Digital Photography Review
The D1H is based on the original 2.74 megapixel D1 sensor but has a far larger data buffer and frame rate ability. Capable of shooting at a maximum of 5 frames per second for up to 40 frames, the D1H is clearly aimed at sports and current affairs journalists who need high frame rates and good buffer size. … Nikon took the already very good D1, fixed several of the issues surrounding it (color space, pattern noise) added even better image quality, a much more user friendly menu system and text custom functions.

I was less impressed with the news that the application software needed to really get the best from the camera … is extra cost. … I still believe that the D1 is an important camera. Not for what is is, but for where it’s pointing – to a day not far off where digital images from single-shot cameras and backs will be of a quality level to replace film. READ FULL REVIEW
