[zipedit]Sony DKC-ID1 PRO (1996) Vintage / RareThe Sony DKC-ID1 came to life because Sony used its extensive video camera knowledge and turned it into a digital still camera. It was showcased at PMA '96. The DKC-ID1 however still resembled more a camcorder than a 35mm camera. On the other hand it is one of the reasons why collecting vintage digital cameras is so much fun. Just take a look at the design and the features! it used a built-in electro...nic colour viewfinder which could also be used for reviewing images. Not a novelty but I love this in a camera. The status display is right next to the viewfinder so you know exactly what was going on.Impressive too is the 12x optical zoom. No other digital camera of this time featured such an impressive zoom range (equiv. 38-459mm!). Macro-photography and telephotography were just two of the highlights. Exposure control, auto focus, built-in flash, SCSI terminal and a more than commonly available battery pack makes the DKC-ID1 a more than interesting camera. From the beginning there has been some confusion about the model names. In Japan this camera was marketed as the DKC-D5PRO and and outside of Japan as the DKC-ID1.There also was a version called DKC-ID1 PRO, it had a big sticker on the box, but this was the standard DKC-ID1 package plus several accessories like battery, battery charger and 2MB memory card!SPECIFICATIONSModel: DKC-ID1 First mentioned:1996 Marketed: yes MSRP: $1795 lmager Type: 0.45MP 1/3" Sony Progressive Scan CCD Resolution: 768x576 External Storage: PC Card I/II Lens:12x optical zoom (f5.4mm - 64.8mm) Shutter: 1/15s - 1/4000s Aperture Range: F2 - F22 Size: 128x 65 x 145mm Weight: 750 g This is a private sale with no warranty and no return.
