Going strong with commercials on Sky TV, I stumbled upon it twice this evening.
The camera surely has interesting features. The number of frames per second is impressive.
I have a question for Nikon history persons: wasn't the first Nikon camera, the Contax III copy,
also called Nikon One?

Is that a horizontal cloth shutter?

Yep, one of the reasons it was a big success with western reporters: much more reliable than the Contaxes...

Yes, but you can't fix it with a sharp toothpick. Smile
