The D1 was a legendary and revolutionary camera: a WHOPPING 2MP digital sensor that allowed photographers for the news services to submit photos "only two hours after an event" (via dialup). I recall reading that the first two major events being shot all-digital by the AP were the 1996 Super Bowl and the RNC/DNC national conventions. Until it was pointed out that nobody could tell it wasn't film nobody knew. From there the age of film for journalism was over.
