For a long time, my idea of a camera was that of a DSLR.
I only realized years later how much the Nikon D80 informed my idea about what a camera is. I forget exactly what the PR rep's response was, but it was something along the lines of, "There are Nikon pros who still shoot film."
"Why?" one of the other journalists in the room asked, only half jokingly. While 2004 was still (technically) early days for digital cameras, we looked at the F6 as if it were an artifact from a different era. It would be the last in the line of Nikon's storied F-series professional film SLRs. He then put the not-yet-announced Nikon F6 on the table. Towards the end of the meeting, after showing us a half dozen or so digital doodads, Nikon's PR rep pulled a Steve Jobs and said he had "One more thing" to present to us. We were there, ostensibly, to get a sneak peek at Nikon's forthcoming digital cameras, including a range of Coolpix products. This was back in 2004 at Nikon USA's headquarters on Long Island. Dan Havlik, senior editor, Digital Photo and Digital Photo Pro: This discussion of "The Last DSLR" reminds me of one of the stranger NDA product meetings I've had.
