Working with my Nikon D1

This last week I bought a nikon D1 online. The D1 was the first professional DSLR that nikon sold. This was back in 1999, Now that its ten years later the limitations of  the technology of the day are becoming more and more apperent. 

the Nikon D1 was built with a 2.7 megapixel sensor, which compared to my D40 is less then half the resolution. Still for the price I paid for this camera , it was a steal. 

Its also in great condition, really! it looks brand new. Now the biggest problem that I have noticed with the camera is its noise sensitivity and low light operation. Any picture that without a ton of light is full of noise. 

here are a couple images that I have taken so far.
