In 2002 Contax shipped the first full-frame DSLR, which was followed by Canon’s popular version, the EOS-1Ds. By 1999, five years before the F6 appeared, the first fully integrated digital SLR designed from the ground up, The Nikon D1, had been launched. The LCD screens on the back of digital cameras we take for granted arrived in 1995.
The world’s first digital SLR, The Kodak Professional Digital Camera System, had been introduced 13 years previously in 1991. Perhaps what caught those people out was how far digital photography had already come by 2004. As Thom Hogan observed at the time, the launch of a new pro SLR surprised a few people, but it really shouldn’t have Nikon delivered the F6 eight years after the F5, which was the standard interval between pro film bodies at that time. The Nikon F6 was announced at Photokina 2004, along with the digital Nikon D2X.
