OverviewNikon E2s

The Nikon E2s is an early professional DSLR camera built on a metal body derived from the Nikon F4 chassis, measuring 164 x 120 x 160 mm and weighing 1,850g. It uses a 2/3-inch sensor delivering a maximum resolution of 1.45MP, with a maximum image output of 1280x1000 pixels and sRGB color profile support. The ISO range runs from 800 to 3200, reflecting the sensitivity demands of early digital sensors in professional shooting environments.

Autofocus is handled via a Phase Detection system, and the camera supports burst shooting at up to 3 frames per second. The optical pentaprism viewfinder provides a traditional optical viewing experience. It accepts Nikon F mount lenses, making it compatible with a wide range of Nikon glass.

Storage is handled via PCMCIA cards, which was a standard for professional digital cameras of this era. The flash system supports standard TTL flash with X-sync at 1/250s and is compatible with Nikon Speedlights via a standard ISO hot shoe. The camera is powered by a Nikon EN-1 Ni-Cd rechargeable battery rated at 7.2V and 1200mAh.
