The '''Nikon E series''', co-developed with [[Fujifilm]],<ref name=fuji >[http://www.nikonweb.com/ds565/ Fujix DS-565 (aka Nikon E3S)]</ref> are [[autofocus]] 1.3 [[megapixel]] professional grade quasi-[[Full frame digital SLR|full frame]] ([[135 film|35mm]]) [[Nikon F-mount]] digital single lens reflex cameras ([[DSLR]]) manufactured by [[Nikon]] since 1995.

The E series included the ''Nikon E2/E2S'',  ''Nikon E2N/E2NS''  and the ''Nikon E3/E3S''. The S-variants are identical except they had triple the frame rate and a larger buffer.

Its [[Telecompressor|unique optical system]] bundles the light of the full-frame lenses to the small [[Image sensor format#Table of sensor formats and sizes|2/3&nbsp;inch]] [[Charge-coupled device|CCD]] sensor. That gives approximately 4 [[F-number|stops]] more light at the small sensor, therefore delivering an exceptional (for that time) minimum sensitivity of 800 and maximum 3200 [[Film speed#Current ISO system|ISO]], which remains usable for press and news use.<ref name=fuji />

==Technology==
[[File:Space Shuttle STS-70 Launch DSC00001.jpg|thumb|right|[[Space Shuttle]] [[STS-70]] Launch. Taken with a Nikon E2: 1/2048 sec., f:1/16. Unknown ISO/ASA, but very high shutter speed even at a slow [[lens aperture]].]]
The Nikon E2/E2S and E2N/E2NS use a [[Nikon F4]] subsystem, the E3/E3S uses a [[Nikon F100]] subsystem.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=sY2neBqnpTwC&q=nikon+e3 McBroom's Camera Bluebook By Michael McBroom]</ref>

===Optical system===
The E series uses a unique additional optical system that enables the small sensor to capture the field of view of a 35mm film, with a [[crop factor]] of 1. This comes not at the expense of the [[speed|F-stop]] of the lenses, because the light is bundled to the {{frac|2|3}}&nbsp;inch CCD sensor with approximately 16 times smaller area. The result is approximately ''4 stops (2<sup>4</sup> = 16) more light'' at the small sensor compared to a full-frame sensor. Therefore, the camera has a minimum full-frame sensitivity of [[International Organization for Standardization|ISO]] 800 which is equivalent to ISO 50 at {{frac|2|3}}&nbsp;inch. As a result, the noise of the camera at ISO 800 full-frame is equivalent to ISO 50 of the {{frac|2|3}}&nbsp;inch CCD sensor. Nikon could not reduce sensitivity below 800 ISO full-frame, because the little sensor will be overexposed below 50 ISO.

The exceptional high sensitivity up to 3200 ISO (equivalent 200 ISO, {{frac|2|3}}&nbsp;inch) can be seen as an advantage for indoor or [[available light]] photography and is important for professional press and sports use, the customer target area.

Although the camera is small for a 90s DSLR, the additional optical system makes the camera deeper compared to today's DSLRs.

Standard [[Nikon F-mount]] lenses can be used.

===Storage and replay===
A [[PC Card|PCMCIA]] compatible memory card is used. Images are digitally stored as uncompressed TIFF or compressed JPEG. It can be accessed via a [[SCSI]] [[Electrical connector|connector]]. TV replay (NTSC or PAL) is possible.<ref>[http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/companies/nikon/htmls/models/digitalSLRs/E3E3s/index.htm Nikon E3/E3s Digital Still SLR Camera] MIR</ref>

==Variants==

===History===
Nikon gained knowledge on digital cameras ([[still video camera]]s, with analog storage) by constructing the [[Nikon Still Video Camera]] (SVC) Model 1, a prototype which was first presented at [[photokina 1986]].<ref>[http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/companies/nikon/htmls/models/digitalSLRs/SVC/index.htm Additional information on Nikon Video Still Camera Model 1 & Nikon QV-1000C Still Video Camera] MIR</ref><ref>[http://www.nikonweb.com/svc/ Nikon Still Video Camera (prototype)] Nikonweb</ref> The follower [[Nikon QV-1000C]] Still Video Camera was produced since 1988 mainly for professional press use.<ref>[http://www.nikonweb.com/paris2005/ Nikon QV-1000C? Never heard of it.] Nikonweb</ref> Both cameras used QV mount lenses, a variant of [[Nikon F-mount|F-mount]] lenses. Via an adapter (QM-100) other Nikkor lenses can be fitted.

The [[Nikon NASA F4]] was one of the first cameras with digital storage. [[Eastman Kodak]] used Nikon SLR's to design the [[Kodak DCS 100]] and followers.

This first variant was manufactured since 1995 and were also available as [[Fujifilm]] Fujix DS-505 and DS-515.

Announced 1996. Also available as [[Fujifilm]] Fujix DS-505A and DS-515A.

The ''Nikon E3'' and ''Nikon E3S'', co-developed with [[Fujifilm]] and marketed also as the ''Fujix DS-560'' and ''Fujix DS-565'',<ref name=fuji/> are [[autofocus]] 1.3 [[megapixel]] professional grade quasi-[[Full frame digital SLR|full frame]] ([[135 film|35mm]]) [[digital single lens reflex camera]]s ([[DSLR]]) announced by the [[Nikon Corporation]] on 15 June 1998<ref>[http://www.nikon.com/about/news/1998/maye3_98.htm Professional digital cameras Nikon E3 / E3s Digital Camera Refinement Redefined] Nikon</ref> and released in December 1999. The E3S is identical to the E3 except triple frame rate and larger buffer. They are followers of the ''Nikon E2N/E2NS''.
