The first known Nikon camera, Nikon Video
Still Camera Model 1 which was designed for digital imaging (a floppy disk based,
black-and-white-only digital imaging camera) was showcased at Photokina '86. The
displayed unit adopted a new QV-mount (can be converted into Nikon F-lens bayonet
via an adapter), and a Nikkor 6 mm f/1.6 lense (never specified whether it
is a QV-mount Nikkor). However, this camera has never been officially went into commercial
production and has just remained only as a prototype.

The more known unit, Nikon QV-1000C Still Video Camera, which was more popularly
referred as Nikon's first non-film-based SLR also uses similar concept of the previous
mentioned Model 1, which uses a "digital" medium (via a 2 " micro-floppy
magnetic disks that can store approx. 380,000 pixels images), can has the capacity
to take approx. 50 images).Source: Nikon website.

The QV-1000c, a strictly black & white
format camera offers basic features like any of today;s digital-medium camera and
even can handle tasks such as cropping or remit via telephone lines to designated
receiving end. The camera also offers standard AE control modes (Programmed
AE, Shutter Priority AE, Aperture Priority AE or Manual exposure control). TTL flash is also possible with this camera
via its ISO-type accessory shoe that rests a top at the rather oversized pentaprism.

The usable shutter speed range is from
1/8 sec to 1/2000 sec with ISO from 400 to 1600 and equipped with secondary features
such as memory lock and exposure compensation dial switch is provided. The camera
uses a few dedicated lenses but conventional 35mm SLR lenses can also be used via
an adapter called QM-100. The two interesting aspect of the camera are: 1) its QV-mount bayonet which enables two dedicated QV-mount Zoom lenses to
be used exclusively with the camera (F-mount lenses can be used via the adapter),
2) the top shooting speed is an astonishing 20 ips (images per second) when set at
CH mode, the slower 4 fps is possible at C (continuous) or S (single) mode.

The "standard" lense for the QV-1000 is a 15 elements,
dual rings, fast speed 40-160mm 35mm equivalent QV Zoom-Nikkor 10-40mm f/1.4.
The lense has a close-focus design to enable macro shooting at 8.7". Lens diameter
is a moderate 62mm despite its fast aperture. The alternative option, QV Zoom-Nikkor
11-120mm f/2.0 ED was an ED-glass equipped, extremely complex optical
design lense which uses a total of 21 lens elements in its optical construction.
The lense has a standard to super-tele zoom range (44-480mm at 35mm equivalent).
The closest focusing distance is 3.6' and a filter diameter of a huge 82mm thread
size.
