I've heard it will have a built-in motor, and rewind, and that it will have 1/250 flash sync, but it won't be AF. But then they were saying Nikon's F5 would go 13 fps, have built-in image stabalization and come with a 20-35 f/2 and 80-200 f/2 lenses that sell for less than $2,000. Not even close as the annoucnements show. The F5 is probably state of the Art, but who's art? ========================== Eric Welch Grants Pass Daily Courier
