The Nikon Digital SLR's have not been as here today gone tomorrow as we
predicted. The D1s are still considered to be front line pieces of machinery
that many or most would not have dreamed of parting for for a d100 for many
issues. Buffer being the most obvious. The d2h series is still too small a
file to get people buying it like lemmings a pixel by any other name. So
we'll wait till the D2x to incorporate most of the coolness of the D2h with
a file size to put hair on our chest or at least make us breath easy. The
D10#whatever will be the "Nikkormat" or FM of the digital lineup.
