Subject: [Leica] Nikon D2X - now D100

Well my d100 still works great so I'm not screaming for a new one. I
have had only one really large and annoying complaint about the d100
and I still don't understand Nikon's motives: To get newer firmware
for the d100 the owner must ship it to Nikon. I don't know if you are
aware, but Nikon isn't exactly a J.D. Power & Assc. candidate for best
customer support so the thought of sending it is... well, its not a
thought. This is the only dslr that requires such action for updating
firmware and it makes no sense... at all! I mean, it has a USB
cable... I have Internet access... every other Nikon is
downloadable-firmware capable - so, um... why?

To be completely fair to Nikon, Canon ain't no shining example of
customer communication either.
