First of all, Nikon isn't a big player in the digital market. They sell N90 bodies to Kodak. Their own digital camera, the E2N is a joke. An ugly one at that. Canon and Kodak are the kings of the digital camera world that most relates to journalism and 35mm camera type users. Seems to me Leica is now the king of the high end digital camera market (that still uses 35mm lenses). I don't see anything to compete with the S1 for performance. ========== Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch He, who will not reason, is a bigot; he, who cannot, is a fool; and he, who dares not, is a slave.
