Last month the local photo dealer, with a big used counter, took in a half 
dozen complete Nikon systems. Reason given, the owners thought  Canon  had 
leapfrogged Nikon with the 10D and 1Ds. Same guys probably traded in their 
Canon lenses when the D100 was available and the D60 was impossible to find.

Lenses are disposable commodities these days. Not many built to last. Chips 
and motors change. "A" replaces "D" replaces "U" replaces  "S". I'm waiting 
for a "double D". Not faster or quieter, but grabs attention. Downside is 
it'll make a camera body feel top heavy.
