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. Mark Rabiner Photography Portland Oregon New-improved http://rabinergroup.com/
