There will be issues with the cameras that will be worked out in the production models. I would recommend not buying the first batch as I suspect that this is being rushed to market. Nikon is really getting hit in the professional market by the Canon onslaught. With the release of the Rebel XT that was featured to out tech the D70 Nikon might be pressured to release the D2x before it is really ready. For me, the biggest issue with the D2x was the viewfinder. The indicator is four corners that flash red. A photographer that only shoots the camera in one mode or the other will not have any problems learning the viewfinder. However, for the photographer that switches back and forth, you are going to cut off heads or not shoot as tight as you thought. Canon had wind of the noise issue and was gleefully shooting the 1Ds MkII at 3200 and shooting by a single candle. Don dorysrus@mindspring.com
