It's a prosumer digital SLR that's built for the longer haul, so it seems. When AF came out Nikon went from 2020 to 8008 to N90 (there were others but these were the more successful) Each was functionally and structurally improved. The progression slowed considerably after the N90. I just wonder what the next big thing in photography will be. Ten-years ago the response to someone making a serious prediction that in ten years most people won't even be using film. Polaroid will be bankrupt. Kodak will be struggling. Cameras will capture pictures electronically and send them right to a computer. It wasn't a huge reach, but still I think a person making that claim would have been laughed off the list.

The construction is also much better. It seems to be a huge step forward for my uses. Allen
