[Leica] Nikon D100

[kargue at sympatico.ca (Kevin Argue)]

Mark,
           I agree with your comments about the D100. I used it for a  
Royal visit this year and I
was the official photog. I use it on large fine files and the  
pictures that were published all
over Europe looked great. Sharp detailed images. Reminded me of using  
Leica film cameras
like I used too. As for the shutter-- Nikon says they are only good  
for a certain number of shots
and I reached it!!
