True, complaints certainly shouldn't be dismissed. I do expect that firmware upgrades will provide significant improvements as time goes by. Yet, I have to say that based on what is admittedly still a fairly minimal amount of experience (around 300 exposures), I'd have to say that this camera outperforms the D by a considerable amount. But I agree that there are a lot of pixel peepers at dpreview, who tend to work themselves into a lather over minutiae. Paul On Nov 25, 2006, at 8:25 PM, Shel Belinkoff wrote:
