I did notice I seem to be one of the few (only?) with both. In truth, I made a real snap decision to buy it when I saw it was available at Adorama, so there was a several month delay between purchase and delivery. I use it as a backup, since from my point of view there is little point to using film as a backup to digital since you end up with t he travel disadvantages of both. I think the different memory card issue is not a problem since I have a couple of MB worth of storage for both, I have an images storage unit (Wolverine), and I don't shoot RAW. Also, I am a big fan of small cameras so the Ds fits my style just fine. I find the Ds interface very workable, although he annoying "buried" feature for me is changing the metering mode. It would also be nice if the grip fit on the Ds, but the cheaper price is nice.
