what's the name of the DX encoding on film cartridges? It meant 'Data EXchange'. Introduced 1983 by Kodak, extended 1996 for APS as DX-iX I feel that 'DX' would have a double bonus, first as the professional series LX etc., second naming the Roman 'X' as ten for the 10 MP sensor (as in MacOSX). A DX trademark for Nikon cameras will be a killer. DiX sounds like Digital Imaging / Dimage. Maybe they stick to *ist -> *istDX
