What modes is continuous focus disabled in -- the programs? Works fine for me in M and AV on the DS2. As for the control set, I miss the vertical grip and front dial, but do not miss the implementation of drive mode and ISO on the D, which require you to change position relative to the camera

Blue is one of my favorite cats, and whenever I visit with him I like to grab a snap or two. Yesterday was no exception, although Blue wasn't cooperating by engaging in his assortment of tricks and poses. He found a warm, sunny spot, and he wasn't moving. This is far from my best photo of him, but

Clearly Bob doesn't have a D! :-) The later bodies lack several of the D's capabilities, like continuous focus in all exposure modes; wireless flash using the RTF to trigger the remote unit; and most functions available via knobs rather than menu-diving. All of these are useful, at least
