True Boris, true. But in defend of my friend I can tell that as much as

Thanks, Kevin,
Exactly what I was asking for.
I'm anxious to read an image comparison test between the D5 and Mark
II. (dpreview, maybe?) Throw in the D200 and all the more interesting.
I agree with your positive remarks re removable backs being the best of
current technologically.

Lens availabliity
Only slightly off topic. I saw a firewire/USB comparison on the
television show "Call for Help".
The results were interesting. I don't remember the exact details, but
they used firewire and USB to transfer about 10 Gbytes of data. They
did the test on an apple and on a dell.
Here are the resul

Interesting tale, Kevin. Thanks for sharing.
A couple of months back, I chanced to meet a nature photographer using
the same beast with a 500mm f/4. He said that dust was a big problem
with this particular camera. Much worse than its predecessor, the D1s.
