This *does* get confusing, with the D100 being built on the F80 (N80) body. You don't think Nikon is deliberately trying to confuse us, do you :-). After all, they are in a competitive relationship with Canon and the EOS-1d *is* in fact built on Canon's top of the line EOS-1v body. - -- Rolfe Tessem rolfe@ldp.com Lucky Duck Productions, Inc. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
