The question is what will people like me do. Someone who needs to upgrade gear in the new year. I already have some Nikon lenses and digital bodies but I also will need some new SLR film bodies in the new year. Right now all my film work is shot on chrome with M6's. (And a burrowed F4 if I need long glass) Do I stick with Nikon? The D2X eliminates all the complaints I have with the D1x and the D100 ...and based on the spec sheet is a damn fine camera. Nikon didn't wait 3 three years letting Canon have all the glory to turn out a dud. I THINK I might actually learn to like digital with the D2x where I only tolerate it now. ...or do I ditch the bit of Nikon gear I have and get a R film/digital combo kit? ...and what about that rumour of a digital back for the new F6? :^) These are business decision that have to be made soon by many photographers and all this gear is really about pro use. Those that can affort it as a hobby still don't have the same considerations as a pro user.
