Hey Mark,

Has the S5 finally been released.  I notice that review still has a release 
date of "early 2007" and some of the details remain listed as "unknown".

I had an S2 - my first DSLR.  An awesome camera with the one flaw of being 
way to slow for sports photography - which is what I was using it for. 
:-(  Traded it in for a D1H and then a D2H.  Those had awesome speed, but 
the pictures were crisper from the Fuji.

I've been waiting for the S5 specs to come out - and / or the camera itself 
hit the market.  It's the one camera that might convince me to buy another 
Nikon DSLR.

Jeff M
