Yes, i find the same thing, although i have use dthe istD for my equestrian events in a pintch and get good results. I prefer my D1 or D1H. Be carefull with the D2H. Mine and a few others i know, suffered a lot of melt down problems with the D2H. AE board quits, shutter replacements and metering adjustments. With mine, all this and more, in less than 9000 shutters. Possibly some of the problems we're worked out in the D2Hs.??? I rarley use my D2H anymore, its become so unreliable. My two D's produce much nicer and sharper photos. Also, get the 70-200 VR if possible. Its a fantastic zoom, but a bit heavy.
