Nothing big. Looking at what the D1 thinks is a skin tone there is only one who needs to catch up. I don't see 40 consecutive frames or a high frame rate saving my life when I am too thick to pick the moment to shoot. And interpolation is certainly not even the second best technical solution to more image data.... rectangular pixels plus interpolation in only one direction - what a joke. And we all know that Canon will show a new camera in August. I don't see Nikon coming even near that with just added buffer or interpolated resolution. It's like their lens mount, they are tinkering around without doing the real thing. -- Michael Quack <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.photoquack.de * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
