I have had the D1 for 2 1/2 years,still plan to keep film.I plan to do film B&W until
digital can do a
better job,then ponder move # 42 in life.If i had not already invested heavely in Nikon
equipment,i
would be buying the starkist now.

Well i still use the film cameras 75-80% of the time.I use the D1 for money making
venues
only.I would
have loved to aquire a Pentax digital but Nikon and Canon already had market share,AND
PRODUCT,out so when push came to shove,Nikon won me.Not a fan of big white plastic
lenses
Canon
has.Would make me look like a "pro" then.<vbg>
Not to say i will never buy the starkist.I see a lot who have bought are experiencing
the
same
production pains as the D1 series first attempt.Firmware improvements will help.
