I used a Z1p for a few years and then moved to the MZ-S, mainly for the P-TTL and wireless flash. I found it easy to move to the D. I've been looking at the DS, and admit that the larger buffer and USB 2 would be nice, but I wouldn't like to give up things like the hyper operation or the wireless flash - I use this all the time. I carry 2 AF360FGZ flashes around normally and a bracket for macro use. I'd hate to have to go back to cables to the flashes (I have the cables from the Z1p days and keep them for very occasional use). >I went for the D and later got a battery grip (which is not going to be >available for the DS). With the grip, the D handles quite well, even with a >300 (or rather, now a 450) lens. I've been contemplating the battery grip but haven't bought it yet. A 300 f2.8 would be nice on the D. >Anyone know function of the "access lamp" on the back of the D? It tells you when the CF card is being accessed. Do NOT remove the CF card while it is being accessed. Leon http://www.bluering.org.au http://www.bluering.org.au/leon
