All of the comments on card types etc are really interesting, but getting back to Shel's original question.....

The DS will do everything I want and while things such as hyper shift and auto white balance bracketing would be nice, I can get away without them. The SD/CF debate is pretty much irelevant in my case - actually it would be nice if the DS took xD cards, then I could use the cards out of my Fuji P&S (anyone know of an SD/xD adapter?). If the cameras were the same price, it would be a "toss up". I'd probably go for the D although the larger LCD monitor of the DS might push me in that direction (aging eyes.....). Overall, I don't think I would have been better served by the D - as I said, the DS does everything I want; the D would do the same, just a bit differently in some functions.
