Nikon and Canon have been selling digitial cameras for over 10 years. In the case of the D100 there are subsystems used from the F80, but the camera is not a F80 modified for digital use. Nikon also has had their version of USM lenses out for several years and they have been selling a lens with IS also. BTW, I saw a rumor on another board, not Nikon, that Nikon will be introducing a D2, DSLR with full frame sensor that shares features with a yet unannounced F6 SLR in the Spring.
BR From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Heiko Hamann) ..... Maybe those Canons and Nikons are so expensive, as the belated integration of digital technologies is more complicated than a complete new chassis.
