Mine just hit 10,000 exposures and still going strong.
I've handled the DS and DL, the D with battery grip
is still the right one for me.
I have zero regrets so far,
The D has some more user features than the DS (dual control wheels
for aperture and shutter selection, HyperProgram, more flash metering
options, multiple user-configurable presets), can take a battery grip
and takes CF cards.
The DS went with a simpler control/feature set, a larger LCD,
It's been my tool of obvious choice since it's owned me. I have yet to shoot
in a situation that caused me to want something else currently available
that isn't significantly more expensive. Sure, I'd like my wide angle lenses
to retain their apparent perspective when mounted on the *istD, but
do - if you have enough time and
