I only have 2 Nikkor lenses for my N6006 but still I am going to the D100. I love my Nikon and I have heard great reviews on it. Yeah the Cannon is a slightly better camera but then again there are many photographers that are slightly better than me. Ok more than slightly but hey... I was at our annual fundraiser last Saturday night (www.DiaboliqueBall.org if you want a tax deduction!) and we had 4 photographers there. One I don't like his work, one I have never seen and the other two were both shooting Nikons. One was the F100 and the other a D100. Now I may be a bit bias, in the fact that I love Nikon, but the one shooting the D100 also is one of my idols, Barbara Nitke. I love her work and she also happens to be a great person too. www.barbaranitke.com (Warning! Adult content!) I just love her work. Rather unique. I have been looking at DSLR's since before I got my Sony 707, since the beginning Nikon has had my attention and that was BEFORE the D100 came out! Once I saw the D100 it was lust, now it is love. I was supposed to get mine this week but one little word stopped me, wife. Although she can't stop me next week! I get paid from the last shoot I did and that puts the D100 piggy bank over the top of that $1499 price! Personally I can't wait! I want it NOW! But that four letter word is making me wait. So until next week I have to make do with the Sony. I love film, but I just can't do with film what I can do with digital. I can't afford a darkroom in this house and the instant gratification that I get from digital helps with the fixer withdrawals. (OK I am weird I love the smell of fixer) Donald said it to me awhile back, Barbara said it to me last weekend and I will say it to you, you are going to LOVE the D100! Just hope my love for my wife holds out until that client pays her bill! Magick Michael
