Does anyone know why it is not released 'all around the world' and only in Asia first? I guess it doesn't matter where it comse from? Seems like I have had my D70 about the same amount of time as dbgrafix (doug? hope I have that right), so I am cautious as well, Camera was bought with no need to upgrade firmware until now. ohh and some people mentioned (not here but elsewhere) that it is worth waiting a bit for any bugs to be ironed out, any ideas? Thankyou Kindly, David
