oh... another D100 enthusiast... well guys... this little AMAT Digital reflex seems pretty cute... =) It should have an affordable price (nearly 3000Euros) and a promise good results. well... nearly half the cost of the D1x... rumors said it should cost as much as a standard Nikon F5. The CCD has little more power compared to the D1X one; tho the D1X one has superior quality on his side. The main differences are: The Body, the electronics, the pre-processing, the quality of the reflex system and an overall reduction of the quality of the mechanics. BTW... a really good choice if you want a digital reflex! The main problem (it's a D1 serie problem too) is the software. It's really, really, REALLY shitty. If you compare to the Kodak's Reflex Software dotation the result is that Nikon has understood anything of the Digital post-processing. The Drivers are unexistant, the NikonView Software is buggy, dated and unuseful... the rest of the utils are crap... the Photoshop plugin too.. Really nice machines but really crappy software...
