Opinion: - We miss the Adobe-RGB setting, although - after converting the RAW image - this can be done in Photoshop, which is a bad idea. It's the gamut of the original image that counts. Adobe RGB should be a choice within the camera-settings likewise the Canon EOS-1Ds I tested before.A recommandation in the userguide to use s-RGB is certainly not professional. Adobe and Kodak should do a bit more talking!
- Image-quality after converting RAW images (which is NIKON's ) is only superb with the use of single focal lenses. Even the newest Nikon ED AF-S Nikkor gives lower quality (each aperture) than older single focus lenses. The CMOS resolution is so high, that this is easy to detect. With my 2.5/105 mm and an ISO 100 setting, I obtained a quality about equal to scans of analog 6x7 cm slides.
- It's poor that with such a camera in the M-mode and older Ais-lenses the exposuremeter is not to be used.

Problems: no problems, only a few disappointments, mentioned above.

Opinion: This is the best digital camera ever produced. no noise. Great color. Easy to use. Great ergonomics. Fantastic. There is absoutely no need for anythign better. None. I've ordered two more cameras for our shooting. Go right out and get you name on a list. The Canon is joke in comparison. Think of Tojo and Hirohito. Bombast and junk. Scrap and Jap.

Problems: I couldn't get more of these cameras and have to get in line again.

Opinion: 14MP, but it behaves like a low level amateur camera. Technically a very nice camera, mechanically and designwise a flop.

Problems: Looking through the viewfinder it is almost impossible to see the whole screen area. This is in part due to the short eye point and partly due to the camera back that extents backwards. Using any big lens you will be close to getting stuckwith your fingers between lens and camera grip. These are major design flaws caused by basing this camera on an inapropriatly low level camera body.
