I got one of the first in July, 2002. Switched from an F5. Took it on a trip to Portugal 2 days after getting it and it did a fantastic job w/ 17-35/2.8, 28-70/2.8 & 80-200/2.8. 1 gb Microdrive works great.
Very intuitive if you've had Nikon film SLRs. Fast & quiet. Battery life is superb. SB-80DX flash is great with it--very good fill flash operation.
My only complaint (not just this camera) is the cropping ratio due to the smaller than 35mm chip (can't go wide enough). I'm trying to decide whether to go with the new DX series lenses, or wait for a body with a full-size chip.
Problems:
No problems in 9 months of use.
