I did not think it would happen so soon, but Nikon just announced a $200 "instant rebate" on several models. So since it is my birthday today my wife surprised me with "look honey we can save $200 and free shipping, it is your birthday, let's buy it today" Of course she could have been trying to kill me with shock, I hadn't thought of that. I am eligible for Medicare today, hoo boy that's old. Anyway it comes on Thursday, it will probably take me a week to read the manual. It took me a day to set up the d700. Of course I followed up immediately with "Ah gee honey all I have are these forty year old lenses, maybe...." Oddly, she was not amused, wives, go figure. Joe
