Considering that my Nikon 500 mm f4 lens cost more than that, the price on this new generation of digital imaging technology really isn't bad. But then again, I have a very serious photographic addition that has no doubt clouded my sanity when it comes to things photographic! Although there have been tremendous advances in digital image technology, it'll still be a long time before I hang up my Nikon F5's in favor of an all digital approach to photography. Despite the resolution, there are still things that you can't do with a digital when it comes to low light and reciprocity failure that I'm unfortunately seriously addicted to having as tools that I can play with in my photography. That said, that doesn't mean I won't consider buying Nikon's new generation digital toy... hmmmmmm.........
