Quick review

The good
Image quality, fast start up, customisable control, USB2.0 connectivity, programmable FUNC button, build, ease of use, in-camera editing, help menu system
The bad
Pricier than competition, slower (than D70s) top shutter speed, but not much else!
Verdict
Excellent handling and build, superb performance from the metering and the focus set up add to the confidence the camera builds as you lift it from its box
