Jeez, no kidding TD. Just the changes just in these categories make it almost a no-brainer to upgrade:
durability - new magnesium alloy body
sensitivity - yay, finally slowed down to 100 ISO
shutter speeds - top speed from 4000 to 8000
white balance - looks like more Kelvin adjustable. maybe less guesswork
AI aperature ring - metering available with that old classic manual focus Nikon glass
battery status - remaining % and shots since last charge
Sweet looking rig for sure. Now I just gotta convince the 'finance chairman' what these changes mean....
Thanks for the link TD
