I'm currently into flash accessories, not the cameras themselves. Too many folks want to upgrade their cameras when they still fail to utilize their gear to it's fullest potential...

I am one of the guy's that upgraded before I learned all about the camera I had. I can't imagine anyone actually learning how to use all the stuff in today's camera's! I had two thing's I was looking for. Bigger hand filling size and better auto focus. got both and a thicker manual that I will never figure out. Someone once said the best thing to do with a new camera is to sit down and read them manual, hog crap. I have no idea how anyone could remember all that stuff and it's not always clear why I would want to use some of that stuff. I though the manual that came with my F5 was to much, now it's seem's like a start up page for a $39 printer, plug it in and print! lol 

There is no way I'll ever learn all the stuff my new camera can do but, when I come up against a wall, I refer to the manual hoping to find it. My old D70 had a commander mode that worked well. Try and find that in the D70 manual! It is there, just buried!
