Minor correction to what you've heard:
D300 has one CF slot, D3 has two. Whatever you've heard about two slots on the D300 is most likely sombody mixing up the two bodies.

When you get a chance to use it, try a u-point and open it up to all the sliders. Then play with the "S" (Structure) slider. It amazed me!

John,
I agree with you. Sometimes, too, we have to upgrade one or several things because of an upgrade in something else - shuch as buying a new camera then having to upgrade software to accomodate the new Raw files. When that happens, I

I meant what I typed -- the D300. I was told it had double CF slots. It's one of the reasons I think it's worth the money.
However, I'm interested in noise reports on the D90 from those who have bought one.

Weldon,
I agree about the cost and the time it takes to go through a new learning curve. Having said that, there are also times when the benefits truly justify the investment. I believe this is one of them. And, $99.95, for the upgrade,($9

Paul--Did you mean D300 or D3? You mention the double CF card making a backup and I'd be very embarrassed if I'd not noticed a second slot on my D300's after all these months:-) Or did you just mean that it uses CF like the D3, D2X, etc. which I agre

The old versions of Nik Sharpener (1 and 2) are darn good. It's really getting tough to keep up (financially as well as knowledge-wise) with all the software updates, new versions, etc.

Good day all . . . "web-stats" aside, I'd be curious to know if anyone has purchased a D90 and is seeing less noise than the D80 at either "standard" ISO200 or above. My druthers would be a D300 (best bang for buck in my view, and I love the fact th

Nik just released this new version of their sharpener program. You have to download the trial version to believe what it can do. I think it is the best I have ever used.

In theory this will accomplish my goals. The process looks straightforward and the restore default likewise (very simply, in fact). I'll give it a try over the weekend and let you know.

Thanks Mike.
I've been mulling it over and have a few more thoughts.
Church membership is pretty fluid, especially in the DC area, so a book that has removable / replaceable pages is probably the way to go.
