Yep - coming from an 8008 with a reasonable assortment of glass the D70 seems like a sure bet, once they are actually available. I see B&W through the lens of an F3 which is my old workhorse. If I didn't already have a bunch of Nikon glass, I'd be all over the EOS10D. I like the way that one feels ... but not enough to replace all those lenses!

Once I figure out how to load the Leica's, I'm going to run a roll through each and see what happens. Guess I'll have to reacquaint myself with my old spot meter. It has been years ... I suspect that I'll dispose of the iiiF and keep the M4P as it is more recent and I suspect probably a better body. On the other hand, the iiif body has a vintage / coolness factor to it that the M4P lacks... Running a roll through each should provide some answers to the question of which to keep. Any suggestions on the best place to dispose of Leica gear? KEH, B&H ?

D IN Conduct, do you have any experience with Nikon's software 'Nikon Capture' or 'Nikon View'? The idea of having all the original camera settings embedded in the picture file is intriguing. It seems like having both JPEG and NEF file formats together would be a best of both worlds scenario. Seem's like it would be selling a lot of 1or 2gb C/F cards too... Do I need a copy of Photoshop CS to accompany the Nikon software ?
