I had to chuckle at the sound of the high speed drive on the Mark III........certainly that frame rate has been done before...but what's missing this time is the sound of film perforations being split or/and the end of the film being wrenched from the spool! lol
Yelvertoft/ Duncan,
Far from it for me to poo poo Nikon cameras, as I actually prefer them to Canon's...BUT....The D40 had some issues....we all preferred the older D50 at work, plus the inconvenience of the D40 with some D lenses, plus a weird habit of too many of these babies coming back for premature repairs/ exchanges, mainly due to firmware and electronic issues, we're all glad they're going.
It's a shame Nikon got rid of the D50 so quickly, I personally rated it higher....I just hope the D40x has had the issues we saw with the D40 ironed out.
The concept is excellent, and most D40' s are....just a few bad eggs spoilt it I think.
