Zig just bought a new Nikon something-or-rather that just came out recently to replace his current Nikon. He had a whole bunch of reasons why it was the best choice that his friend he was talking with agreed with. Apparently the closest rival was a Canon which had more $$ attached and wasn't necessarily worth the extra $$. He ordered it last week and it's due to arrive this week. I'll see if I can find out what model it was.
