Re: Nikon 10 Meg D70 replacement in 20 days Actually, Nikon's core competency is in *optics*. A very large part of their revenue comes from extremely high-end optics, such as those used to reduce wafer masks in chip fabs, or other industrial or scientific instruments. While that's related to consumer-grade 35mm lenses, I'd put forth the argument that Nikon builds and sells "35mm" cameras only as a means to get people to spend more on lenses -- although the rapidly-obselete nature of digicams has changed that dynamic in recent years. - Solomon -- Solomon Peachy pizza at shaftnet dot org Melbourne, FL ^^ (mail/jabber/gtalk) ^^ Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum viditur.
