Nikon make a great sales pitch about reducing noise, and then forget to put a figure in the specifications against which we might do some checks! -- M Stewart Milton Keynes, UK http://www.megalith.freeserve.co.uk\oddimage.htm |

The specs seem to imply that it comes with a "data back" as standard.

No. F6 is all the features of F5 with all the features that have been added to the digital cameras - including D2H - moved over to film. You should re-read teh specs ;-) While its true the difference isnt as big as it has been in the changes in top dSLR-s, the fault there is with dSLR-s having stated off really primitive in comparison. -- Sander +++ Out of cheese error +++ |
