Congrats. Oneputt with his new acquisition of the new D2x.
Charge it up and shoot free.

D2X lust and subsequent purchase may enrage the other half; lengthy hospitalisation may be required. It's rarely fatal, but it sure is spreading! :lol:

Congrats Oneputt. I am, and I suspect I'm not alone, quite green with the ol' envy. More 'brownie points' needed before i attempt to even dream about it!
I'm sure we are going to see some great images with it. Enjoy!!
cheers

Spada,
The D2x flu is just a breeze in your passion and the homeloan debt is your "Death sentence" or "Life sentence", they won't match to each other. :wink:

Co-incidentially, upon deconstructing the word 'mortgauge' we find the words 'mort' (death) and 'gauge'. This pretty much means a death sentence Birdy :D :D

even after you have acquired the D2X flu the only cure may be a dose of 2.8 lenses and or 200-400 VR's to lower the temp! :cry:

It's true! a Fresh baked Nikkor 200VR f.2 or 300VR/ f2.8 is the supplement vitamin to the cure :roll: after well treatment of the flu :wink:

Yes, It's true gentlemen!
It's time to retire all your 1Gb CF card and replacing with the 2Gb or 4Gb.
The unforseen of the damages with the flu!!!!!
And then, what's next? :lol:

With 4Gb cards, then you'll be safely to shoot.
Transferring to your PSD won't much help with the file size of the D2x in full RAW (20Mb/ea).

I think the D2X flu is what you get when you don't own a D2X. Symptoms include turning green and drooling a lot Image .........
