No just get a D200 - that is the spitting image of a D200, every button in the same place, a couple of the buttons changed name left of the LCD but that's all I can see from a quick glance!

Of course it has that Fuji CCD...

This is the camera body that the S3 should have been in two years ago! Now they haev a great camera body and last year's sensor. My guess is they will get it right... in the S7!

My guess is that the S4 is skipped for the usual reason, the Japanese pronounciation of number 4.

If it has the speed/buffer of the D200 and price is similar I will be getting one. It will be a dream for jpeg shooters :lol:

Yep, which is the same pronounciation as death (死).

Same like say....canon g1-g2-g3....g5
minolta z1,z2,z3,....z5

I'm with Nikon on this. :) My wife and I just bought a house with the street number "444". So far the number has gone pretty much unremarked by our families (both ethnic Chinese) who harbour the odd superstition, but apparently aren't too fazed by this one...our ready-made answer if it ever comes up, is "Then don't read it in Chinese". :P
