well done John. Storage is a problen, except if you have lots of money. Then nothing much is a problem i guess. At the moment I prefer the Sony Mavica solution. Storage on a small disc is just so convenient. I can shoot Tiffs all day and just reload with a new disc just like film, I am never compromised into having to shoot lower quality jpegs. At the end of the job I can just give the client the disc. So convenient for all.
I changed from nikon to leica some years ago, and leica are still thinking about a digital reflex solution. But even then I'll be hard pressed to move from Sony. The camera comes with a Carl Ziess lens that is excellent. It works well manually with studio flash too. And with time Sony is sure to increase the file size and quality.... I hope. What I can not understand is why you and others say that they can achieve better results digitally than they can on film. Interesting. In Australia where I work most of the mags I work for have a no digital policy.. it's all about quality.
Have fun with the D100
