In fact, the D700 is natural in manual mode, like an F or F2, but you never have to put film in it. Also has something they call adaptive D lighting, which afaics, compresses each end of the curve and helps with blowing out the highlights. Old model, but FF and waited years to buy it, until the market became stable and prices low enough s/h to be affordable, just. > > One mistake I made in buying the new system was getting a telephoto > lens without the stabilizer.

A tripod doesn't help when I want to freeze motion. > One of the things I like about digital is the wide range of iso, so you always have choices as to aperture and speed. The always carry camera here is an old Lumix, which has stabilisation and tele up to 500mm+ 35mm equivalent. Around 50 ukp s/hand and always just works... Chris
