It looks like a good balance of price and performance for the enthusiast shooter. Thinking about upgrading to it from my D-50 in the Spring. Check out dpreview.com for good info and camera comparisons/tests. Be aware that this new line of compact SLR's from Nikon do not have built in auto-focus motors. This means that older lenses will still work with the camera, but since they lack auto-focus motors unlike newer lenses (AF-S and AF-I lenses) that have the motors built in, only manual focusing will be available when using an older lens.
