DPreview has a very interesting Q&A about the Nikon D2H with a Nikon rep. The rep explains the LBCAST sensor technology which gives the D2H such impressive speed at capturing images. But it goes on to cover many other aspects of the D2H. One reason LBCAST might be worth knowing about even if you are not interested in the D2H is the likelihood that the sensor technology will find its way into other Nikon DSLRs. Look at all the models that are due for refreshing: the D100, D2X; and two new models that are needed to compete with Canon: lets call them a "D75" for the $1000 price point, and a full-frame "D3X" to compete with the EOS1ds. That would make for four new and updated DSLR models they could conceivably announce soon. DSLRs are becoming essential tools for anyone who wants to build a high resolution panorama without spending a year and a day scanning film. 7:00:00 AM
