Digital BW, The Print

Yeah his info was wrong.  Its a 5.4 megapixel chip that is interpolated to
5.9 megapixel.  Remember, it is Canon that is keeping up with Nikon...the
D1x is over a year old now...I would imagine that Nikon will launch another
pro upgrade in the fall or winter.  The D100 which is positioned to compete
with the D60 is also 6.31 megapixel.
