Bob-

I, for one, am glad they do it.  I have a theory (strictly personal
observation-based theory) that Nikon runs stuff through the amateur market
as a test source and makes money doing it.

When I had a Coolpix 990 shipped to me in Kosovo, I couldn't help but feel
that it was the D1 test platform.  I have the same theory about the 5700.
Chip and circuit testers!! The D2 may be higher rez when it hits, but  it's
being tested by thousands of amateurs IMHO.

I carried those (990, now 5700) in my car as back-up when I don't want to
drag the D1's.
