Is compact flash the only memory card to go with the D100? IIRC, I looked at the specs and it said the camera can use CF or SD. What about a nice 32GB SDHC card?

does it have the cable? i'm sure you can put it on there yourself if you have the cable or find a cable to if.

I am guessing when he says "the cable" Justin is saying AC power supply? As far as for the firmware upgrade.
Not sure I would sweat the firmware based on what I have seen of the camera. I need to check mine, it completely
slipped my mind.

When you get the camera, take a photo and look at the thumbnail display and scroll right or left through
the info displays...I think there are 4 or 5. Histogram, basic EXIF data 1&2, and general file info. In the 3rd or 4th item
on the first EXIF page there is the firmware version. Mine is a version 2.0, so there is that wonder and worry eliminated.
And correct, Compact Flash only. I only buy used, but the price can be about the same or close nowadays. Hard part is
getting them in 'Low GB" versions. Not that the cameras can't take the big ones, I think a properly firmware'd camera can
take at LEAST 8GB cards (?), It's kind of a waste to use more than 4 GB on that camera. You'd get too lazy and lose data
one day. 2GB are almost too small. But plenty, that's for sure. You could shoot a whole shack weekend like a clicking cliche'
and not fill a 2 GB card, cause it don't do vid-yo. One thing for sure, now that SDHC is in almost everything modern, there are
people EVERYWHERE with CF cards they don't need.
Cept' me.

I got all the $100 cameras I can stand for now.
Plastic has a slight steam rising from it.
Won't be able to use it til it cools.

On the D100 they 'recommend' that you either take it in to have it done, or you find a A/C adapter
cable to keep the mirror....wait...that's cleaning the CCD...never mind. Haha, that's the CABLE I was
referring to. Derh.
I do not think the D100 firmware is even available to the casual photographer. I think it is DEPOT ONLY.
That's why he is hoping so hard that it's updated already.

I've been playing around with the Nik Software suite of plugins lately. Really like the results. Sure, you can do it all with PS, but this really streamlines your workflow.
Here's one with SilverEfex Pro

You can pick up a CF-SD adapter for about $20. Basically a CF card into which you insert an SD.
Using one in a D200 and shooting RAW and the write speeds are certainly acceptable.
