Yep. And from Nikon's point of view, it also makes sense economically. Most lenses are available with AF-S today, and if they get you on board for cheap, they need to make you pay otherwise <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Absolutely. A bit like giving you a printer then making you pay top dollar to feed it.
Whilst I have AF-S glass lying in wait, it would be upsetting to have those AF-D ones sitting gathering dust
So yes, D800/E (but not at current prices)is preferable to the mythical D600
Luckily for Nikon, many will disagree and buy it
Strange, D800 itself was a 'Rumor' just a few weeks ago
Ever feel you're being manipulated?
