pma2005... o nikon, where art thou?

so far, pma2005 looks like a replay of some yesteryear, except in digital: dozens of point-and-shoot cameras consumer digicams, a few lenses, and two digital SLRs. both SLRs are updates, but while canon cleverly updates its cheap digital rebel as 350d and beats d70 specs, nikon updates its journalist-grade d2h as d2hs. sigh, this means a longer wait for less-than-wealthy prosumer nikon users like me. [d2x costs $4,999. d2hs will be $3,499. d70 costs $999.]

[resolution: by june 2005, i will either own a successor to nikon d70, assuming it shows up on time, or will have sold a part of my nikon gear to buy a canon eos d20 with a few good canon lenses.]
