    Intensify for Mac

    This editing tool for IMac's is on sale right now. Is anyone familiar with it. It certainly lists enough features, but often times other editors do not play well with Macs. I am presently using Aperture for all my editing.

    Was just looking thru the Adorama website and notice that a refurbished D7100 cost less than a refurbished D7000. What is up with that? On Nikon store site it is the same thing. I have half a notion to call on Tuesday and find out.
