[QUOTE="STM, post: 122104, member: 12827"] My jaw almost broke my big toe when it hit the floor the first time I looked at the owner's manual of my D700. The last camera I got new was an F4S over 20 years ago and the owner's manual was maybe 75 pages long. The one for my F2 was maybe 30 pages long and it was [I]mostly pictures[/I]. To say it was culture shock was an understatment of epic proportions. I started reading through it and said to hell with this and just learned as I went. Since I use it pretty much as little more than a digital F2, there really is not a whole lot I need to know about it. It may sound strange, but I honestly don't know what three fourth of the buttons do, and that goes double for most of the menu items. I guess this old film dog is just too old and stubborn to learn new tricks! :D [/QUOTE]
