What's the "s" got over the regular model ?
(yes I know I could look it up myself, but it's been awhile since I've had a good ole photog geek down)
HD video, not really a big selling point to me, but it's new. Live View, which again is just sort of ho-hum to me. Quiet Mode, which sounds interesting- basically when it's turned on the shutter noise is much less noticable. A real nice addition is dual memory card slots (one CF and one SD), and the ability to copy a photo to both at once, or start on one and bleed over to the other when the first one is full. Nikon states the S has faster Autofocus than the original. There's also dedicated info button, which reviewers are going nuts about- I guess with this it's possible to basically shoot photos with only one hand on the camera.
