Digest of additional new D2Xs features:

- New Black & White sRGB mode.
- In-camera "trimmable" JPEG images for immediate website or e-mail usage. (640x480, etc.)
- Uses 3-D Color Matrix II metering in High-Speed Crop Mode within cropped frame only for more accurate cropped metering.

I notice that most of the new features could easily be installed in the older Nikon D2X with a software upgrade. Will Nikon give us one?
