Memory

LUND--It just occurred to me that a camera like the D3 ought to, in addition to the excellent feature of having slots for two CF cards, have a gigabyte or so of internal memory. This would serve several functions. It would allow one a significant amount of extra shooting when the regular cards were shot up in the heat of the moment. It would, in the same manner, give one that little extra bit if, in the field, you shot every bit of card space. And it would give the photographer a "secret" bit of storage if one were ever forced to give up one's memory cards or if one thought one was one could switch over to shooting on the internal memory. The feature, like almost everything else on the D3 could be customized and, given the amount of storage that can be fit on an SD card now, shouldn't have to take up much room.
