Its a lot more expensive than a comparable Sigma flash, but its far smaller and recycles a lot quicker.
I have a 1 gig IBM Microdrive that, for whatever reason, got slower everry time I used it. I've also got two Lexar pro jumpshot 256 meg cars that rock the casbah and I use 'em day in and day out.
I have a gallery at

Everything but the London photos were shot on the D60.
The vertical grip is definitley in the plans as well as a flash...I was thinking the Sunpak 555 with battery pack, but thats not set in stone yet.
You say the IBM 1gig MD gets slower with use? hadn't heard that happening before but I was going to look around on mass media storage soon, possibly an image tank and two 256 cards or something along those lines.
