I still use my D1X from time to time. I like the feel of it because it reminds me of my F5. In fact, they so closely resemble one another that I've mistakenly grabbed the wrong one at times and ended up away from home with a digital camera in my hand and a pocket full of film. Because of its weight, I find it easier for me to balance the longer zooms that I own. Never really had exposure problems with it. It's usually spot on.
