Time for DVD burning. I've been dreaming about the D80. I don't remember 
what the link was but I ran into a site where somone had hacked the 
Nikon firmware and found reference to setting that would make it greater 
than 25MegaPixel. Nikon would not comment whether that was intentional 
for future cameras or could it be enabled, according to the article. I'm 
not sure of the reliability of the site though. I beleive I had stumbled 
upon it while looking for something to do with the D80 on Google.
