The closest thing i have to lag with my D1x is if I quickly lift the camera 
to go for a shot without pushing the shutter half way to take reading (with 
the camera turned 'on' but inactive). When taking a shot cold like that, it 
seems the camera wants a fraction of a second to turn itself on. I had the 
same problem with both my N90 and N90s. As I recall, my F100 may have done 
it once or twice as well.

On a note for Nikon film users, if you haven't used the F100, you're 
missing out on a real treat. A lovely camera. I wish Nikon had been able to 
go from the F3 and skipped the 90 series altogether.

I guess the subject line shouldn't read "frog" anymore -- unless we talk 
about how some of the early Nikons, like the first F2's were held together 
by -- are you ready -- rivets !! :)
