You're probably right - it makes perfect sense.

I just remember reading a LOT about the Rebel (D300) before I bought it and I was pretty sure I saw some writeup about the focal plane being further back as well. Its been almost a year since I read that and I can't find it again.

I do know the "stock" 18-50 zoom they sell as part of the kit will ONLY work on the Rebel. My understanding was that it was because of the focal plane issue.

Anyhow - its still a sweet little camera. Once you go DSLR, you'll never want to go back to a standard Digicam with a built in lens!
