I've used 1000D's, MP's and MKV's.  Even had the chance to use a 1000D right
next to a MKV during a M/M once.  The extra $$ for the D just doesn't seem
worth it, the difference between it and a MKV is o-so-slight.  Separate RX,
well, the MKV does this just fine, even though no BPF.

Which one do I own now?  A MKV full of filters.  Am I content with this
choice? yep.  I don't haul it around much, or else I would opt for the Field
version.
