I bought one a couple of months ago in Bangkok - no issues. The once numerous threads on the left-AF issue have died out - I assume Nikon have quietly sorted out the problem.

Don't count on it. My bet is an APS-C with a (slow) fixed 2.5x or 3x zoom.  That lens wouldn't need to be very big.

There was one made in the UK a long time ago (by a sub-division of ILFORD I think) - it might be able to be adapted to take a digital camera on the back.

Highest rated by whom?  Do you want a 3x, 5x or 10x zoom? How compact is "compact" ~ does it need to fit in your coat pocket, or your shirt pocket?

The vast majority of Leica's new sales are to rich people in places like China who want a status item to show of their wealth. Just look at where they are opening their Leica boutique stores.

The US Customs and Homeland Security people will check your bags in Canada if the flight is going to the US ~ but not if  the flight is going somewhere else like Europe.

Have a look at the section Detail and Moiré K-5 II vs. K-5 IIS in the recent DPR review of the Pentax K5 II and K5 IIs. These cameras have the same pixel density as the D800 / D800E.

This may cut costs and save them money in the short term - but the only way for newspapers have a chance of staying in buisiness over the long term is to provide superior content.

I use Nikon - mostly because I have done for years and wanted a camera that worked with my old manual focus Nikkor lenses. However, if I were getting into an APS-C DSLR system from scratch,...

It's not so difficult to create a script that will download and seamlessly assemble all those small parts together - so that kind of "protection" is additional hassle, and ultimately not all that...

I'm not sure what the focus problem you are having is -  I don't find a particular problem with the D800 and flighty subjects. I'd suggest the best thing to do might be to rent a D3X for a few days...

It can be financially worthwhile There are even "copyright trolls" who register the copyright of photographs  - then post them on-line hoping people will steal them - some time later they then...

The IQ of a photograph probably depends far more on the skills of the person operating the camera - and the skills of the person PPing the image - than it does on whether the image was taken with a...

I tend to beleive the opinions of a person who actually uses both systems far more than one who bases his opinions on DXO measurements.  I own a D800E - but I have seen plenty of incredibly good...

Maybe he was just afraid to tell his wife that he'd lost such a valuable item  - and she couldn't tell the difference between a D700 and a D300 :-) I misplace stuff all the time and often search...

I wonder just how many large prints you would need to be making on a regular basis to justify the cost of a good large format printer, inks, and paper -, as well as the investment in time involved.

Not really an upside - since widesprad prior use lowers the market value of the images.
