Fanboys and shills both do service on the forums. I don't think most are paid to do it, they just enjoy it or work for the companies and do it out of misguided loyalty. But the vast majority who...

And that's NOT tacky?

Same press everywhere, pretty much. It's just a business, like everything else.

I find there is a whiff of hypocrisy in the press attitude to all things, including Snowden's leaks. Murdoch used his own (illegal) surveillance. I know GCHQ, there are only a handful of people...

I would keep the 24-70 and not bother with the other two. Especially for a wedding. 24-70 is the lens I use nearly all the time. For landscape work I like the 28 1.8 and 50 F1.4 (the bokeh is...

I meant only that the coalition is better than a majority government because it gives lobbyists a hard time. I think they'd have a hard job reading it all.  The problem is the "free press" are...

Hey, geeks are cool in Canada obviously. This is great.

One wonders how much denial a nation has to bluff its way through it realises why people think it's dysfunctional.

Wow, if anyone needed proof of your psychological superiority complex, this is it. What kind of utter moron would assume this kind of post was in any way appropriate, let alone a self-appointed...

It may be painful, but the reason that the rest of the world think Americans are stupid is because people like you post on the internet. If you would just STFU then a lot fewer people would have to...

That's what "freedom" means :-)

Twit.

The very striking parallel is the use of the word "patriotic". Stalin, Mao and Hitler used that adjective all the time as a synonym for nationalistic racism and suppression of "unpatriotic"...

Better than C1 (IMO) but a lot of moire. I would say evens with LR - artifacts vs detail. The same old trade off.

In the end of this none of this matters all that much unless you are very very sad.

How can a minority dictate policy?

Ooops - sorry I didn't use enough fixadent....
