  • What a great answer from the forum's foremost Obama apologist! President Obama is waging "World War II" against the American public. We used the same techniques against the Nazis and the...
  • I really love the polite and tactful nature of some of the negative comments about the camera...

    for example...

    "Mercifully, the Coolpix A avoids the recent Coolpix tradition of poor data...

  • The Canon 1D Mk3 was reviewed in Aug 2008, just a short year after it was announced. You are probably thinking of some other camera.

  • If "superior content" led to success, then explain why Celine Dione has sold three times as many records as Aretha Franklin did? Sometimes popularity is determined by things other than talent.

    Do...

  • IMHO.... within ten years MILC cameras will outsell DSLRs. DSLRs will still exist, of course, and still have a very healthy niche, but the MILC cameras will dominate the ILC market. Now here's the...
  • The two political parties have created this kabuki theater... where they pretend to oppose each other, while actually agreeing on most issues. Then they create entertaining campaigns in which they...

    Hey... it's not like Bush is still president. Barack Obama is in charge now, and if he wants to do this, then all the mindless leftwing dopes will have absolutely no problem with it. File this one...
  • is that Rice is being rewarded for being such a good liar about Benghazi. For nine straight days she never veered from the script. She kept insisting "the video caused it." Obviously, Rice knew she...
  • that color exists everywhere on earth. It may have a different name in some places. Like the color "flesh" might have a different meaning in Finland and in Uganda. In common usage the color "peach"...
  • I really think the Nikon 1 system has potential. Especially when sensor technology keeps improving. Plus it is being sold by Nikon who really understand marketing and selling things. Nikon isn't...
  • If you want to have a lot of options, for both lenses and bodies, and a system that is well positioned for the future, then you really have to consider M4/3. Especially when you consider that two...
  • Craig.... your plan worked afterall! And another big "thanks" to Laura.
  • Craig... I thought I was the only one having that problem. I checked settings to see if I accidentally turned something off.... and I hadn't. You probably should have posted this question in a...
  • Olympus EPL2 with Panasonic 14mm f/2.5 lens The GX1 and Panasonic 17mm f/1.7 lens is a great combo, but it might exceed the OP's budget of $600. An Olympus EPL2 with Panasonic 14mm f/2.5 lens would...

  • Replied in Nikon 1

  • Wow... hold the presses! BIG NEWS!

    Pentax has added a fifth color to their WG series, and introduced yet another cheap P&S compact camera that no one will buy.

    Maybe they missed the news about...
