Gale Bizet: This is a beautiful image..

Don't have those types of views in boring Florida..
Congrats
'Some like it hot" - Billy Wilder's classic film.
Tony Curtis did a fine impersonation of Cary Grant.
The all-girl band (supposedly) ended up in Fllorida.... (though it was really all shot in California!).
Kartika Sari: entry level camera with this high iso capability, come on!
if you are not happy with this, get D4
I just downloaded the file & gave it a quick going over in Topaz DeNoise 5. It looks pretty damn good to my eyes at least, certainly usable for the web if nothing else - especially for an entry level DSLR and a kit lens !!
A very fine photo-essay from Walker ;
Hossaini's graphic portrayal of the carnage and death of civilians is horrifying, but devastatingly pitiful.
Photo-journalism at its finest.
Camp Freddy: Quite underwhelmed really. How much can you get a used m9 for?
UK £4000 on ebay.
Martin Gowar: A professional photographer friend of mine over here in England tells me that recently his faulty Nikon D1X was returned via Calumet from Nikon unrepaired, with a letter stating that as the camera was discontinued, no servicing was no longer available. The D1X was first launched in 2001.
On contacting Nikon about servicing his D3, (launched in 2007) he was told that Nikon will stop servicing this camera in 2016.
So it seems that Nikon have firmly embraced the 'throw away society' maxim to their (professional) products, and the philosophy is there for everybody to see : if your camera breaks down, buy another one - you know it makes sense.
Corporate greed personified.
My point exactly Dave Oddie, but that is what Nikon UK have told my photographer friend. So if the battery door on your D3 breaks after 2016 not only will there be no independents with any spare parts to fit a new one, Nikon will not help with repairs either.
Not sure about Canon DaSigmaGuy - though if they follow suit I think there should be howls of protest across the world at their crass stupidity & greed.
