A lot of people don't want to deal with 36mp, nor the possibility of getting an oily lemon D600.  Or the controls/features of the D600 aren't enough for them. It's too bad there is no clear upgrade...

They recalibrated the AF on my former 7D in record time, and I saw a nice improvement.  From the time the camera left my hands to the time I had it back in my hands was 7 calendar days.  They were...

Typical German.  It is anything but flat and lifeless.  In fact it looks just about as pretty as the scene that I saw with my own eyes.

Umm, you know the X100S (and presumed X70) has a 35mm FOV f/2 lens, and those others have 28mm f/2.8?

I should have known Velvia mode wouldn't be great for DR, and this is a high DR scene, but I thought this was interesting... Velvia Raw Sometimes I'm glad I shoot raw+jpeg.

They recalibrated my 7D's autofocus in 7 days - that is, from the time the camera left my hands to the time I had it back in my hands was 7 days.

Fat is ugly.

Umm, why would you be using a tiny flash diffuser like the Sto-fen outdoors anyway?  There's nothing for the light to bounce off, so you're just wasting batteries.

Congrats, enjoy your new camera, you will be thrilled!

What a refreshingly objective post!  I am really tired of the underexpose-then-push-5-stops camp. Wait, you lost me there.  You said the 60mp of the IQ160 is a big difference compared to the...

No, my 5DIII joystick feels just like my 7D's did.

You already have a nice collection of high quality lenses that cover a ton of uses.  I really think all you stand to gain from switching to Nikon at this point is more mp, a big hole in your...

I don't know about that.  It would appear from DxOmark that the D800 performs better than the D4 for DR, and effectively just as well for noise. However I have seen anecdotal comments to the...

If Compact Discs had been appropriately priced from the beginning, or had rightfully settled down to the appropriate price, people would have been less inclined to steal music. The appropriate...

Why not a used 5D2? Wonderful camera.  If you can afford a new 7D, I think you can probably afford a used 5D2. Landscape and birds/wildlife sit on opposite ends of the spectrum of photography. For...

There's a 150 post limit, so why not a time limit?  Resurrecting long-dead threads is so annoying.

Well if you can afford it, the 5D3 is the ultimate.  Basically the difference between it and the 6D is it has a large number of usable focus points vs. 1.  However, I really don't have a problem...

I would think they would be more appropriate since they were made for a similar if not identical flange distance? Don't SLR lenses need a bulky adapter to make up the flange distance? I'm tempted...

I have no experience with those lenses, but from what I read it seems like the Sigma 17-50/2.8 with OS is the best bet in this class, and better than the Tamron.  I would avoid the 17-70 based on...

Sensational shots!  Thanks for posting!
