...and what, pray, is really important?  The core of any DSLR is its sensor and it is also the core of my post - read it again.  I have no doubt that Canon has been busy in cinema and lens design...

It seems that lately Canon has not only stalled in sensor capabilities but actually gone backwards.  Their latest full frame offering, the 6D has gone backwards in the number of pixels and...

Excellent reply.  Unfortunately, it will probably fall on deaf ears judging by the original post.  It seems that some people are simply incapable of understanding that making a post as silly as...

No question... A liar and a cheat and cannot be trusted.  Indeed the interview with Oprah is no more than a self-serving attempt at harm minimisation.I don't think you can trust him even now.  I...

I read that too and I smell a rat.Urban areas should show a greater increase in warming due to the heat island effect.  The fact that they don't points to the fact that either "rural" areas are now...

No it isn't.  Read the articles.  They point out that all they do is compare urban and rural temperatures and because they show little to no difference (!) they have concluded that the heat island...

It cannot be.  There is no way it can be calculated and removed from the temperatures.

I remember when we were on the cusp of a new Ice Age - and guess what, we still are.  What we have now and have had for the past few thousand years is called an Interglacial period.  The next Ice...

It strikes me as odd that anyone can ascribe a figure of 0.006 degrees per decade for something as large as a city on a per decade basis and over a century!The thermometers for Melbourne are in...

Leaving aside the obvious advantages this has for photography, a beakthrough such as this augurs well for electric vehicles.The biggest problem with electric cars has always been the "Three R's" -...

Lies, damned lies, and statistics.  Most of the data comes from urban areas which are experiencing localised warming due to the heat island effect.  You cannot factor this out because no one knows...

He does know what he is talking about. When you change focus with a prime lens, the focal length and hence angular magnification changes slightly. Not a problem for still photography by very...

If someone breaks into your home, shoot to kill - period.  No ifs, not buts, no excuses.

Braggart! :-)

You talk about banning undesirable actions and things, but scream "blue murder" if someone wants to actually change the law to do so.Take a good long hard look at yourself and stop your paranoid...

Agree with you completely.  Using film can and does teach you a lot about photography difficult or impossible to do with digital.  By the same token, the reverse is also true - digital largely...

Time for a reversal of trends - try slide film for a positive view.

It is a return to being sensible about receiving and spending revenue.  What happens if an agreement isn't reached before the new year is that the US will no longer be able to spend money it...

I wonder what the discount will be during the post Christmas sales? :-)

With an attitude like yours, I just hope that you don't have a gun.
