SeanOnt: The one thing BB offers that Iphone and Android don't is they have a true business platform that the others don't. Many corporations have jumped shipped and have tried to make an iphone a business phone but in the end they just don't integrate as well. If the new BB 10 OS and phones can catch up they will have a chance to rebound especially in the business world.
Sean,
A lot of iPhone fanboys don't want to hear that the reason the U.S. secret service, CIA and FBI still use Blackberry products is that they work so well and is still the most secure.
Of course, that doesn't mean much for personal users, since they don't use enterprise servers etc.
I STILL like my keyboard. I like feeling the keys when I type. If they build a phone the size of the Torch 9860 WITH a slide out keyboard, I will be tempted. Otherwise, I will stick with my current Blackberry 9800. It does everything I want very well.
snow14: wow $18000 for the 800mm ,are they trying to make up for the nicely priced d800 and i am talking about the few good copies with no AF issue
It only morphs when someone has an agenda of sowing fear uncertainty and doubt about a competing product. FUD is used by underground marketers to try to paint a competitors product as being somehow 'less' than your own. If you have NOTHING that will sell your own product, you try to tear down the one of the competitor. It doesn't matter if that FUD is true, only if you can make it stick.
dieter achtelstetter: How long has HD been around ? The only HD content available today is still only on BlueRay . Non of the cable companies , satellite TV providers have anything that can really delivers on the HD experience. None of them have 1080P and the 1080I and 720P they do provide is compressed so much that if their is any movement its lower then DVD quality. For example watching evening news where only the news guys eyebrows and lips are moving looks great. . ITunes only has 720P, so my 1080P TV potential only gets used with BlueRay.
Not everywhere. DirecTv has many special events on 1080p here in the USA. Their 1080i is far better than any cable signal I have seen too. I have never seen a cable signal that is worth using. Our local city has fiber optic service that also has much better signal.
Nice design exercise, but it's really not necessary for most. Us photographers like to pixel peep way too much. The television in Cowboy stadium is 60 YARDS wide and uses a 1920x1080 screen. I don't hear of anyone complaining about low resolution. If you are far enough to see the whole picture, the resolution is not a problem.
As for American companies adopting a new standard, forget that anytime soon.
They could hang a battery pack where the motor drive went. They could even include a motor drive inside. But that would raise the price a lot. If they made it modular, they could include a back for the different models, a sensor would clip into the back and the whole thing would plug into the electronics and battery hung off the tripod mount.
I might want to start looking for another F3 or Fm2 body.
Wait, show that girl again....
Is photography dead?
Those cameras in devices and phones are not really cameras? They are not good cameras, but cameras they are.
Make a Torch that is the size of the 9860 but ADD the slide out keyboard and I will consider switching out of my older Torch. Maybe even just a touch wider than the 9860, too would be even better.
Not just POTUS and his cabinet. Blackberry, when used with the Enterprise server is the standard of the military and CIA/FBI and any company that requires high security. There is no contest between RIM products and the vast majority of other phones.
As far as the camera, it is not why I bought a Torch. Although frankly in good light, it does just fine. I don't think of my phone as a replacement for professional cameras.
I tried several phones before buying the Torch. My wife owns an iPhone and if I didn't buy the Torch, I would have bought a Galaxy S III.
I will be fine with it. Thanks fo your work.
bikinchris: Sorry, not interested in giving away images. It undermines the photographer industry.
Sorry guys. Wikipedia is nice, but it doesn't pay for groceries to give away images for free. I am not allowed to cite Wiki sites in research anyway.

I am in Vegas right now and I got to look at the Celine Dion book they sell at the concerts venue. The shots in that book for $30 mostly suck. They can't be using the best photographers. Maybe no on ehwo is real good wants to work and give away rights?
The 160-by-72-foot screen in Dallas Cowboys stadium is only 1920 by 1080 pixels of information and it does just fine. it is much larger than any movie screen except some of the old drive in movies. I don't see a real reason for this other than a design study.
I love the post processing. Great pose and the girl is perfect. She would have had the hearts of every service man in the war. Well earned first place.
This girl is great. Nice shot.
Best of the challenge IMO
SirKingly: What a great new SLR...
Then you will always be waiting for the next camera, and then the next camera and so on.
Buy what you need today. If you bought a D700 last week, then use it. If you have Canon lenses, then a 5D MKII is just fine.
cesaregal: My experience with the D700:
a) no noise until 3200 ISO (very good on sunset's lights)
b) very good large prints with high resolution lens (as 50/1.4G)
c) excellent portraits with 85/1.8 lens.
I don't need better Nikon's cameras.
I need other Nikon's lens (300/4G, 400/4G).
There is already a 400 f4. It's called a 200-400 f4 VRII.
And before anyone asks for a 400 f5.6, use a 300 f4 and TC14
