I hate the expression "Don't get me wrong"! It is meaningless, cop-out, an excuse. Feel free to disagree with my comment. Feel free to agree if you wish. All I ask is for you to be objective and abstain from labeling or name calling.

I find the Klamar photographs not up to par. The backgrounds seem to be patched-up of wrinkled bedsheets. I find the lighting somewhat offensive. It Klamar's intention is to present his interpretation of ARTS, then I simply have different preference of Arts. If I were his client, that would be the last assignment he would get from me. I would refuse to give him referrals.

While supporting myself towards my engineering degree 50 years ago, portrait photography was my specialty. During my time as a professional photographer, I REFUSE on the spot assignment rather than compromise the quality of my work. I gave up being a "professional photographer after earning my engineering degrees.

I am troubled by the personal attacked on Klamar.

Darn it! What happen to taking picture that tells a story? Looks like photography has moved to pixel fixing.

I'm not sure of what you mean by "wireless adapter". I have a wireless (remote) shutter release. It is about the size of a computer thumb drive. It works on D80, D90, D200, D300, D3100, D5000, D5100, D7000, D700, D800. . . and perhaps other Nikor DSLR D series. If my response is not helpful, go to the Nikon website.

I am not a pixel peeper and my eyes is not as sharp as it was 40 or 50 years ago. But I do not understand why the comparison sample photos are of different magnification and resolution (pixel) setting, and lighting. I understand the difficulty in comparing two different SYSTEMS (i.e. Nikon v. Canon v. Sony), however, what is so difficult in comparing a D3100 v. D3200 using the exact PRIME lens (not similar) on the two bodies, using a jig to ensure exact distance and FOCUS, and identical resolution (pixel) setting, while balance, lighting and other camera settings. For the D3200, add shots at the higher PIXEL setting not available in the D3100. IMHO, the comparison methodology used here is acceptable for a high school science class.

and what is wrong with the ISO 200? ISO 400 better than 200 in what way?

Post your comment on the Canon forum.

It is 1.5. same as Focal Length multiplier.

I'm one of the lucky ones who saw and successfully use the Google link. I'll delete the file if you say my download was illegal.

Zhary - I was able to download. Unless you are a newbie, I would not recommend buying the book.

Joseph - I don't know how the site was able to differentiate the location of the requesting computer with respect to timewindow, but the point is it was only for 12 hour duration for each specific geography. Your search engine was not the culprit. The site was simply overloaded.

It was worth posting the difficulty I encountered. Others posted link to Google URL, which I used as source download. I don't know if it was legal. If and when DPReview declare such download as illegal, I'd gladly delete the file. I think the Wildlife Photo would be helpful for ammatures.

The success and survival of any product depends not in its design, performance, experts and none-experts glowing review / opinion BUT on the consumers wallet. The Sony Betamax was superior than the VHS in all respect but the consumers bought more VHS equipment and tapes. The Blue-ray specs is better than the DVD but the market penetration is not as good as projected.

As few posted comments, I also am NOT a professional photographer who may need a better memory card than the current SD/SDHC format. More likely than not, my current digital camera and memory module would outlived me. I handle my cameras with care, hence, have yet to experience physical failures of memory cards.

In the unlikely event that I need (not want) a new camera, I'll stick with the ones designed for SD/SDHC memory cards.

In my earlier post, I mentioned having dozens of memory cards. Started with the then huge 528 mb for $49. As the capacity increased coupled with price drop, I bought 2, 3, 8, and 16 gb capacity. I stopped at 16 gb and limit its use to the video camera. I used the 8 gb on the DLSR and the smaller 4 gb on the pocket camera for the same reason Zds stated: Dare not to put many eggs into same (one) basket in case of equipment failure or lost. I also experienced 4 and 8 gb cards to be more cost effective than the huge 16, 32, 64 and 128 gb.

GearGuru - there are WiFi type SD/SDHC in the market for almost a year. Between my wife and myself, we have fairly inexpensive digital cameras: 2 pocket size (Lumix & Kodak), 1 Fuji Finefix, and 1 Nikon D300. We also have two inexpensive digital video recorder. These gadgets use SD/SDHC cards. In all, we have a dozen of these cards, varying from 9 years to a few months. I have yet to experience ANY failure you described nor any failure at all. Are you, perhaps, a professional photographer working in very rough environment?

Hans - I went to the URL you provided - Cover looks good

Hans - Where can I preview your book to see the proof in the pudding?

I tried! for an hour. I guess I might have to go to and check-out the book in a bookstore. If I find it worth the asking price, buy it. I am not surprise of the difficulty in connecting to the website though. Thanks anyway Uwe
