Why can't 30D have full weather-sealing?

- Start date
In another post the same hour you are praising your 1DIIn and would rather like to have an even more expensive unsealed 2nd body (5D)!
So, if you want to have glass for 2 brands just because you don´t understand the non-difference of 8 to 10MPx - go for it. Lowepro has good backpacks for the 8 lenses, 3 flashes and 2 bodies you´ll be carrieng around.

Out of twenty odd replies about three people realised it was a satirical mickey-take of the whingers and whiners out there who are moaning about the 30D.
For the rest of you - IT WAS A JOKE !!!!!!!!
Sorry if I didn't make you laugh but boy reading most of these replies sure made me laugh.

I'll take the 45-point AF system for $500 and full frame sensor for another $500, Alex.

Is a complex system whereby the location of the camera is known to various satellites and if a storm is detected in the area the satellite can remotely shut off the D200, preventing costly water damage. The camera can not be turned back on until it is moved to a drier place and kept off for 8 hours to allow it to dry out.
Though last I read, it failed the dunk test.
Calling something "weather sealing" is different than being useable
in rough weather conditions.

Oh yes , and the test mentions that. I quote (translated by me):
"When we look at the doors for memory card and battery compartment we see some seals. It is obvious that these seals are not made to be water resistant. To test it we put 5 drops of water on the battery door. After a few seconds the water made its way under the door. When we opened the door we saw that the seals had not protected the room and that battery and contacts has become wet. We immidiately dried out the water and turned on the camera. It didnt work and we had to let the battery room / camera dry before we could use it again.
D200 need to be held away from water. If we should trust Nikons word in their own brochure, then they do not guarantee anything about water and dust resistance. The camera is assumably better protected against water and dust than other cameras, but caution is still required as with all other cameras that is not water and dust sealed."

Oh no! I just traded all my Canon gear for Nikon! What am I going to do ?
Than's it! I'm switching back to Canon this afternoon!

Full weather-sealing AND a direct-print button?
You can't have both. One is targetted at the highest end
of the market, the other at the lowest.

Then I take the direct-print button please. At least it works ;-)
I think you are beeing a little harsh on the Sony sensor here. While certainly not high-end it is not completely rubbish ;-)

What makes you think this guy even has a camera? Ever seen his pictures?
Probably a keyboard photographer.
LOL, but I like you way of thinking.

I read your post, and after reading all the others about the 30D, did not even consider your thread to be an attempt at humor.
Now, what does that say about the state of this forum?
Either way, my apologies for giving voice to what that post made me think. Normally, I just smile and continue on by ... and what does that say about this forums affect upon me?

I didn't see any obvious humour in this one not being a Simpsons watcher .
http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1019&message=17315986
Without that not readily accessible reference the post just seems like another whine...
However I thought mine was pretty obviously satirical. Actually the fact that so many people didn't see the humour is, as you say, a pretty sad reflection on the forum. I'm always ready for a little irreverence...
This one was more overtly comical - http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1019&message=17338522
-and I'm very glad to say most people realised it. Now you realise it was a joke, I hope you can enjoy reading the replies as much as I have

"However I thought mine was pretty obviously satirical".
Swift you're not.
"Actually the fact that so many people didn't see the humour is, as you say, a pretty sad reflection on the forum. I'm always ready for a little irreverence..."
Actually, the fact that so many people didn't see the humor (sic) is more a reflection on the execution of the "satire".
And while you were typing all of this, i was shooting Lambchop at ISO3200 with just a tiny podium lamp, a sixty watt bulb behind a gel 20 feet away in a corner and 6 overhead 100 watt bulbs that were faded down until they were just bare light glows. That beats your sports shooting all to hell and the fact that the result was quite acceptable shows the obvious superiority of Canon over Nikon.
(see, that's bad satire, EXCEPT that the shooting part is true)

You are a humourless nasty piece of work aren't you?
