... during this busy time. I can understand that you want to provide the review, but there is a lot on your plate. I personally appreciate you taking the time to let us know what is going on. I do appreciate your reviews and they do have a lot of influence on folks, so I suspect that a good review is worth waiting for. I suppose one could rush it, but then where is the fair assestment?

Just my 2 cents!

P.S. I wouldn't be surprised it you were already looking over the 40D anyway. ;-)

... and not for extras. Normally, unless a website has an incredible number of folks frequenting it, a forum and/or site does not make a huge amount of money off of banners. I don't know the number of viewers of this site, but I can tell you that it does cost a bit of money to pay for servers, site management, etc. I suspect that Phil and company are not raking in the dough; however, I also suspect that this is one of the better photographic sites because of its quality content and many wonderful people involved in the discussions.

Also, the fact that the owner of the site posts in forums usually tells you that he is not too busy or totally uninvolved to care about what goes on and what people think. Based on that, I think we should be a bit more patient and grateful that Phil does care enough about photography to be involved and produce worthwhile reviews. Personally, my brief few years experience in photography has confirmed that this is a great place for information that I think is worth waiting for.

On that note, thank you, Phil!

thanks for the great work!

would the site ever consider doing lens reviews? If this has been answered before sorry!
 
Once upon a time, there was a shopkeeper. In the alley beside his shop, lived a large family of mice.

One evening as the shopkeeper was closing shop, he decided to cut up a small amount of cheese and leave it in the alley

for the mice. The mice enjoyed the cheese and in turn protected the shopkeepers store so that
no other creatures could break in or inhabit the shop.

Everyone was happy in this village, until late one night. The shopkeeper had a very busy day,

and he had forgotten about the cheese. The mice were very upset. They argued hopelessly among themselves.

They came up with theories as to why there was no cheese. Some guessed there was a severe cheese

shortage. Others suggested that they had made the shopkeeper angry and this was their punishment.

Some pretended to be the shopkeepers friend and thought if they shined his shoes and bow to him when

he walked by, surely they would get some cheese.They argued on and on into the night.

The next day the shopkeeper realized he had forgotten the cheese. He wondered if perhaps being responsible for the cheese

was not a good idea. Thinking this, he again did not leave cheese. The mice became furious.
There was more arguing and fierce fighting in the alley.
The mice decided to take action.

They would no longer keep other creatures from the shop. In fact they would encourage it!

This continued, week by week. The shopkeepers shop became filled with wild creatures that were
destructive and defecated all over the shopkeepers goods.
The shopkeeper became ill and poor.

The mice in the alley who had forgotten to gather their own food, also became ill and miserable from starvation.

The moral of the story i am told, is that cheese should be freely given, and freely taken.That
and really, its just cheese.

Have you checked the EXIF data for all the Photokina Review pictures :-)

Phil seems to be a "Right" man rather than a "Right Now" man when it comes to reviews.

I suggest you leave both models in the sun for a few hours and tell me which one is cooler.

Kind regards,

See, if you give people a forum, they will debate anything at all.

Disclaimer- The Shopkeeper and the Cheese parable is a fictional work

based loosely on modern events. The characters of the shopkeeper and the mice are not living creatures and any resemblance to anyone is conincidental. Please do not try events in this parable at home, or increase or decrease your consumption of cheese based on this parable. If the reader makes connections between characters and events in this story,

he does so at his or her own risk. Finally the relationship between cheese in this parable, and digital slr's is strictly a matter of coincidence. Please do not use any form of cheese with your digital slr, especially as a cleaning agent on the delicate sensors.
 
Where did you see the EXIF data?

Embedded in the full JPEGs all of them seem to have been taken with the 400D. Looks like it was getting a full roadtest.
