Apparently, someone is upset about the new D3x and the price.
A lot of people are cancelling their D3x preorder when they heard the price. Everybody think it's overpriced for 2 reasons:
  • It's the same body as the D3 (D3 sells for 3K less)
  • It's the same sensor (or very similar) to the Sony A900 (which sells for 5K less...)
Even die hard Nikonians like Thom Hogan and Ken Rockwell are protesting.

Classic.

I want to see the movie, now. ;-)
Great parody, one of the best using this scene. I love the bit about "He only shoots Jpeg".

The movie itself, by the way, is called "Downfall" ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0363163/ ) and is excellent. After all, this clip works so well in large part because of the strong acting throughout the scene. If you have the opportunity, do see it.

It's a good parody but a little overused. This particular clip of the film has been used numerous times for all kind of parodies. Now Hitler gets his deserved place as a clown (a sinister clown though) beside Charlie Chaplin ... :)

Nikon has enjoyed the best of times, and now if they can drive themselves into bankruptcy, their Fat Cat executives can take advantage of the bailout and get some gigantic bonus cash. You don't even have to be an American company, we are soon to bail out the entire world...with money we have borrowed from China. No kidding......

I love the part about Stalin still using film.
 
Hilarious.
I think the D3x ends any speculation that future FF cameras will have
nice big pixels in a 10-12MP sensor.....
Not only that but it was demoralizing for those who think FF will be cheap in the near future... it doesn't seem Nikon see it that way.

Hi Jan,
The movie itself, by the way, is called "Downfall" (
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0363163/ ) and is excellent. After all,
this clip works so well in large part because of the strong acting
throughout the scene. If you have the opportunity, do see it.
It is really good movie and thought it looked familiar as I had seen
it in the cinema :) I wonder what Bruno Ganz would think if he saw
these parodies ?

Cheers,

Jack
