Best selling vehicles in the states:  Ford F150, Chevy Silverado, Ram trucks, and finally in 4th place, the Toyota Rav 4. Having said that, I drive a Subaru.  At least in the states, 'wiping the ...

I agree with Tom.  This is going to be a terrific niche camera with very good image quality that will more than likely better any FF camera.  However.... ....it has its limitations.  I'd love to ...

You're too kind!  Ft. Whyte is an oasis in Winnipeg.  The background you see is a small swamp that's frozen over and to the right is a big birch forest.  Since it's a conservation area, the deer ...

Thank you!  The place is a privately owned conservatory with the land donated by a big concrete company.  The staff does a lot of hands on education for the community, so I understand the hordes.  ...

I finally braved the cold weather here and got to try out my newly acquired tripod/monopod foot for my 100-400.  I lasted about 90 minutes or so of sitting still waiting for wildlife to pass by.  ...

340 tri-power, 4 speed, lime green?  :-) David

Marketing and sales have input, but the engineers don't take their orders from Marketing and Sales...at least in the companies that I was associated with.  It takes a lot of input from a lot of ...

You get my vote for best reply of the week!! David

Which business school did you go to?  Engineers take their orders from Marketing/Sales?  Okay.... David

It's so that I can brag about the fact that I have more MP than you or just about anyone else in the camera world.  It has nothing to do with taking pictures.  :rolleyes: Why so apoplectic about a ...

A Toyota Camry is practical.  A 27" TV is practical.  Real world....you don't need a Lexus, but Toyota builds them.  You don't need a 55" TV, but LG builds them.  Heck, maybe somebody that has the ...

My advice is to always buy the best that you can afford.  If the R is in your budget, then get it.  It's a better camera in many ways and unless you're going to turn professional, it will serve ...

I don't know if I'd go as far as 'most exciting', but if it was in my budget, I'd be in line for a preorder.  I like it's size, much like a D5 or a 1Dx.  The look is inconsequential.  The Fuji MF ...

And it's wise that you live by your rules. My rule says to buy the best you can afford. Doesn't make your rule or my rule right or wrong.

Funny thing...I don't give a rat's behind if I'm the only one that doesn't like Sony's in hand feel.  I won't own a Sony camera simply because it feels lousy in MY hand. This person has spoken. David

If it's in the budget, who cares? Maybe a person wants to shoot picture of his cat with a really neat camera and has the money to afford it. Wasted? On who? I hope Fuji sells a ton of them. I...

You'll not get an argument from me! :-) David

Various reasons as already posted.  If you do post images, it's well advised to have a thick skin.  You may post your best shots and they may be terrific, but there will always be negative words.  ...

Sony could take the best pictures ever and I don't do video, but it wouldn't matter since the Sony is like holding something from the shelves of Toys R Us.  Deal breaker.  I'll stick with Canon or ...

if it's in the budget, why not?  You might find that the Sony gives you some sort of latitude that a phone can't. David
