In our industry we call it a, "Stills camera"!

From what I'm hearing the Gigabit Ethernet port doesn't meet specification and has been knocked back by the FCC. Interesting development!

Looks like Canon has been rummaging through Sony's R&D rubbish bins again!

@Alexvideoclip Yes, there is a slight advantage of sharpness if you look closely, but without the filter coatings, the trade off's could be an issue, especially with video at those focal lengths.

It's just interesting what peoples expectations are with the D800e, considering it's a job specific ...

Hi Matt, it's the same reason why I bought two D700 bodies rather than one D3s body. It comes down two sheer economics. Yes, the D3s offers higher shutter counts and quality build, but essentially its the same light box.

The D800 is a different beast compared to the D3x and resolving this much re...

Agreed, this thing is going to be a stinker in low light, I can't believe 36 @#$%&*% MP!

The D700 will become a sort after body, that's a given! I think Nikon want to make a gap between low light performers, the D4 and prosumer body D800. They won't make the same mistake they made with the D700 ...

@onlineahmeds If I could bud in here, the 70-200 2.8 VR2 is the sharpest 70-200mm on the planet. Consistent edge to edge tack sharp 0.30 cycles per pixel right through the focal range. Something not even the excitable white lens brigade can boast about!

Also if there's one must have lens in your...

Oh, and what was the total national deficit last week? Oh! that's right, $227,000,000,000. We have surpassed the $1/4 trillion. If you are an average income earner with a mortgage and a family to feed, I would start voting conservatively.

Thankfully, the people in Queensland have woken up, and ar...

Ahhh! Film loading competitions, they were the good old day's.

@rococonroll Stop being an arse!

Yes I know that Labor won more seats than the Liberal party, and yes Labor had slightly more primary votes, this is not unusual!

My initial comments are directly related to the end result. And that is, two party preferred, the coalition won by a healthy majority...

Well, you were all warned a year ago. Now it's here, passed through the lower house and will go through the upper house early next year. If you are a superannuant and exposed to the 16 large mining companies, I suggest you contact your financial institution and re-evaluate your position.

Look at ...

I think we will see a price rise of the D3s as stock levels dry up. So if you are contemplating buying a D3s, you can't go wrong at this time!

@hematael Yes, she does have that effect on people!

@grenangle You obviously don't live in QLD!

Quick question, what white background material are you using? Vinyl or heavy canvas?

Did George commission an official video for this concert at Albert Hall?

Lots of uninformed comments right here!

Incorrect, Joyce does not need approval from share holders to ground fleet, only the sitting board.

There's no such thing as long term job security any more.

Also, nothing like the unions telling your customers not to fly with you, and then threatening to ...

Gillard had 3 hours notice that Joyce was going to ground the fleet.

Which means Gillard had 3 hours to invoke section 431 under the fair work ACT 2009, which would have stopped Joyce from going ahead. The very legislation she wrote when she was minister. But no no, to busy hobnobbing with Rudd a...

@colindominy You do realize that Gillard had 3 hours notice that Joyce was going to ground the fleet.

Gillard had 3 hours to invoke section 431 under the fair work ACT 2009, which would have stopped Joyce from going ahead. The very legislation she wrote when she was minister.

But she doesn't wan...

If QANTAS workers are the best paid in the aviation industry to date, why would you put at risk your own future employment prospects.

The current fiscal model QANTAS operates under at present is unsustainable and we are seeing the start of the end of QANTAS as we know it.

I personally don't like ...

I wish Dave would seriously consider acting, he would be a complete natural. Love it!

@kojak1969 Your attitude is an unfortunate by product of the digital age, and this youtube 5 min tutorial mentality, that makes you a professional overnight. Can I suggest you learn proper work flow methods and ethics.

As a professional photographer you owe it to your client that a portion of yo...

As Valiant Thor once said Humans that reside on this blue planet simply do not have the mental capacity to deal with disclosure.

Therefore any evidence of past activity would be a challenge to deal with in regard to objects that can not be explained through reasonable human theorem.

Make of that ...

@australianews Why do you set up these TROLL sites?

All your comments are devoid of any fact and all fanciful lunacy!!!

No, they only locked out the propaganda left arm of the Labor party, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, ABC TV.

Australian debt to GDP, which includes all debt owed to the rest of the world by all Australians and government is $1.1 trillion, about 95% of GDP.

We are about to head down the same road as the USA.

Lucky we have china to keep our head above water, but if China slows down we are in deep shit. ...

@MerryAviaries Can I ask you one final question, and I'm not pulling any punches here!

For you, what is the overwhelming piece of evidence that global warming exists, other than normal cyclical climate fluctuations and temperature variations?

The reason I ask is it's interesting to know where peo...

@Nyaliva I digress, the main issue at hand, which for some reason seems to elude most Labor voters, is that you need to live within your means.

Every time a Labor government, state or federal, comes to power they always rack up billions in debt.

Here's one for all you Labor voters, at present the...
