    Will the Empire Strike Back ?

    I just hope the new D200, D90, or whatever has support for vertical grips, saw so many D70 users straining themselves in Raffles City the last few days.

    Anyone ever see a Canon in Movies??

    a little OT, but if you check out NASA's photobook, "Orbit" you'll find they shot most of their pics from the Shuttle using Hassys, some other exotic cameras which I can't remember off hand and a lot of nice pics were shot with Nikon :)

    Creative Zen Touch... comments anyone?

    I don't have a Zen Touch, but I do have a 15Gb Zen NX (my third Nomad) and I love it. The battery lasts ages, (I'd say more than 12 hours) audio quality is excellent on my sennheiser px200's. The interface, ie: the software and the positions of the control knobs and switches is a little strange...

    D70 white balancing

    Heh, I was just about to ask about this... I've been playing with PRE over the last 2 days and get pretty good results indoors, measuring off white walls, the fridge, etc. My question is this: if you use a white object, (like a piece of paper) where do you put it before measuring? Do you...

    Is VR an over-hype?

    argh, really? :bigeyes: someone explained DX and DC to me as the image circle, while being smaller, contained the same information as the image circle of a regular 35mm lens. oh well, that explains why a lot of people don't care much for DX lenses.

    Is VR an over-hype?

    Some (like me, although I haven't started to think of selling mine yet) like the 24-120vr, but are more attracted to sigma's new 18-125 DC which gives you a wider wide angle and it's DC, so you don't have the FOV crop. Also, it's a little odd because D70 owners will have the kit 18-70 and either...

    Monopod with 70-200 VR + TC2E

    Have tried my 80-200/2.8 on my manfrotto (i think, it's not near me right now) monopod, it was pretty fun, but i was sitting down. A monopod should be ok, just remember you might need to turn off VR :)

    c8080

    Hi, I tried out the C 8080 in AP the other day. (for a digital/photography newbie friend of mine who wanted something more high end than her Sony P2) As an ex-828 user, I thought to myself, No Fight! this cam has got to be *the* *best* 8MP prosumer out there, I started having thoughts of...

    Do u guys let anyone touch ur baby?

    Heh, my friend saw my D70 (the first time he'd seen one close) with a 50/1.8 mounted, initially he went, "you got a Nikon!" (the last time he'd seen me i was still using an 828) then he looked at the stubby little lens and his face looked like he was thinking, "what kinda crap $2000 camera is...

    that's 165.21.100.88 not 165.21.83.100... but do try to change it back as soon as possible, it's not polite using one ISP's dns when you're on someone else's network.

    interesting, and scary, both servers are on the same subnet, that's generally regarded as very poor network design. not on MOL, i do get an answer, but this is what i get: (note, "status: REFUSED", could be they aren't allowing non-MOL customers to use their dns) but as you say, it's already...
