Can you please point me in the direction of the SD/CF deals? I could use another 8GB card, thanks.

You need to just let go... maybe have a beer and relax. Nobody nowhere is doing nothing and it certainly isn't going to ... wait, did you hear that?

Mmmm... bidirectional. Time evolution sounds sexy.

Hmm.

This might take some getting used to.

These battlefield PDAs don't appear to be anything more than a Trimble Nomad painted green:

I hope we're not paying more than the $2k sticker price.

Imagine what would be possible if we could interface with the human brain and download/upload data. I'd never have to go to spanish class again!

I'm sorry, did you say 50 meters? Where do you intend to use this that you need over 150 feet of range? I could see 50 feet... but seriously, 50 meters seems a tad unrealistic.

Wow.. I really can't spot the rolling shutter in that movie, that's amazing.

Is it wrong for me to want to carry only one device to my kid's soccer game? I want an affordable, light weight, CCD DSLR that shoots awesome photos and HD video.. what part of that don't you understand? I don't understand the silliness of people like you who want to carry a backpack full of gear and pay for several different devices that all have the same basic sensor in them.

The CCD technology exists in lower end cameras (Canon SX20 is a perfect example), just take that 720p video mode an ENABLE it in the D3000. Nikon doesn't do it because it'll cannibalize the higher end sales.

Most people are content with their kit lens so I think you're right... it won't be a problem for most people, however I wish Nikon would update a few of their lenses to AF-S. The 80-400mm is a good example of a lens that would be awesome on a D3000/D40/D60 but simply won't autofocus.
