    Western Digital is buying Sandisk

    I don't really care about WD, but SanDisk is the only viable alternative to Lexar in the fastest cards. I hope Sandus does not suffer.

    SSDs - State of the Product?

    Will they continue with SATA SSDs? I have two of the M.2 SSDs in one system, but more than that is a pain. Is there some way to utilize 8-10 like normal hard drives in a basic computer?

    I think it would be for PJ sports, and event work. Most were expecting closer to 24MP as the next logical progression.

    Forget the nonsense. Apertures are apertures. Focal length is focal length. The crop is just that a large portion of the image circle is not used, which reduces the angle of view.

    PC Gaming = World of Suck

    Birders/wildlife shooters want more pixels. Many are still using the 1D IV due to the low-resolution of the 1DX. AFAIK, none of the Canon lenses can manage more than 10FPS with aperture control anyway, and everyone does not shoot wide open all the time. Canon has been on a downhill roll lately...

    I did not mean your 100-400 II, but rather it was a general example of an expensive lens. And stop calling it an f/4. :D

    I want to buy a new car

    I'm not reading it that way. Perhaps the VW people are trying to make it seem that the other companies are not meeting the requirements, but that is not the case. It's one thing to say the tests don't represent the real world, but that was not the egregious part about VW. If someone is going...

    CTS is treated surgically, isn't it? I know a couple of people at work that had it. I work for large company, so insurance covers most of it.

    You really should have an annual physical, especially after 50. Otherwise you are playing Russian roulette with your health. Obviously some people lived to 70s or 80s in primitive times with little to no medicine, but most people did not. There are various chronic diseases/conditions that can...

    Yeah. The problem is that a cavity becomes another cavity, then an onlay, then a crown/root canal, then a lost tooth and implant.

    Have you joined a photo club or other group that will help you learn? I'd expect many people here to have science degrees with some physics/electronics background, so the technical side would be easier to understand and control than the artistic part.

    He already has a good Sony sensor with low noise, so the only significant improvements would be maybe a D4s or the super-sensitive 12MP A7 bodioes.

    Financial on phone companies?

    Meh. There is a lot more to viable financials than profit, such as how much money is being invested into R&D, future projects, etc. A telco is primarily a service from the consumer perspective, so you don't have too much to lose compared to buying a 1.3 million dollar piece of equipment from...

    It's a rather cheap lens, so don't expect too much. The 80-400 and D7200 are not bad for reach and practicality. Use your D610 when the subjects are closer. The 300/4 is a small/light specialty lens. I suggest buying a variety of other lenses first.

    That won't work. It makes too much sense. Instead, they will probably implant an ID chip in everybody's ass. :(

    Well, it looks like the VW. Audi, etc. are a bunch of crooks. :mad: It's beyond credibility that nobody in senior management knows anything. They should all be locked up in a room to breathe the VW exhaust fumes. :lol: There is no way in the world I'd ever buy such products.
