    I suppose one should check the policy for frame limits. I always rent cars with unlimited mileage for example. Earlier this year we put on 2700 miles in 8 days. The guy looked at the odometer and then the paper and his device a couple of times. :D

    I want to buy a new car

    I looked at leasing, but it seems like the costs are about equal to a six year period more or less. It doesn't work for me driving 6000 miles per year, but I know some people with money like to get a new car every 3 years without any hassles of sales. I' rather drive the car 10 years and then...

    I suggest a rental if a huge number of frames are expected. 15k in 8 days is about normal for still photos in some locations.

    The ratings are not particularly accurate. Most shutters fail far sooner. Some last longer.

    Yeah, that is a bit sad. Does almost everything you watch involve fantasy and people in tights or funky uniforms? No romantic films or dramas?

    Oh, their sales have declined dramatically. :( The problem is that Nikon has also lost sales. Although the relatively new class of FF MILC and proliferation of other MILC have increased, the overall sales or interchangeable lens cameras will continue to drop. The unwashed masses just want...

    I want to buy a new car

    The S scores 99 and the P85D is 100. The latter is nosier and has a worse ride though, but has the AWD. I'm not sure how they get 100 or more with the Controls and display being worse than average due to the giant iPAD needed to do anything. Anyway there is no economic value to being battery...

    I've been using Nikon for 39 years. Although I have purchased less than 10 Nikon DSLR bodies, I do have experience with a number of the Sony sensors both in Nikon and Sony bodies. I have also owned 16+ Canon DLSRs. It may not be what you want to hear, but in the APS-C sensors the noise levels...

    Amateur and youth sports is difficult even for photographers, much less the soccer moms that have seen a few too many commercials with somebody capturing frame-filling, peak action with a cheapo camera and lens. For starters, I'd pick the latest Nikon 5xxx series body and a 70-300 lens in...

    I hope they can make the hybridization package inexpensive enough to have in better, larger cars without making them too expensive. I wonder about that 2016 model article. Are the writers professional engineers or meth heads?

    Oh, I forget all those different kinds of the electric hybridized. According to documentation, that is the same basic car as the Cruser.

    How do you think I feel with these obsolete lenses? :( Three 100-400 IS, 500/4 IS, two 24-70/2.8 (first version), 16-35/2.8, 300/4, 300/2.8 IS, and 400/4 DO.

    The new Canon 35/1.4 II is very interesting. It looks like they have a new means of reducing LoCA to make fast lenses that are APO. We'll have to see if they update the old 135/2 , 85.1.2 II, etc. There is some Japanese info here too.

    I paid about $150 a few years ago for more hours than I needed, so that seems right. I can also see not wanting internet due to concerns that people from work may be inclined to contact him.

    I'm trying to use the ad block plus app on the new LG phone, but in the configuration it keeps asking about the WIFI. I don't ever want to use the WIFI on this phone except on travel if no service is available. Can this app block ads from the normal phone usage or is there something else I can...

    98SE setup BSOD?

    IIRC, BISO support for hardware and OS was always a problem. I was using 784MB of RAM in 1999, when many computers only had 128-256. I was so glad to move from 98 to 2000 around 2001. 9x was just so ugly, especially the USB drivers, etc. :hurl:
