In fact, I have to use (and pay for) a 3rd party codec (ArdFry) to preview Nikon NEF images in windows expolorer which should come from the camera vendor in the first place and for free. By the time Windows 7 will be released 64 bit support will not be a simple nice-to-have feature but a must-have feature. Actually, it is a must-have feature already now that Nikon still fails to deliver.

You can see that they still have room to add new tutorials and add a new one every couple of months.

I just spoke with Vistek, McBain, and Don's Photo in Edmonton and all of them assured me that as of Feb. 1 prices will go up between 10%-15% on lens and bodies. Not really a surprise with prices increases everywhere else in the world but still a bit disappointing as I was going to hold off on a 70-200 for a few months and see if a new model was released. My fiance is going to kill me when she finds out I bought a new lens :) Yeah prices are definitely going up in Canada…again.

Maybe Nikon talked about the same price increase and some resellers raised their prices in advance.

Two large photo retailers in Edmonton (Vistek & McBain) informed me that prices have already increased and gave me a few examples. I'm calling them right now to see if they've heard anything.

Not an ignorant question...I run XP64 meself and I'm happy CS4 seems to be use over 4gb of ram, but why does your d90 need to? The article describes gimmicky features that I don't think will benefit from access to 16gb of ram. Why's 64bit important in this case? What do you do that needs a 64-bit version?

The first one was supposed to be because of the Canadian$ vs the US$, now again for teh oerall drop of BOTH currencies vs. the Yen? This is the way I understood it from my dealer (Henry's)???

I understand Nikon said it was due to their costs to make the lenses, but wouldn't there be similar impact to Canon, Sigma, Tamron, Sony, etc.?

I've been tossing around the idea of getting a super zoom for casual/travel shooting. I just hope it's sharp enough. I’m definitely interested in the new Sigma lens.

The first messages from retailers across the country first said mid-December, then it was January 1st, then it was mid-January, now it's February. Prices have indeed gone up, but not to the extent that most retailers were suggesting. Perhaps it would've merely delayed the inevitable, but this price-increase scare worked on me in the early-goings. canadian retailers really milked the price increase trend.
