“The Nikon, though, records in the crappy motion JPEG format. The 500D pops out .mov files in the H.264 codec. ”

I would argue that .mov is equally crappy. Why pay Apple for the “privilige” (and pass on the cost of the license to the customer) when they could have used an open-source container as well as an open-source codec (.ogg or something, idunno).

There’s nothing like my old f100 in the current Nikon line. That thing was weatherproof! I’m afraid to get my d300 too wet because there’s the potential it’ll zap me in the face.

Please Nikon, when you get around to the d700x (or whatever you call the 24mp d700) dump the flash!

I really don’t mind registering. But that may also decrease the amount of people posting. And… someone who might really kwnow something new won’t just register to post it. (I wonder if that ever happened: someone who knew a secret, posting it? But at least there have been many posts with information, not necessarily a leack, from anonymous)

And registration doesn’t guarantee good posts either, there are too much crazy people around, although may reduce the quantity of bad posters.

I for one am sad and glad to see a bunch of good offerings from Canon (first the 5DM2 and now this), sad because I don’t shoot Canon, but glad b/c it puts the pressure on Nikon to hurry up and release a D400 or D700x already!
