Mutt, that was too funny. Did you jump from Canon to Nikon after a similar rant after the D300/D3 were released? Complaining about the crappy noise and low megapixels of your 30D? I’m not sure if you truly had a pickle up you a$$ or you were summarizing all the gear head comments of those who think an 18 month old camera is old news.

Admin, people like that only discredit themselves, don’t worry about removing their posts. Remember too that there are far more people who are appreciative of your efforts at diggin up anything about potential Nikon gear. But for every 1 positive comment, you’re likely to get 10 negative. People like to rant more than rave. Keep it up!

Yes, I can do something like that. This was the idea behind the weekly Nikon news/links posts. Thanks.

ADMIN – How about – once in a month put the most crapy, ridiculous and improbable rumors from the last month (not posted – the ones you probably put to trash after reading ;] ). So we could all have a bit of fun )))

What do you say?

Yes, you are right – just some days are worse than others and yesterday was bad.

So what do you want – quality or quantity? I have nothing to report, it has been very quiet lately. I do not make up those rumors – when there is nothing to report, I stay low.

The BigFreeze rig was very cool. But it appears that a lot of people don’t understand what is really happening. This is not an attempt to make great bullet-time shots, this is a marketing demonstration of their capabilities to capture in near-real-time. They didn’t create it just for this event, they have several rigs located in different markets around the world. Their goal was to show off to their customer, and to do that they need everyone to see it. Thus the tent is a bad idea. They want all the Hollywood folks to have a chance to step into the ring, then see themselves in 360. Darn smart marketing.

Admin – thanks for showing this.

Very sad about the Pocket Wizard news. It appears that all the problems related to getting the stuff to work with Canon sucked all the engineering resources. But by the time the Nikon stuff is out, we might have a much better product. Sucks for the Canon users to have paid for the early versions with so many problems.

>> Holy crap Nikon! I’m loosing business because you can’t get your head out of your ass and make a !@#$ing camera already.

I guess you being a whiny jerk has no impact on your business.

Don’t remove the comments section just because of that comment he wrote! Reading the discussion in the comments section of each blog entry makes this site great.

While I understand how you feel, and I had run a site that had a commenting feature for a while… People will always post things that you don’t like. But, part of the beauty of this rumors site is the commenting section. I’m sure Nikon reads these boards. I’m glad that I can post here and let them know I want a D400 (you hear that Nikon? a 14-16 MP D300 with a better ISO ability). But, if you go to a larger site, they usually do keep their comments. They’re not removed, as users will start to question the legitimacy/fairness of the contributors.

Anyway, keep up the good work. This site is good. This post–maybe the content was kind of dumb, but when Nikon isn’t putting anything out, I hardly see how that’s your fault. There are always going to be people out there who purposely try to bring you down. Don’t worry about it.

I will say that we all have been waiting for the nextgen D300 for a very long time….and given the specs for the recent canon and sony offerings….it will be difficult for Nikon to wow people. My perception was that Nikon had moved ahead of its competitors with models like the D3, D700 and D3x… However, the progress of canon and Sony plus the apparent delays of Nikon to react with new products leads me to believe that the Nikon egde may be shrinking.

The problem is that the forum software is not as mature as the blog software and it will require everyone to register in order to comment (I can enforce that on the blog as well).
I am a one man show and NR has thousands of readers. Every single post/word is questioned/evaluated by many people from around the world. There is no easy way to solve this issue and make everyone happy. Maybe juts a more strict comments approval/filtering would do just fine. I dare you to go to any other popular blog and post this type of comments – it will get removed instantaneously, so why should NR be different?

whoops, change “blog” to “forum”, in the last sentence

I was about to protest, then remembered the forum… perhaps that’s not a bad idea, stops obvious trolls, like the guy above from wreaking havoc. If you do that I would recommend creating a discussion of each post in the blog.

I am thinking of removing the comments all together – it will be a “read only” blog. This is just waist of bandwidth.

OMFG where the hell is my D300s??? I need video now. Or else I’m going to crap my pants and go to Canon. I hate Nikon. They never make exactly what I want them to, or if they do they ask ridiculous prices. Like they’re 70-200 is almost $2000. Sigma makes one for like $700. What the hell Nikon?!?! I though you were supposed to be a competitive optics firm. And don’t even get me started on how the Nikon software for controlling their cameras has to be bought separately. They charge like $200!!!! that’s something that every other manufacturer gives you for free!!! WTF!?! Also all the third party one’s suck, since OS X crashes with any non-proprietary software. FML!!! How the hell am I supposed to make a living without being able to compete with my colleagues on every technological level?! My biggest competition just bought a 5D2, and now everyone’s going to him to get video of their product or wedding. Holy crap Nikon! I’m loosing business because you can’t get your head out of your ass and make a !@#$ing camera already. It would take like 3 seconds!!! just add the video coding from the D90 into the D300, and give it a bigger buffer. BAM!!! done, I should be a !@#$ing over payed engineer.

To hell with this crap!

Anyone want a D300 and 12-24 f/4DX with a 16-85 DX and a 85 f/1.8?
I’m done with this crap.

Also Admin, you should probably turn down the suck with your patent searching, sicne so far you’ve only found technology from the early 2000′s, and you start these epic long threads bout the next new lens that doesn’t even exist. Especially since if you scan through the patent you come to the part where it tells you what fricking focal length and aperture it is…
