I’d be interested to hear his take on limitations of the D90, like 5 minute clip length, and the diagonal lines when panning, but of course Nikon’s not going to put that stuff in a promotional video.

Where’d the talk about the cross-state internet sales taxation come from? Nothing about that in the original NR post.

and they are property of Tektronics (the company for which he worked), so, I would guess that Ken himself doesn’t see any money from those.

And I must say, the number of changes to that site cannot possibly take 40 hours a week. More like 5 if I had to guess.

or AT LEAST send it back for me and get it fixed through nikon.

But it’s not like in other country where Nikon established themselves locally, being part of or subsidiary of Nikon Corp…

But Niks Thailand is a family-owned business who registered this name for more than 20 years and asked Nikon to be the sole distributor for the NIKON products… They dont just sell only Nikon, but Mamiya, Lexar, etc…

For easier understanding, just think of them like B&H or Adorama, but they just named themselved Niks Thailand…

That camera was a “last gasp” for the line of Nikon rangefinders, being the last rangefinder (aside from the “Olympic” model and special anniversary editions) manufactured. It was manufactured from April 1960 and was discontinued a year later. The Nikon F was released in June of 1959.

New York already passed this law and Amazon now collects sales tax for New York because they accept links from sites in New York, even though Amazon itself has no physical business presence in New York. I originally thought that the sales tax would only apply if you linked from a New York based site, but even when ordering from Amazon directly, they now charge sales tax in New York. Amazon did not end their affiliate program to get around the sales tax issue and neither will anyone else.

While no one likes paying more money, the fact is that states were getting screwed on internet sales. It also evens the playing field between an Amazon and a Barnes & Noble.com and between an online store and a physical store, so in the long run, it’s probably the best thing to do and should probably be done nationwide. Sales tax was always based on where the item was shipped from, but it probably should be based (and this law in effect does that) on where it is shipped to.

Ken is being paranoid. This isn’t going to affect him at all. Companies are still going to have online ads and he’s still going to get paid for the clicks.
