It would open the door to way more warranty repairs, and stats like that do drive many decision at corporations. It's amazing we get stuff as good as we do with all the corporate bullshit.

I wonder if the F6 has a whole table for calibrating individual lenses like the digital bodies have...? The F6 only focuses as well as my d2x, which was pretty good, but not anything like my d300/d700. The newer cams are MUCH better in low light. They may not have the critical focus you think they did.

If Amazon changes the price after that, it will not be updated in the price watch section till the next day. Also, very often retailers do the "add to cart to see price" trick - the software I use cannot do that, it just captures the price from the main product page and it does not take in consideration any discounts, rebates, etc. Bred, the software I use gets the prices automatically, once a day.

So with my optimistic thinking there might be an announcement soon and the camera to be released in early May :) I’m hoping that they do like canon did with the 500/550D, i.e. announce before the offer expires and have the successor released when it expires.

Yet another article to highlight that fact. I found this site through PB, but other than that, that site has been useless. A lens with a 1.8 aperture needs a precision AF system calbrated to far tighter tolerances than Nikon's motor free bodies and much more precise than the majority of the Canon line. Otherwise manual focus is better than the AF would be with a lens like that. Except with live view, which is available on some of the bodies now anyway. The current lack of a replacement for the 50/1.8 in Nikon's current line up makes sense and will probably not continue to be a priority for these reasons. The 50/1.8 exists. If you want that focal length and aperture, buy it. The difference in size between a d90 and the d40/60/3000/5000 is negligible. Nikon makes the lens and makes cameras that focus it. If you want a fast aperture lens on a body without an AF motor, buy the superior 50/1.4. If you want AF with with a 50/1.8 and the cheapest possible body, but a d50. Otherwise quit yer whinin and make pictures with what you can today. That Eric at Photography Bay is just clueless. Yet another article to highlight that fact.

Its likely a scam; I doubt it actually works. In case you guys didn’t notice, they superimposed the image of that dog and the flowers in front of the camera.
