The decryption itself doesn’t mean much at that point, but it may offer some neat “adjustments” in the future.

Three possible scenarios for the Nikon D800 and other rumblings

I basically see three scenarios for what is currently going on with the D800: The D800 is really delayed because of the floods.

I really don’t have any control over those RSS solutions. This blog’s RSS feed is working and has not been changed for years. My suggestion is to just use […]
