ahhhhh that would explain it. I must have missed that part of the conversation. Time for a backup body though, dont ya think? Especially now that your Mr Bigtime Fancypants fly me in for the weekend to shoot for you photographer.

but in all seriousness, if you are really going to be taking this seriously you should have a backup body in case a body dies out in the field.

so uh, i didnt mean to say or imply the 1Ds3 was shoddy. its a great cam (and for being $8k, I think it should be). I just would have been happier with a IV.

Canon WTF is with them, they have 60D for $900 and just released T3i for $900. Just flood the market to flood the market. Seemed that the xxD series had a purpose.

I hope they kill the 60D and come up with a proper xxD rather than a fancy Rebel.

when the sun comes out in Vancouver, nice cars come out... thinking about going out and practicing some panning shots. I tried panning with my friend while he played hockey the other night... and didn't do too well

I was at a friends house last night and happened to notice a Rebel XTI box on the table, it seemed out of place with him, so I inquired.

He got two brand new in the box XTI's out of the dumpster at Walmart. Both of them had shutter issues, something that he and a friend were able to fix on their own. The friend who helped him moves roll off containers, and said that things like this are the norm at Walmart

really? When I worked at Norstrom (a LONG time ago), things that were defective, were written up, sent back to the vendor. Nordstrom got credit for any damaged items.... and same thing at Costco too
