That rubber seal is pretty chewed on mine now too but it can still be dunked.

You definitely don’t want to submerge the zipper for an extended amount of time like that but it’ll hold water out fine during a quick dunk.

[Carter Simcoe]

hopefully you’ve got a stockpile.

Yea Shannon Nikon sensors are Sony,, at least for now anyway.

Well Sony has been manufacturing at least some of them but Nikon still designed them.

For what its worth, I still have a 2 notebook PCs, one 2.5 years old and one over 4 years old, that are still going strong.  The only reason I have purchased new systems is because upgrades on notebooks are limited to memory only and I like to have the latest and greatest so that I may comfortably run the latest and greatest.    

I really did look into the Macbook pro, and I really was disheartened by the price.  Apple certainly does not cater to that ‘carefree lifestyle’ and image that they are trying to sell with their marketing.  :'(  

EDIT:  And, if you really are anti-Microsoft, you can very easily run a Linux OS on any PC.  Everything that you are running on Windows can very easily be run through emulation  if it is not available for Linux.  It may require you to have some technical know-how, however.  

Mike, a key component of the ‘carefree lifestyle’ is an outrageous trust fund.

i’m still angered by carrying a framepack full of film to africa in ’98

yeah, though break there..

I use a 12-24 and a 24-85 and I really like that kit for a DX format camera.

[Carter Simcoe]

Mark, I think that’s a fair deal and a good camera.  I don’t think you’ll get much use out of the 55-200 for fishing photography though.  

This is a good deal too with free shipping:

Scott, I’ve actually noticed the opposite.  I’ve tried several models of NiMH rechargeable batteries all ranging from 2500 to 2700 mah and they’ve all recycled slower than regular throw away batteries, they don’t last near as long before needing to be charged either.  I still use the rechargeables in the flash when I’m shooting something around the house and I’m religious about using them in all the remote controls and other things I’ve got at home but I’ve gone back to throw away Duracell batteries (the “Lithium” ones) for the flashes whenever I’m out somewhere.  Horrible for the environment I know (I do dispose of them properly though) but they are just more reliable.  The rechargeables won’t hold their charge either, when they sit unused they drain.
