John –

Post a pic of the rod, please.

On the plus side, carrying a lens like that would assure you of all the finest attention at any airport you visited.

Hey Bret –

That was why I used the term ‘statistically.’

[Zach Matthews]

Marco –

Those are really great photos, man!

[Zach Matthews]

Hey Labrati –

Good comments again, but I’d address the assumption in your statement that the D200 is a pro-sumer/backup body.

Bounce is mostly a factor of mirror slap, I suspect; these new live preview cameras may essentially hybridize the non-bouncing features of point and shoot cameras with an SLR lens.

Seriously, at a certain level, and I definitely think 10+fps qualifies, we are beginning to leave the realm of the still camera in favor of video.

24 fps is the standard rate of frames for television today.

Andrew –

Well, we could certainly do that, although I hate losing all that information.

Andrew, your name is in your signature; that is more than enough.

Guys –

Yes, I am an NPS member.

[Zach Matthews]

Cell phones!

Good point.

Labrati –

I am an insurance defense lawyer partially specializing in coverage claims.

[Zach Matthews]

Jerod –

I recognize your concerns and appreciate your willingness to use your real name.

Hey Labriti –
