Heard the D300 stocks will be in stores at Launching date ie 20 Nov. Also plentiful of stocks, but not sure whether enough to fuel the BBB virus here.

what about news of D3?

this one more harmful to the wallet.

In my experience, baht is worse... "Wah... convert to Sing dollars so cheeeaaap!!! BUY! BUY! BUY!"... end up buying a lot of things that normally we wouldn't even think of buying.

Wow! I'm pleased to see that there are people in Clubsnap that are also critical of Mr Rockwell! I must admit that though I hate his 'my way or the highway' opinions, his articles are rather fun to read for laughs.

This is probably his worst and most nonsensical article: http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/digital-killed-my-tripod.htm

While he tends to emphasize a lot on his opinions, I think there's always some truth to what he says. And the article about the tripod is no exception, the fact is that with the noise filtering you get these days on nikons, you can shoot handheld at night in the city. I tried, and it gives plenty of good pictures. Of course it doesn't mean tripods are dead, but they are definitely less essential than they used to be.
Sometimes it's important to look beyond numbers and company pr, and this guy does it quite well. He's been shooting for decades on so many cameras and lenses, we would be fools to dismiss his entire experience and conclusions as worthless just because his way of speaking/writing can be a little bit irritating sometimes.

That said of course, it's up to each of us to decide for ourselves what we want to read or not, but it is unfair to line up agressive comments about his website and make hatred for him enter the domain of political correctness and socially accepted wrongs.

Nothing wrong about his reviews but then it needs to be taken with the Dead Sea.

I salute mr.Rockwell....he is one of those looking at things at different angle with practical reason....unlike other yes man who tents to give one sided opinion.....but then as a reader...we have to use common sense lah...be selective and don't just swallow everything people feed.....One good example is his comment on the tripod....I kind of agree because althought I have a tripod, I never bring it along in all my trips....I just couldn't justify the effort to walk with the extra 2~3kg metal pole on top of the already heavy DSLR that I am holding :lovegrin: KRW = can "ROCK" well:thumbsup:
