I'm not sure precisely how it works on canon, but on the d90 you can set it to lock AE, AF, both, or a few other options.

Sensor's nothing to do with it... autofocus happens way before sensor even knows it's going to be taking a photo. It's just a compromise they knowingly made when designing their autofocus system.

Quite common on cheap shared hosting, having a ton of websites per machine. you can even have multiple machines hiding behind a single IP. This is pretty much business as usual, and normally only big sites have a dedicated IP address.

Something cheap (50mm, 70-300mm) to someone trustworthy, sure. Any of my expensive stuff, not to anyone, not a single snowflake's chance in hell (well maybe with a 100% RRP deposit :D )

Yup, impressive detail from extreme crops, for sure.

For now, with there still being more backorders than stock, that's not an issue. If anything, it's possibly currently doing exactly that - more cost concious people will be put off buying until the price drops back down to £2399, and limited stock will go to people where money is less of an...

So, I just spent a few hours outdoors with my D800, and figured I'd do some "worst case scenario" testing. Here's 3 of them for anyone who happens to be interested. "Oh no, I have to cover the bike race, and all I have is my 24-70!" From Full Size to 1:1 Crop (in the spirit of this, I'll...

Full link for when it disappears off the front page: http://nikonrumors.com/2012/03/26/nikon-af-s-dx-nikkor-18-300mm-f3-5-5-6g-ed-vr-lens-leaks-in-europe.aspx/ MTF charts look darn impressive for a "kit" lens of this kind of zoom range. If the price isn't too high, this could replace my...

I got an apology email at the weekend, despite that I think my order never changed much from despatching on 26th. Didn't really expect it this month at least, so pleasantly surprised to get a camera yesyerday... which should be missing its delivery right around now. Might have to take a trip to...

14th Feb, £2399.:thumbs: Of course, I can't be at home or get to the citylink depot this week so won't actually see it until next week...

Well I guess Amazon got a load of stock in today, since mine was just despatched.

Demand is currently way over the level of supply, so they could probably get away with doubling the price without hurting sales short term.

The fact that once initial demand is fulfilled within the next 2-3 months and you will be able to pick one up off a shelf the price will go back down to the "pre-error" price will be just a coincidence of course. Still, if you can't produce enough to match demand and know that they'll still...

Unless your current camera precisely matches the required pixel dimensions of your current (print size x dpi / web size / whatever) with a 1-to-1 mapping, I don't see how that is any different to whatever camera you are currently using. Most people resample from camera to output, whether they...

People who keep on about doing pixel level comparisons just confuse me. I don't know about them, but I print and view images not pixels. I like showing off my best photos, but rarely if ever have I shown someone a pixel and said "this is my favourite pixel, a classic example of RGB(201,56,123)...
