I'm a little confused Lunar? Why would Nikon make their new 70-200 a cine lens? Or cine-like? They simply need to "copy" the Canon version. 1) Electronic aperture, and 2) no focus breathing, and 3) Same or better IQ as the Canon lens. Canon has had an electronic aperture (EF mount) for...

The current G-version is 8+ years old so Nikon needs to release a newer E-version just to get some current sales. Nikon needs all the financial help they can get. The E-version will finally get an electronic aperture, and hopefully fix the severe focus breathing of the current version. With...

I haven't even run WindowsUpdate in the last 4-5 months as I don't want Win10 forced upon me. Irrational fear perhaps, but I just don't want to deal with it. I guess I should just get a list of Win10 KB updates I shouldn't install and just manually uncheck those updates. I don't have a lot of...

Finally some interesting rumors regarding Nikon.

Thanks. Subtract the dumb questions, complaining and whining and it's closer to 50 actual posts. ;) They better be pretty damn good for their $10k price tag. Aaaaaaaaaaaand, they are out of stock at B&H. I wonder why? I wonder what they are going to do with 48, 400/2.8 IS II lenses after...

Shows in stock at: B&H. Adorama. Amazon. Perhaps just small initial shipments were sent out and more are delayed?

Good info. Thanks.

Probably very good advice. I was mostly just toying with the idea of a 4k TV and was wondering what was up. Thanks.

I would think Canon needs an "under $3xxx" full frame camera to compete with Nikon and various MILCs.

Can you give a brief description and/or procedure to "lock down" you credit? Much thanks.

/sigh The Canon 6D2 rumors have already started. Hoping for the Nikon D8xx rumors to start. Not that I can afford or justify an upgrade to such a camera. The updated Nikkor 70-200 f/2.8 VR II wasn't announced at Photokina 2016. I'd like to see a 12-24mm Nikkor f/4 as well.

THXs for link. Looking at UHD TVs. I already have a 4k monitor I'm happy with.

Am I the only one left in the "stone age" on Win7?

Any interesting updates regard 4k TVs and UHD players? Thanks.

You beat me to it Lunar. I was going to post that link earlier today. Yeah, that sure is a funky 24mm f/14 macro lens. Yes, f/14 NOT f/1.4. I wonder what the IQ will be with such a tiny piece of glass on the front of that lens. Could have interesting applications if IQ is decent and cost is...

Astigmatism does seem a bit high. Not a whole lot of 11mm full-frame lenses to compare it to but it seems to have less distortion than the 11-24mm Canon. But of course the Canon is a zoom, and nearly perfect after 14mm. If this lens was $1200 (refurb 14-24) I'd jump on it. But I'd rather...

Another interesting ultra-wide lens.

If Nikon updates their 14-24mm lens even wider than Canon's 11-24, say 10-24mm --and-- maintains the f/2.8 aperture of the current 14-24mm lens it will be 1) Friggen HUGE and 2) cost $3k+ I think the pre-order price of the Sigma 12-24 f/4 ART lens is $1600. If it's sharper and overall better...

^^^ <cough> didn't I mention the small buffer of the 5D4 <cough> Thanks for the report on the new Canon Lunar. Seems the 5D4 is on-par with the Nikon D810 now, especially with the boosted DR. A bit lower res but a bit faster. Perfect for wedding shooters. Some interesting lenses from Sigma...

Weird. If I'm the only one with the missing elements it's probably on my end. Not a concern. I'd just like the "flat awesome" text font on the DEFAULT style with standard storageforum DK-Blue, Blue, Li-Blue, black-on-white colors and I'd be happy. Thanks again for getting the new BBS...

^^^ Exactly. Thanks mubs. I was just going to post the same pics.

The main page: https://www.qikl.us/index.php upper right corner. Win7 Pro, Firefox 48, regular session, not private or incognito mode. Some more missing "buttons." EDIT: Default style working OK, must be missing or mis-configured elements in the different styles. EDIT2: I actually...

Obviously colors are number 600 on the list of things you need to make sure are working perfectly first. Dark-blue, Medium-blue, Light-blue and Black text on white background are the only colors we need. ;)

Missing elements? I enabled all scripts and reloaded page. Edit: Ghostery not blocking anything. Nothing to block. :) and disabled ABP as well. Still missing elements?

I just noticed the facebook and twitter javascripts, are those needed for mobile logins? Or needed at all? I'll just noscript them off anyways so no biggie. New site has qikl.us script that I'd enable if needed. Old site didn't have a script save for the google analytics one?

OK see where to change the style now. I like the "Flat Awesome" fonts. Of course the logo and "bars" need to be changed to the StorageForum blue instead of red. ;)

This is especially true on a Z77 chipset motherboard with only two 6 Gbit SATA ports.

I'm very satisfied with the current BBS software, its up-time and performance. Thanks again for your work on the site and it's upkeep. I don't view site via a mobile device so I don't require a change. But if any change(s) helps you more easily administer the site go for it. Really do not...

I took the day off work. Arrrrrr!!!!!!

Well this is encouraging. Scroll half way down page. Looks like the DR of the 5D4 has improved over a stop-n-a-half at ISO 100.

Lensrentals’ Canon 5D Mk IV Teardown. Quote from article; "From underneath, it looks pretty much like every other top assembly, and we’ve learned from long, painful experience not to take these apart unless we absolutely need to." If even the experts at lensrentals don't like to take apart...

When I played Half-Life single player mods 1000 years ago there were a few fairly scary mods that people had created. But yeah, not a whole lot of options out there.

Well this is interesting and welcomed. Tamron's updated, 150-600mm f/5-6.3 (G2) includes a tripod collar that is Arca-Swiss compatible. Revolutionary!!! Do the Canon big white's or Nikon's big blacks have A-S collars?!? Does Canikon not include A-S collars on their big teles because buyers...

My low funds preclude me from upgrading my D610 anytime is the near future. Perhaps in 2017/18 I'll pickup the camera that replaces the D810.

If true, this is some bad news for Nikon :(

- "ridiculously cheap." - "good Mexican" food. - "kind of a treat." :scratch: Why aren't you going there more often? Seriously?

I think the hype and expectations for the 5D4 have left quite a few people disappointed. Including this guy.

Isn't the buffer of the mark iii 15-18 RAWs (give or take depending on the CF card)??? So the mark iv is only a tiny bit better? Seems the buffer was increased just enough to keep up with the jump from 6 to 7 fps. You'd think Canon would increase the buffer more than 20% over a 4 yo camera...

Possibly horrible specs for 5D4. If they turn out to be true. - anti-alias filter. - SD slot is UHS-1 only. - 21 frame buffer when shooting RAW to CF slot. - 19 frame buffer when shooting RAW to SD slot. - 7 frame buffer when shooting dual pixel RAW (possibly interesting feature). Bump the...

Perhaps some sort of "fraud alert" from the bank and they killed the transaction.

Rumored price for the 5D4 will be $3499 USD | $4299 CAD | €3700 EUR. Edit: Now I'm waiting for the Nikon D8xx rumors to start. Maybe with the Sony 42 MP sensor?!? Base ISO of 40?!? <rubs hands together> Can't wait.

I'm confident there will be Olympics in 100 years but all the events will involve some type of smart phone usage.

I was going to suggest this as well but after Time's response above, and you reply to it, I was getting my popcorn ready! LOL

Seagate's bullet point #3 says, "New level of power efficiency: 4TB/watt" So 60 watts when in use and 15 watts when idle? From the Ars article, "We do have a figure on power consumption: 1W per terabyte. Other enterprise SSDs tend to sit at around 2W-per-TB at idle." What is the "in-use"...

Seagate's 60 TB SSD.

"Back in the day," and additional MOTOR DRIVE for you camera gave you 3.5 fps. And that was bad-ass. The 6 fps you got with a Nikon F3 and MD4 motor drive was crazy insane. I thought the 2 fps "auto winder" on my brothers Minolta was awesome. The 5D4 specs don't "WOW" me much. The extra MP...

More linky gremlins for Lunar. ^^^^^ That link above launches a reply W/quote for message 3474?!? NVS2801 here.

Although, in my parents case, NOT getting a divorce can suck even more. Should have gotten divorced 20 years before they did. Would have been better for everyone involved, especially me and sister.

That's a sensible way to pay those bills Clocker. Plus the cash back is a bonus. Not all utilities allow CCs for payments because the CC companies take a cut and/or charge fees.

Nikon kinda had the right idea with it's replaceable card-slot "bay" in the D5 with either dual XQD or dual CF slots. But they didn't take it far enough. Should have been 1) a user-serviceable option and 2) many different options available, so people could have the exact card slot configuration...
