After months of rumors and years of waiting, Nikon has finally announced the D800, the latest addition to the company's DSLR lineup. After some flood-induced delays, the new full-frame camera will be available in March for $2,999.95, and it's full of new features and upgrades. Rather than a lite ve...

Posted this in the other camera thread some time back:- "I've bought 100+ items over the past 2 years ranging from $100 filters to $4,000 film scanners. Not one item "lost" or damaged. The tax (when charged i.e. about 25% of the time) is insignificant compared to the price saving. Lot...

Film cameras that were going for a song on eBay a few years back are now fetching premium money. Why? (I feel controversy c...

I bought nearly Minolta's entire lens system and three camera bodies during the 70's, their flagship SRT 101 and two SRT 102s. I still have one of the 102s and an X700 (80's vintage, along with every ...
