I'll try and stir your imagination for a subject --- post a shot of a unicycle! :D

[Woolburr]

Oh no....you just jinxed yourself...after all...you have the only functional copy in America!

[Roy Mathers]

Just for the record, I've had a 40D for five months, and it's behaved impeccably! It's been perfect from day one.

[PiRho]

gee thanks Dan!

and now we know that Roy has the only working copy in the UK :D

W00T :lol:

[Woolburr]

Pretty amazing huh? Two working copies...who knew?

[Roy Mathers]

gee thanks Dan!

This thread is full of cynics!:D

[Woolburr]

This thread is full of cynics!:D

Hell no. The cynics haven't shown up yet, just the comedians.:lol::lol::lol:

[PiRho]

Hell no. The cynics haven't shown up yet, just the comedians.:lol::lol::lol:

too true! I think however that comedy was part of my reason to start this thread! too many people just report when they have something that is not working and you rarely hear about the happy customer. so I thought I'd break the mold, or try anyway.

[greg20d]

thats amazing because mine didnt fail either ....I dont get it canon what are you doing making cameras that work

[andrew748]

this thread will come back and haunt you all one day :D :p

[AngryCorgi]

this thread will come back and haunt you all one day :D :p

[JBOB]

They were actually made by nokin. :rolleyes: Let the flaming begin. :lol:

[Jon]

this thread will come back and haunt you all one day :D :pYa want to go back and count the times I've lauded my 20D, 5D or D60? No haunting; they're still doing fine (as are the A80 that took several hard falls and the A620; both of which commute regularly rattling in my backpack).

[Woolburr]

I probably shouldn't mention my D30 that is still in service...over 100K images and I haven't even replaced the original batteries.

[Roy Mathers]

Why not just say Nikon?

[PiRho]

OK as promised. Cropped a little and resized... think it might still be bigger then I am supposed to post. I gotta get the whole resizing thing figured out.

This is my new office building being built. C&C if you want.

[PiRho]

Why not just say <CENSORED> ?

because that is them of whome we do not speak <quickly glances over shoulder>

How silly is that? Do you think that, on the Nikon forums, they refer to Conan?

[PiRho]

That wouldn't surprise me in the least!

[Mum2J&M]

Does it matter? ???

[squashed]

PiRho, I think the 40D is underexposing. You should send it in:)

[AngryCorgi]

LOL

Maybe that explains the hostility!

I guess I better make sure that I only shoot things that I want underexposed then! :D
I was kinda going for the whole silhouette thing, did it work? or do yu think the sky is really too dark?

[AngryCorgi]

Or maybe Canon could recalibrate Z... ;)

what if i tell my wife that the camera is bad and I will have to buy a 5D mkII? that might work :D

[AngryCorgi]

[PiRho]

just don't try holding your breath!

I was being a silly....I didn't even know people were having problems with their new 40D's.

Why not just say N*k*n?Because, given how highly POTN ranks on search engines, we try to avoid turning up in searches for that . . .
