Dan Lorth???

[bnlearle]

Care to shed some light on the 5D replacement?

[AdamJL]

Why would he know?

[HyperYagami]

or why would he share?

[Tom W]

How come he gets his own thread? :D

[Colorblinded]

Who is he?

[Tony-S]

He's da man for Canon predictions. In reality, he's probably the company's president...

[Colorblinded]

Oh, sorry. I don't keep track of the guys you folks idolize.

[mattograph]

Oh, sorry. I don't keep track of the guys you folks idolize.


ROFL!!!!:):)

[AdamJL]

Oh, sorry. I don't keep track of the guys you folks idolise.

Edited your spelling, then + 1 ;)

At least, I won't idolise him until he gives me accurate specs on the new 5D replacement, and those specs have gotta be GOOD. I'll hate him forever if it's just a warmed over 5D! :D :lol:

I'm not a linguist, but I think "idolize" is an acceptable spelling......

It is correct, unless you come from some of the more backwards parts of the English speaking world ;).

[mattograph]

Look at that equipment list!!!! He's got more gear than sports illustrated!!!

[scokar]

Its actually "Darth Lon". the sith lord of Lenses :)

[neil_r]

But I can't find any of his pictures :-(

[mattograph]

But I can't find any of his pictures :-(

He doesn't have any time to take any. I found a copy of his schedule on the internet:

9 am Start loading truck for big shoot at noon


3 pm Finish loading truck for big noon shoot


3:01 pm Realize missed noon shoot, start unloading truck


8 pm Finish unloading truck. Hit the sack to rest up for big noon shoot tomorrow!!!

(I sure hope this dude has a sense of humor!!!:))

[Tom W]

It probably depends on where you live. We 'Murricans make liberal use of the letter "Z".

[Tom W]

Who is he?

Who is John Galt?

;)

LOL!! That's pretty darn funny!

[Jimmer411]

England?

[NickSimcheck]

We still have over 2 weeks before Dan knows what is going to be released.

He said september 18th is the actual release date, while august 26th is only the press release.

[mattograph]

And November 18th will be the date that a mere mortal actually gets to touch one!!!

[blackshadow]

I'm not a linguist, but I think "idolize" is an acceptable spelling......

Only in one country in the world - most English speaking nations use the s over z.

[rexspangle]

Perhaps when Mr. Lorth gets here to tell us about the 5d replacement he can clear up the proper spelling of "idolize" as well as let me know if he sees a new camera in my future...

[Nortelbert]

So, we're in awe of him 'cause he got the price changes correct? What else did he do? Not being mean, that's the only topic that I could find with a quick search on his thread starts

[bnlearle]

Dan Lorth was the first to break news on the lens prices being raised - and therefore saving several people some cash buying before. He then was the first to break news on the latest Canon rebate - saving me about $500 on stuff I ALMOST bought the day before. Sure, he's not god but he's the only one on here who's leaked detailed, accurate info - twice in the same year.

___________

As far as only one country in the world using "Z"...

USA = 300 million people
UK, Ireland, Australia, NZ, Canada = 120 million (I know there are others but I believe that proves my point)

I think it's safe to say that there's nothing wrong with either version now, isn't it ;)

[Nortelbert]

Cool ... I didn't know he forewarned on the rebate.

As for English... don't forget to ad 350 million Indians to the British side ;-)

[bnlearle]

As for English... don't forget to ad 350 million Indians to the British side ;-)

Oh, I didn't :) I was only including primary English speaking countries. Even still, it's 90 million for India, I believe (65 million who speak english as their second language and 25 million as their third).

Either way, the whole "America's the only country that does X" always seems to forget that America's population is greater than all the countries that it is typically being compared against. And I'm no pro-American psycho. I love my country but love so many others, as well. I've been to about 30 countries and have adored every single one of them.

So, like I was saying, "idolize" and "idolise" are both A-ok in my book. I think we can acknowledge that a lot of people use both versions daily ;)

[outdrifting]

gotta love wiki
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_and_British_English_spelling_differences

"The -ise form is used by the British government and is more prevalent in common usage within the UK today; the ratio between -ise and -ize stands at 3:2"

in other words use whatever

[AdamJL]

Or in other words, 40% of people are dead wrong :p

[Nortelbert]

As my investment brochures say, "past performance is not indicative of future results". so, if August 26 is some announcement date and Dan's got an inside contact, we should see some accurate specs on the 24th, let's say.

[mattograph]

I might be a heretic, but I am standing up now to say that....

I doubt the Dan. He cannot deliver us the news we seek.

If he truly had the power, why would he make us wait?

WHY!!!!?!???!!

[Colorblinded]

You guys arguing about idolize vs idolise really need something constructive to do with your time.

[mattograph]

Yes. Let's move on to Potato vs. Potatoe.

Like posting on a forum criticising (or criticizing ;)) people speaking about spelling. Way to go!

Canon normally announce on a Tuesday. 24th is a Sunday. So we could see rumours (not rumors ;)) on the Monday or hopefully, the 22nd (Friday)

I figure if he has inside info for sure, he'd be a nice guy and tell us on the weekend :-)
Or it could just be a rumour (<--- try living in Canada where we mix both British and US English)

Looks like you were a little slower to catch on there ;)

[M24]

Who is he?


Don't know, and not so sure if I care. I've got nothing against him/her (it?). Sure does have a lot of gear for a 19 year old.

:p

[bmxfro]

I LOL'ed so hard! I bet I looked crazy here at work! Thank you for that!

That's a quote worth quoting. Esp. in a 5D rumors section.

[NickSimcheck]

Strange, I don't know why I would get a red X with the orignal link, but here's a new one just in case:

[mattograph]

Looks like he just read that Nikon bought Canon!

[Colorblinded]

Oh dear I've seen quite a few "modifications" of the longer version of that gif that are based on black stereotypes.

[AdamJL]

Back on topic guys please.

[PhotoJourno]

I have no comments on another fellow POTN user. :)

[Colorblinded]

Back on topic guys please.
You're complaining about this going off topic? :lol:

I thought this was the official "non-topic" topic thread!

He was the first one to take it off topic when he felt the need to bicker about variations in spelling in the English language!

And I'm the first to let you guys know to stay away from the race card before the mods get involved. Please.

Neither had I, for Ice Cube i was surprised, its amazing what a google search can find.

It's from a show where they painted white people black and black people white, then threw them into opposite society where they lived out their lives for X amount of time as the opposite race.

Yeah...

lol. Just thought I would throw that out there.:)

[Belmondo]

So it was inevitable that a moderator would pass through here eventually, and I look to be the guy.

Not only has this thread drifted off topic, but it's ventured into some very murky waters. Let's try it again from the top....


Who is Dan Lorth?

[Colorblinded]

Who is Dan Lorth?
That's what I want to know!

Who is he and why should I care?

Who is Dan Lorth?

A guy on POTN who knows a guy who has a camera shop. Pretty thrilling stuff eh?

[Colorblinded]

Oh, I know people who own camera shops too! They only knew as much as their Canon reps knew which was usually less than nothing :lol:

[bnlearle]

That's what I want to know!

Who is he and why should I care?
Read the thread. It explains who he is. He's gotten two things correct in a detailed enough manner that gives me the hunch that he knows someone special or is someone special. One of his leaks saved me $500.

I look forward to a "you worship this guy?!?! that's all he did?!?!" from you very soon.

And no one said you should care. This topic wasn't titled "Why emorphien should care about Dan Lorth" so I don't care if these isn't cool enough for you :rolleyes:

[Colorblinded]

Mmmk, tell me how you really feel.

[mattograph]

OMG!!!!

We need the 5D MKII before we all kill each other!

[bnlearle]

Mmmk, tell me how you really feel.
If you insist :)

Oh, sorry. I don't keep track of the guys you folks idolize.
This was the post that started it for me. So "too cool for school." The irony in it... you don't care about those who we lesser people idolize - yet you're here in the rumor section for the same thing.

You guys arguing about idolize vs idolise really need something constructive to do with your time.
You say this after you opened a rumor thread and mocked others for wanted to know rumors... hmmmmm

He was the first one to take it off topic when he felt the need to bicker about variations in spelling in the English language!
This one wasn't as bad - except that wasn't what he did. He was sort of pointing out the spelling as a side note - but mainly showing off how you were acting cooler than everyone else.

That's what I want to know!

Who is he and why should I care?
Again, no one cares if you care. Some people trust "Dan Lorth" and others don't.

___________

Honestly, I don't mean to attack you too much. Just get a little annoyed when people act like they don't care about something, they actually do, but they sort of put down others for openly caring. I'm sure you weren't all that serious though :)

[cdifoto]

OK folks. Time for y'all to head over to G&N and let off some steam...

[Colorblinded]

Sounds like you need the old joke meter recalibrated then! The rest of us have been goofing off, what's your problem? Half of the 5D threads have been turned in to jokes as of late, sorry if you can't enjoy that.

Too cool for school? Please, the rumors section seems to be as much for constructive discussion of rumors as it is to have fun speculating and goofing around. Go look at some of the other threads if you haven't notice that yet. You're entitled to your opinion of course, even if I think it's ridiculous!

[Belmondo]

And with that, this thread is history.

Good night.
