Went to Yodobashi Camera in Akihabara today and tested out the D600, D800 and the 5D MKIII...
I must say...the shutter sound of the 5D MKIII seems weird

the 24-120mm f/4 seems pretty nice on the D800

My eyes were glowing looking at all the Gitzo tripods, thinktank bags, lowepro bags, vanguard etc... all the different lenses, Leica and even big a$$ telescopes

Nice! The shutter sounds on those cameras are very different.

yeah the D600 and the D800 have the solid thud sound while the 5D MKIII sounds like there are bells attached to the shutter

I encountered some birders yesterday also... most of them were using Canons... I think 2 of them on the far side have the 400mm f/5.6 and the one on the middle have a 400mm f/2.8... the one nearest to me have a Sigma, it looks like a sigma 150-500 or something like that.

He's complaining about wifi... I'm complaining about no power... Yet there's people with no houses here on LI. Boy I lucked out.

Yes, we have a lot to be thankful for! I don't have power either, but we run a generator on a heater to heat the house, and we hooked the WiFi router up to the generator; amazingly, the phone came back on!
Frankly, I am amazed that they have anyone's power back on yet; we met a small convoy of power trucks coming into Elkins, and they have gotten to work! They already have some people back on! Given the scope of the storm damage, I amazed that they have anything on yet!
