Man I hate nightmares

i had one the other night, my camera was stolen and when i went to buy a new one all the canon slr's had articulating screen thingies on them , but i needed a camera fast so i bought it.


the next part happens in really slow motion


now as i'm walking into a crowd of people with my new slr with the thingie hanging off to the side, i notice everyone looking my way pointing and laughing and they all had noink cameras.

That wasnt a dream. You were walking down 32nd street and most people on the good side of town do have Nikon. PS I was asked to tel you and your Sony Alfa not to come back over here



Seriously though the 60D is heavily rumored to have the articulating screen. If it does it may be the down fall of DSLR cams as we know it. Between that and the EVIL system we will end up with seriously overpriced point and shoots

I predict it would take me all of 2 shoots to break one of this screens.

If Nikon does ring out EVIL I will be getting a Canon when ( if) my D700 wears out,

wow guys you really do dream about cameras? I mean i did dream about cameras when I was still longing for the D700.. but now that I have it. I have not had any dream/nightmares about cameras anymore... hehe

To me that kind of seems like saying "If Lenovo makes a pink netbook aimed at kids I'm going to get rid of my W700ds aimed at engineers/graphics artists."

well i tell ya that whole articulating thing has already affected me, my wife got a G11 for my 4 yr old so he could hold it up over his head and stop bringing me home T and A pictures

To what extent do you think EVIL will be used?
If they put that little pink notebooks screen on the W700ds your damn right I would not want it.
If is stays in smaller formats ten fine but if it invades DSLR market then it is an issue

I do not really dream about cameras but I have honestly dreamed about wires.
My wife told me that I woke her up in the middle of the night by tugging the blanket. She asked me what I was doing and I told her I was pulling the slack off of a wire. ( I am an electrician )

It looks orangish. BUt there are a bazillion shades of orange, so it is hard to say if it is right or not.

lol, yep, but the owner of the car said it look super red to him so I just want to know if I'm going into a good direction at least. lol. I'll throw away this screen soon. I did the whole apple advance calibration test and nada. looks like crap.

Mastamarek if it was shot with a canon it appears to be a beautiful shade of burnt orange but if it was shot with a nikon it's definately red

if you look at the tent in the background the blue looks correct and there is a red logo on it.

well it looks orange... rust color something...
