[QUOTE="Whiskeyman, post: 747749, member: 13556"] Well, he gets on board a new product when he is convinced it will help him. So I'd say he does listen to reviews and comments, as well as covering a camera systems specifications thoroughly. However, he will not keep anything that he feels is restricting his photography. I've gone on two shoots with him and he's had new gear each time, as in different brands. I've never heard him bash any camera brand, but when asked would indicate that a certain camera model didn't work for him. He uses his cameras nearly every day, and amazes me with his ability to remember and know menus and camera settings/layouts from many cameras. I strggle with going from my DXXA to my DXXB, but he can fly through not only that challenge, but also switch between Brand-X and Brand-Y. I've got an idea that he has a contact in the retail camera/photography business which allows him to get products early, as well. This is likely how he gets so many new introductions to the business when he does. (What do they say? It pays to have the right connections.) As far as the Peta Pixel article is concerned, I also hope that they are incorrect in their projection and that Nikon survives as a photo products company. I share your cautious optimism about Nikon, but understand that the world's economy is in new territory these days, and will likely remain so for a while. I hope you and your family have a good Thanksgiving and that you get some great photos soon! WM [/QUOTE]
