I think he meant "Sure. They're old, and called Brownies". :) The smart-ass in me wants to make a comment about people with poor English skills typing on their phones with big thumbs, but I won't. (Or is it "there fonez"???)Sorry, response unintelligible.

I won't say I'm tired of that kind of response, but...... Anyway, just like "Kourtesy Kops" I'm tired of dealing with it. By the way, I have no problem with anyone to whom English is a second language, nor to people who have not had the advantage of a higher education as long as they make a reasonable effort. My father didn't speak English or write cursive until he was 12 years old, but by the time I was born, he spoke English without a German accent, spoke German without an English accent, was a strict grammarian in both languages and had the most beautiful Spencerian handwriting I have ever seen - and never went past the 8th grade!

I know exactly what you mean, and I agree completely. I am often puzzled at the rather common outlook that celebrates inaccuracy as a form of self-expression. I believe the US public education system is to blame, in many cases. And I've heard all the nonsense about "English is an evolving language, so it's ok to..." whatever. That's idiotic. English is an evolving language in that "google" is now a perfectly good verb, and idioms like 'friends with benefits' become part of the vernacular. It doesn't mean you can substitute "there" for "their" or "they're", or that "me and him went to the truck races" or 'her and me got engaged.' are acceptable constructions. By the way, I have no problem with anyone to whom English is a second language, nor to people who have not had the advantage of a higher education as long as they make a reasonable effort.

All you say is true Captain, I can ignore the buttons but I can't ignore the added cost of a feature that I will never use. In 50 years of photography I've never had a need for video for Landscape or Macro.

Not current. My D300 does not have video. They are available for around $500-$850 depending on condition/shutter actuations. It's a tank--- with no plastic. I hammer nails with it on the weekend.
