With the "new world economy" business now is rush, rush, rush. Hurry,hurry, hurry, "Get her done!" Time is money.
So they figure if it isn't right, they will fix it the second when it comes back. Many customers will just settle for the ineptness and let it go.
Bottom Line is the Almighty Dollar and the fleecing of the consumer!

Business has always been get er done and time is money. What is different now is, with the current economic conditions and gov. regulations most businesses are trying to operate with a smaller work force because they still need to make a profit. Fewer hands almost always results in lower quality.

All the various makers brag about the number and configuration of their focus points. I find the both distracting and not at all helpful. As a result I use center spot focus as well as spot metering in my 7d. Am I the only and what,if anything , am I missing. I come from 4 or 5 decades of film with split image film focus screens, and spot metering both in camera and with light meters. Am I alone? (Please pardon the bad syntax- I'm to lazy to go back and correct them)
You are not alone. What works for me is 'back button' focus with center spot, recompose if required. Feels just like split image focusing from back in "the good old days" :thumbup:

I think the Bush tax cuts failed and the only thing that trickled down was some millionaire pissing on your leg!
Look at the economic outcomes under Clinton and then under Bush! Look at the adverse economic impact of the GOP controlled house and senate because of their obstinacy to the infrastructure improvements proposed by the OBama administration.
In short, the decline can clearly be laid on your doorstep and not on liberal policies!
Hypocrite

Did you add the 9/11 created fears and the war expenses (which both parties v**ed for) into your calculations?
Didn't think so.

PS: A couple of positive points about using the leveling base for landscapes and panos. First is that once you have the base leveled, (fore and aft, port and starboard :) )when you pan the camera either with a rotating clamp or a ball head with a rotating base, your camera moves on a level plain. Before I got a leveling base I often had to trim a pano more than I liked because it climbed up in one direction or the other. If you level the camera using a ball head for instance, if the base isnt level too then your images will staircase.
Another is that using a leveling base is a whole lot quicker and easier than messing around with your tripod legs. This turned out to be a fringe benefit that wasnt considered originally.

Since the original post included past and present, why do you want to limit the republican list to 'current'? :roll:

I used to use my tripod a lot shooting wildlife but now more into landscapes. I would also like to do some panos and time lapse.
For what you are looking to get into I would suggest a leveling base and add a rotating clamp for the panos.

Thank you. I seriously doubt anything has changed after 45 years plus as a licensed master electrician. :thumbup:
:lol: Back when I learned electronics in the Navy (we were still using sails) voltage was expressed as "E" electro motive force. The formula is still the same though.

There is a similar issue with the D750!!!
Really? what exactly is the issue? The OP said he received an error indication and sent the camera to Nikon who replaced the shutter mechanism. None of that describes the problem

If I heard this post from Rongnongno rather than read it, I'm sure I would have felt his tongue was firmly embedded in his check.
Playing along however, I shoot raw because it takes a rough,tough man to handle the extra load. :)
