You really received a great discount. B&H currently lists the 7D Mark III at $1499.00. The 70D, which the poster is offering, lists there for $999.00.

Just observing.

O.K. all you idiots out there without lens hoods - Your idiots.

Vital: meaning essential. Rather - nice to have sometimes. I agree that some make your gear look more impressive. Except when you put a black lens hood on one of those wonderful cream colored Canon lenses.

With some hoods, it makes it very difficult to use a polarizing filter. Then again, at the angle where the hood becomes desirable, the polarizing filter probably not necessary.

And for those knuckleheads without them: use your hand.

So, how does one install these firmware updates? What form do they come in?

Before checking YouTube for a possible example.

"moving from Aperture 3 to Photos for Mac"

Should have, would have been the preferred topic heading. Too bad UHH Admin does not monitor this stuff and make posters stick to the guidelines for headings.

I'm taking yet another deep breath of annoyance at the practice.

With the new heading, I would never have opened it, as I have no interest in your topic.

Then why did I? To track nonsense and complain and waste your time for wasting mine.

Always use "quote reply."

Where did you see a Windows 10 link? I found no actual link in the postings to date.

What's a Hollywood type?

What is the breakdown for "Hollywood" as far as stated political persuasion is concerned and how do these percentages compare with those in the nation as a whole?

Ronnie Reagan was a republican, as I recall. "I didn't leave the Democratic party, the Democratic party left me."

Ronald Reagan was certainly a phony. Spoke bumper sticker like a great communicator.

If Picasso had used a camera.

"my backasswards state does not"

That puts you in Mississippi or Alabama (I've lived in Alabama, so in some respects, but not all, confirmed), as the other five that do not participate in Powerball couldn't be described as "backasswards" (with perhaps the exception of Idaho) nor traditionally considered "Southeast."

Also, anywhere is not "nowhere." Everybody's got to be somewhere. Why not tell us the state, so we can come after you?

"So I help pay for education for Florida kids..."

How generous of you. If only you could help educate the governor.

"Are you saying it's like you can keep your health insurance, your doctor, etc.?"

That has absolutely nothing to do with the argument at hand.

"Most public, union, employees are democrats"

Define "most." Leaving out independents, its 32% vs. 28%.

But the breakdown is actually: 32% democrats; 37% independents; 28% republicans.[also, if one may assume, a similar breakdown representing the taxpayer "tit" in the general population of v**ers??? Dunno. Independents may not v**e. Look for data]

Leaving aside the question of whether ANYONE today would want to identify with the current policies of the Republican Party, read the Gallop poll conducted in 2010:

http://www.gallup.com/poll/146786/democrats-lead-ranks-union-state-workers.aspx

These data are based on 177,775 interviews with employed Americans conducted as part of Gallup Daily tracking in 2010. Government employment and union status are based on workers' self-reports.

Among all U.S. adults interviewed, 32% are Democrats, 37% independents, and 28% Republicans.

Among other key findings:
The gap in Democratic party identification between union and nonunion work environments is largest among private-sector workers and federal government workers, with an 11.8-percentage-point and a 10.2-point gap, respectively.
Nonunionized state government workers show a smaller gap than the one found among unionized state workers, but still demonstrate a nearly 10-point Democrat (39.2%) to Republican (29.5%) gap.
Among private-sector workers who are unionized, Democrats outnumber Republicans by a substantial 42% to 24% margin.
Federal and local government workers who are unionized are also more likely to be Democrats than Republicans, albeit with a smaller partisan gap than among state and private-sector workers. Nonunion federal and local government workers are roughly even in terms of Democratic and Republican identification.
Nonunion private-sector workers are about evenly split between Republicans and Democrats.
The political profile of every major category of union workers is more strongly Democratic than that of the public at large -- with between 40% and 46% identifying as Democrats -- and somewhat less Republican and independent. Nevertheless, a significant minority -- ranging from 24% to 27% of unionized workers, depending on area of employment -- identify as Republicans.
Some of these political distinctions may be caused by underlying demographic patterns that characterize union jobs versus nonunion jobs. With that in mind, Gallup controlled for all relevant demographics and found a muted, but similar pattern.
Implications
Unions have been in the news in recent months as Republican Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin made state employee unions the major target of his efforts to cut costs and reduce his state's budget. Walker and Republican legislators in Wisconsin engaged in a protracted battle with the unions and Democratic legislators over these efforts, effectively underscoring the highly partisan nature of union politics in today's environment. Unions have become one of the largest financial supporters of Democratic candidates for office, and the confrontation with Gov. Walker was likely amplified still further because of the probable political orientation of unionized state workers in Wisconsin.
The current data show that rank-and-file union members tend to follow these same partisan patterns across both government and private industry employment sectors. Even when demographic characteristics of union and nonunion members are controlled for, those who are union members skew at least slightly more Democratic in their political orientation than those who are not union members.

Survey Methods
Results are based on telephone interviews conducted as part of the Gallup Daily tracking survey with 177,775 national working adults, aged 18 and older, conducted Jan. 2-Dec. 29, 2010. Of these, 144,682 respondents work inside of a nongovernment setting, and 133,317 of these are not in unions, while 11,365 are. For results based on the total sample of national working adults in a nongovernment setting, one can say with 95% confidence that the maximum margin of sampling error is ±0.3 percentage point for those not in a union and ±0.9 percentage point for those who are.

Good take-off on the "Fifty Shades" phenomenon (or should I say phenomena) gripping our country. Mark my last word.

So how is this unit for someone who doesn't want to spend a lot but want's much better than the camera microphone?

Ridiculous post. As are all the other posts here, save one.
