Why did you downrank him, he was making a joke, did no one get it.
I can confirm as well it's fixed. On a forum an idiot was insisting it was fixed because he cleaned his camera lens. It's obvious there was some kind of update. The camera is actually usable now instead of completely broken.
Oh and what wedding photographer is using an SB-600? It's OK as a remote flash, maybe that is your problem.
This is a strange review, it started out sounding like an advertisement or press materials. Who is this reviewer? I shoot weddings all the time, with a SB-900 as my main flash. I quote from the review "One of the major concerns with traditional NiMh rechargeables is just how weak they are, and just how quickly their longevity declines. With few exceptions, most of these cells can't actually power a dedicated hotshoe flash for more than a few minutes (if at all), and any application that demands a serious amount of power generally asks too much from these pricey tubes". Huh? I use regular energizer NIMH batteries for hundreds of flash shots before they need changing. What do you mean a few minutes, if you a burning through these batteries in a few minutes you are also melting your flash. Also with a proper charger that conditions the batteries they don't decline quickly.

I'm not saying these batteries aren't good, but the review is suspect. It starts out bashing batteries that flashes are designed for and work very well, then ends with saying how good of a price these new batteries are.
I guess when a mainstream site tries to talk about something meant for pros there are always going to be a lot of ridiculous comments with no understanding at all about the subject. When you are using a camera that looks similar to what is pictured, you will understand the need for this.
We most definitely do. I was probably one of the first to order one of these. My camera with lens and flash is about 7 pounds, it was killing me around my neck. The more you spend on a camera the tougher they are built, it's actually the opposite of what you are thinking. You worry less about a really expensive camera and lens.
Well Apple makes the hardware and OS, so either way it's their fault. I have no problems with Flash playback on my home built Windows 7 PC. I really have no problems with anything, it's works great.
Neither of you guys knows what you are talking about.
This isn't for the same market as a Nikon or Canon. These are large format cameras, mostly used in studio modeling work and things like that. It's not something any normal consumer needs to worry about.
I just got to Shambala, however that is spelled. I actually have to admit I don't think the Xbox 360 could do this, the graphics are ridiculous. It's not the systems power though that makes a game look like this, they have some amazing artist designing these levels.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I have a MacBook Pro and an Xbox 360 and I would like to get a 20- to 24-inch display that will support both devices. The speakers should be inbuilt, or there should be an aux out on the display to hook up external speakers. Help! Please!"
