Very correctly assumed. I do a lot of US conferences, and >90% of them have no AV catering and I often wish I could see the talk again afterwards. I wanted a new camera anyway and now the D800 can do video, figured that packing a minimalistic set of kit to take with me wasn't entirely...

I waited patiently for the D600 and was hoping for £1500 launch price, so that I could get one for around that money by Xmas. It didn't pan out :( As others have noted, £2000 is frankly silly when the D800 is selling in many places for £2200 right now with immediate availability. Bought a...

From further investigation: Looks like the HDMI port on a MacBook Pro is only good for output and to record direct to the computer I might need a Blackmagic Intensity (or similar) in order to capture - http://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/intensity/ Another thing which cropped...

Looking forward to receiving a D800 from Amazon UK tomorrow. :D I've previously been shooting with a D200 so I suspect this will be quite a different experience.

Apologies if these are silly questions. I'm looking to capture video at some upcoming conferences and don't have much of a clue yet! I'm using a MacBook Pro Retina and wanted to enquire whether anyone has done any tethered video capture with a Nikon D800? Is there a way to connect to the...

Anyone spotted any Black Friday or Cyber Monday sales which make a nice D7000 deal? Bundles with 24-70mm f/2.8 with some kind of instant rebate, maybe? Wishful thinking! Also pondering whether now is a good time to buy, with announcements just around the corner in the form of D800 and possibly...

Anyone leaked what the announcement date will be yet?

Will you be attending, glued to your TV screen, or is it just an excuse for a day off and you couldn't really care less? I think I fall into the last category. Great excuse for two 4-day weekends. Booking three days off (Tues - Thurs) gets you 11 days away from work. :) Bloody well wish this...

Ah shucks, accidental CTRL+R caused a double-post. My apologies, if a friendly Moderator is around who wants to hoover this up that'd be grand.

I've flipped between A&A or Be (LLU) and Virgin Media (Cable) depending on where I've lived over the past 5-6 years and whilst I had a brief affair with Plusnet, it was just that, very brief. Took significantly longer than expected to get service activated, despite BT actually turning up the...

So the consensus is that manbags are cool these days? What next, will there be men in skirts? *run* .. only on weekends? ..

Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeez and I thought my flat got bad sometimes ;)

Being on Linux at work isn't freedom, as you end up with clueless fsckwits installing ancient versions of PHP forums which are promptly exploited to host phishing sites trying to funnel online banking details to some dodgy outfit in Timbukfcskingtoo. </rant>

/me ponders joining yet another IRC network.

Spoke to the dealer the following day, no problems whatsoever. Now driving new car, replacement document ordered from DVLA and I'm to forward it on to them early next week when I receive it. They won't keep it. Dealer is chock-full of very expensive BMWs so a five year old Renault Clio would...
