<p>I think there are fanboys/girls in both camps, I've in the past been accused of being a Canon fanboy. Both systems are fine and Nikon leads in marketing. I've used Nikons, while they have done a good job recently, last couple yrs. There are some things untouchable from Canon for me the combination of a 1dmk3 and a 300mm f2.8LIS is pure magic. Thanks everyone good comments so far was a good read.</p>

I just wanted to add that I was harsh in my previous comment, this is a great site and what I like most of all is the fact that admin didn't delete it, it shows that this is a mature professional site that doesn't hide comments regardless if it criticises the site. There is a good balance of freedom to comment. This I respect the admin a lot for maintaining, I also appretiate it's a lot to expect admin to deal with every little issue. I'm pleased with the way things have been handled especially the 3/3 anons attacks. It would be nice if it didn't exist but not a big deal. Keep up the great work making this crit site the best on the net.

Hey :-) Faleh thanks, I thought I was in for a treat to see some great pics LOL! im shocked it's my one's on dpreview. I appretiate the kind gesture, I'm also happy that even though the dpreview guys are really tough were very appretiative of my photo's I did another series also on there. I get more out of dpreview comments than the silly childish games some play here. My latest shot here I resubmitted 4 times again and again repeatedly deleting then resub, one persistent Ars_ h_L_e would you believe insisted repeatedly that I deserved 3's in my ratings eventually he gave up as I kept deleting then submitting again. Finally I have no 3's on that shot. I won't be posting for ratings here again, let the rate mafia win! with their point and shoot pics. My shot previous to that got flooded with the anon bot 5 or 6 new membrs. Also the shots you linked to my fav shot I got anon 3/3 man was I shocked when I was told from an admin it's prob someone who doesn't like the subject. I say nonsense. Below average! when I haven't seen anywhere on this site any real detailed flying D.fly shots. How come the ones that are highly rated at the top some with mediocre images dont ever get attacked with the anon 3's prob coz they run the show :-( thanks anyway man I prob join Pbase and build up a gallery there when my 1yr subs runs out, Best Rgds Necip

I think the D700 will be everything I wished my 5D to be apart from the pixel sharpness if the D3 is anything to go by. I also don't like the more agressive Camera noise reduction system of the D3 to boast high ISO performance, it doesn't fool me. Bodies come and go and 6 months is about the novelty period. I think a lot of people expect some magic when they buy a body like it is going to suddenly make massive differences. I think the biggest difference you can make to your system is invest in a top quality lens rather than another body upgrade. If you have great lenses and the money then great! a body upgrade is cool. My wish list for the next 5D is the old rumoured speck of the 3D a smaller than 1dmk3 body similar shape and body spec, full frame 16mp similar ISO to the 1dmk3 and the same focus system, yes it rocks!. 5 f/s or more 10 preferably (I'm spoilt with the 1dmk3). A built in ST2 flash controller I already have one but wish it was built in. Also a crop mode so it can go down to 10mp at much higher f/s. I also would think an economy version called the 7D with the a similar sensor but 40D quality body to keep the enthusiasts happy. A real live view like the one in the sony would be nice. I think I probably will stick with what I've got, a 5D and 1dmk3 I don't think I will be tempted. not for the next 6months or so while they iron out the bugs like I waited almost a year for the 1dmk3. Being an early adopter is a bad move, after reading the tears on dpreview with the 1dmk3 AF fiasco I bought mine when all that dust settled and Canon finally resolved its issues, luckily mine has been awsome.

Thanks Josh really appretiate it. I see that they have been removed.

Lex I do agree with the points you make I should try not to take this too seriously. I was just quite supprised when the wave of low ratings appeared about the same time as if by a group and I saw the following:-

 

Finally, of the ratings listed, 6 are from new members. As a measure against abuse, ratings from very recently registered members are not counted in the overall averages and totals until the moderators have had an opportunity to review them.

 

If you look here also a shot by luigi

 

http://www.photo.net/photodb/ratings-breakdown?photo_id=7463262

 

has a similar pattern appearing about the same time. From 5 new members.

 

 

I do appretiate feedback but an anon rate with no comment isn't really feedback especially if one rates a 3/3 he should leave a comment if it is to mean anything. Anyway I think enough said about this Uncle Lex is not a cheapskate, LOL! :-)

Thanks everyone I see it now.

I'm a new subscriber I'm just wondering if the icon should get displayed

automatically or do I have to do something to make it visible. Or is it a case

that it is done manually by admin.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Necip.

I noticed tonight in a flash as soon as I uploaded there was already a 3/3 straight away. I deleted it. I had the same happen on my most favourite D.fly shot. Took me quite some time to get it :-(

I agree with Monte the anon system could go. Anyhow I've enjoyed the site so far am considering becoming a member. Some great photographers here and some mediocre that seem to get a lot of ratings even for poorly focused and camera shaken shots.

I don't see that test as being anything to rely on. Someone needs to devise a more standardised method. e.g a swinging pendulum with a variable set of swing speeds or a moving car at a standardised speeds. Anyway I'm happy with my 1dmkIII nothing to complain about it's an awsome camera even before the recent firmware 1.23 I didn't have any issues but mine is from a more recent batch. They are both for different purposes anyway so pointless comparing them. I like the 1.3x for BIF and my 5D still holds it's ground in the full frame race. I think what keeps me with Canon more so is the 300mm f2.8LIS lens.

A great photographer indeed and my condolences to his family. I am saddened as I have not crit any of his photo's for him to see. A man who see's the beauty of nature like he has seen and capture's it so well is a man who will surely be at peace. Peace be on you Yuri.

I'm a new member recently joined. I'm seeing the following message on my images

just wondering if this is common and nothing to worry about. Would the Admin

know if it is the same person on all the images? my latest image has 2 new users

reported also.

 

Thanks
