    7D FTW. Nice try... Nikkor HAHA! so cute... Maybe Google will send some of their peeps over there and donate some better video tech. #nikond300shanggliding

    @Grendel: Nikon is still about the pictures. For most basic PJ work, at least what I have come across, you don't need more than video for the web, which 720p covers just fine. Better AF, dual card slots, and, at least to me, better ergos with the Nikon. Sorry, I'll take the D300s instead of a 7D. #nikond300shanggliding

    @szrimaging: You're one of those people who splurged on Nikon didn't you. And now, being stuck with Nikkor lenses, its not financially viable to go the "better" route. First, no one will ever argue the ergonomics and speed settings of the 7D. Far better weather proofing for the model price-range, AND 1080p. Second, I am a photographer. I get paid to take pictures of people doing "strange" things. I use the HD video for various purposes. Short films, Photo journalism, family photos etc... I've used Nikon and Nikkor exclusively for a while until I got fed up with it. So I took a gamble and bought a Canon 5D Mark II about 5 months ago.

    I have since pawned all my old lenses, bought some seriously awesome L series lenses and have ZERO regrets. I shoot in RAW almost all the time so the dual-card slots is not a really big issue. Granted, its nice but not a deal breaker. And we aren't fully up to speed on the new 7D's features (we've tinkered but it takes time). But I have to say, I'm blown away by the AF (At least with USM L lenses).

    Canon FTW! (pppppsssst... I deserve a free camera all these pro-canon posts!) #nikond300shanggliding

    @Grendel: Odd, I'm a photographer too. I get paid to take photos of people skiing and snowboarding. Usually while catching big air.

    This is the first year though that my company may not be able to afford a separate video person.

    As for switching, I actually only have two lenses I don't need to upgrade anyways. So switching, if I felt the need, is not an issue. I just don't feel that constantly switching brands just because one has a better camera at the moment is a good choice. Both have some amazing lenses in the lineup, so that argument is null. And as long as I can capture the images I need to with the gear I have, what is the point of constantly upgrading. My camera, as long as it does what I need, should last 4 years. That gives it time to pay for itself and some of the other equipment around it. #nikond300shanggliding

    This study sounds like a load of fresh, ground bull.


    I drink on average what would probably amount to at least a pot of coffee a day and I don't hallucinate. I don't get sweaty palms, rapid heartbeat or nervous jitters either. I'd venture to say I would need to drink something on the order of two pots to start feeling those effects.


    Actually, come to think of it, there's plenty of things I wish I didn't have to look at on a daily basis however no amount of coffee (or alcohol for that matter) would fix that...

    Man, I can't function unless I get close to 300mg a day. I do get jumpy and overly-alert... isn't that what java is supposed to do? Or is it just supposed to cost 5bux and be served in places that let you practice douchery while showing off your shiny mac products on wifi? Is that the Mayer connection?

    @JB: 300mg is equivalent to one grande Pike (or any morning pick). Now imagine the folks who has several of those in a day.

    Wine = good for your heart, at the expense of your liver.

    Coffee = good for your liver, at the expense of your brain.


    Wine + Coffee = a hallucinating drunk with a healthy heart & liver

    @admoseremic: Technically, if you eat right and don't overdo it, wine should have no impact on your liver at all. That's why it's always good to eat well while drinking alcohol, instead of getting shitfaced and reading Gizmodo at 4 am like I do.... oh ...wait.

    If I am not mistaken, zero hallucinations increased three times, is still zero. I'm off to get my forth cup of Java just to test this. I will have to wrestle it from the sluglord that controls the invisible coffee maker though...where the hell is that thing...oh, look, sparkles...

    @subryu:


    right, the language seems misleading - out of a group of 200 if only one trips out without coffee, and 3 trip out with coffee, it's really still within the margin of error. Also, the placebo effect cannot be disregarded, as it's well known that making someone erroneously think they're on drugs, or drunk, will alter their behavior to fit.

    I think the study is backwards. The people who had hallucinations just imagined that they drank all that coffee.

    @Curves: As one who's well familiar with coffee addicts, I know what you mean, especially the early morning type who craves that fix to get some zip into the rest of the day, or at least the rest of the morning 'til the afternoon spiral towards quitting time.


    Ever approach someone's full coffee cup with your hand reaching out? You hear a gravely rumble, the kind of growl never before heard from a human being. Be kind to the beaners.
