Woo hay!Nicely, Sir!
This just happened today: I ordered a tripod clamp from the States on Sunday for one of my cameras, and innocently deployed the internets to track it's progress this morning. Imagine my fucking horror when I read:
Acceptance, September 28, 2009, 1:53 pm, MOUNT PLEASANT, UT 84647
...and being a normal human skipped the Utah bit at the end with my eyes.
So there I am juggling amazement at it flying over the pond so quickly, with fear of it landing into the hands of our glorious Royal Mail comrades who are currently revolting about yet something else, and it being at Royal Mail's central sorting office in WC1 currently at the mercy of strike action! I could hardly piss straight with fear, thinking of my poor little bit of metal lost and abandoned in some anonymous heap of abandoned mail!
Fortunately, I recovered my composure and realised UPS wouldn't actually have anything to do with Royal Mail and Mount Pleasant and noticed the UT in the email! Crazy coincidence though! :)

I read somewhere that beast throws out jpgs at about 180mbfucking bonkers
and technology we, as mere mortals, will have within the next decade
Probably on our mobile phones

it can do itbecause its got a huge sensor. It would be a huge hurdle to fit something with that many pixels into a phone sized sensor without just having noise swarm everything.

Hurdle?Think about what has advanced in the last five years with even Canon and Nikon, and Sony come to my mind breathing up their arse
Canon have just released an 18mb 8fps 1.6 crop 7D, with ground breaking AF, begging the question what on earth are their next 1D bodies going to hold
Getty Images have apparently stopped all purchasing of Nikon kit in anticipation of Canon's next release prior to the world cup, which given should be an upgrade to the 1D3, which, with all is it's spec seems very dated now, and probably why Nikon grabbed such a chunk of Canon's market. But given what Canon have just hurled out with the 7D, one can only shudder with what upgrade is on the horizon; I will buy it if it is full frame and not 1.3
