what a tit
Now you guys are confusing me.... everybody pm'd me in another thread to inform me that "Great tits" were birds, not what I thought they were at all, now you're telling me they're journalists?
Look at it this way, if the man didn't interject a few lines of idiocy, his bosses would've spotted the fact that he simply plagiarized a press release... so blame his editor...unless of course his editor has tits, or is a tit... 'cause that would be sexist... as if birds could file a complaint... they can't even proofread.
In that line of work it is better to be an idiot than a plagiarist. Trust me if there's one thing I know...it's idiocy.

TBH that is good news in a way.

I would hate to have to get rid of an entire system.

I guess we could have a situation where all the technolgy is behind that of the sensor-

Printers, monitors, lenses. So in a way your camera sensor only needs to be as good as the best performing lens/monitor/printer coupled to it.
most people could get away with 6mp and would NEVER see any difference other than hearing a sales clerk tell them "This has more megapixels, so it's better"

on ricehigh's blog a user identified the cause as an electrically conductive grease that works it's way into the scroll wheel switches electrical contacts... they had a pull apart photo series and a DIY repair, which I simply ignored and used wd-40 (cannot recommend you try wd yet, mine hasn't been "fixed" for very long so try at your own risk). but if your camera is very new try exchange or warrenty at the store you bought from...

I am primarily a manual, raw shooter, however, there are some in camera tricks that only work with jpeg, so why not? heck I've even been using some of the Auto focus and modes.... they're there so why not?

my kr, 50 1.4, 16-45, and 100 macro made this trip:youtube video
not exactly bicycling, but pretty much the same storage limits...
As for security, keep your valuables on your person... I use a pelican case and locks or camera bag inside my main backpack....

yes. common enough.
search ricehigh's webblog or here... I dealt with mine DIY style with no adverse effects yet (cannot say for sure using wd-40 is a good long term fix, too soon to tell if anything bad will happen) or you could try warrenty exchange/repair...

I strongly recommend you test this unit before you buy it. Drop pants, sit on imaging sensor area, press the green "Copy" shutter button, and replace your avatar with the new photo.
If anybody here can spot the improvements then you will know you've made the right choice.
