clearly some sort of game farm, these animals are used to human interaction at feeding time.
doesn't make them safe, just approachable.

Do you have any idea how many times the secret service has to restrain GWB from pushing the RED BUTTON?
Not that GWB wanted to nuke anybody, he though the RED BUTTON was for the Bat signal and tried to push it every time he though he needed Batman....

So there lyes the answaer take more time in getting things right before the release of the product. I would far sooner wait a little longer for a camera than have to be constanly reprogaming new data. When I worked in the shipbuiding industry the engines were built fron scratch and assembeled and tested over weekks before they were sold onto the buyers this ironed out the flaws that might have shown in the tests and the problem if there were any corrected before the point of sale.

I'd rather wait too, but companies who have competing products to worry about, plus people shouting at them for long term bugs, etcSo there lyes the answaer take more time in getting things right before the release of the product.

I'd like to see a software upgrade for windoze and mac that will set the time and date on the camera to match your computers clock, then check for software/firmware upgrades automatically and ask you if you want to install it....
with the internet and computer tech where it is today, there are some things you should just be able to take for granted and not have to do manually.

Yeah you're correct, they used f/8 on the Canon and f/9 on the other lenses.
I believe the use the FA 50 f/1.4 that one peaks at f/5.6 and then gets worse.
The nikon 50mm seems to preform better at higher f-numbers.
They should have used the Sigma 30mm or 50mm and on the same f-number for the test.
failing that, they should have shot each lens at the f-stop where thier own testing shows the lens's best image quality... or even just split the difference and shot them all at the same aperture part way in between so they all had the same handi-cap like say f 6.3.Yeah you're correct, they used f/8 on the Canon and f/9 on the other lenses.

You can compare them now http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canoneos60D/page19.asp
The K5 does do it better than the D7000 but the photos look softer.
The D60 looks sharper then those two and the D50 looks even sharper.
Might it be the lens that's lacking?
there have been some bannings, and disputes goin on between depressing review and the other pentax forums...You can compare them now http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canoneos60D/page19.asp

one thing I read was a complaint that dpreview skewed thier test in canons favor by shooting thier tests at different apertures that had the canon shooting images where (previous dp reviews tested) the lens was at it's best aperture, and the Pentax and Nikon were shot at different apertures where dpreviews previous testing showed the lenses were not at thier best...
Who knows?

Hmmm
I wonder if he's related to Steve Irwin, he seems to be courting the same sort of risks
that isn't to say it is safe, just less risky...
I always thought if anything was gonna maul Roy, it'd be Sigfreid, but look what can happen even with a trained captive animal...
