  1. Hmmm. Any of those still available? I like the s20c feel
  2. So the 2012 version was made by Endo?
  3. Why did they opt to switch from s20c to s25c?
  4. Sony makes both sensors inside the D800/E and A7R
  5. Basically 5DIII - perhaps the better "camera". D800E - the far superior sensor (sony sensor).
  6. DX mode with proper vertical grip or AA batteries - 6FPS. You can use this camera almost anyway you want. 51pt autofocus in DX mode at 6fps and it's good sports camera. Best dynamic range on the market. 37mp (huge cropping ability) Focusing sees in color (5D MKIII only black and white) 14-24 - best wide angle lens on earth 24-70 - top two or three zooms on earth (in this range) 70-200 - top two or three zooms on earth (in this range). Some of the best ISO performance in RAW there is. Bult in Flash (5DMKIII doesn't have one) Most versatile camera available there is. Looks awesome, weather sealing, etc, etc. Menu banks suck and Ken Rockwell will tell you his 5DMKIII destroys his D800 but he's about the only one. 5DMKIII if you want all around excellence and usability and shoot jpegs, primarily. D800E if you want a special tool with unlimited flexibility and lasting power and shoot raws, primarily.
  7. Little compact pocket cam with great image quality - Sony RX100 II.
  8. Best overall camera regardless of size and if you're not a pixel peeper would probably be the 5DMKIII. Pair that with the 24-70 II (best zoom on the planet in that range) and a 70-200 F/4 or F/2.8 and you're laughing. If you want best overall camera and are a pixel peeper and don't mind large files it's the D800E - 14-24, 24-70, 70-200. Done. Zooms are great unless you're a pixel peeping elitist snob (which many photographers are and that's ok!). Other choices are definitely the new A7r - except auto focus isn't great, apparently and it uses OLED finder. And yes the new Otus is THE single best lens for an SLR ever made, hands down. I want one just to hold in my hands, lol.
  9. Tourstage 709MC. I can't imagine a better iron.
  10. I also have a D800E and it is almost flawless. It can do everything with all it's modes, cropping ability, FX/DX, color metering, 51pt (D4) autofocus system. Files are huge but who cares, a terabyte HD is becoming cheaper and cheaper.
  11. Too bad, their shafts are top notch and their customer service (replacing broken shafts) is also top notch. I don't know if it would make a difference but a new name and brand identity wouldn't hurt my feelings. I've never been a fan of the whole "Crazy" name and graphics, etc. As long as the "good guys" at Crazy stay employed in the industry, somehow, somewhere, is the main thing.
  12. "No highs, no lows, get Bose" is what they say. Don't do home theatre in a box. Mostly crap. Pioneer Elite, Yamaha Aventage, Denon, Marantz, Sony ES, Anthem, Cambridge audio, NAD, Arcam. All of those are solid choices for a receiver. For speakers, too many to list but check out audiogon.com for huge savings on well taken care of, high quality equipment that is far better money spent than buying a new home theatre in a box.
  13. Saw that exact Ferrari yesterday at Nobu in Malibu. Definitely the Ferrari!
  14. Thanks. The feeling is unbelievable. Truly the best I've ever felt.
  15. Haha thanks. I know what you mean!
  16. All really nice! Gocchin, is your Panasonic Navigation only available in Japan? It looks nice!
  17. Are those a new version of the Titleist Forged jspec wedges!?
  18. Of all the putters I've ever rolled a ball with (that would be a lot), this is without a doubt, the nicest feeling. Sad to be selling it but it's time. It's in 9/10 condition. There are a few light hair thin scratches but nothing that takes away from the stunning look and performance of the putter. Tour only, DASS (double aged stainless steel) Bettinardi BB2 with a copper coating. 33" Bettinardi white and gold grip. I paid $1899 for this. $1500 or best offer. Free shipping.
