    I took this photo back in college, but I never bothered to dump off my photos off my SD card.

    Try to make a caption for this shot!

    I think the one that Nikon officially released is even funnier:

    Gives a new meaning to the "silver" edition LOL.
    Someone should make one out of onyx or obsidian for the "black" version ;)

    The Year of the Dog and the Lapita ones look quite tastefully done, but the others are just tacky.

    The Year of the Dog one actually looks like it's based on a FM2T, which is kind of cool.

    Charities/NPOs and donors to these charities more likely.

    Next one I found...
    ------------------------
    "A photographer walked into a fancy dinner party and the host came up to him and said "I love your picture..you must have a great camera."

    After dinner was done the photographer approached the host, thanked her for dinner and said "dinner was delicious, you must have a great refrigerator"
    This is really a funny story. It not only makes me laugh, and also let me into thinking.

    The two most important reasons I feel are Reason #2: You've studied gadget reviews, instead of photography and Reason 10: You have a camera that isn't the best for you. Both ring true for thousands of people here in Seoul where it seems that 10% of the population uses a camera for one reason or another. Often you see first dslr cameras ever owned as 5D Mark IIIs, D810 or Nikon D4s bodies. Fine for some but I believe the majority are fails once they use them in the field, if they use them at all here.

    Were you responding to a different thread...?

    I'm not exactly sure what reasons you're responding to.

    Edit- I found what you were talking about.

    I've stopped studying camera reviews for that reason. I'm not about to switch cameras any time soon, so there's no point in learning about cameras.

    About reason #10- My mom's friend started digital photography with a Canon 7D. She was so confused as she is the same age as my mom and she had some problems adapting to the user interface. She asked me for my help, but that was no use at all because I've never used a high end Canon DSLR. The best I could do was tell her how to work the ISO, aperture and shutter dials.

    Well #1 The D800 is 36.3 mp(not 36.0 as printed on the cup) and the picture looks sharp #2 The big mug has shinny blown out light over that one number so not so good. Maybe that is a indication on how it performs. :))

    I also noticed that blown out area...hard to read the info printed on the mug. I got a good laugh from your comment. Nicely done. =D>

    Thanks. This is the humor section. One more thing the D800 is also a CMOS sensor. I'm sure the 5ds is a great camera but I'll never know.

    OK, in the humor arena, a question:

    In the old days we had folks doing "cine" and "Stills". So, my thinking is about semantics.
    Is someone who shoots videos with a DSLR a photographer or a videographer or a cinematographer?

    :-? 8-| :-S

    It depends on which lens they are using. If it is a prime, they are really a photographer, if it is a high-end "cine" zoom, they are a cinematographer, if it is a kit superzoom, they are a videographer.

    Thats the best I can come up with anyway ;-)

    Ouch, but true.

    It isn't worth posting a new thread about Kodak, but I saw this and it's scary how much Rochester has lost after Kodak died.

    http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/22/business/at-kodak-clinging-to-a-future-beyond-film.html?_r=0

    There's a video in the link that talks about what's left in Rochester now that Kodak is mostly gone.
