I might not be reading everything really well, or maybe I just don’t read enough Web sites/blogs, but why are people angry with Kenote photographs? And what are they hating?

I have a D70 and LOVE it. Thankfully I haven’t had any issues with the shutter speed (knock on wood!) but I wouldn’t trade my camera for anything.

Sorry to hear about your camera problems. I have a D50, and so far have not had any problems with the shutter. I love my camera. I bought Nikon because I heard about it here, and at Dooce.

As much as the D70 costs, the kind of problem you’re having is unacceptable.

Thanks for the recap of the conference and the links! I really enjoyed linking to the interview between Heather and Jason Kottke the first time you linked it, while you were down there.

I can totally understand your trepidation about meeting fans– but it sounds like it was a great experience. I really loved the idea being thrown around on Dooce about a tour. Might be a great way to make money, too. Have you guys thought about it? Of course, Leta is very young…

And thanks for the info about the camera. Very good to know.

Can’t get enough of that Iron Cactus, I say.

I’ll be going back to the North Austin location this Sunday courtesy of Microsoft.

Dress code: flamingo.

Menu: fish tacos. What else?

Dooce was a contributing factor in our D70 purchase as I commented before:

We are very pleased with our D70 and its compatibility with the bevy of lenses we were able to use from our N50 set up. I am convinced if you are going to spend that much for an SLR body, buy the heaviest one. Not to scientific, I know.

I know.

Not to take the conversation off of cameras and back to SXSW or anything, but does anyone out there know if there is more video footage of of blog-related discussion sessions?

I’d also be *extremely* interested in finding out if there is video or audio recordings of the Bloggie awards. I’m a contributor to The Movie Blog podcast, which won for Best Podcast of a Weblog, and I’d like to hear them announce the award!

I have a D70 and I have never had any problems with mine (knocking on wood), however I work at a camera store & read nerdy camera forums about the D70 and know that some of them do have problems. IMHO, it seems that’s just something inherant with digital technology, that some models do malfunction. Canon SLRs are nice cameras too- as are their lenses, so if you switched camps, you’d probably be quite happy with their products. Personally, I like Nikon’s SLR camera body & lens design better, plus the high quality of their lenses, but again, usually people are either in the Nikon camp or the Canon camp, and really everyone wins in the end.
