December 2011

The above video is just painful.  I felt very bad for the 5D Mark II and its owner.

This video apparently did him some good though.  After racking up over 200K views (and counting) on Vimeo, Kurtis Hough updated in the comment section that B&H has offered to replace the camera for him.

Kudos to B&H.

Nikon D3100

B&H has a nice deal on the Nikon D3100 with 2 lenses, a 16GB SD card, a bag and Nikon School DVDs for only $743. The lenses are both VR models.  The deal is valid through Dec. 10.

I think the D3100 is a great camera and a real bargain with this kit at this price.  Check out my earlier Nikon D3100 review.
