Nikon

• Price
• Lack of Choice
• Lagging Behind Canon
• Collaborating with SONY on the sensor

Price - Comparing with Canon

• Entry Level Full Frame - $2,217 (D700) vs $1,869 (5D)
• Top of the Line - $7,995 (D2x) vs $3,741 (1D Mark III) / $3,900 (5D Mark II)
• 24-70mm f/2.8 - $1,440 vs $1,170
• 70-200mm f/2.8 - $1,600 (VR) vs $1,488 (IS)
  

Choice / Selection - limited, very limited.

vs Canon - Canon has really got a head start on this whole digital revolution.

Sensor Ownership - I am sure Nikon has their own strategy on this one, but I feel that sharing ownership of this critical aspect of the product cannot be a good thing.

flickr

Yes, I am quite frustrated with flickr :o( Most of the frustration is from my own experience with flickr (and most of it having to do with searching for my pix) but some of it also comes from various complaints my friends have had and which I have NOT had luck fixing.

Here's a list of my "bugs":

• Trying to find all pix with a certain tag often not getting any pix
• Searching for text in the Tags ONLY never works
  

And here are a list of features (missing all together or designed inconveniently etc) that makes using flickr extremely difficult (if NOT outright useless):

• Update Multiple pix (yes, I am aware of the things that I can try to do in a batch)
• Sharing Limitations
• Poor / limited presentation style
  
• Inverse Search
• Only 1 Default Order to Show Pix (most recent uploaded first) - would be nice to be able to set the default view order to be Most / Least Popular (Viewed | Commented | etc)
• Automatically add to / remove from Groups (based on tags | EXIF data | etc)
  

The following are little less irritating, but poorly designed:

• Archives listing of Photos "Taken On" and "Posted to Flickr" columns are static and does not have to option to change order or collapse or align by year / month of year. I happen to have started posting to flickr in Jan '04, but I've got photos from earlier days that I am starting to post and already my "Taken on" column is 50% longer than my "Posted to Flickr".
  

And this / these are in the "I have no idea what's happening" category:

• View Count

Most of the issue my friends face / experience has to do with "uploading" in some fashion. Some examples are:

• Upload NOT completing
• The uploadr not working reliably
  

Other issues include:

• Not being able to upload & archive my pix at FULL Resolution

Some of these frustrations stem from the fact that I have used "Gallery" in the past and it allowed for some really cool features (mostly related to permission, to an individual user and / or to custom group, based sharing).

FB Login Saga Continues :o(

It seemed like I might have stumbled on the root cause (enable cookies on the browser) and got it fixed. But apparently I was mistaken.

It's still broken.

Facebook Login Issue

Not quite sure what's happening, but I've been having all kinds of issues trying to access FB lately. I keep getting the following message:

I have tried logging in from various browsers (Flock, Firefox, ie, Safari) on both Windows (XP and Vista) and Mac. But neither the browser nor the OS seem to make a diff :o( So, unless proven wrong, I'm blaming it all on FB.
