Slow AF on D700 (mini review)
"....Internally, the D700 is very much identical to the Nikon D3 with the exact same 12.1 megapixels CMOS full frame sensor. Needless to say, it very much duplicates the same success of producing the beautiful low noise images that the D3 has been known for. Like the D3 and D300, the D700 also showcases a 51 point autofocus system with 3D tracking available locking focus to moving subjects. However, we found it rather sluggish in comparison and would only place it on par with Canon's 40D. In fact, we felt that the autofocus might even be a bit slower than the Canon 5D.....

It's difficult to understand how anyone who knows what they are doing could find a D700 to be significantly worse in AF performance than both D3 and D300.
I'll be waiting for one of the respected reviewers to post some findings after more than one day's inspection

It's the only one I have seen.
For the D700 to have worse AF than the Canon 5D, it would also have to be worse than the D300, which is universally accepted to have a more capable AF system than the 5D. That's just not credible.

It's nothing to do with whether I am right or not, and everything to do with the credibility of the reviewer. I'm not questioning you, just the source you chose to post.
Here's a quote from the initial testing by Bjorn Rorslett ("initial testing" in his case meaning about two weeks of hands-on experience):
I can detect no difference in AF performance from the D3. If there *is* a difference, it could well be on an academic level.

Bjorn isn't infallible, but he does have a great track-record of detailed and objective equipment tests built up over many years. Correct me if I'm wrong, but DigitalRev seems to be primarily a web retailer that posts quick impressions of selected new cameras, without naming their reviewer(s) or describing their testing methods.
I know where my money would go...!

As far as reviewing the reviewer, let me make a couple of points.
After Bjorn made the statement Brian quotes, he also said he is just starting his field testing, so he can't predict what surprises may be in store. Second, while I love his photography and his reviews, Bjorn does not, as far as I know, use his camera with a wide-angle lens on a lot of close, poorly lit moving subjects like a wedding or event photographer might. This seems to be the most challenging test of the D3 and D300 AF system.
In the tables comparing the D3 AND D700 I have yet to see anyone ask about the CPU - and I would bet this is probably the source of the biggest performance differences between the two cameras. I asked a question in this forum a while back about live histogram. The D700 manual answered that - there is no live histogram on the D700. I don't think this can be fixed with firmware - I think it is a CPU speed (i.e. hardware) problem. Here's why I think this: I don't have a D3, but Thom Hogan thinks that the D3 AF tracks better than the D300. Both these functions - live histogram, and AF predictive focus - require an extremely fast CPU. Based on information from his Nikon sources, Thom thinks that a faster CPU is the reason why the D3 is able to support live histogram and faster AF tracking than the D300. It seems apparent from the lack of a live histogram that the D700 does not have the D3 CPU, so it may well follow that the D700 will not match the D3's AF tracking performance.
In fact, if the D700 has the D300 CPU, it would be plausible that AF tracking (predictive focus) performance UNDER DIFFICULT CONDITIONS would suffer, since the CPU would have to process information for a larger imaging sensor using information from an AF sensor array that covers proportionally much less of the image area.
So my points are: Bjorn's (or anyone's) opinions on AF performance are limited by their test conditions. I would like to hear from some wedding and event shooters who try the D700 under the conditions I described. The other point is, it is not unplausible that D700 AF would be slower than the D300. Does anyone know what CPU the D700 uses?
I'll probably end up getting a D700 for landscape (wide-angle) work and for its low-light capabilities, but since it seems that more of my bread and butter comes from events these days, I may not be in such a hurry until I find out more about the AF.
(Edited to reflect what I learned by reading through the D3 manual. This is all very theoretical, but it's a good exercise that helps me understand my own equipment and alternatives better).

Good points, Steve - thanks for posting
Looking back on this, I think my disquiet with the review originally linked to was based on two factors...
Firstly, no information was provided about test conditions, subject matter, camera AF settings, lens(es) used, or indeed much else of value - just the bald "AF was found to be sluggish" statement.
Secondly, the thing that really raised warning flags in my mind was their view that the D700's AF may even be slower than a 5D. It doesn't bother me that a Nikon might (shock, horror...!) be slower than a Canon, but since the D300 is widely acknowledged (and not just amongst Nikon users) to have a more powerful AF system than the 5D, it is difficult to understand how the D700 could perform so much worse than the D300 for their conclusion to be true.
I have no problem with anyone concluding that the D700 has slightly slower AF tracking and/or acquisition than the D3 or D300, for the reasons you explained, so long as they can explain what testing was done

right. most people look at 40d and say "but that one has live histogram, why?"
could be a simple answer but i didn't see a reviewer say this. as Steve said it's about cpu power but also about display size. d300/d700 lcd has 922.000 dots, not 230.000 on 40d models. think about that, it's a lot more data you have to display on live view. to get live histogram you'd have to count the pixels while displaying the video at the same fps the display is updating. probably in order to keep the price low nikon didn't use exactly the same parts as on d3 for d300/d700. i also don't think it's a firmware fix unless there is also some change in the way it works. you know like with the virtual horizon that is now an overlay on live view but it wasn't before the firmware update.

Hi Steve
I used the D700 yesterday for a sport's shoot, and found little or no difference in AF performance compared to my D3. The loaned D700 was used with the 70-200, and a 400 mm 2.8 Nikkor. Shots were taken using continous servo with 9 of the available 51 sensors.
Hope this helps.

It is not unusual for a new camera's AF to be tweaked. For example, Thom Hogan commented on the recent firmware upgrade on the D300.
"Indeed, if you've got a D300 you should probably already have noted that there appear to be two unannounced differences with the latest firmware for that camera... Second, there seem to be improvements to autofocus tracking of some motions; I notice this especially in 51-point."

I don't see anyone else commenting who is actually using one. I have been using the D700 most of the day and I haven't noticed any difference in focusing speed than my D300. Of course, I didn't do any systematic testing... but I certainly didn't notice that it was slower.

that website did the wrong test. it's also very common to post all sorts of "interesting" information to attract visitors. ken does it everyday.
the AF on d300 is similar to 1d mkIII according to a reviews website. i don't have the bookmark but search the web and find the test. it was with a man running towards the camera and they checked how many images were in focus. sure that simple test was done to match 1d's tracking. they didn't test for color tracking or other nikon features for easy to understand reasons.
let's get back to this review.
d300 has a longer lag when starting Auto-area AF than D3 or other cameras like 40d. it could be power related like with fps and the grip. once AF is operational you get full speed for tracking. this was also mentioned on imaging-resource d300 review but not exactly detailed as what exactly is slower and what is faster. the conclusion was almost identical to digital-rev's that d300 is the worst possible on the planet (now you know how that reviewer get that idea ). the lag if i remeber was longer by .1-.2 seconds or something like that, not exactly end of the world. thom hogan noted that while the start-up lag is longer than on d3 the tracking is similar.
the different lag than on d3 has also been mentioned on some image doctors podcast.
take care with reviewers and use thom's suggestion for d300 " Get in the habit of starting focus early and you'll be fine."

funny thing is that if you believe prophoto's tests are ok then you'd have to believe that 40d is far behind d300 and so with d700
#13. "RE: Slow AF on D700 (mini review)" | In response to Reply # 0
I've had chance to have a quick play with one, but only a very quick play.
With older AF lenses, AF seems a shade slower than the D3, with AFS lenses, they seem about the same.
I'd guess that the D3 employs a more powerful motor for screw-driven AF lenses.

#14. "RE: Slow AF on D700 (mini review)" | In response to Reply # 0
Two days ago when I took few test shots in the store, I felt a slight difference in focusing speed with my 20-35 which is a screw driven lens. But as I've said in the other post, D700 (with ENEL-3e) being a low voltage body that's understandable.
As for that review .....after having a look at the pictures I'm sure that the camera would have been 'focusing' on the reviewer instead of focusing on the subject!

Just my observation from using the D700 all day on Saturday.
I was using the D700, D300 and F6 mostly with primes 35/2, 50/1.4, 85/1.4 and a 17-35 2.8.
The 85 to me is a slow focusing lens and it always seemed that the F6 focused it faster than the D300 for some reason, it just seems to have more torque, who knows.
The D700 seemed to focus this lens faster than the other two cameras, especially when snapping over to a subject and having it lock on.
Now the D300 does seem to be a little better now with the firmware upgrade, not sure if they made some changes, but it does seem to have made some kind of change for the better to it's speed.
So from what I saw this weekend for whatever the technical reason is, it did seem to perform slightly better than the D300.
Hope this made sense.

Absolutely correct! It's a lens issue, not a camera issue (unless the reviewer quoted by the OP had turned on every conceivable focus tracking feature and managed to find himself the most difficult to track subject he could dig up whle using a slow, cheap consumer-grade lens). With any sort of decent lens, my D700 focuses slightly faster than the already quick D200 and D300 and just as fast as my D3.
It's very difficult (if not impossible) to do cross-brand focus speed testing, but in a side-by-side test shooting the same subject, my D300+17-35mm f/2.8 was as fast or faster than my shooting partner's Canon 5D+16-35mm f/2.8 and his 40D+16-35mm f/2.8 during a mine-is-better-than-yours debate last winter. Basically, all three cameras proved to be really fast and the only reason either of us ever lost a shot on our most recent shoot was because we were too deep in conversation or too busy fiddling with controls instead of concentrating on shooting.
My D700 is as fast as my D3, which means they're state-of-the-art at this point for this form factor. Add a lousy lens to the equation and your results will be slower.

The D300 AF can be a little slower than the D3, primarily because the 3 times more expensive D3 has a more powerful CPU.
The D3 and D300 AF modules apart from the distance between sensors are close to identical so there is no obvious reason for AF speed to differ - with identical CPU's.
Nikon's D700 brochure claims the D700 is extensively based on the D300. Bearing in mind the D700 is twice the price of the D300 there is no reason to expect a less powerful processor than in the D300.
Digressing to Canon - those with hands on experience of Canon would fall over laughing at the implication in the review the D40 has slower AF than the 5D
This "review" (which is the opposite of a review) has all the hallmarks of garbage

#20. "RE: Slow AF on D700 (mini review)" | In response to Reply # 0
To me the reviewer's statement reads as though he turned on 51-point + 3D tracking and then compared focus acquisition speed to that of a 5D or 40D (neither of which have anything close to 51-point + 3D tracking focus options). In that situation, of course the D700 might show a slower focus lock. But if my interpretation of the review is correct, it means the reviewer's focus speed comment is foolish.
I just compared my son's 40D focus lock speed to my D700's. I put a 16-35L f/2.8 on the 40D and a 17-35 f/2.8 on my D700, both cameras on tripods side-by-side shooting our backyard bird house, both cameras in Program mode, 9-point focus mode for the 40D, 21-point focus mode for the D700. The D700 won at most apertures and every focal length.
Last month I did a focus speed and time to first shot test with my D300 (just traded for my D700) pitted against my shooting partner's 5D during a shoot in London. The D300 (using the 17-55 f/2.8 Nikkor against my partner's own 16-35L f/2.8 fave) beat the 5D every time, but not by as big a margin as the D700 just edged the 40D. We're talking small fractions of a second in every win/loss. I think, based on my non-scientific 'street' tests, that focus acquisition speed shouldn't be a deciding factor in any D700 purchase decision. It's measurably faster than the already fast enough 5D and the certainly fast 40D, but the difference is too small to merit more than a glance.
Dare I point out that all four cameras are terrifically quick to acquire focus, all things considered, and that the only reason my son and I (and my shooting partner and I) have ever missed shots is because we're too busy yakking or fiddling with gear - nothing to do with focus acquisition speed. Ever.
I agree with Len . . . the quote review isn't much of a review in any sense of the term.

As for the previous discussions about the CPU capabilities of the D700, although I don't have any definitive information about it, or the D3/D300 CPUs for that matter, the following seems logical to me:
Since the D300 has a maximum frame rate of 2.5fps for 14 bit RAW/NEF,
the D3 has a maximum frame rate of 9 to 11 fps for 14 bit RAW/NEF,
and the D700 has a maximum frame rate of 5 fps w/o grip, 8 with grip for 14 bit RAW/NEF,
there are three possibilities.
1) The D700 CPU is the same as the D300 and it has far more computing capability than is utilized in the D300, or,
2) The D700 CPU is the same as the D3 and has not been optimally utilized due to marketing issues to differentiate bodies,
3) The D700 CPU is different than both the D300 and the D3 and has more capability than the former and less capability than the latter.
4) All three bodies have the same CPU and are simply set to different levels of optimization.
While it's possible #1 and #4 are the answer, those really don't make economic sense, so I'll put my money on #2 or #3, but between these two, I'll call it a toss-up!

Check out my D700 vs D300 thread here:
My last post may shed some light on the matter of slow focusing, mainly because over a period of two hours last night my D700 slowly developed autofocus problems. It gradually became unresponsive to the AF-On button - sometimes requiring several button presses in quick succession to activate autofocus. I changed lenses (from a 24-70 f/2.8 to a 50mm f/1.4), but at first the D700 wouldn't focus at all. After turning the camera on & off a couple of times, autofocus suddenly came alive again. I then tried my 70-200 VR, but a similar thing happened - first nothing, then after a minute or so autofocus came alive. Tried all three lenses on my D3 and everything worked perfectly (and blazingly fast).
My D700 is going back to the store (Henry's in Pickering, Ontario, Canada) this morning for exchange. I should be at the store around noon today (Juy 29) if anybody local wants to meet to discuss the issue.
I checked for clean lens contacts (on the lenses and the body), found the same autofocus problem using the shutter button, reset the firmware (which seemed to momentarily solve the problem, but it quickly returned - within a minute), checked autofocus selector switch positions on the body, checked M/MA switch positions and tried several lenses, etc. The battery was fully charged and I tried a fully charged spare - no help - and I also checked the battery contacts (in the camera's battery well also). Could the reviewer quoted by the OP have been saddled with a flaky
D700 similar to mine?
This is the first time in over 35 years that I've had a problem with a new Nikon purchase of any kind.

Interesting. Is it possible that the D700 may have the same lens/body contact issue the D300 displayed? I have a 60mm nikkor lens I use with a D300 for medical photography. When first used, I had problems getting consistent contact between the lens and body, causing problems with focus and shutter activation. I've had no problems with other Nikon bodies I've used (F5,D70,D80).

I did the exchange just before noon today and the replacement D700 is flawless. I posted here, earlier, or in another thread about autofocus acquisition speed and how my first D700 seemed very fast (before the autofocus died obviously). Well the replacement is scary fast, so I'm a happy camper once again.

As the (former) owner of half a dozen EOS 5D's and most of the current Canon L lenses, I can't imagine *any* current DSLR having a slower (or less reliable) AF system than the 5D.
Clearly the reviewer who made that comment either never actually tested the D700, or simply had no idea how to operate the camera. Mine happily sings along at 8 FPS in continuous AF with my 200-400 VR (not the world's fastest focusing lens) without missing a shot.

I hate to inject a note of objectivity into this interesting discussion, but tests of AF speed have been done on all of these cameras. You might not agree with everything Pop Photo does, but they do have nice equipment and can measure AF speed, and they report specific numbers vs. vague, feelings and impressions. Check it out:
From the above you can conclude that the D3 and D300 are pretty close. The D700 is close only in good light, and falls behind in dimmer light.

Thanks for posting that comparison. I do, however, question the variences in the times, and other factors that could influence thsi test. Can we be certain that Pop Photo had the exact same camera settings on all 3 cameras? Also, look at the horizontal scale measuring EV light levels; on the D3 and D300 the scale stops at -3; on the D700 it goes one stop beyond -3. If you compare all 3 cameras at -3 (not just using the right side of the chart) they are nearly identical at .97 for the D3, .98 for the D300, .95 for the D700. Reading the chart carefully, it appears the three may be the same within a margin of error; if you want to readt it literally, the D700 is the fastest at -3. Remember look for the -3 vertical axis, not the right of the chart since the D700 measurement goes past -3 on the right.
Also remember at -3, some cameras won't autofocus at all without assistance!

Good point, Mark!
I don't know about the D700, but the D3 and D300 AF systems are intended to operate only down to -1 EV.
I would have a lot more faith in the Pop Photo numbers if they described how the cameras are set up and what methodology is used. It's very difficult to reduce a complex AF system like Multi-CAM 3500 to a single set of numbers. I will continue to trust our members' reports of very good real-world AF in the D700, and not worry about any apparent slight differences under test conditions

I agree. Maybe PopPhoto has documented their testing methodology somewhere, but I haven't seen it. I suspect it involves some kind of standard AF target and starting point, which is unlikely to tell us much about real-world performance.
Particularly suspect is that the D3 and D300 show almost identical numbers, but sports shooters who have use both have noted a distinct improvement in the D3's performance over the D300.
There are many characteristics of camera and lens performance that can be measured definitively on a test bench. I don't think AF performance is one of them.

The only vague article I found on PopPhoto describing their camera testing procedures (using Google's site search) is How to Read a Camera Test written in 2005.
Their "Certified Tests" are certified by whom? Apparently by their own staff.
#38. "RE: Slow AF on D700 (mini review)" | In response to Reply # 34
As someone has already pointed out, if you read the charts the D700 is just as fast as the others. They just extended the chart on the D700, possibly because it could actually focus at -5 EV if I read the chart correctly.
I always want the next model up!
#39. "RE: Slow AF on D700 (mini review)" | In response to Reply # 38Bufo55 Basic MemberFri 22-Aug-08 12:50 AM
Uhh, sorry guys, but take a closer look at the D700 chart. The only difference is that the EV number scale is not properly aligned with the graph. -3 is the far right on all of the graphs. Also check placement of data points on the graphs - they are all in the same place (if you align the scale properly). We all love Nikon, but lets not lose our objectivity. However, I do agree that test conditions and real world conditions are two different things. For example, I would think that a real-world target with lots of high-contrast edges might give better results than whatever test target they used.
So what do I learn from the graphs? For the first time for me at least, I see why it's hard to track fast moving objects in poor light - for any of the three cameras. A person dancing toward or away from the camera is probably not going to be still enough for the .8 or .9 sec necessary to lock focus and start tracking. Even more difficult if you're close and can't catch a contrasty edge.
My conclusion: not enough difference in performance between the cameras on paper to expect much of a difference in the real world. Same conclusion regarding the noise.
So I'll keep my D300 for events and hope I can afford a 20+MP FX for landscapes. If not, I'll get the D700 when the price drops.

OK, then the graph is in error, and I now suspect the accuracy of the others.
I believe what real-world D700 owners have been telling us; the D700 is as fast as the D3, likely laster than the D300 in some conditions.
Thanks Steve.

Somebody has thin skin here. Anyway, so far (one day of use) I don't notice any difference in AF speed with the D700 under normal condtions, any focusing mode and area, using Nikon 24/2.8, 35/2, 50/1.8/ 85/1.4 and 24-70/2.8. If there is one, it has to be in the order of milliseconds, and then who cares?
#44. "RE: Slow AF on D700 (mini review)" | In response to Reply # 43dgh3 Registered since 29th Jan 2007Mon 25-Aug-08 12:43 PM
The D700's graph's horizontal scale seems to be over-extended compared to the D3 and the D300, making the D700 appear as faster or faster than the others. But, I think the error is in the extension of the graph and not in the measures themselves. If one assumes that the 10 points measured are the same for all cameras, which seems reasonable, you get the following chart:
Point AF speed
1 .35 .29 .32
2 .36 .31 .33
3 .36 .38 .41
4 .61 .49 .51
5 .70 .61 .67
6 .78 .75 .78
7 .79 .70 .90
8 .95 .81 .93
9 .97 .85 .85
10 1.25 .91 .98
From this you can see that the D700 is a bit slower,but not hugely so, .1 sec. at most, until you get down to the lowest EVs, where it falls down by .3 secs. .1 is pretty small, but could make a difference for fast objects like flying birds, and action sports.
Also, I sent an email to PopPhoto asking what was up with the graph. Maybe they'll write back or correct it - we'll see.

Strange also that if you compare the noise tests results you can see that D700 has less noise than the D3 @ ISO 400, 800, 3200 but more @ 200, 1600 & 25600. The D300 has less noise @ 800 than both D3 & D700, and less than D700 @ 1600? Margin of error? What do these numbers represent?
100 .9 - -
200 .9 .75 1.1
400 1.1 1.12 1.2
800 1.3 1.4 1.1
1600 1.5 .93 1.4
3200 1.3 1.53 1.95
6400 2 2.23 2.83
Note: save the image & view @ 125 or 150% to see the details better.
Did they test AF-S or AF-C, 3-D tracking, how many AF points? How do they measure these hundredth of a seconds differences? Do they start off focus @ infinite, with which lens (screw or Silent Wave), on what target? What is their margin of error?

I can't talk to the AF tests, but unfortunately, the noise tests for the D3 and D300 were made in jpeg mode with noise reduction enabled, and the D300 noise reduction (which reduces detail) kicks in at a lower ISO than on othe D700 or D3. To make matters more confusing, they used a different NR setting on the D3 than the D300, but the D700 results were made in raw mode at an undefined setting, but probably processed in NX (my guess).
As an owner of all three cameras, the D3 and D700 seem to perform identically in terms of noise (not surprising), with the D300 definitely not in the same league (not bad, though). I haven't seen a noticeable difference in AF speed with the D700, but it's not something I can easily measure. Since it seems to work just fine, I'm not inclined to try to measure it, either.

Novel 'Mary Coin' based on famous Depression-era photograph
It is hard not to be drawn in by Dorothea Lange's iconic photograph called "Migrant Mother." The photo, a now ubiquitous image of struggling farm workers during the Great Depression, is startling in its honest depiction of poverty, strength and despair.
It was this picture, hanging in a gallery at New York's Museum of Modern Art, that inspired acclaimed writer and filmmaker Marisa Silver to pen her new novel, "Mary Coin." Like many other fascinated viewers before her, Silver imagines the moment that the government photographer (here called Vera Dare) approached the destitute family matriarch (Mary Coin) and asked to capture a moment of her life on film. »Read Full Article

The hosts dominated proceedings but top scorer Michail Antonio was guilty of missing several clear chances, while goalkeeper Carl Ikeme kept the visitors alive with some good saves.
Sylvan Ebanks-Blake lacked support up front for Wolves, while Antonio and Jermaine Johnson gave the hosts hope of an unlikely winner to no avail, despite the West Midlands club not being able to muster a single shot on goal.
Midway through the half Antonio crept in behind his marker as the ball was looped over by Jermaine Johnson, but Ikeme made a superb block with his feet to deny the Wednesday striker.
The hosts enjoyed an extended spell of pressure as a short corner saw Helan deliver to the far post, with Miguel Llera knocking it back but Reda Johnson's header was saved on the goalline by Ikeme.
Wednesday had the best chance of the half when Antonio found himself clear in the box after good work from Jermain Johnson and Kieran Lee, but a snap shot went inches astray.
Chances were at a premium for both sides, but the Owls found renewed spirit and Antonio was again at the heart of it, breaking quickly after a Wolves corner and laying off for Helan whose measured shot only found the side-netting.
Again it was the hosts who threatened as Helan's low ball was almost tucked in by Antonio at the near post but for Ikeme.
With minutes of normal time left, Doyle saw a fierce shot go narrowly over before substitute Gary Madine headed wide from a difficult angle.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Thank you to the Identity Theft/Fraud Research Group! They informed me of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. I was threatened SIX times in 2 days with court by JBC. My lawyer is loving this! Of course I reported them to the Federal Trade Commission as well as the Consumer Affairs of New Jersey.
By the way, it is not legal for them to threaten you with court unless they have given you thirty days to prove them wrong. They cannot scream or use profanity either! I believe each one is worth a $5,000.00 fine.

So...I'm having a problem.
I'm trying to get a customized version of Sky theme to work. Everything is working fine, all functionality seems to work...but after moving it from a test domain A to a live environment domain B problems start to occur.
In a gallery page my site doesn't show the featured image thumbnails anymore. It seems to be a timthumb problem generating an incorrect path/url. The test environment came up with "www.domaina.com/path/img.jpg"
The live environment comes up with /home/vhosting/h/vhostxxx/domains/livedomain.com/htdocs/www/path/img.jpg.
Now I'd like to change the path but I can't find out how!
The php stuff generating this thing is:
<?php print_thumbnail($thumb, $thumbnail["use_timthumb"], $titletext, $width, $height, 'portfolio'); ?>
I'm wondering where and how I can change the url generated by
I don't have a thimthump.php file in my theme or on my server, so I'm confused where the theme is getting the instructions from...where the hack is
["use_timthumb"] and how can I change it?
Any help/directions are appreciated!

I am certain we can give here a lot of recommendations but your best bet is to email or call Manfrotto or Bogen, the US distributor.

#2. "RE: Help Fix Manfrotto Head!!!" | In response to Reply # 0
This should be easy to recover from. I used to own this head and it would be easy to disassemble, but you don't need to if you're at all worried about doing it. Pick up a can of spray contact cleaner from a place like Radio Shack. You could also use lighter fluid if the you can't find the contact cleaner spray. Loosen the clamp so the ball can move. Hold the ballhead with a cloth on its side. Spray the contact cleaner at the ball & socket. Use short spray pulses and let the fluid drain around the ball onto the cloth. Work the ball around after each spray and wipe the ball as you rotate it. Try a couple of spray cycles, let the cleaner evaporate and check to see if it still slips. If you use lighter fluid, try wetting part of the cloth, cleaning the ball as you work it around and do a small squirt at the ball & socket joint. Drain the excess onto the cloth. Dry and test.I did something similar when I owned this head. The action isn't buttery smooth so I took it apart and put a little synthetic lube on the ball. The ball slipped just as you found out. I took it apart and cleaned it - back to normal. I gave the head away, but if I recall the setscrew just below the wingnut lets you get into the mechanism. It's very simple inside.The only way to make this head work more smoothly is to replace it with one that has a larger ball...Best luck,BJ

BJ:I am glad your experience helped with a much easier solution.I was hesitant to recommend Acetone, Methanol, Methyl Ethyl Ketone or more difficult to find compounds like Zep Aerosolve.
#4. "RE: Help Fix Manfrotto Head!!!" | In response to Reply # 3
The solvent in contact cleaner won't damage the finish on the ballhead (I don't recall any plastic parts inside), nor will lighter fluid (the recommended solvent for cleaning old leaf shutters safely). I'm not sure about other solvents for this fix-it.I'm glad my screw ups can come in handy on occasion BJ
#5. "RE: Help Fix Manfrotto Head!!!" | In response to Reply # 4
Thanks BJ and to all who replied. It works much better now, but the real test will be out in the feild. I do want the Pro Ball head but it cant fork over 200$ for it. Any suggestions on a better head w/ QR. Anyway thanks again to all !!!
#6. "RE: Help Fix Manfrotto Head!!!" | In response to Reply # 5
This head does the job pretty well within its load rating and it's a good size, so I'd suggest you hang onto it and when you can do it in the future, get a high quality ballhead. Watch for a deal on a used one too.BJ

Shopping / Streets / Areas, Dublin
45 Reviews
45 Reviews
Forget Henry st with its thrift cheap shops and O'connell st with its sleazy fast food restaurants, Grafton St is where you should be. Its a lovely pedestrianised streed with many people just strolling along to lap up the relaxed atmosphere. String quartets are popular here and many street entertainers will keep you occupied if you pocket isnt deep enough for the many boutiques on the street. Also take note of the side-streets off Grafton St. particularly clarendon- a really narrow little path down to a classy shopping centre called Powerscourt Centre. Most tourists gravitate towards Nassau St with its many tourist shops selling typical irish merchandise, irish crystal etc. House of Ireland is one such shop which is sure to give many gift ideas for the tiresome traveller whod like to get all their gifts in one session!!!
Your best bet for shopping North of the Liffey is along this long stretch starting at O'Connell Street and heading west on what starts as Henry Street and then turns into Mary Street and then Mary's Lane. You can also try Clery's off of O'Connell which is a large department store where I found some good gift items downstairs.
Grafton Street is a great street to shop. There are no cars and there are always plenty of people around, from street performers to flower sellers to tourists and locals alike. You'll find some great shops like Marks & Spencer and Brown Thomas to name only two.
What to buy: You can find it all here.
Grafton Street is one of Dublin's main shopping streets. You will find everything there from department stores to boutiques, fast-food restaurants, internet cafes and gift shops. At the Stephen's Green end there is a big shopping centre, and a smaller one (Powerscourt Centre) is just off Grafton Street. The area is pedestrianized, and usually street musicians and other performers are out in force along the street.
This picture was taken early on a Sunday morning, by the way. Expect a LOT more people here once the shops are open.
Directions: Between Trinity College and Stephen's Green
Grafton Street contains upmarket stores such as the posh Brown Thomas department store. It's closed off to traffic so it's usually heaving with people. I was there in April and there were flower stalls and market stalls selling various items including jewellry at prices that were a bit more reasonable. Bewley's Cafe is on Grafton Street and is famed for it's breakfast, albeit at an inflated price. Marks and Spencer's is there as well. At one end is St. Stephen's shopping center, across from St. Stephen's Green and at the other end is Temple Bar and Trinity College. There are lots of good shops and restaurants along Grafton Street and the smaller cross streets. There are buskers there on the weekend as well.
What to buy: Some prices may be a bit high but there are some interesting shops to have a browse in.
Grafton is the main drag for shopping in Dublin. Think Newbury street for all you Bostonites. Some street performers too. I didn't do any shopping while there, but the St. Stephen's Green mall seemed pretty cool too. I found it more fun to wander around and try to find cool little stores where I didn't buy anything anyway due to lack of euros.
What to buy: Shop for Aran sweaters (sheeps wool), Guinness memorobilia, and cool music/clothes (Dubliners were very well dressed).
What to pay: Comparable to US or UK prices depending on what you buy.
Address: Grafton St., St. Stephen's Green
Temple Bar is a street (unlike what the name might suggest) and is probably the most touristy place in Dublin. I suppose it's interesting with cool shops and all but I usually tried avoiding it.
If it's interesting shops you're after I suppose I'll have to recommend Temple Bar but then again, if it's interesting shops your after, you're probably in the wrong country.
See my "Tourist Traps" section.
Grafton Street is one of the hotspots in Dublin. It's a pedestrian street with shops lined on either side. In fact, all the little side streets from Grafton is equally nice for shopping or just strolling.
It's the fanciest and most colourful shopping center in Dublin.
You can find all kind of shops - clothes, souvenirs and everything you want.
What to pay: Take into consideration that everything on the south side of the Liffey is more expensive, and so is Grafton Street.
It has a great collection of all your high street shops but all in one place and not all spread out. Plus, if you're travelling out from the UK, a lot of the stuff when you work out the exchange rate is actually quite cheap.
Always seems to be buzzing. A couple of great street stands selling celtic style silver jewellery, always nice as a gift idea!
What to pay: Mostly less than UK
Address: Grafton Street
Directions: Between Trinity College on the north end
and St Stephen's Green on the south end.
Although I didn't buy anything here... it was recommended and it looked and SMELLED fabulous!!
What to buy: Chocolate, solid and liquid.
What to pay: Can you put a price on 1st class chocolate??
Address: http://www.butlerschocolates.com/butlerscc/cafeloc
Directions: There are 5 shops in Dublin, Nassau St, Grafton St and at the Airport.... check the link above for the others.
In the US we have our dollar stores, and I guess this is the equvilent in Ireland! I'm sure that these 2 Euro stores can be found everywhere, but I still thought it was kinda funny.
There are plenty of shops in Grafton Street to buy anything you want.
What to buy: Clothes, Books, CD's, Memorabilia, etc.
What to pay: From 5 to 000000000000 IEP
Directions: Grafton Street
The main area is for the serious shopper, with a cosmopolitan array of shops and cafes, ranging from exclusive boutiques to department stores, with Street buskers adding to the atmosphere
Address: Grafton St/ O'connell St
Northside - Henry St, Jervis St, Lower O'Connell st. If you are on a budget - Talbot St, North Earl st
Southside - Grafton St. Stephens Green, Wicklow St, Aungier St, Georges Arcade.

HARTFORD, Conn. — After a horse named Scuppy bit a boy in the face, a Connecticut court came to a conclusion that threw animal lovers: Horses are a naturally vicious species.
Horse owners and farmers are mobilizing as the state Supreme Court hears an appeal in the case Tuesday. Such a classification — the nation's first, if it stands — would make owning horses uninsurable and jeopardize the state's sizable horse industry, farmers and horse owners say.
"You could not pair children and horses, the core equestrian business nationwide that it's all about," said Doug Dubitsky, a lawyer who represents farmers and horse businesses.
When the boy tried to pet the horse at Glendale Farms in Milford in 2006, according to court papers, the animal stuck his neck out from behind a fence and bit the child on his right cheek, "removing a large chunk of it."
In February 2012, the mid-level Appellate Court overturned a lower court ruling and said that testimony by Timothy Astriab, whose family owns the farm, demonstrated that Scuppy belongs to "a species naturally inclined to do mischief or be vicious."
Although he had no knowledge of Scuppy biting anyone before, Astriab testified that Scuppy was no different than other horses that would bite if a finger was put in front of him. "Significantly, Astriab acknowledged his concern that if someone made contact with Scuppy, whether to pet or feed him, they could get bit," the justices said.
The injury suffered by the boy was foreseeable and the owners of the farm had a duty to use reasonable care to restrain the animal to prevent injury, the Appellate Court ruled.
Astriab did not return a call on Monday seeking comment.
If allowed to stand, Connecticut would be the first state to consider horses as inherently dangerous, said Dubitsky.
Horse farmers and equine enthusiasts, who cite 2005 statistics saying that the horse industry contributes about $221 million a year to the state's economy in boarding, training, lessons and breeding businesses, are asking the state Supreme Court to overturn the Appellate Court's decision. The Connecticut Farm Bureau and Connecticut Horse Council filed a friend of the court brief saying that under common law viciousness generally is judged individually according to age, breed and gender, not as an entire species.
"Here, there was no evidence that Scuppy was of a specific class of horse with a widely known propensity to cause mischief or be vicious," they wrote.
Astriab had won at a lower court in 2010, when a New Haven judge sided with the horse's owner and ruled that the child's father, Anthony Vendrella Sr., failed to prove the owner knew of previous incidents of aggression by Scuppy.
The Superior Court judge said Astriab testified that neither he nor anyone else had ever seen Scuppy bite a person before and that in 28 years, none of the horses at the farm bit or injured anyone.
"Cats have a tendency to scratch and horses have a tendency to bite, but the plaintiffs have failed to show, as they must, that the defendants were on notice that Scuppy specifically, and not horses generally, had a tendency to bite people or other horses," Judge Robin Wilson ruled.

I've got an 8 input mixer, lots of microphones and logic 9. We can record anything you can think of.
I help kids discover their love of music through a hybrid of guitar, songwriting, singing and recording. Lessons are song-based: they learn to play and sing, but also to notice the patterns in music and find out what makes it tick.
We also work together to record covers of their favorite songs… Which introduces them to process of recording, allows me to introduce different elements of sound production in a hands on way, and overall builds excitement and commitment to continue pursuing music. Teaching a variety of mediums at once prevents kids from getting bored and giving up, and my weekly practice charts allow them to track their progress between lessons (and allows the parents to validate and potentially give rewards for diligent practicers).
I have experience working with kids at a variety of different levels, including kids with autism and other developmental disabilities. I worked for 3 years in a Head Start classroom, which required me to work with a wide array of students

You could call the Castle Donington Distribution Centre our largest single store. The scale and size of this operation is impressive. It's 900,000 square feet. It holds up to 16 million products - and it's capable of processing a million items a day. At the heart our growing eCommerce business, is a team of dedicated, conscientious Operatives. Each one understands that the next person to receive their package will be the customer – and, that wherever they are in the world, our customers expect the seamless, quality experience that is the hallmark of M&S service.
Warehouse Operatives
This is one of Europe's largest state-of-the-art distribution facilities. So expect to work with cutting-edge technology and receive dedicated training. With an operation this vast, there's a wide range of areas to work in. Many Operatives enjoy the opportunity to move around the business – to learn new skills, gain new experience and progress their careers. We make it our priority to develop you, hone in on what you're good at and support you to achieve your aspirations. The extra responsibility is there for the taking if you want it. In fact, many of our colleagues who started out as Operatives have become team leaders, or moved across to one of our many support functions. Below are the areas you could find yourself working in as one of our Operatives.
Joining our team
We are currently working with Blue Arrow to recruit Operatives on our behalf. When you click the Apply Now button below, you will be taken to the Blue Arrow site where you can apply for the job online and submit your CV. If suitable, you will be contacted via telephone to go through a five minute pre-screen questionnaire which will allow us to find out more about you and your capabilities. If you're successful at this stage, you'll be invited to attend an on-site interview.
Operative Departments
This is where we receive goods into our store. You'll unload them carefully and ensure they are accurately sent to destinations all over the centre.
Repack (PPP)
Our pick auto systems are technologically advanced and highly efficient. Here, you'll take boxed products from inbound and distribute them, making sure the pick auto systems stay fully stocked.
Pick Automation
Our 'Pick-by-Light' system uses light displays to help with stock picking. This is cutting-edge technology and we've found it to be the most efficient way to pick as it brings the products to you. This is where we also collate retail and customer delivery details.
Pick manual
Occasionally, stock needs to be picked manually. In this department you'll collect bulky or unusually shaped items and take them to where they need to go.
This is where you'll carefully pack customer orders and prepare them for collection at one of our stores (part of our 'shop your way' service) or have them delivered directly to the customer's home. As the last person to touch the item before the customer, you'll make sure everything's as you would want to receive it - perfect.
This is the final stage – loading trailers safely and efficiently for their onward journeys. You'll see packages on their way to regional distribution centres to stock up stores or deliver 'shop your way' parcels. Or you'll despatch customer parcels directly to our customers' homes.
