Twilight of the DSLR?

wrote: See the huge discounts being offered by Nikon and Canon on their DSLRs? What is the precedence for this? It's not Christmas, it's not summer. Yet, some of the Nikons are 25% off (D610). Is something new coming, or is this an attempt to jump-start moribund DSLR sales levels? I didn't see them. I'm not camera shopping right now. I have seen discounts before on cameras and other items. The reasons vary greatly so no conclusion can be drawn. BTW, I was in a local warehouse club yesterday, and they had bottled water discounted by nearly 50%. I wonder is a newer improved water is coming and they're trying to clear their inventory? |

You didn't hear about it. They are now selling bottles of dehydrated water. Wow! you must keep up. ;-) -- PeterN |

It allows you to kill a thread or subthread when a trigger element is discovered. If, lets say that you wanna killfile "Mr Burns" then you can also killfile any respons to his posts too! Terrific right!!! http://tinyurl.com/pjnpjxq https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/pr...nload-install- and-migration -- teleportation kills |

One might think so, but that isn't the case. Given that the dehydrated water is in bottles, the volume shipped is the same as if they were selling hydrated water. Better to sell bits of paper explaining how to get water from one's tap because bottled mineral water is a ecological disaster and a hoax. Thousands of sheets of paper could be shipped in the space taken up by one case of dehydrated water. And each person would only need to buy one sheet and then remember what it says. 1.

It ships in flexible plastic bottles, that don't expand until the dehydrated water is hydrated. Saves a lot of counter space too.
