There's a post about it on fredmiranda.com under the alternate
equipment area.  Nice to see competitive technologies keeping in the
game.

You fell for the latest misinformation attempt by the "preddy" troll.

How about the one about the 17meg Olympus DSLR that appeared on
the 4/3rds website?  Guy said he actually got to use one.

It's posted somewhere on the internet by someone, so it must be true?
You can do better than that, don't you think?

Are you really trying to have us believe you don't recognise a Preddyism
when you see it?
You're a bigger donkey than I thought.

Either that, or Rich is trying to pull a preddy on us himself.

Neither would be part of Sigma's announcement of a new DSLR.  They are
tight-lipped and will not announce it until it is available for sale.

I'm not privy to the machinations of all the Brit fishwives here.

Apparently you're not privy to bugger all.

Possibly do you mean he *is* privy to bugger all? Unless I've totally
lost it on Brit-isms, bugger all means naught, nothing. Unless you mean
he is privy to everything....

Inquiring minds,  sorta.

John, logically you're correct - bugger all usually means nothing, "there's
bugger all in my bank account" for example.  But in this sense peculiarly it
means the opposite, ie, you're not privy to anything. To be absolutely
accurate though, the whole sentence is a double negative, like "I an't got
nothing".   I'll shut up there before I confuse myself as well as you!  Any
other Brits watching may want to help me out here!  But I did mean he's
privy to nothing - as we all know.

Yes, thanks, I was clear on what you meant. Just didn't know if bugger
all was commonly used as "anything" or if your double negative was
unintentional. Anyhoooo, it's been a long time since I lived on the
Isles. Actually , the big one. N.of London. 18 mi. So, onto the next
one, as in "another one bites the dust", understanding, of course, that
probably no one is actually trying to eat dust.

A double negative in colloquial speech is used as a means of emphasizing
the negativity and not as a Boolean operator.

Yup. On the other foot, i've seen a lot of Americans use the phrase "I could
care less about..." as opposed to the version "I couldn't care less
about..." i'm used to. I don't know if this is an Americanism, but the
version I know seems to make more sense.
