Bodzash Photography and Astronomy: Nikon DF vs. D700 vs. D610 vs. D800: Which Should I Buy?
http://bodzashphotoastro.blogspot.com/2013/11/nikon-df-vs-d700-vs-d610-vs-d800-which.html
Wednesday, November 13, 2013. Nikon DF vs. D700 vs. D610 vs. D800: Which Should I Buy? Nikon has put potential buyers on quite a pickle by having so many FX dSLRs available in the $2000-$3000 price range. Right now, there's the nearly 2-year old D800, the just-released D610 (which is essentially a re-warmed year-old D600), and the brand new old school DF. Throw in 2008's D700, which is now a bargain shopper's model and, presto, lots of research to do! Well, let's examine that question. DF: metal, sealed.

Bodzash Photography and Astronomy: Canon 70D vs. 7D: Controls and In-Hand Feel
http://bodzashphotoastro.blogspot.com/2013/07/canon-70d-vs-7d-controls-and-in-hand.html
Monday, July 8, 2013. Canon 70D vs. 7D: Controls and In-Hand Feel. Should I buy a 70D or 7D? Well, let's have a look. First up: on the specification sheet,. The cameras are very similar. With the real differences coming down to construction quality, viewfinder size, and the 70D's new (untested) sensor. This all aside, there's another area that needs to be addressed: the controls and in-hand feel, which couldn't be more different. The 7D and 70D: top view. The 7D and 70D: back view. For more great stuff.

Bodzash Photography and Astronomy: What Was the Star of Bethlehem?
http://bodzashphotoastro.blogspot.com/2014/12/what-was-star-of-bethlehem.html
Thursday, December 25, 2014. What Was the Star of Bethlehem? Now that our time frame has been narrowed down, we can start looking to the sky.

As far as everyone else was concerned, heavenly bodies had special meaning. This is by no means more than a hypothesis. The Star of Bethlehem will probably never be conclusivel...
