don't even suggest it! I keep being threatened with either Jewelery or a Dyson if I buy any more camera gear!

You're lucky it's only a threat! Part of the cost of my D70 purchase was a comparably priced diamond ring... Oh well, I guess I've managed a lens or two since then without too much collateral damage

Hmmm this gives me an idea...
...I will have to add up all the "extra's" my future wife has been buying for our Oct 1st wedding and see what equipment I can buy.

I would rather put the money towards a second digital camera body or at least a deposit on a D2x.
Just think if we did not have carpets in Australia, you would not need one of these. Tiles and a mop and bucket would do.

If by "Men Only", you mean men only should read it not to give ideas to wives, well... maybe. But I think it's a bit of a dodgy subject. Showing a sucker as an example can lead to so many interpretations...I do not want to get too explicit to stay within the PG rating.
Cheers,
Gerard

If only this thing could take photographs! It's so damned beautiful! Why don't they make lawnmowers that look like this?

The Hardly Normal guy let you take photos?
I have the purple version, as there was no red version with racing stripes

Matt, dont even THINK about mentioning lawnmowers!! Whenever I have to use one, I spend the whole time cursing the damned englishman who invented the damned things!!
As for the Dysons, not only do they look great, but they work very well too... Even a Malamute in full blow doesnt slow our Dyson down!!
Oh, by the way. A tip for those who want to curtail the other half wanting one of these, just mention to her that the see-thru catch tank will let her see just HOW dirty her carpet really is!!

... that's exceptionally well marketed (btw congratulations on your new sales job Matt
) Seem to recall choice reviewed this not that long ago and found others comparable at lower prices.

Always happy to oblige, Peter.
And why use soap, when there's a nice brand new vacuum cleaner in the beginning of this thread waiting to clean that head out for you!
But wait! That's not all! Call now and you'll find out how it can do more than just clean out your head...

We have a Dyson at home...and Leigh I don't think you'd even want to try that. The Dysons are pretty powerful at what they do

Dyson are a great company. The long barrell on our Dyson vac was mysteriously snapped in two by unknown suspects (3 kids swear they were not in the country when it happened...mind you they were only 8 and 10 at the time)
I rang up the Dyson customer care line at about 6.30 pm on a Friday night and the lady was incredibly helpful. She sent a replacement part which I received the following Monday or Tuesday...No charge...no judicial inquiry...no blame... just great customer service. They are not paying me for this commercial. Wouldn't it be great if camera reparit companies were as responsive.
Go Dyson!
PS they are not a bad vacuum cleaner either.

Just getting on to the actual photograph ( something that seems to have been completely missed by all the lads attracted to the FOR MEN ONLY topic heading), I have to say that is a nice sharp photograph Matt.
However on looking at the photograph right hand side, there seems to be some reflections and I'm wondering if this is lens reflection or whether you took the photograph looking through a window or something?
Cheers
Graham

Very observant. It was a snapshot through a shop window. It was, though, glowing in soft light, which is why I photographed it.

Matt,
I think next time, get a naked FEMALE Model vacuuming
Invert it or B&W it & call it Art

I say, Mic does have a point although the female forum members may argue strongly for a naked male.
