I tested the link, and it seems to not lead to the entry, it leads to the follow up after one enters. Maybe you can find your way to the entry page.
I would delete this post, but there may be some savvy folks who can do it, no harm in trying.

Luckily, they lost me on the having to like them on Facebook, so I didn't have to read all the way through.

But a new camera sure would be nice.

I would certainly accept the D800 if I won, but I would rather have a D4S.

I never "like" any commercial enterprise. I might make an exception for this one, but I know I will be sorry. I always am when I go against my gut.
