hm... no.

more like the shot that makes the requirements set by the editor and ends up being published.

 

is duChemin a PJ or sports shooter?

 

he posted a response, you know these days many people try to stand out by going "viral" with something on teh intarweb, personally I think that's all he was doing. And, it worked, he turned heads, he got some extra notice, new followers, etc.

clearly I was not alone in my thinking.

edit: I posted the above before even reading the final part of his latest entry:

i wish i had known about this event, i wouldve gone...

Faith Hill Redbook retouch...

 

that retouch is pretty drastic, that must be good for the self esteem.

those videos are always cool to check out, my favorite one

http://www.vimeo.com/7058755

I love the use of dof through out the scenes

 

Those vids seem to all pump up the contrasts and mess with the tint in PP. It's a cool look for some darker club and auto show scenes, but it gets old.

 

yea, i find the non-action shots a little more interesting than the peak action shots

anyone can pretty much shoot peak action.

 

S90 is on sale at J&R.... damn I feel like buying. but i prolly wont.

I think I'll end up with that new Olympus pen

 

Anything particular about the Olympus that keeps attracting you vs. the Panny equivalents? Just curious.

On a side note, I've seen multiple people mentioning that they liked the Panasonic 20mm f/1.t pancacke lens on their EP-1 so I don't see why it wouldn't also be nice glass for the EP-2.

 

I just took the MB-D10 off my D300.

Holy crap it's so much lighter -______-;

 

well I think the Olympus is 599 and the Panny is 799 or 899. And the pen is smaller. Those are the two main reasons. I like that 1.7 pancake too, I would most likely get that.

 

yeah looks like Panny is around $875.

whoa, anyone have this?




U2410’s 12-bit internal processing not
only helps deliver 1.07 billion colors
resulting in excellent color details and no
loss in tones and hues, it also provides
a high dynamic contrast ratio which
helps produce amazing and vivid
color details.

 

I think this is the one that I read about on engadet about two weeks ago. They said it's good but not as good as the 27" new that matches Apple's iMac screens.

 

I have the U2410. I like it.

And it came out about a year before the new 27" one from Dell.

 

i just freaked out about the 1B colors..

 

I see myself ringing up that 27" later this year...

 

I see myself getting another u2410 or 2

 

 

Then the one I was reading about is not the U2410.



I have a SX2210 BNIB if someone's want's to buy it. Came with computer, but I won't use it. It's a $250, I'll sell for $200 shipped.

 

Isn't the 27" the same panel that was causing yellow screens on the 27" iMacs? The last I read of that issue on the Apple front was that the problem was caused by a manufacturing defect in the panel itself. I'd be very hesitant to by the Dell monitor if it indeed is using the same panel.

 

Haven't heard any bad press/reviews for the U2711.

hmm... ok im a little off..

the U2410 came out around august 2009.


the U2710 came out around jan/feb of this year?

i think i was a little confused because i heard about the U2410 a long time ago.

 

FYI for anyone reasonably serious about using a Canon for video. I'm pretty sure somebody mentioned this back when Canon announced it, but now it's actually released.

so I think Ive given up on the 4/3 camera quest, I've decided that I don't want to get one and then have to build up (costly) lenses for it. I'd rather use that dough elsewhere. I think I'll get the S90 instead.

 

I don't think you'll have to build up a lot of lens for it. A fast prime, like a 20mm and a zoom, would be all you need.


I read about many of Nikon guys that have bought them though, most do what I've done, a D90 or D5000, after they have tried a 4/3rd or even a p&s.

 

oh also I read the new Olympus Pen focuses considerably slower than the Panny. I think that would bug the hell out of me. This old Nikon E4500 focuses slow as hell and it bugs me lol.

I guess I wanted a camera I could put in my pocket. But maybe carrying around a small SLR ain't so bad. Maybe I should look at that D5000.

 

I think you're going to be so use to a dSLR that a p&s just isn't going to cut it for you. It was the same way for me when I got that G9 two years ago. Sold it as soon as I got back from my trip.

 

damn, so now im looking for D90's on CL...

D5000 sounds kinda lacking. I do like that swivel screen tho

 

T2i/T1i, so you can use your existing canon lenses?

 

damnit!!!!!!

 

i still want to pick up a S90, because there are times where even something small like a rebel or even those bigger ultra zooms are too big to carry around...

 

yeah. i think ill get the S90. I really want a small cam. and i will not expect SLR quality. I wont! seriously. its a very good cam!

 

Better IQ w/o a few bell and whistles than the D90. Will be faster than a p&s though. Go to a store a mess with the S90.

 

yeah will do.
