hm... no.

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

srika

is duChemin a PJ or sports shooter?

srika

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:

Faith Hill Redbook retouch...

Zipho

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

einsatz

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.

Mizouse

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

anyone can pretty much shoot peak action.

srika

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

Billiam

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.

EuRTSX

I just took the MB-D10 off my D300.

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

srika

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.

srika

yeah looks like Panny is around $875.

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.

jupitersolo

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.

Mizouse

I have the U2410. I like it.

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

srika

i just freaked out about the 1B colors..

srika

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

Mizouse

I see myself getting another u2410 or 2

srika

jupitersolo

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.

Billiam

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.

jupitersolo

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

Mizouse

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.

Billiam

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.

srika

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.

jupitersolo

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.

srika

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.

jupitersolo

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.

srika

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

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

Mizouse

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

srika

damnit!!!!!!

Mizouse

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...

srika

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!

jupitersolo

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.

srika

yeah will do.
