I'd be curious to see if there were any crossover from the camera manufacturers. e.g. Canon makes a new P&S that includes a SIM to allow you to send your photos straight to facebook when taken.

Okay, gently caress it... from now on, my S90 is my daily walkaround camera, not my DSLR Yeah, I love the images from my DSLR, but the S90 comes pretty drat close for walkaround photos. And even in lowlight, it works surprisingly well because of the IS The S90 weighes 200g including case. It is silly to carry around 1.5kg* all day to take a dozen photos, it is just not worth it (body:500g, 18-50:450g, Grip:250g plus bag)

Moist von Lipwig posted:Almost definitely a gimmick I think. Still an interesting idea. Beastruction posted:Replace the film pressure plate with a sensor, attach a small generator/capacitor to the film advance so you don't need awkward battery packs, put an SD slot where the film cartridge would go. Easy! How much of a technical impossibility, is it? Put aside the commercial considerations for a moment. You wouldn't need a big battery pack, since the majority of the power requirements are the shutter/mirror actions, plus the LCD backlighting. With 32GB microSD, there's plenty of room for memory. How thick does a sensor have to be? This says that you can have small sensor 0.39mm thick http://documents.irevues.inist.fr/bitstream/handle/2042/16890/dtip08201.pdf?sequence=1 I think that's thin enough to fit against the back plate. (let's ignore the economics that would make designing a large, flat sensor totally impractical) I can see that squeezing the chips into a volume the size of a film canister is going to be tricky, since they are usually contructed on flat planes. I'd guess that the biggest issue is that you couldn't sync the sensor to the shutter.

With touchscreens, I might miss button A and B only registers a single press. It's too unreliable for Serious Photographers. I think it is Samsung who have a rows/columns alongside the LCD and their function and label changes with the context. That seems a reasonable compromise for a lot of people.

Just to depress you further: It has been known for theieves to return to the same place a few weeks later and steal all the new stuff that was bought with the insurance money. (Which, unfortunately, you will not have) I hope that this doesn't lead to sleepless nights, but at least get the landlord to boost the security there.

After the summer, I can't decide on what to do, and if I want to keep the Fuji or not. Funny that this conversation has just come up: I am sitting in a coffee shop in Kuala Lumpur, having decided to do my whole trip with only an S90. Honestly speaking, I am very happy with it and don't feel my photography will suffer without the dslr. I have a tiny littpe tripod for night work. So far, only low light interior shots of people suffers a little as i cannot freeze them well.

AceClown posted:Bit of a specific one this but does anyone know what the rules are for photographing on hospital property in the UK? Aren't hospitals private land that is owned the relevant trust and therefore they can make their own rules? Practically, of course, if you want to take photos in the carpark, you will need permission of the hospital management and inside a ward, you will the ward sister's permission.

AceClown posted:Yeah, I think thats the case. There are some really funky long corridors I was wanting to shoot, not patients so I may just ask at front desk and see if they have any issues, hell they put up all kinds of local art and amatuer poo poo on the walls so I may even offer to send them a copy of any good shots I get if they allow me to photograph the archetecture. I suspect that they will either tell you 'no' or to write a letter to the management, who will then tell you 'no'. Privacy is a big deal in hospitals and there's not much benefit to them in letting you take photos, and a lot of downsides. But give it a go...maybe they will have an event (kiddie's day) that they'd be okay for you to take photos of for their newsletter and you can tack on some interior decor shots at the same time. There's nothing to lose in trying, but really don't get your hopes up.

It doesn't help that Health and Safety has gone a bit silly, either, with requiring a hard hat and high visibility vest for making a cup of tea. You used to be able to sign up for guided tours of abandoned Underground stations, but they stopped that for H&S - I really kicked myself for missing out on that. There's a lot to be said for following the creedo 'It's easy to beg for forgiveness, than ask for permission'and just doing it and hoping you can get away with it.

I believe MMC is a film Leica user. In my opinion, there is a world of difference between the excellent film Leicas (a way of getting highest quality shots on 35mm film, in a small package) and the digital Leicas (a way of getting pretty good shots in a smallish package) The films Leicas filled a quality/size niche - yes there were overpriced, but at least they were very good at that niche The digital Leicas have been much more about appealing to a certain market segment, rather than providing the best quality image/durability. I'd say that the M9 is the first one that really deserves the Leica name

poopinmymouth posted:Not a very good analogy. Haagen Daaz repeatedly wins taste test scores. Even in Germany, where they know chocolate, Test (think consumer reports, but not sponsored) rates Haagen Daaz as the best ice cream in several flavor categories, and in the top 3 in basically all of them. It's a very very very tasty product, and in food, that matters. It could still be overpriced, but it isn't just generic vanilla with a better label and marketing stategry. I think you may have misunderstood my point a little: I am suggesting the HD effect in combination with the previous points raised by Haggins, Captain Postal and Rated PG-34: i.e. a high quality product, with an expensive sensor (because of size) and the higher production cost due to short production runs, all combined together makes for an expensive camera. Once they costed it up, they made a marketing decision to bump the price a little higher and make it a more desirable product and so drive sales. In much the same way that at first, HD had a superior ice-cream at about market price and failed to make significant sales. They then doubled the prices and sales rocketed because of the perceived value.

The new pentax Q looks pretty cool: http://dpreview.com/previews/pentaxQ/  And small:  Tiny, actually  Ooh, tempting. Makes the X100 look like a brick. Oh wait, shall we check if it is full frame? quote:The Pentax Q is the smallest interchangeable lens camera on the market. And, just like the company's famously diminutive Auto 110 SLR from the late 70's, it achieves this by embracing a smaller format than its peers. Being built around a 1/2.3" sensor, the Q is a fraction of the size of even the smallest existing mirrorless cameras and is the first really pocketable model Oh.
