Re: Interesting discussion of RAID

If I had bought the 6 bay machine I'd be using raid 7, but with the 5 bay box I'll likely use raid 6. My Drobo is set up to allow two discs to fail, and I like the extra redundancy. The only thing I wish I had been able to do was buy discs a few months to a year apart so that if the manufacturer

Body styling is obviously an important part of how a camera works since you have to hold it to use it. I'm not a fan of retro per se as much as I'm not a fan of modern styling for the sake of being different. Body styling also affects compactness as a dove bar will slide in your pocket whereas

Re: No discussion of the Olympus OM-D ?

For me the styling is unimportant. Retro that works is controls and ergonomics. Since it's a m43 camera I doubt it will allow the use of legacy lenses better than any other m43 system camera so I'm not particularly excited. I don't own any OM-Zuiko glass anyway, but many were outstanding

Re: No discussion of the Olympus OM-D ?

Agreed. I like my old cameras because the controls worked so well. The presence of automatic modes makes these controls an afterthought, and this becomes clear when you use the camera. Most shots work fine on auto but that actually makes it worse. You don't' use the manual controls as often, and

Re: FA*24 Discussion and Responses

I apologize if you found my response to your post offensive. However, I was only pointing out some things that struck me as fallacious. I enjoy a good debate and will sometimes challenge the opinions of others. I'm one of the old curmudgeons here, and I can be abrasive at times. Hope you stick
