For Kindle users, Calibre does a good job of converting to the .mobi 
format and Amazon has a free app called Send to Kindle that will 
upload to your Kindle.  Send to Kindle also shows up in your printer 
list and will convert documents to PDFs and upload them to your Kindle 
as well.

Just a heads up for those doing the same who don't have an ePub reader yet...

Calibre serves as not only a reader, but can also convert from a huge
number of formats to a huge number of formats. It supports all the
major e-book formats. The full list of formats can be found here:
http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/faq.html#what-formats-does-app-support-conversion-to-from

Pretty handy for a free program.

have a sale going on via discount code virtually all the time. (This
means they've basically kept their prices the same while giving the

Sorry, this promotion cannot be be applied to books you did not author.

And with all the other codes I find, there is _always_ a reason they

As I was checking out, there was the option of getting a 30%discount on 
a second book.  I don't know if there is a chance to revise the order,
or cancel nad reorder, but if there are people who live near each other,
you could probably save a few bucks by piggybacking two orders like that.

Calibre serves as not only a reader, but can also convert from a huge

By the way: Let me know if you have any trouble with the ebook. I've
tested it on my Android tablet using FB Reader and it works great. I
can also read it on my desktop computer in Adobe Digital Editions. 

If it pauses for a while when you get to section 4 it's because it's
loading all the photographs into memory and this can take some time.

Other notes: I've improved the ebook design a little this year and
I've made the images a little larger (while restricting them to 1000
pixels in the longest dimension - I don't feel comfortable about
giving away higher resolution versions of your photos). With most
ebook reader software on a tablet device you can press and hold on an
image and it will bring up the full resolution version.

2013-05-08 Thread Larry Colen
It should come as no surprise that once again 
looking through the PDML annual is a very humbling 
experience. 

I've spent enough time on other photography fora to
truly appreciate the level of expertise on the PDML.
Most online photo discussions seem to be a place 
where the experts are defined as people who have 
learned the relationship between f-stop and depth of
field.

Not only do we have some very accomplished photographers
on this list, but the annual represents the very best
of their work over the past year, and the results are
truly stunning.

meticulously maintained and solidly constructed (even beyond my expectations) 
Pentax K20D. I've yet to take it out and put it through what meager paces I'm 
capable of exacting, though I have held it to my eye and snapped the shutter 
for a taste of the tactile experience.

Immediate thoughts: (1) The satisfying heft of a substantial camera, (2) 
Brilliant viewfinder, and (3) musical shutter.

As it arrived with a fully charged battery, I'm quite anxious to take it out 
for a stroll. Pending actual real-world image results, I'm quite tickled.

Many thanks to you, Mark!

Good for you. I think the K20D is often unfairly maligned. Mine still 
sees some use and produces some fine work. I shot with it last weekend, 
matter of fact, and I was quite happy with the results:

Thank you, Doug. I'll be quite happy if I can get one image of that 
caliber out of this camera.


As for my hammer of choice, it occurs to me that many of the world's 
best shortstops start out using a piece of cardboard as a glove. Given 
that fact, I don't see myself ever looking back and saying to myself, 
Dammit, I wish I'd never bought that K20D.

Congratulaions!

Gonna give it a workout this weekend on a short holiday visiting 
friends.  It was a hard choice between the KX and the K7.  Finally

K7 has the low light qualities of the KX.  Will have to spend the

I think that a lot of us are following the same logic. Besides, the 
longer you wait to buy high end electronics, the less that that 
performance will cost you.


When I first got mine, I was having crappy luck with battery life, it 
seems to  have improved a lot. Don't know whether that's from going from 
the rayovacs to the older hybrios. Whether the rayovacs tend to have a 
weak battery in each set. Whether hybrid batteries lose some capacity 
(not just charge) when they haven't been used for a while, but using 
them brings it back. Or maybe it's just clicking info so that the back 
display isn't always coming on saves a lot of battery.


One gotcha I learned is that setting it to correct for lenses doesn't 
make much difference on single shot, but screws up bracketing as it'll 
buffer two then hang on the third shot.


Do try out the movie mode, even if you don't think you have any use for 
it.  Especially try it out with a good prime lens on it. The image 
quality is very impressive.

Well, enjoy it.  Your strategy is pretty sound.  I am hoping for the
same - a K7 with K-x capable high ISO.

Just a small tip - there is a setting for battery type.  You can set
to lithium or Nimh or Alkalines or auto sense (default).  I found it
didn't sense some of my nimh batteries very well and showed them as
almost dead.  It works better to switch it to the type of battery you
use.

My sentiments exactly. I've just finished selling off the rest of my pre-AF 
Pentax lenses (keeping only the A50/2.8 Macro) since I've replaced all of 
them with the newer, better performing current series offerings. Adding cost 
to the package to support 20+ year old lenses is less desirable to me than 
making a very fine camera with good ergonomics, responsiveness, etc.


	It's been well-established (primarily by the short burst from a 
troll awhile back) that it's a very minimal additional expense.  I for 
one, can't think of any single feature that I would like better than 
full k-mount support.  Without it, I doubt there will be any incentive for 
me to upgrade.

 The issue Nikon's been having with the early

 the sensor itself. It's in some of the supporting hardware and  
 adjustable/controllable, within limits of course. People who are  
 experiencing a problem are being told to return their cameras for a  
 service to eliminate it. From what I was told by a Nikon tech, it's  
 simply changing some small setting or resistor.
 
 I think the choice of sensor is excellent. By the time Pentax goes  
 into production on it, all the kinks with the components should be  
 well known and easy for them to eliminate in the final product.

An optical graycode wheel and miniature sensor array on the aperture feedback 
system would be both inexpensive and very reliable. I think the costs and other 
issues relating to the aperture feedback control have been blown out of all 
proportion. They could have done it at minimal cost if they wanted to, they 
simply chose not to, and only user backlash forced them to implement the green 
button kludge. It seems like they aren't about to make the same error on the 
D645 and cost has nothing to do with it IMHO.

It will most likely be similar to the Nikon D200, which BH has
priced at l699. If it can equal that camera in specs, it will be a
winner in my book. I'm sure it will accommodate early lenses in a
manner at least as efficient as the D.



I' am somewhat dissapointed. I think it is just an *isD with a better
sensor. I also think that the camera looks rather bland particularly
if it cost semi-pro money. The contrast to the 645D couldn't be
larger. Although the 645D is no classical beauty, it is camera with
presence, original design and doesn't look like anything else. In
addition the design offers uniqe features. Most importantly the
slanted top panel makes it possible to adjust and see setting when 
the

camera is on a tripod at eye level. Anyone who has tried to change
setting on, say, the Z-1p (who is the worst offender of all cameras 
as

the LCD panel is at the top of the prism), under such circumstances
knows it involves taking the camera off the tripod for setting
functions. Also the two tripod sockets are brilliant. Why don't 
Pentax

make their semi-pro K-mount DSLR similar? They are no longer bound to
the old shapes dictated by film-

Looks like my guess was right that the D-whatever will be using the Sony 
10MP sensor as also found in the D200.  wonder if there will be a 
Samsung-branded version as well?

The camera seem quite large. It could in fact include in-body stabilizer. If 
it does this will be my first digital camera.


The 645D have the green button. It seem to mimick the K-mount cameras 
interface.

Yes, it's rather big considering that not that small DA 16-45/4 is

How are you able to determine how large it is?

I'd sure be disappointed if it had image stabilization, a feature I'd not
want to pay for either with dollars or with weight and complexity.

Both look to have a green button, but what does that say?  It may imply
to some that the green button will work in the same manner it does on the
istD, but there's certainly no guarantee of that, although it probably
does.  There would definitely a loud cry of outrage should the cameras not
work with the earlier manual focus lenses.

Is that a good sensor?  How has it been behaving itself in the Nikon?

It might be nice if there were a Samsung version, perhaps leaving the
Pentax to have more bells and whistle and the Samsung being a bit more
basic.

There have been cases of strange banding--courduroy noise in D200

Re: It's here

2006-02-23 Thread Godfrey DiGiorgi
The issue Nikon's been having with the early production D200s isn't  
the sensor itself. It's in some of the supporting hardware and  
adjustable/controllable, within limits of course. People who are  
experiencing a problem are being told to return their cameras for a  
service to eliminate it. From what I was told by a Nikon tech, it's  
simply changing some small setting or resistor.


I think the choice of sensor is excellent. By the time Pentax goes  
into production on it, all the kinks with the components should be  
well known and easy for them to eliminate in the final product.

If you are interested, dpreveiw has a full review of the 200D 
http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikond200/


He stupidly compares the noise characteristics against the Canon 5D 
(full sensor, less pixel-packing; the D200 is an APS sensor so the 
pixels are packed tighter) so the noise at 1600 and 3200 looks higher. 
Still it isn't bad.  There have been reported banding issues but 
apparently Nikon has fixed that and it may have been a software/firmware 
deal and not an inherent problem in the sensor.


My guess is that the new D-whatever from Pentax will be a great camera 
in as much as the original was.  Image stabilization?  Full k-mount 
computability?  Who cares really.  I'm more interested in frame rate and 
buffer size.  Can I rattle off 23 RAW frames at 5 FPS? :-)

Model names, designs, specifications and market launch schedules of these 
products are all tentative and subject to change without notice.

Nothing we have not heard on this list, would be nice starting point though.
Chip size will be interesting.
A digital back would be amazing.
