Alien butterflies, but where are they? (Fermi),
The JWST will only produce interesting pictures of white dots and nebulous
objects as well as absorption lines mostly of H and He.
My Pentax gear however .

USA's 2012 Best Camera for the Money

2012-12-25 Thread P. J. Alling

The review starts out;

Samsung’s new WB150F combines two very trendy technologies currently 
sweeping the imaging world: impossibly long zoom, and Wi-Fi 
connectivity. But when manufacturers do this, especially at the low 
end, there’s a tendency for gimmickry to overpower image quality. That 
may be the case here. We spent some time with the WB150F and both our 
shooting experiences and test results were mixed.


At which time I stopped reading...

Pentax Q: the best camera combined with the worst marketing in the history of the universe?

2012-08-15 Thread Darren Addy
 are waiting for the overdue, but promised Pentax K to Q adapter
but if it isn't announced at Photokina I don't think it is coming at
all. (And if it ever does, there will be more jeers over its price).
That one piece alone, would have potentially turned the Q into a
vehicle for selling more DFA 100mm macros (if nothing else). Yet
Pentax features nobody using the Q in these ways. In short, I think
the the Q may be the best camera that is combined with the worst
marketing in the history of the universe.

 the trigger on a
 used Q kit with the normal prime f1.9 lens, and an extra battery for
 $330. I'm also getting the C to Q adapter and K to C adapters that the
 seller is offering for another $50. As was pointed out yesterday, if
 you keep your eye on Amazon Deals, it is possible to get a returned Q
 kit (all-but-new) for around $335 and that makes it a BUY
 recommendation, in my book.

I thought it was appropriate in the context of the hipster thread. ;-)
Actually, it had lots of manual controls and it's kind of a waste on
the all automatic types.
