Plastic crap rears its cheap, ugly head again

rander3...@gmail.com (RichA) — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 21:36:52 UT

Funny, I don't ever recall a METAL shutter switch falling off an SLR.
A one-piece metal part would have avoided this.

A future technology for dSLRs?

rfisc...@sonic.net (Ray Fischer) — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 20:34:29 UT

Given that SLR makers are already incorporating piezo dust shakers,
it might not be too far a stretch to include this technology as well.
It would deal with the Bayer sensor's shortcoming and probably end the
use of the Foveon sensor.
Hasselblad has announced a Multi-Shot (MS) version of its H3DII-50

Best High-end non-slr for low light action pics

mric...@dr.com (Mel) — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 17:12:03 UT

I have three Grandaughters in competitive cheerleading -- the worst
possible situation for good pics. I am often 100' away from the
action, the lighting is at best average, and the action is fast.
I have to use at least 1/250 to stop the action, but then the low
light and distance makes thing really hard to get crisp pics, even

Pixel count forecast

alfred_mo...@yahoo.com (Alfred Molon) — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 09:34:14 UT

What's your forecast of the pixel count level in five years
1. of a compact camera (we've reached 15MP)
2. APS-C DLSR (current level: 18MP)
3. "full frame" DLSR (current level: 24MP)
I wouldn't expect too much increase in the compact sector, but APS-C and
especially full frame DSLRs should still increase a lot. Maybe we'll be

[review] "The Adobe Photoshop CS4 Book for Digital Photographers" by Scott Kelby

usenet-0...@piggo.com (Troy Piggins) — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 03:47:54 UT

After a little deliberation, reading reviews, trawling a few
forums, I decided so splurge and buy a couple of books. I love
reading novels, but for some reason for technical information
I've always preferred online mailing lists, forums, and USENET
newsgroups.
Splashed out and bought CS4 Photoshop and Lightroom 2 recently,

why do overdone HDR photos look like paintings?

buc...@mail.com (bucky3) — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 23:05:30 UT

Let me start by saying this is not to debate the merits or demerits of
HDR. All I want to understand is the technical reason that overdone
HDR/tone-mapped photos look like paintings or cartoon drawings.
I can't grasp why changing the tone of a photo would make it look like
a painting. I found some clues at [link]

Wire connector for Flash

c...@ohsu.gov (clw) — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 17:53:06 UT

I have a Nikon DSLR and have a Nikon SS-400 Flash.
Does someone make a wire that will connect from the camera top shoe to
the flash so the flash can be held away from the camera?
TIA
