RichA — 2010-09-9T03:26:49+00:00

To their preview for this new Nikon. High-end compacts of years ago didn't have TINY sensors, they had 2/3" sensors considerably larger than the ones in any compact now. Had they kept up with the same sensors, with new technology and processing, they might have had something. As it is, compacts a...

Do Canon's competitors have something like CHDK? Time Lapse, etc? (70 replies)

Crash! — 2010-09-7T04:22:09+00:00

Do any of Canon's competitors have something like CHDK? Feature-wise, I mean, in cheaper cameras? Time Lapse, remote, motion detection, manual, long video, etc? My impression is, once CHDK is properly tweaked, it can load at power-up every time, and remain transparent, buried in the features ...

First Eagle Shot Of The Season!! (1 reply)

It looks like eagle season on the East Coast is starting early this year. I wasn't ready for it, but was glad I had my trusty dSLR in hand when I spotted this big guy above. He must be an old timer as he's the biggest one I've ever seen. Anyone else spot eagles this time of year?

I'm speaking here about professionals who make a living writing about photography. I read another article where the author had to start a "Down Memory Lane" jag about film. They should no longer be wasting space including any comments on film cameras. Film is DEAD. It has been dead since Canon re...

RichA — 2010-09-5T15:24:06+00:00

Sat on their greedy asses, let Warner Bros and MGM build the format and then they jumped in. Way to innovate! Same as always, I guess. Nikon and Canon haven't brought ANYTHING new to the table in the last 10 years, they built only on other's work. Their saving grace (partially) is they do make go...

This month's Nuts and Volts magazine has the first part of a multi-part article on CHDK. This month's section is pretty basic, but next month they should get into more of the programming.

Canon EF 8-15mm f/4L Fisheye USM (80 replies)

Bruce — 2010-09-2T17:54:29+00:00

I saw the announcement for this lens about a week ago but don't recall it being discussed in the rec.photo.* newsgroups. As the header says, it is a zoom fisheye lens. It has full frame (24x36) coverage at 15mm and the usual circular fisheye image within the full frame at 8mm. I'm not a fisheye f...

Does anyone know where the "circle", "square", "ellipse" tool is on Gimp? Likewise with the "arrow" tool? Any basic photo editor should have this capability; but I can't seem to find it on Linux "The Gimp" photo editing freeware, version 2.6.8. If "The Gimp" doesn't have these basic tools; can yo...
