Holy crap, they paid Seinfeld how much money for his infamy, to be included in the M$ new ad campaign that's supposed to fix the tarnished image of Vista as spoofed by the 'Get a Mac' Apple ads? Anyone seen the latest "I'm a PC" ads? ...really sad, kind of like the OS :D Microsoft's 'I'm a PC'...

AYBABTU Sorry, I"m not going to C&P volumes of text, you'll just have to exert enough attention span to do your own reading, you do know how to read, don't you? Whether or not you ever use video, all dSLR's will have it (except maybe Leica will be a hold out :p ) within a few years....because...

For those who don't click on my links to read the articles (that's most of you ;) ), in the link above, there is an image of the Intel Roadmap which mentiones the SLC 'Extreme' versions due out Q4, I'll let you read the specs. Interesting for 2009 Intel "plans" to go to 34nm process (still I...

Price for 80GB $595 I read that''s for quantities of 1000 :(, damn that's expensive, rather have greater capacity for lower price. http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-10034775-1.html

LOL, electronista doesn't comprehend so well...again. They're speculating that based on Red One's billionaire owner's (Jim jannard) thread, Red is interested in developing a dSLR. Nowhere in that thread does Jannard say that. http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?t=18278...

http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/674541 I'd like to have one of these, probably weighs a ton, but still 1/2 what the Canon 50mm F1.0 does.

LOL, you all know this is built on Apple's engine, open source SDK called Webkit, being used for Sarfari? Therefore, all of you should hate it :D. then again, initially it's only available for Windoze, so you should all embrace it...even if it's 'Safari' like ;). Nice analysis on Apple Insider...

2 FF sensor Canon bodies @PK, or later this year? Hmmm, Canon 6D? http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/cameras/Canon_5d2_3d_7d.html How about Canon hit us with a shocker, 15MP FF Rebel 4500D :0, priced below the 50D *wishful thinking*. Ah yes, Red One's Jim Gannard at it again, yey...

Nvidia 55nm parts are bad too Nvidia 55nm parts are bad too http://www.theinquirer.net/gb/inquirer/news/2008/08/28/nvidia-55nm-parts-bad If true, Nvidia's stock will tank...going to be a lot of unhappy customers of all the affected GPU's.

Friggin Canon USA lawyer, she probably used to work for Apple legal ;). good thing Nikon has yet to employ such a-hole lawyers, at least nikonrumors.com has yet to be hit with the same idiocy. www.canonrumours.com has been given a cease and desist order from Canon USA...

coming to a NYC street near you in 2009, but only 6 of them :p . But from the pix included, it would seem the drawing expects all new street lights to be installed? This would not be feasible worldwide, with current budget constraints. Any LED street lighting project, necessarily must utlize a...

Umm, forget Seinfeld..get a Mac :). Reason I still fire up the long outdated, unsupported IE for the Mac? why for the printing preview function inside IE. Still vastly superior to all other browsers and Mac OSX's pdf previewing. Only with such an old version of IE, many sites while they display...

Doesn't look as sharp as I would expect, but I think one Hairy Aussie might appreciate this supposed full res Subby shot :D...using a 50D (EF 600 lens, ISO1600) as posted on Canon rumors.com: http://www.flickr.com/photos/29246563@N04/2791967217/sizes/o/...

Yes indeed @$999.99 the D90 will spank the new lower priced 40D, though the movie mode is pretty limiting (expect with in a year, all dSLR's at the lower end will have an improvement on this feature...now about those rumors of a 5D MkII with movie mode ;) ). Though Nikon's PC's probably won't...

from imaging-resource: Who's going to buy a 40D now, if the 50D is only $300 more? Not enough differentation btw a Rebel 450D and 50D to make the 40D viable now, IMHO. Sales of the 40D will tank.

No rumored AMOLED screen, but most of the other rumors turned out to be true...who's got one on order :)? ISO12800 a 1st for Canon, bout time! Digic IV? Now WTF is the damned 5D MkII? Canon EOS 50D & 18-200mm hands-on previews http://www.dpreview.com/news/0808/08082606canon50dpreviewed.asp...

ditto, ebay. If you only get 1/10th what you paid for those; in a couple of years, thats enough to get another Canon lens (or 50D upgrade :D, you know you want a higher ISO sensor, you know you do :p). Either toss the rest, or sell them for 1/100th what you paid for, on ebay.

Canon pre-photokinkia rumors :D gotta luv those eletronista peeps. OLED LCD display...so it has both kinds, transmissive and emissive screen technology, lol. Digic III??? a 5D upgrade with less res than the XSi? Hmm, only if they are going for high ISO. ISO6400 seems a typical conservative...

Although this is nothing definitive, given other issues to IQ besides pure resolving power. But for those who say 14MP is a joke on a PnS, what would you think of the comparison of the IQ on the beer bottle lettering, finer print? Seems to me the Sony W300 is doing almost as good as the Canon...

That's hard to believe, what are you driving now (haven't been keeping up ;) ), and what kind of driving...all highway/freeway, what average speeds? Last year, my RT from LA to SF, after poking around SF bay area for the wine tasting event, and early morning visit for dim sum at nearby...

You also need a tuner that can lock on to weak signals. For the So. Cal. area, the transmitter towers are located ~5k ft on Mt Wilson, straight as the bird flies from Pasadena. In a straight line of site, not more than 50mi from anyone in the greater LA area, but that doesn't mean you can get a...

Will be quite a while before the technical hurdles are conquered on that res. However, in the next 5-10yrs we should see proliferation of 4k res HD source and distribution (especially with higher capacity BR discs, backwards compatible Blu-Ray players). What with the run away success of the...

Announced today..but. If only 1.8in size, then 80GB is still too low in capacity. With OCZ and others stepping up performance and lowering prices, Intel in behind the 'game' already, IMHO. http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-10019696-1.html?hhTest=1&part=rss&tag=feed&subj=Crave

Why I want/could use ≥ISO102.4k TV light. Shooting in the light of the television yields an almost over-exposed shot at ISO 25,600. 1/13 second, f/2.8, 24-70mm f/2.8 lens. (And yes, those are two broken arms.) If I was using a PC 24mm/3.5 lens, handheld, would need ISO102,400 just to get a...

Rob Galbraith's Aug 1, 2008 3pg update to focus problems/analysis of current firmware update for Canon 1DmkIII & 1DsMkIII. Shoot, Canon had better come out with a substantial 5D update(rumored very low noise ISO6400, for example) & 1Dmk4 that work better, focus well..soooon, or Nikon's gonna...

IQ is in the eye of the beholder. Never mind that the lenses on these PnS and cell phone cams probably can't resolve enough even for 6MP sensors. Recall Fuji's class leading SuperCCD in the F30/31 was fairly noisy @1600 & 3200, but retained some semblance of detail...though clearly inferior to...

http://www.electronista.com/articles/08/08/05/micron.realssd.256gb/ All well and good to produce drives that are faster than almost any deskstop HD equivalent. Problem is as usual, low cost is in the eye of the purchaser. The MLC C200 series has spec's that beat Samsung's rumored intro of a...

really, I see an IP addy up there, did you change it to a bogus IP? My d/l speed is about 1/500th of that :(

Aren't you to blame for that :) ? So is Tannin over in Bejiing w/e_dawg for the Olympics, choking on the smog/haze? Ah well, good enough; then maybe Tannin will miss this post and not start on the superior Canon sensors :p. http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/XSI/XSIA.HTM This review kind of...

http://www.electronista.com/articles/08/07/31/ieee.approves.fw.3200/ Wouldn't expect wide adoption of the superior FW spec by many manufacturers when available early next year (more power to the bus than USB3). Still, S6400 is needed *now*

Link I gave in prior post has link to list of all models where the CHDK has either working mostly correctly or less so on others. I'd still rather just go with the Pana LX-3 if like Gilbo said, it only had a wider range zoom. 24-60mm wouldn't be an ideal general use cam if you could only take...

Until August 2, you can get the new Samsung CLP-315 @Staples for $199.99 and get a $70 Visa rebate debit card. I think if you add .99 package of paper clips, to get it over $200, you'll get free shipping. Though I would want the network 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi version, but that's over $200. MFC version...
