Re: Great bundle vs. Higher Quality Camera
Doesn't seem like much of a deal to me at all, actually. At B&H, just adding those items individually to the cart totals $944, with free shipping. The T2i with 18-55 IS lens is $899. Add the 50 prime ($99) and the 270 EX ($144) if desired, for not all that much more than this special deal price. Adorama has similar… -

Re: How To Maximize Your Findability (Search Engine Stuff)
I'm showing 144 results on google image search. It's climbing, but very very slowly. Captions and gallery descriptions seem to be tied to most of them. Keywords don't seem to help at all. I have maybe 400 images with a unique keyword... no results on google image search. But 4 images I uploaded to another site are found… -
Re: Social network confusion, info overload, need some organization
Sure, that's the idea. Don't shoot me if I cross post, or if I make a mistake and don't post. I am human, after all :) But - there are things we tweet that we don't facebook - remember, different Social Media.... Twitter is 144 characters. FB allows plenty. We might tweet about a cool thing we saw, or want to find out… -
Re: Looking for Good Quality Point-and-Shoot
The $300 price range is very crowded with many good entries, so the choice is a lot tougher here. Check out this 12 page review of Premium Compacts: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/Q408premiumgroup/ This is from Dec 2008, so a couple models may have been replaced by now, but the street price for most have likely dropped… -
Re: Can youz test a new uploader?
Vista, Firefox 3.0.8 Just uploaded a batch of 144 pics, totaling 136 MB. Speed and reliability were good - the transfer rate stayed pegged around 800 mb/s. One question... Java.exe had my machine (a C2D HP laptop) pegged at about 52% processor through the entire upload. My thought was, "Really? 52% processor for… -
Re: Canon 7D
40D with 10 megapixels X 6.5 fps = 65 megapixels/second 7D with 18 megapixels X 8 fps = 144 megapixels/second So more than double the processing demand vs 40D, though the same isn't as true of the 50D: 15 X 6.5 = 97.5 megapixels/sec The 7D has actually quite a bit more throughput than either mark III, both of which do… -
Re: still afraid of raw?
17 raw vs 40 in best quality jpeg. But at 9 fps, that's a big difference. But this really only matters to me for baseball, where I just point the thing where I think the action is going to be and let fly. It sounds like people like the user interface of the raw converter more than having to write curves &etc. That seems… -
JPEG saving issues
There have been a number of threads here with dealing with the issue of shooting/processing/saving JPEG format. The ready answer seems to be "shoot RAW" which is clearly the best answer, but lots of folks on this forum don't have that option. I ran across this information this morning in Photoshop CS3 Bible, by Fuller and… -
Re: Have you checked your backup scheme lately?
I have 144 GB at the moment which includes Lightroom's catalogs (I store them in the image folder so they get backed up too). I have an external hard drive specifically for backups, but as you found out they can be easy to hurt. This is where DVDs or Bluray (you're right, still costs a bundle) discs come in - you'd have to…
