It's really nice to see 100% coverage viewfinders trickling down the range, maybe one day they'll be commoplace in all DSLRS. As for me, I'll keep saving for the A900, a DSLR should be a stills camera, IMO. When I want footage I'll use a camcorder/Super 8.

But it surely can't for selling toilet bowls, or coffins, or pet insurance! They're probably the only things that tactic - if you can call it that - doesn't work on. :D

That relaxed Hawaii lifestyle seems to have given this chap too much spare time! I can see it working with a car...but it just looks idiotic with cameras...however this lot does stand out from the crowd considerably, which it what you want on eBay. All the best to him!

Hi! I've been away from the forum a while now (I've been really engrosed in digital stills photography recently - won my first competition recently!!). Anyway, a question had been eating me up a bit, and it's a big 'un, since I've been using DSLR's I've come to appreciate the merits of high magnification/high coverage in taking an image. I was interested what sort of magnification/coverage Super 8 cameras tend to offer, because of the tiny image area I'd image magnification factors are pretty high 2x-5x would be my area of estimation, but what was the coverage, I know SLR's around the 1960's to early 1980's only offered around 71-93% coverage generally (with the odd 100% exception), but Super 8 camera may well be different for all I know. Thanks a lot for any feedback! ;)

Hoping and praying that everyone living near the site of the fire site recovers all their property, and is OK.

It's still terribly sad to this day.

Thanks for the wonderful forum, and for all it's done to benefit my life, and the lives of so many others. God bless, and here's to many more years!! :lol:

Hope you have a good one!! ;)

My little Canon has a flip close...I'd imagine any self-respecting 16 or 35mm camera maker would add them to all it's models.

Hmph! :rolleyes:

Any and every of the Harry Potter films...

Thanks David.

A modular system like the RED would be good for 35mm (and much cooler B) ). If you couldn't afford a certain part buy a cheaper one, and upgrade when you can, it would be great if it went together like Lego so that you could replace or upgrade the camera with having to book an appointment with a highly expensive servicer.

Affordability. 35mm movie cameras are SO expensive new. How about something like that Ikonoskop 16, it probably wouldn't work out costing much more. And 100% viewfinder coverage should always be essential. What you see in the viewfinder should be what you get.

Wow! That is the sort of mind-twisting brillian humour comedians must strive for for years!

As far as thin skin goes my skin is thinner than many. The slightest of critiscisms can really knock how I feel about myself, it's previously reached points where I've considered CBT, but since I've been submitting photographs to flickr my self-esteem really has skyrocketed, people, in life and online had really eroded it to next to nothing. Positive thinking is extraordinally effective. Every time a person or event causes your self-esteem to take a bit of downer (if you can) write down in seperate columns the negative, and positive aspects of your character, as long as you're impartial in your writing the positive aspects will almost certainly outweigh the negative ones. It can also be helpful to write in detail what, and where you went wrong, and in a separate section write down what can be done in future, and how. I say writing down in preferable to memorising, because the paper can be taped up above your bed or something, and paper can't forget fine details. I have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and these methods have proven helpful to me. All the best!

Well, I have some new Sennheiser headphones which conveyed every aspect the music perfectly. Perhaps a little too perfectly. They're still ringing ten miutes later. That gutteral style of music isn't really to my tastes anyway, but there's nothing wrong with it. What really stood out for me was the photography, I don't think there was one bad shot in that whole video, I particularly liked the DoF on the man lying in the street. I almost wish I'd bought the EOS 1000D instead of the A200 so I'd be looking at this camera as an upgrade prospect when times are better, it really did blow me away in terms of what an enthusiast DSLR is capable of. I'm almost jealous of Canophiles. Here's to hoping with the A800.

It's one of the sad sad losses of a great that you hope will never ever happen, but deep down you know it's an ineveibility. Still hurts though. :( God Bless You, Mr. Cardiff!

It's been quite a while since I've started a topic here...so here goes: I've got a lot of work on flickr that's in digital, now that's all well and good, but I think it's a bit of a skill to handle film. It's a pretty modest collection of photo's here, and they certainly don't have the slickness of some of my digital work, but I'm learning, and I'd really like your opinions on my work. Thanks! Here it is!

Hi, If I am correct the Panasonic G1H can do full 1920 x 1980p video, as opposed to 1280 x 720p, which I've heard looks pretty terrible on the D90. Depending on cost I may get myself one of these. Allows me to use my FM2 lenses more, which is a nice prospect. Shame there's only one MF dial, I'd expect two on a camera with these specs...

Well, I don't profess to be any expert, but I think if motion picture film became an extinct product next week then so much support and talent would be rallied to the cause of bringing it back into being that any small start up comany would be small for much longer, the ASC and others like them would absolutely throw themselves into the reins, so to speak. Best!

My experience is that low end DSLR's tend only to offer ISO speed in one stop increments: Sony A200: 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200. Not a wonderful choice, especially considering the wide range of shutter speeds and apertures available in even this low end model. Yet if you consider the higher end (but still affordable) A700. Sony A700: 100, 125, 160, 200, 250, 400, 500, 640, 800, 1000, 1200, 1600, 3200, 6400. That's probably every speed you'll ever need when using a DSLR as a light meter, just highlight the diiference between an entry level one and an 'enthusiasts' camera. Not that the A200 isn't a truly fantastic image maker, just that the creative options are more limited.

I do hope this becomes a Super 8 release, I'm already rather impressed with the VISION 3 500T. :)

Any Chinese, Iranians, Nigerians too? I hate the death penalty so much! I reckon I'll have to rant about it later! :P

I just realised a man was getting shot in that photo, I thought he was screaming at the camera and having a mad mad politically motivated moment. That's disgusting! And I thought that 1999 photo of 'Tiny' Davis wasn't bad enough, this is so much worse. What sort of oddball doctors a photo like that to have him play a guitar?! And was the man who shot Oswald ever prosecuted? I bet he walked free after a night in a police cell. Oswald would have been executed on late night TV! <_<
