Olympus dSLR with LCD Preview

In spite of what the CNET editors say about the upcoming Olympus Evolt E-330, I do not see the value in having an LCD preview on a dSLR. If you are not going to look through the lens of your camera, then why spend $1,000 when you can pay half as much for an ultra-zoom digicam?



See It Sunday - Heights

Posted in Contests, Photo Friday, See It Sunday on 01.28.06 22:37

I won another See It Sunday contest (heights). This time there were more than two entries. :)

While I hope that the competition continues to grow, I think that the limited posting time will make it more managable and interesting over time. Does anyone ever actually look at every one of the 600+ photos posted to Photo Friday?

With See It Sunday you have just enough time to view the upcoming theme. Then you must post your photo on Sunday. I think that all of the other contests have submission periods that are too long.


Spam, Upgrades and Catching Up

Here it is after midnight on 1/28 and I just posted the photo for 1/26. I am remiss for not posting! It started out only as a day behind, but then last night I got hit with a comment spam attack. The purpose was to highlight the vulnerability of PixelPost and light a fire under the developers’ collective butts. Read about it on the PixelPost Forum.

As annoying as it was the attack seems to have worked. Not only are patches being posted, but this evening I upgraded to PixelPost v1.5beta. Unfortunately, my selective background hack has to be recreated. For the time being all of my image backgrounds will be white.

Hopefully by end of day tomorrow I will have the 1/27 and the 1/28 photo up… :)


Konica Minolta to Exit Photo Business

Posted in Products on 01.23.06 17:25

I just heard about this via a CNET alert.

Last week was a sad time in the camera world: Konica Minolta announced that it’s bowing out. By 2007, KM will be ending production of all of its digital and film cameras and photofinishing products. Konica Minolta will still be in business on the electronics side of digital photography and is working with Sony toward producing a Sony-branded digital SLR camera.

It is tough to compete with the big boys–Canon and Nikon–but at the same time I find this sort of strange. At the same time KM is leaving the market, Samsung is rebranding the Pentax *ist DS and Panasonic is collaborating with Olympus to put out a DSLR.

While Sony will take over the line (which will continue lens support for the KM mount), I cannot help but think that they will screw up what is a fine camera. First off it will have a Memory Stick slot instead of a CF slot. Second, it will have really beautiful buttons that are hard to press and not at all intuitive. Third, it will have a huge LCD screen that will suck the battery life right out of the camera.


Monitor to Printer Calibration

I so need to find an affordable way to calibrate my monitor to my inkjet photo printer. I have not yet wasted money printing anything at a photo lab, but yesterday I tried to print this photo of my kids and it came out so yellow it looked like Isabel had jaundice.


First Prime Lens

Thanks to some Christmas refund money from some ill-fitting clothing, I was able to order a replacement for my lost remote and a new lens (Canon 28mm f/2.8). It took over a week for B&H Photo to process my order because of an address mix-up with my credit card. The package should get here sometime early next week and hopefully by then my server woes will be taken care of and I can post some photos taken with the new lens.
