Are the instructions &/or structure of EXR processors publicly available? Without that, I'm not sure you could even find an assembler or put one together, unless you snuck into Fuji's engineering &...

I get your point, but if I were trying to photograph a galaxy, (1) I would like to have fewer stars in the way, not more, and (2) exposures of even 10 seconds give unsightly star trails from the...

Maybe I'm missing something, but Fuji cameras can stack 25 photos, or even more.

I took a newish X10 to New Orleans, and enjoyed the results. Some of these are the camera's unvarnished output; others are processed w/the camera's RAW tools. I know that some of these aren't so...

I've been really happy with the results of "pro low light mode", mainly on the HS25, but also on the X10. It's not something to print at full size, but it's nothing to sneer at, either, considering...

I've noticed this, too. The HS25 does the same. I find it odd, but perhaps there's a mechanical reason for it.

Kodak invented the digital camera, but decided to ignore it, lest it threaten their "core business". Xerox was doing something similar. I was told during the 80s by a wife of an AT&T engineer that...

Foul management decisions: a failure to advance their own technology, or to leverage it into something more profitable. There were a lot of great things in development by Commodore engineers, but...

Strange. I don't have a problem with my upload, but people say they do from time to time. I upload directly from my computer.

Given the specifications of the camera, your impressions are not surprising. 14MP is much larger than your girlfriend probably needs. More megapixels are not necessarily better, but like the old...

I'm kind of surprised that you think M size DR 400 has saturation; to my eye, all these pictures looks as if a haze lies over the image, and most of the L size photos look a little worse than the M...

Again, the question is: how do we define these terms? Would you rather have a program that did certain things, even if inefficiently, or would you rather have no program to do these things at...

I have been interested since my childhood in the 70s, when personal computers first came on the scene. I probably became a professional programmer in the early 90s, when I worked at an embedded...

This doesn't disagree with what I said. If you think otherwise, then kindly provide an objective definition of "overpacked", "inefficiently designed", and "excessive amount". Note: Referring to...

+1 I discovered this with the HS25, and it was the first thing I thought of when I saw this comment. The X10's LCD doesn't have this problem, oddly enough.

Now there was a great computer. I have programs for the Amiga floating around on Aminet. A year ago or so I updated one for AROS, then realized there was no way to recover what had been lost after...

"Bloatware" is a term frequently used by people who criticize techniques of software engineering that they don't understand or know how to use properly, or who believe that all good software...

Yep. Everyone should just re-invent the wheel every time they create a new computer, OS, etc. That way, we'd still be trying to figure out the best 8-bit system, rather than building fairly...

I dunno. I'd suggest that the "hideous inefficiency" of modern code is because we're trying to get computers to do increasingly complex things. Even if it looks like SQL, it could well be C, using...
