I did the update. No difference in quality at iso 80 when peeping at the pixels. In the usual Samsung fashion the new firmware description was rather vague, just "Other bugs fixed". The good thing...

Thanks! Same here with raw format, I've been using it constantly since I learned about the benefits, never looked back. And those blue, cold tones drove me crazy in the past. Good thing it's easy...

I like them a lot and have to say the raw files are very easy to work with. Auto white balance works ok most of the time but setting it manually is of course better. The first two shots are taken...

That is good news. Could you post a 100% sample? And it would be great if anyone else had the time and felt like doing a before and after comparison. Because you can't roll back to an older FW right?

I see, that makes sense. It's probably cheaper to get a new (used) 30D than repairing it.

Why would a failing shutter create a circular pattern when the shutter isn't round in any way?

So... Some time ago I stumbled across an interesting product over at Sekonics website. Apparently they make a color meter. http://www.sekonic.com/Products/C-500R/Features.aspx  When looking at the...

For those who can't learn the trick, it is of course not a better way.

Two of the better ways to view 3d images is with the parallel view or cross-eye technique. It requires no special gear and works on any type of screen. However it takes some time getting used...

I don't know about stacking lenses, probably a bad idea. If you want more magnification you simply add more extension tubes between the lens and the camera. Bellows can be used instead of the tubes...

I use a 40D, 100mm macro and a homemade holder. Even this old camera makes good scans.A D600 with a dedicated macro lens should be awesome. Probably better than most scanners.

I did download and install the EX2_F1301144 firmware, which was the latest at that time but couldn't tell any difference. And I have no idea on how to interpret the numbers.Still, I have nothing...

You're welcome. The Canon EOS 40D has no hdmi, only low quality output. But it has tethering via usb.

In two month of use I'm mostly happy with it. The only bad things I have noticed is the inability to turn off the noise reduction. And that you can only take one photo after the AF-lock has been...
