No, the headline is correct for words ending in "s". Single apostrophe after the "s" to denote possession. I have experienced this for my entire life as my first name ends in "s". "Olympus's" is redundant.

The DNG Converter for Mac file is corrupted. Only 35mb of the 109mb downloads.
I own several cameras and I need to separate their files by camera so I can find them easier. LR does not allow me to do this automatically, so I rely on Photo Mechanic to do this. Plus, the folder structure on my backup drive matches the structure on my primary drive. LR does not do this either.
Carlos Echenique: Considering his situation, I'd say he did a great job. Each of the shots shows the personality of the athlete being photographed. Considering it looks like he had one strobe, an improvised reflector, a paper background and some scrounged gels, Mr. Klamar may well be the MacGuyver of photography.
Bravo for a brilliant improvisation and a truly original take on this subject!
No, I do not know any of the athletes personally. I also have more emotional range than a teaspoon, so I can see some personality coming through the images captured. Whether that accurately reflects the personality of the athlete is another matter.
I have run into situations where the customer has demanded all of the photos taken at the shoot (having been there to watch you shooting) regardless of the image quality. Who knows, his contract may have required that (see the discussion about concert photographers).

millsart: Of course the hundreds of amateurs who could care less about their rights and merely think it would be cool to take photos at a concert are all waiting in the wings to take their place.
"Gee, you mean I can not only do my love of photography AND my love of music/concerns and instead of paying for a ticket you'll let me in free and give me front row access for 3 songs and all I have to do is give you the images! Awesome, where do I sign up"
Sadly, this is the most likely case. Infinite Number of Monkeys Syndrome. It all depends on how low your standards are for image quality. I shoot ballet professionally and it's not something any chimp with a DLSR can do. I haven't shot concerts, but I imagine the shots taken by a pro concert shooter far outstrip anything produced by an iPhone.
I hope the camera was off, otherwise kiss that sensor goodbye.
Should have mine next week. I can still make this...
Very nice. But for the record, whoever set up the display has the Police Spinner from Blade Runner in ground configuration (the front wheels should be rotated out 90 degrees so the tires are parallel to the ground and facing down). Very clean 12800 shot.
Neat idea!
Corel + Bibble = Corel
Hopefully, they will address some of the issues that plagued the prototype and review NEX-7 samples (poor wide angle performance, color shifts, poor high-ISO, etc) but I doubt it. They were probably moving as quickly as they could to recreate the assembly lines lost in the flood, not retooling/refining the product.
whtchocla7e: No NEX-7?
Not nice Adobe.
Yes it supports NEX-7 and SLT-A77 RAWs as well.
Oh yeah, this makes perfect sense. NOT. Goodbye Kodak, photography shall miss you.
Harry Lane: Sony crammed too many pixels into an aps-c sensor, too many artifacts present in high iso pictures, and the noise reduction algorithm is smearing fine detail. The quality of Canon T2i photos with its 18-55mm lens + 18mp aps-c sensor clearly trumps that of Sony with its 18-55mm lens +24mp aps-c sensor.
And the Canon combo is about $600 less than the Sony combo. Is the Sony combo worth the $600 premium? I don't think so.
People pay 6x as much for a Leica M9-P that can only get to ISO 2500, and the in-camera JPEG engine leaves a bit to be desired. These high-ISO shots look way better. Keeping in mind that this is pre-production, in-camera, yada, yada, yada, the NEX-7 looks to be a highly credible street shooter. Plus at 24 megapixels, this camera has encroached into medium format digital resolutions. I AM NOT saying this is as good as MFD! But, when viewing images at this resolution, pixel peeping does not cut it. Print the image big (20x30 minimum) to see how good it really is.
Again, very usable image. Considering this is a pre-production in-camera JPG file, I have high hopes that production RAW images will be quite spectacular.
Never catch one of my cats doing that (swimming or kissing someone on the face).
That's why I am ordering this camera with the Zeiss 24 mm and keeping a couple of my CV M-lenses.
This is an extremely usable image even at ISO 6400. My M8 looks 5x worse than this at ISO 2500.
