  • Replied in There is also voltage
    Hi, Speaking about the 2000 mAH Eneloops (don't know about the others): There is more than long shelf live. They also have a little higher voltage than the others. That esp. comes into play with...
  • Replied in As all the others: useless viewfinder ...
    I often need something like this for reportage: big sensor, good high ISO but looks like a P&S. Alas: again a viewfinder which only shows 80%, like all the others. So silly, why do the even bother....
  • Commented on preview

    To clarify: the OVF does not need to be bigger, it needs to show 95% or something, not 80% as seems the rule with all OVF cameras now. That's just useless and a waste.

  • Commented on preview

    Again NO DECENT OPTICAL VIEWFINDER!@$% And this should appeal to DSLR owners? Forget it Canon ...

  • Commented on EXIF tracking services help find missing cameras news story

    When this really works, never mind my stolen camera, it could finally be a way to find my STOLEN PHOTOS!!!
    I'm already waiting years for a search engine that will find my copyright info in the...

  • Replied in When the EVF becomes mature ...
    When the EVF becomes a real alternative (hires, calibrated, no noticeable lag when panning), we could finally say goodbye to the obsolete technology from last century (the mirror and prism...
  • Replied in InfranView
    InfranView (with plugins) does it lossless. Pick lossless rotation, pick 'Transformation None', check 'Apply original date ...' and pick 'Clean all APP markers'
  • Replied in Does Focusing Change Exposure?
    A lot indeed :) In my experience it's also the mechanics that cause variations. I can take several identical shots of a static subject and still see small variations in exposure, with some lenses...
  • Replied in SD card hexed!
    That is worrying. IMHO the camera should slow down as soon as the buffer is filled and can not be emptied quick enough. But when this happens very quickly, it could be the camera is too slow to...
  • Replied in Maybe Cannon 40D?
    Getting really serious with little money usually means second hand. When 10MP and clean ISO 1600 is enough, a Canon 40D may fit the bill. High speed, good dynamic range and good ergonomics. There...
  • Replied in SD card hexed!
    Ehm, so next time you'll lose even more images? An do you really fill 8 GB before you get back to your PC and can download the images? Anyway, better to use 2x 8GB. When you're shooting so much,...
  • Replied in C&C this
    Like the macro's, very nice. About the landscape: You need to decide: sharp all the way (so f 8 or 11) or only the ridge with trees half way, for which you need to be a bit closer to them. Not...
  • Replied in THE solution...
    Hi Bogdan, We've already been there 3 days ago in this thread, read up the "It's not about EXIF dates ..." sub thread. Really, I know what I'm doing and what I want :) Best, Boyd
  • Replied in I'll keep my fingers crossed
    So problem solved! I'll keep my fingers crossed, the global fin. crash after Friday please :) Best, Boyd
  • Replied in Not interesed in card reader solution...
    Why should I state my reasons? That would only generate a off topic side thread and waste your and my time, since it is not about the solution I'm after. As I understand Don Dement's...
  • Replied in Not in sharpness
    When this is about how sharp a lens is, remember that even HD video is a way smaller image then you normal pictures. Even if one of the lenses is softer (visible in your pictures) you will probably...
  • Replied in D7000?
    When you have some Nikon lenses, it could be costly to switch. Don't know about the ergonomics, but it seems a 'natural successor' would be the D7000. Boyd
  • Replied in Canon.nl on the problem
    As mentioned before, Aug. 10 I asked canon.nl for a solution. Clearly explaned the problem with EOS Utility changing the 'Date Modified' of the image files on download. The answer was quick,...
  • Replied in Thanks Ron!
    Thank you so much! And I can see already some other options which suit me very well, like lower case file names. I'll do an install ASAP. Boyd
