Don't write it off yet. I hear it's doing much better than the S1 did. I've even heard rumors of triple digit sales... -- Rahon Klavanian 1912-2008. Armenian genocide survivor, amazing cook,...

I did some calculations on this a while back (and bear in mind that I'm sick as a dog right now and my memory is nowhere near 100%, but I think this is about right) and based on the Rayleigh...

Actually, Foveon was the first to make a serious run at a 3 chip, high resolution still camera. This was in partnership with Hasselblad, long before they made their single-chip three layer...

Enormous, actually. And heavy. No, it's not. Most of the mirrorless camera sensors still need mechanical shutters. Only Sony had done away with that, in one model, and it significantly...

Actually, Edsel was an heir and President of Ford, but not a designer or engineer. However, the Shelby Cobra and the McLaren Capri and Mustang were named after famous engineers. Ford had a long...

No, that doesn't make it OK. "That", in reference to my comment about his years of stalking and abuse, simply is my comment on how your knowing him pretty well has little to no bearing on the...

If you know Kendall pretty well, you know that he's been stalking and harassing me for years. What you just called "this kind of abuse" is what Kendall has done to me, probably well over a hundred...

Well, my tealeaves whispered "three designer cameras" to me. I just got the wrong designer. Three Dick Merrill commemorative editions. Wow... Probably 100% increase on the DP models, along...

Speaking as an engineer who has designed a scientific camera that uses two Foveon sensors, thank you. Now, I expect, from this point on, that you will accord me the respect and celebrity that you...

Kendall, you are a bitter, nasty individual with a twisted mind. There is no one, and I repeat *no one* here who can concoct nonsense in your league. I was nearly on the floor laughing earlier...

It certainly will. Older Nikons (my D3 and D90, for example) double cycle the mirror. The beginning of a macro shot starts with the shutter closing, the mirror dropping, the mirror rising...

Well, I saw the pictures in the CP+ preview. Very long and skinny. I tried a quick bit of photogrametry on the pictures, it's a good 450mm long. Definitely not a mirror. It has an aspect like a...

It would actually be pretty hard to see, I think. Aside from a rather rare strain induced artifact I mentioned earlier, the only thing that would decrease the lens's performance would be enough...

That is not surprising. I mostly wander, offering helpful technical advice. I've seen enough of your posting history to know that you mostly go picking fights and bullying people. Two different...

Well, as others pointed out, firmware can't add features if you don't have the hardware. Now, picture, if you will, a camera maker deliberately "saving" some features that could have gone into...

And even that "pro-level camera" got the _exact opposite_ of the alleged "slap in the face". Nikon gave the EVF fans a big, warm hug, in the form of... * separate mirror and shutter sequence...

Panasonic, I can understand. I'll never forget the time that they released firmware "updates" that did nothing but lock out third party batteries. But Nikon, they surprise me from time to time....

Is that possible? (asks the man who has so many Argus C3s that he once arranged them into "Camera Stonehenge" for a still life) -- Rahon Klavanian 1912-2008. Armenian genocide survivor,...
