On Just Posted - Sony NEX-F3 review news story (131 comments in total)
In reply to:

cgarrard: Menu systems on NEX cameras - "gag me with a spoon". Ruins an otherwise nicely designed camera line that has excellent image quality. I'd score it lower based on the useability of its menu system alone.

Great review though overall.

I just picked up a NEX-F3 for the first time tonight and the user interface does indeed suck. The RX100's, on the other hand, is pretty good.

On Adobe Photoshop CC: What it means for photographers news story (1876 comments in total)

Well I'll stick with my current version of CS for now and when I decide it's time for an upgrade, I'll simply select another software publisher. Adobe doesn't care if people complain. Let your wallet do the talking.

Not my cup of tea, but I think Panasonic has a winner here with the LX7 sensor and ~7x zoom in what appears to be a pocketable camera.

On Sony launches AKA-DM1 dog-mounted camera harness in Japan news story (24 comments in total)

I'd gladly spend $50 to get some fun dog videos, but another $240 for the camera? Not so much.

You do what you need to do, but I personally find it very intrusive and would beat the living pi** out of you if you did it to me. I am completely unimpressed by the photos by the way.

James Babb: Hunting can benefit a species. If a particular animal brings hunter tourists into an African community, that community will value and protect the species.

As for the "dark continent" reference, that was just a little sloppy. Even NPR made the same mistake.

So if I killed your family to feed mine, I could argue that it's better than them dying of cancer. Yeah great argument. That high school education is serving you well.

Paul Storm: i cannot stand any company making tools to assist in the killing of animals, especially for entertainment. it saddens me greatly.

That is one of the most asinine statements I have ever read. Hunters don't "preserve" anything. They destroy life. Period.

Debankur Mukherjee: Nikon's brutal side.......

Soldier don't protect anyone. In fact, all US soldiers do is invade lands where they're not wanted and kill innocent women and children.

digitallollygag: What's next, background checks on rifle scopes? Seriously, aren't there bigger issues to be passionate about?

The taking of innocent lives seems like a pretty massive issue to me. What makes your life more valuable than another creature's? Nothing. In fact, I'd say your lack of empathy and compassion makes your life far less valuable.

Direct link | Posted on Apr 4, 2013 at 06:17:06 UTC

All you ignorant buffoons who are incapable of compassion or empathy can make all the jokes you'd like, but I won't buy another thing from Nikon as long as they support trophy hunting. I won't support Nike, Subway, Modell's, Proctor & Ganble, and a slew of other companies so what's one more?

kozack: People, where is your common sense?
What is wrong with rifle scopes and "black continent"?
Liberalism is truly a mental disorder.

And ignorance such as yours is truly a cancer upon our society.

In reply to:

Mrchillisauce: No RAW :-(

WilliamJ, you don't seem to have much understanding at all. Low light performance will be decreased and visible noise increased by using an otherwise-equivalent sensor with more MP. Yes, anyone who wants more MP on these 1/2.3" sensor lacks any semblance of knowledge on the subject. If you want more MP, purchase a camera whose sensor can accommodate more MP without such a noticeable degradation in IQ. Honestly, they never should have even gone past 10MP.

On Nikon Coolpix P330 Hands-on Preview preview (82 comments in total)

Well it's nothing exciting, but nice to have an alternative to the Canon S series. I'm still partial to Canon color, but Nikon usually puts out better lenses.

In reply to:

Timmbits: Canon STILL can't afford designers for this ugly uninspiring chinese-junk-toy-looking camera series?

Surely a company like canon can afford to devote at least a 1 person design team to this...

I've always liked the S-series design, as have many others based on the fact that has been nearly replicated by various manufacturers.

On Photojournalist unexpectedly documents domestic violence news story (269 comments in total)
In reply to:

jj74e: People comment from such an egocentric view these days, sure opinions and all. Some say the woman knows how to manipulate the man, others say the man was clearly a prior convict with anger issues.

How many people even looked at the full portfolio before commenting such certain speculations? Personally, it looked like they were one of those couples who had their happy moments, but ultimately couldn't stick it out because of instability.

But that's just my opinion- who's to know where the instability comes from, if it's one sided or a mutual instability. And regarding this instance specifically from the article, who knows went down at the bar, who said what and etc.?

To judge either of these people without recognizing that your thoughts are speculations and nothing more is to welcome such judgments on yourself, which I'm sure no one wants. The Internet has attracted so many bystander critics on everything.

So it's ok for him to hit her under certain circumstances?

In reply to:

Darby: After 30+ years as a cop in California I believe that booze, or booze & drugs, is the common denominator in such disfunction & violence. Economics, education, race, age, sex, locale are minor components.

The photographer was making an effort at objectively documenting something that 'innocents' are usually exposed to through exaggerated fiction, or second-hand recounting.

Good insight into the miserable circus.

Yeah cops are always really valuable sources of insight - when they're not busy bullying everyone around them.
