Re: Simple question for A700 owners

I have flexing where the top of your (hopefully) four fingers go on the grip.. The grip plastic itself flexes a little, but no notice. No such thing on the A100, but then again the design is very different (the plastic of the grip extends more to the lens, where on the A700 it stops by the fold).

Re: A900, D3x, 1DsIII comparison test

The high iso shot coming from the D3x looks black and white. If you remove the colour noise in the A900 I think they would be pretty close, no?

Re: DSLR-A330, A330L, and A330Y

I agree. Video secondary, spend all R&D on the still photo side of the camera.

For video I can always get the HX1. :)

Looks like a refresh. I hope they have improved on the sensors. A low noise 14MP 380 would be nice, with LV.

Re: Old, derelict buildings

This is Österskog on Öland, Sweden. It was a small village that was abandoned in the late 1800. The roof is obviously newer, probably to preserve the house. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3553/3376507444_a8efa56a37.jpg 1200 pixels Barn http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3375692585_ff5d6526a9.jpg 12...

For Photoshop I can recommend two plugins which let you simulate colour film. I like to use them both. :D Imagenomic RealGrain - http://www.imagenomic.com/rg.aspx" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Alien Skin Exposure 2 - http://www.alienskin.com/exposure/" onclick="w...

Re: A100/A700 flash shoe connection problem?

Sony has never heard of the issue before so ..... That reminds me of the old doctor joke: Faston's syndrome. Has a nice ring to it, doesn't it Mr. Faston? You NEVER want them to name a new disease/condition after you! Dusty Haha! :D Well it does not seem to be an epidemic since no one else here has...

Re: Diamond Head, Holona Blow Hole, Makapuʻu Beach

This is nothing more than a tourist photo.. I didn't have time to set anything up as the ship was firing its greeting shots. I was about to miss the shot because the ship had sailed behind some buildings blocking my view (I had expected the ship to fire the shots earlier), as I was travelling by bic...
