Film versus digital comparison
Going back to the link, I notice that they used Bicubic Sharper as the method to upsize, and also did this incrementally. This is IMHO a fault in the method used. It is no longer necessary in Cs2 to upsize incrementally, it will not help and could make matters worse. Also, Bicubic Sharper is designe...

Camera Fairs should be thriving..but are they?
Hi, The only place I see fairs advertised is in Amateur Photographer magazine, in the back pages..although I think in Edinburgh you may struggle to find one anywhere near you... John...even with ebay, I still expected fairs to do well and am surprised and saddened they seem to be in trouble. I...

Camera Fairs should be thriving..but are they?
The process is called evolution (or is it revolution). When newer methods and mediums can prove themselves to be superior to 'the old way', 'the new way' tends to be almost universally adopted and 'the old way' is abandoned to a mere memory leaving us with that 'good old days' syndrome. I've n...

Camera Fairs should be thriving..but are they?
Agreed, but I have found a solution. I'm moving to Spain which retains the 'look 'n feel' of shopping areas we once enjoyed. My local ironmonger will sell me one screw, bolt, or nut. I don't have to buy a packet of 20. The small independant trader is still very much in evidence. Its true that the...

Camera Fairs should be thriving..but are they?
Hi Again .... a retailers story....some years back I owned my own small retail shop selling CD's. We did well to start with, concentrating on superb service, ordering & sourcing items from all over the world, which all others shops could not be bothered with. When the retail recession hit, we...

Camera Fairs should be thriving..but are they?
I also love tinkering with computers. I left windows 3 or 4 years ago, moving to Linux and building my own PC. I used Linux and was happy with Slackware for about 2 years. Then I had the chance to acquire a Powermac 450MhZ Apple, and I have not looked back. Fitted more ram, gutted my PC and fitted t...

Camera Fairs should be thriving..but are they?
.........And I will never understand the world's rush to produce everything in China. Do you think it might possibly be because wages are much lower in China, so the goods can be produced there more cheaply? The cost of manufacturing is now so low that Europe doesn't have to manufacture very mu...

Good excuses
I managed to redeem myself slightly yesterday as I sold my 1 yr old DS + DA 18-55 + FA J 75 - 300 for 500 quid to someone here in Yaounde. :D I didn't think this too bad considering Park cameras are offering a new DL + 18-55 for GBP440. This sale offset the purchase of a similar age D + 18-35 + 28-...

Hello
Silly me - I've just realised, with help, what Don was saying. LOL. Forgot to answer Liam's question. I work almost entirely outside and have no studio or anything like that. I do, however, have a small back garden that is akin to a lilliputian nature reserve, with a tiny pond and plants/trees to a...

Good bye Pentax! Forever?
That settles it then....I'm gonna have to hang up the "Out of Business" sign. Maybe I'll go join a cult. I heard about this groups of crazed zealots based primarily outa' Japan called the "Pentaxians".... I think they await a mothership to bring them new technology...which the...

Don, No problem. I mentioned sports and birds because these both demand very fast AF if you are shooting professionally, and for High Fashion you need a 'blad with a massive Phase One back f you are going to cut the mustard with Vogue. I get pretty good reults shooting birds with my lense...

You could always buy a Samsung GX-1S..... And get £100 cash back, as advertised in the June issue of Digital Photo, quite tempting really.

2) Pro-pix are demanding at least 8mp, let's count the pixels on the Pentax cameras 3) DL's focusing system is not fast enough 8MP in which format. I get 20Mb - 30Mb TIFFS from my .PEF raw files. DL focussing may be slow, I have no first hand experience of it. My D however, is lightning fast and ...

That settles it then....I'm gonna have to hang up the "Out of Business" sign..... Just hand me another stone and tell Goliath to back the F**** off. It's quite clear to me that either the reviewer never got his hands on the DL or couldn't operate the camera properly. I do know somebody wi...

Good bye Pentax! Forever?
I can't comment much on all the 'techy' stuff of digital capture relating to sensor size, numbers of pixels, software capabilities etc... but do reckon that far too many people nowadays are pre-occupied with what the camera computers can do, along with the back-up software for post processing. It s...

Simon, Just to answer a couple of your questions: 2) Pro-pix are demanding at least 8mp, let's count the pixels on the Pentax cameras John Riley is absolutely correct - it's the filesize that matters, not the CCD size. For instance, I met a photographer who was making a nice living from selling ...

Good bye Pentax! Forever?
you know a couple years back, I blew the mirrors off a 2004 ninja zx12 on my old Yamaha fj1200. His bike had more horsepower and better handling and better breaks. A combination of factors at work. My experience, the fact that his horsepower advantage wasn't usefull to him (on a steep uphill stretch...
