As well as back-up drives I use Archival Gold CD's. If you are worried about burglary, you could hide them or take them to your son once in a while.

New TV Programme
I think there is more to it, as you get older your eyesight deteriotrates, I really can't be bothered getting my reading glasses out to look at the back of the camera and therefore can't be bothered with cameras without viewfinders. If I do put my specs on to look at the back I then can't see the su...

Sigma SD15?
Call me crazy but ive been looking at pics by the sigma SD14 and other foveon X3 pics and really like the results. The image quality and colours look great. Therefore im very tempted to get a SD15. I like how the SD15 will force me not to shoot in idiot mode (which i fall back on far too much) an...

Sigma SD15?
I use Pentax, have used all the main brands...however, I go to the NEC Focus show each year and two years ago Sigma had a large show of VERY large prints (about 2 feet by 18 inches) from the SD14 and I was very, very impressed indeed. Ignore snide and biased comments, judge for yourself, but I too a...

Problem with Lightroom 3
I've just recieved my copy of Lightroom 3 and straight away found a problem. The Noise Reduction and Sharpening is that much better than previous versions I'm going to have to go back and re-process the last 2 years of Raw images. I'm also wondering how many of the borderline keepers that I've del...

Aftermarket strap recommendations?
Another vote for the Very comfortable, I can wear it across my chest, it all depends how long your back is, and if you have anything in the way :oops: Davex.

Aftermarket strap recommendations?
I use the Op/Tech across my chest. My problem isn't that my camera is portly but rather I am portly. Some would say fat. It's comfortable and I like being able to move my camera to ride in front of my stomache, at my side, or behind me depending on the conditions. For me, I wish Op/Tech made a strap...

Sigma releases SD1 (46Mp)
They're being a bit silly calling it 46MP: it isn't, it's ~15MP. On normal sensors, there is what's called a Bayer pattern filter. To greatly simplify, the sensor only 'sees' the light level. There is then a filter which 'marks' each pixel as being of a particular colour. So for example one pixel...

Silkypix vs. Lightroom Raw conversion
I'm thinking of getting Lightroom (hopefully the student edition for my 9 year old daughter:wink:), due to the many good things I've heard about it. However, I'm wondering if this is a good idea given the fact that I recently reverted to using Silkypix, after using Camera Raw in Elements 6 for a whi...

Silkypix vs. Lightroom Raw conversion
You can download a 30-day trial from Adobe's website. It's around 160Mb. There is no problem linking it to Elements - in fact it will do so automatically. If you do decide to buy it, there is no need to do so from Adobe. I ordered my disc from Amazon and just plugged in the key code to the expired t...

Silkypix vs. Lightroom Raw conversion
Used to have SilkyPix, and except for their licensing bulls@$%, I loved the software. At the time I thought it handled RAW conversion better than LR2. Even though LR2 had all the tagging and logging of files, I preferred SilkyPix Now comes LR3 with all its bells and whistles. LR has so much mo...

Silkypix vs. Lightroom Raw conversion
I used Silkypix and then moved to LR3 even though I thought Silkypix was marginally better quality wise. The fact is that LR3 is such a superb all-round package and does 90% of ALL the photo editing, storing and publishing I need. For example, it's publishing manager is extremely powerful. I ...

Photoshop Elements 9
They can sell PSE9, Lightroom and PhotoShop ? Different strokes for different folks ? Exactly. I don't need full Photoshop, I wouldn't use a quarter of all it offers. Nor I suspect do most people who use it. I don't know Lightroom, but it is usable with Elements - Elements can do things Li...

Camera bag for holiday
Hi I'm going on holiday in the middle of October and I need a bag for my gear. I'm looking at taking a digital SLR with a medium zoom lens attached and 2 primes. I'm also taking filter holder and filter pouch and also some screw in filters. I was looking at a lowepro flipside 200, the size and sp...

Camera bag for holiday
Hi Dan, I've got the flipside 300 which is a little larger,I really like mine. The gear you have listed would easily fit in the 200, and the 300 would have enough room left for a light lunch and lightweight waterproof. The bottle holder on the outside keeps liquids well away from your gear if ...

Digital film cartridge.
I hate to be a damp squib but there's something else you need to take into account: Film is thin, very thin. To make a "universal" sensor that works in all cameras you'd need to make that the same thickness, otherwise the registration distance would change and you'd lose infinity focus on all len...

Digital film cartridge.
there is a bit of slack on the film pressure plate and its the back of the sensor it has to focus on, the glass layers on the front are not an issue. so long as its mounted on a VERY thin circuit board then you should be ok, think the flexible kapton board and you should be able to make it work.

If you can make one and bring it to market for the right price then I'm sure there'll be a few bob in it for you... :wink: Not really my area, I do audio. they guys above me at work do imaging and facial recognition stuff (Rich made a very cool computerised face that mimicks your facial expressions ...

Digital film cartridge.
Theres more room in the back of the camera than you'd think. Removing the pressure plate creates another couple on milimetres. Anyway... A primitive version of this thing has already been done. So it is do-able. There are pictures on the DP Preview website of the original prototype. The only thin...

Digital film cartridge.
Well numbers are easy to sell, but if you take a canon 5D II or 7D and take some piccies with a good lens chances are if you pixel peep then you will find 'errors' in the lens, distortion and chromatic abberations, IMHO that makes a sensor beyond the abilities of the lens. Especially with crop senso...
