Kris, I first used Neat Image but that was too aggressive with the finer details and got too blurred so I used Topaz Denoise. I first didn't like it since the older version created patterns but the new version is better and I also sharpened it a bit.
Jack what program did you used, Noise Ninja?
I think you've pushed it a bit too far

Looks interesting, like the fact that it has a 12" 720p widescreen, camera and supports flash. The iPad could do with all of these, and if it did, I would probably buy one at launch.
There are problems though:-
Violation of PayPal's terms and conditions
Illegal use of imagery from the film Avatar
Lawsuit
Having been reading stories about it for nearly a year now (search for crunchpad as well in say engadget), it's pretty obvious that it's not a polished product, from an unproven company with an iffy track record so far.
Whilst I would love to see it on sale, and continue on sale, purely so we can use it as a stick to beat Apple with, I get that feeling this thing will not be around by the end of the year.

Come ON Stefan! About a dozen or so pages back you were complaining that the iPad wasn't more like a netbook, and now you're suggesting the CrunchPad?!?!?!!
Yeah I did complain that you can hardly run any useful software on the iPad, this however is at least Linux based so likely that it support Linux programs. Come ON Stefan! About a dozen or so pages back you were complaining that the iPad wasn't more like a netbook, and now you're suggesting the CrunchPad?!?!?!!
Correction: it does not run linux programs or anything else in that matter so it's just as limited as the iPad and even more since there are no apps for it.
And I know about the CrunchPad & Techcrunch.

It does indeed look very good, did you do some PP on it and was it RAW or in JPG?

Other manufacturers who have lens based SR systems doe support a panning motion. Nikon only stabilises vertical movement when you pan.
I believe that's an option, you can set the SR of the Nikon on several settings and one is panning I believe.Other manufacturers who have lens based SR systems doe support a panning motion. Nikon only stabilises vertical movement when you pan.
No such thing with Pentax though.

Well considering the market share of recent years I think to achieve over 10% with just two D-SLR bodies is really good going.
I just hope they can keep stoking the fire
The K-X is getting thumbs up from most magazines maybe that's what's going on, also the other brands have not brought out something spectacular in the range of the K-X and the K-7.Well considering the market share of recent years I think to achieve over 10% with just two D-SLR bodies is really good going.

The canon 50D for example is quite a disappointment although the 7D is quite a step forward but a bit more expensive, also the Nikon D300s is not something spectacular, 2009 was quite a bland year overall.
I'm very curious how the reception would be about the 645D
