Digital use a little bit different standard then film but the difference is around 1/3th of a stop to maybe 2/3 at most but reading your post it sounds it's 2 to even 3 stops too dark.
I've no idea what's going wrong.
What lens are you using?

This was already known when the K-M came around, Samsung said in an interview to want to make their own cameras and NX would be one of the first.
So good as all the other camera brands have 2 lens lines at the moment.
Pentax has always been the more traditional camera company so I see them keeping true to the mirror for the time being, Sony would be the fastest to jump ship to an EVIL camera since it has the electronic know how and then Canon, I see Nikon, Olympus and Pentax jump ship as the last.

If micro (4/3 & APS) camera sales show considerable growth, I wouldn't be surprised to see a small EVIL body from Pentax with reduced registration distance that would have it's own range of lenses with an adaptor for the above electronic K mount. I could even see some "pocket" APS cameras with built in zoom (or even prime) lenses. Pentax were very strong in the film era with their excellent ESPIO models, I could see the same pattern happening if sales grow rapidly in this area.
It would be nice but I don't see Pentax supporting 3 lens lines and some also want an FF so that would be 4... that's simply too much.

Tim now you're bringing new facts, I didn't thought about the weight thing but if you don't have a reversible screen and keyboard then you can bring the weight down quite a bit it would still be heavier.
Still a net book is more functional then a iPad, certainly for photographers.
You can run lightroom on your device to order your RAW photos for example, for now such a thing isn't insight for the iPad.
No it's a number of things of course the numbers they sell but the hype did a lot for it.
Like said the Cowon S9 has better audio quality then the iPod so if it's all about music why wouldn't the Cowon S9 sell more?
Only with the interface you could say the iPod is better but with the rest...
And if we talk about numbers sold then Pentax must also be quite bad photo brand
I would like to see numbers that show that it is better then those UMPC and other devices that looks like the iPad, like you said the UMPC hardly sold an unit so why would the iPad be different... because it's from Apple of course, why else?
The syncing stuff isn't so special, your iPhone probably has it as well and I know my HTC does sync as well as does my browers and since the browers has the sync online it even sync with PC on schools
And if we talk about synce then google android must be the king, it also put his data online so you can pick up any android phone and sync.
Now I rather have an iPhone that fits in my pockets
If it just had a tweaked down OSX that support OSX programs then I really would have considered one since like you said it's easy to take with you but now is use is to limiting.
Photomonk put this in words better then me

Yes and no, post processing blur is always a bit different then the real thing. Gaussian blur in photoshop...?

Oh wait this is going the wrong way.
Those shaped things are fun but not what I mean, all I want to do is get a smoother bokeh/out of focus blur to enhance the photo, not making the blur more distracting be shapes
The idea is the have the highlight that are now shapes but make it into soft dots, creating a smooth and pleasant background.
So making something like this
into this
What makes the first one so distracting is that the blur disks are doughnut shaped and those give those hard lines, if you can make it into soft dots it will be like the last one.

Tim I'm indeed a bit annoyed because you put words in my mouth I haven't used.
This for example, could you please show me where I said that?

I think you're referring to this but it has a far different meaning then what you suggest now.For example your saying that you don't like the iPad because a Netbook has better battery life.

Those netbooks aren't that much bigger and they can run almost 11hours with one charge and they do run a full OS on it, so it can be done.
You also said you can't argue with numbers but you only showed how many iPods and iPhones they sold and that does not say so much about a product besides that it is popular, so I asked for some numbers that showed that the iPad is a good product besides the brand name and I'm still waiting. Quote:
Some people are never satisfied Why would you want to run full Mac OS X on it (don't forget there is no mouse and no trackpad). A full OS will also dramatically reduce the current battery life.
Because of the programs you can use, okay some might run a bit slow but i want to do more with it then a smartphone/iphone.Some people are never satisfied Why would you want to run full Mac OS X on it (don't forget there is no mouse and no trackpad).

Indeed I might be wrong for what to use this for... so what is the use of the iPad, what is it try to be?You want it to be more similar to all of these things that already exist to serve different purposes. No offence intended, but that simply isn't what this device is about.

Great to hear you're more comfortable using Tv and Av, Av is the mode most users use here and you should be able to do most things with it.
Sport setting just mean fast shutterspeed most of the time, sometimes it's better to use a longer shutterspeed to get the feel of movement in your photo.
Look at the girl on the bike that's what I mean. link

Yep I know Sony
It does however make things very clear with pictures, you can even play with and focal length and aperture to see the effect on the DOF.
Angela, good luck with the course, do you know what the objective will be for next week?
