Mike to be honest, I don't really like the bokeh.
The white lines looks very busy.
The Bokeh in the front blur looks very good though so the lens has some correction problems

I believe there was even something about this here on this forum.
Mike seems to have real answer though, that they didn't notice that earlier.

Wish they would say what these updates are for though.
If you don't have problems then don't update is probably the advice for these minor updates.

Gaming monitors are also very different and use different types of screens because the speed of the images needs to be refreshed instantly with a Photo monitor we want colour accuracy and we don't bother if we get a little ghosting when playing games.
The gaming panels are mostly TN types and those are not so good for colour.
You need to want to get the PVA or IPS panel, bear in mind that there are even variations in these types but most are good.
Samsung use PVA in most of their screens and LG use IPS of course there are also other brands that use these types of panels but these are the main ones.
HP also use PVA I believe and DELL, IPS so out of my head.
Screen size is personal but get one with a decent resolution.

The Selphy paper has two perforated strips. Once these are torn off, the photos are postcard sized (and the paper has pre-printed markings on the back to allow you to use it as a postcard).
You have the postcard size 100x148 mm but also the L size 89×119 mm, creditcard size paper 54x86 mm in normal and sticker, Mini-sticker 22x17,3 mm and panorama paper of 100x200 mm
My stepfather has a Selphy and what the printer prints is very good, the Pogo seems to be less from hear say.

Problem here also is that the ZINK paper is hard to come by, in most computer shops here you can easily get paper/inkt set for the Canon Selphy.
Also battery life of the Pogo is 10 prints which is too little, Selphy can get 36 prints from his battery and if there is a normal battery powered version then that's even better.
I Already spotted some Selphy with battery on the second-hand market so that's probably what I will do.

Just found out that the older models of the Canon Selphy came with a battery so that might be interesting, will need to search for them though but might be worth it.

Its 6.30am X-mas morning here in Sydney, Santa has just left and I asked him to drop in on you Stefan, so you don't feel left out. He needs to check his list first and see if you have been naughty or nice.
I'm just home and am a bit tipsy right now... wine, champagne, tequila, coffee mix and a 15 year old malt whisky at the moment...
I hope I haven't miss Santa
Sinterklaas already checked me out beginning this month and I got some presents... since it is the same person (Sinterklaas/Santa Claus) I don't think he will find me suddenly a bad boy now
Although I think he will skip me because I already got something

Too bad that the connector is proprietary design
I must say that the price is very actractive indeed.
What do you think of the size of the prints, I'm afraid I find them too small.

If so then it won't have any useful effect with digital.
You could desaturate the yellow in post processing, it lose colour then but it should still have the same brightness (luminous?).
Problem is though that the yellow sodium light is the only light source so everything colours yellow since that's the only light a colour can reflect, so you could end with an almost black and white photo.
