You do know that 50% of the light doesn't reach the sensor because of the pelicile mirror.
For outdoor it would do but indoors it certainly has an impact
the viewfinder would work ok for outdoor use and the lcd for low light situations.

As title really, any rumours regarding a potential Pentax EVIL camera?
other than that there is little else for rumors except for Ned Bunnel using the word "When" not "IF" in a statement a while back....
It wouldn't be the smallest evil, but it would have the biggest lens selection of all.... no adaptor required...

Pretty much useless.
you will get best results using other, bigger light sources, and the on camera flash as "on axis fill" to reduce shadows giving the illusion of softer light.

the blown highlights in number two are distracting.
now if you could get part way in between, and have the color from two and retain the detail in the ice from one, it'd be better all the way around.

I prefer to shoot everything on manual, and use automation only sparingly.
how heavily do you rely on auto anything?

Don, have you tried this new Contour HD camera? Sounds great for weddings. You could be shooting video while taking stills with your new 645 (did you hear that, Father Christmas? A new 645.)

Hi all!
Just wondering if any of you out there have had any experience with the Lumiquest SB-III or Ltp or other similar products.
I'd like to get a mini-softbox in this size, and I'm wondering if there are any other good alternatives. My priorities are (in order):
-easy/quick to setup
-small packed size
-durable
I think the lumiquest might be the winner, just wondering what else is out there. The Ltp looks great, but I'm afraid of it falling apart and drooping down when it's been in the sun for too long. thanks!
light softness is controlled by three things... size of the light source and distance from light to subject.
any soft box under 10 inches is useful only at very close range like macro work.... and can easily be replaced with a piece of white foam core board.
