eSata is the simplest solution... 5x faster than USB.
eSATA is 300MB/s and USB is 1,5MB/s so don't know how you come with the number 5 eSata is the simplest solution... 5x faster than USB.

Don...Thanks! I didn't intend you to show us how you did that shot. Some of the mystic has evaporated, and I thought you were so clever LOL.
It is way beyond my imagination, I think that the concept and then the actual doing of the shot is great. Enhanced my already high opinion of your work.
Thanks for responding so generously.
once you break 'em down many of the best shots you'll see are actually deceptively simple.Don...Thanks! I didn't intend you to show us how you did that shot. Some of the mystic has evaporated, and I thought you were so clever LOL.

you could get a similar shot with little more than a window and a reflector or off camera flash, but in the studio, we have to create the whole illusion......
and you're welcome... I don't mind sharing when I can...
I have the kr. it is a fine camera.

Sorry Don I wasn't going to comment but thoramay seems to have invited me.
there's nothing to apologize for... a little friendly ribbing is fine by me. Those that can't take it shouldn't dish it out. It was getting a little close to having JR make one of his "Interventions" so best to just let it go... all the way around....Sorry Don I wasn't going to comment but thoramay seems to have invited me.

Brilliant, Don. Should give dougf8 something to moan about, me thinks.
Thoramay, I can't remember moaning about ANY images on here. And the last time (I think) I commented in detail on one of Don's images, it was to award him first place in a fortnightly competition. Don is a fine photographer.Brilliant, Don. Should give dougf8 something to moan about, me thinks.

look at the style of that camera... closer to a video cam in design, than slr, but it is convertable with a pull out grip... very clever way to make the camera holdable to which ever buyers intended use..Don wrote:

What are they patenting? Can't be the interchangeable lens system as Canon have that already?Panasonic is patenting a design.

one peice of stretcy waisband material, two pieces of peel and stick velcro tabs... one peice of foil bubble plastic from a car window shade (all of which come from a dollar/bargian store for a buck each) and some black duct tape and haybailing wire (or light coathangar wire)
A pair of scissors and five minutes and you can make one really easily...
cut out a shape, tape a strip or two of wire to the back, attach with stretch band or rubber band, bend to desired shape and go...

once I get past all the deer, senile citizens going 40 clicks under the posted limit, drunk farmers all over the road, sometimes in farm equipment, and rednecks that think their pick-up trucks are formula one racecars, NONE OF WHOM will use a turn signal (unless by accident in which case it stays on for hours), I then get to Winnipeg where the REALLY BAD DRIVERS ARE.... the worst in Canada if not the WORLD.... Manitoba drivers will have you abandoning all hope for "Evolution and Natural selection" and praying to God to "Kill them all!" no matter what your belief system is.
I don't think a flash bender is worth the time, gas or risk of death!

Come on guys, the lady asked for :-
Need a simple, non geeky, non techy answer to this please .
saying esata is easy enough... but that would be on a system that supports it! same with fire wire! but if she got gigbit ethernet and it is mostly for backup then yes there are nas solutions that can be set up as raids and that is the easiest, non techiest answer you can offer... she doesn't need to understand HOW it works so much as she needs to convey what she's looking for to somebody that can sell her and help her set up what she needs.
makes me wonder how an airport control tower operator would feel if a radio transmission comes in from an airbourne 747 saying "I don't know how to fly this thing, the pilot's unconcious. Just give me the quick, non techie instructions......" not like skydiving.... where the whole skydiving course is irrelevant... two short statements on a business card would suffice just fine...
"Jump out of plane"
"Pull that little cord on your lapel"
Good luck, have a nice day!
