So it looks like Polaroid might be saved after all. Again, see how the important part was that they purchased the original factory and hired some of the original engineers, just like I pointed out they'd probably need to do.
Pentax announces the P70, with a 28mm-e wide angle. Yes, people are suddenly realizing that it's more useful to go wide than long. I'm not complaining, given that I've been saying this for years now.
Joy and I were discussing gear purchases. See, he's been selling some of his cameras and trying not to make the same camera purchase mistakes a second time. He read my article about how I'm not usually subject to gearlust like everybody else, which is why I haven't sprung for a full-frame digital SLR, like the D700 or the 5D Mk II. We were talking about the Mamiya 6 & 7 rangefinder cameras, which is pretty much a lust object for me...
I've been wondering about this one myself. The nuts and bolts are obvious, but I was still thinking about how to bend a substantial piece of metal into an L shape, whereas this guy found a source where you can get already L-shaped pieces of metal.
So you've probably seen the RED cameras on the internet now. Their primary goal is to get filmmakers who are so very accustomed to shooting digital video for shorts and low-end products to shoot RED cameras when they work on big Hollywood productions. And, it turns out, many of the equipment needed for a digital video camera of high enough quality for Hollywood is also good enough for photography...
Apparently people are mad that the D3x is $8,000 for a 24 megapixel camera and the Sony A900 is $3,000 for a 24 megapixel camera (with Zeiss prime lenses available).
But you can always bring out an up-and-coming meme, I guess.
Personally, I hate Black Friday when everybody is out shopping for Christmas joy on the same day, with doorbuster sales that have me worried about dodging bullets and getting trampled.
You knew it was coming. The D2 line was split between the fast sports-oriented body and the slow landscape-oriented body. Now the same is true for the D3x vs. the D3.
