Digital Camera Quality Passing Film?
smartbit writes "Luminous Landscape writes in their Preliminary Field Report of the Canon 1Ds 11 Megapixel camera: 'the 1Ds produces the best combination of resolution, colour accuracy and low noise that I've yet seen in a digital camera.
What about a comparison with both 35mm film and medium format? I'm afraid that film has definitively lost the battle. The 1Ds's full-frame 11MP CMOS sensor produces a 32MB file -- as big as a typical scan. But this file is sharper and more noise free than any scan I have ever seen, including drum scans. There simply isn't a contest any longer.'
Kodak's Pro 14n list price is $5000 lower and uses a similar CMOS sensor supplied by Fillfactory "
Hoover recorded an 18.6 percent decline and now ranks third from the worst, with Richard Nixon in second place with a 23.6 percent fall in his first 18 months. In other words, in the 75-year existence of the S&P 500, no president has seen the stock market index fall as much as one-quarter, before Bush's decline of more than one-third.
Ironically, given the Republicans' business-friendly reputation, the four worst performing stock-market presidents in the first 18 months are all Republicans. Ronald Reagan's 15.3 percent decline joins Hoover, Nixon and Bush at the bottom. The top two performing presidents, as measured by the S&P in their first 18 months, are Democrats, Lyndon Johnson at a plus 27.5 percent and Franklin Roosevelt at 55.1 percent.
Bill Clinton ranked sixth with a 4.2 percent gain in his first 18 months.
While almost doubling Hoover's decline in the S&P, Bush trailed the Depression-Era Republican slightly in the blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average, which measures the performance of 30 top U.S. companies. In Hoover's first 18 months, the Dow fell 24.8 percent. In Bush's 18 months, the Dow's drop was 24.3 percent. [NYT, July 22, 2002]
Though some presidents reversed the early returns of the stock markets, Bush has so far failed to inspire confidence either with his personal performance or his policies. The stock market has greeted speech after speech by Bush with double-digit declines in the Dow.
Major stock indexes are Wall Street's rough measures of expected business growth. At least during George W. Bush's first 18 months, investors are judging that those expectations are lacking - on a historic scale.
And for this one it'd be (Score:-1, Troll)

I ran across a sweet mp3 site as I was looking to buy my new car. The site is www.hugescreentv.com/car and I clicked on the "click here link on the very bottom of the page. I followed the instructions, and it took me to an awsome mp3 site. It has every song that I couldnt find on any other site. Plus, it has all of the latest movies for download, and its all free. This is now my homepage. I have so many mp3s now. Everyone should at least check this site out. www.hugescreentv.com/car
Crime scene photographers do not have the option to use digital. Film is the only way to maintain the necessary chain of evidence.
