After a few hundred shots you adjust for it. I take multiple shots based on the preview. I sometimes hoot in rapid succession while fiffling with the zoom. Heck! Most film SLRs don't shoot 100%. The only one I can think of at the moment is a Nikon F.
But like anything else with experience you kind of know what you are seeing and what you are shooting. You can always go a bit wide and crop.
I dunno. Photographers vs picture takers is a fine line. I drag my DSLR all over the place. I anticipate if I need my bag and most times don't. When I walk it is now instinct to protect it with a hand if need be. It hangs over my shoulder and at my side much of the time relatively unnoticed.
I think most of the comments about the point/shoot cameras and how big and bulky DSLRs are from people who have never carried them. Many times I turn it on, put it on automatic and walk. If I see someting I lift and shoot. Your basic snapshot.
My point is it is not a big deal to have it available. It is "just there" when I want or need it. And I think vacations and picnics and what not are where it receives the most use. Just because you have the control over the exposures doesn't mean you use it all the time.
I agree it is overkill for most people but to say it results in less shots is incorrect.
That said I use it for some serious shots but also a lot of point and shoot shots on auto.
Maybe a few photo classes are in order? Like how to deal with DoF and the exposure aspects and how they relate to each other (shutter speed vs. F stop).
A little classroom education helps.
How do you want it to behave? Do you think you can write code that does this? I wish you luck.
In the old days it was a lot more work to get the shot depending on the latitude of the film and the conditions, the development time to try and get the perfect negative, the paper printed on and even the stop bath temps. It was fun but frustrating.
Gee. The same as today with digital.;)
Experiment, dude. The force demands it. Some shots don't come easy.
Call me an old fart, but while I'm sure I'll eventually spring for a dSLR (or a 6x6 digital back when they ain't >US$12K), I'm not looking forward to hauling yet another set of batteries and rechargers with me. It takes up space in my bags where the Powerbook is supposed to go.
--
Ok, I accept ze challenge! You are an old fart.
That said, and on a dare no less, I can fit my charger, cord and probably seven batteries or more in a sandwich baggie. Not that I would but you get the picture. Not to mention numerous SD cards. Total weight would (estimating) be less than a pound.
My point is hauling a few sets of batteries and a charger around is no big deal compared to a a PB. You wouldn't notice the loss in space and the weight.
The retailer is still apparently debating price models. One option Wal-Mart is considering is a free digital download of the movie along with a purchase of the DVD version at a Wal-Mart store. Another option is letting customers purchase a download of the movie for a few extra dollars when they buy the DVD version at the store.
Maybe I am missing something here but if you own the DVD why download a copy? Most computers have DVD players. Just shove it in and watch. And you just know the download version will have DRM.
Ok, contestant, do you want door number one, door number two or door number three? I want... door number one... TWO! No, wait... oh Monty! Your time is running out, contestant... Ok, ok... door number THREE!!!! Carol, show our contestant what she won... Look! You have won... a donkey! Not just any donkey but a real live one from Pedros Farm in Mexico!!! qz
shell:revealed isn't about Windows Vista, it's about Windows. Many of the people on the Windows Client team have been here a very long time and have plenty of knowledge to share with the world. This is the place to find out what we're doing, how we're doing it, and why. This site is dedicated to all Windows users.
I realize that is probably where their efforts are but it is not dedicated to Vista as the headline states.
"I am very concerned about our national heritage, and I am very concerned that films that I watched when I was young and the films that I watched throughout my life are preserved, so that my children can see them."
Mine did and still does. It was my first computer and works fine to this day. I spent many hours playing Kingdom and Rat Run on that thing. Learned BASIC on it. I took the best of the BASIC ganes and converted them from PET to C64 then to Amiga. The Amiga was harder because it was not line based.
Trivia: MS wrote one program for the Amiga. It was BASIC. And sorry, it sucked.
Attributing a master strategy as the reviewer in question has done is akin to Coca Cola aficionados who attribute New Coke as a masterful ploy to boost "Classic Coke" sales and loyalty over Pepsi Cola. Yeah, it turned out that CC pulled their butts out of a tight spot with the re-introduction of Coke Classic to appease the revolt, but calling it master strategy is revisionist history at best.
Actually it was a master marketing move and worked beautifully.
Coke was releasing a a new product. What better ways to get it out than apply all manufacturing capability to the new product to get it on the shelf?
In the meantime they knew all the other Cokers would bitch and moan and complain their Coke was gone.
After two weeks of media frenzy it came back.
But it was a changed formula. Corn syrup instead of sugar. Corn syrup is cheaper.
After the two weeks no one noticed the change in the formula. They had forgotten the original taste and CC got it close enough.
Throw me a bone here. Since when does a major company toss a flagship product for no reason?
Think about this in computer terms. MS pulls Windows whatever and only provides Diet Windows. The revolt happens and MS goes back to the previous Windows. Do you think that version is unchanged?
I think not.
Oh, BTW they did tout how it was unchanged in their history of Coke except for the corn syrup. They left out that cocaine was removed in 1929
Then we have this which disputes what I have said but...
The whole idea that Apple could 'kill' Microsoft or Dell is too far-fetched to even consider. The only way either company could die is by suicide.
I can't speak for Dell but where is the loss for MS? You buy a Mac, you buy a license to run Windows. MS may actually gain more market share this way. I have a Mac but not Intel. Being able to run both on the same box makes me consider buying a new Mac AND a license for Windows.
Then Parallels with dual boot Windows/Linux and maybe x86 Solaris tossed in just because I can.
Then my current Mac becomes a file/print/music/video server.
Works for me.
