Aside from updating WordPress before I’m away for Thanksgiving, I though I’d mention that RED has promised more hype on December 3rd which they guaranteed to make their previous hype look insignificant. I will definitely be posting something about whatever this new thing is. Since they claim it will be so significant, I suppose it means they’re buying Canon and Nikon. [...] Continue reading WordPress updated and the promise of more RED hype Red has announced a bevy of new gear, a core part of much of it being a new modular camera system much like I have talked about before. I don’t know if this will shake up the industry like they and so many of their fans expect. They have some very avid fans but I’m not wholly convinced that their modular system would give me a DSLR I’d rather use. It looks bulky, ergonomically questionable, and the prices are quite high. [...] Continue reading Red attempts to shake up the industry with modular Scarlet and Epic systems This is the kind of news about the photo industry that intersets me! Sigma now owns Foveon and its three-layer X3 sensor technologies. This is something I saw some rumors about only a few days ago (too busy to keep up) and is a really interesting revelation. [...] Continue reading Sigma buys Foveon Having finally had the opportunity to play with the new batch of “affordable” full frame cameras I wanted to write down my thoughts on all of them. They’re all impressive cameras in their own respects, each with particular strengths that make them stand out among the rest and I enjoyed using and handling all of them at the recent photo expo. [...] Continue reading The new full frame cameras (Canon, Nikon and Sony) After visiting the PhotoPlus expo the three of us headed back in the direction of Penn Station with the intention of finding food along the way before taking the subway in the general direction of Ground Zero. We wound up at the Tick Tock diner for lunch which turned out to be a pretty amusing time. [...] Continue reading A rainy day in NYC (photo gallery) The trip this past weekend was over in a flash, but it was a fun time. I’ll go over our visit to the PDN PhotoPlus expo in this post and the rest of the trip in another. After signing in and getting our passes the first place we went was to the Nikon booth since it was right up in the front. They had a very impressive spread, with the usual chopped up D3 to admire. [...] Continue reading 2008 PDN PhotoPlus Expo Tomorrow my friend and I are heading down to Long Island to visit a friend of mine and we’ll all be going in to NYC on Saturday to check out the PhotoPlus expo. I don’t plan to be lugging a lot of gear around with me but I haven’t entirely decided what to bring. I’ll have some pictures to post either way and will put up at least one post about the trip once I’m back. [...] Continue reading Trip to Long Island, NYC, Photo Plus expo and more Photokina came and went… a while ago at this point. I wanted to comment on what was interesting but have been too busy to get around to it… until now. There were a few interesting things that happened, most importantly (to me at least) was the long awaited announcement of the 5D Mark II, finally bringing a close to the mid range full frame announcement insanity. [...] Continue reading Better late than never: Photokina reaction Finally updated to version 2.6.2. [...] Continue reading WordPress updated X-rite has a really neat online Farnsworth-Munsell 100 hue test that you can use to test your color vision. I want to be completely clear that I make no guarantees about the accuracy of this test though. I performed it on a new LED backlit LCD which has particularly vivid colors and scored a 107 on it which is considerably better than my performance using the real thing in a proper viewing booth with a calibrated light source (I got an average of 163 under those conditions). [...] Continue reading Test your color vision with X-rite’s online 100 hue test
