THE Best DigitalRev video evar. How to shoot nudes.

Hehe, it may be a laughing stock, but heck I would never have taken all these photos if the little EOS-M wasn't always in my car Another one. IMG_0690 by drjlo1, on Flickr

I would still buy the A7r IF at least one of the following were true: that Zeiss 35 f/2.8 is 35 f/2 at same price; there are good options for TTL triggers and speedlites; Zeiss 55 f/1.8 is a little smaller and $300 less, X-sync is at least 1/250th and FPS at least 5-6. So looks like I am waiting for A7r Mk II..

Rather simplistic article, but I must say Sony has earned my photographic respect with the A7®. I mean, where is CaNikon's full-frame, mirrorless, portable, interchangeable camera, at a reasonable price no less? I have a lot of $$$ tied up in Canon, but I have a feeling Sony might be getting some of that soon.

Not mine but had to share this one which stopped me in my tracks. Sony A7r + Nikon 14-24mm. Kudos to "Gianmaria Veronese." Looks like a Vulcano! by Gianmaria Veronese, on Flickr

Prepared a nice pasta with leftover scallop and shrimp. Sure tasted better than restaurant pasta of recent memory if I may say so myself EOSE0641 by drjlo2, on Flickr

I tried the current A&K players briefly. They sure look nice, but one would be much better served by spending the money on really good portable headphones/IEM's instead. BTW, do people really carry around a portable music player IN ADDITION to their cell phones? These days I'm happy enough with my Samsung Android phone playing music through my trusty old Ultimate Ears

Vito, I hope you find this video tutorial as useful as I have.

OT. Which version of Sylvania 12BH7 is that, black/grey plate, 50's/60's, and O/D getter?

Very sad news. Makes us wonder what *we* would do if we had a rare Porsche Carrera GT for a short time.. "The 40-year-old Walker was riding in a red Porsche GT about 3:30 p.m. when the sports car flew off the road and slammed into a tree in Santa Clarita, authorities and witnesses said. The car burst into flames." http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/paul-walker-dies-crash-report-article-1.1533786 CarreraGT by drjlo2, on Flickr

Yeah, I prefer the Distagon look also. Since Sony and Zeiss cooperate to make AF lenses often, I am hoping there will be a Sony AF version of Otus 55 mm in the future. Anyway, insomnia sometimes lets you take photos real early.. EOSE0182cross by drjlo1, on Flickr

"$4.900 with Solen polypropylene caps, $5.100 with Solen Teflon caps" Wow, I did not even realize Studio Six sells for this type of money Who designs ALO amps? I recall a time when they were just a cable/recabling company not too long ago...

So this thing will power low-impedance 'phones, high-impedance 'phones, K1000, regular speakers, difficult-to-drive planars, and electrostats (via transformer); Jack of all trades and master of ALL (or none)?

Hmm. Both are girls EOSD0023 by drjlo1, on Flickr

What exactly is wrong with it? I thought it sounded nice in a brief listen. Since I'm trying to be glass-is-half-full this year, how about a list of *GOOD* Electrostat Amps?

OR... I can just buy the A7r and tell my life it was a $200 point-and-shoot. Heck, she won't know the difference.

Hey, I still have one of those HE Audio electrostats, which looks somewhat dated sitting next to my SR009. Do you have a link for the company or dealer?

That line of thinking seems to be exactly my conclusions as well. Heck, I may take this opportunity to convince my wife that *we* need the Sony A7r since the phone cameras aren't cutting it.

Yup, I had high hopes for Sony QX100, too. But it just does not seem ready for prime-time. If I find nothing good, though, it may still be in the cards. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3jgKD2ascc

My tubby fingers just cannot deal with iPhone's 4" screen. Unless iPhone goes to at least a 4.6" screen, it's no go for me. I actually would prefer a non-zoom, fixed lens on my phone camera, ideally with a fast aperture (f/2.2 like Lumia 1020) and as large a sensor as would fit. 1/1.5" sensor like Lumia 1020 would give me decent utility in low light, just enough to let me leave aps-c or full frame cameras home.
