dp2 quattro showed up a couple days ago, but unpacked tonight. Didn't want to take a new camera out in the rain, but two test shots from the garage. Both iso100 & f/16. These are unfortunately not full resolution. Anyone have a recommendation for an account that allows such?

What is consciousness? / Do you have some second thoughts about the mission?

Those are some big ass micro SD cards.

Not sure which is stranger - that it's "not art" or the phrase "photography has finally arrived as art." Fortunately a listing of Jonathan Jones other articles at the end of this one indicates how much weight you should give him.

Nice shots Al. I'd keep an eye out for Matango though.

^ Favorite Mike Nichols tidbit since his passing - Dustin Hoffman was convinced by Nichols to play The Graduates very WASPy character (in book) by saying "Well, maybe he's a Jew on the inside." Best film worried character ever (at least not played by Woody Allen). Hope things calm down for you Stretch.

Uncomps are great.

Still no MQA support.

Mmmmm. Cheesy tater tots.

Interesting and very curious. Against the trend concerning DSD though, huh?

Here's the funny thing - I still kinda do. Maybe naive, but all the campaign disasters aside (and I wouldn't suggest ignoring for any future purchases), I still think the Geek Out 720 sounds decent and hope this scales accordingly. Expectations wrapped in the price paid blanket of course. Can anyone more knowledgable than I (everyone) tell anything from this?

Over time we've certainly got to know a great deal about Light Harmonic business practices, but we'll find out about SQ and/or BJs shortly. Supposedly their shipping order is campaign waves (1st, 2nd, Purgatory/Current, etc.), sub-ordered by model (Pulse, Pulse X, Pulse S), further divided by order date, at a rate of about 20 units per day (though have my suspicions about this). Not sure anyone here ordered (and didn't cancel or upgrade) a base model early, so we're probably a few weeks away from receiving one, but the few of us still in included early orders and base models. Have to admit I prefer the experience of waiting on new gear arriving from a company I respect.
