  1. jeff what camera are ^ with? exif viewer doesnt seem to want to tell me. i really like the first one.

    You have to download the photo first and then open it with your exif viewer.

    is there much difference between the nex 5 and the 5n. i dont know what to do with anything past ISO 3200 as things get too weird for me so not sure the super iso would be of use but is the performance at say ISO 3200 for the 5n?

    Better low light performance on 5n, but I don't think it matters that much in real world usage.

  2. I was updating mine at around 1:20PM EST. I didn't have Error 3200 but iTunes told me my 4.3.5 was the most updated version....

    after trying few time, I finally updated my phone to iOS5 and the whole process took about 10 mins.

  3. Rude Hand Gestures of the World

    rude-hand-gestures-4%255B3%255D.jpg?imgmax=800

    Five fathers

    Meaning: You have five fathers, i.e., your mother is a whore

    Used in: Arab countries, Caribbean

    If you are looking to get yourself deported from Saudi Arabia – possibly amid a riot – you can do no better than the Five Fathers gesture. The most inflammatory hand gesture in the Arab world, this sign accuses the subject’s mother of having so many suitors that paternity is impossible to determine. To execute, point your left index finger at your right hand, while pursing all fingers of the right hand together. The insult is extreme and almost certain to provoke violence.

  4. The 1 System isn't something marketed for those of us who have FX or DX.

    Nikon made a good decision on smaller size sensor because shallow DOF isn't what average Facebook shooter would prefer.

    Shallow DOF makes it harder to get subjects in focus for these causal shooters.

    The "Smart Photo Selector" mode is very useful for them too. It takes 20 full-resolution images from a single shutter-button press (including some captured before the button is fully depressed), then analyses them,saving what it judges to be the best five (even recommending the very best of the bunch).

    That a look at Who's it for on Dpreview

  5. Slight backstory:

    I'm getting back into shooting 35mm film. I think.

    Today I bought a used 35mm film-scanner off of craigslist to scan a bunch of old negatives (I have about 1500 B&W negatives I shot when I was 17-22, and a whole bunch of color negatives from before that) and to scan new 35mm film that I shoot.

    Its DOA. I'm bummed.

    Not sure how practical or useful is this, but worth a try if you have a macro lens
