RE: Interesting K7 review

2009-09-07 Thread Desjardins, Steve
I rarely enter the OS debates (being Catholic I already have a religion) but I 
currently own a MacBook and a Dell laptop.  I inherited the MacBook when my 
daughter went off to Africa.  I use the MacBook on a regular basis as my home 
computer.  It's a good machine, but it's just no light-years ahead of the 
Windows system.  They both work fine and neither freeze.  

Let's modernize our debate and go to iPhone vs. Blackberry.

Oh, they get a lot more than Office right.

Visual Studio is hands down the best interactive development environment
out there, and has been for the last decade or longer.  The rest of the
world still hasn't caught up with the functionality of the debugger I was
using on Apollo workstations almost twenty years ago.

Not that I'm a fan of Microsoft's business practices (although nowadays
Apple is at least as bad, if not worse).  But I respect the quality of
their development tools, even if I use very little other than the basic
compilers (and the Standard Template Library);  MFC, for example, is an 
ugly attempt to force everybody into the Microsoft view of the world.
Borland's OWL was a much cleaner abstraction, but look where that went.

Office is excellent from a user perspective. It's a nightmare for most
other things. I could tell you many a horror story from where I work.
:-(
Microsoft's OS'es however, and XP in particular, deserves a lot less
bashing than it gets from the Linux/Apple fanboys. It's as if they
judge MS products based on verdicts given by the computer industry's

Unfortunately, because of the lifecycle of these things, by the time they

rather than fix the bugs in the old product, they release a new one with

My experience suggests that too. I always keep my K20D set +0.7 as standard 
(that's good for shooting RAW keeping histogram 'to the right'). That 
native -0.7 EV to compensate for is probably a conservative setting for JPEG 
shooters.


The K-7 I've tested was better set to +0.3 instead of +0.7 of the K20D. So 
it can be said that the K-7 overexposes upon the K20D, which in my opinion 
underexposes.

Scroll down to the gallery of 8 images and take a look at the configuration in 
the top row, far right. Makes for an interesting looking camera, can't really 
call it a DSLR since it's not; it has no shutter. They call it a DSMC (Digital 
Stills and Motion Camera).

FF sensor brain unit (sans grip, lenses, viewfinders, etc.) is almost $10K.

They're aiming squarely at the movie industry; it's not particularly
price-sensitive.

Personally, while I think the conception is great, I expect the
long-term system integration issues to hammer the folks at RED.

Interesting review.  I did notice that he seems to be complaining about 
how much detail the sensor can capture, when he complains about how 
critical focus has to be because of the sensor's resolution.  The fix 
for this is simple just down res the captured image.  It will /look/ 
sharper.
