Hi, I'm trying to keep it legible and easy to read. The font is derived from a document typed for a "typographic conference" in Mainz, Germany, in 1966, so it's authentic. I do have another type face that's more along the lines you describe, but it's not as legible, and detracts from the message.

That has all the drawbacks of a simple digital back except one; it's rather easier to switch between this and film in the same body. It had additional drawbacks, too, as there's no way to communicate with the device once it's inserted in the camera. But for the purposes you describe no such communication is necessary. It suffers from the usual set of technological limitations; small sensor size (so nowhere near full frame); limited memory capacity (about 24 shots, at unspecified compression), although this has been addressed by an external image store you can transfer data to (although you can't do this while the device is in the camera); and a low-pixel-count CMOS sensor (to reduce power consumption). It's biggest problem, though, is the price - it costs about as much as a typical 3-megapixel digital camera such as the Nikon 880, while offering nowhere near their level of performance. Kodak are also said to be looking into this kind of technology, so it is possible that something will eventually show up on the street that offers performance levels a bit close to what a stand-alone digital camera can do, and with a lower price premium. But that won't be for a year or so. And while some of us are fortunate enough that price isn't the most important consideration in deciding whether to buy cameras, it's still hard to rationalise paying more for less functionality and less convenience - carrying two bodies isn't that much worse than carrying one body plus a separate back in a protective case, which is the only real advantage a swappable back would offer. -- John Francis [EMAIL PROTECTED] Silicon Graphics, Inc.

Re: check this out
I think the coolest way to build a hybrid body would be to put the sensor where the focus screen is. Then leave everything else alone like film transport. The only thing that would stink would be no optical viewfinder. But the metering system could be a lot like the LX, as it would have to be put behind the mirror as there would be no other place for it. Todd At 02:19 PM 3/8/01 -0800, you wrote: >"Alexandre A. P.

Don't need to much to go to digital But, > if you want a LCD display to see the picture, do gamma correction, > crop the image, and send it by e-mail to you address list that is > saved hundred miles away from you That is a different point Well, if you want it to behave almost exactly like film, why not just use film, and be done with it? Digital for the sake of digital doesn't seem worthwhile. And why on earth would you want to restrict the maximum flash synchronization speed to what you can achieve with a moving mechanical shutter? Fill flash at fast shutter speeds is a really nice feature, and one where digital sensors excel today. The only way you can get this with a traditional film-based camera with a focal-plane shutter is to pulse a flash several times. This only works if all your flashes have this capability. Another point - it will be quite some time before a full-frame sensor is available at a price point that makes sense for the mass market. So the digital sensors won't be full frame. This means you will have to show framing lines in the viewfinder somehow. At least the PZ-1p has interchangeable screens, so there is some way to do this. And if you start using digital to it's full abilities, those extra features come in handy. An LCD display to show me *exactly* 100% of what I will get in the frame is nice. So, too, would be the ability to zoom in to a small area of the frame for critical focus adjustments. A digital back *could* have these features, but only in an external LCD screen which is susceptible to scratches, and hard to see in bright daylight. And, again, if you add those features, that will increase the cost, making the putative price advantage much smaller. The ability to preview a histogram of the scene, before pressing the shutter, is a lot better than using the typical metering abilities. It's not quite as good as taking multiple spot-meter readings, but it's getting pretty close. Digital image capture technology offers a lot of potential features. A digital camera that manages to turn these into powerful tools for the photographer will have a good chance of selling quite well. I don't think there's enough of a market for a pure 'digital film' product - most of the people who might buy it will be better served by a simple digital camera that has no compromises made for film. And those who stick with film because of the advantages *it* offers are the one who are likely to demand more of their system as a whole, and least likely to be satisfied by the constraints of a hybrid. Your opinion, obviously, differs. But while you might be satisfied with the limitations such a system would enforce, I don't think you are representative of the typical consumer. Pentax (and the other manufacturers) will sell more cameras by ignoring you and putting their research and marketing dollars somewhere else. Don't feel too bad - they are ignoring me, too. I'd rather have a PZ-2p than an MZ-S, and I'd rather have a $2000 digital camera with a partial-frame sensor that a $7000 MZ-D. As for in-camera cropping, and email - those are your strawmen.

That's because Pentax & Contax will have 6+ mp cameras, followed by 8mp from Nikon, and on its heels 12mp from Canon. It's a new leapfrog game. Just like the AE-1 in the late 70s had everyone doing.

Much cheaper to get a spare body than to duplicate all of our lenses. I imagine that Pentax will have to release a hybrid body if the technology shifts that way, especially since they pride themselves on their compatibility (and rightly so). My question is: would having a hybrid body really be useful right now? If you're shooting both film and digital in the same shoot, then you should probably have a separate body for each so you don't have to change backs all the time. If you shoot one or the other, but not both at the same time, then it might come in handy. chris - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

The reason I said that is because I really don't believe Pentax will sell a hybrid digital/film camera I would like so much to have a digital back in my camera and still can use it with film. I there is any reason to believe (not faith, please) please tell me. BTW, I don't want to give up Pentax. Alex Chris Brogden wrote: > > On Thu, 8 Mar 2001, Alexandre A. P.

Don's Photo sold a Pentax-M 28/2 for $100 CAN (about 50 cents US) because whoever priced it thought it was a 2.8. The frustrating thing about it is that I took a quick look at it shortly before it sold and thought it was a 2.8 as well.

Not that I think anything will happen; there have been absolutely no offers from anyone to buy any of the equipment listed, at any price. Perhaps people were upset that I wasn't offering any way to apportion savings among people if the total offered price exceeded the eventual purchase price; perhaps people just aren't interested. I didn't offer to split the dividends; if I made a bid on that collection it would be a business transaction, and any profit from selling off the individual items I didn't want would end up in my pocket. So would any loss, of course. I'd be prepared to discuss a dividend sharing scheme if the potential recipients would be prepared to share the losses, too. Unfair? Of course. But whose money would be on the line? But, as I said, I don't think anything will come of this - there isn't enough interest from PDML members.

I think the idea to let the designated member know how you are willing to pay for the item before the auctions is much more sensible, then you can add up all those figures and see what the maximum bid for the consortium will be. - Original Message - From: "Tonghang Zhou" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, February 23, 2001 7:05 AM Subject: Solution: was WOW!

Re: Solution: was WOW! Check this out!
I might also add, that in step 4, only one offer price per person per item will be allowed. The highest offers will be accepted. This way we avoid a bidding war amongst the list members.

We designate one member to bid on the item. 2. All other members do not bid. 3. Auction ends, the designated member negotiates deal with seller if reserve not met. 4. Assume, say the final price is $6000 (shipping included.) The designated member puts all itmes for list members to bid on piece wise, (read on!) 5. The high bidders win the their items. (read on!) 6.

The coordinator, definitely. He's the guy putting the money up front. But, looking at the list of items, there doesn't seem to be too much that wouldn't attract at least one member on the list. So, folks, care to send me your bids? Let's see if there's enough interest to make this worth pursuing. This is *not* a final commitment on my part - venturing up to $10K is a big step, and I'll need to think about it some more. But I can do all the coordinating steps, assess the group interest, etc. while I'm thinking. If I do decide to back out, and seek another angel, the only downside is that I, as well as any final underwriter, will know how much group members are prepared to bid.

(2) everyone who wants one or more items e-mails the coordinator off-list with the highest bid that they would be willing to pay for each item. (3) if two or more people want an item, it goes to the person who is willing to spend the most on it. No rebids, just a one-time highest bid. (4) if all the items are spoken for, the coordinator addes up the maximum bid amounts and places that bid (preferably near the end of the auction, but that's a whole 'nuther thread.) :) (5) if one or more of the items are not spoken for, the coordinator can post that info to the list and see if anyone bites. if no one does, they can still bid the total of everyone's maximum bids and see if they win anyway. then someone (the coordinator? split equally among the bidders?) gets a nice freebie. Whoever wants to step in and manage this thing will have to work out some sort of reliable payment method, since no one wants to be stuck with a deadbeat bidder on a sale like this. :) Just my thoughts... feel free to argue, adapt or adopt any of them. chris - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

How much do you guys think he'll fetch? $6000? (Even if you are interested in only one item and you don't have the money, this is the kind of offer where you may want to calculate and speculate whether or not it's worth taking a loan and pay back as you sell off the stuff you don't want to keep.) Will be interesting to see for how much it will sell. Lasse - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.

I was browsing my webhits and found 14hits from : http://www.bannercrafter.com which purveys a bannermaking software. They provide a sample download to build "one using this sample image" or some such language. Being a Macintosh user, the files are useless to me for checking up on what they may be up to. I suspect they have linked to my page and are using one of my photographs as part of their demo. They have a contact link, but it doesn't work! I have sent off an email to root@, postmaster@ & webmaster@ expressing my concern and offering to let them compensate me. Hmm - all just bounced back, as I kinda suspected. Follows my message to them :: __ BannerCrafter Folks I hope you have a good explanation for the 14 http referrals from your website to mine! You offer a "free" image template or something and I surely hope you are not blithely violating my copyright on any of the images from my website.
