OT: Sandisk and Lexar drop SDHD prices

Sandisk moved first and Lexar followed. No one knows if this is permanent, but with certainty one can say it is a good time to buy. 16 GB Class 10 SDHD card for $21 (20mb/sec) or $29 (30mb/sec).

Re: dcresource.com review of Pentax Q

Do you prefer "equivalent focal length"? I feel your pain, but until we all make a concerted effort to switch to FOV and some measure of DoF, we need this kind of info somehow. 5 to 15mm is not really intuitive to me. On Fri, Nov 11, 2011 at 1:02 AM, P. J. Alling wrote: > OK, so I just started

Re: PESO: 19th Battalion War Memorial

Looks like a well designed and maintained memorial. The observance of Remembrance Day seems to be increasing here with a minute's silence being widely observed. I happened to be in a major hardware store at 11 am today and the whole of the store's activities stopped as the Last Post was played

Behind the contact sheet

In a bookshop a couple of days ago I noticed the new Magnum book called Magnum Contact Sheets, and here it is today on the BBC: It's top of my list of photo books to buy. Unless one of you wants to buy it for me to celebrate 11/11/11. I'm surprised
