Re: Reccomend a camera for me. Quick please ;) Newegg happens to have the Panny GX5 w/ kit zoom for $300, which is quite a deal. It cannot take an auxiliary viewfinder and it's possible the instructor prefers a camera with a viewfinder (the... |

Re: CS2 Holy cow, that's the entire CS2 suite, not just Photoshop. InDesign and Illustrator, as well as Acrobat pro, a video editor and a web design program. Back in the day it was about $2k worth of s... |

Re: Re: Re: Re: or... You might have missed this above the samples: These are from RAW with ZERO Noise Reduction and no sharpening at all: "First, there is noise reduction applied to the photos from the E-M5... |

Re: Re: or... And yet, the E-M5 has better high-ISO noise characteristics than the NEX cameras, including the 6, demonstrating the folly of picking cameras solely based on arithmetic. http://www.stevehuffphot... |

Re: My thoughts on the SONY RX1...a little review Hi Dan, Appreciate your thoughts and input, especially as somebody who's had one "out there." And your samples--yeow, that's some detail packed into that frame--good flare cont... |

Re: Case for a Panasonic Lumix GX1? Hi Rick, Congrats, the GX1 is a fine camera. I recommend the Click Elite Infinity, which is a little chest pack you anchor to your pack straps. It should fit the combination snugly and keeps the... |

Re: A New Point & Shoot Hi Jake, They both have a CIPA rating of 200 shots. DPR had this to say about the 95: "Canon quotes a battery life of approximately 200 images per charge, but in our experience this repr... |

Mountain Gear I've placed a few orders with Mountain Gear, going as far back as when they were based in Idaho, and they've responded flawlessly each time. I admire the breadth and high quality of their sele... |

Backcountrygear.com I have to put in a plug for these folks, with whom I've shopped on line and over the phone, and who also have a store in soggy Eugene, Oregon. They have a great backpacking and climbing selection f... |

Recreational Equipment, Inc. (REI) As another Seattle kid who loved few things more than pilgrammages to the Capitol Hill store, I still associate the smell of cresote with hiking gear. It's hard to imagine backpacking without REI. ... |

Patagonia Micro Puff Pullover I upgraded to the Micro Puff pullover after several seasons with the old Puffball pullover. Lighter, warmer, stuffs smaller--the Micro Puff is an all-around improvement to what was already a fine garm... |
