DPReviews My Camera
 "...the new 'Smart Touch' user interface; one of the only serious attempts at improving the ease and speed of access to advanced controls we've seen in over a decade of digital camera development..."  "In playback mode...You scroll through images using a 'slider bar' (sliding your finger along the buttons under the screen). This is the only time I found the Smart Touch system annoying; it's way too easy to 'overshoot' and it's actually quite hard to scroll one image at a time; it really needs a 'next and previous' button." (I totally agree) "The biggest - and to be honest the NV10's most serious flaws - are the excessively high saturation and contrast levels (which can't be changed)." "let's be honest; high ISO on a 10MP this small doesn't really work, does it?"  "'ASR' mode...works - sort of - but it can't work magic, and there is a serious impact not only on image quality (a huge leap in noise and loss of detail) but on performance too...adds 4 or 5 seconds to the 'shot-to-shot' time...this certainly isn't a replacement for optical stabilization (or even a feature that deserves its own spot on the mode dial). I'm going to really put it through its paces in New York this weekend... Labels: handy

Can't wait to explore NYC with you & your new camera this weekend!...but "put it through its paces"? Is that another one of your "mature" sayings? ;)
By
I'm full of mature sayings, but immaturity must be like Jell-O cuz there's always room...

Obviously, camera class didn't help you put it through its paces. Filters on Day 3...what a joke. You'll have to show me your pics for Day 2.

Same at MSP the past couple Sundays. Last week they were paging a man to meet his party in the last stall of the mens' bathroom. This week it was the Meow Mix song...

Ever wonder why restaurants sing random (usually clap-happy) versions of Happy Birthday? Hint: not because they think they are creative.

I could tell you about the 3 week old (new to me) TSA liquid & gel carryon policy, but why not just watch this fun video? Labels: video

The Minnesota Wild are going to have a perfect season. I predicted it 8 days ago after they beat the Canucks in OT, and they've won twice since then.

0 comments Ask Goes Mobile
Ask is giving Google a run for its money - at least on my phone. The new Ask Mobile is sweet! Can't get the address "send to phone" feature to work right, but that's my only complaint thus far.

Hmm, 38 degrees and snow/rain this morning... I wonder how cold it needs to get before I remember to wear a coat?

0 comments Think You're A Photographer?
My new digital camera arrived yesterday, just in time for photography class and my triumphant return to New York. Ironically, I got my last digital just before a trip to the Big Apple* in 2003. Hopefully I will have some glorious pictures to share soon, but wanted to share the link to an online photo contest that could earn you a new camera of your own...

Your camera looks sweet. I'm curious to see if that anti-shake mechanism really works.

Vogtman sent me a link to Pat Neshek's personal blog, but it did not publish a feed so I created one.

The bad news? I just electrocuted myself in the cigarette lighter AC adapter. The good news? It seems to have cured my driving fatigue due to lack of sleep last night!

Yesterday's loss was definitely a let down, but I'm fully confident that we can all ride Boof's shoulders to victory this afternoon.

If you enjoy dark roast coffee, I highly recommend Caribou's Obsidian blend. Free samples at the St. Cloud store, right Steph?
