Long exposures are noisy

Also, it seems to take the camera as long to process a 30-second
exposure as it does to take the picture itself (i.e. before the camera
is ready for further action). Why should this be the...

Battery depletion oddness

They are NiMH cells, and this isn't the first time I've had unexpected
behaviour from them. The camera is a Pentax K100D.

Is this unusual, or is it just how these cells behave under such

Nonsense. The analysis posted of case dealt only with the the scope
of the specific laws on transport of stolen property, and made no
larger claims about what might constitute "stealing" in...

And what, pray tell, does robbing a bank have to do with copyright
infringement? Way to go with the strawman.

Both are illegal and immoral acts that profit the criminal (by giving

Question about shooting in RAW mode..

I was just trying to point out
that Robert may have had technical issues with the use of the word RAW
to describe something that has had processing applied after capture

I agree that seems to...

[LONG] Intellectual property/artificial shortage rights (was: Nikon raw (*.nef) support?)

True, but 'electrical power theft' is not much different to
not paying the fare on the bus, forgetting to pay your hotel

Wrong!

Are You an In-Camera or Post-Camera Photographer?

My thought is that if you find you NEED raw ALL of the time, you need
to figure out how to use your camera.
