You don't seem to like it when someone else points out your childish and pedantic rantings are just that. Douglas -- If you don't defend your rights... You end up without any! |

Off topic crap.

Once again, Mr talentless, it's the area *around* the lamp that is blown to hell, and a *simple* HDR technique would have tidied that area up - if you did stitching, why on earth didn't you take different exposures for the *real* problem? Do you *really* need an example??? If anyone else needs one, say so, and I'll do it. I might even see if I can do the same shot, if that room is still available for viewing on the Diamantina.. I get the idea your frequent trips back to SA are probably for access visits. Check that one with your legal team for defamation, did you Doug? As an expert on bullying, what would *you* call a comment like that? I'd call it .. pretty foolish. And you don't seem to live at the address on file with Optus. Well, now, assuming Optus was my ISP, you would have to have a court order to get that info from them. If that was the case, how could the address possibly be wrong - do you understand how broadband connections work, Douglas? In other words, you just proved you are a liar. Again. Your fantasy world is just plain sad and ridiculous, Doug. I've got a package of stuff for you. You already have a valid address for me, Doug. Why have you *never* sent anything to it? The photos on your web site really are rubbish mate I know I'm on the right track then. You see, Doug, the difference between you and me, and the reason no- one else joins in with your tirades (still haven't noticed that?), is that I don't flog my site here, nor do I post stupid claims and even stupider examples, nor do I pontificate about how I know everything. Hey, I even enjoy being proved wrong! - it means I learn stuff. See if *you* can do that one day, Doug. (As in, try to prove me wrong, and also you could try to actually learn something.) Right now you are just a laughing stock showing jealousy and poor photography. When someone *I respect* says the same thing.. I will listen. When you say it, I know I'm going great! You only have to look around to see the 'respect' *you* now have. Enjoy! |

All other negative comments beside. Olympus makes damm good PS's. I've been impressed for many years with them. Agreed. But I think they may have faltered after the C5050 and C8080, which remains one of my favorite cameras ever. The new 550 (?) has fallen into the same trap that every manufacturer seems to have - they just want to add pixels and let the noise increase... And they pushed the lens a little too far. There's something wonderful about a good Olympus lens, and they have made quite a few that fall into that category. |

Why are you so insecure? The DSLR fools can dish it out, but they can't take it, eh? Why must this group be so competitive? It used to be the "film forever" folks vs the "digital is the only way to go" folks. Now it is DSLR vs P & S! Sort of leaves rangefinder folks out in the cold, though. It comes from childish mine-is-better bragging by DSLR advocates who feel the need to feed their egos by putting down non-DSLRs and those who use them at every opportunity, like wearing a (fake) Rolex to be more cool. But the truth is this thread - and others like it - are typically started by P&S users, actually one particular P&S user who seems obsessed with criticizing DSLR users and baiting them into a pointless debate.

But as usual, you are right, Doug (and John N). Everyone else is just imagining it. Some folks like to keep their head in their sand. They just don't want to get it. Carry on ignoring reality, Doug. |

In the current range, all the FE and mju series are made by Sanyo, not Olympus. Not 100% sure on the SP550/560, but have my suspicions on them as well. Funny how the Olympus, Pentax, Nikon and Kodak cameras share the same battery, have many other similarities (such as button position), and all release cameras with basically the same specifications at the same time. You've noticed? (O; Yes, point taken about the FE's and mju's. I was referring to their top-of-range P&S cameras. I owned (two!) C8080's, and they *definitely* were Olympus products (albeit with Sony sensor).. The lens on the 8080 (28-140 equiv) was superb. |

It sort of reminds me of when you got your nackers in a twist over this pictu http://www.pbase.com/image/88926155 because I'd folded 15% of the left side out to make it more interesting. Yeah, that's a great shot. Look at it again and see for yourself. Not only have these two "photoshoped images" sold out from the first edition but the gorge is currently being printed as I write ...on wallpaper! Did they bring a high bid from your London auction at Suckaby's? How much did this beauty go for? http://www.pbase.com/helens/image/89020739 |
