  1. Always sad to see a well-loved camera go... The end of an era. twitter.com/GordStephen/st…
  2. How do you change aperture on this thing?!? Breathe easy X100, you're not going anywhere... twitter.com/GordStephen/st…
  3. Well, that's a little distracting 90 minutes before an exam... twitter.com/GordStephen/st…
  4. Reading industry news on a tech blog is like reading tech news on mainstream sites. It hurts.
  5. "the Cinema Camera is far more user-friendly for a novice than most cinema cameras we've seen" ... theverge.com/2012/4/16/2953…
  6. Forget about NAB, here's the real game changer! :) youtube.com/watch?v=0Nm7-E… #IKEA #UPPLEVA
  7. @LeoKoppel Imaging electronics are going crazy! From now on all my money goes into manual lenses...
  8. Also, for the Blackmagic-curious, this is the page you want: blackmagic-design.com/products/black… Might take a while to load! #NAB2012
  9. I've decided NAB is an elaborate conspiracy to torpedo my exam studying. Yeah...
  10. All good things must come to an end. :( ebay.com/itm/Panasonic-… Complete coincidence that it's going during NAB, I swear ;)
  11. Meant to study all day today. That didn't quite work out...
  12. I'd personally never buy an EF lens due to the lack of manual aperture control. Fuji X-mounts don't even have mechanical focus, do they?
  13. .@KenRockwell seems pretty excited about the XPro1 lenses. Will the future have to involve proprietary electronic lens mounts though? :/
  14. @PolvoPolvo You would hope! Convergence is a good idea in the low end, but past a certain point you want a specialised tool. I would think.
  15. Think of all the extra stuff you could fit in the space a mirror takes up, or the size you could save. Can't we embrace LiveView and EVIL?
  16. Why are we making digital-cinema-targeted single-lens-reflex cameras? SLR mirrors (and rangefinders) are film-era artefacts, no?
  17. I want to like the new G+ look... but somehow I can't. Kind of like G+ in general. It's just too busy I guess.
