The SD940 and SD780 are different price points, i.e. the 940 is the higher end version of the 780. So there’s a successor to the 780, and will probably be followed by a successor to the 940.
(Dunno about the pictures thing tho; the 940 has a much nicer wide end but in terms of IQ from what I read fell slightly short of the 780, no doubt from stressing the lens in getting that focal range in such a small package.)
Actually I don’t mind his website, it’s good for a laugh! Some of the stuff that he writes is genuinely useful, if you can bear to wade through all of the opinionated waffle that goes with it. I’m sure that half of what he writes he doesn’t even believe himself, he just says it in order to be controversial, which boosts his hit count.
I’ve got no problem with the guy making money from advertising (just like the CR guy does), workshops or doing interviews; many ‘professionals’ do this to make ends meet.
The only bit that I have a problem with is the begging for money bit at the end. Seriously, here is a guy that can basically afford all the kit that he wants and yet tries to guilt trip people who are poorer than him into parting with their cash!
lol :-) Rarely get what i wish for but i like the saying, if you don’t ask you don’t get.
I love my nifty fifty, but a thrifty 30 (or 24) would be way cool. Not sure about the unicorn monopod.
2*1dv4 ISO now that would revolutionise photography & cctv.
Cheers Adrain.
Glad to see you took it as a joke :)
Funny thing is, in 5-10 years, I bet there will be a camera with usable 204800 ISO, and maybe not in the Dx /1Dx class from Nikon / Canon, but rather in the ‘semi-professional’ class.
Well, I hope it will, and you are right – if you don’t ask, you don’t get, so here’s to asking :)
Ok, makes sense. I mean Ken Rockwell is trying to sell me Nikon DSLRs, and because he’s a Nikon fan he pushes the D40 – cheapest one – and advocates for boycotting the D3x, Canon compacts, but still the S90 not the G10/11, Leica cameras and lenses, again emphasis on old and cheap(er) ones, and large format stuff. It’s almost like he does not care what I buy. Hmmm…
Re putting their own personal opinions on their websites – do you expect them to put MY personal opinions on their website?
