Salt Peanuts

That was the rumor prior to couple of big industry events this year, but nothing came of it. While it's an old lens, most of the non-L primes from Canon are old (the newest/youngest non-L or non-macro prime was released in 1995).

Never mind. Knuckles got to it and his examples would be far more useful mine.

What's wrong with just getting a 35mm f/2? Yes, it's an old design without USM, but I think it's a perfectly capable lens. You can pick one up new for around $330, and on used market, I've seen ones as low as $230 which is practically nothing (relatively speaking).

Tell me about it.

Argh. It appears S90 is not in the Canon Loyalty Program, which means I'd have to pay for a full refurb price (comes out to ~$320 when you add in Franiec's grip & Lensmate control dial solution). At that price point, it's getting too close to the price of a new S95 alone (better control dial, matte finish to help with the grip) and over what wife wanted to spend on a P&S we won't be using all that much.

Just get one. Don't you still have a DAC or two to help you fund it?

Dang, that is pretty good. I guess P&S has come a long way in the last few years.

Was that shot with RAW then converted or straight JPEG from camera?

I think I'm going to grab a refurbed S90 for my wife (and for me to use when carrying around 50D is too inconvenient). Can't really beat $224 for it.

Download the LR3.3 Release Candidate. They added S95 on it.

I've gotta do that with wife's Matrix so she can use her iPod in the car again (she was using a tape adapter but the tape player is now dead). Hopefully, it won't be too hard - stupid factory installed radio/CD player.

Had a meeting free day at work, which should translate to a productive day, though that hasn't been the case so far for variety of reasons. Also found out that as a part of cost cutting, they most likely won't be replacing the malfunctioning printer in our office (along with most of the in-office printers) - this after they've been telling us we'll get a new one Real Soon Now™. I'm wondering how much money they'll be saving when the three big printers/copiers break-down with increased frequency from seeing 90% of the printing/copying.

Al, how is it?

How is the control dial on the S95? The one on S90s I've played with turned/moved waaaay too easily while in use.

I'm still waiting for LT to break down and Greene to take over. Of course, my season is basically shot, so it probably won't matter if/when that happens.

Of course now you say that, watch Manningham have a game of his life and Roy E. Williams remember that he actually sucks.

Anyone else having problem with scoreboard (and scoring update) on ESPN? Mine's doing weird things, like one player having receiving yards but no receptions while other players' stats are not updating at all.

x2. It's been a long time since I've had a good falafel.
