    [HELP] AF is offset, Tokina SD 11-16 AT-X PRO on Nikon D90

    Auto focus is correct if I focus through LiveView mode, I guess this is contrast-maximising AF mode. But if I use the normal phase-detect, then focus is consistently poor. If used in MF mode, the D90's green dot indicator also guides me to wrong focus. This is true at any zoom setting...

    Samsung Smart Camera EX2F - hands on field test

    Not exactly controlled and identical conditions I admit. Did not use a tripod. All are 100% crops from central region. I would like to make the full original files available, but don't know where to put... (imgur recompresses and drops EXIF). The relative jagginess of the EX2F almost looks...

    Samsung Smart Camera EX2F - hands on field test

    Hi all, Just got this camera... Anyway, I installed "iLauncher" via the CD. And this is what the firmware upgrade attempt looks like... It always fails when the progress bar hits 80%. Anyone else have this problem? Current Version: V 207274 Upgrade Version: V 209082

    Sunset at Palawan Beach, Sentosa - 1080p, Galaxy S2 with "Timelapse!" app

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXblv8uHV2s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXblv8uHV2s The MJPEG AVI files made by the "TimeLapse!" android app doesn't play well in most video players, but luckily could do resizing and re-encoding in AviDemux.

    Can anyone identify this model please? [photo]

    Very sorry for the poor quality photo. I only had an iphone and was trying to identify it while moving past it on the chair lift. From what I could see, it looked like a superzoom style (non-changeable lens) Fujifilm camera... But not 100% sure, might not even be a Fuji. Reason I...

    Recommend a compact camera with WiFi (or tell me about Eye-Fi)

    Hi, I am aware that Nikon and Kodak have both sold some compact digicams with WiFi in the past few years, and I know that they do have some important limitations on what they can do thru WiFi... (e.g. only able to send to certain photo-hosting sites) Here is what I need: This is an office...

    Mju 1030SW or 795SW or 790SW

    Sure, but the point is that 10 second limit for 640x480 @ 30fps makes the Olympuses worse than average in this respect, compared to other current compact digital cameras. Panasonic DMC TS1 has comparable ruggedness, and is able to record 30fps 720p video, seems like limited to 2GB or something...

    WTSell: SLR - Nikon F3

    The camera is now with Philip Tay (DE Camera Consultants). He checked it thoroughly and thinks that the problem is probably in the main cluster of electronics. It will be completely solved by replacing the entire cluster, which costs about $280. So... anyone interested?

    WTSell: SLR - Nikon F3

    When I met a forummer to deal today, we noticed that the shutter would always fire at fast speeds (about 1/60 from the sound of it) even if it is manually set to slow speeds, or on B. LCD does display the selected speed correctly though. Symptoms remained the same after putting in 2 new SR44...
