<title>Kodak discontinues camera business</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26874915</link>
<description><![CDATA[http://news.cnet.com/8301-13506_3-57373826-17/end-of-an-era-kodak-discontinues-camera-business/

Eastman Kodak stunned the world today, announcing that it has put an end to its camera business.

By the end of June, Kodak expects to phase out its digital cameras, pocket video cameras, and digital picture frames, the company announced today. The company plans to focus heavily on its current brand licensing and on attracting companies that might need some of its patents. Kodak will still offer its online Kodak Gallery service and retail-based photo printing. Its inkjet printers will also remain on store shelves.

<title>Sigma Repair Question</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26871025</link>
<description><![CDATA[My Sigma 17-50 f/2.8 EX OS DC HSM broke at the end of December. It took me about a month to get around to sending it in.

The lens won't zoom. It's as if something is in the way. I couldn't see anything broken inside of the lens but don't have a trained eye. I was careful with the lens, always, and kept it in a padded case when not attached to my 7D.

I sent in the repair via UPS ground and it took a week to get to NY. They emailed me 2 days later and gave me an estimate of $130 for repair. The email attachment stated: "NEED TO REPLACE OS UNIT" (copy and paste from the pdf).

I can't possibly fathom why I am expected to fork over 20% of the cost of the lens to replace something that broke inside of the warranty period, including paying return shipping and handling!

Wayne had provided a contact at Sigma and I've emailed her asking her, politely, WTF the deal is.

Has anyone here dealt with Sigma repair on an in-warranty item?

<title>HDR for Photojournalism?</title>

<description><![CDATA[ said by dpreview :Are High Dynamic Range photos appropriate for illustrating news?

That's the debate that's been started by the Washington Post's use of an HDR image on its front page in January.

What's your opinion?]]></description>

<title>[Cam] Sigma SD1 now $2,299</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26868000</link>
<description><![CDATA[http://www.dpreview.com/news/2012/02/08/Sigma_SD1_Merrill_price_drop

The SD1 DSLR will now be know as the SD1 Merrill, in honor of the Dick Merrill, inventor of the Foveon sensor technology on which it is based. The price will also be revised, falling to what should be a street price of around $2,299, which Yamaki attributes to work conducted to reduce production costs of the sensor. ]]></description>

<title>My D40 fell on the floor, $200 to repair incl lens cleaning</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26818805</link>
<description><![CDATA[Over the Christmas holidays while my kids were opening gifts, I laid down my D40 on a couch hand rests and it fell on our hardwood floors.

Pop up flash won't come up anymore, though I could still take pictures, I thought I could hear a subtle ticking sound when I try to focus and shoot.

Fast forward today, I got an estimate from Nikon that it will cost me $175 to fix my camera and another $25 to clean my 18-55 lens [nothing broke, I suppose on the lens].

I am a little torn if I should go ahead with the repair or not. I was thinking of to just have it returned and get new one or refurb or a 2nd hand unit. OR have it repaired, then sell it. OR just get it fixed and use it until it dies. The thing with the last option is that, I know if any of my toys gets broken and fixed, it never feels the same to me anymore.

I love my D40, it just fits in my hand. If ever, I get another one to replace it I heard the D3100 would fit the bill. On the other hand, A used D90 came up twice now and one is local to me. One is $680 for the camera and an 18-105 vr lens. A local deal for $750, it includes the camera, 50mm, 18-105 vr, SB600 flash, Battery Grip, 3 Batteries, 8g Memory Card, 2 free light stands with umbrella. 

Pls. feel free to give me your 2cents worth...]]></description>

<title>New Canon Lenses: 24-70 II and stabilized 24 and 28mm primes</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26863877</link>
<description><![CDATA[http://www.dpreview.com/news/2012/02/07/Canon_24-70mm_F2p8_II_24mm_f2p8_IS_28mm_f2p8_IS

http://www.canonrumors.com/2012/02/canon-ef-24-70-f2-8l-version-1-vs-version-2/

http://www.canonrumors.com/2012/02/pricing-of-the-new-lenses/

http://www.canonrumors.com/2012/02/canon-ef-24-f2-8-is-usm-canon-ef-28-f2-8-is-usm-announced/

The price seems rather high on these, particularly the 24-70 which is expected to street at around $2300 USD, which is around a $1000 increase from the previous model. However, keep in mind that the exchange rate between USD and JPY is radically different; the yen is strong and the dollar is weak right now.

I personally am still using the older model canon 28-70mm L lens!]]></description>

<title>Pentax Mirrorless Camera Announced</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26843431</link>
<description><![CDATA[http://www.theverge.com/2012/2/2/2765977/pentax-k-01-mirrorless-camera-official-march-launch

 said by theverge :The K-01's main features include a 16-megapixel APS-C sized CMOS sensor (which sounds similar to the one in Sony's NEX-5N), compatibility with the existing series of Pentax K-mount lenses, 1080p video capture, and an ISO range from 100 to 25600. From a pricing perspective, the $749.95 (body only) K-01 will be significantly cheaper than Sony's NEX-7, while coming in just over the $699.99 Lumix GX-1.]]></description>

<title>WiFi/Email Enabled Digital Frames?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26828515</link>
<description><![CDATA[Looking for suggestions for a WiFi enabled digital frame...  Something pretty much exactly like the Kodak Pulse, only not a Kodak Pulse... ;)

Backstory - I've had a Pulse frame for about 2 years - I loved the ability to email straight to the frame; friends and family could also send pics straight to us...   When it worked, it was incredible.

HOWEVER - the Kodak Pulse service is a dog - there's no ability to backup of the pics on Kodak's server, and reseting the frame discards all the pics on the frame and the server, and closes your account; so if you have to reset the frame (SOP for any kind of hiccup with it) - you loose everything that was on it...

Something in the 7-10" range, WiFi and/or email connected would be ideal...  Most Google links lead me to the Kodak frames, which I want to avoid; or some other names I'm not familar with (Pandigital seems to be common?) - for $150 - I'm not prepared to take a flyer on an unknown company...  

Anyone have experience with a networked frame to share?]]></description>
