Yours Truly, a Geek, a Gear Head. Evidence.
Was at the NPPA conference, Northern Short Course, yesterday in Cleveland. As in O-Hi-Oh!
Touched a Nikon D2 yesterday (eta: 2 weeks on the international photo scene), slithered around its newer, larger back-end controls and its other bodily functions, like a hungry non-poisonous garden snake.
Power: wireless transmission from camera to laptop.
Power: improved snazzadelic magnifying of captured image.
The nice Nikon repair man onsite, Michael, fixed my f5's.
Not just the loose/missing screws but the flappy grips' rubber.
Hovered back twice in an hour due to separation anxiety.
Spent much time at the Olympus table querying about the in's & out's of my 5050. Things like super secret metering items, and much much more.
Three photog speakers waxing big on the craft, the Zen of ops, rush of priviledged view, more.
Wondered how the Parsons others would find the other realm of image, of non-art doc work.
