What is your intended use for such a camera?

If you pull that off, can I come sit at the feet of the master and learn?

In all candor I would have no use for such a camera. I was fascinated that the sensor goes to 200 megapixels.

Steve, can you tell me why it's taking soooooo long to upload my pics to the WBF Forum

OOps, now I know, forgot to set the resolution on this thing lower, no wander I've been trying since yesterday to upload two 200 megapixel images

OTOH, seems to upload to YouTube in a flash

It's easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission. I've been doing it for years!

Ask!?!? You dare ask?

I have to grovel for forgiveness and beg for permission

 

[Phelonious Ponk]

My groveling skills are exemplary.

You can tell a serious audiophile by the callouses on his knees from begging. (No other meanings intended, please).

A wise man taught me that many years ago. Another thing a wise man taught me was that authority is 10% real and 90% assumed.

I usually give the excuse "hey, I'm just a guy", though it's sometimes preceeded by me looking at another woman!

I'd like one of these.....

You can tell a serious chef by the knives he keeps.

Well, in that case...

Nice knife. And I think she should have her own Food Network show.

not sure if you saw it, but your post reminded me of the recent movie "Hall Pass" which was drop dead hilarious

Candor is OK here but be careful making such an admission to your wife.

Not to take away from the fun of the rest of the thread , but the sensor is not 200 megapixels. It is less than 50 (or just 2X of my Canon camera). It then use micro-adjustment of the sensor to take additional pictures in different dimensions and then combines them in software to get the 200 megapixels. For that technique to work, the subject and camera have to be absolutely static or you lose more than you gain.

So you get to pay 5X of a 21 megapixel camera for 2X the dynamic resolution and 10X the dynamic.

I will be happy with these speakers.... Even in Pesos are a lot of money.

Shouldn't this thread have been titled, "How can I convince my wife of anything?"
