I will make the suggestion that the publishers include antidotal in the next OED.
What a wonderful word.

Really? If Marc was bothered by it, I apologize -- I was trying to inject a bit of humor (though I applaud Jono -- he definitely did it better).

You are a gentleman for noticing Greg - it was indeed my intention to make this fun (which it finally is!)
Jono and I know each other in real life and when we get together we're both funny. On GetDPI it's just him. I must type with a smile on my face and not on my fingers...

I don´t want to annect - dotally or totally or antidotally this philosophical excurs in semantics - but Shashin- if you would use this phone as a viewfinder for any back you will probably not need "viewfinder" app as the 808 has a 4x seamless electronic zoom if you use it in 16x9 HDTV video mode, 3x if you use it in 4x3 full res, the focal lenght starts as a 26mm in DSLR fullformat image angle. So maybe for viewing wideangles there should be a 0,5 x converter.
At lower resolutions, the capabilities of the zoom increase, with 6X at 720p and up to 12X lossless zoom in nHD (640 x 360) recordings.

Better, I suspect, than the awful fate of being pre-dotal.
. . . . although, perhaps that was what I was before Emma handed me a glass of wine . . . so maybe I can now aspire to being post_dotal.

Well, perhaps your subtle english humour isn't quite as easy to interpret as my crass stuff!
It's time for another pint - are you up this way anytime soon?
. . . . . I once bought a car from Tim, and we're still friends, so it must be good :toocool:

But was it a 41 megapixel car, or only a puny 36 megapixel one? :grin:

Hmmm - it was a 2 year old Boxster S, so I'll allow you to asses the pixels!
(I still mourn it's passing).
One thing for sure, it wasn't puny! (and I loved it).

What an ignoramus I am for trusting to spell-check ... and frankly
I didn't even notice. What we need are anecdotal notions for antidotal potions to counteract the effects of reading this thread ...

Potions are always needed to counteract the effects of life. If you're sensible it might be an elderflower potion, if you're a little more adventurous it might be a nice Sauvignon blanc . . I've heard that the Macallan can be very effective (although I've never dared go that far myself).:ROTFL:

Incidentally, not sure what your input was to Irakly's S2 article, but I really enjoyed it!

I've had Macallan, but think it's going a bit too far. I tend to prefer the result from a blend of Sauvignon Blanc with Cabernet Franc (not blending the results, but breeding the vines together -- i.e., Cabernet Sauvignon).
Actually, I wasn't present for that actual test, (or I would have showed him how to capture RAW and Jpeg at the same time
)However, he and I have played with my S2P enough for him to become interested in it as it relates to other choices.
Next thing we want to try is res'ing up S2 files to compare against my H4D/60 files ... but we have to wait until it returns from its winter vacation in Denmark.

BTW, I really do need a potion ... I've been sick as dog for 3 days and am getting semi-delirious ... so take anything I say as being a bit delusional

Being on the MF forum, I would be more afraid of not being sacerdotal, so as not to get into trouble with the High Priests :angel:

If there was ever an antidotal camera club, this forum must be it. Antidotal to the poison of mammon. My coffers are empty but I do have a camera :ROTFL:

I'm staying out of the spelling conversations, you guys are nothing compared to me. In all seriousness I have a mental block on certain words even cheating I can't get them right and when I do than you'll know it ain't me.
I cannot wait for that, meanwhile get well soon
The constant debate is funny. I stand at two choices;
1. Keep on using my Leaf AFi-12
2. Get a Nokia 808 and duct tape it to my Hy6.
Looking at sample images from the D800/E, which of above am I inclined to do?
The image of the lips in the article and its commentary is convincing, or not??? --- "Two-tone Lips. A close up of lipstick shows the color saturation and sharpness of the D800". That leaves duct taping the D800 to my Hy6 to not be an option...
(the reason why should be obvious)In other words, with each new camera there is so much marketing (including in articles) and resulted imagined raving of how great the product is, thus in my humble view that article seems like a lot of BS.
Duct taping the Nokia would make more sense, because it is smaller. Think pixel equal pixel equal same??? :loco:
Best regards,
Anders
