Carefully shake the corners.

But be careful with the swings and shifts...

I could not give up the Etch-a-Sketch--I just love the DoF...

 

[Guy Mancuso]

Maybe I can sell it with a name like NoctiEtchy . Easy 10k or trade it for a S2. Oh wait I need 5 of them.

No no no I can than get 2 D800 and one E version. So what do you think is the better camera now.

I do have a thing for two round buttons and they twist.:thumbs:

 

[SergeiR]

How about resale value? You know.. If you want to upgrade yer Etch for Etch2?

But default sharpening is a bit high...

But that makes it sharper in the corners than the D800...

Aye, 'tis true. A distinctive strength of this very special imaging device.

Has anyone applied the new etchIt 1.01 firmware to address the lock up? My dealer suggested giving it a whack on the corner ...

Lets all try and be unbiased! The Etch-a-Sketch doesn't use Saphire glass, so in time most of their screens scratch badly. On the plus side, I bet no one has seen evidence of Moire' on any Etch-a-Sketch image. Live view is sort of full time with Etch-a-Sketch and it never needs external sources of energy to power it. Combine this with a price thousands less than D800's and Medium format and it's a no brainer which wins! Only thing missing is a USB port to download images.

Since it's a slate, shouldn't we be comparing it to the ipad instead? LOL!

Na Nikon and Phase are more fun to pick on but Hassy seems to have escaped the wrath of all this and they have nothing new . Go figure. Okay okay a regurgitated H body . Yippie do da

I've had a loaner and as nice as it draws I decided it wasn't for me. I couldn't figure out how to save a single image

That's what the D800 is used for - you capture with the etch a sketch because of its ultimate metallic mono look and shoot the etch a sketch image with your D800 for a high quality digital copy for photoshop etc.

Etch-a-Sketch lens compatibility is poor at best. I can't tell my wife I want a new lens at any given moment. <walks away in disgust>

Novice mistake. The EaS renders a natively sharper image. I find with an EaS I barely need to apply any sharpening at all.

You need the Giottos model SP-EaS Schott glass screen protector. As these are priced roughly proportionately to glass area, this will cost you only $289.95.

 

[Shashin]

Nikon lenses don't draw as nicely as the Etch-a-Sketch.

 

[Guy Mancuso]

You mean it's nicer than my 200 F2. Damn I want two of them.

 

[Guy Mancuso]

Nice looking. Love those knobs
