This offends me on so many levels but it’s still a cool vid to watch.

Damn it’s been awhile … since August??? … since I’ve posted.  Now that I’m coming out of the haze of the first few months of raising a baby I’m going to make an effort to get more content into this site.

For now I’ve added a Live Vid screen in the 4.30 page.  I’ll try to use this for any Vincent related activities that might be worth sending out live instead of recording / editing up.

Till next time…

Ahhh… back to the tech-mongering.  Microsoft officially announced (the long rumored) Zune HD.  Ars Technica (and every other tech blog) has a pretty good write up on it if you’re curious about specs but this thing looks HOT.

I haven’t posted in awhile and for good reason.  Vincent was born on 4-30.  For now I have some videos posted on the 4.30.2009 page but I’m thinking of moving the V-man content to Flickr to keep this site focused on the photography.  We’ll have to see what how the lack of sleep and general pain-in-the-ass factors line up.

Canon lost the #1 manufacturer spot to Nikon in 2007 because of Nikon’s dSLR’s.  I tried to find some stats on the current market breakdown but apparently… those aren’t the easiest to come by.  I would says it’s a safe bet to say Nikon is still 1, Canon is close 2, with Sony a very distant 3 and everyone else coming in after that.

Regardless of the specific numbers it’s safe to say that Nikon and Canon will probably continue to trade that #1 spot for awhile and with Nikon surging due to dSLR’s you had to expect an answer from Canon at some point.

Canon just announced the Digital Rebel T1i (which I think is a new line of dSLR’s to replace it’s Xsi series).  You can click the link for the full article but a summary of the specs: 15mp sensor, max ISO 3200 (with 6400 and 12800 “settings” which I’m skeptical of), 1080p video at 20 fps, 720p video at 30 fps and your typical 18-55 kit lens (doesn’t specify image stabilization which seems 0dd).  It’s estimated price is $800 – $900.

Sony is a pretty solid #3 in the camera market (in my opinion) but this latest camera is definitely drool worthy.

I posted on twitter this afternoon that the buzzards are rumored to be flying over Blockbuster and I feel like I haven’t quite satiated my Blockbuster Hating so here’s another Go.

<insert mullet reference here>

Spotted this article on Engadget about GE introducing 9 point and shoot cameras in the UK.  Seems interesting… and really the cameras seem to be packed full of features (water-proof, ability to take panoramics by panning the camera during 1 exposure, touch screen LCD) but it seems weird that GE would get into point and shoots.  Last I’ve heard, everyone is in the P&S market right now and dSLR’s is where the money is at.  Oh well… apparently this makes sense to someone.

Ok… I’ve mentioned it before and had to show a podcast so you’d all know what I’m talking about.  Click into the post to see the show.
