metz 45 cl-4 flash non-digital version?

Sunday Jul 25, 2010

can anyone tell me what leads/adaptors i need for this version of flash to use on my olympus e520

Just a warning you run the risk of frying your camera if you mount it on the shoe if its voltage is rated too high.


Battle of Olympus Tool-assisted speedrun in 10:41

Saturday Jul 17, 2010

This video was made using an emulator at really slow speeds and using savestates (to undo mistakes countless times). It’s meant as a demonstration of what is the fastest possible time, and has nothing to do with gaming skills.

Battle of Olympus (オリュンポスの戦い) improved by 9 minutes and 11 seconds, which means that the length of Arc’s previous movie was almost halved.

This improvement consists of the utilization of a major glitch, pressing Left+Right at the same time for almost unlimited velocity growth. The trick is documented at Battle of Olympus Tricks.

The route used in this movie is decided by a few things the hero (Orpheus) must do:

Collect three heart pieces in order to activate the Tartarus entry.
Get a key to access the third heart location.
Get an eyeball of Graeae to see invisible doors (to access the second heart location).
Get a sword from the Spirit of Forest. It is needed to kill the three-headed guardian with respawning heads in Tartarus.
Collect 60 olives in order to buy an ocarina, which will be needed to cross the sea to get to Crete and Tartarus.
Get a harp in order to call Pegasus. It makes the route faster.
People often compare this game with Zelda 2 because of its similar gameplay.

Which DSLR should i get?

Thursday Jul 15, 2010

I’m interested in a budget DSLR. I’m looking at four different models:
-Sony A330
-Canon Rebel XS
-Nikon D40
-Olympus E520

Does anybody have any of these cameras? If so, could you tell me about it? Would you recommend it? Any major problems?

Thanks

The Nikon D40 will certainly give you the most bang for the buck.

Nikon and Canon are the best values due to the large numbers of current lenses that they make and the even larger number of legacy lenses. Nikon since 1959 and Canon since 1988.

Olympus has no legacy lenses for its new 4/3rds sensored cameras

Sony is a new player

The Nikon D40 can flash sync at speeds higher than any other current DSLR, including the professional ones.

- X Games 15 -

"For the Vert Ramp, I thought I’d try a lighting trick. Using a CCD camera, in this case a Nikon D40, I was able to wirelessly sync my SB-800 flash with some Pocket Wizards at up to 1/1,000th of a second. "

"By doing this, I was able to match the heavy sunlight with a small flash, and could get that flash aimed pretty much anywhere (by my excellent assistant, Geo Labrada) because of the wireless sync."

"All in all, X Games was great, but the Vert ramp was the most fun for me because of this project." M. Simbron, Sports photographer

Best DSLR for HDR under £400 ?

Monday Jul 5, 2010

Am looking ofr a dslr and am interested in HDR photography. Was going to buy an olympus E520 but have realised it only does 1 stop AEB. Any ideas for any other sub £400 DSLR that can do more than 1 stop AEB ?

Thanks

You’ll prolly have to get one off e-bay , i don’t know if you can get one brand new at that cost with auto exposure bracketing. I used to have a nikon d60 and used to bracket manually, but it was getting on my nerves so i went for a canon 500d. I do hope you get one and have fun doing hdr. If you are on flikr please leave me a link to your homepage. Cheers and good luck

did not like. compared to my nikon D50 i did not like the pictures.
So i return it.
What camera you recommend me? thanks
i dont went to spend more then 550 dollars.
and want 10 mp and up with a large LCD

Go for the D90, it makes sense. It’s more of what you love from your D50 and is newer technology with features, I think, you’ll love.

Need help in deciding which SLR camera to buy?

Wednesday Jun 16, 2010

My budget is limited and my choice falls between Olympus E520 and Canon EOS1000D (Rebel XS). I will be mainly taking pictures of landscape and my pet birds. I’m highly amateur in SLR so easy use would be a great factor
I don’t ask which camera professionals use. As I have stated earlier I have a limited budget and my choice falls between those two so please be smart and give me a reasonable advice

Olympus is the best value in DSLRs today. Several reviews have mentioned that Olympus offers a better value by packing more features for the same or, in most cases, less than the competition. Olympus has been praised for being easy for beginners while offering the full control and quality that professionals demand. rather than an E-520, you may want to consider a E-510 or a E-420.

Olympus offers picture quality comparable to any other manufacturer out there. It is true that the sensor, the four thirds system, is smaller than other DSLRs. It is also true that this technology was created with cooperation between Olympus and Kodak with support from Sigma, Sanyo, Panasonic, Leica, and Fuji. It’s not just one company, its an industry standard. Olympus also designed its digital Zuicko lenses to be digital from the ground, rather than adapt film lenses for digital use. The end result is a sharp, clear, crisp image with great color quality and clarity. Since Olympus cameras come with many shooting modes and live view, it’s easier to become familiar with the camera and learn the manual controls one by one until you are ready for full manual control.

I have used many different camera brands over the past 30 years, including Nikon, Fuji, Argus, Olympus and even Sanyo among others. I choose Olympus because the cameras are lighter and offer more features than the competition in the same class. On the entry level side, the Olympus E-420, E-510 and E-520 offer many advanced features other entry level cameras, such as the Nikon D40, don’t have, for about the same money. My E-510 came with a nice 14-42mm lens that is the one of, if not the, lightest lens offered with a DSLR kit, and among the fastest to auto focus. And with the new prime 25mm lens, the E-420 has been compared in size to some compact cameras. The size and weight can become an issue when carrying a camera around all day. Look around Yahoo! Answers and you will find several people who upgraded to DSLR cameras now looking for a quality compact to use as their take along. All cite the size and weight of the DSLR as the main factor.

Since Olympus offers more for less money, you’ll find it easier t get all those extras that go along with a new camera. You can’t forget about the things you need such as memory cards, tripod, carry bag, extra battery, flash, etc. You don’t want to find yourself short, no matter what camera you decide to buy.

When buying a DSLR camera, most come bundled with a lens in a kit. Olympus offers auto focus on all the kit lenses, with the exception being the new prime 25mm lens. Some companies offer only manual focus lenses. It’s not a major issue. After all manual focus lenses tend to be lighter since they have no motor in them. However, many people moving to their first DSLR are looking for those little things that help them out and prefer auto focus lenses, at least to start. This is another reason Olympus is often considered a better buy, giving you more for your money.

Olympus also went with Image Stabilization (IS) in the camera body. This makes all lenses IS lenses, others such as Nikon and Canon offer IS only in additional and expensive lenses. Another feature you get along with the patented, and first, dust reduction system in DSLRs. In body IS has been proven to be as effective as the lens IS. The fact is that since Olympus uses a smaller sensor and in body IS works best with smaller sensors, it made sense to offer IS as a value added feature.

It’s also true that any DSLR you choose will be a quality product that serves you well for years. The main differences tend to be the features offered at a given price point and personal preference. Nikon and Canon have the largest share, with Olympus being the fastest growing brand.
