- " If I could give better than "excellent" for staff, atmosphere and value for money I would! Our experience was so great with Marija and Ivan being so friendly, helpful, and making sure we had a great time. They picked us up, drove us to where we needed to go, and went out of their way like we were family. The hostel is set up to be very social, but you can have your private space as well, and it must be quiet after 11pm, which is great (then they'll take you to the bars). We'll be back! "

- " Marija was great. She was waiting for us as we got off the ferry and drove us to the hostel. She had fruit, cookies and juice waiting for us in our room and gave me a ride across the island to the ferry when I left. "

Case packer is 'sophisticated' yet rugged
The EBS-HS-2 utilizes sensors, cables, and I/O stations from Turck to deliver its integrated capabilities. "As you get into a more complex machine like this one, precise control of air pressure and vacuum become more critical than ever," says Zurlinden. "Turck has some slick little air pressure and vacuum sensors that fit nicely into our system."
The Turck I/O network includes one BL20 modular I/O bus terminal system and multiple AIM (Advanced I/O Module) stations. "The C400 controller isn't intended to have a lot of onboard I/O," says Zurlinden. "If you need more I/O, you buy fieldbus I/O, and that's where Turck came in. The BL20 is IP20 rated, perfect for inside our controls cabinet enclosure. The AIM stations are IP67 rated, which means they're capable of withstanding rugged washdown conditions. So they're mounted out on the machine. It permits shorter cable connections between a given I/O point back to an AIM station and then a fieldbus trunk line going around the machine and connecting to all those AIM stations." At the end of the day, the Turck components optimize the transfer of inputs into and outputs out of the C400 controller.
Zurlinden also notes that both the BL20 station and the AIM stations are available in network protocols most often required by Pro Pack customers—DeviceNet™ and Profibus™—so that the machines can be designed to suit the manufacturing environment in which they'll function. "The fact that Turck offers many products with many different network protocols makes it easy for us to use them on our equipment," adds Zurlinden.
Pro Pack produces approximately 20 pieces of equipment each year, each with subassemblies on the machines to give users control and diagnostics at the point where they're needed most. According to Zurlinden, a real advantage of integrating these stations on the machines is the reduction of in-house assembly and start-up time at the customer site.
"Networking our I/O reduces our assembly time with minimal conductor terminations," says Zurlinden. "We also provide service and start-up support to help our customers with installation, along with training employees about how to operate and troubleshoot our machines. A networked system offers fewer wires and simpler troubleshooting."
Thanks to Turck's flexibility in manufacturing, Pro Pack has also been able to meet custom needs. Turck was able to provide the company with an encoder with a custom cable connection for its Pro Print/EBS-HS-2 machine. A hollow-shaft encoder with a d-sub style connection was required for the integrated printing system within the machine, and Turck was able to respond to the request easily with minimal upcharge and minimal lead time.

No. 11 Stanford (9-2) at No. 15 UCLA (9-2)
3:30 p.m., Channel 11
UCLA won the Pac-12 Conference South Division last week against USC at the Rose Bowl. Stanford can clinch the North this week at the Rose Bowl. And the pot at the end of this rainbow is a trip to the … Rose Bowl. Stanford has already defeated USC, Oregon State and Oregon and was only a couple plays against Washington and Notre Dame from being undefeated and No. 1 in the BCS standings.

5 p.m., Channel 7
Everyone knew this year's road to the BCS might go through Los Angeles on Nov. 24 with a No. 1 team involved. Few figured the No. 1 team would be Notre Dame. Common sense suggests Notre Dame should win this game, especially with USC quarterback Matt Barkley out with because of a shoulder injury. USC still has marquee stars in receivers Marqise Lee and Robert Woods, though, and can play with a nothing-to-lose attitude.

New Developments in Canine Arthritis Care
Published: Sep. 16, 2010
Subject: Dog Walking Goes Uphill and Over Obstacles
Category: K9 Care
Just like people, dogs can suffer from arthritis too. In fact, arthritis affects 1 in 5 adult dogs in the U.S., and all dogs have a 65% likelihood of developing arthritis between the ages of seven and eleven years of age. Factors such as changes that occur with aging, joint injuries, repetitive activity, and genetics all influence whether or not a dog will get arthritis and the degree to which he or she will feel its discomfort.
Woof Report has written about how to prevent and identify sore joints in your pup, and has also explained the many treatment options available from natural remedies to prescription medications (see the links below to read these past tips). And now there's a new development, easy exercises that show specific therapeutic value in easing discomfort in dogs with arthritis.
In a recent study published in the July 2010 issue of the American Journal of Veterinary Research, researchers at the University of Veterinary Medicine, Vienna, discovered that walking uphill or over low obstacles may help relieve the stiffness and pain in dogs with arthritis.
Researchers used a specially designed treadmill and computer algorithms to examine dogs as they performed three types of exercises: walking uphill, walking downhill and walking over low obstacles. The movements of the dogs' joints in the front and back legs were examined and showed the three exercises had different effects on the joints, and specific benefits.
While walking downhill does not appear to have much therapeutic benefit, walking uphill and over low obstacles were beneficial in improving flexibility of the affected joints. According to the study, walking over low obstacles "significantly increased flexion of the elbow, carpal, stifle (knee), and tarsal joints and extension in the carpal and stifle (knee) joints, and walking uphill walking caused increased hip joint flexion and decreased stifle (knee) joint flexion."
What's particularly interesting about the study is that physical therapy is commonly prescribed for arthritis in both people and dogs, typically in conjunction with medication; however, there has been limited testing on its effectiveness for dogs – until now.
"These types of exercise are often recommended to improve the flexibility of joints in arthritic dogs," said Barbara Bockstahler at the University of Veterinary Medicine, Vienna. "Nobody has yet taken the trouble to test whether they work but we are happy to report that they are of real benefit to the animals."
The researchers added that the neither walking uphill nor walking over obstacles require expensive or special equipment and the exercises are simple to do, both for the dog and owner. In addition, they noted that dogs that have recently undergone surgery to the tibia should probably avoid walking over obstacles since that could potentially strain the tendon that joins the knee to the shin.

I have an older HR20-700 that may be dying, and I need some advice.
*** Note that I mistyped the model number on the thread title. I have an "original" HR20-700 ***
1. I have 3 D* DVRs, WWDVR. This is the only unit with an issue.
2. Watching recorded material from the other DVRs works fine.
3. When I watch live TV on this DVR, the picture pixelates and I occasionally lose audio. This pixelization is like the old "Green Slime" we all saw a few years ago, but there's no green per se - rather, it's big and blotchy.
4. Signal strength is fine.
5. I once reset the entire unit, and it worked fine for a while.
I'm planning to run a "Level 2" test today.
I'm thinking the drive is dying. If so, would you just add an ESATA drive? If not, what are you thinking?
Thanks so much!

In recognition of Mother's Day, Peace Corps Volunteers worldwide are engaging in projects to improve maternal health, educate new mothers and support women and children. Volunteers regularly serve in maternity clinics, teach nutrition to new and expecting mother's and provide information to keep families healthy.
Today, 22 percent of all Peace Corps Volunteers work in the health/HIV sector. Health Volunteers help communities meet basic public health needs through education and awareness, providing access to safe drinking water, distributing bed nets for malaria prevention, teaching sanitation measures and more. Even though Peace Corps volunteers are not medical care providers, they provide the skills and training to help keep communities healthy and safe. Many volunteers participate in health-related projects during the course of their service.
We thank our Volunteers for supporting mothers worldwide and wish all the mothers in the Peace Corps family a happy, healthy, and safe Mother's Day!

Maternal Health "Ah ha!" Moment - Peace Corps Service Leads to Career as a Midwife
In this video,Peace Corps Volunteer Caitlin Givens talks about her "Ah ha!" moment in the Sahel desert that led her to shift career paths and become a midwife. During nursing and midwifery school, she serves as a doula and helps women plan for labor and birth. She now draws from her Peace Corps experience to connect with and care for women from diverse backgrounds in the U.S.

In honor of Mother's Day, we are shining the spotlight on the maternal health work our Volunteers are doing around the world. Here's a success story from two Peace Corps Volunteers in Albania!Two years ago, Volunteer Barbara Stallings started a prenatal education program for expectant mothers and health professionals in her community. After her close of service, it was handed over to Volunteer Jessica Goodell, who continued to develop and grow the program. Barbara found that the concept of childbirth education was a very novel one in her Albanian community, with many cultural barriers, leading to nervous expectant mothers who were more likely to have complications. To address this issue, Barbara helped facilitate a program that successfully trained one Albanian "Childbirth Educator" with a background in nursing and physical therapy to teach classes. Eleven expectant mothers and one father participated in the classes. The participation of the one father during class is a separate success story itself! After taking over the project, Jessica worked with Albania's Ministry of Health, the Institute of Public Health and her local Directorate of Public Health to organize a "Childbirth Educator Training of Trainers" to increase the number of "Childbirth Educators" who can transfer skills and expand the scope of educated expectant mothers. She applied for accreditation through the Ministry of Health and was approved to conduct the training, with seven professional credit hours to incentivize health professionals to participate. A total of 20 health professionals (nurse-midwives, midwives, nurses, and social workers) were successfully trained. Now there are twenty-one "Childbirth Educators" prepared to teach a childbirth education class to expectant mothers in this community. Great job, ladies!

The U.S. Department of Agriculture?s (USDA) Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) also announced the final referendum rules under the Lamb Promotion, Research and Information Order, more commonly known as the American Lamb Board or Lamb Checkoff Program.
?We are pleased that the voting period has been scheduled,? said American Lamb Board Chairman Spence Rule. ?The effort that countless individuals and USDA have generated to get to this point is incredible.?
The referendum will be conducted at USDA?s county Farm Service Agency (FSA) offices. To be eligible to participate, you must provide documentation, such as a sales receipt, that shows that you were engaged in the production, feeding or slaughtering of lambs during the period of Jan. 1, 2004, through Dec. 31, 2004.
The Lamb Checkoff Program is authorized by the Commodity Promotion, Research and Information Act of 1996. This program provides for assessments on the sale of lamb and lamb products and for an industry board to carry out promotion, research and information programs designed to increase the demand for lamb and lamb products. For the program to continue, it must be approved by a majority of voters who also represent a majority of the volume voting in the referendum.
The Referendum Final Rules, the Notice of Opportunity to Participate or a sample copy of the ballot (LS-86) are available at: http://www.ams.usda.gov/lsg/mpb/rp-lamb.htm. For more information about the referendum, please contact Kenneth R. Payne, Chief, Marketing Programs Branch, Livestock and Seed Program, AMS, USDA at (202) 720-1115, or by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com. Or you may contact Linda Cronin; DAFO, USDA, FSA at (202) 690-8034, or by e-mail at email@example.com.

Somewhere, Kim Zolciak's wig-maker and Botox supplier are anxiously wringing their hands, worried that the gravy train might be coming to an end. Word is, the double-D-cupped, "Tardy to the Party"-caterwauling "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star and her always-blunt on-camera rival, NeNe Leakes, could be handed their walking papers by the powers that be at Bravo.
RELATED: Check out Reality Check, our roundup of reality TV newsbites
The New York Daily News claims that producers are "fed up" with the "diva-esque requests" from the frenemies, who are supposedly asking for a bigger chunk of change for the show's third season.
"Things with NeNe and Kim have been intense," maintains a source, "but Bravo feels the show is about the franchise as a whole and won't let one person stop it."
With that in mind, the network is apparently exploring other Southern-based housewife options.
RELATED: Follow Wonderwall on Twitter
"Bravo has been taking meetings with some notable and wealthy Atlanta women about possibly joining the show," says the snitch. "They're trying their best to keep the process under wraps, but they're gearing up to make a major move in the third season."
According to the spy, the new addition would either replace Kim and NeNe or, if the oddly dynamic duo (hey, don't judge our small-screen addictions) can hammer out a deal, join them, along with fellow housewives Kandi Burruss, Lisa Wu-Hartwell and Sheree Whitfield.
One name that was floated (and immediately weighed down with cement shoes): stylist Tameka Foster Raymond, whose divorce from Usher was finalized in November, nine months after she nearly died during a liposuction procedure in Brazil.
RELATED: Become a fan of Wonderwall on Facebook
"Tameka isn't very popular in Atlanta," explains the insider. "The producers asked each one of the women how they would feel if she were cast, and they all said that they'd walk. That's the one thing they've been united about."
For now, Bravo is staying tight-lipped on the fate of the cast, although Kim doesn't seem at all concerned.
On Wednesday, she tweeted, "Have I mentioned how happy I am!"

With growing migration to apps, gratis Red Apple app weekend leads to more than 40,000 downloads.
Beaumont, CA (PRWEB) February 25, 2014
The folks at Red Apple Reading know you cant buy love. Thats why, for Valentines Day weekend, the makers of the online childrens reading program gave away access to their program apps in the iTunes store during a three-day free-for-all met with a resounding response. Over 40,000 users spanning the globe took advantage of the download app-ortunity over the weekend.
Tammy Bennecke, president and founder of Red Apple Reading, said the gaming giveaway was created to showcase its release of the Island Adventures program apps in the iTunes store, modeled after the programming found on the Red Apple Reading website, including videos, activities, and reading skills enhancement for children ages 4 to 9 looking to improve or get ahead in their reading skills.
We wanted a way to give the apps to our existing online members, so we decided to share the love, Bennecke explained. We listed out three main program apps in iTunes for no chargea $25 valuefrom Friday, February 14, through Sunday, February 17.
While Red Apple Reading already has more than 4000 children using the online program at http://www.redapplereading.com, Bennecke was pleasantly surprised at the weekends participant volume. Despite foregoing any official advertising, word of the deal spread quickly, and soon the downloads began.
By Friday afternoon, a few different blogging and educational app sites had discovered the free apps and shared them via Facebook and Twitter, Bennecke recounted. We ended up with more than 40,000 downloads through the weekend.
With the seemingly unstoppable popularity of app usage for all ages, Bennecke and her Red Apple Reading crew are fired up about firing up young learners with Red Apple Reading.
We are really excited that so many more children now have the opportunity to use the program, and are getting access to the reading help they may need, she said.
To learn more about the Red Apple Reading Island Adventures app, visit the apps iTunes store link. For more information on Red Apple Reading tools for parents, including how to gain access to progress reports and free resources, visit http://www.redapplereading.com.

This is largely down to the MC500's three CCDs (Charge Coupled Device) -- it uses three entirely separate sensors that respond independently to red, green and blue light. Because of this colour separation, the picture recorded to the MC500's internal microdrive is better than anything a single-CCD system is capable of.
The most convincing reason to consider the MC500 is its size. Unlike most camcorders, it will fit in your pocket. Because of this, you'll find yourself taking the MC500 camcorder to places you would never take a full-sized one. Carrying it around is barely more of a commitment than carrying a large wallet.
The MC500's chassis design reminded us of the massive Panavision cameras that Hollywood movie studios use to shoot feature films. Although the MC500 is tiny, it does share a few features with the full-sized professional 3CCD camcorders. These features include a manual focus ring and widescreen lens hood. It may not challenge the performance you'll get from something like the Canon XL2, but for a handheld consumer camcorder, it definitely has an indie-filmmaker vibe.
As with the MC200, you'll find yourself using inventive new shooting positions when holding the MC500's small body. The lens and grip parts of the MC500 swivel on a pivot, which lets you angle the viewfinder independently from the lens itself. This is especially useful when shooting over the heads of crowds, or tracking low shots. It also makes it easier to shoot footage surreptitiously and it's ideal if you want to video an interview subject without intimidating them with a full-sized camcorder pressed to your eyeball.
The LCD display on the MC500 is bright and visible despite the small chassis. This is critical because using the LCD is the only way of framing your shot -- the camcorder has no standard viewfinder. The MC500's hand-grip didn't cause any discomfort, even when shooting for long periods. It's possible that you'll forgo the hand grip completely and hold the camcorder as arbitrarily as you would any small object -- there is next to no weight to the thing (400g).
The internal Microdrive is easily removed from the chassis. A catch releases the drive cover and the Microdrive ejects when you press a PCMCIA-style button. You can also eject the MC500's battery, but you won't need to do this unless you have extra batteries to swap it with. There is no external charger included with the camcorder, so unless you buy one separately, you'll have to leave the battery in the camcorder to charge it.
The MC500 uses three 1/4.5-inch 1.33-megapixel (1363x975) CCDs to capture your video. This senses 4:3 (full-frame) video at 960x720 pixels and 16:9 (widescreen) video at 1280x720pixels. Although the effective resolution is slightly lower, this is still an impressive feat for such a small device. That the MC500 supports widescreen is in itself impressive -- some full-sized camcorders fail to achieve this.
In a bright environment, the MC500's three CCDs will capture good colour detail, although low-light recording without the built-in headlight is dreamlike and blurry. This is a common problem with DV camcorders, although the MC500's three CCDs mean that video shot in low light is far better than with a single-CCD model.
Perfunctory information about your recording is shown on the camcorder's screen, including time, date and battery level. As you would expect from a 46mm LCD, the icons on the MC500's display are small, but they are legible. You can alter settings via a series of on-screen menus, but a rotary dial on the side of the camcorder determines shooting modes. The dial switches recording from Movie to Photo modes as well as a number of preset modes like sports and night-time.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
JSIS is a warm and welcoming community with very involved parents. The teachers are highly committed and wonderful. The immersion program is a highlight. The new principal is energetic and highly engaged. Overall, we feel quite lucky to be in this school.
I continue to be disappointed with the administration of this school. The school just implemented a new policy which requires parents to sign in when they go to see a teacher before classes. Overall, a good idea, something they should have been doing for years. Of course, I've found that they administration is never proactive, just reactive. Today I arrived with my son and we went to see his teacher before class. I was unaware of the policy and walked as we always did down the hall. I would have expected something like, "Excuse me..." or "We have a new sign in policy.." but what I got was a "HEY! YOU! STOP! HEY! HEY!" I felt like I was being barked at by a chained dog. One could say that they are just really concerned about safety, but considering the fact they lost my son after school three times last year and never called me, I just don't see that they care about anything than ticking of check-boxes and sticking to simple rules. I am really losing any confidence in this school, and if it were not for the fact that our other child went to a really great school, I would have completely given up on Seattle public schools.
I am sorry to say I am somehow disappointed with our experience at JSIS. While some teachers are outstanding some others are not, but I understand that is a fact of life. The principal Miss Alvarez does not seem to be available, it is the vice principal that usually meets with parents when we have concerns. As PTSA board member I am well informed of the school "going ons" but do not believe there is a strong sense of community like other people think. Regarding the language immersion aspect of the program, I can say it is wonderful to see children learn math and science in a foreign language but this DOES NOT make the fluent speakers. I recently realized (from speaking with my child's classmates during a playdate) that none of them spoke their foreign language at a level I would expect from students being immersed" for the last 5 plus years (my child is in 5th grade, and a native speaker). I came to the realization the program does not teach any grammar or sentence structure, so kids always speak in the third person. Finally, the "international school" label is misleading. There are just a handful of "heritage speakers" attending the school. Diversity is slim.
My daughter attended this school for three years. Simply put, their program did not work for her. I had to pull her out of this school. She needed more phonics. Also the classroom sizes have grown to big at this school - around 31 per class. And the teachers always seem overwhelmed.
Amazing immersion program with highly dedicated teachers and strong support from the parents in a very tight knit community make this a first-rate school.
I find that principle to be unavailable and close minded. I don't feel that parents are given the respect of deserved. While the school does have a good reputation, I hope the management can become less focused on himself and more focused on the people.
John Stanford is struggling a bit under the new student assignment plan to accommodate all the students in the neighborhood. There were close to 90 Kindergarteners last year and 100 KIndergarteners this year. The school will rapidly be struggling with serious capacity issues if the district doesn't make some adjustments soon. The school offers a great program with a strong teaching staff and excellent, supportive principal. The high quality exacerbates the crowding issues as parents move into the area to gain access. The parent community is friendly and strong, but the diversity of the student body is rapidly dropping as the English Language Learners are being moved out to accommodate the neighborhood kids.
Outstanding education team - highly communicative - direct and competent. This is a caring community of professionals who put children and their learning first. Love this school
JSIS is a language immersion school that offers either Spanish or Japanese Immersion. Students complete 5th grade being fairly fluent in their chosen language. They have an international outlook on the world and are accepting of all cultures. It is an amazing place to be!
I am a parent of two at JSIS. Although the language immersion program is positive, I am not sure it is such a great idea anymore. I think I am going to look for a more back to basics elementary. There is something lacking in the focus here.
This is our sixth year with JSIS, all in the Spanish immersion program. Our students were the 'guinea pigs' for a new program, which I am happy to say has finally seemed to have worked out the kinks. With a newly revitalized music program and other programs designed to encouragement community involvement and worldwide awareness, JSIS has grown into one of the finest schools in Seattle, public or otherwise. Parent involvement is fairly high, and the school has done much to build a community among the students. Teachers and other staff are becoming more comfortable with technology (such as communicating via email), and this makes things easier.

The spark plug wire set carries high voltage pulses from the spark plug terminals to the spark plugs. It is a set of high voltage wires, wrapped in with thick insulation, that connects the spark plugs to the distributor cap. As the rotor arcs high voltage pulses from the central terminal to the spark plug terminals in the distributor cap, the pulses are then carried by the spark plug wire set down to the spark plugs to produce sparks needed to ignite the compressed fuel. Damaged spark plug wire can cause several engine problems such as rough and erratic engine idle, engine miss or incomplete engine combustion, engine hesitation or poor to no acceleration of the vehicle when the acceleration pedal is pressed down, reduced engine power, and engine surge or the condition when the RPM drops down and then goes back while the acceleration pedal is held down steadily.

In the wake of Friday's school shooting in Newtown, Conn., Blair County's largest school district has made immediate adjustments to its security procedures.
The new security measures are not meant to alarm students or parents but to ensure students' safety, Altoona Area School District spokeswoman Paula Foreman said Wednesday in a news release.
District administrators met with representatives from the Altoona Fire Department, Altoona Police Department, Blair County Emergency Management Agency and Logan Township Police Department on Tuesday to review safety plans and procedures, the release stated.
As a result of the security review, Logan Township and Altoona police will include elementary schools within their jurisdiction into their daily patrols, and officers will periodically make themselves visible in the schools.
The district's Police Services Department will also make periodic visits to all elementary schools.
Physical security enhancements will be added to school buildings as identified, the release stated.

This is the second time I have bought this item for my brother-in-law. I bought one about six or seven years ago. He lives on a small farm and used it consistently. The handle snapped from overuse, so he asked me to buy him a replacement. He likes this tool.

Andrew Bynum has been spotted playing basketball. … Well, at least shooting hoops inside Dave & Busters.
This picture was posted on CrossingBroad.com on Thursday night.
Apparently Bynum spent about an hour inside Dave & Busters – not the kind of basketball Sixers fans wanted to see Bynum play.
The center, acquired via a four-way trade that sent Andre Iguodala to the Denver Nuggets and Dwight Howard to the Los Angeles Lakers, has yet to play for the Sixers due to injuries now to both knees.

Lytro has unveiled the world's first light field camera as a consumer-friendly device. The Silicon Valley start-up teased photographers and the tech savvy with sample images in June which left many in awe, myself included.
The Lytro camera works by capturing the light field, which is described as all of the light traveling in every direction in every point in space, including the color and vector direction. Lytro's light field sensor is able to capture 11 million light rays in a single shot. This data is lost in a conventional camera which simply adds all of the light rays and records them as a single amount of light.
This data can then be manipulated inside the camera, on a computer and even online. At launch, only a Mac application will be available for computer manipulation. A Windows version will follow soon after, as will support for 3D viewing.
The Lytro camera looks more like a child's kaleidoscope than a consumer digital camera. The device is 4.4-inches long and 1.6-inches square with only two buttons, a power button and a shutter button. The lens remains constant at f/2 aperture and there is an 8x optical zoom controlled by a touch-sensitive strip. Additionally there is a USB port to upload photos to your computer. The camera lacks a built-in flash but is said to perform well in low light conditions. There is also no removable battery or storage; everything remains inside.
So what does all of this technical jargon mean to end users? Essentially you have an easy-to-use camera that eliminates the need to focus your shots. You can adjust the focus after the fact, and so can anyone else.
Lytro offers an 8GB version that can hold 350 pictures for $399. A 16GB model that can store up to 750 images can be yours for $499. Pre-orders are being accepted now and cameras are expected to ship in early 2012.

wow i'm going to lose my camera among my change!
I like the way it looks, kinda simple and well built. Reminds me of Apple Products. Heck even the Lytro site has the Apple feel to it. Pricing too seems over charged - Apple
Is this just for facebook & such? Whats the resolution? All the samples are pretty small...
If I'm running Hi def I'd want a HQ desktop image...

lol by built I mean looks sturdy however actually being sturdy is another thing XD
A square box with rounded corners.I feel another Apple lawsuit coming on.
Didn't seem to find how many megapixels..
Anybody happen to know?
Field light camera don't work in the same way as conventional cameras, so you can't compare them in terms of megapixels.
I think it is fantastic they have gone for a square format, so you can crop to be portrait or landscape later. It's just a shame that they didn't produce more of a prosumer body.
First, to qualify my comments - the idea sounds absolutely great.
Let's pose another question - what's the maximum usable print size that this camera can produce?
Nice idea but I am not really impressed after manipulating the images on their website ...
I'll wait until V2.0 to take the plunge, but the notion of selecting a focus points after the shutter is pressed is very intriguing.
I think overall though that the device is too expensive to tempt people to explore the technology.
Pro's will focus on the lack of features, post processing options, no windows support for the devices image collection, limitations of uploading the pics to F'book or to Lytro's Cloud. Non pro camera geeks will balk at the price. And the rest of the market will consider selecting focus points post shoot a novelty.
750 photos in 16GB = 22Mb per photo, so I would expect the final .jpg produced after all manipulation to have a decent number of pixels, definitely above 12MP!
