The Yoga Shala is currently seeking healing arts practitioners to join our community. Therapeutic massage has always been an offering at The Yoga Shala. With Oni moving on to new and exciting adventures (in addition to focusing on her teaching), new opportunities await. Our beautiful treatment room is available for rent. Ideally, two or three practitioners can utilize the space in a shared format. Contact Val at the shala to discuss this exciting opportunity.
About Therapeutic Massage:
Massage therapy is a complementary healing practice to the yoga teachings and can help practitioners learn more about their movement patterns and areas of tension and holding in the body. The Yoga Shala has a dedicated massage therapy space and is pleased to have an exceptional therapist, Oni as a part of the shala team. Massage appointments are made directly with the therapist. Clients do not need to be practicing members of our yoga community. All are welcome.
Massage also brings greater awareness to the yoga practitioner. Bodywork increases awareness to areas of muscle tension…some of which we did not previously know existed. We learn that there are whole muscle groups which have been "asleep" in our yoga practice, and we "awaken" to their usefulness and begin to access them in our daily practice.
Trigger points are marble or thumb size areas of hypertonic tissue that create pain and restrict movement. Deactivating trigger points through massage therapy techniques relieves pain and creates openness and increased range of motion.

text: Review Content Quiet, portable and easy to operate! Have not needed to use it as of this date. Wanted it for power outages. Keep it plugged in , out of the way. I know that I will be prepared. The Good, The Bad, But NOT So Ugly THE GOOD: -Compact, Easy Controls, Attractive Design -Large Microwave Sized -Simple Display -Simple Setup -Decent Battery Life for small appliances (microwave oven, toaster, small grills, computer, cell phones, etc.) *Manufacturer states that it can power a refrigerator for 2 days. I have not tried this, but I suspect that you cannot attach it along with other devices as it may exceed the voltage count. THE BAD: -Heavy, HeAvY, HEAVY!!! The delivery guy even suggested I bring out a hand truck or a dolly just to move the generator around the house. I do not own one, but luckily for me, I have tiled floors and could just slide the box around. If you have carpeting, attach the wheel and handle assembly to the generator as soon as possible to avoid straining yourself lugging it into the next room. **WARNING** IF YOU ARE NOT A PERSON THAT EXERCISES AND DOES EXTENSIVE WEIGHT TRAINING, DO NOT BELIEVE THE PICTURE OF THE GENERATOR SITTING ON THE COUNTER NEXT TO THE REFRIGERATOR! YOU WILL HURT YOURSELF!!! If you DO NO Well Engineered but Heavy and Expensive I can lift this up by myself, and it comes with well-designed trolley wheels. But it is too heavy to move up and down steps except for a strong person with a good back. I will put a couple in the basement and feed electrical wires to the first floor of my house. Solid and cost effective I cant use the solar panels and dont really see their use. The product charges from 110 v ac in the house, and that is sufficient. I place this product in the basement and run electrical extensions through the basement ceiling to various points on the first floor.

Supervisors clash over internal audit
The county's ongoing internal audit drew sharp disagreement among members of the Board of Supervisors last week.
CPA Michael Thompson complained to the Board that "the progress of the audit was held up due to not having access to (records of) the Tourism Development Foundation."

Royal NaturalistsThe royal entourage would be accompanied by a team of scientists, painters, researchers and academics. The men of letters included Johannes Baptist von Spix, Philipp F. von Martius and Johannes Baptist Natterer. Brazil at that time contained unknown secrets; the land was perceived to be brimming with wealth and its wildlife was an enigma. Evidence of the latter and the tremendous achievement of the expedition is seen the number of species named after the Austrians that accompanied the Archduchess Leopoldine. Spix had Cyanopsita spixii, a macaw named after him. Martius had his name attached to the palm Orbygnia martiana. Natterera had the piranha Serrasalmus nattereri and a parrot Amazona ochrocephala nattereri, to give just a few examples.
An expedition to learn about nature in Brazil fell in line with the thinking of the Austrian royal family, who were very interested in nature. The Emperor had commissioned a garden in Schönbrunn, which later became a zoo. Leopoldine herself kept a parrot, white foxes and bantam chickens.
Eventually, most of the expedition members returned to Austria, but Natterer persisted, chartering unknown territory. Many travails besieged him; he lost Sochor, his companion, he almost died, and he lost many important documents, animals and plants. He survived and endured, eventually reaching Barcelos on the Amazon.
Discovering DiscusBetween 1831 and 1834, a discus fish was caught in his nets. I have walked the streets of Barcelos, known for its importance in the cardinal (Paracheirodon axelrodi) trade, and have wondered how it must have looked at the time of Natterer's visit. I suspect the jungle has changed little; the town itself on the other hand has unquestionably seen many changes in its history. For one, it is an imortant gathering point for the export of tropical fishes.
Natterer reached Austria on August 13, 1835. His collection trip lasted 18 years. During this time, he acquired 1,671 species of fishes, 1,146 mammals, 1,024 types of mussels and many others. In all, Natterer returned to Austria with more than 50,000 well preserved secimens, many totally new to science. Natterer was also the first European to hold a discus fish in his hands.
One of the scientist to work on Natterer's collection was Johann Jacob Heckel, an icthyologist and systematist working at the Natural History Mueseum in Vienna. In 1840, Heckel described the unusually shaped cichlid that Natterer had obtained in Brazil. He calles it Symphysodon discus. That fish is now commonly called the Heckel discus fish in the aquarium trade.
Heckel DiscusThe Heckel is the most unique discus fish. The other species are not difficult to breed; even wild discus fish will breed in water conditions far removed from those in the wild. The Heckel, however, requires an acidic and soft water. In the wild, the pH of the water it is found in can be as low as 3.2 and never above 5.0.
The Heckel will thrive in an aquarium with a higher pH but a pair simply will not breed. Indeed, the few that have achieved success have done so by replicating water conditions similar to the wild. Hybrids with other discus fish species have been produced, but invariably involve a male Heckel who is literally forced to spawn by a female discus fish of another species.
The lack of demand for the Heckel — aquarists want spectacularly colored strains and not wild fish — has contributed to the Heckel not being domesticated, which would have resulted in easier to breed fish generation after generation. The common angelfish was at one time as difficult to breed as the Heckel, but persistence and demand resulted in continued breeding. Today tank-raised angelfish are so easily spawned that even a novice can achieve success. Tank-raised angelfish are not demanding in terms of fish food, water conditions or even water temperature. We see a very changed situation when we compare domesticated angelfish to their wild counterparts, which like Heckel discus, are bred by pairing a wild male with a tank-raised female, who also forces the male to spawn.
An example of the lack of interest in the Heckel is seen in Asia, the center for discus fish breeding. As I write this, I am flying from Singapore to Tokyo. While in Asia, I visited many commercial discus breeding operations in Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore, and not one kept Heckels. None find it commercially viable. Only an old friend in Johor Baru in Malaysia breeds the Heckel and has done so for many generations, but he produces only a handful of fish and then simply for his own enjoyment. The effort and expense would never make it viable for him to rear them in large numbers. He has a keeper that cares for the dozen or so aquariums and whose job is to collect rainwater, feed the Heckels live fish food and keep them immaculately clean.
This difficulty in breeding the Heckel and lack of interest from a commercial perspective is unfortunate, for the Heckel has the most perfect round body of all the discus fish, the desired shape in a discus. Their striations are near horizontal, which adds to their beauty. The dark first, fifth and ninth vertical bars are considered by some unattractive, but I find tha they add to the beauty. It is also more regal in its movements. It is beautiful in its own right. Perhaps one day, when interest in discus fish focuses again on wild fish, as it has in the past, someone will look at breeding the Heckel commercially. Until then, aquarists will have access to wild Heckels that each year are exported by the hundreds from Manaus in Brazil.

Very interesting article on the history of discus. I did not know about this. Thanks for the great article.

Why CNN Fails
Randy Shaw: CNN's chief problem is not a lack of partisanship. Instead, it is that CNN's "news" primarily consists of opinions from partisan political hacks. Most work for CNN because no candidate wants to hire them, and it's an easy gig because they don't have to know much about the subjects they pontificate about. Does CNN really believe viewers are still interested in the opinions of the corporate-funded James Carville? Or that CNN will steal viewers from FOX News by hiring Erick Erickson of Redstate.com, who publicly threatened to shoot census workers? CNN is failing because it's selling stale conventional wisdom, which viewers are rejecting.

New Blog Highlights Extremist Material at Brown University
Rhode Island
United States
Date Submitted:
Announcement ID:
A new blog has been created for The Gordon Hall and Grace Hoag Collection of Dissenting and Extremist Printed Propaganda. This blog will be updated about once a week for the next three years with the purpose to chronicle the three year CLIR grant awarded to Brown University in 2011, highlight specific items from Hall Hoag Collection and give richer context to researchers using the collection. The site will include images from the collection, work updates, grant reports, technical approaches used, and audio/video testimonials of people working with the collection. As progress is made with the project the blog could become a useful resource for others working on similar things.
Visit the blog here: http://blogs.brown.edu/hallhoag/
Any comments, suggestions or questions should be sent to Daniel Johnson (email@example.com).
Background on the Collection
The Hall Hoag Collection contains 800 cartons (2,400 linear feet or ca. 700,000 items) of unprocessed material representing a broad spectrum of militant political, social and religious dissent in the United States, from the post-World War II period to the present. This collection of items emanating from roughly 30,000 organizations, constitutes the country's largest research collection of right and left wing U.S. extremist groups, from 1950 to 1999. The collection began when Gordon Hall, a young veteran of the Pacific Theatre during the war, first encountered the printed propaganda issued by domestic hate-your-neighbor organizations/groups in the late 1940's. He supported his investigations and research of these organizations by giving public lectures about them. Materials from all corners of the country were collected, enabling him to document statements made in lectures as well as in a growing number of expository articles written for newspapers and magazines. Grace Hoag, an alumna of Smith College, began collaboration with Hall during the 1960's, assisting the research and investigation and expanding the collection beyond its initial emphasis. Includes publications of Anti-Abortion organizations; Anti-Integrationist organizations; Anti-Semitic and Racist political parties; Christian Identity organizations; Communist organizations; Communist political parties; Communist publishers; Congressional investigating committees; Cults and Alternative religions; Extreme Left-Wing publishers; Ku Klux Klan organizations; LaRouche organizations; Marxist-Leninist organizations; Militant Anti-Communist organizations; Militant Populist organizations; Neo-Nazi organizations; Pacifist organizations; Racial and Ethnic Consciousness organizations; Right-Wing Christian religious organizations; and Right-Wing publishers.

HB6 Refill Blades
11 Reviews
Write Review >
Refill blades can now be purchased in a Shave Plan, customizable by you and a la carte. Select your blades & delivery frequency, then add the other items you want in your Shave Plan. Shave Plan orders always ship FREE, no commitment required. Visit our Shave Plan FAQ for more information.
Our most advanced razor cartridge has all the great features of the HB4 (flow thru design, seamless blade construction) yet has two more blades! You think we're crazy. Sure, we kind of are since we spend our lives obsessing over the perfect headshave. So if this is overkill then pick up the HB4 but if you want to be the smoothest cat on the block, splurge for the HB6. Your baby's butt will think it's looking in a mirror. Makes sense only to us.
We've spent over three years creating a unique pivot that lets the HB6 blade cartridge to be used on any HeadBlade, including the original HeadBlade Classic! All you have to do is used the supplied adapter that comes in each blade kit. Kit contains one adapter and four blades.
HB6 refill blades can be used on the HeadBlade ATX, S4 Shark and all past HeadBlade models.

|Reviewer: Rick G (Avon Lake, OH)
|Have been using 6 blades for several months now. Very happy with it have had no nocks,cuts or scrapes with the 6 blades. I admit it took awhile to get used to it. Took awhile to learn how to get a close shave.
|the best , 8.4.2013
|Reviewer: Paul Carter (South bend, Indiana)
|the best shave ever i might try HB6 next time i didn't think i would love it but i do i can go two day's without shaving and it is still smooth
|4 is better than 6 for me, 4.24.2013
|Reviewer: CakemanPa (Hershey, PA)
|I liked the 6 well enough. I found the the 4 did a better job where my head is not perfectly smooth. I am guessing that the 4 is a tad smaller.

Doug Barnett was controller of a communications technology company last year when his bosses wanted him to relocate to the California headquarters. Barnett hesitated. He loved Charleston, his wife had a job here, and his father who lived in Greenville had just suffered a stroke.
Moving just didnt feel right, Barnett recalls.
Yet it wasnt so simple. His investments had tanked with the economic downturn. And it was spring 2011, hardly a time when a guy working in the financial world, with a 4-month-old daughter, wanted to be out job hunting.
Barnett is a man of strong faith, however, and he felt called to stay in Charleston. So he did.
In May 2011, he officially considered himself between jobs.
He spent the summer focusing on a new business venture in town, but in August 2011, the funding for that project fell through.
Fear set in. He wasnt between jobs. At 43, he was unemployed.
I felt this mountain of pressure, he recalls. It became doing whatever I needed to do to make deposits into a bank account.
The accountant took jobs cutting grass. He helped cater events. He worked for Mosquito Squad. He got through some days just by chanting in his head: No pride, give thanks. No pride, give thanks.
Because pride comes before ... what? A fall.
And a free fall of despair threatened to overwhelm him. To stay busy, he volunteered at his church, St. Andrews in Mount Pleasant. He organized ushers. He talked to people.
And he came to realize that at this large church, with so many middle- and upper-middle class members, set in the heart of Mount Pleasant, he was not alone.
You wouldnt know it, because nobody talked about it.
There was a large group of people with the same problem and we were all acting like everything was OK, Barnett says.
He was volunteering in the church kitchen one day when Rector Steve Wood waved hello. Barnett ran after him. Did the church have a way to connect members who need work with those who need workers?
Go talk to Kurtz and make it happen, Barnett recalls Wood saying.
So he did.
Kurtz Smith, the church mens ministry leader, also was searching for a way to address all the tragic stories he had been hearing from folks facing layoffs and pay cuts.
A new jobs ministry was born.
Barnett figured that maybe 100 business owners attended St. Andrews. Each of them probably knew 10 more. How many job openings did they all know about, namely jobs not advertised on popular websites and job boards?
Might as well be zero if they didnt know who most needed those jobs.
Its totally off the table if you dont talk about it, if you dont put your pride aside and take ownership of your problem, Barnett says. Youre not alone. Our whole country is going through this problem.
Theres a certain irony, and not the funny kind, to what happened next. A week before Christmas, just as the jobs ministry prepared to kick off, Smiths wife, Mary, was laid off herself.
All of a sudden, it came to my front door, Smith says.
He realized two things: Unemployment is devastating to the entire family, and shame is at its core.
If you are fired or terminated, you almost go through a grieving process, Smith says. A lot of folks just stuff it away. They take it as a shameful thing, and thats not the way it should be.
Besides, you never know who knows of a job.
In fact, church is where Barnett met Andy Breaux, who went through unemployment himself and now is chief operating officer of American Benefit Services. When Breaux needed someone to help hire people for sales positions, he hired Barnett.
In January, St. Andrews kicked off its jobs ministry at a breakfast where Barnett and Breaux put aside their pride and shared their humbling stories and mutual ascents from despair with 150 guys.
Then St. Andrews set up StAndrewsJobs.info, a website where members post jobs for everything from mosquito control applicators to electricians to nannies to listings at Water Missions International. In turn, members can post their experience and job needs.
Next up: a Career Transition Course for those who are unemployed or underemployed. The free, four-week course will cover such topics as networking, writing effective resumes and cover letters, and securing interviews. The next session starts Friday.
Register ahead. Arrive at 9 a.m. Dont be late.
The idea: Get out of bed, shower and head out of the door. Many folks who are unemployed face a lonely, unstructured workday filled with job hunting and likely rejection.
Or, perhaps worse, silence.
Smith describes his as a tough-love approach. Yes, the course offers support, but participants will be held accountable. How many people did you network with this week? How many resumes did you deliver? Because as God will help you, Smith adds, so you must help yourself.
To Barnett, the experience compares a parent disciplining a child. God wanted him to change, and He wasnt going to make it easy.
Its the best thing that ever happened to me that I never want to go through again, Barnett says.
Unemployment was especially stressful for Doug Barnett, knowing he had his baby girl, Abigail, to support.×

Kitchen Before & After: Debra's Bibliothèque Paris Kitchen Renovation
As the apartment is small, it was a real challenge to make every space count. I therefore decided to make the kitchen open, knocking down all walls and having it intergrated with my living room. It then had to have a feeling of a bibliothèque rather than a full-blown kitchen. The end result had to work with the living area and also be a real working kitchen. I love spending time in the kitchen preparing great things that make people happy and full! It isn't so important how big your kitchen is but how organized, so that you can actually prepare and cook with as little stress as possible and have fun! An open kitchen like this one allows you to share the social aspect of cooking with your guests, thus my attraction to this type of set up. I have a similar one in my fisherman's cottage in Normandy so people can actually chip in and help or hang out by the fireplace and relax.Thanks for sharing, Debra!

Dallas ISD investigator who helped lead sports recruiting probe quits
Dallas ISD's Professional Standards Office, which has been in flux after its manager was placed on leave last month, has now lost a top investigator.
Joseph Papa, who joined DISD in May, turned in his resignation notice last week and will leave the school district today. Papa and his boss, Jeremy Liebbe, led the investigations of a sports recruiting scandal that cost 15 people their jobs.
His departure and Liebbe's placement on leave raise concern about Dallas ISD's ability to defend the grievances filed by several dismissed athletics officials. The appeals hearings were expected to start soon.
Former athletics department director Jeff Johnson, assistant director Goree Johnson and Anita Connally, the UIL compliance officer, have appealed their terminations. Papa and Liebbe wrote investigative reports on the 11 coaches who were terminated, but they didn't write reports on the fired administrators.
Because they didn't put anything in writing, Papa and Liebbe's testimony in the hearings was expected to play a critical role in the district's defense.
Papa joined DISD from department store Big Lots, where he was a regional loss prevention manager. He is returning to Big Lots.

Fox quietly positions 'The Book Thief' from 'Downton Abbey' director Brian Percival in the middle of awards season
Fox has made a big splash recently with materials for Ben Stiller's "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty," positioning it well with a New York Film Festival debut and pretty much following the "Life of Pi" playbook for what could be the filmmaker's first big awards player to date. But meanwhile, a Holocaust drama from a "Downton Abbey" director with Geoffrey Rush, Emily Watson and 12-year-old lead actress has been quietly positioned in the midst of the Oscar fray and could be another player for the studio.
Indeed, the Nov. 15 positioning for Brian Percival's "The Book Thief" was done so quietly in fact that it slipped right past the first outlet to let you know it might happen -- ahem, us. We've had the film situated on our charts since they were first updated in early July, waiting to see if the move would come to fruition.
A couple of weeks ago, Fox locked it in, putting the young adult adaptation in the same release date air as Lionsgate's "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire." But has the studio set the board for a potential awards season sneak attack, or is the fall just a better strategic time to release the film, which was originally set for Jan. 17? Time will tell.
Adapted from the novel by Markus Zusak, "The Book Thief" stars Sophie Nélisse as a young foster girl living outside of Munich who scratches out a meager existence for herself by stealing. That thievery eventually extends to books, ever-scarce in Nazi-infested Germany. She soon discovers the joy of reading and shares her stolen books with her neighbors during bombing raids, as well as with the Jewish man being hidden in her family's basement. Rush and Watson star as her foster parents.
Nélisse won a Genie Award recently for her feature film debut in the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar nominee "Monsieur Lazhar." Rush, of course, won an Oscar for 1996's "Shine" while Watson is herself a two-time Academy Award nominee for "Breaking the Waves" and "Hilary and Jackie."
"The Book Thief" is the second theatrical feature for Percival, who has been a major directorial force on PBS' Emmy Award-winning series "Downton Abbey." It obviously has a meaty premise that plays like something of an echo to George Clooney's expected awards play, "The Monuments Men." And if awards are indeed part of the strategy, Fox is being smart by keeping it low on the radar, for now. If nothing else, keep an eye on the original score grabbing a nomination. As we all know, the legendary John Williams picks up nominations in his sleep and, perhaps surprisingly, he's currently scoring the film, one of the rare occasions of him taking on a job that isn't a Steven Spielberg or a George Lucas joint.
"There are some devastating aspects of watching a girl going from age 10 to 15 trying to make sense of a world so badly off balance," Rush told USA Today in a recent first look at the film that was mostly an introductory piece for Nélisse. "But in a way it's such a fresh story, there is such rich detailed humanity in the ordinary lives of these people."
Along with films like Scott Cooper's "Out of the Furnace," David O. Russell's "American Hustle" and the aforementioned "The Monuments Men," "The Book Thief" will be bypassing the festival route in favor of a big immediate splash. Will it figure into the Oscar landscape? It certainly could.
"The Book Thief" arrives in theaters on Nov. 15.

Jilted Joe
Once a Playboy, Joe Namath Now Plays Golf—which Is One Reason Why His Much Younger Wife Wants Out
But the transformation from Broadway Joe to Fairway Joe has taken Namath, 55, to the brink of bachelorhood again. After 14 years of marriage, he and Tatiana Namath, 37, an aspiring actress he met at a voice class in 1983—and the mother of his daughters Jessica, 13, and Olivia, 8—have filed for divorce. Tatiana, formerly known as Deborah Mays (she changed her name after a namesake cousin was killed), cites their placid existence as the reason for the split. "Joe has lived an exciting life, so he's happy to relax now," she says. "I had children at 24, and I've grown in a way that I'd like to be more stimulated."
That has meant fleeing the couple's rambling riverfront home in Bay Harbor, a posh community in Tequesta, Fla., for Santa Monica, Calif., where Tatiana is dating plastic surgeon Brian Novack, 44, and embarking on a career as a playwright. "It's better for my kids to see me happy and fulfilled," says Tatiana, who admits that the divorce "is not something Joe wanted." (Namath would not comment.) Still, Namath, who led his underdog team to a historic 1969 Super Bowl win, has remained the doting dad, recently going on a friendly vacation with his family in Utah. (The Namaths plan to share custody of their children.)
Yet for the once and future bachelor, divorce is undoubtedly painful. "My family's the most important thing in my life," he told USA Today in January. Deep down, says Tatiana, "he's proud of me for making a difficult decision to reach my potential. He just wishes it wasn't in this way, I'm sure."

Canon PowerShot A1300 Review
Latest Camera Reviews
Your Comments
23 Comments | Newest Oldest First | Post a Comment
I am missing all images!!!
Ok, I finally got it. For small prints, a great little camera.
How can value for money be scored the lowest? It's a $70 camera and you think we should expect more?
what a great little camera
Chinese crap.
The reviewer says the image quality is "great" when viewed at lower ISO's, but that's not true if you view the images at the pixel level on a screen. The images are blurry with heavy smearing of details due to noise reduction, and there is lots of purple-fringing. I'm guessing that the reviewer is printing images and basing his comments on the prints, but that's not the way to judge image quality. Only on a screen can you align each pixel in an image to a pixel on the screen—you can't do that with prints—so only on a screen can you judge the quality of detail. The quality of the details in the sample images is lousy, so the camera is lousy (as in camera-phone level lousy).
I agree somehow with Adam that value for money should be scored above average as one can really hardly gets a cheaper camera and for this price the little thing does quite a bit.
I got one for taking pictures through a telescope. It is working quite well as it is not heavy and the optics are good. The only thing I am missing is that there is no choice for exposure time shorter than 1 second. You have to rely on automatic time which is working most times quite good for the moon but not all for stars and planets. Whereas for stars with low magnification on the telescope (25 or 30 times) 1 second is still working, planets like Jupiter or Saturn are overexposed and you do not see any details like clouds on Jupiter or the ring of Saturn. For more magnification 1 second is too slow as stars or planets already starting to appear as lines instead of dots or disks because of the movement of the earth.
I got this little camera for taking pictures of sky objects through a beginnner's telescope. I am generally quite pleased. The only thing I missed when buying this camera that there is no customer's choice of exposure time when it comes to shorter times than 1 second. Between 1 sec and 15 sec you have choices in the night sky mode. That means that one can use only small magnification on the telescope and/or the camera. Otherwise the stars are not any more like dots but more like lines because of the movement of the earth. And planets are overexposed so one does not see any details like clouds of Jupiter or the ring(s) of Saturn. Taking pictures of the moon is possible as the moon is so bright that the camera's choice of the time is working most of the times ok. I was quite pleased with open star clusters like the Pleiades, the Hyades, Praesepe or the area of Orion Nebula.
I agree somehow with Adam that the lowest score value for money is questionable.
Try CHDK, it's available for 1.00b, 1.00d, 1.00e versions.
I have the feel that A1200 had better image quality, though, you really only need 8MP or less to most of prints expected from these cameras.
Anyone looking for pixel level perfection can go look in other side and budget…
This is actually a great little point and shoot camera. I bought one a couple weeks ago and have gotten some really great stills of birds at a local park here in Oregon. Truly a good deal if you are in the market for a new point and shoot camera.
I'll say it again: camera-phone lousy. You simply cannot squeeze 16 MP onto a tiny sensor and get anything but lousy image quality. I have a 7-year-old Canon point-and-shoot camera that has a 7 MP sensor that has better image quality than this. The images from this camera may look good when printed at normal sizes, but how many photographs get printed these days—one percent? Most people view their photographs on their computer or iPad or some other electronic device. And if you decide to look at the details of your photos, you'll be disappointed.
What a cute little camera! I do wonder how they got 16MP into this tiny camera, but for the money, I think it's great. I would carry this camera, at $80.00 the pictures look very good to me. Mark passed on this review, but Matt did a great job! I find it very surprising that it's got an optical viewfinder and full HD, and it's better looking than the competition. I think carrying it in your pocket wouldn't bother the controls either, a common problem with small cameras. I really like this one. Hint, Hint!!
Oh, I'm here to say from the staff at photographyblog.com we want to wish our readers a safe and very HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
to you and your families. It's been another tough year, but it's over now so let's hope that 2013 will be better. People, please remember to drive safely, it's not worth rushing around just to save a few minutes. Better to get there in one piece! I must say that writing to you guys and helping you through your camera troubles has been fun, despite the few rough spots it was well worth it and I wish you all the best! Well, I'll see you guys next year. Good Luck,
... Joe Prete
wow!!great little camera. thanks
I have this and it is a great little camera fell in love with it.
Hard to believe some of the comments on here. It's like buying a Toyota Corolla and complaining that it's not a Rolls Royce! What on earth are you expecting for $80 bucks?
Don't expect much. The video quality is unacceptable. I had the video freeze frame upon playback while the sound played normally. This camera would be good for utilitarian purposes, as in taking eBay photos.
The reviewer despises the optical viewfinder, but this was the main selling point for me. On bright days you cannot see the screen on the back of digital cameras, which makes them all but useless.
I gave been super satisfied with my little camera and its results. It is ideal for me!
You have found one of the very best buys in Digital Photography.
Everyone who owns one of these loves this little camera. Me too!
… Joe Prete
Yes Joe.
I might have gone on to say that the end results are splendid, too. No doubt a really high end product might give you pictures you can blow up to the size of a wall, but the photographs this camera produces are crystal clear at the normal enlargement sizes ... And it is all so EASY!
Then there is the battery life, which is astonishing. My previous rechargeable vivitar always let me down. This one never does.
It has that viewfinder! Not completely accurate, but quite good enough for me, an amateur snapper. I can quite see why everyone loves it!
Sorry, the comments were down for almost 2 days on this thread, Mark just fixed it. I was going to say that this camera would have sold better, if Canon had priced it higher. When I told people about it, they thought that I was kidding. I have 2 now, the older one, I keep in the Glove Box of the car. It's good to know that it's there, in case of an accident or emergency. I think they are still in current production, so some people somewhere see it's value. When they are finally discontinued, and the price drops further, I think I will pick up another. … Joe
i have had this camera for a year all ways in my pocket when i go out, have now got about 100 a4 photos, have also got a fuji finepix s4300 which i never use. been taking photos for over 60 years
I love taking pictures, but have no patience for the technical stuff. Point and shoot, indeed. I got this camera because I like having a view finder and to replace the Canon Powershot A 560, which I loved. Much of my photos are documenting the garden. Somehow, I cannot get the thing to do macro consistently. The pictures are not nearly as good as those I took with my old camera. Disappointed.
