I am sure the prices will be just right so they sell well. Its just the money might goto some rather unsavory sources. Thats the problem with banning things you just create a bigger market for those who dont care about laws.

:D :p

[General Zod]

No luck in finding a camera I want. :( The good ones are all to expensive. :(

:D :p
That's a shame. :(
:D :p

[kurchatovium]

That's a shame. :(
:D :p

Either too expensive. Or not enough Megapixels. Or not good enough image quality. :(

:D :p

[General Zod]

I guess some camera makers figure they don't need to have a good sale to get more business. :shrug:

[kurchatovium]

I guess some camera makers figure they don't need to have a good sale to get more business. :shrug:

Yea it almost seems like the camera technology went backwards. Less Megapixels and poorer image quality. :(

:D :p

[General Zod]

Yea it almost seems like the camera technology went backwards. Less Megapixels and poorer image quality. :(

:D :p
That is odd. Maybe the camera makers figure photo shop,or other programs are our firend.

[kurchatovium]

That is odd. Maybe the camera makers figure photo shop,or other programs are our firend.

I believe they are having problems getting the optics to focus on the sensors properly. At least on the low end cameras. :(

:D :p

[General Zod]

I believe they are having problems getting the optics to focus on the sensors properly. At least on the low end cameras. :(

:D :p
I am no camera expert. :)
It does seem the lower end cameras have come down in price.

[kurchatovium]

I am no camera expert. :)

They are cheaper. Problem is they have come down in quality too. :(

:D :p

[General Zod]

They are cheaper. Problem is they have come down in quality too. :(

:D :p
Yeah. :( I may dig out my older camera and use it. Megapixels are not as big,but it seemed like it took better pix. :shrug:
:D :p

[kurchatovium]

Yeah. :( I may dig out my older camera and use it. Megapixels are not as big,but it seemed like it took better pix. :shrug:
:D :p

Exactly. The megapixels dont do you any good if the picture isnt sharp. :p

[General Zod]

Exactly. The megapixels dont do you any good if the picture isnt sharp. :p
Yeah. :) I use photoscape when I edit my pix.It helps some. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Yeah. :) I use photoscape when I edit my pix.It helps some. :D :p

There are a lot of plugins too to improve picture quality. Even a fair number of standalone programs too.

:D :p

[General Zod]

No camera will improve how my models look when finished. :p

[kurchatovium]

No camera will improve how my models look when finished. :p

They already look fantastic so they should not need embellishing. :)

It's easier to be polite and not silly or pushy in an email because you have time to reread your message. It's wonderful that she answered. :D :p

[kurchatovium]

Yea I dont think it was that definite of a meeting type thing. So I did not reply with any dates. :(

I guess Kodak was doomed when they didn't get into the digital photography services market quickly enough.

That was part of the problem. Another part was having to pay almost a quarter of billion dollars every year in pensions.

American Airlines

Sears

Yahoo

they are on the chopping block too. :shake:

As I just mentioned. American Airlines, Yahoo, and Sears are not doing well either. :(

[milagros317]

Yup. You are right.

As I just mentioned. American Airlines, Yahoo, and Sears are not doing well either. :(
Not surprised about AA and Sears. AA gives rotten service as do most airlines these days. Sears stuck to its brick-and-mortar stores too long. But Yahoo should be doing better. Oh well.

:D :p

[General Zod]

None was bigger than General Motors in its glory days, when they used to say, "What's good for General Motors is good for the USA." Those days are long gone. The old GM stockholders and bondholders have been looted and the remnant turned over to the UAW and other parasites. :eek:

True. You may as well change General Motors name to Government Motors. Only thing keeping them afloat, Of course if GM wasnt unionized you think Obama would have bailed them out? ;) :p

Yea I agree as well. Amazing how that works. :p Ironically since Obama might not approve the Pipeline project expected to create 20,000 union jobs in order to appease enviromentalists, his union support may not be so big as he thinks. :D

Jimmy Hoffa is in Al Capone's vault at Al's house. :p
