Everybody working in a certain level of restaurant has experienced the frustration that accompanies a guest sending back a pricey bottle of wine, insisting that it's faulted in some way. This is unfortunate for restaurant owners and sommeliers as well, who simply have to deal with losing money on a bottle that they're unable to sell, and the loss has to simply be absorbed by the restaurant's budget.
On the other hand, sometimes guests send back wines that are not only perfectly fine, but are showing very well- such as this smashing Brunello, a wonderful example of its ilk- insisting that something isn't correct. Perhaps the wine just isn't what they are expecting, or what they're accustomed to. It's also all too common that the tertiary aromas and nuances of aged wine are mistaken for faults by inexperienced drinkers. In this case, the result is the same; the sommelier is left with a bottle of wine that they're unable to sell.
Of course, since in this case the staff may as well enjoy it, this isn't always the worst case.

Vineyard tour on our way out of Canada
(Source: ricedot)
I've been unfortunately too busy to enjoy wine on my own time, and tasting opportunities have been few and far between. The casual summertime tasting I've been doing is mostly of things not really worth sharing, either; I've been sticking to easy, refreshing white wines and beer. The other day, though, presented me with a rare and incredibly exciting tasting opportunity:
While these were both consumed far too young, they were both incredibly interesting.
The Grands Echezeaux was light, sleek and vine grained; on the nose it displayed just a touch of raspberry, sour cherry and cranberry fruit, supported by deep underlying notes of mineral, sweet tobacco, bay leaf, and a fine minerality. On the palate, concentration is immediately evident. Fine grained tannins and sharp, focused acidity support sour cherry and earthy, compost-like flavours, with earthy, mineral character beneath. Oak is present and not quite integrated in this wine's youth, but still manages to be balanced. Impressive length to the finish, as well. It can be difficult to make wines that are as light in body and taut as this one is, but still manage to come across as concentrated complete, and that is the most impressive thing about this wine.
The Echezeaux, while still being quite closed, showed almost no fruit on the nose, perhaps just a suggestion of ripe cranberry, and crab apple. An opulent exoticism dominates here, with a complex bouquet of nutmeg, cardamom, vanilla, toasted nuts and rose petals being displayed. On the palate this is the larger of the two wines, but still not immensely full bodied. Fruit is not quite in full showing, with tart cranberry and raspberry notes playing off of flavours of oak, cardamom, grilled nuts and baking spices. Still tight as a drum, but concentration is again here, contrasting to the wine's lightness. Tannins are present but well integrated, and the finish is very long. This has a long way to go, as well.
These two wines both came across as examples of elegant and understated winemaking. Despite their youth, and although 2007 is generally not considered the finest vintage for red Burgundies, I once read somewhere that the wines of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti act as the yardstick for vintages in Burgundy, expressing both the character of the vintage and the potential for fine winemaking that it has, and after having tasted these two, I understand that statement much better.

The Occupy D.C. movement continues to hold court in Washington's Freedom Plaza. But now it has some company. The Occupy Occupy D.C. effort is a product of the National Center for Public Policy Research.
So far the counter protest has held detailed demonstrations on the toxic threat of mercury inside the new light bulbs being pushed by the federal government and the deadly toll that wind farms are having on birds and bats.
"Absolute madness that we have, through taxpayer subsides, made an industry possible that produces only about three and a half percent of our electricity but which does so at an enormous cost to wildlife."
Bonner Cohen of the National Center for Public Policy Research explains the facts behind both presentations.

|Well-balanced schemes using elementary solutions for linear models of the Boltzmann equation in one space dimension
|Laurent Gosse1
|In the kinetic theory of gases, a class of one-dimensional problems can be distinguished for which transverse momentum and heat transfer effects decouple. This feature is revealed by projecting the linearized Boltzmann model onto properly chosen directions (which were originally discovered by Cercignani in the sixties) in a Hilbert space. The shear flow effects follow a scalar integro-differential equation whereas the heat transfer is described by a $2 \times 2$ coupled system. This simplification allows to set up the well-balanced method, involving non-conservative products regularized by solutions of the stationary equations, in order to produce numerical schemes which do stabilize in large times and deliver accurate approximations at numerical steady-state. Boundary-value problems for the stationary equations are solved by the technique of ''elementary solutions" at the continuous level and by means of the ''analytical discrete ordinates" method at the numerical one. Practically, a comparison with a standard time-splitting method is displayed for a Couette flow by inspecting the shear stress which must be a constant at steady-state. Other test-cases are treated, like heat transfer between two unequally heated walls and also the propagation of a sound disturbance in a gas at rest. Other numerical experiments deal with the behavior of these kinetic models when the Knudsen number becomes small. In particular, a test-case involving a computational domain containing both rarefied and fluid regions characterized by mean free paths of different magnitudes is presented: stabilization onto a physically correct steady-state free from spurious oscillations is observed.

Perhaps you can explain why there was a slight reduction to the Shadow Priest nerfs after all those riots.
What he and I meant to say is that it's dissapointing that people can get what they want just by QQing and making suicide or account cancellation threats. It goes to show that those who whine like that are spoiled children, and Blizz is the parent who gives in to such immature behavior.
And would you have any explaination as to why reasonable arguements don't get as much attention in comparison?

REDWOOD SHORES, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 01/09/13 -- Oracle (NASDAQ: ORCL)
News Facts
•The American Red Cross has implemented Oracle's ATG Web Commerce solutions, components of Oracle Commerce, to improve personalization and drive donations in support of its humanitarian services and programs through an improved customer experience on redcross.org. •Red Cross deployed ATG Web Commerce to replace several hundred local Web sites with a single, standardized site that provides a better customer experience, reduces overall expenses and at the same time allows regional organizations to shape information and address local needs.
Delivering During a Crisis
•In the days following Hurricane Sandy, Red Cross relied heavily on its new Web site so people could get regional updates, find local shelters, donate money and volunteer for disaster relief efforts. •During the Hurricane Sandy telethon on NBC, the Red Cross site handled peak volumes of more than 500,000 page requests per minute, 75,000 concurrent credit card users, and 22 financial transactions per second with 100 percent uptime. •The ATG Web Commerce platform enables Red Cross to deliver information based on a visitor's location, so the organization was able to target content. That means that people in affected areas saw shelter and services updates while those coming to the site from outside the Sandy-impacted area could quickly find ways to volunteer, give blood, or make financial donations.
Helping to Mobilize the Power of Volunteers and Donors
•Volunteers and donors engage with the Red Cross in many different ways; the new site provides patrons with a consolidated view of their involvement, including volunteer work, monetary contributions, blood donations, online CPR courses and merchandise purchases. •The charitable organization -- which responds to roughly 70,000 disasters per year, helping millions of people in need -- uses ATG Web Commerce On Demand to contain costs while having the infrastructure required to handle extreme increases in traffic during domestic and international disasters. •Red Cross also uses ATG Web Commerce Service Center to make it easier to relay vital information gathered locally during disasters and respond faster to volunteer and donor inquiries. •Empathy Lab and McFadyen Consulting Group, both Gold level partners in Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN), worked with Red Cross on the new Web site.
Supporting Quotes
•"We used Oracle's ATG Web Commerce personalization and content targeting capabilities during our Sandy response to update and make changes hourly, to keep people informed and make it easier for them to get help and know how to help," said Craig Oldham, Vice President of Marketing, Digital Engagement, American Red Cross. "Bringing all of the touchpoints onto a single platform makes it possible for us to offer users a personalized, consistent experience while reducing overall costs. We are using ATG Web Commerce to streamline how we engage and interact with donors, volunteers, course-takers and supporters." •"Oracle's ATG Web Commerce has enabled us to standardize and simplify e-commerce operations, improve security and compliance, handle a disaster-related surge in activity, and provide new and better ways to connect with and to serve individuals and communities," said Suzanne Hall, Vice President of Information Technology, Multi Channel Commerce and Security, American Red Cross. •"By standardizing on Oracle's ATG Web Commerce, the American Red Cross is equipping its teams to connect more effectively and efficiently with key audiences while making it easier for people to get involved," said Mike Webster, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Oracle Retail. "When you centralize commerce operations and deploy the right tools, you also improve the ability to make the end user's experience more personally relevant, satisfying and productive."

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
This school is nothing but great. The teachers really care for the childrens education. They have great lesson plans that keep the children learning and growing at a fast speed. Wonderful School for your child to attend. Also the area is nice and peaceful.
I had mixed emotions about this school with neighbors saying it was a bad school. In the contrary its not at all that. The school has great teachers that are dedicated to there jobs. Among the teachers is Mr. Alcorn who won the Teacher of the year award!. PTA fluctuates when different board members are in but this year it looks great! School night events are packed and I see that parents give a lot to the school needs (supplies and event items). Wish more kids came to the school so that our teachers wouldn't have to be forced to leave (they really are great teachers and we have to loose them due to attendance as well. :( Its a shame how people perception from the outside is and they don't take the time to look at the school from the inside. its a beautiful school and always clean!!
My son started going to Lee since kinder and has now just graduated this year. All his teachers have been excellent & making sure the child achieves their best. Which has shown on his report card, he scored Advanced. Thank you and shot out to Mrs. Hicks!!!
This is a good school. My son has developed a lot of people skills. The staff is very caring.
My son just started the first grade, and the skills that he has learned at the kindergarten helped him tremendously. I'm excited to know that he is in a caring environment and that the education he is obtaining is superb.
I do not feel that this school has adequate resources or does things in a timely manner, when it comes to children with special needs. I think things are biased at times.
My daughter is a kindergarten student in Ms. Mai's class and loves going to school every day. Ms. Mai is fun and energetic and seems to sincerely care about the progress and well-being of her students. I love watching the students wait 'in line' every morning, and how excited they are to start the day.
My son just graduated from Lee and it has been a great experience. I only wish Ms. Boone and Ms. Mehan had arrived earlier. They are a great principal/vice principal team supervising an inspiring group of teachers.
It is my daughters first year at Lee, and her Kindergarten teacher Ms.Mai is awesome. My daughter has shown significant improvement in her writing and reading skills. The new principal Mrs. Boone is a principal that cares and shows it in every aspect.
My two children attend Lee Elementary since kindergarden. There have been a lot of positive changes at this school recently. The addition of our new principal has made school life much joyful and productive. She brings excellent experience that empowers teachers to love their profession. This positive attitude has my children hooked on learning and being part of reaching all high expectation. They see and understand their achievements are attainable thanks to the care and instruction of their wonderful teachers. I spend at couple of hours in the classroom and school at least 3 times a week and I can't remember seeing so many children behave so well, pay attention, and love their teachers, like I see it at Robert E. Lee Elementary. My baby preschooler will atttend this school.

Union-Busting Is As Easy As ABC (the Associated Builders and Contractors)
In American labor history, the Associated Builders and Contractors—well-known in the building trades as just ABC but little-known elsewhere—played a key role in unleashing the anti-union juggernaut of the past half century. And a new report by Thomas J. Kriger, a labor studies professor at the National Labor College, provides an informative look at just what … Read more

I had a brilliant start to the day. Inspiring to say the very least. So most people in my field would know that NIFT has a Cluster programme wherein students are sent to villages to work on different art/crafts of India and come back with an interesting documentation on it.
This year, the students of NIFT FC were sent to Rajasthan and the groups worked on - Block Printing, Phad Painting, Miniature Art, and Blue Pottery.
Once more, I realized that behind all those beautifully crafted products laid hidden a story, waiting to be told, and a lot of hard work and talent, still waiting to be recognized. And once more, I was inspired.
The students of this FC batch, had a unique way of thinking - young, yet rooted in tradition, and more than anything, it just reflected the fun they had in exploring these art and craft forms.
So I'm going to begin with the first group. Cheent—-Block printing craft of Rajasthan.
This group delivered an experience instead of just information. Right from 'stamping' us on the side of the hand, to the introduction of Mr. Block-Man, it was an engaging presentation. We got to drink Lassi from Kulhars, covered with printed tissues, stamp our own little cards, postcards, bookmarks, and what not - now that's what you call Branding. Well, they even had an ad for their little brand. :)
The next group, who worked on Blue Pottery too, had some exciting ideas. They told a story about the origin of the craft and traced it to its present condition, simply through illustrations (if you've read Persepolis, you'd know what I'm speaking of). What I found most exciting about this group was the creation of a temporary bioscope. Bioscopes are popular instruments in Rajasthan (especially Jaipur) which allow you to view a showreel in a box. This group, simply kept a laptop within a carton box, such that what you saw, was the craft process.
The other groups dealt with Phad and Miniature paintings, made the presentation very interactive - with info cards, short films, board-games, storybooks..
What I sincerely hope for is this research and students' hard work to bear fruit. It must not stop here. I am told this exhibit will travel - and I am excited for it.
There definitely is a need for more interventions of this sort; and organizations such as mine, Dastakar and other craft bodies, need to wake up to this!
Too bad I didn't take pictures - but someone did, and I will remember to put them up here! For now, this is what I brought back, along with all the cheer.
I am grateful to Renee, Dimple Ma'am, and Anupreet for having me over as a part of the jury. Made my day.

The REAL game breaker is that once you're on the Skybreaker, they go on about how we need to go at full speed to catch Deathwing before he gets away. Then, right on queue, our good buddy Warmaster Blackhorn and his friends proceed to pewpew the engines... Now, one would thing damaged engines would not work so well (or at all), and with everyone then focusing on making sure Blackhorn doesn't cause the airship to EXPLODE, one would think Deathwing would have ample opportunity to get a nice lead ahead of the airship. Yet, once Blackhorn is killed, everyone is simply able to jump out the bottom of the airship and right onto Deathwing's back. What'd he do? Say "Gee, with this plate on my back missing, I might get a sunburn! I better keep that airship above me to protect me from the sun's harmful rays"?

When you hear the spec of the Derbi GP1 250 Racing scooter it's easier to think of a proper motorcycle rather than a funky-looking twist-and-go scooter. It's got radial brakes, earlier versions had a single rear shock and it even has a twin-spar aluminium chassis too. This is about as cool-looking as it gets in the 250cc scooter market.

Kawasaki's KR-1S was the quickest mass-produced, 250 two-stroke ever (139mph being recorded in a 1990 speed test), being quicker than both Suzuki's RGV and even Aprilia's later (but RGV-powered) RS250. On the downside it came with slightly questionable reliability and handling that could tank slap you into casualty. Dangerous, but hugely addictive.

The Aprilia SportCity Cube is a totally restyled version of the Sportcity 250ie chassis fitted with a bored and stroked Piaggio Quasar engine, taking it to 278cc.

Do you need a full-frame digital SLR?
Many semi-pro and professional photographers are strategizing their SLR buying purchases – or putting them off altogether – as they wait for the price of full-frame SLRs to fall. But are the prices of full frame SLRs going to fall? Some of Canon's recent offerings cast some doubt on this assumption.
Though Moore's law has been driving the digital camera market so far, Canon appears to be re-shaping the breakdown of the market into something a little different from what we've seen so far. For the full argument, check out my article at CreativePro.

I think about this from a different angle. I wonder how long it will take until the smaller sensors exceed the quality of current full-frame offerings, and the smaller ones will be viewed as 35mm film replacements, and 24×36 considered 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 replacements
Yes, I think this is a very good point. Right now, 35mm size is being seen as some sort of objective arbiter of quality and it's not, necessarily. What you're describing is a time when people will judge the merits of a particular sensor size because of the quality it can produce. It seems like we're already close to having APS-sized sensors being equivalent to 35mm and full frame being real close to 2.25, so you may not have long to wait.
Something else I didn't mention in that article: not all 35mm lenses (few, actually) are optimized for digital sensors. Film is much more forgiving of chromatic aberrations at the edges of the frame than is a digital sensor. Since the sensors in each photosite on an imaging chip sit at the bottom of a well, the edges of the sensor are prone to bad CA. (This is one reason there is some merit to Olympus' claim that you need lenses and sensors engineered for each other.) I'm in no way trying to say that this fact means that full-frame sensors are a drag, but that full-frame sensors have their own issues and compromises.
One point almost everyone seems to be missing on this issue is depth of field. Depth of field gets shallower as the size of the film plane increases – for rather obvious reasons – and a 35mm DOF is what makes a big part of the difference in the feel of a digital camera
I agree with the last comment. I, too, am not necessarily looking for a pixel to pixel competitor; there are other benefits of a larger-format camera, digital or otherwise. Whether it is field of view, depth of field, or viewfinder size/personal preference and useability.
The last poster seems a bit confused on several issues:
"there are other benefits of a larger-format camera, digital or otherwise. Whether it is field of view, depth of field, or viewfinder size/personal preference and useability."
1. field of view is detmined mostly by the lens, not the camera
2. depth of field DECREASES with a larger film plane. (also pointed out by post #4)
3. viewfinder size is not a function chip size but camera design, in fact there are sony's with very small chips that have 3″ finders/view screens
4. personal preference and usability are again functions of the camera design
not the size of the imaging chip
It is unclear what this poster considers "benefits".
For someone seriously considering Photography as a career or consider photography to be a serious hobby, you have to look at the long term investment you are making and I would think Full-Frame sensors would be a preference, for myself mainly because of the conversion if you go APS-C, like on Canon's between 1.3 and 1.6x. I hate dealing with 35mm equivalents and would never buy a lens "made just for dslr using aps-c" lenses because they won't work on a full-frame camera later. Not that there aren't really good APS-C cameras out there, even I have taken pictures with them and have been fully satisfied but…think long term, versatility, better resale value, etc.
In reply to poster #6: Actually poster #5 is right. Keep in mind that we're talking here about SLR camera's. Since the size of the sensor determines what part of the image is recorded, the bigger sensors have a much wider view (hence the 35mm recalculations for the smaller sensors). Also the viewfinder is smaller due to this same phenomenon (cutting out the otherwise wider view).
The greatest benefit of using a full frame sensor is that a wide-angle lens also works as a wide-angle lens. Adding the better depth of field (and a decrease in dof is better, mind you), the benefits are clear, I guess.
APS-C sensors already are up to 12-13 megapixels. How much more can be squeezed on?
There must be a limit I reckon.
Considering wavelength limit, you could squeeze on about 400 megapixels, with excelent optics 100 megapixels might be achieavable, but taking in account noise and pricey optics needed practical limit seems to be around 25 megapixels for APS-C. Make that 64 megapixels for full frame
Whilst full frame offers a wider field of view etc I think the real issue is of the number of mega pixels on the sensor. Currently, this number is increasing at a phenomenal rate and currently far exceeds that of visual display equipment such as monitors, projectors and high definition TV.
Surely theremust be a limit on this number beyond which the human eye will not discern any difference in resolution or picture quality (for a perfect optical system, say).
Have we reached this point with 12.8 or 16 megapixels and, if not, when will we? I'm holding off buying a DSLR because it will be obsolete in 12 – 18 months time at with the current trend.
To philosopher:
There is a reason why people still use large format cameras. Large amount of details for large prints. There's also DOF and lens movement.
For a more modern aproach take a look at:
If you take my limit of 64mp for a full frame 35mm digital camera you can print at 300DPI up to 30″x20″. Not good enough.
Here are the reasons why you can't replace the film yet:
For normal use and small prints, my opinion is only the cheapest of cameras marketed today will be obsolete at all, the rest are simply good enough.
"I wonder how long it will take until the smaller sensors exceed the quality of current full-frame offerings"
That will NEVER EVER happen!!! For a very simple fundamental reason. At same resolution bigger sensors will have bigger pixels therefore it will ALWAYS have better noise performance. Really it is physical impossibility for smaller sensors to out perform bigger ones given that technology is pushed to its limits in both cases. The same way 35mm can never ever out perform medium format. Ken Rockwell is an absolute idiot of dismissing Full Frame. Really DX sensors born out of cost nessecity and canon switched as soon as it was cost effective to produce full frame where as Nikon is very stupid not to have came out with a Full Frame (and I am a Nikon user). Why would any pros will wanna settle with second best DX format when they can have Full Frame.
Noise on APS-C sensors is superior to that of 35mm film, and even when megapixels reach 20-30megs noise it will still be better and image quality without a doubt better than film. Some say it's been done already. So, you don't *need* full frame to replace *35mm film*. For smaller prints, let alone internet use, there's simply no real justification to invest in full frame, it's a waste of money, for now. Even equivalent lenses are cheaper, lighter etc. especialy in telephoto range.
Full frame sensors may indeed replace *medium format* and that's way beyond what 35mm film was used for. It's medium format you should compare it to not 35mm.
That's my reasoning.
But I agree with you, there's nothing wrong with a full frame camera like this
Today's lens technology will not support higher resolution cameras 20+ meg without first redesigning the lenses. This may not be practical. In other words, our current lenses would not be able be used on these extremely high resolution cameras. Would any of us want to buy a complete new set of lenses to be able to use these new cameras? These lenses would also be considerably more expressive than our current versions.
This is the main reason why the rumor of a 22meg Canon has not come true at this time.
Anolog Rules digital imaging is a farse. "Noise" don't you mean lack of detail and general nastiness in the shadows .
My Kodak DCS SLR/n is rubbish, well I say that, but it is really good for Black and White.
The Chromatic Aberations that the sensor causes is really bad and I'm not surprised that Kodak deleted it soon after it came out. until I see good detail in the shadows and no Chromatic Aberations causing nasty magenta casts. I will not be purchasing a another digital SLR camera.
I have used Nikon for years and like many I have horded my len collection for the day when there was a full frame camera to take them, I feel that Nikon have become very cynical in their old age. And will most likely bring out a D3 series full frame camera once we've all bought a D2X? Also last but not least I have a collection of Nikkor Wide including PC 35 and PC 28
and I don't want them chaged to telephoto by an under size sensor,
A point i did nto see here… the reason i want a full fram digital si to not have a 1.6X on my lens! If i choose a 17mm lens i want a 17mm lens not a 27mm lens.
i dont care about being above 6 0r 8 MP as much as i care about my lens length.
I am with you on that point, my business is virtual tours houses cars etc, I currently have an Olympus e330, with an Olympus 8mm fisheye which is fine. However the fisheye pictures need processing through software, to remove the barrel l distortion.
In an effort to reduce work flow am I correct in assuming that a full frame DSLR like Canon 5d will give me a very wide image using their 10mm lens and therefore reduce my workflow, because I would not need to process the image through software?
Sean, what do you mean you have 1.6x on your lens, and think 35mm format is somehow ideal so you have to compare to it?
17mm is 17mm. Why would you ever choose to buy 17mm when it's realy 11mm you want? You can get equivalents for most focal lengths, the only real differences are a bit more noise due to smaller sensors, less DOF and cheaper lenses.
Femi, no you're wrong, you won't be able to use the 10mm (10-22) on 5d, it works only on APS-C sensors. Why don't you get an olympus 7-14? It's equivalent to 14-28 on full frame, you can't get wider zoom than that.
OK, I guess I am a bit confused by all of this. Looking at a photo is not the same a seeing something live in front of you; you lose stereoscopic vision, motion, etc. that motivate focus on your subject. So you need every bit of help you can get to focus your audience's attention.
Blurring distracting backgrounds (and foregrounds) is a very powerful tool to use for this purpose in photography. One of the major reasons I bought a DSLR rather than a small-sensor point and shoot camera was to have the ability to do this.
With the 1.5 crop factor sensor size, however, even with dedicated digital-only lenses I need to buy optics one stop faster to achieve the same DOF control. One stop is expensive! And perhaps not possible in some cases.
So of course, if the price of the larger sensor were to become more favorable, full frame cameras would be preferable, for me at least.
the bigger the better
i had the nikon d 100 with two good zoom optics 2.8 and i extended it with an sigma lense for wide angle fotography. i had always problems with noise, cause i used in available light situations. then after 3 years of use i thought switching to the d200 and another wide angle solution – i tested it – the result was high resolution noise.
so i ordered a canon d5 with 2 L-lenses – and now im really happy
the pictures "standing" al lot better – with just a little noise.
i use photoshop cs2 raw vonvertion (tested also aperture)
a 4×5 inch camera will always be better than a 6×6 hasselblad – and a hassi will always be better than a slr…. size counts
I am new to DSLR's, but I dove into the hobby after College because I love hiking and wildlife. With my 1.6 FOVCP I can easily shoot wide landscapes at 18mm (roughly 29mm converted) and can still choose wider lenses, however, I like the 1.6 because I can spend $700 to $1000 on a very nice 300mm lens and get 480mm super telephoto range for wildlife without spending three to four times as much. I am not good enough to notice anything all that "wrong" with my corners or sharpness, and I consider I am not being published in National Geographic. I understand the need for full frame, but for amateurs like me who shoot telephoto most of the time, the 1.6 FOVCP is what got me to buy a DSLR in the first place.
Chad, keep in mind that if/once the resolution is good enough, you can use a full frame to create 1.6 images (by cropping and enlarging), but you cannot go vice versa! (You can only crop to simulate longer lenses, you can't do anything after the image is taken to simulate a wider lens!) And therein's my problem with 1.6 (after having used film for decades), I lose (the width of) the ultra wide lenses that I've invested the most in, and get nothing that I couldn't get by software cropping (to 1.6) on a full frame (if a good-enough Nikon-compatible full frame SLR existed).
This trick of shooting with the longest (high quality) lens you have and cropping to simulate an even longer one has been used in the pre-digital (film) world for ages. It doesn't require 1.6 in the camera, it just requires enough "spare" resoultion (in both the lens and the film or sensor) so that you don't get noticeable "side effects" from cropping.
Smaller is often better. That's why 35mm film took so much of the market away from the larger formats that were in common use. I often get what I consider to be better images from my 35mm Nikons or 1.6 frame digital then I do from my medium format cameras. First of all, They are so much lighter and easier to use! And I'm not just talking about the bodies. As the sensor or film size shrinks, the lens can get dramatically smaller, lighter, cheaper, and easier to handle. Also, the smaller format lenses are much faster for a given size, weight and cost. Mechanical vibrations are less in the smaller format cameras. For some, the relatively large depth of field of the smaller sensor is a downside. But for others it is wonderful.
Lots of people have a considerable investment, both monetarily and emotionally, in their 35mm lenses. It can feel very wasteful to have the whole lens and not get the full frame. But in the long run, that may be more of an argument for more smaller lenses that are not designed to be full frame on 35mm.
And the idea that one can always shoot in a larger format and then crop to get the equivalent of the smaller format's depth of field and/image magnificatioin misses some points. The pixel density of the best smaller format sensors tends to be higher then the new full frame ones. Also, a lens designed for a small format is likely to have better technical specs then a large format one at a similar or often even at a greater price range. Medium and large format film lenses often don't have phenomenal tech specs. They produce big gorgeous prints because of the film size. They have their purpose and their place.
Right now, with the quality of digital being what it is, I would rather have smaller lighter faster glass for most of what I do. If I were doing a lot of wide shooting, I would be frustrated right now. But how about some smaller format digital sensors for that are designed to be closer to the back of the lens – sensors that are concave to avoid some of the optical problems of trying to spread a wide angle image onto a digital sensor. After all, if we give up the idea of digital / film lens compatibility, a lot of things are possible.
For me it boils down to one thing.
For a photographer you simply dont have a choice in the matter.
You must have a full range of lens capabilities.
Who says any photographer must be constrained to one format or one technology. Use the format or technology that gives you the best results for what you are trying to achieve. For me that's small formats film or digital, for telephoto work and larger formats with the ability to alter the film plane to the lens axis for wide angle work. Besides, its more economical than buying one extremly expensive new camera system that promises to do it all but can't.
I am a photographer who specializes in wideangle and low light imaging. I am absolutely delighted Nikon are going full frame! Now I can save up, buy a Nikon full frame digital body, and resurrect my wonderful Nikkor 28mm f1.4 lens which should now act as a proper wide again, not a sawn off standard lens as it did under APS-C.
The full frame or APS-C argument seems to me to boil down to one thing, if you are a telephoto photographer APS-C is great, if you are a wide angle photographer APS-C is a disaster.
Now Nikon are giving us the choice, or at least they will if they ultimately release a mid-price full frame body like the Canon 5D.
Am I wrong to assume the published argument that aps sensors packing large numbers of photo sensors onto a smaller size are inherently noisier than an equal resolution 35mm sensor. Would that not be why most manufacturers make the pro cameras with such a frame size.
Manufacturers are milking the market for all they can, so it stands to reason that they will hold off for as long as possible before making full frame cams more affordable to such as me. I have a canon 350d and will not upgrade this camera until a more affordable full frame sensor comes available. All technical arguments aside, (and knowing photographers there will be some) I will not buy Di lenses as they are of no use to anyone going to full size sensors. I always advise friends asking to refrain from doing so as well.
I am sure canon and others will (by necessity) produce larger sensor cameras to keep the market going as time goes on. If we refrain from jumping on the bandwagon and saving our money, this will happen sooner than later.
Don't know about anyone else, but I have emailed the site owners about the crappy references to porn that are above my post. Hopefully it will be policed better and such references removed so that our discussions can remain on the main subjects.
Impressively fast response within an hour from admin of site. Explanation of problem was ok, but a shame something like this site is targeted for this crap. Full marks to owner anyway.
A lot of confusion here. I believe these are the facts: (1) 35mm is an arbitrary size based on movie film. Optical geometry of a camera is determined by focal length and aperture of the lens together with image size, so the idea that a 1.6 ratio is"bad" is wrong. Its just a number. A 50mm lens has always been "wider angle" on a larger format camera by some ratio over a 35mm. (2) Perfect lenses project images of any point of light as an "airy disk" that looks like a bulls-eye, and is bigger for smaller apertures, Packing 100 pixels into a spot the size of a camera/lens combo's Airy disk, or in other words, a sensor with more resolution than the optics driving it are of no use.
Well, well, well, the arguments go on. There has been some valuable points made here so far, that is for sure.
I use four cameras, one for each type of result I want. I have had Olympus, Nikon, Canon, and several others if yo include film. And many different lenses, including the latest so called super zooms / do it all touted lenses.
I have, by experience, found out that there is not one do – it – all camera body or one do – it – all lens. I use a Canon 5d for stills, landscape, portraits, etc.. and a 40d for sports and birding, a Minolta for underwater, and a Nikon L16 for my pocket. I also have an Olympus system. All my canon lenses are Ls except for the 50mm 1.4.
There is one thing for sure as far as my Canon 5d vs the 40d. The 5d is a full frame and has bigger pixels, less noise at the same ISOs, but it is not for most sports at only 3 per second. The 5d does better in available light, low light than the 40d. So argue on your cases but as you do I trust they will be from your own personal experience / and or tests / of using different lenses and cameras for yourself. I had a Nikon D200 w/18-200mm vr lens, but sold it and switched to Canon after borrowing a Canon 40d and a 24-105 L is/usm lens and compared the IQ and features.
The newer cmos processor just did a better job and with 14 bit ad conversion made it better for me than the Nikon. Now the Nikon has the 300 and the 700 and the d3x and switched to CMOS sensors (wonder why) so it goes on and on. Like someone said, in 18 months or less, there will be another new and improved model. Whatcha going to do?
What seems to be overlooked is the magnification required to make a print from a smaller image size – I have mostly shot 4X5 for the past 30 years and prefer larger format due to their superior ability to store information. an 8X10 from 4×5 is only a 2X magnification. an 8X10 from 35mm is an 8X magnification. an 8X10 from a Canon TSi – 22.2 X14.8 is a 14X magnification.
Having specialized in photomurals up to 4′X8′ I understand that it not just the quality of recorded information, it is also the degree of magnification in final usage that must be considered.
I really am getting tired of the attitude of camera manufactures at this point. They talk about glass and lens design. They go on and on about the quality of the barrels the glass is in…
This is the year 2010. Most people have more than enough computer sitting in the living room to design a lens with. The glass doesn't cost more than a few bucks to produce and the barrels are made of crap metal and plastic. If you want over a thousand dollars for a lens, it should have a carbon fiber frame, modular electronics and be user repairable.
Paying thousands of dollars for plastic cameras should be a crime in this day and age. In the 60s and 70s Nikon and Canon sold handmade, nearly indestructible pieces of art for the same amount of cash that today they are charging for junk that is obsolete the day they put it on the shelf for us to buy.
Full frame cameras allow lenses to be used as they were designed to do decades ago . Selling lines of lenses that cover the equivalent of 110 film should make you ask what happened to 110 format.
Most interesting discussions by everyone. I am newby to digital stuff. I do have a little Coanon Powershot for everyday use. Have used an Olympus OM-2 for most of my life, best ever viewfinder in the business. If they would just put a full frame digital back on it …….
Question I have is I also use a Questar telescope for long range wildlife shots. Works ok with the OM-2 but I would like a digital SLR. With that narrow field, I probably wouldn't need a full frame for sure but I need a fast shutter and a good image sensor..any recommendations? Many thanks
The problem has nothing to do with pixels – totally irrelevant. Its all about lens field of view. I loved the 24mm lens on my 35mm film SLR. I see its the equivalent to approx 15mm in the newer format DSLR's – and a 15mm lens is an arm & a leg.
What if I wanted something a Tad wider again ?
A good photo is a good photo, even if its a bit blurred after extreme print sizes. A naff picture is still a naff picture even if its super sharp !
Well, on the trailing end of this seven year discussion, I'd like to say the following:
If you're a starving artist with a small budget versus large passion: work with what you've got. A photographer with a level of skill and awareness can achieve amazing results using supposedly mediocre tools.
ISO, DOF, Better quality at wide angle, much better image quality (detail). these are the full frame advantage. i have both crop sensor and full frame. full frame always out class. check dxo mark for that. even best dx camera d7000 does not exceed in ISO then old 5D. 5D (2006 made) can take photo with non noticeable noise on ISO 1300 but d7000 gets noisy at 1000. if you compare d7000 with d700 then d700 is good on even 2000 ISO and compare it with d3s then forget about comparison d3s can go upto 3200 without a clue of noise. DOF is optical physics fact so no need to talk about it. also less distortion on wide angle and after all these advantages image quality will surely be better.
A fascinatimg discussion.
I was looking for advice on buying a full frame camera but most of you have different ideas about what is best so now I am more confused.
I'm retired so I take photo's for fun & memories.
I have had a wide range of Fuji cameras & now I am trying a Nikon Coolpix P500 which is good but there are times when I would like a longer lens than the 36x zoom.
The last wedding I shot I had to use 2 cameras – D90 an a 5D Mark II
What was supposed to be a battle of the cameras slowly became a humbling experience for me discovering what each of the cameras was good at.
Let's stay on the topic. Full frame and APS-C cameras have been out there for long enough and have strong pedigree. I think that if you have a great idea and you know how to set up photo equipment (camera included) there should be no difference to you whether it's a full frame or an APS-C camera.

-story by Lena Wallace '14
Gowan and students at Mechumps Creek
Randolph-Macon College Biology and
Environmental Studies Professor Chas. Gowan is looking forward to another
environmental studies mission. Students from R-MC will soon have the opportunity
to participate with students and faculty from Virginia Commonwealth University,
Washington and Lee University and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in a collaborative
James River water-quality program.
About the Project
According to "From the Mountains to the Sea: A Proposal for an Innovative Water-Quality
Network in the James River, Virginia," R-MC students will work on the five-year
project to better understand how sub-watersheds in a large river ecosystem individually
and collectively affect water quality from the mountains to the sea. Additionally,
the project will raise awareness of water quality issues in the James River and
Chesapeake Bay. "There is no east coast synoptic water-quality network that links
mountain landscape to marine waters," explains Gowan. "This project will establish
such a network."
Teaching and Research
Gowan recently taught a First-Year Experience course (FYE),
Irreplaceable Resources : Recording our History, Mapping our Environment, with Archaeology Professor Elizabeth
Fisher. Projects included an archaeological excavation in Hanover County at an Antebellum
Plantation. Gowan says that students used Geographic Information System (GIS) technology
to locate and map hidden artifacts and slave quarters.
Throughout the academic school year, Gowan teaches Integrative Biology, Biostatistics,
Ichthyology, Freshwater Ecology and a series of Environmental Problem Solving classes.
In addition, he continues his research with fish—particularly trout.
"My work in Virginia has focused on how individual trout learn to recognize each
other, and how this learning affects how they interact when they compete for food
and space," says Gowan. "It turns out that trout are really smart." Gowan's recent
trout publications have caught the attention of The Psychology Progress
and The Journal of Fish Biology.
Restoration Project
In 2009, Gowan received a $115,000 grant from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation
(NFWF). The Town of Ashland supported his efforts with an additional $100,000 to
help restore Mechumps Creek located in Ashland, Virginia.
"The NFWF has been a consistent supporter of R-MC's efforts to restore and protect
our local watershed, allowing us to both help the environment and to train students
in state-of-the-art environmental techniques," says Gowan. The Mechumps Creek project
is ongoing. "An interpretive sign is about to be installed for the public," he explains.
The sign, titled "Mechumps Creek: An Environmental Success Story," explains how
parking lots, roads and roofs are harmful to creeks and how Mechumps Creek was restored
through this partnership. The sign was made possible by a grant from Wal-Mart.
In 2008, Gowan was awarded the Paul H. Wornom, M.D., Professorship in Biological
Sciences. He is the former director of the FYE program and served on the Committee
on Admissions, Credits, and Academic Status of Students. He now serves on the Curriculum
Committee and is chair of the biology department.
Gowan joined the faculty at Randolph-Macon College in 1996. He earned his B.S. from
the State University of New York, his M.S. from Michigan State University and his
Ph.D. from Colorado State University.
"One of the most rewarding experiences is working with students individually and
seeing them achieve their dreams—and then hearing about their accomplishments after
college," he says.

CXC Skiing just wrapped up the 10th Annual CXC/Birkie Junior Technique Camp at Telemark Resort in Cable, WI. The camp was attended by over 20 middle- and high-school skiers from Minnesota and Wisconsin. The technique intensive camp meant spending a lot of time on roller skis. Despite a variety of abilities, ranging from first time roller skiers to Junior Olympics participants, the skiers were able to break into small groups and focus on skills relative to their ability. Coaches for the camp included Olympian and CXC Junior Development Program Coach Igor Badamshin, CXC Team Vertical Limit Coach Bryan Fish, CXC Regional Development Coach Bill Pierce, CXC Events and Adaptive Program Director Scott Wilson, and CXC Team Vertical Limit/US Ski Team member Garrott Kuzzy. Each coach worked with the various groups, providing individual instruction for each athlete.
Mornings started with a jog to the top of Mt. Telemark and stretch overlooking beautiful Northwestern Wisconsin. Coach Fish led skiers through a series of coordination and agility drills, while Coach Badamshin worked on ski specific strength and balance using Russian bungee cords. "The agility course taught me some great drills to improve my power on skis,†commented Paul Schommer of Kimberly, WI.
After breakfast, skiers broke into groups to hone their ski technique through a variety of drills. While some skiers learned to balance on skis at high speeds doing the V2 hop skate, others focused on the perfect timing for their classic kick. Practically everyone took a spill at one point during the camp, but as Sam Egelhoff, who took arguably the most impressive dive during the week, put it: "I'm learning my limits and how far I can push myself. . .I love to ski fast!â€
Roller skis were not the only place the skiers were diving. Each workout ended with a dip in the pool at Telemark. The best dives, however, were at Lake Owen, where the group ended one of their workouts with a barbecue and some tubing on the lake. Tubing around the lake led to some big air and high speed splashes.
The final day of the camp wrapped up with some informal relay races, giving everyone the chance to show off what they had learned during the week. Coach Fish said, "It was great to see how much everyone improved this week. Now it's imperative that everyone continue to master these skills over the rest of the summer and fall so that these skills translate to skiing fast on snow this winter.â€

I am asked to prove and explain that this statement is False? $$\exists f(x): f(x)=f'(x)$$
But why would you want to prove it is false? It happens to be very true. To prove the existence of a function such that $f(x) = f'(x)$, all you need to do in your "proof" is to provide/name one such function $f(x)$ for which $f(x) = f'(x)$.
Consider $f(x) = Ce^x$ ${}{}{}{}{}{}{}$
$$f(x) = Ce^x\quad \text{and}\quad f'(x) = Ce^x$$
The statement is True. All we need to do to show this is to find one function that satisfies $f(x)=f'(x)$. The simplest such function is $f(x)=0$.
More generally, any function of the form $f(x)=Ce^x$, where $C$ is a real constant, satisfies $f(x)=f'(x)$. In fact, this is the only function for which this equality holds.
To see this, let $y=f(x)$ so that $\frac{dy}{dx} = f'(x)$. We have that,
$$ \begin{align} f(x) &= f'(x) \\ y &= \frac{dy}{dx} \\ \frac{dy}{y} &= dx \\ \int \frac{dy}{y} &= \int dx \\ \ln{y} &= x + c \\ e^{\ln{y}} &= e^{x+c} \\ y=e^{x+c} &= e^c e^x = Ce^x \end{align}$$
So $f(x)=y=Ce^x$.
It should be noted that $f(x) = 0$ is just the special case where $C = 0$ so that $$f(x) = 0 \cdot e^x = 0.$$
Also consider $$f\left( x \right) =0.$$
This is an answer to the question as it was before.
You can prove that that statement is false in many ways, but it requires using additional information about who is $f$. For example:
If we are looking at non-zero polynomials. We can show that $f=f'$ is false by looking at the degree. The derivative always decreases the degree of a non-zero polynomial.
More generally, if we are looking at a function that is meromorphic near a point, and has a zero or a pole of positive order, then we can show that $f=f'$ is false by looking at the order of that zero or pole. The derivative always is going to decrease the order of a zero of positive order, or increase the order of a pole of positive order.
If such a funciton $f(x)$ exists, then it satisfies the differential equaion
$$ \frac{df}{dx} = f(x). $$
Separating variables, we have
$$ \frac{df}{f} = dx. $$
$$ \ln\left| f \right| = x + C $$
$$ f(x) = e^{x+C} = Ae^x $$
for any $A \in \mathbb{R}$.

I thought they were joking. They reduced the exp required already... why do it again? I've leveled 2 characters through Northrend since Cata released and it doesn't take long at all already. Are we gonna be hitting Hyjal before we even finish Borean Tundra now :P
