Fine if you live somewhere with a good internet connection. At home I would consider cloud based services, I have a reliable 60mb connection. When I am at a friends house in the English countryside, where the interconnection is very slow about 1.5mb download and 100k upload, it would not be a viable way to work due to time taken to upload an image. Adobe how will you support CS users with slow internet connections?

Why bother with apple it is losing market share hand over foot, Android is the tablet OS of the future.

When will more companies realise there are more Android phones out there than iphones and therefore greater potential profits?

This is why I post very few to no pictures on line.
In future I will be watermarking my pictures so they can't be used on another site, ie pics on FB will be marked for use on FB profile only . Legally this will have not standing I realise, but FB won't want to use a pic watermarked this way.

The so called rules in photography are there as a guide and nothing more. Sometimes I use them, sometimes I don't.
As for learning composition, I'm not sure it is possible to truly learn it, you either have the eye for it or you don't. That being said there are lots of pro's who I don't believe have a natural sense of composition or what looks good, they have excellent technique and make up for lack of innate talent through dedicated following of rules or breaking them. The truly great photographers, instinctively know when a shot is great, us mere mortals, take a shot and hope our talent was enough to get the shot we imagined we were taking.

Why is it odd to have a serial number there? Seems sensible to me as it would be obvious if the number had been tampered with, therefore less likely to be stolen.

I see another media person has fallen under sway of apple. The Ipad is way over priced for what it is. You would be better buying light weight laptop with a powerful processor.

I must admit I am intrigued by this. Not as a photographer though. It is the possibilities for documenting normal every day life of millions of people, storing it and allowing historians in a 100 years access to it in much the same way Census data is released for research.

It probably won't have user a changeable battery or memory card.
Complete waste of time, just a gimmick.

If it is a good as the 8mm fisheye then they are onto a winner. I grew up with manual focusing lenses so it is not such a culture shock for me to use one. What I do miss is the focusing screen of yesteryears.
This lens and the tilt shift recently announced will definitely be on my christmas list.

Reckon they are releasing this so it is ready for when NASA go to Mars. They will probably be the only people who will be able to afford it.

Definitely worth considering as a compact carry everywhere camera. And despite what some of the uniformed comments posted previously good value for money.
