Thanks for the update Eric, OP Map is updated. Added "In transit FROM" and "In transit TO" on the map to get a better picture of where the camera is in the map while shipping.

It should be.. Raw files I mean

For those that know what "Raw" files are
..this camera will take "Raw"images .See pgs 31,98,99 of the manual.However the size of the Sd card is so small you wont fit very many images on it. My suggestion is use the best quality jpeg setting if you are unsure or unfamiliar. All the cameras setting are accessible thru a simplified menu so you can easily try both .

Here's a nice article on the difference between raw and jpeg files for those who are interested.

Lol, didn't mean to open a Raw can of worms But since it's open, anyone that wants to try their hand at RAW you also
need special software to handle the RAW files. FastStone is one of the free ones I have been using lately, but there are others
which are better, just can't remember the names and don't have them anymore.

Simplified, RAW has much more info and lets you do much more adjusting after the photo has been taken than a standard JPEG
It doesn't necessarily amount to a better picture though, and is not necessary for allot of shots. It shines best in shots where you have
an underexposed subject in the foreground with say a nice sunset in the background, or even just a nice sky. RAW will let you pull much
more light out of the shadows than a standard JPEG. There is definitely more potential for color manipulation too.

P.S. cool to know the option is there with this camera Al. If it comes my way I may throw a bit of a larger memory card in for it's future
travels. I have allot of cheaper class 10 16gb cards I never use.

Hahaha!

Lol... No problem..I fully expect everyone to play around with the camera as much as they want.

Manny thanks for the link on RAW.


Mee..

Im not sure if the camera can take those size cards...there was a firmware update for expanded use of SD cards but I dont remember if I ever did one. Easy enough to do if you want though. We will definetly get this camera out your way.

I kinda thought that may be the case Al. I have every size card under the sun, and pretty much only use 32gb plus these days as my camera is a memory *****, so I can update the fw if no one else does and gladly include whatever the largest possible card is.

I brought this guy home as a juvenile on 02/24/14:

Very nice Eric . The streamer on the first discus picture is pretty neat. Thank you for sharing and participating in the Journey

[Phillydubs]

Good afternoon all...

The camera has landed safely on my desk, unfortunately, I have been swamped all day, between staring at discus eggs and on the road for work, I have not even opened the box. My plan is to tackle it in the AM as I have a full evening ahead of me... I will crack it open in the morning and get to snappin!

I was going to take the approach of almost a day in the life... May bore the $h%^ out of some of you but I don't know what else to do, lol... I was going to take pictures of my shop, trucks, area's, etc as well as the discus of course! I wanted to post pics of my water changes and those things so people can get sort of a first hand feel of how I deal with them on the daily...

If any of you have other suggestions or recommendations, chime in, but as for now that is my plan!

Thanks
