archermoo Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 Re: Musings on Random Musings Then buy a new one. Naw, the newer Canon DSLR in my price range isn't enough of an improvement over my current (very nice) camera to be worth the cost of an upgrade. Not that I would say no to a Digital Rebel XTi, I just can't justify the cost as an upgrade to my XT. I was just pointing out that even the article you linked to only says that 6MP is the sweet spot for a specific size of sensor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OddHat Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 Re: Musings on Random Musings It's snowing like a summabich outside right now. I've called in to work to say I'm not going to make it in. I heard two others in my department also called in. They said 3-5 inches in my part of the state, and 8-10 inches in Denver. We've probably got 8" here already, so I wonder how bad it is south of us. Snow day! Funny, I thought it never snowed in ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teh bunneh Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 Re: Musings on Random Musings Funny' date=' I thought it never snowed in ... [/quote'] Quiet, you! The Colorado Front Range (where I live) only averages about 8" of snow in the month of December. I just went outside and the snow is up to my knees, so I figure we've got that beat just today. Honestly don't know if I'll be able to make it in to work tomorrow, either. Our driveway has an enormous ridge of snow about three feet high across it, and another slightly smaller blocking us from the street. Tomorrow at dawn I'll go walk the street to see if it looks passable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliceTheOwl Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 Re: Musings on Random Musings Apparently heading north in search of snow will just make it all go away. (It's rained everywhere Josh and I have gone, and the temp raised well above freezing while we were here. Figures. Though, the locals haven't terribly minded.)

teh bunneh Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 Re: Musings on Random Musings Well, managed to dig myself out and make it work. The interstate was pretty clear, but the city of Boulder doesn't actually believe in that mythical beast known as a "Snowplow" so it was scary icy once I got into town. Yesterday my lovely bunny wife and I watched DVDs most of the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archermoo Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 Re: Musings on Random Musings They also mentioned for compact cameras and excluded SLRs such as yours. Yup. And actually gave their "sweet spot" for the different sensor sizes. But not all compact cameras have the size sensor the article was talking about, which is what Bazza seemed to be indicating. According to the article, a sensor the size of the one in my camera should it its sweet spot around 27MP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday my lovely bunny wife and I watched DVDs most of the day. Noticed that did ya? I lived in Boulder for several years at different times, and the only place I ever saw get plowed was in and around campus. By campus employees, not city. 'Course nothing tops the City of Denver's response to the Christmas Eve blizzard of '82. Running out the garbage trucks to tamp down the snow, rather than plowing. That was fun...
