A famous quote from a famous movie line
Well, this moon teaser ad has been mooning Canon fans all over up to the point of a bunch of people have been grabbing screen shots, seeing the difference, changing the levels, decompiling the flash. Whatever. Some people detest the ad campaign, others think it's brilliant. Hopefully the suspense ends soon... like today or tomorrow

Someone asked me recently about DSLRs and the fact that there's three major players now. Actually, I don't consider Sony-olta seriously for now but given that Sony's probably another 800lb gorilla like Canon... you never know. Anyways, with all the latest announcements and the fact that I've a sizable investment in Canon gear (I'll post a packing for a shoot photo tonight), it is logical that I'm waiting for Canon's newest next week despite Sony's ground-breaking (in terms of pricing) for a 24, yup, twenty-four megapixel monster. I wonder how many rich hobbyists are going to find out that 6000 x 4000 pixels are going to be occupying a lot more storage and it'll probably be full of pictures of their dog, cat or pet fish. Anyways, honestly, I'm a Canon user, not some rabid fanboy of any system unlike some others. However, if you would to ask me who would I support, it'll be a small company based in Southern California. RED. They revolutionized video with the Red One and continue to do so with the Red Scarlet and EPIC. So, recently, when the big man at Red, Jim Jannard says there'll be a revolutionary DSLR from RED late 2009, you bet I'm waiting and listening.

Oh, yeah, in case you happen to wonder, Jannard is also the guy behind Oakley.

Whoever works in Canon Marketing is pure evil. Stop dropping teasers like this moon evolution thingy and get with the program! I want my 5D mark II or whatever it's going to be called!

Good weather held for a fun-filled pool-side buffet to celebrate Wilayne & David coming together as a couple... but maybe, just a little too much good weather as in a scorching afternoon sun resulted in a little too much warmth. Nevertheless, it was a fun-filled event and there were lots of times where it became more than low-light, it was closer to no light.

But no 3D or 7D yet
