For about two years I'm looking for a compact camera with a good lowlight performance, excellent image quality and full manual control. I think I finally found it: the Panasonic GF1.

So Apple has finally announced it already famous iPad. Looks good, but I still don't see why I should own one. Could be great as a device to take with you to view the pictures you shot direct on a larger format, but the iPad won't be able to do such things.

Sony has announced the successor of their PSP 3000 game console, named PSP GO. They did a lot of redesign on the outside, not so much on the inside. The PSP GO can already be pre-ordered on Amazon but it will not be released until 1 October 2009, according to Sony.

Last weekend I returned from my trip to the US. It was awesome! Great weather, beautiful scenery, stunning hikes and tons of pictures. Plenty of stuff to fill a new photobook which I will release hopefully later this Summer.

Two more days before I will leave for a trip to the US. Like almost 10 years ago, I will be travelling with tent and camera, starting in Las Vegas and visiting as many natural parks as I could fit into two weeks of travelling. These parks are on my list: Death Valley, Yosemite, Sequioa, Antelope Canyon, Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Arches, Canyonlands, Zion and Bryce Canyon.

OMG! Nikon has unveiled the D3x, their new full frame DSLR flagship and I only found out yesterday. And to be honest, I was not impressed, shocked or thrilled. I just thought 'ah, another new camera'. It must be an impressive tool, but I will stick with my lovely D700 for a while and won't consider anything new for the next couple of years...

Wow... GMail has introduced themes and some of them are really cool. Changing the looks of your mailbox takes a couple of clicks only.

If you scan the photography sites every now and then you will have noticed the rumours around new cameras, especially new Nikon cameras. Models mentioned are the D800, D900, D3x, D4 and other more exotic names. What more could you wish what is currently not available in the current model range? Don't D3, D700, D300 and D90 provide you with everything you could wish for? I was expecting the model race was about to slow down but it seems to speed up instead. I don't get it!

I installed Linux on an old computer after I saw some cool Web 2.0 toolsets in Barcelona last week. After I installed Mandriva Linux, I installed XAMPP on top of it and without much effort I got the web server and database to work. Next step is making my Linux machine available from the internet (without exposing my entire network) and then start developing some cool Dojo and sMash applications. But that may take a while...

Today I checked out MyBlogLog and found out that I've registered to many websites but hardly use them for anything, except PBase. And Hyves. And Netlog.

I spent a lovely weekend in Chateau Vignee in the Ardennes (Belgium) this weekend. Excellent weather for an Autumn stroll (we walked for 5 hours) and a great dinner afterwards...

Photokina 2008: Leica has today unveiled a brand new autofocus DSLR system designed for professional users, which is configured around a 30x45mm sensor (i.e. 56% larger than 35mm full-frame). The S-system will utilize an advanced new dual shutter, with both an in-body focal plane shutter for fast lenses, and in-lens leaf shutters for high flash sync speeds. The first camera, the S-2, will feature a 37.5 megapixel CCD sensor in a weatherproof body which is similar in size and handling to conventional 35mm-type DSLRs. The new ‘Maestro’ image processing system provides twice the operating speed of current medium-format backs, significantly reduced power consumption, and allows production of in-camera JPEGs. The company has also developed a range of nine new lenses, including macro, ultra-wideangle, and tilt-and-shift designs.
The lenses will include 24mm ultrawide, 35mm wide, 70mm standard, 100mm short tele, 120mm macro, 180mm telephoto, and 30mm tilt-and-shift optics – more details to be added as we get them.

Im back on track! I ran 9 km last Sunday, making a third training for the past week. Weather was perfect and I found a nice trail with hardly any traffic and good roads. I've signed up for the Zevenheuvelenloop (16/11) and the Montferland Run (7/12).

You can read rumors all over the internet about Nikon announcing a new medium format digital camera on 8 November this year. The rumor is based on a mobile phone picture showing a list of image sensors including a new MX format sensor with a max resolution of 6380 x 6380 pixels (40.7Mp). Sensor sizes are expected to be approx. 50 x 50mm and because of this a new range of lenses is expected as well. Existing DX and FX should be backward compatible via mount adaptor.

The mountain bike weekend was definitely a clear signal: I must get back into shape. I need to re-instate my training routine, and I actually made a start last weekend by going out for a 7.6km run. More than I planned for, I unexpectedly found a road closed on my way back home and had to extend my route. By the way, I didn't order the new bike shirt, I still have a very cool Agu shirt for Autumn so I won't buy a new one before Spring. Tonight I will sign up for a couple of runs!
2008/09/12 17:17
So I surfed the net to find a decent shirt and then I came across the Agu Capitola shirt. I thought it looks great! I hope I can find it somewhere in a bike shop tomorrow, otherwise I will order it.

I was away with friends this weekend and we spent three hours on a mountain bike in the Maastricht neighborhood. It was really tough, but I lot of fun. I decided I should go out biking some more. I'll go look for a new shirt first... :-)

I was invited to attend a bondage session with Hans and Selena, regular contributors to http://www.bondagegeisha.com and http://www.powerotics.com. It was my first experience (definitely not my last) and I learned a lot... A selection of the pictures is now online on PBase.

Pre-Photokina: After a steady trickle of leaks and rumors Nikon has announced the successor to its popular D80 middleweight digital SLR in the shape of the D90. The D90 looks very similar, but underneath it's a completely new camera that's inherited advanced features from Nikon's pro models and user-friendly features from the D40/D60 range. Oh, and it's the world's first digital SLR with a movie mode. Oher features of note include a new 12.3 MP CMOS sensor, the D3/D300/D700's fab high resolution 3.0-inch screen. live view and continuous shooting at up to 4.5 frames per second.

Wow, it was not really planned for, but after seeing high ISO sample pictures of the new Nikon D700 I decided I could use one for an upcoming wedding shoot. So the day before I bought one and spent a full night on familiarizing with my new toy (plus a 24-70/2.8). I love it! I'll post some pics on PBase soon. Here I found some good reviews including high ISO samples. Seeing is believing...

Yesterday I returned from a trip to Norway with my family. We arrived in Oslo with the ferry from Kiel, then travelled North via Hamar and Lillehammer to spend a couple of days with my family in the Lesja area. The journey continued via Geiranger to Voss and then back to Oslo. I've created a new PBase gallery which I will update over the next couple of weeks.
