well casio did it again, they announced a nice toy which is very interesting for a couple of reasons

40 fps pictures (at 7 MP) or 1000 fps video
520mm zoom
internal IS

it won't replace an slr, but I could see me using it for several applications.

the name:

EXILIM EX-FH20.

Now if Nikon would release something like this which could use my existing lenses, it would be truly interesting.

(the picture is taken from dpreview.com and all the rights belong to them!)

just calculating what the wonderful radio poppers cost,

720$ why oh why can't it be something like 300 :(

• 3 x receiver
• 1 x transmitter
  

another thing which makes only sens if I ever go 'pro' but the system is so nice.

so who want to hire me...

I might get a transmitter and 1 receiver for my birthday, so that I can fire a flash out of sight. But I'm very unsure about this, but well 2 years ago I also thought 1 flash is all I ever need and look were it ended...

oh the power of python, I try to use it whenever possible since I hate it to be stuck with just java...

a simple program to find all files containing a space at a certain position and to rename it to the correct name needed for my system:

#!/usr/bin/python

import re, os

rxin = '.*bsksa.* _[0-9].txt'
foo = re.compile(rxin)

for fname in os.listdir(os.getcwd()):
allowed_name = re.compile(rxin).match

if allowed_name(fname):
os.rename(fname,fname.replace(' ',''))


or short, find files and replace spaces with nothing. The reg expression just filters the data.
