Now Hear This w/ RC | Strobist in Orlando | Contest Time

Happy Friday everyone! Let’s get right down to it.
I’m pretty psyched – my “Get In The Mix” article is posted online. If you ever wanted to take a quick tour of sound, the different applications, and a preview of some of the features of Soundbooth and Audition CS3, be sure to go and click on the link. Deep down, I am a big music and audio junkie, so I loved working on this one.
If you want to take a look at the plans for the weekend, as well as a peek into this week’s contest.. well, you know what to do.
Strobist in Orlando
Let’s start it off with the Strobist. This weekend he will be holding a class in Orlando on the 16th and 17th at the Embassy Suites Orlando. Although the class is sold out here, be sure to check out his site for more dates. A couple of us are going down on Saturday, and I even have a ticket for the Sunday show.. I may offload that one.. but I’ll let you know. Maybe. I could sure use two days of the Strobist though.
Contest Time
OK. This is the contest – All you have to do is answer two questions: 1. Do you have a digital Camera? 2. What kind of camera is it? It doesn’t matter if it’s a point and shoot, or a super SLR – I just want to know. Selfishly – I really am looking into getting a decent point and shoot and I’m still sitting on the fence about the G9 – despite how amazing it is.
What do you win? You will win a copy of the Photo Master Target – the collapsible color targeting system that never leaves my bag. Much props go to Jean-Francois O’Kane of The Studio Coach for the Target. We love you, man!
The winner of the contest will be chosen at random – all you have to do is leave us a comment on this post with the answers. Winner will be aired Monday morning, 9AM.
Good luck to everyone, and have a great weekend!

Love Layers TV — thanks to you and Corey.

Best,

HI RC,
I’ve got a G9 for point and shoot and its fantastic. Being able to use a P&S and get RAW out is awsome. And for the more arty times I’ve got a D80 with a 18-200VR lens. Wouldn’t give it up for anything

Comment by Matthew Parker | February 15, 2008 @ 9:54 am
I shoot with a Pentax *ist & love it!
Comment by Chris | February 15, 2008 @ 10:34 am
Hey RC,
My home Digital Camera is Point and Shoot HP 5.1 Megapixel that was a present for my wife a few years ago. At work, I purchased a Panasonic FZ-50 to get as close as I could afford to an SLR since my budget was $500 and that would have only gotten me a body without a lens. Thanks for the blog and the podcast.

Comment by shanna | February 15, 2008 @ 10:47 am
Mine is a Pentax Z10 at work… still a film junkie at heart with a Pentax ZX-5N and a 645N at home. Would love a small point-and-shoot to stick in my purse… can’t wait to see what you come up with.
Comment by D | February 15, 2008 @ 11:24 am
Hey RC
I have a Fujifilm FinePix2800 – sorta old but I love it for its size, how it fits my hand and its optical zoom.

I recently moved up from a Canon Digital Rebel XT to a 5D. It’s an amazing camera, especially when coupled with the 24-70mm and 70-200mm IS “L” lenses.
We also keep a Canon SD750 point-and-shoot for quick stuff, mainly for my wife.
Comment by Mike Stewart | February 15, 2008 @ 12:47 pm
I recently moved up from the Canon Digital Rebel XT to the 5D. Great camera, especially paired with the L-series lenses.
At home, we use the Canon PowerShot SD750 point-and-shoot for quick snaps.
