The D60 (to me) felt and shot like a D40, just heavier. It uses the same shutter, but more pixels, which makes it less sensitive to light. In ‘A’ mode, open the lens wide up, you’ll see what I mean. I felt the same way about the D40X. All three cameras can get great shots, but the D40 is still the king in agility. Beyond 6MP, you can’t tell the difference unless you are making really large (beyond poster size) prints. A lot of people I know put their 12 MP sensors into 6 MP mode.

I love throwing my D40 into manual mode with just a 35MM f/2.8 (or the more expensive f/1.8) in any kind of light, but usually shoot in ‘P’ (program) mode with color saturation cranked up to the max. The cash you save going for the cheaper D40 can be put into a couple of lenses, which you can pick up used quite cheaply. I’ve been eying up (rather, drooling over) the creative fish eyes that lensbaby offers, but they have yet to set up a distributor in Makati.

Of course, its not the camera that makes great shots Anyway, happy shooting!!!

Ubuntu has become a very popular Linux distribution. I think the consistent support it has gotten from Mark Shuttleworth and canonical (his company) has been a big help. More power to Ubuntu users!

It is of my opinion that Windows and Vista are easier to breach than Linux and Mac OS X. Reading your article confirms my great faith in Linux and I was a bit disappointed with Mac OS X

Comment on When Tech Giants Tinker with Marriage by beetlebabee

I got this quote from Opine Editorials over on Kingfisher Column:

“Marriage is neither a conservative nor a liberal issue; it is a universal human institution, guaranteeing children fathers, and pointing men and women toward a special kind of socially as well as personally fruitful sexual relationship. Gay marriage is the final step down a long road America has already traveled toward deinstitutionalizing, denuding and privatizing marriage. It would set in legal stone some of the most destructive ideas of the sexual revolution: There are no differences between men and women that matter, marriage has nothing to do with procreation, children do not really need mothers and fathers, the diverse family forms adults choose are all equally good for children. What happens in my heart is that I know the difference. Don’t confuse my people, who have been the victims of deliberate family destruction, by giving them another definition of marriage.”

I thought it was very applicable.
