Say Turkey!
| Thursday, November 23rd, 2006 | --Sean |
Hope all of you are having a fantastic Thanksgiving out there (or a fantastic November 23rd, if you aren't American or don't celebrate Thanksgiving)! I'm sure you'll have a magnificent, sumptuous spread on your table tonight, overflowing with turkey and stuffing and cranberry sauce and delicious gravy (hint: you could have stopped the gravy from overflowing by using a larger bowl with steeper sides). You know, I wouldn't have to just imagine this if you'd buy a camera already and post your pictures online.
Something that might help out with that quest is Flickr's Camera Finder. In addition to giving general information about the popularity of certain cameras on Flickr --- with graphs! --- you can also dig down to particular cameras to read reviews, get usage stats, and see uploaded photos that had been taken with that camera. If you feel like sorting by Interestingness is giving you too many awesome photos (because, you know, that's what it's supposed to do), you can instead just view the recent photos to see unbiased examples of the types of pictures you might expect upon purchasing said camera. Basically what you'd expect, at least; I don't think the Camera Finder could predict that you'd have so many pictures of turkey and stuffing and cranberry sauce and delicious gravy in large, steep-sided bowls if you bought one now.
Sorry for missing Tuesday, I was flying!
