DBD 12.02.09: Should the Pac-10 start scheduling football like the Big East?

In general, we all know there's little to love about the Big East.  They're a basketball conference masquerading as a football conference.  They'll have one good team a year (Rutgers 2006. Cincinnati 2009) but generally they play lackluster football.  They're not even tied to a BCS Bowl!  They're the redheaded stepchild of the BCS family.

But... is there something that we can learn from them?  More after the jump.

Star-divide

 

Recently I came across this snippet in a Big East blog (I was bored, okay??)

Nick Carparelli, an associate commissioner for the Big East, is in charge of the league's scheduling and he "backloads" the league schedule with the schools he thinks will be the better teams each year so they play later in the year with more at stake. All he did this year was schedule the No. 1 vs. 2 teams (Cincinnati vs. Pitt) No. 3 vs. 4 (West Virginia vs. Rutgers) and No. 5 vs. 6 (UConn vs. USF) to play this week, while ending the regular season of the league's worst two teams (Syracuse and Louisville) last week. Brilliant.

This could certainly be an interesting idea for the Pac-10.  

1)  It'd be more exciting for fans.  College football is already plenty entertaining.  High scores, double-overtime nailbiters, douchebag what's-your-deal-ing coaches - the whole shebang.  But what would make it even better?  More drama.  (Trust me, I'm a professional.)  Ideally, the season needs to build to a climax as it wears on - this is part of the reason why people love conference championship games so much - one final battle, for all the marbles.  But CCG's alone do not drama make.  Look at the SEC, for example. 

From day one, you already know how the SEC's entire season's gonna turn out:

 Florida is gonna crush.  Yawn.

Alabama is gonna crush.  Yawn.

"For the last time, I was NOT cloned from Andy Richter's stem cells.  Also, our 2010 squad will be greater than the 1972 Miami Dolphins."  

There's no suspense!  There's no DRAMA.  Now, the Pac-10 is already plenty exciting year-to-year since we're such a strong conference overall.  But imagine if we could get the OOC/Wazzu/ASU/etc. games out of the way early.  We could avoid the potential letdown of ending the year on a anticlimactic note.    Imagine the buildup of playing OSU and Oregon and USC to wind down the season!  (Rivalry games would still be the last games of the season, of course).  Playing big games early is okay, but having them all steadily build up to a giant end-of-the-year adrenaline rush?  It could be awesome.

2)  It'd be good for ratings. This is the big potential gain.  As we know, no one east of the Mississippi watches Pac-10 football.  Hell, no one east of Colorado watches Pac-10 football.  At the beginning of the season, it's all OOC games anyway, so no big loss.  But all the conference games usually get lost in the shuffle, so we still lose out.  But if we can stuff all the high-profile games at the end of the season when national interest is at a fever pitch, we just might be able to steal a bigger piece of the TV pie, rather than having people choose syndicated episodes of Everyone Hates Twist over the Cal/U-Dub game, like they will this Saturday.  We might just be able to get them to give a damn.

As much as I hate to admit it, this is one thing we could stand to learn from East Coast Football.

Not a bad idea

Cal doesn’t like playing on Thanksgiving, ever, and Notre Dame either plays the Furd or USC on Thanksgiving weekend. Under this formula, here’s what the 2009 schedule would look like based on 2008 regular season records.

Week before Thanksgiving
Big Game


Thanksgiving weekend
#10 vs #9 Apple Cup (stays the same)
Notre Dame at Furd
Victory Bell
Civil War (which might clinch the Rose Bowl, might not)

Final week
#8 vs #7 UCLA at Furd
#6 vs #5 Arizona at ASU (that works out nicely finishing their season with a rivalry game)
#4 vs #3 Oregon State at Cal
#2 vs #1 USC at Oregon

So assuming we have some congruity in the standings, Oregon plays USC to clinch the Rose Bowl, Oregon State plays Cal and hopes Oregon loses while Cal plays Rose Bowl spoiler, Furd plays a lame duck UCLA team, Arizona and ASU play their rivalry game a week later. Hmm…

What do you guys think?

I think the type of scheduling that the Big East uses is only feasible because of the fact that there are no significant natural rivalries within the Big East. Well, maybe the Backyard Brawl, but no other team has any in-conference rivals. I think it’s more entertaining to have the last weekend of the year be a rivalry game than a game that would be based on projected final records.

Damnit, you said exactly what I was going to say……..

Backyard Brawl is the only real natural rivalry in the Big East. Louisville-WVU could have become one, but that rivalry got Kragthorpe’d.

We could always make the big rivalries as the second-to-last game of the season and make the “deciding games” the last week, but I dunno… I’d worry these games would actually get lost.

Not to mention that the Pac-10 rivalry games are usually pretty good as things stand, regardless of whether both teams are ranked.

I mean, hell, imagine how much the SEC schedule would have sucked had Alabama, Georgia, and SoCar not ended their seasons against their rivals.

by Rishi on Dec 2, 2009 7:15 AM PST up reply actions  

Not to nit-pick, but Cincinnati-Louisville is a pretty good natural rivalry, unfortunately it usually only manifests itself in basketball.

I like the idea of scheduling conference showdowns for late in the season, but late in the season, doesn’t mean the last weekend. I think the first two weeks of November are a great time to have the projected cream play each other. If we wait too long, there is a greater chance of the good teams being upset during the season. For example, Cal-SC, ever since 04 the Pac-10 has been waiting for the ultimate showdown, but at some point one or both the teams lose, making the game lose its appeal.

To be fair, I did say that all rivalry games should end the season, regardless of all other factors.

Ditto the other comments

End the season with the rivalry games. Period. No debate. The current scheduling sucks balls. Cal finishing with UW? USC finishing with Zona?

The conference needs to get its head out of its ass really soon. I understand that television exposure and contracts are a dicey negotiation and complicated, but scheduling should be the easy part. Fill in the final weekend games with the rivalry matchups then work backwards.

we’re not gaining those ratings anyways. Remember all the articles post Cal/Stanfurd & Oregon/Arizona? It was all “Everyone else in the country missed the two best games of the week – and among the best games of the season” No one watches Pac X football – even if we were to adapt a different scheduling system, no one would watch. People don’t believe we play football on the West Coast, USC aside.

1) It really has everything to do with time zones and our horrendous tv contracts. Andy Staples covered it best in the week after both those classic games.

I don’t think it’s that people deliberately don’t watch, it’s just that the games are impossible to find. Granted, there are a fair number of people who don’t believe that Pac-10 football is worth anything, but you’re going to find people who don’t like every conference anyway, so that’s not a problem that you really have to worry about overcoming. The bigger issue is unfriendly timeslots and games that end up being shown on Versus, which a lot of people don’t get. If the Pac-10’s able to put together a better TV package like Andy Staples has suggested, the profile of the conference will improve.

And I don’t necessarily think that backloading the schedule would help that significantly either.

World Cup draw 9am Pacific on Friday- ESPN 2 for those interested

The only surprise was Holland getting a seed and France dropping to the Euro pot. Well deserved, cheating Frog bastards, although it was supposedly based on October rankings.

Also, Mega cheater #1, Thierry Henry, may get a retroactive red card for his intentional hand ball that led to the cheaters cheating my blessed Ireland out of the World Cup. Doesn’t happen often but isn’t unheard of for a player to get a red card after the fact based on video evidence. If he gets a ban, it’ll be 1-3 games (likely 1 IMO).

Henry did say he thought Ireland deserved a replay. But it could have been with the knowledge it would never happen.

As far as France, they are basically irrelevant. Without the midfield anchor, they appear to be completely confused far too often.

Despite having a depleted bench, Cal was still able to secure a decisive 81-60 victory against Princeton on Nov. 29. Senior guard Jerome Randle and senior forward Jamal Boykin each posted 22 points. Boykin’s 22-point effort tied his personal best. Boykin, who is sixth on Cal’s career field goal percentage list, is shooting 61.5 through the first six games this season. Randle also notched a season-best nine assists to move up to fifth on Cal’s all-time assist chart. He is Cal’s leading scorer on the season, averaging 20.5 ppg.

Randle now has 1,307 career points and is 14th all-time in school history. Senior guard Patrick Christopher is 17th with 1,237 points, just two points shy of Brian Wethers for 16th. Randle is also seven three-pointers away from second on Cal’s all-time three-point list. He currently has 176.

Water polo player receives honor:

WOODLAND, CALIF. – California senior captain Spencer Warden was named first-team All-Mountain Pacific Sports Federation, while sophomore attacker Ivan Rackov was a second-team honoree and junior center Zach White was an honorable mention pick, it was announced today (Dec. 1) by MPSF Executive Director Al Beaird.

One of the greatest all-around players in Cal water polo history, Warden is a three-time All-American and was the 2006 MPSF Newcomer of the Year. He concluded his collegiate career last Sunday in a 10-7 loss to UCLA in the championship match of the MPSF Tournament in Los Angeles, yet has been part of a historic four-year run for the Golden Bears. The senior from Sequel, Calif. was instrumental in Cal winning back-to-back NCAA titles in 2006 and 2007, finishing with 135 goals in 111 career matches with over 240 steals. Warden was the second-leading scorer this year with 41 goals in 26 matches for the 22-6 Bears, and was a member of the 2009 MPSF All-Tournament team.

Sophomore standout Rackov, from Belgrade, Serbia, was Cal’s leading scorer this season with 55 goals in 28 matches, averaging 1.96 goals per match (fifth in the MPSF). He notched six goals in last weekend’s MPSF Tournament, including three goals in the Bears’ 12-11 overtime victory over Stanford and a team-high two goals in the 6-5 first round win over UC Irvine. Rackov paced Cal in scoring in 11 of 28 contests this season and already has scored 86 goals in two years.

Football press conference quotes:

BERKELEY – California head coach Jeff Tedford and junior quarterback Kevin Riley addressed the media during the final weekly Cal football media luncheon of the 2009 regular season held Tuesday in the Hall of Fame Room at Memorial Stadium prior to the Golden Bears’ regular-season finale at Washington this Saturday, Dec. 5 (3:30 p.m. PT). Following are selected comments of what each had to say.

HEAD COACH JEFF TEDFORD
On the tenor of his team in the unusual situation of having another regular-season game after the Big Game, as well as a bye week preceding this Saturday’s final regular-season contest at Washington
“It was a great break for us to get healthy. We were a little bit banged up after [the Big Game], so it’s great for the kids to be able to take a break, go home, kind of regroup, get focused on Washington. I think it was good in that way. [But] I think there is some – especially when we played here at home last year [against Washington, also after the Big Game] – I don’t think the interest was as much by the fans coming to the stadium. It was a little anticlimactic, I think, for the fans, but the players will be excited to go play.”

On whether the pace of this end-of-season schedule is beneficial compared to having too long a break before a bowl game
“Yeah – there’s a lot that goes into that though. This is a heavy recruiting time. The bowl schedules cut your recruiting weekends, your opportunities, down. They start finals here in a week, so there’s a lot going on.”

On whether he has any updates on Jahvid Best’s status
“No, no update at all. Jahvid did go back today to get evaluated in Pittsburgh, [Pa.] and he’ll be back tomorrow. He seems to be doing very well but we have not discussed at all a return.”

On whether he will play against Washington
“He won’t play this week.”

Beast Mode not terribly beastly

Here

If the Dolphins need help at wide receiver and linebacker, what do the Bills need? Honestly, quite a bit — but they could start at running back. The Bills have struggled running the ball all year, ranking 31st in rushing DVOA, ahead of only Kansas City. It hasn’t helped that Buffalo has started four different players at tackle, but despite the injuries, the line has outperformed the backfield. The Bills rank 21st in Adjusted Line Yards, FO’s statistic that attempts to separate the performance of a team’s running backs from its offensive line. Meanwhile, Fred Jackson ranks 32nd among running backs in rushing DVOA; Marshawn Lynch would rank 36th if he had enough attempts to qualify. Neither one is getting big gains; the Bills rank 31st in percentage of rushing yards on 10-yard plays.

ARMORED DOGS

Here

K9 Storm in Winnipeg, Canada, makes $5 million a year selling custom armor for dogs in the U.S. Army, Navy, Marines and Special Forces; police departments in 13 countries; and security firms worldwide.

Next up, the 12-employee firm is offering a new way to communicate with canines. In 2010 it launches the K9 Storm Intruder, a bulletproof dog vest with a wireless camera, speakers and a microphone built in. The handler can see what the dog sees and issue commands through the audio system.

“This will change the way dogs are managed in emergencies,” says Glori Slater, 47, vice president and co-founder of K9 Storm. “It will extend the range of the handler to 300 yards.”

The Soviets attempted to train dogs to run under German tanks with mines strapped to their backs during WWII. The scheme worked like a charm during training but went horribly wrong when they tried it at the front lines… because the Soviets hadn’t captured any German tanks, so they used their own, and when the dogs were set loose they immediately ran under the tanks that they recognized.

Reading BearInsider and Bear Territory makes my blood pressure go up significantly

For instance, this thread:

http://bearinsider.com/forums/showthread.php?p=239779&page=1

Its a discussion about how Cal should go into something similar to what Oregon is running with their spread option package.

On the other hand, (only if you have access):

http://cal.rivals.com/showmsg.asp?fid=1603&tid=135971115&mid=135971115&sid=1103&style=2

One person does make a great point though – it would be nice to run the same offense 2 years in a row (I know Tedford’s offense is the basic set offense, but having an OC for 2 years in a row would be major progress)

This brilliant thread talks about the Saints and them rushing 3. Someone then asks “How does the Saints secondary compare to Cal’s?”

I have to respond to that by just giving the bare facts (They are an NFL team, they run a 4-3)

I guess I just read those two sites because of the recruiting updates more than anything, but slowly, espn and the recruiting thread are more than making up for that.

Pretty sure Ludwig is sticking around this year, he wasn’t good enough to take another job and wasn’t bad enough to get canned…. Hopefully this bodes well for Riley and the rest of the offense… But I agree, we need consistency at OC to succeed in the long run… I wouldn’t take the spread from UO, but I would take the coaching consistency… Players want to play for coaches who will be there all four years.

Ludwig

I don’t know what the rest of CGB thinks, but I was really happy Ludwig as OC. I can’t remember ever thinking we had questionable game plans, or kept on going with plays that didn’t work. Most of the problems the Bears faced this year were with execution, not planning.

Although, I suppose you could pin that on the coaching as well.

Anyway I’m glad he’s coming back, and I think we’ll be better next year because of that.

I don’t know much about direction in Seattle or the U-district (that’s what the call the UW area) so I can’t help you there. But as for what to do I’d suggest wandering around downtown Seattle. Unfortunately night time might mean that there’s not much to do (sightseeing wise).

Interesting Scouting Article about Syd (if you have insider)

http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/draft10/insider/news/story?id=4493868

This same mindset seems to have taken hold in the scouting world — at least in the valuation of height among cornerbacks. I say this in part because of California cornerback Syd’quan Thompson. Depending on which Web site you believe, Thompson is either 5-foot-8, 5-foot-8 5/8, or 5-foot-9. While this disagreement exists, all the sites agree on this: His height is a detriment. It is always mentioned as a reason that he is considered a late first-round/early second-round prospect instead of an early-mid first-round prospect.

Getty ImagesSyd’Quan Thompson looked great against Minnesota and star WR Eric Decker this past weekend.

I tend to disagree, for two reasons.

I don’t know a lot about DB mechanics, but how the hell does someone who’s 5-8 cover a 6-4/6-5 WR like Moss, Andre Johnson, Megatron, etc? It seems like an issue.

Also, the Maryland game doesn’t seem like a good benchmark, since it was pretty one-sided.

Also, some teams have rivalry games (or even key conference games) early in the season (Red River Shootout comes to mind, and Fla-Tenn seems to happen early in the conference schedule). I suppose the benefit is:

- a win gets you a leg up on the other teams, as the rest of the country is fumble fucking around with weak opponents. A perfect example this year would be Boise St who hasn’t played anyone post-Labor Day. What’s their current BCS ranking?

- a loss doesn’t hurt as bad. We’ve seen this with our very own Cal Bears, as losses to Oregon, USC, and Oregon St might have dropped Cal all the way out of the Top 25 for the year. Now Cal’s one two very nice games since then (which obvi helped), but my point is they wouldn’t have had that chance if these L’s all came in the last weeks of the season.

Press Release from Bank of America:
“After much consideration, we have decided to retain the money from the TARP loan. We are proud to have bounced back from this crisis so quickly, but we feel it is in America’s best interest to re-invest in main street. That is why we will be using this same amount to fund our new Small Business Super Loans – so we can really keep business moving in America. We will be projecting that the TARP will be repaid by this time in 2010, and in the meantime we will be able to help 50bajillion businesses keep their doors open.

Thank you. "

Hmm...

The Tarp money was bad for many reasons. My main issue with it is it cost way too much. To date, BAML has had to pay $2.45billion in dividends to the US Treas. Plus, It would have cost an add’l $3.6bn in ANNUAL dividends. This is money that could have been going to loans.

Also, loans to struggling businesses is what got us into this mess. As in, loaning money to an entity (whether a homeowner, large/small corporation, public institution, etc.) that cannot afford debt is perhaps irresponsible.

I think paying back TARP for any bank who has had to be burdened with it is a good thing for the health of that bank… and ultimately the health of the financial system.

At what time did you finish your UC app? I think I finished around 11:45 PM.

LINK

University of California officials have extended the application period for undergraduate admissions after a computer slowdown kept some students from filing their online applications in time for Monday night’s deadline. The new deadline is 11:59 p.m. tonight.

Susan Wilbur, UC’s director of undergraduate admissions, said her office is investigating the cause of the computerized malfunction that at least temporarily blocked some panicked last-minute filers from submitting applications on Sunday and Monday nights. She said she did not know how many students were affected but said that about two-thirds of applicants wait to file until a week or less before the deadline. Many others delay until the day the application is due.

Wilbur said she regretted the slowdown and said she knew it added to “the anxiety students already face” in applying to UC.

I’m getting the sense that Cancers and Leos just don’t get on well romantically. This is VERY VERY important Twist. Your answer will single-handedly make my decision on whether to continue on in current… friendship… or just end it now. Thanks.

by since1997 on Dec 2, 2009 4:15 PM PST up reply actions  

http://hubpages.com/hub/Astrology—-How-To-Get-Along—-Cancer-and-Leo

Romance Recommendation: Cancer really could benefit from Leo’s sunshine! Cancer is cuddly and sweet and possesses, when joyful, emotions of full appreciation and love. Leo would not take to major adjustments, because their ego might be threatened. Cancer’s loving warmness could create pillows of comfort for the duo and it could patiently wait for Leo to make changes if the Crab promised not to mope.

Conflict Quotient: The Crab can skitter, pinch, disappear, hide and then come back with a new negative issue, especially if the conflict is deeply felt. The Leo is grand in a fight, but would find the psychic depletion necessary to take on Cancer a big drag on their normally upbeat outlook. Leo would not lose its sense of self esteem, but boy would they get tired attending to the Moonchild’s powerfully felt negative emotions. Leo should not get fatigued and prance off into the tall grass without attending to Cancer’s complaint; or if they do, come back for resolution. Cancer is never done being Cancer, but a full blown fight should not be handled in a Leonine cavalier way.

Lawyers, want some legalese?

LINK The suit is linked to below.

Yesterday, the Electronic Frontier Foundation and UC Berkeley’s Samuelson Center filed suit in California’s Northern District, asking the court to force a number of government agencies to hand over any documents they have concerning the use of social networking sites as part of investigative procedures. The duo had sent a number of Freedom of Information Act requests to branches of a half-dozen federal agencies starting in early October. For the most part, all they’ve received is an acknowledgement that the requests were received. Since the FOIA requires that a response be made within 20 days, the suit requests that a legal order be issued for the information’s release.

The suit is refreshingly succinct, coming in at only seven pages. A large portion of that is spent simply defining that various agencies that received FOIA requests, which went out to everyone from the Navy to the IRS (the suit consolidates matters by simply naming the parent agencies, like the Departments of Defense and Homeland Security).

The issues at stake start on the bottom of page two, where the EFF and Samuelson Center note that news reports in sources such as the Associated Press, Wired, and The New York Times have all run stories indicating that federal authorities have used social sites, including YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter, to pursue investigations. In at least one case, investigators virtually staked out Facebook, and pounced as soon as a fugitive set up an account.

These reports make it clear that, like everyone else, federal investigators have learned the value of cyberstalking when it comes to getting information about a person of interest. The groups behind the suit don’t necessarily have a problem with that practice, recognizing it’s done “often for laudable reasons.” What they would like to know is whether there are any procedures in place to limit its abuse and, if so, what they are.

Ok

There are basically five categories of stuff:

1. Hard liquor
2. Other liquor
3. Beer/wine
4. Mixers/garnishes
5. Tools

(1) Hard liquor
This category includes vodka, rum, gin, whiskey and tequila. I would start with vodka and rum because they are a lot more versatile than the others. Two things to keep in mind – buy stuff that you like (if you don’t like gin, don’t waste money buying it) and buy good quality liquor. I cannot stress this enough. If you want to make quality drinks and not generic rum-and-coke type stuff, quality is essential.

(2) Other liquor
This depends entirely on your preferences and what you want to make. Vermouth is a key ingredient for a lot of classic cocktails. Triple sec can be used for a lot of stuff too. Some people like Kahlua, others like Bailey’s, Jaeger, whatever.

(3) Beer/wine
Buy what you like. Easy.

(4) Mixers/garnishes
In addition to juice/soda, you’ll need olives, maraschino cherries, and lemon juice or lemons. Again, depends what you’re making.

(5) Tools
A shaker is useful, as is a jigger or at least a shot glass. A squeezer thingy for squeezing lemons. A muddler is good if you want to make motinos mojitos or anything else that requires muddling.

I recommend starting with three drinks that you like/think you’ll like, and buying the appropriate ingredients. Let’s say you want to be able to make mojitos, manhattans, and gin and tonics. You would need (1) light rum, bourbon, vodka, (2) sweet vermouth, (4) tonic water, club soda, mint, bitters, maraschino cherries. You can experiment, see what you like, and take it from there. That shouldn’t break the bank, either.

I tend to stick to one Scotch or Bourbon (neat) these days and then the rest of my night is spent with quality ales.

This approach was formed after too much post-b-party Scotch in New York, New York left me passed out in the Las Vegas airport at the gate. I woke up as confused as I’ve ever been – the terminal was dark and empty, where the fuck am I, how did I get here? After some awakenings there was some awkward midnight plane wrangling and an even more awkward call home. My ultimate reward tho was an unscheduled solo Sunday night stay at Excalibur, where I lost even more money on the weekend trying to recoup my dignity.

An indication that I really am an old fart who is about to give up, once and for all, on olde school film cameras and start saving for a decent digital SLR.

These kids today grumble state of my lawn harrumph.

by DC Trojan on Dec 3, 2009 5:57 AM PST up reply actions  

Interestingly enough I just dug out my film cameras this weekend. Digital SLRs are great, but honestly, I think I’d be just as happy with some combination of a micro 4/3rds (like the Olympus EP-1 ) and a Panasonic DMC.

Or maybe its because I spent today at work looking at expensive cameras on the web.

Oh, if you ask, I really like my D-80 (now a D-90)

by LeonPowe on Dec 3, 2009 6:27 AM PST up reply actions  

I’ve got a Pasasonic TMZ-3 that I got a couple of years ago, which could best be described as temperamental. That was one impetus to get out the old Nikon N75 – it was the next-to-cheapest Nikon SLR when I bought it 5 years ago, and usually wipes the floor with most digital cameras in terms of end results.

I think that part of the problem is that the films were developed, the negatives scanned, and the prints made from the scans. The prints are poor – like under-exposed 1980s film poor. If I put the pictures I just took of Great Falls on the Potomac against similar pictures I’ve taken, there’s just no comparison on the quality. (I can’t speak to the quality of the scans because they seem to have given me a faulty CD-ROM).

Oh well. I rather like the look of that 4/3 Olympus, but a new television is in order first – I need to get out of the dark ages of CRT / standard definition. Might as well be watching games unfold on vellum.

Film does look better, just like records sound better. but I don’t have an iRecord player that I can wear on the bus to work, and film costs vs. being able to fire off 500 shots in a week in Vietnam then deleting makes photography a million times easier.

I believe CalBear81 watches games on vellum.

Given the opportunity, I’d have a shiny new turntable and a vacuum tube amplifier, but as it is 98% of my music listening is on iPod.

I completely agree about the merits of being able to take so many pictures with a digital camera and edit down later… it’s giving up zoom lenses and that last degree of clarity (achievable within my budget) that rubs me the wrong way.

by DC Trojan on Dec 3, 2009 7:19 AM PST up reply actions  

ah, a budget. because there’s always a ’blad medium format with a digital back.

or the fujifilm rangefinder MF with a digital back.

I’ve been shooting with my 50mm prime and my 85mm prime over hte last month, while not as flexible as the 24-200,they’re both so fast AND they force me to be more creative with my framing, I’m kind of enjoying the process.

by LeonPowe on Dec 3, 2009 7:27 AM PST up reply actions  

The other reason I’m not rushing to shell out for a digital SLR is that 98% of my pictures are of my children. It doesn’t merit seriously high resolution.

I rock a D50 right now but I’m looking at how to justify the upgrade to a D90

by turkey on Dec 3, 2009 10:01 AM PST up reply actions  

Don’t do it. Either go full upgrade to a pro cameraor no need to bother to the next level of consumer camera.

And pros are only good because they’re tough and heavy. Honestly the D50 is the best camera you’ll ever need unless you’re going to take photos for money or serious amateur level. If you want to spend money, buy lenses.

DC Trojan – micro 4/3rds. But it may be too hip for you. (The Olympus Pen has become the hipster with money camera of choice) In that case, the Lumix DMC is an amazing camera with Leica glass at 2.3rds the prices of a Leica. I played arond with my friend’s at a party, and I tried to trade him my Ricoh GR digital plus lots of cash on the spot.

by LeonPowe on Dec 4, 2009 12:57 AM PST up reply actions  

Micro 4/3rds? I don’t know about being a hipster with money but I love that style of camera. I used to sit and gaze longingly at Contax G2s before they were discontinued.

The DMC certainly has a price advantage over the Olympus PEN… I don’t know that I can quite justify replacing a compact with a compact but the raves online about the low-light performance of the DMC are compelling – because that is one area where my TMZ sucks.

by DC Trojan on Dec 4, 2009 8:00 AM PST up reply actions  

It’s more I’m preparing for the day my D50 dies, there are only so many shutter activations in a camera’s lifetime.

The increase in high ISO noise processing is also a reason to consider upgrading at some point.

But yes, the D50 does do easily do at least 90% of what I want out of a camera. Maybe I will just go consider that Tamron 17-50/2.8…..

And this guy comes up to me and he says
" Where are you from?"
Well, I says "Yeah, I’m from Canada"
And he says "Zoot Allure, mon Dieu, you are from Canada? Do you
play hockey?"
And I says "Do I play hockey?
