KingCast says holy shit, look what my camera can do!

By Christopher King

I bought this puppy for work, I kind of told myself. But I knew damn well that's a lie, so I won't ask them to pay for it LOL! Anyway, with 1/3200 shutter speed and continuous burst shot that's what's up. I'm going to have so much fun with this thing, and it being a digicam that records audio in stereo that's just lovely. I keep looking at her (I think her name is going to be Zoey) and watching her look at me and I know this is going to be a wonderful relationship already :)

The kid I bought it from (he went DSLR and doesn't need video) is really cool too, a physical therapist student, a very important profession, so Good Vibes there, too, a good energy coming with it. Anyway, this is the shizz it can do that I'm learning how to use in the next week or two or fifty-two:

* f/2.7(W)-f/3.5(T) image stabilized 6.0-72.0mm 12x zoom lens (36-432mm equivalent)
* Continuous IS, Panning IS and a new "Shoot Only" IS mode that is only active during exposure while shooting still photos
* maximum shutter speed of 1/3200 second and can capture still photos continuously at rates up to 2.4 fps
* 16-bit stereo audio recording at sampling rates adjustable up to 44 kHz
* Movie mode VGA resolution at 30 frames per second (fps). Individual movie clips can last as long as 60 minutes or produce
file sizes up to 1GB on an SD media card
* MovieSnap feature makes it possible to capture still images at resolutions up to five megapixels while recording movies

I need to take a week off from work so I can learn it right, LOL.

Arthur Ashe's daughter is named Camera because her mother is a professional photographer. Meeting Arthur for an extended interview and walk about at a Cincinnati high school in 1989 was a truly rewarding experience for me; the World lost a great man way too early. Of course part of that is because of Ron Reagan's bullshit stance on blood testing for HIV, so Arthur contracted it during a blood transfusion because he had a weak (physically, not spiritually) heart. I'll be out and about, to see if I can take a "better" picture than this one in 1990 that I always thought would be my best ever:
