John Rougeux Gone Registered: 11/06/08 Posts: 5028	I guess since Steve didn't talk about the iPod Classic, it is now officially dead. _________________________ It was nice knowing you all....

John Rougeux Gone Registered: 11/06/08 Posts: 5028	Oooops, I am wrong. It's still for sale, but wasn't updated. Wonder when they'll just kill it? _________________________ It was nice knowing you all....

John Rougeux Gone Registered: 11/06/08 Posts: 5028	yeah, true. I could see getting one and putting it in my car so that I can free up my iPhone. _________________________ It was nice knowing you all....

carp Dino's are Babe magnets Registered: 04/19/02 Posts: 26020 Loc: Hawaii	Yep Classic 160 GB drive - compared to iTouch 64 GB. I think the classic is more on the niche market for people who really need that much drive space. I suspect medical professionals, maybe remote photographers who download raw images out in the wilds kinda thingy and use the classic for a storage device as opposed to dragging a laptop around. _________________________

John Rougeux Gone Registered: 11/06/08 Posts: 5028	eh, I found the iPod to not be such a great thing to download photos to. The majority photographers have multiple large space compact flash cards instead. I wonder who does buy these now? _________________________ It was nice knowing you all....

carp Dino's are Babe magnets Registered: 04/19/02 Posts: 26020 Loc: Hawaii	I dunno John But I did read a bunch of articles, where iPods was a choice to download to compared to flash cards. Might be something to do with the ability to view your Shot on the spot? but these photographers where like on Mount Everest, really remote areas. _________________________

John Rougeux Gone Registered: 11/06/08 Posts: 5028	Steve, cameras use Compact Flash cards to store photos on....so it's not one or the other (CF cards vs iPod). This device made by Belkin I think was what was used to download from the CF card to the iPod: But it sucked. _________________________ It was nice knowing you all....

KateSorensen McMinnville OR Registered: 05/19/01 Posts: 2801	Pictures coming off my Nikon are around 3.5 mb. How many will fit on that 160 GB iPod? If I reduce in size a whole lot of them, I could cram a few more on it. [ smile ] . _________________________ Millville, NJ, West Sider. 1936 -

carp Dino's are Babe magnets Registered: 04/19/02 Posts: 26020 Loc: Hawaii	John Point being is that these remote people can VIEW their shots - It is not a question of bringing along flash cards for a long trek. _________________________

John Rougeux Gone Registered: 11/06/08 Posts: 5028	Steve, If they wanted to view their shots, they would be better off viewing them on the rear LCD of their camera than on an iPod Classic. The LCD on any professional body is MUCH better than the monitor on the iPod Classic. _________________________ It was nice knowing you all....

carp Dino's are Babe magnets Registered: 04/19/02 Posts: 26020 Loc: Hawaii	I disagree Anyway, sadly I cannot find those videos, which by now are very old. Simply they were buying iPods classics for the HD space <-- which made sense at the time. _________________________

John Rougeux Gone Registered: 11/06/08 Posts: 5028	heh Well, having held and shot Nikon's DSLR cameras, I can safely say that you are wrong. And just to help show you: iPod Classic monitor: 320-by-240-pixel resolution at 163 pixels per inch 2.5-inch (diagonal) color LCD with LED backlight Nikon D3s: LCD Dots 921,000 LCD 3 " The fact that you can zoom in on the DSLR LCD is a HUGE advantage over ANY iPod classic screen. _________________________ It was nice knowing you all....

Quote: maybe remote photographers who download raw images out in the wilds kinda thingy and use the classic for a storage device This was a viable option in the early days when cards did not have enough space. The problem was you could not view the RAW files on an iPod. Still can't. That meant you had to view them on the camera lcd.. which back then was pretty sucky. Or shoot Jpeg... bleh. Now.. the camera LCD is as good or better than iPod or iTouch. The Mac oS can decode RAWs... but the libraries to do that are not included on iPods or iTouches AFAIK. _________________________ http://davidbearphotography.com/ ==== When Romney talks....

carp Dino's are Babe magnets Registered: 04/19/02 Posts: 26020 Loc: Hawaii	I hear ya. I went looking for those old videos of people using iPods classics as storage devices in remote locations way back when. Humm thought Apple web site would still have them archived, oh well. Anyway IMO, thats really the only market I can see. _________________________
