This has been a busy week, lots of things happening. Meetings at work, and at home we had some work done in the garden (cutting trees etc.).
Today I was in Helsinki early in the morning, and took some photographs while walking to a meeting. And when I was returning to home from work, there was an extreme case of a traffic jam. It two two hours to get home. (Usually it takes 30-45 minutes by car.)
Here are some random bits I thought at some point doing this busy week.
About Anssi Vanjoki's comments on camera phones killing off DSLRs: Vanjoki seems to be the strongest candidate for next CEO of Nokia, and the term "Vanjoking" seems to be taking off. He likes to provoke.
I haven't had time to look into the details of Sony's new mirrorless cameras NEX-5 and NEX-3, but they do seem promising. Of course, lens selection is really limited at the moment. But the cameras are small, and it seems that Sony has learned a lesson or two from the Olympus and Panasonic micro 4/3 cameras. Competition is heating up. But we need lenses - especially pancake lenses - and a good macro lens. Please, please.
A colleague in Germany (thanks, Jarno!) sent in some links about the Finnish author Antti Hyry, whom I have pondered here a couple of times. This information is in Finnish. First, a radio program at YLE Areena, which will be available for a few weeks, also available from abroad. And an interview of Hyry at Suomen Kuvalehti. Very short, very typical, entertaining in a Hyry-like way (you need to read between the lines).
Update: Canon news as well: SD 4000/IXUS 300 HS is a new premium compact with (some) manual controls. ISO 3200 (whatever that means) and 28-104 mm f/2.0 lens. May not be too bad at all. Well, and I was thinking just a while ago that there are no new interesting cameras, and now we do have some from Sony and Canon.
