Thanks. As soon as I can dl the RAW converter I'll post some images I've taken with the Sony today.
Edit: or maybe not. Files are about 140MBs a piece. Guess I'll have to compress to JPEG.

Got a little extra money yesterday so I made a cheap DVD order that included Naoko Ogigami's Kamome Diner, Toshiya Fujita's Lady Snowblood and Yoshifumi Kondo's Whisper of the Heart.

I'm afraid her twintails will snap off...

Figma Miku arrived today. I've been trying so hard not to become a Mikufag, but with Vocaloid2 announced for an English release I don't think I'll be able to resist anymore.
More Miike from huuto.net arrived yesterday

As you should, she took a lot (too much?) of money and a LOT of time constantly checking Yahoo Auctions.

Yes. My only gripe is that her hands use the old Figma pegs which are knotted at the end so they "snap" into her wrist, as opposed to the newer pegs which are not rounded and just slide in. I start sweating nervously every time I go to change her hands because I'm afraid I might break them, as it requires some force to pull them out. I do understand that she was re-released as a Wonderfest exclusive with different accessories/faces, but I'm not sure if that one has the newer hand pegs or not, and it might be impossible to find at this point anyway.
Also her hair is teal instead of turqouise.
Her twintails seem durable enough and are attached by Figma joints, so no problems there. Overall she's very pretty and detailed, and I'm surprised at how similar my two Figmas are to their promo pics. I've heard nothing but bad things about Figma Asuka.

This camera situation is really bugging me. If I go film, I'm gonna have to save my money for a bit indeed to get what I need. However, it is eating me alive to know that I have to wait. If I go digital, there's a part of me that feels I'm ripping myself off. I'd honestly like to buy something digital to keep me at bay while I save up for film, but I'm gonna have to find something cheap and good. Ehh, I'll figure it out eventually.

Hey! Welcome to my world! I've been going over this dilemma for the past year or so and still haven't fully decided on what I want to do. Two questions:
1) What's your budget? I mean, you should be able to find 35mm film cameras quite cheap, especially used. No matter whether you go film or digital, the bulk of your expense will/should be on lenses. With film, you just save on the camera and get better image quality, while with digital you save on film, developing, and scanning--more so over time.
2) How big of prints do you want to eventually make and are you going to do any cropping? If the answer is "small prints and no cropping", then you really won't benefit from the extra resolution of film. If you want to make big prints (say, 20"x13") that are really sharp then you're going to want at least a 35mm film or digital camera. If you want to go 30" or more then you probably need a medium format (645 or 67) film camera.
To make the resolution issue clear, whenever you print, you divide the pixel width by the print size width to get pixels-per-inch or PPI. Traditional wisdom says that 300PPI is super-sharp at arms' length while the quality starts deteriorating under 200PPI and gets really bad at <100PPI. So if you want a 20" print at 300PPI you multiple the two to get 6000 pixels. The digitals that have that resolution are the full-frame ones; current cheapest one is the Sony a850 at $2k list price. Conversely, if you scanned a 35mm negative at 4500SPI (scans-per-inch) that would be 6k+ pixels, and most any pro scanner will be able to do 4000+SPI. If you're willing to print with fewer PPI (it softens the image), or if you just want small prints, then pretty much any decent digital will be enough.

Well, I've had this problem with other things, but never with cameras.
1) What's your budget? I mean, you should be able to find 35mm film cameras quite cheap, especially used. No matter whether you go film or digital, the bulk of your expense will/should be on lenses. With film, you just save on the camera and get better image quality, while with digital you save on film, developing, and scanning--more so over time.
A little over 1,000 dollars. Though, I am limited in how much I spend because I don't really have anything to pay online. Usually I ask someone I know to buy it, then I give them the cash they paid upfront. I really need to set up a paypal account. But besides that, I think the only reason why I keep leaning back towards digital is because the Rebel T2i also records video. While the video might not be as great looking as film, it's still something I could experiment with. I was, for film, looking at a Canon EOS-1N and also the EOS-1. I need to read up on them more though before I decide.
To make the resolution issue clear, whenever you print, you divide the pixel width by the print size width to get pixels-per-inch or PPI. Traditional wisdom says that 300PPI is super-sharp at arms' length while the quality starts deteriorating under 200PPI and gets really bad at <100PPI.

I don't really know when I would make prints, but if I did, I guess I would go with big prints.

Very yummy hall! I'm not the biggest WKR or Melville fan around, but you can't really go wrong with Criterion on blu-ray. I've heard the Ran blu-ray is disappointing, but I'm wondering if people weren't just expecting too much. What's this elephant sculpture?

Cameras are hard because it's a lot of money if you seriously want to get into it. I figure that I'm not getting away from my dilemma for less than $8k... yuck.
Well, see, you'd have a lot of leeway for film cameras. Like a Nikon F5, which you could probably get used for around $200-$300. It's a fantastic camera too, probably one of the best 35mm ever made this side of Leica. You could pair it with a 50mm 1.4D, or, if you wanted to save up, a 24-70mm ED. If you wanted to go 6x7, a Mamiya 7 w/80mm and 65mm or any of the Mamiya RB67s which are ridiculously cheap for such a good camera.
Now, if you want a video feature, obviously you have to go digital. Again, this is really just about how much you care about image quality and how much resolution you need. I don't want to try and talk you in to getting MORE than you need. I'm just well aware of the pros and cons in the film VS digital war. In digital, you simply pay more for more convenience, versatility, and less quality, which is no problem if you don't need the extra quality to begin with. I mean, you don't want to buy a Porsche to drive to Walmart and back, you know.
Well, how big is big to you? I figured that I'd love to print up to 4 feet if I found one shot I really loved. That's insanely big for most people who think 1 foot is a "big print".

- DUNDUNDUN!! Puella Magi Madoka Magica manga volume 1!!! Woot!! It shipped air mail so it took a little while to get. (Apparently the school they go to is normal, not futuristic like the show?)

It'd kind of depend on the shot for me. I mean, yeah, a foot would be good, but there are probably some shots that wouldn't be properly represented with that size. I'll figure it all out eventually. I'm gonna think about it over the next few days. I actually went to Best Buy today to try out the Rebel T2i, but apparently the battery was dead, so I wasn't able to. Tried a couple of other cameras, but I can't remember what they were. I'll look on ebay through the next few days to find a decent deal.

Jameson's book is new addition to my collection of "oh sweet I could probably kill somebody with this" tomes... Thank God I finally have Symposium after long fruitless search for finnish translation (which does exist, it just seems to have disappeared from this Earth apart from libraries). Zaregoto should be pretty awesome and I really want to see how NisiOisiN's prose compares to anime adaptations of Bakemonogatari and Katanagatari - both of which I digged, esp. Katanagatari. Besides, "In a single volume, NISIOISIN references both Japanese literature like Dazai and Akutagawa as well as AT fields and period dramas." sounds like stuff I'd write if I were author
Anyway, I've finally started to read through this enormous pile of books I have gathering dust right now. I'm soon done with invaluable Miyazaki's Starting Point... I'll probably next start Zaregoto (so I'm not going in order I've acquired them) because it intrigues me the most.
