Gallery: Girls Of San Diego Comic-Con 2010

Posted by Ry on Jul 26 2010 | Cool Stuff, Interesting News

This is a gallery of the cosplaying girls from this past weekend's San Diego Comic-Con. As you may or may not know, I was denied access to the convention this year for "being too drunk to stand" and telling security "my superpenis is my costume". Guilty as charged aside, Norman from Comic Vine and Tested was kind enough to lend me part of his 850+ picture gallery for your viewing pleasure. So hit the jump to see 30+ girls, then head on over to Tested to see the entire 850 picture gallery (complete with guys!). Oh -- and before you go marching off to the comments to let everyone know how much you'd do this girl or that girl (even though she has a funny looking [fill in the blank]) you have to remember: none of them would do you. That makes you a creeper. Click it. DO IT NOW.

Canon EOS 7D joins fleet in receiving firmware update to fix manual exposure movie bug

Posted by Ry on Jul 26 2010 | Technology

"Fixes a phenomenon in which the set aperture moves when shooting movies in manual exposure mode using some Canon lenses (such as macro lenses)." If you've got a 5D Mark II, 1D Mark IV, or Rebel T2i handy and have been keeping its firmware fresh, that phrase should be all too familiar; all three of those shooters have received updates in the past two months to fix such an issue, and now it's time for the EOS 7D to get a fix all its own. Our darling budding filmmakers' tool is also getting a few tweaks with AF point display and selection, and the multilingual copy editors of this world can breathe a deep sigh of relief as typos in the Spanish and Thai menus have been corrected. Well, what are you waiting for? Focus your lens on Canon's website and download away.
