Next report from the ground:
Went to a gig in New Cross tonight. Had no trouble there - except finding the venue - but there was a disturbance down the road in Eltham. It was an EDL rally type thing that apparently was dispersed without much effect.
Got a lift back and travelling through central London we saw a few Devon & Cornwall Police vans but no trouble. Oh, and we got bagels in Brick Lane. Wouldn't know if it was quieter than normal because we usually go there later.
You're not being very helpful Peter.
But then you wouldn't would you, if you're TRYING TO DISGUISE YOURSELF AND GO AROUND KNOCKING DUSTBINS OVER. :-@
I think it's one van for Devon, one for Cornwall, and one reserve in case Farmer Moorlock's Land Rover brakes down while on a day trip and needs towing.
And there were no Peter sightings. I don't go looking for men's todgers...oh wait, not /those/ sort of Peter sightings. No,didn't see him either.
It's so they can shoot RAW and have a better argument against "wusnae me. You just photoshopped me in that pic, innit"
Ah yeah, that makes sense and now that you mention it I remember reading a few years ago how Nikon (and presumably Canon) make special versions of their cameras for law enforcement that have additional security and integrity stuff.
also:
That article comes of as slightly preachy, and is also mistaken when it says raw files are a read-only format. While for most purposes that's true, there's nothing inherent in the format that makes it unmodifiable – if you can read the data and translate it into an image, you can do the reverse.
Looks most like a D3000, which is bottom of the range.
Is that still going to have better low-light performance than a decent compact?
Well, unless it is a special police-only version that just uses the same shell but has better internals.
