careful about mixing in cameras. there are a number of recent point and shoots that have excellent sensors. definitely gives a reason to have a small camera if youā€™re a photo enthusiast that wants to go light, like on vacation.

Like I said, they correct the issues in-camera with software, the user never sees the issue in most cases.

Even Canonā€™s Pro DSLR bodies have multiple DIGIC processors dedicated to processing and correcting for noise, lens artifacts, etc.

i guess Iā€™m not translating your point then.

Yes, there are awesome point and shoot sensors, I mean really, at this stage just about every imaging sensor (phone camera, point & shoot, dSLR) is completely amazing given how far they have come. They all still have in-camera processing power to make those images fantastic though.

Did Dan mis-speak or did he really mean that all pre-order deliveries can be expected by the end of August?

All pre-orders will be shipped by the end of August. People who ordered during the ā€œcrowdfundingā€ campaign should have theirs shipped by the end of July. People who ordered after the initial pre-order campaign still placed pre-orders (if you ordered one today it would be a pre-order.)

OK, I get that now. I always think of pre-orders as the crowdfunders but maybe the difference will sink in now.

I got led to your booth by a Glowforge rep. They are proud of all you do for them and eager to have you show off their product. It was great meeting you! Your videos are great and keep us all in the loop. Seeing your stuff in person was a fantastic experience. Please continue sharing!

Thanks so much!

Thanks so much! Iā€™m still living the dream. Not sure what my next project is though. Iā€™ve done all the things I have wanted to at the moment. Iā€™d like to explore something like the cardboard lamp or globe and work with an OnShape slicer. So many cool ideas are posted here itā€™s hard to decide whatā€™s next.

Write a list of the ideas you want.
Prioritize the list
Engrave it in slate so it is ā€˜written in stoneā€™.
Start down the list.
Promptly disregard the list and insert new projects that take your fancy.
Rediscover your list after a dozen rabbit trails.
Discard list as no longer viable/useful.
Rinse.
Repeat.

I immediately had this picture pop into my head of a list of 10 items engraved into a stone tabletā€¦ 'cause you know, @marmak3261 being a priest, my brain found it funny.

Canā€™t wait to get back home next week so I can get back to playing. Iā€™ve got a few things to spit out ready and waiting for time.

I give you these fifteenā€¦ smashā€¦ ten. ten commandmentsā€¦

I need to start committing some time to getting decent with Inkscape. I have to stick to free software for now, but I am hoping to scale up as things go. Besides, I still have an epic font to buy.
