    Aperture is still horked, kerbusted, and fracked with lastest ProKit update

    I was hoping the changes in the Prokit update today would fix the Aperture problems. Nope. In fact it seems worse.

    Check this out. Some of my images are actually corrupted in Aperture. Actually, I think its the preview in the Aperture library, but still. Come ON, people! This is with the Nikon d70s RAW format. I’ve also seen this happen with my Panasonic Lumix RAW files. At least I think I have. Regardless, the work around here is to convert these to DNG and reimport them. For @#$% sake.

    Thinking about a new point and shoot camera?

    Here’s a great overview of what is coming out in 2008.

    Sigma DP1 Camera (not released yet)

    On paper, the Sigma DP1 looks great. Shoots RAW. Has aperture priority, shutter priority, and manual modes. Has a huge, supposedly SLR sized, sensor. Has different metering modes. I may have to pick one of these up when it hits the shelves.
