Nice and interesting, as usual. Thanks.
Oleg, I can see your camera is a Canon S90. A good choice!

Its not my camera. I got this one in office of Canon for testing. Of course I was simply interested to test it. Sometime I do such tests and post then results on my photosite.
However I'm user of professional DSLR cameras, most often Nikons (currently D300 for undewater and more D700 for all purposes). Still using some time middle flim format Rollei twin reflex, which I have aleady more than 20 years in use.
Compact cameras ase not my choice I can use them occasionally only.

He he, my father has an impressive collection of cameras - but he always talks fondly about his Rollei Reflex cameras (and for some reason his old Minox 1970:ies pocket cam)

I'm a rookie user myself with a D80, but it fills my needs (a D300 would be nice though). I'm actually going to buy a new camera this very afternoon for party shooting and quick movies of my kids (going for a Panasonic Lumix TZ7 that seems like a perfect pocket camera with good movie/still combo). A fat SLR camera is not always the right choice

I have also good collection of old film cameras. Its a bit more than 100.

Panasonic Lumix TZ7 - is a good camera with loooong zoom. Many of my firends like it.
However, I presonally woud prefer Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX1 due to outstanding quality of the high ISO output with low grain. And as I understand you don't need RAW format or some manual modes....
Just try to compare images between two these cameras. The price for both is comparable.
I would by this Sony myself for the same puposes, but abcense of some manual modes and RAW format stop it.... HD movie for kids is also present in that sony

+1. I could kill for a beautiful shot of the hurricane........(now where's the drool emoticon?)

I never reply to wish posts - until now. The Hurricane! Some preview shots would be wonderful. Sydney Camm's finest. The plane that for me perfectly catches the evolution from biplanes to monoplanes.

Dear Oleg,

Just to get back to topic, I've asked back here about the max number of planes that will be handled at the same time on the map. I hope it will be in the hundreds, rather than in the tenths ...

Background:

- Historical BoB saw raids of some 950 German planes
- Il2 limitations do not allow to have more than few dozens planes on a map
- Games like BoB WoV did a good job in handling large masses of planes

Thank you,

Insuber
