| ->> hmmm...remember a few weeks ago there was that thread about loaning equipment? Anyone got some cameras they can lend me? I've got a few ideas after reading this story :) |

->> wow.. the hi-res shot of the lens getting tossed and ripping the camera body to shreds is interesting... too bad it's blurry or it would have been a REALLY neat image.

| ->> OK but assuming that the camera was blasted apart almost instantaneously, how could the camera have finished writing to the card (a slow one to boot). I think the camera still writing the picture to disk while being blown to bits is more impressive. |

->> I would like to work for the Southeast Missourian. Any company that will let you put your gear in the line of fire and get destroyed for a photo, great action shot by the way, can't be bad to work for. Don you got it made.

->> I was also thinking the same thing about what David Boily said...
Its true that on even the fastest digital camera, the write from buffer would at least be a second or two. But then I looked at the hi-res pictures again, and in the image of the camera flying through the air, the body overall seems to still be intact, and not "blown to bits" as the press release describes. The camera probably shattered upon impact with the ground after being sent back a few dozen feet from the explosion. And during it's non-stop flight to doomed fate it was able to write to the card. |

| ->> Lance--actually those cameras weren't SEMissourian equipment. Well, one was I believe. The others weren't, they were Don's and his friend's. Don had three cameras out there, all with different lenses. I talked to Don a few days ago about the incident and he's gonna try to get Canon to do some promo using the shots; hopefully they will use the images. |
