Two DSLR's fail on a single spacewalk? What kind of crappy hardware you got there? Should have stuck a little P&S in a pocket as a backup. NM > Two DSLR's fail on a single spacewalk?

Just Me. I was watching real-time NASA TV of the spacewalk where they were inspecting the SARG rotary joint. When it came time to take pictures of the metal filings inside the SARG the camera locked up and wouldn't work. The other spacewalker was way on the other end of the station and so both astronaghts translated half way to hand off the other camera which didn't have a flash. When spacewalker got that camera back to the SARG area it wouldn't work either. So: No pictures of the damage to the SARG.

Or a nice chunky Hasselblad 500EL. >> Two DSLR's fail on a single spacewalk? >> [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >> > Or a nice chunky Hasselblad 500EL. The problem with the Hasselblad is they could only see the pictures after they landed. Not what they need.

So, they could take a free-fall qualified mini-lab. >>> Two DSLR's fail on a single spacewalk? >>> [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > John Passaneau They can take along a developing tank and develop the negatives on board then use their TV cameras to transmit the images to Earth. |
