Aeracode :: On Django And Migrations - South core libraries may move to the Django core in the near future (possibly targeting Django 1.4). I approve. Having the basis for migrations already in the Django core would not only be helpful for migrations but also for projects that require higher dynamics in the data models - my current hack with sqldiff and some self-made code is just that: a hack. It's probably time to take a closer look at South (so far only briefly looked at it, but what I've seen I liked) and consider whether I should already now put my hack on a more powerful basis.

Mamiya announces RZ33 medium format camera - well, if I had 18,000 US dollars to burn, that would certainly be a charming way to do it. Mamiya's medium format optics are of the highest quality and the RZ series is a very solid system. Okay, the RB has even more charm, but packing so much digital technology into a mechanical device is only Leica. There have been digital backs that can be attached to the RZ for quite some time, but a completely integrated system is of course even more beautiful. Interesting that Mamiya, in times when medium format is moving more towards smaller systems (their own 6x4.5 system, Pentax with its announced digital system, Hasselblad with the Fuji cooperation H1), is once again building one of the really big ones. Great. Even if I won't have 18,000 US dollars to burn in the near to medium (and probably even distant) future ...
