Pidora 18 is fedora 18 for raspberry pi

Looks like you can run fedora on the raspberry pi now.  I'm using the SD card that was in raspberry pi with my new camera. I have a 8 GB card I could use, or a 4 GB card, depending on how much space pidora needs. But I probably won't do anything, don't have any use for raspberry pi.

I should sell my raspberry pi, but I'm not using eBay for selling stuff anymore. Fees are too high. Wouldn't get much for it anyways.

Olympus PEN E-PM1

The flash is kind of useless with the default settings, so if you're incompatible of changing settings, the Olympus PEN E-PM1 probably isn't for you. I have it saving a jpeg and a raw file. I have the flash intensity set at 1.7. Plan on getting a better flash eventually. Sent the money I got from Chromebook to mom, and she ordered the camera for me. Owe her more money now, will pay her back next month. I had the flash intensity at 3, but that was too much. I'll be getting the Nissin Speedlite Di 466 FT Four Thirds Digital Flash for Olympus and Panasonic Cameras eventually. Noise ninja seems to work better with raw images in AfterShot Pro. I wouldn't say the Canon 20D is better, only if you can't edit pictures.

Still haven't read the manual.

Did eBay raise the fees?

I only sold one thing on eBay, and I owe $14.49. Don't remember the fees being that high last time I sold stuff on there. Won't be putting anything else on eBay. Good thing they won't be taking the money out till the end of the month. If they did now, I wouldn't have ten dollars in the bank for Chase's pathetic fee. 

Canon 20D or Olympus PEN E-PM1?

The Canon is older, and has less MP. But I'm not printing anything so megapixels doesn't matter that much. Some reviews say the Olympus isn't good in low light. But I'm guessing it'd be fine with the flash on. No live view on the Canon, but I don't really care about that. No video with the Canon either though. But I don't take many if any videos. Still have my Panasonic, which can take video. Olympus doesn't appear to have any cheap lens, the cheapest lens that will work with it, that I can find is $200. It's a Sigma 19mm f2.8 DN Lens (Micro FT). The Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Camera Lens is only $110, if Canon had the refurbished lens in stock, you could get it for $50.

No idea how much my grandpa would want for his Canon 20D, so the Olympus could be cheaper. If I bought the Canon I'd probably want to buy the three lens he's letting me use, and the battery grip. Might as well buy the extra batteries too.

Update
Will probably get the Olympus, since my grandpa has no opinion on it. Won't be able to get it for $189 + $9 shipping on eBay, either be sold out, or it'll end before I have enough money. Grandpa probably doesn't want to sell his old camera anyways.

Finally put Chromebook on eBay

Put my Chromebook that I don't use on eBay. Should be in pretty good condition, since I don't use it. Put a buy it now for $130, and $15 shipping. I made sure to say economy shipping, so they can't complain if it takes ten days.

That dog hair on curtains should attract buyers.

Forgot about the scratches on the back. Ahh well might have to lower the price.

Update
Sold even with the scratches. Now I just have to wait for them to pay, which they probably won't do. And they paid. 

Might get a Canon 20D

Borrowing my grandpa's Canon 20D, he said he might sell it to me. 8 MP is good enough for me, especially considering I don't print anything. Even if I wanted to print something 8 is probably plenty.

Should of lowered the ISO when I was outside, there's some but not much noise on some of the pics I took today.

A new Canon DSLR, would have 18 MP at least, all that would do for me, is use up more space on my computer and memory card. Yeah you can probably tell the camera to shoot at less MP, but then what would be the point in getting a 18 MP camera?

Not getting a lens changing camera or maybe I will

To lazy to change lenses. I guess it might be alright, if you never change the lens.

They do take nice pictures though... 

Maybe I'll get the Olympus PEN E-PM1, and never change the lens.
