Forget about a PnS still camera if you want video (unless ur willing to spend $1500 for the Panny GH-1 4/3rds system). Go with a dedicated camcorder, not that consumer/prosumer camcorders are anywhere near as capable/easy to use in the experienced hands as real entry level pro camcorders...

Huh, it's default, therefore it's important...can u say non- sequitur? Isn't 8k default bs on FAT32? Not important for Mac OS X, HFS+ is superior to FAT32 :cooler: 512k is set as 'default' for a DB, certain DB software....and "it's important"...er maybe, depends :p...

As I blast through the 1k post mark (gotta get me post/day ratio up to 0.4 :p ) I would say, the nanny state would look down on your project, at least in LA Cty. Maybe it's different up there, but there a codes that must be adhered to, you'd need an licensed electrician to do this work. Since...

Considerably more, as in how many extra $$$, U mean the 5dmkII don't ya? ur main cost, unless ur happy w/kit lens, will always be the lenses on a dslr- bodies are replaceable/upgradable part of the system. Besides, switch to Nikon is not going to cost anymore than the needed upgrades to ur...

Yay, maybe this will be the last of the 1D crop-factor from Canon as rumored, meebe then we'll finally get something useful like a <$1k FF sensor Rebel or xxDs :p? Let's celebrate the end of the 1D!!! LOL, LM ...I was wondering how many minutes after midnight it would take 4 the Canon fanboi...

@BBnow on their Mac Mini, lol S90 case is super slippery, don't like :P syncmaster p2370 is kind of nice :), Mac Mini keyboard? Sucks big time!

all depends on how bright you need it, how narrow/throw or wide/flood light you need. Also how uniform you want the beam to be. If U have plenty of time to wait (dd <:rotfl: ), jtr might be able to build U a custom light for pretty cheap. I'm having jtr build me a brighter version of a 3AAA...

Going on emotion, rather than budget...'cost-to-own' ? dd can 'afford' to do that, in your budget range, you have to be selfless if children are involved. When you have more money, enough to cover all potential repair costs, or move up to a CPO with good warranty terms, then you can shop based...

S4 or an S line, will cost you 2x whatever the cost of the car is in repairs, regular wear maintenance that is *not* covered under any warranty. Do a search of audi forums, find out what it could "cost-to-own", ticket price has little to do with cost of ownership (<go read edmunds, U have HS net...

I was doing a search on airless bike tyres bcuz jtr has them, and I thought about getting some since I don't do much on street riding, and hate getting flats when I do. Would be a PITA to repair flats if I ever get over knee injuries I have now, and use the bike to ride up the Mt. Baldy canyon...

If U wanted a bargain, U should have started looking earlier, when you had more time, say 6mo ago. Now U're going to have to settle for something less than you wanted...or find a way to increase you're budget to $5k or more. @$5k you'll find more options, lower mileage vehicles *if* U are...

wicked I want one, young Korean babe to go, also :D ? Unlike slacker Canon and their unimpressive S90is which doesn't even do decent HD video, Samsung is innovating. Announced for Korean mkt only...for now, next year international version ships :)...

LOL, *all* USA OTA providers were *required* to stop broadcasts on the analog frequencies which were being transferred for use to other services/needs. All OTA in the USA is HD, by FCC requirements...we're you watching TV or reading the threads here :p ? As far as what the websites and...

Never. When Winblows ver 8 is a better clone of Mac OSX, I may get it for my next Mac laptop. Right now, since my laptop can't run OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard (that which Winblows 7 tried to be) I'm sticking with OSX 10.5.x. I'll get a new Intel CPU'd Mac laptop...in a few years, after decent...

CostCo has Energizer pre-charged, made in Japan, 2k ma AA's 8 to a package + 2 800ma AAA's @$18.97. Since I was already there for something else, I bought those. I'll only buy Sanyo Eneloops for specific high-drain uses like LED flashlights...everything else I'm buying the lowest price I can...

Ok, so that's ur justification for why they suck? :p But seriously, you can't pull a rabbit out of a hat like Bullwinkle. The genius behind the Oly OM-1 died this summer and none of you poser photogs even mentioned it! There were the rumors, "larger sensor" for both Nikon and Canon. Turns...

LOL, 80GG is too little; I'd wait for the 320GB if I was interested in Intel. Right now I'd go for Vertex Turbo with new firmware in 256/250GB size (give performance is similar, better writes, etc compared to 2 gen Intel HH gives the 'editors choice' to, even if the cost/GB is higher)...

I decided I need to get a good custom insole worn in before I get new boots. I've been using a broken pair (front part broke off leaving essentially a 3/4 footbed, for last year, now even rear is splitting apart) in 3 pairs of shoes over the last 5+yrs. These are a spare pair that went into my...

Well while I'm waiting for that image to load on my ultra slow dialup, I can see it's in bright outdoor light. I want to see what ISO400 or so looks like inside a restaurant using the 28mm f2.0 setting. I only need a 600pixel width image for that. Ah crap, FF doesn't have a rotate image...

Wow, what an over simplification and clearly a rant by someone who doesn't want to look at the information available to anyone. "All it takes"? Sure, like that's going to happen? Fine, someone who is a major shareholder can drop out of Apple, and smart money will buy up those shares...which is...
