Indeed. My CF cards cost more than my body, and my lenses cost more than both combined. Isn't that they way?

I sold all my SD cards but one, a 32GB Sandisk Extreme. Should serve you nicely ;)

I doubt any new cameras under $1k use CF cards?

Welcome back Lost!

Ah, still a beta build. That would be expected then.

The text in the lower-right has been an option in builds since at least 2000. Where did you download SP1 from?

Yeah, I was specifically after it for the mic capabilities as well. Thanks for the tip on the noisy mic, but I think that is a universal problem. Do you like the triplefi? It is a bit expensive...

Looking at the SuperFi 5vi for use during my construction project. Thoughts?

No, my comment was more about the general state of controller/drive compatibility. The fact that 7 years (and countless generations of products) after SATA was created, the spec still has enough vagueness to cause basic incompatibility is ridiculous.

So you convert all the files before making your "picks"? The first thing I do is narrow it down to a hundred or so before doing any processing.

I was informed by Areca support that they don't like Samsung drives. You'd think that that kind of crap would have been sorted in the decades of standards and testing.

I've disabled offline files for everyone. I didn't find the tools or techniques to manage it satisfactory.

Interesting. When I get my gaming machine set up again I'll run some tests.

Yeah....no. I don't have that much gear, but thanks for the tips if I end up doing more of this. The lighting was nothing more than the 9 32w 4' tubes in the normal fixtures in my office, with an 80CM light tent sitting on my desk.

If it was only optimized for landscape, would it not also only be optimized for a single resolution? That doesn't make sense to me. I haven't run the benches, but I don't think there would be a hit. The main cost I see is having to go with better LCDs, so the horizontal (now vertical) viewing...

You are almost as good at spending my money as my wife... Edit: But that still has the horizontal bezel right down the middle...I still think 5 16:9 in portrait is the winner.

...and I just noticed they now sell a 680@3Ghz. I would be just a little richer if I hadn't seen that...

Sorry. 670, not 750.

I've never had a basement, either. So the massive number of 10' 2x4s will be the studs? You have 10' of height in the basement?

That is a fairly ridiculous amount of wood. How big is the deck going to be?

What is it? I could obviously use it. I still can't see the seam...

Now that Youtube has added support for 4k video, perhaps we can start the path that moves commodity LCDs from 1920x1080 to 4096 x 2304. I certainly won't mind.

That is what happens when you forget to color calibrate your new laptop screen and do the PP while the client is still there, on that screen. Take another look, and thanks for the catch.

That is pretty quick.

2:15AM. Just finished a photo shoot of a friend's jewelery. I like this one.

Brutally hard day here...really not much ability to do anything of value (like post here ;))

Yes, 18 lumens would be fine for that. I just use the LED screen of the cellphone, and that is considerably less than 18 lumens.

At least you get a trip. I'll be taking pictures of my house for a long time to come, as that is the only place I can afford to be.

Ah, so you will be exchanging it for another 7D? I thought you were returning it for something else.

Yup. I've bought a few of them. People have liked them enough to order their own for home.

Interesting. I haven't had such issues. What will you be using instead?

I live in a place where AC isn't necessary. That helps.

This is far from a "Quality" monitor, but I am impressed with it. And a 23" for <$200 is nothing to sneeze at. Acer V233HAJbd

My laptop has an i7 and a 512MB nVidia 3100M. It seems to be comparable to my i5 750 at home for basic gaming.

Wouldn't turn on? Wouldn't focus?

No permits needed yet. But that starts today, I'm meeting my contractor in 30 minutes.

Yay wall demolition. I don't know which sucks more, breathing in the drywall dust, or suffocating in the mask.

Which is the dog? 5DII? 7D? A lens?

Welcome to the 5k+ posts crowd ;) I just noticed I passed 11k. :o

Just ordered a few of the following. Should be reasonably low-power, and plenty for office work. I'll let you know how it does. MB - GIGABYTE GA-H55M-S2H CPU - INTEL CORE I3 530 2.93G 4M RAM - 2x 2GB OCZ DDR3 SSD - 40G INTEL SSDSA2MP040G2R5 CASE - ANTEC NSK2480 DVD - LITE-ON | IHAS124-04

Got ya covered, paugie ;)

We don't have many people here with Mac experience, unfortunately. But stick around, I may be wrong. And welcome!

Today was 50/1.4 appreciation day. In testing conditions, it really is (18M)pixel-sharp. In the field, maybe half that - still better than anything else I have. Also took some pictures of fireworks on the 4th that I like. Both on my Flickr if you are interested.

For most of the tests, it will help to have the drive connected to an on-board SATA port.

High 60's to low 70's here (19-22C)

None of my new motherboards even have PCI anymore, so I would aim for PCIe just to futureproof a bit.

I agree that the Intel cards are great.

All 3 of my home systems and support hardware (including 14TB of storage) combined are currently drawing 210W. It is very easy and relatively inexpensive to build a fast and energy efficient workstation.

When I've traveled for business, I've taken her with me. She isn't the clingy type, but I would love to "man up"...and she is out of town ;)

Ugh. This is the first night my wife and I have spent apart since we started dating nearly 5 years ago. Sucks.
