    It is definitely advisable to wait at least 3 months after release. Canon has been foisting half-baked products on the market and letting the buyers do the beta testing for far too long now. :( I also advise you to buy more prime lenses and a larger bag. Canon's wide zooms are sub-par @21MP...

    SSDs - State of the Product?

    Bah. I was not able to install the CS4 demo on a workstation PC. There was no explanatory message other than that there was an error. I was able to install it in a notebook, so the downloaded files are good. Is Adobe becoming as sloppy as MS? I really don't want to spend $500+ for an...

    I removed one of the 320GB drives for use in the computer. At the time the OEM 320 GB drives were not available alone so I bought the Passport and removed the drive. (That was the older Passport before they split the line.) The other 4x250Gb and 2x320GB Passports are used normally.

    I have quite a few of the WD Passport drives and there are no problems. I even pulled one and used it in the laptop for several months. I've had more dead Hitachi and Seagate notebook drives. They're all cheap crap as far as I'm concerned.

    I don't work in a high security area. The data center and document control areas are off limits, but boring areas to be in anyway. Locking the computer in the heavy duty cabinet every night is enough for now.

    Apparently I should wait on the 1.5TB Seagate drive. Is there simply a firmware issue or is it something more sinister?

    So you ditched that expensive 3xRAID SSD setup already? How does the Intel SSD compare with one Velocirapor for heavy write and read activities like stitching?

    My current PCIe graphics card will not run the 2536x1600 resolution. :( What can I order today from the NewEgg? I need one that is relatively low power/low fan noise and only takes up one slot (no huge fan). I will never need any 3D performance. The video card also needs to work right out of...

    :( You guys beat me to it. The first I learned of Crichton was seeing the Andromeda Strain. That was in the theatre, back in 1971. It was an excellent film for the time. (For the kids out there, Apollo 14 had returned from the moon as few weeks prior.) I started reading his novels a few...

    Why does it need to be in 32-bit mode again? Most printers are only good for 7 bits anyway.

    PTGUI should be fine for that, though I've not tried 32-bit space. Output is usually done to .psb if files are large.

    dSLR thread

    It has very poorly placed AF zones like the 5D, making it difficult or unsuitable for some action and has too many MP. I would have much preferred 16.7 MP with better mid- and high-ISO performance. Canon seems to be in reaction mode now and following the market.
  50. LunarMist

    dSLR thread

    I don't know. PTGUI is a fine tool for stitching. HDR usually degrades images quality much more than stitching, so perhaps the software does that part prior to the stitching. Perform a test of different software using a small data set before working on the large images.
