Me too, and it was in B&W.

Well, f*ck me. The computer restarts about 4 seconds after shutdown! I hate trying to build a system from the parts. :( I've not tried to tackle the SATA issue yet.

The image looks like it has already been sharpened and then up-rezzed.

Bozo Dies.

XPP SP2 does not like my old SATA system and wants drivers from a floppy disk during installation. Of course I have no floppy disk. :( I searched some articles on the net, and it seems to be a common problem. Unfortunately, answers are either the obvious (buy a floppy drive) or too...

Not I. I was not complaining about the web sized image. It is fine for the purpose. However, some images are just not the right subjects for the web. It is not unlike the difference between shooting for gallery prints compared to shooting for stock.

Customers are actually using their notebooks and the ambient temperature is not 20 °C everywhere? How shocking. :) A pinhead beancounter probably calculated only 4 hours of use per day or something, and the cheapie chips were designed to function just long enough for the warranty period.

I tried a converter on the Seagate 750GB drive. Sometimes the data was corrupted, e.g. greek letters and symbols appeared in the folder names. :(

Why not? I opened the page and there was a large red button with instructions, "Do Not Press." I did not press said button. I closed the browser window. How difficult is that?

The WD 320GB 7200RPM drive is out now.

I would not use an SSD in my notebook, and there is no power problem in a desktop. :)

I have no RAID card, just a bunch of controllers with 2 SATA ports and a good number on the motherboard. :( I wish there were a simple PCI-E card with 4 internal and 4 external SATA ports.

When people that don't know sh*t read something about it on the internet. ;)

The DOF is not changed when a tilt lens is used.

I have a couple of the old 750GB Seagate IDE drives which are working fine. There is no easy replacement as there are no larger PATA drives available and too many SATA drives in the computer already.

Unless the D700 has more than 12 MP what is the big deal in a 2008 body?

It is useful for some particular purposes, but I have been using PS for that since the 90s. Ideally the DOF of each frame should overlap. Major differences in focus distance will create artifacts from the difference in viewing angle/magnification and often look unnatural as well. Make sure to...

Interestingly, the retail Maxtor 1TB drive is made in China and has a shorter warranty than the Seagate drive. Are the Maxtor and Seagate drives different in design and construction?

Definitely you should keep the original in any event. Nero Digital was an MP4 IIRC.

Good luck on that. :roll: I bought 3x8GB EX3 (2008 model) and have yet to receive a rebate. I'm not expecting it given the wretched feedback on the recent SanDisk rebates.

I have been using the WD 320GB 5400 RPM drive for months now. The Samsung 500GB M6 has higher average STR than that. The chart does not show the max, but the Samsung should be similar or in the mid-70 MB/sec. range if the WD drive is proportional. Either is fine for practical use. I suppose...

I recommend a full height MiniScribe. :) However, a Bigfoot might be more apropos.

OK, 500GB!

Hey, let's send David out there with an old Technika V and a half-dozen film holders. :)

:) It is only a small pile since they are 250-320GB ea. I am waiting for the 500 MB Samsung M6 to arrive in volume and at a stable price.

Sometimes discretion is the better part of valor.

I have nearly 2.5TB of WD notebook drives. :o

I resemble that remark. :)

Sharpening for the web is generally done at 0.3 after resizing. Some images that look appropriately sharpened on CRTs look oversharpened on LCDs. It can help to sharpen asymmetrically to emphasize the dark side, or use a reasonable adaptive sharpening technique instead.

I have a bunch of useless 160GB and smaller PATA notebook drives that I will never use for anything again. It happens when technology moves on.

I don't mean for business. Work computers of any type are useless to me due to lack of admin rights. Personal notebooks are limited by the size that fits in with my other gear. Any of the Thinkpads I'd want are too large.

Lucky b*stards, I wish I could use one of those Thinkpads.

Now it is the end of June. :blue:

14-bit RAW is often rather useless because it kills the framing rate. LCD display, live view and dust reduction are not important either.

Oh boy. I'd like to hear Tony's take and that of the other Australians.

RIP George. The world is a sadder place. :cry:

Color looks pretty good. The fill is excessive and blue, and the overall exposure is over, which is rather common with the limited headroom on a P/S. At least you did not drag the shutter. If you do a lot of early/late fill flash try a 1/8 or even 1/4 CTO gel over the built-in flash. I...

Apparently the concept of honor roll has changed a lot since the 60s-70s. :o

The D300 is less heavy without the grip. :) Have you used the 1Ds or 1Ds MK II? Try holding one with the 500/4 for a while and compare that with the D300 sans grip + 200-400. The MK III bodies have lithium ion battey packs and are therefore somewhat lighter than older 1D series.

I'm amazed how lazy - to think 220 is not enough! What are you doing continuously all that time that you cannot take a few seconds to change cards? Ever change a film back with a dark slide? Quality is more important than quantity. In the old days a dozen 4x5s seemed like plenty for one...

Yes, thousands of people. It's like asking if you have ever had a hard drive fail. A home user with only a drive or two at one time may never have a failure. Of course you know better than that when seeing large numbers. The top tier cards such as SanDisks may have lower failure rates, but...

My system takes forever to recognize all the add-in cards before the OS even starts. :(

So far, so good. :)

I reboot about 3-5 times a day. No concerns about uptime here. :)

How old are the students?

Current monitor is less than 3 years old, but I'm hoping it will last for a very long time as a second system monitor after being repaired. The yellow line is present for the first few minutes only. I could live with the defect indefinitely if necessary, but warranty expires in November.

No, I'm only considering larger displays now. I hope the next one lasts a half lifetime.

Back in the days there were maybe 5 kinds in the local drug store, all of which were behind the counter.

...and perhaps the most illiterate. How can a country be obese?
