Umm, its a P&S with a non-removable lens. Are you looking for filters?

Tony, The Contax Tvs digital is well built, but a bit long in the tooth. I hope that it will be replaced by a more modern version with a wider lens (around 28-70mm equivalent).

There is an excellent explanation here. :D

Stereodude, Perhaps you should buy some faster CF cards. The write time would be about 6 seconds for 8-bit images or 12 seconds for 12-bit images. Since Pradeep is shooting tethered, a TIFF file option would be nice. I use the 1Ds MK II in the field and have plenty of time to convert files...

The A95 is a popular camera that I have recommended to a couple of people that don't need the compactness of the S series and prefer an optical viewfinder over the annoying electronic ones in most digital cameras. It uses standard (inexpensive) CF cards and AA NiMH cells, which is also nice...

ED is a nomenclature for Nikon lens elements that exhibit very low dispersion (reduced lateral chromatic aberration). Some other brands use the terms APO (apochromatic), LD, SLD, etc. to describe the same characteristics. (Canon includes this under "L".)

Does Gary like digital PS cameras? I thought he prefers the vintage Nikon SLR gear?

Can you be more specific in your needs and give an idea of the subject matter? If a lot of cropping is necessary then a >10 megapixel body is best, but a nice system may be out of your price range.

Wow, a 3-platter 250GB drive. Is it 2003 again? EB

There have been 5 already? I saw the first one in high school and it looked kinda cheap in parts, but was at least interesting. Remember those stupid flashlights sold at the time? I suppose they are collectibles now.

Am I the only one with zero interest?

I recently purchased a Toshiba RD-XS34. Is it possible to replace the hard drive with a larger IDE drive, or is there some funky firmware or hardware that would prevent it? (The device has a 160GB drive so LBA limits are not an issue.) Thanks.

And I suppose they could make a jpg look better than a RAW file. :eekers:

I guess that is what "creative" means. ;)

Yikes! Maybe it is better that I could not download from the link. :o

tracert

Huh?

No fast drives, then? What do you boot from, a drive with data on it?

Gary, I think you are confused. The Ultra II and Extreme cards are essentially end of life. The Extreme III is 120/133x and has replaced both the previous lines. Unfortunately it is hard to find a reader capable of 20 MB/sec.

SanDisk Ultra II or the newer Extreme III are your best bet. Lexar CF cards are notorious for poor performance compared to rated speed and strange behavior/incompatibility with Canon bodies. I sold all my Lexar cards and will not buy one again. 1GB is the minimum decent size for an 8...

Well, I have Ghost 2002 but was wondering if 2003 or 2004 was the last good version. Of course it is possible to boot from USB if the BIOS supports it. :)

I know that Symantec purchased PowerQuest a couple of years ago and read that the current Ghost is a rehash of the dreaded Drive Image 7 (I have) with its Windows PE BS recovery. Which is the last version of Ghost that runs from removable media such as flash? Thanks.

Maybe there was a screw loose somewhere? ;)

Oh, that is probably the reason. My unit is inside the computer now, so I cannot confirm the identity.

There was a long thread at SR last year about the crappy Prolific chipset. The weird thing is that I purchased a couple of the same enclosures, but they were equipped with Oxford 911s for some reason.

A rather incongruous statement all around, one might say. :D And where is the 7K400?

Old geezer?

I guess that needed an emoticon. I remember that Fujitsu announced the 120GB drives. Now they announce the next model already, but where are the available 120GB drives?

Fujitsu currently sells 120GB notebook drives?

NO. I upgradode to a 100GB 5400.2 in January. The box was labeled 7200 RPM, but the drive was 5400 RPM. I purchased another 5400.2 later in the week from a different location and noticed t5hat the box was overlabeled 5400 RPM. Maybe Seagate expected to produce 7200 drives, but who knows for...

3.2TB?

Thanks for inof. i will pass. I nver cared for the Japanes cartoon buggy eyes. Come to think of it, I don;t care for 99% of cartoons anyway.

Sorry, but dare I state that I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about? What language is the anime?

Hey, whatever happened to EBB/62000, and what about Tony/Tea/Tanin?

I'd be happy enough with a 120GB 5400 RPM drive, but the majority of users will probably desire the 100GB 7200 RPM drive. I don't expect much improvement from the current 100GB 5400 RPM drive, but the extra 20 GB will be appreciated. The 1Ds MK II's RAW files fill CF cards and hard drives at...

When? I could really use a 120GB drive by early August.

OK. I guess that is to be expected, considering that my true SR identity has not been made public.

What has Jason to do with anything? After all the bad business dealings on the internet, he is probably hiding out somewhere.

It sure has been slow lately. I even considered resurrecting my old SR persona and posting there. :o

Greg, I use Atto.

I'm still waiting for those lazy particles in the 500GB drive. ;)

Sorry about the house, but at least you did not move to Candana - wherever that is. :)

Candana? Why?

Where are you off to, Merc?

No, but I figure it can't be too high. ;) My entire career has been in R&D for science and technology, so I don't deal with consumers.

:lol: ROTFLMAO. Is that the level of customer intelligence they expect?

IIRC the WD360 is a much older drive, so 59 MB/sec. sounds about right. Did you sheck the SR database? My 400GB 7200.8 drives have a sustained read transfer rate of 70MB sec. max. Perhaps yours has lower density platters.

500,000 frames is remarkable, considering that the shutter is only designed for 200,000. I am also curious if Canon will repair it under warranty.

I've never been to Toronto, but I suppose Canada is cold compared to SoCal. ;) What if I compare Escondido to Wiesbaden? I froze my ass off one winter there. :)

Gary, In addition, I have three Sto-fens, two types of Lumiquests, two Wescott Micro Apollos, the "flying wing"; for the Sunpak 622 Super (a big flash in the Metz CT-60 class, but with interchangeable flash heads), and some homemade diffusion boxes. As you know there is no best light modifier...
