If you think that existance is just suffering, then I suppose the it is glamorous to burn out rather than fade away. But if you figure out how to enjoy your time here, then it isn't so bad and you want to stay awhile. I've spent a little time on either side of the fence, but I totally agree with you Lowell. I'm hoping to be here for a while.
Just make sure you're comparing apples to apples (i.e., is it shipped with the lense like the B&H offer or is it just the body). That is a sweet Nikkor lense with a great range.
Catbirdseat, I will translate Squid's post for you :
He wants the picture for his own profile/avatar. But he doesn't want to have that little text in the animated loop. So, please, someone, edit it out for him. /end translation
Sandisk card write speeds:
Extreme III SD card=20MB per second (133x)
Ultra II SD card + 10MB per second (66x)
this is based on their own internal testing.
they don't list the performance of their standard card (the blue ones) but I've read somewhere that they are ~3MB per second write.
so obviously, depending on how big of files your camera is writing, then it could have an impact on your ability to write continous frames to the disk.
The Nikon D70, which has been around for a while can do 3fps.
D70 body with a 18-70 DX zoom Nikkor lense for 1030.00 at B&H. (minus $100 rebate) = $930.00
B&H is a reputable outfit, my dad has dropped many dimes there.
last I checked, air america isn't the leader of the United States.
have you ever watched Jon Stuart's show? remember when he went on the "news debate show" and ripped them a new one? they actually accussed him of not being a responsible news reporter either. and he is a comedian.
you should seriously consider becoming a standup.
bombing those with dissenting opinions from your own doesn't work so well with a democracy (or even joking about it when you're basically the most power ruler in the world). but it is great comedy, isn't it?
