Looking for digital SLR recommendations
MexicanDragon replied to Salt Peanuts's topic in Miscellaneous
Canon EOS-50D SLR Digital Camera Body Right at 900$ shipped. Or, go through the Amazon link from HC and get it for 10$ more Amazon.com: Canon EOS 50D 15.1MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only): Electronics If you're buying new, it seems like 40Ds are going for as much or more than 50Ds. I just nabbed a 20D and a little glass and am thrilled with it, and even though it's a bit older it still handles quite well. There is always fredmiranda.com: Specialized in Canon - Nikon SLR Cameras, Forum, Photoshop Plugins, Actions, Reviews, Hosting and Digital Darkroom if you wanted to check out the used market. Not that it may matter to anyone, but I never really liked any of the consumer (Rebel) series cameras to fit my hands at all. I always loved the feel of the Prosumer/Pro lines, even when I was looking at Nikon heavily. Now you just need what, a 430EX and to dust off those old lenses and you're good to go, right? **BRENT** -

What... like the Palm Pre that came out last summer, or the Hero, or various other SenseUI skinned Android devices. I need multitouch on my G1, right before I dump it for my HD2. Well, maybe I'll dump my BB Storm for my HD2... who knows. **BRENT**

Does this mean you're getting JH16s too? **BRENT**

BF deal was better than CJ deal by a bit. **BRENT**

You know... there needs to be another Black Friday-esque sale soon... **BRENT**

Did you guys see this? Lars the n00b found it and linked it to me a few minutes ago, and it answers a question I wanted answered without me having to wade through HF JH1x threads. I figure this guy C&P'd from an e-mail, so I'm taking this as "fact" for now.

You do realize the weight of the snow has probably exceeded the load capacity of your roof, so your roof is going to be concave now. **BRENT**

Heh. Nice. I hope to be moving out of Chattanooga in about 6 years. I would hope to South Florida so I could just drive over and steal borrow gear from Mike and Alex instead of having it shipped. **BRENT**

He's getting a y2, but IIRC, using 320 -v0 MP3. I told him last night he should use FLAC or ALAC, or just some sort of lossless. But I agree, and that's why I said to give the RS-1s a chance once the DAC comes in and use them with the amp for a month or two. **BRENT**

I believe I said something to the effect of Oh, wait, I remember what else. You are wanting to know about all these cans, but you've been listening out of your laptop's headphone out, or out of a 20$ MP3 player. I told you to wait until you get your dac and spend a couple weeks with the REAL rig with the headphones you have, and also throw down for a pair of HD580s, 600s, or 650s to compare to your RS-1s. See if you like the RS-1s with your amp/dac as opposed to just the headphone out. Then sell whichever you like the least, since you were going to dump the RS-1s anyways. Sell your MS-1s right now, as you know you don't like them. If you want portable cans, get some Senn PX100-II or just PX100. You could get Koss Porta Pros, but as many think they kinda fall in line with the Grados that you don't seem to like, then just skip them. Once you sell the RS-1s (which you seem inclined to do anyways), buy the 600s or 650s, whichever you didn't buy previously, and listen to those two cans for about a month. See which you like best. Sell the other. Then when you sell those, buy the K701s and put them up for a month or two against the 650s (which is what I figure you'll keep out of those 3). Then, in about 6-7 months when you've gone through 4 sets of cans and you kinda know what you like and what you don't like, sell all your gear (amp, dac, cans) and get JH13s or JH16s and listen out of your laptop or portable. That's pretty much what I told you last night, I just don't think you were listening. **BRENT**

I've downloaded a few things from Audible and have been listening to books lately. Snow Crash I just finished, and enjoyed, though kinda see Dan's point there at the end. Neverwhere is next on my list after I finish "Under The Dome" by Stephen King, as it was 34 hours long and I need to kill time. Ringworld was free on Audible recently through http://www.audible.com/twitfree It was pretty good. Ender's Game is something I've read multiple times, and one of my favorite books, period. Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land is classic, and I'm sure grawk would approve. There's a good list started up above. I know I have a few more to add, just can't remember them... maybe it's time to start re-reading things, no? I guess I'm just saying "x2" to about a third of the above. **BRENT**

/me applauds. I didn't see where you bought that M^3 yet, though. Was that on the last page? **BRENT**

Take a camera with you and shoot some pics to give us something to work with visually. Take a picture of the back of the house and also the back of the yard as we as we can probably throw out a few more ideas for the future developments for storage buildings, home theatre tie ins, etc. **BRENT**
