  3. I have had good experience with Shutterfly. Recently I have used both CVS and the local Walmart for digital prints. They recently upgraded their equipment and I was surprised how good the results were.
  4. Aye, I remember you saying that Reks. There's nothing wrong with cameras having great high ISO performance. My next (dream) camera is the D700S, for that very reason. My 30D's upper-ISO performance is weak, so I've developed a technique to work around it. I was more taking issue with Ironed Reamer thinking he's going to win any pissing contests with camera specs alone.
  5. Tom Servo and Crow, from MST3K.
  6. ...wow. If 909 started out the day losing face on head case, Aerius just ensured he got it back. He's like a rodeo clown.
  7. Didn't someone on here estimate the 307A was 3x the cost of parts? Or was it 6? Whatever value it was, ISTR it was considered low-to-average for high end audio. I'd imagine that the cost-of-parts-to-retail-price ratio of this new $10K beast is similar.
  8. $500 brake job for the Subaru. FML.
  9. 5-digit ISO settings are fun, but for me the challenge is to shoot available light in EV0 conditions with a 3-digit ISO, sometimes with an F/4 zoom. 35mm F/2, 1/80th, ISO320. Just a warm-up shot. 50mm F/1.8, ISO320 1/10th of a second handheld. Timed to catch one of the flashes from the nightclub's pair of 1000W strobes. 17-40L @ 22mm, F/4, ISO800, 1/5th of a second handheld. 35mm F/2, ISO200, 1/60th. Kind of ironic that the shot I'm posting with the fastest shutter speed has the most motion blur. 17-40L @ 22mm, F/4, ISO800, 1/5th of a second handheld. 17-40L @ 22mm, F/4, ISO800, 1/6th of a second handheld. 17-40L @ 17mm, F/4, ISO500, 1/0th of a second handheld. This shot was difficult for two reasons: besides keeping the camera steady, I had to capture the DJ while he was holding relatively still. I could go on, but you get the point.
  10. ISO3200 looks really good on the D90. I am jealous. BRB, knocking over a liquor store so I can afford a D700.
  11. and1!
  12. I just got Clementine working on the lappy. It's playing back FLACs, sending scrobbles to last.fm and sucking a lot less than Play does (which is not exactly difficult.) Even after selecting "always open FLACs with Clementine" in the finder, double clicking is still not working right. That's a relatively minor issue, however.
  13. Did you have any Tim Allen "Home Improvement" moments, Salty?
