Agreed. Definitely pushing only his stock and not necessarily looking for the best fit for you.

Good luck with the interviews Brian. Relax. You've been through this before with the exams and you'll be fine.

If you want it I'm sure the job will be yours.

Congrats on the new gig Jacob. I see a Prestige in your future.

~Happy Birthday~ and glad you're back home.

Congratulations! Being an uncle is way cool.

They're all drive offs in Ohio any way, aren't they? Came home with the Canon s95 today.

Nice comparison of the xz-1, s95, lx-5, g12 & tl500 http://kimletkeman.blogspot.com/2011/02/olympus-xz-1-versus-canon-s95-canon-g12.html

Thanks for the comments and the tip on the grip. It looks great and I have big hands, so practical.

I saw and handled three mirrorless cameras including the Nex-5. All three had their virtues but none met my definition of pocketable. Should be a nice camera for you Dan. Larry, I've pretty well decided to go tomorrow to get an S95. Some nice looking images posted at http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=926669. Truth is I don't think you can go wrong with either the LX-5 or the s95. They're both nice cameras.

Charlie Parker and Oscar Peterson. Thanks!

Been looking for something that is highly portable but takes acceptable photos. Since portability is key that ruled out the DSLRs, mirrorless and bridge cameras. Enter point and shoots. I've never owned one. I realize the image quality isn't going to be the same as my DSLR, but everything is a compromise. The Fuji f300 looked like a nice option at it's price point but after seeing some photos from it that really isn't going to work. Enter the Canon s95. The photos seem more than acceptable for a P&S and I think it will be a nice option. Looked like the Panny LX-5 would also work well but that 2.0 aperature on the Canon is calling and the Panny is larger and has the lens cap to contend with. I really need something I can put into my pocket and carry with me. Any downside to the s95 other than it's a P&S? Better options for small form factor and good images?

~Happy Birthday~

~Happy Birthday Gents~ Enjoy your day.

Thanks all!

Good news Mike.

I have Amarra Mini and haven't noticed the noises you're referring to. You have probably done this, but any time I have an issue with Amarra I remove it from my system and then reinstall. If you have a demo unit I don't know that you can do a reinstall. It has been a work in progress. When Amarra works I really like it. I like the sound reproduction and it's nice to have it play different bit rates automatically. EQ settings generally make sense if you choose to experiment with them. My current issue is that it won't play AIFF downloads from HD Tracks. They have been working on a "fix" for the past few weeks. I just ran into an issue converting from FLAC to ALAC. I've owned it for a few months and don't think it has ever just worked with out some bug. Guess I"m paying for the privilege of beta testing.

I'm not sure you're in the right forum then.

~Happy Birthday~

~Happy Birthday~ Lived an entire half century You're still almost a decade behind me

Odd, a chiropractor (kinesiologist) is the only one who has been able to help me with a couple of health issues .... after years of bitching as MDs and DOs. We'll have to agree to disagree again.

~Happy Birthday lads!~
