My collection

Awesome collection Ikhii! You gonna grace us with some photo sets soon?

Thanks! I can never tell when someone is joking here without a smiley face...

uhm it's an empty picture frame propped up by a white board with two valks posed to look like they're walking out of it... I would have gone for something more elegant then the board but I thought my wife would kill me if I started modifying her picture frames.

I would have bought one of the nicer compact cameras like the lumix lx3 or the canon g10 but I needed better low light performance and speed... little kids don't hold still for photos and I'm not fond of blinding my progeny. But you know, just for walk around pics and taking pictures of this hobby, cameras like the lx3 or g10 could be all that's needed.

no wonder you're looking to let go of your collection.

no, riots are legal. Protecting yourself and property from rioters is illegal.

arowanas are not illegal in California. A well known breeder, Ricky Vu, is based out of Orange County California.

if you have a ritz or real camera store near you, try there... better selection and more knowledgeable sales people. Just don't buy there, they're expensive as hell. And they can be snobs.

The film has a higher potential resolution but the quality of the particular print, projector and screen can introduce a lot of fuzz into the experience. And CG is just one of those things that translates poorly, I found. Stuff that is passable in a movie theater quickly jumps out at home.

"viewNX" it's free and windows photo gallery, though that's slow. And the camera- raw update/plugin for PS handles it as well. Personally, if you're gonna spend Sony money, get the Nikon. The only thing that the sony has over the nikon is the swivel LCD display but performance and lens selection the Nikon equivalents beat the sony hands down.

...never mind, not worth it.

Actually, i wonder what some of the older movies will look like in HD. With the LotR stuff, the HD should make the sets and props look great, but I wonder about the CG stuff and how good it will look.

Yes, I too believe that's all canon is good for. A lot of professional shooters get their equipment from them employers, wedding photographers, sports photographers, they don't own that gear, the company does. And a lot of people are basically stuck with whatever brand they made their initial investment in. A good lens can lest for decades and once someone has bought a lens that costs a few thousand dollars, they don't want to rebuy that lens because they decide to jump ship. Between the two companies, Canon is generally considered more cutting edge while Nikon's philosophy was more of, "we'll wait to do it right". So typically you'll see canon with more megapixels, or incorporating features like image stabilization first and nikon following a year or so after. Also, canon researches and makes their own sensors while Nikon gets theirs from Sony. But to back up nikon's, "we do it right" claims, nikon generally gets the nod for better image quality between them and sony, even though the sensor is the same. Just more refined programming and implementation in the Nikon. For the last couple of cameras, Canon has been beating Nikon in megapixels while Nikon has been beating Canon in ISO performance. What I suggest, and this is what i did, I suggest either renting or borrowing the two cameras you're considering. And walk around all day and shoot with them. When you're not stuck with legacy lenses, you can make a decision based purely on what you feel more comfortable with. Like the user interface and the ergonomics of the camera. My wife loves the more contoured grip of canons while I don't care for their button layout and UI. MacrossMan, for the AF motor, you need to jump up to the D70/80 line and prices for body only start around 800$.

you need to fiddle with that slider. at 1mm or so from the final position the the little tab locks on the cockpit will hold against the fuselage and keep it in place. Still not completely solid but it won't flip around or tip back and forth if you're not actively pressing down or manipulating the cockpit.

the ones on the wings extend panels out to lock the wings in place in GERWALK.

lol. Awsome, now just tack on some missiles to the tail fins.

I gotta agree, this is the best valk toy yet. All the little sliding panels and what not, how easy it is to transform, the elegant solution to the arm placement in fighter mode. Just a great toy.

I'll try

Thanks for the compliments guys! I just got my big box o'toys from OD and the kid is occupied with his Thomas toys, so opportunity seized! Some stompy stompy destroid fun:
