    New camera.

    As in the post above, the 40D is spec'd above the D80. In terms of specification the D40 isnt as good as the 400d but its not as expensive (the D40x is more comparable). They're all great cameras though, it all depends on what you stick on the front of it in reality!

    New camera.

    I tried both the Nikon D40 and Canon 400D. Went for the Canon, I just thought it was the better product, and I personally managed to get better pics from the Canon. Horses for courses I guess. The Cannon 400D is much better spec'ed as well. The D80 is more comparable, but its about £200 more...

    Blu-Ray vs HD-DVD @ CES

    Lol, I'm not, I couldnt care less about either system! The only reason I have a 360 at the mo is because I prefer the games on it. Once this Bd / HD war is over I may buy a PS3 to play BD's, and by that point it'll have some decent exclusives - not to replace the 360 but so that I have best of...

    Blu-Ray vs HD-DVD @ CES

    You know you can set the 360 up to boot to the dash without loading anything? Then you can go straight to what you want to do first. Its in console set up. Boots in seconds including logging into live. All this brand loyalty 'slagging off' going on on this thread is a bit sad, you'd think...

    Warner go Blu-Ray exclusive

    ^ Its important to remember that sky HD is not 'full' HD (and I dont mean 720 / 1080 p), while it looks better than an SD dvd, it doesnt look as good as an actual BD / HD DVD disc. Not that I'm trying to defend them, they brought on this format war so I hope they both die a quick death. Then...

    Warner go Blu-Ray exclusive

    ^ Fine for your casual viewer, but not your average movie buffs!

    Warner go Blu-Ray exclusive

    I'd rather have the product in my hand, but I'm a movie enthusiast. The people who dont give a toss are the ones that download it, watch it once then forget about it. I have so many films I'd need the worlds biggest HD to store them. Then what if the data got corrupted? You'd lose your entire...

    How quick is a clio williams?

    Around a track, it will. The 1*2's are compromised for the sake of safety / added comfort. Its like comparing a mk1 Golf GTI to a mark 3. Almost... I've driven so many performance cars, and drive various high performance cars everyday, from BMW 335's / 535's to Octavia VRS's and the Willy, a...

    How quick is a clio williams?

    A Cliosport 172 has 156 bhp per tonne (182 will be about the same, give or take a couple of horses over the weight ratio) a Williams is 155, so there is absolutely NOTHING in it in a straight line. Lol at those pulling 6 car lengths on a Williams, no chance! A Williams handles better though...

    Is anyone good at sharpening photos please?

    Incidently, whats grandma up to with her hand? I despeckled it via photoshop and it looked clearer and smoother again, but for some reason it wasnt letting me cut and paste the edited version??

    Is anyone good at sharpening photos please?

    Problem is, as soon as you sharpen it you bring out the 'noise' in the picture and it looks awful. There's only so much you can do with a bad picture but you are prob best leaving it as is. I've had a go but I only make it look worse, lol!

    PS3 or XBOX 360??????

    Dont buy the PS3 based on GT5. You'll soon be bored of it after a couple of months, when you get to a point where you are racing for 30 laps in the front all on your own for ages on end just as in GT 1, 2, 3 and 4! Pessimism aside it will be a supurb game but wont be the be all and end all...

    Blue Clio near Aberdeen :(

    Why do people think ABS is a magic invulnerability device? I've never owned a car with ABS and (touch wood) I've never crashed any of them. All it does is help you steer while you brake, if you go into a corner at life losing speed all the ABS in the world still wont help you.

    stolen car or stolen reg plates, not happy!!

    ^^^ I very much doubt it, as the police do not need an 'excuse' (or rather, reason) to pull over a vehicle and have a look at it. Why would they specifically want to pull you, is your car falling to bits? Sounds like either the plates were stolen from it at some point and / or the car has...

    Valvers - Fuckin awesome!!!!! :D

    Re: Valvers - f**kin awesome!!!!! :D ^ I didnt **** the mk 2 off, I just gave the reasons why I chose the Willy over the 172, which were simply my opinion and other people will have other opinions which I accept. I did add IMO to the end. I like 1*2s and in some other areas are the better...

    Valvers - Fuckin awesome!!!!! :D

    Re: Valvers - f**kin awesome!!!!! :D ^^^ I wasnt referring to the cars in the thread starters post, only the silly remarks people are making about the Williams, which needed to be put into perspective.

    Valvers - Fuckin awesome!!!!! :D

    Re: Valvers - f**kin awesome!!!!! :D Lol at this, its pathetic! So I'll join in... When I bought my Willy over 3 years ago, I had the choice between that (mint and TOTALLY standard with only 34k on the clock) or a nearly new 172 with about 15k on the clock. Willy cost less. Drove both, went...

    this is going to sound silly...

    Indeed. And not only that, the DVLA replace the plate with a 'Q' plate as well, ensuring what resale value you had in the car dissapears!

    How bad are the speakers on the Samsung LE26R74BDX??

    Generally, most consumers with HD tvs have a separate sound sysytem anyway, which the manufacturers are aware of, hense putting smaller more inexpensive speakers in high end tv's to minimise expense. A lot of companies do this.

    Ugrade message Scam???

    Its probally not a scam, just a 3rd party business vying for custom. All the big networks sell phone numbers to third parties, the 3rd parties will then call you offering the upgrade in exchange for contract commission from the network provider. Strange to see it on a pay as you go phone and...

    Forza 2 First Impressions?

    I honestly believe that if people like you ever tried to read a book, you'd be utterly, utterly confused. And stop posting up silly little cheats. Do you really think that having finally bought Forza, we want to cheat and have everything straight away, without a challenge or all the fun on the...

    got my ps3...

    I have to say I've never been a big fan of upscalers (I've got one on on my stand alone player) and while some look pretty good, there are discs that look too processed for me. Still its a good feature to have for free! Havnt yet seen the PS3 upscaler in action though...

    got my ps3...

    'Home' will be good, but I hope they also put a 2d interface onto it as well as the 3d interface... It may get a bit frustrating walking slowly around when you just want to get to something specific, you'll be pushing people out of the way, lol!

    Thats not a bad feature I have to say!

    Does this then replace the standard os, or do you have to go back to the standard os to boot a game?
