    Another D-SLR questions thread

    I'm just itching to get to Africa in October to try this beasty Dabbled with it in vertical stabilisation only to try panning, what i'm hoping for is a killer pan shot of a fast moving big cat, been practising with cars on the motorway, you dont half get some funny looks standing in a field...

    8bit PNG's will retain their transparency in explorer - 24bit ones wont. I really hope you're not a web developer either.

    Another D-SLR questions thread

    Just bought that from warehouse express for £681 - Jessops are SUCH a rip off. The ones im lusting after next are this one and probably this one as well, i'll never have any money :(

    Another D-SLR questions thread

    I did exactly the same with the 300D, made it feel perfect, especially like the additional buttons in the bottom right hand corner that allow a 90 degree rotation and retaining major functions. I will be doing the same with the 5D, annoyingly although it looks identical its slightly different to...

    Another D-SLR questions thread

    The only negative thing i'd say about the 350D is the size of the thing, this will sound odd but it just doesnt 'feel' right, its quite a lot smaller than a traditional SLR camera and when i tried one it just felt like a big compact. Theres absolutely nothing wrong with the operation/quality of...

    My macbook just died.

    Yeah, you have to make things look pretty on an A4 sheet of paper, professionals like me have to turn it into a workable piece of print. Bloody designers have no idea how it happens nor could they grasp it most of the time. What do you design for? Litho? Flexo? Gravure? Dry Offsett? Aluminium...

    Your Honest Opinions of the 182 ... ?

    182's rattle and drop to bits, but they're cheap and go like stink, as said elsewhere build quality could be better and Renault dealers are absolute toss but for the money the smiles per gallon factor is huge.

    My macbook just died.

    I find the cash i save buying high spec IBM compatibles amusing :D especially when i hear about yet another crapbook going to computer heaven ;) Yes various companies i've worked for have had them, i work in reprographics, its a service industry, we have to deal with the sh*te we get supplied...

    ^^ thats what im thinking :)

    My macbook just died.

    If you want to talk about ignorance, the only reason that designers use them is that in the early days of dtp Apple had a really crap GUI before windows did and it had a built in microphone so you could record yourself farting. Designers bought macs because DOS was crap, simple as. I find Apple...

    My macbook just died.

    Oh yeah im bitter, i bought a centrino laptop last year and the bloody things never missed a beat - what i should have done was pay a few hundred quid more for a crapbook with a smaller screen, a slower processsor which would now not work as it'd died with the rest of it. Oh yeah real bitter. I...

    My macbook just died.

    Im forced to use one every day, i even have an old iMac from when they were giving them away at work, i use it to stream movies into the bog.

    My macbook just died.

    Yet further proof that anything with an apple logo on it underperforms and will break. Think Different, think expensive garbage.

    Explorer keeps popping

    IE sucks huge amounts of donkey dick, firefox is the future, no stupid crappy active-x controls wreaking havoc on your machine etc.etc.

    My iMac is dying ...

    I'm surprised your mac stayed off its arse long enough for you to type that actaully. Give yourself a round of applause.:clap:

    My iMac is dying ...

    I've said this before, anything with an apple logo on it will cost more, perform badly and break. The only thing in their favour is they're now faster, although why they are Intel based i just dont know, Apple has always screamed hysterically how much faster the power PC chip was. I got hold of...
