Sounds so good...

I'm trying to sell my glass and bodyLooking to stay with Nikon. J National camera exchange is having a decently large sale on Nikon specifically.
-
Best wishes to you all, brother. Agreed. Best of best wishes, and good luck.

Sean's confused, skip the pan, microwave everything.

Your wife was texting me about it. ;-)

I don't know dick about nikons anymore. Those are fine cameras but once you invest in lenses, you wouldn't want to change unless it's for a specific reason. Example is the 5diii is much more user friendly in the field, but the top Nikon of similar design has a significant use for studio work with it's super high detail.

I will watch for you. Tell me the style you want. I only see 3 bodies as a great deal. T5i 70D 5Diii Unless your rich, then the 1Dx is fun.

And if I do, is a touchscreen necessary?I use it without a touchscreen. I don't use any of the metro screen though which basically makes it windows 7 with a new style start button. Oh, way faster feeling than 7 too. Personally I would do it, but it may piss you off as it has a new learning curve.Not worried about the learning curve, just want to make sure that Windows 8 is worth it over Windows 7. I've really enjoyed windows 7.I found the same version as my stolen laptop with a 2nd gen i7. From what I've seen the i7 is just a bit better than the 3rd gen i5s that i am looking at. It's also the only descent small laptop I can find and cost less than $470. Not sure if I want to upgrade more though lol. Windows 8 is not an upgrade in any real way*, in most ways it's a downgrade. *if you want a touchscreen it has some advantages.

Hate working today.

Hope the hospital has a black Friday deal on delivery. Congrats!

Something that our eyes really do a great job of is handling dynamic ISO. Our eyes can see both dark detail and bright detail within a huge huge huge spread. This has always been a problem with photography, and why HDR when done properly is so awesome. Our displays however can only handle so much. But that is why some of those top of the line plasmas are the balls. The Kuro pioneers, I think that was the name, looks so uncanny because of their skills at handling blacks and low light with bright spot dynamics. Most TV'S, and projectors can now scale up or scale down the overall image brightness, or they can maybe have one area have less backlight than another, but the actual dynamic range isn't even close to our eyes. So a TV that can handle blacks well, have a fast white to black and black to white speed will always be the most desirable. Assuming that the fast on/off pixel speed is put to good use by good image management software/hardware to handle motion blur. Add a really large dynamic range and that will be a sexy TV. Hz don't matter much at all and neither does resolution unless you are pushing the boundary of your eyes relative scale and that is right about 80hz and a 60" at 12' with 1080.

Anyway, the human eye, like all of our senses, is only as sensitive as the scale and relationships with it's surrounding. A generic FPS number is about as useful as a generic pixel count. Though resolution is a much more tangible value than frequency. Our eyes are technically sensitive only to motion, and fluid motion only takes about 20hz(frames per second). I'm not saying that is ideal, but it's fluid motion in a general generic setting. If strobed we can notice a single flash of light in the dark at about 1/550 of a second and make out basic images. But it's almost imperceptible if that flash happened at the same light level as the ambient. We also only see details with what I remember to be a 6degree angle of vision. And again only if the image(either our eyes or the subject) is in motion. Our peripheral vision however is more .... Sensitive, or maybe attuned, to notice frequency and subtle intensity changes in any given image. This is why lifeguards constantly scan. It allows the pereferal and accute focus to be utilized at it's maximum. We also only perceive patterns. Our eye to brain coordination can actually completely tune out things that do not belong to a pattern that we expect. Common problem with deer "comming out of nowhere" it was unexpected and not something part of the pattern of the road, and so we miss the data.

You haven't seen some of the best projectors. Theater projectors don't hold a candle to what some of the current models can do for the private cinema.
-
4k might be cool if it actually accepts and draws the data for each claimed pixel. Make for a pretty sweet monitor.

I don't understand the point of high HZ TV. But I don't give a shit about 3D. Your eye can't see the difference. It's a lot like sub 50" set up 16 feet away and people thinking 1080 will net them a benefit. I want a good image with minimal blur. A higher HZ doesn't help to reduce blur. Especially since no content refreshes that fast anyway.
-
Same exact story for me but in reverse as I was getting in. I didn't know it had my hand and I ended up dangling from the door when my momentum was stopped. It was just 15 min after I slipped and landed on my tailbone and gave it a little fracture. Sucked.

Don't know it I don't think.....

Dome keys are harder on your tendons. They must reach their maximum travel to engage the switch. The rest is personal preference really. Shorter throw usually, wears better and lasts longer. So there is some performance and value to it also. Can be less resistance when you key depending on the type of Key. I think I want Cherry brand Reds, softer with no mid stroke detent so you cab "double tap faster". The blues have a mid stroke detent than you can feel. The detent is felt and heard to signify the point where the switch in the key actuates so you can release the key before ever coming to the bottom of the keys travel. Less jarring and so typists love that style.

Happy T day to all.

Pineapple juice! Lmao.

Happy T day Mike. May your thanksgiving pants never feel tight.
