    Setting up new rig

    If based on link provided by zcf, Intel C2D 8600 did a 69Mb TIFF file with 6 filters in 88sec and come up tops in against all processors including the new i7 chip. I check the pricing (Fuwell @SLS) for a simple rig based on the E8600 and come up with this: Intel Core2Duo E8600 + MSI...

    Setting up new rig

    I always go for the rig technology that can be future-proof for at least 2 years. If based on that then AMD is the Way. I recently upgraded using an AMD Athlon X2 5600, 4GB Kingston DDR2 800mhz, MSI K9A2GM micro ATX mainboard with built-in ATI HD 3200 graphics (HD playback capable), 3x 500GB...

    D50 or KM5D

    Don't want to get bombard here. Sony NOT taking over KM but only to co-develop DSLR. Read Here : Sony, Konica Minolta cooperate on DSLRs But rumours among owners is rampant because of their poor business result. Read here : Konica Minolta sees big loss, steps up restructuring Heard...

    D50 or KM5D

    I'll vote for KM5D. Even though Canon & Nikon have a very extensive lens range, only a few can afford it. Let alone those IS or VR range. Anti-shake for a camera system is very useful feature if not important. Picture quality, I won't go there bcoz thats's very subjective. Again, for...

    Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FZ30

    Have to respect that, but do you guys produce to print? Since I lost the FZ5 yet to print the hundreds of pics I took. I did print some of my pics taken with my old Sony DC - a 2.1 Mp Cybershot back in 2001. Pics turn out unacceptable mostly due to handshake. Pics come out blurred. Never...

    Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FZ30

    For the benefit of all, I did a resize of exanimated 1st pic @ 640x480. I see it's sharp, at 4R prints should be great. We only see noise at the original size on the PC monitor. I even viewed the original pic on TV, no noise what so ever. Is it now people only interested to look for...

    Global Dimming.

    Just watched it too. Very dim future..... A herculean task to avert the problem. As the documentary says temp worldwide will increase 2-3c by 2025. By then too late to reverse effect. Anyway, as said in the documentary, 20years has gone by discussing the Global warming thingy with minimum...
