I got a wireless remote for less than USD5 shipped.

Looks exactly like http://cgi.ebay.com/Remote-Control-...=Camera_Camcorder_Remotes&hash=item4151a9a1ba except brand name is JIANISI

Works beautifully

Hello all,

it seems my old laptop cannot handle photoshop and processing of raw files anymore. Any minimum specs you can recommend when I want to get new laptop?

mostly doing photo processing in raw format, and probably a few HD videos every now and then.

Thanks bros.

you need at least 512M Video card, 4G of RAM and 3G of dual core processor.. i reckon Laptop will be more expensive than desktop..

Heh bro Odyssey-Boy,

Was searching the forum and note that you too had a Lowepro Fastpack 200.

Can it pack ur Canon 550D with grip?

I am considering getting between Lowepro Fastpack 200, 250 or 300. The most minimum is must be able to fix my camera with grip and do not wish to buy something too big.

Can advice?

 

[voxies09]

i used fastpack 250 with grip + 18-135mm+ hood (have to reverse it) .. + flash + cleaning kits+ cigarate + ipod

Haha, well said, who don't like orginal if the orignal price is not much different compare to 3rd party

Thanks, that is the answer I m waiting for.

I m considering 250 too. 350 seems a bit too big.

BTW the different between 250 and 200 is the laptop compartment, do you really use it? I am thinking that it will be rare for me to carry a laptop around... any comment?

 

[voxies09]

I don't have laptop too but it's good to have

 

[compgen]

Anyone tried the Sirui M-1004 or M-2004 with removable leg to serve as monopod?

Was considering btw them. Just afraid it will not be stable if there is removable leg. Else i will just get T-1004X...

K thanks, think i must consider it

Yes, for full shoot I use a fastpack 200. It can fit a 550D with grip, a small lens from 50 1.8 to big boys like 70-200 2.8 w/o any prob, still can add 2 lens and a flash.. Top compartment can put umbrella and clothes..

Tk foto selling at $100

Hello guys,

Can i check with if anyone is experiencing lack issue with the video play back.

I am currently using a SANDISK EXTREME HD VIDEO CLASS 6 20MB/S card, i am recording on PAL format, but during replay of the video on my computer, i am experiencing the lack.
I mean, the voice and video shown does not syn at all. The voice appear to be faster then the video.

Can someone advise on how to solve this problem please.

i'm having the same prob.what i did is re-convert the vidz and did some adjustment on fps.it looks fine after that.
btw .. i'm using Total Video Converter software

 

[Odyssey-Boy]

Hi thanks, still considering between fastpack 200 and 250 Thanks.

Sure, no problem.

It was discussed in the US/Europe countries that although they don't own a laptop, they choose the 250 w/ lap compartment, so they can store magazines, news papers or books..
