these people are either just crazy or don't understand the concept that time has value. even unemployed people can get a holiday job at minimum wage and earn the extra $50 to buy that shitty insignia or dynex tv at regular price and do it in a fraction of the time they'd have to wait on the line

that picture in the lower right is the perfect reason not to put all your expensive gear inside a box on top of a tripod at a wedding

the director wants you to say it with more intensity

perhaps a HD video where he blows up the old camera?

But he actually has money

His next trick should be to take the $200 and go buy a decent camera that does HD video

yea, i'm not sure what mario meant by months w/o a charge. maybe he snaps a few shots and puts it away for a few months before using it again. but then the s100 should do that too right?

maybe he's only half as illiterate as you think. some of the mistakes could be to save space

I always thought alkalines worked better in my flash than my Eneloops but I never really paid too much attention so you may be right. The voltage might not be right for cameras but rechargeable AA Li-ions would be great for everything else except profits from alkaline batteries

You have a point; if you're stuck in the middle of nowhere, it would be easier to find AAs than proprietary batteries. But I disagree with you about costs. If you use Li-ions only once, then lithium AAs would cost less but that's ignoring that you get multiple uses out of Li-ions. Also, I use third party batteries…

If you're able to get some extra AAs before a trip, you can also get some spare Li-ions. AAs are a good backup if you're away from civilization for extended periods and don't have the foresight to get some extra Li-ions but Li-ions perform much better than alkaline or NiMh AAs especially if you're using the flash. …

One thing I'm still confused about is why crop sensor cameras are recommended for sports and bird photography. A 100mm lens will give you a 150mm or 160mm equivalent but isn't this the same as shooting full frame and cropping the image in post so the subject fills the frame?

macbooks are for making indie experimental funk that the hipsters like. you need a hp w/ beats audio to make hip hop

I was wondering about HBO Go... After reading the article, I thought there was some kind of non-cable subscription that I didn't know about

The problem is cable companies package their services similarly to how they package channels. For most people if you give up cable TV, the unbundled price of internet only is more than half of what the package deal costs.

you don't have to be perfectly vertical to experience zoom creep and if you're using a cheaper lens, it starts creeping in a couple seconds

This is what the super committee is coming up with? How's about coming up with real solutions like fixing healthcare or getting rid of unnecessary tax breaks and loopholes? $5.6B over 30 years? Really? That's not even 1% of the federal budget.

it still costs money to copy those ideas into iOS

wow... so much anger. i thought your comment was funny

I'm glad I read this article today. I was just about to buy a 5D. Thanks for saving me from that mistake
