@Kaiser-Machead: Yeah, the charger is the same idea for the S95. I just bought one for my girlfriend for christmas and it's a very capable little machine. It's pocketable but just as capable as a G12 really. You can also get generic batteries for pretty cheap now, which I would at least get 1 anyway for any camera I'd…

These are all great cameras but I'm wondering why the G12 wasn't used in this battlemodo instead of the S95. It would have all the same features of the S95 with the benefit of control dials of the P7000. It's plenty capable as it is but it has a nice expansion ability for those who will want to grow into it later. Was…

@sydcinema: Wow, that's a great find.

@blash: Yeah I'm still surprised that the age limit still hasn't been adjusted. If at 18 you're man enough to die on a battlefield, you should be able to have a drink.

@Adam Floyd: I've seen some pilots pull some amazing maneuvers in order to save a plane/helicopter. But another factor of waiting till the last possible moment to bail is how traumatic ejecting is on your body.

@The Lab: Yeah, again I agree. It doesn't even have to anything to do with being liberal elite, which I'm not sure they understand the phrase anyway. This has nothing to do with politics. There are plenty of people on any side who are going to be glad and understand why this is needed. The words fascist and socialist…

@Matthew VanAndel: I see the point you're trying to make, but cigarettes won't kill you outright either. The possibility is there down the line if it's consumed regularly or in high quantity, the same as very unhealthy foods would be. But the words fascist, socialist, etc. are being loosely thrown around for this…

@The Lab: Agree with you entirely and glad you got your star. Also, I think people misunderstand what socialism is. I think they forget what the FDA is and what it has to do with their food and the process in which it's made. No one's taking the happy meals away, you just can't target kids if it doesn't meet the…

@Matthew VanAndel: Any time? And everything else the FDA tries to keep out of your food or the conditions in which it's made is also a bad thing? I see this the same as keeping something known to be unhealthy (like cigarettes) from targeting kids.

@diw321: Small game or animation studios, or even any artist in the industry could use it and then get it written off for taxes. Same goes for game system and other goodies.

@mikjackson77: I would agree that Microsoft Security Essentials is a good choice. It runs very light, is pretty straight ahead, and free.

@shazaam42: Could be your Halloween costume. You might even say, that would be a cool idea.

Ok, I've got a question. I'm starting to get into photography and I've bought myself a G11 for starters, then eventually a DSLR when I feel I should reward myself. I want to buy extra batteries or my camera and I'm wondering how well the generic batteries do against the official Canon ones, if they're as safe to use,…

I feel sorry for whoever comes into work late at the crash test facility, because they probably used his/her car for the testing.

@jedimaster: Haha, yeah I'm the same. Maybe they've been given the green light then because they promised they'd bring pie.

@jedimaster: I kinda thought they meant that they'd be compiling things live, like they have the last couple of times.

Rrrr I hope they still have a deal like this on that Canon 7D around Christmas time, when I'll be able to justify getting myself something.

@Gregory Jeffries: HAHA I would've starred you just for this one.

@binhdu37: Aww, you're right. Kinda wish he wouldn't have, I think that would've been funnier.

hahaha I like how he's wearing sunglasses again at the end.
