Went over to Sitex just now, didn't remember the databank booth number so walk around the 3 block radius of the HWZ booth, didn't even see or find any booth selling or advertising the Databank. :dunno: BTW there is no mention whether the databank is usb 2.0 or not, care to enlighten...

Must it only be run via an external battery pack? How's the battery life & transfer speed? I once had a x-drive, it was horrendously slow, took 20 over mins to transfer 1GB and the battery didn't even last 3GB of data transfer. Any manufacturer website or specs on this device? Is it as...

Just gave flashcard-bestbuy a call. They have no stock of the Ultra II 512MB CF. They also cannot confirm if they will have more stock coming at the same price.

Ok thanks for the correction, now lemme go and kill the person who gave me this wrong info

Nikon 50mm/1.8 cost around $140 and the f/1.4 version cost more than 3 times as much around $450. The difference (at least for Nikkor lenses) are that f/1.4 are faster (but softer), uses more glass elements (so maybe very slightly bigger than the f/1.8), possibly not easy to manufacture which...

I've read somewhere that Mac monitors are properly colour calibrated and optimised for use with Photoshop.

RAM RAM!! Need lotsa ram to do fast image editing & processing. Ideally 512MB and above. And to support above 256MD ram, you need an NT based OS like WinXP, Win2000. Win98 only supports up to 256MB, any excess will be ignored.

Congrats! You just described how the majority of clubsnappers look! What's wrong with carrying a tripod and camera bag around?

In addition, you need an NT based system (WinXP, WinNT, Win2000) to be able to utilise the 512MB ram. I've heard that Win98 will ignore any ram above 256MB

Why you guys shoot so early? Not catching the Deepavali light decorations at night? Afterall, Deepavali is supposed to be festival of the lights. :rolleyes:

Well a ball head can be used to shoot static objects as well, I don't see how it is less versatile than a 3 way head. The added advantage is that it can be used to shoot action shots as well. I can't imagine a situation where my model have to wait while i adjust the 3 knobs to get into the right...

Frankly I don't see why you need a 3 way head unless you are particular about your "shot to shot composition" like when you need a series of shots to stitch into a panorama. I personally feel a 3 way head is only good for static objects.

Ok these are signs that I gotta sleep, we will continue our "verbal sparring" the next time we meet. ;)

Laugh all you want, I realise my typo, it's late night in Singapore you know.... :p
