You know what the SAD part is? I've had the camera for almost 2 years, and never really started shooting in RAW mode till recently. I don't know WHY I waited this long to shoot it that way. The difference in pic clarity/quality/and *pop* compared to Jpegs is NIGHT and DAY. I will only shoot in jpeg mode in those instances where I don't really care about the shots The best part about the digital age, Data is essentially free. No wasting of film.... SHOOT AWAY!!! LOL Ken.... I wish I could take all the credit, but I'm no expert, nor do I claim to be.... it's all the camera. You can buy a nice point and shoot for what, 250? You can get into a DSLR for like 350 - 450 or so? Even in full auto mode, the DSLR shoots wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better pics than the point and shoot. First time I loaded the pics on my PC in RAW mode, I thought to myself, "Damn... I take THAT good a shot?!?!?!" So yeah, it's not a secret camera just go out and buy ANY dslr camera... amazing stuff. I have so much fun shooting pics now. I want a new lens with a diff't range. Maybe for father's day?

Ken... I use a Nikon D60. It was a step above the D40. It had some features the D40 didn't have, so I sprung for it. Comes with an 18-55mm lens, should work for 90% of your shots. Here's a review of the D60.
Nikon D60 Review - Digital cameras - CNET Reviews Sad part is that I think they stopped making it already, but I think some merchants still sell it. The replacement now is a D3000 I think. D3000 from Nikon Whichever you get, just get an 8gb (at least) sd card, then SHOOT AWAY!!!

Oh my aching back !!!
As luck would have it, now that the weather has warmed up here in the Northeast, I hurt my back from lifting an amplifier and now am watching my Z sit in the garage. So for all of you out there over 50 or have back problems, here's my advice; DRIFT...DON'T LIFT! Have fun with your Zs, I'll be back in the saddle soon!

not fully decided yet... probably either the TWM or the PWJDM.
the issue is not really in my Z cause i only take her out on weekends, but in my G which has a metal TWM knob right now.. it gets SUPERHOT while parked at the office in the sun so i want to use my Z's knob on the G and get a new knob for the Z. (i distroyed my G's knob while removing it back like 6yrs ago. ) ooooo~... that's a blanket we dont hear about too often. |

ordered up a roll of Xpel protector 7ft x 4" wide to do the side of the car. i found some minor kickup chips on the very bottom 3" of the car from when i was running 20mm spacers up front on stock 19's.
i measued 6ft each side and didnt feel like paying $190 for the pre-cut side pieces from autopaintguard.com so got the generic roll for less than $50 shipped. will trim to shape and squeegee on. |
