    Well if you wanna off load an old camera, check out Canons Loyalty Program. I called and its to much info to type, but you are allowed to trade in any old camera, working or not, for a refurbished Canon. So when I called to verify, they said yes, and you are allowed to do it 3 times under your name. Applies at all Canon camera except the 1 series. So we are trading in 2 old used Canon P&S we picked up at Goodwill for Refurbished 5D Mark II's for a lot less then normal refurb price. They come with a warranty too. Also picking up some G11's I think.

    So a 5D Mark II refurbished right from Canons Direct store is 2099.00. Trading in our $3 film camera's, we were quoted at $1200.00 for the 5d Mark II. The G11 was like $230 or so. New its $444.00 through B&H. Refurb is around $350.00 when they have them in stock.

    Check it out by calling them directly and asking about the loyalty program! :drink40:

    I have heard about this before and sounds like a great idea, but I wouldn't want to get rid of my DSLR to get a P&S. I've put too much money into my DSLR with lenses, flash, CF cards, battery's, etc. But, in the next 100 years when I have money to spend, I will probably be taking advantage of this program!! :fing34:

    And nice choice in getting the 5D Mark II! The 5D, either I or II, would be my next DSLR if I could buy one now. I have such a long wish-list for photography equipment with a very short stack of cash. I don't even go to BHphoto.com anymore because it is like walking into BestBuy with no money to spend! It sucks.. :shrug:

    I really need a good camera, use the P&S for deployments and in the truck.

    Right now, IF I could get another lens, body, flash, or anything, I would probably choose a P&S camera. I love my Canon, but after 5 years or so with it, it is just too damn big, heavy, and just a pain to carry around. I wish I could take a camera with me that I could fit in my pocket. Plus, I know some P&S cameras that shoot GREAT pictures, so don't take yours for granted! :fing34:

    I appreciate all of the great words guys! :drink40:

    Decided to post some of the black and white photography that I have done in the past many years. Not much, just a taste.

    All were taken with a Nikon FE2.

    There is a lot of dust on this one from a bad scan, but after posting this picture other places, people said that they like the dust and advised me to just keep it how it is.

    I primarily shoot digital. Rarely do I mess with film.

    Thanks for looking!

    Yeah, after some thought, I didn't think that sealant would be the best thing on that plate. Might do the MDF idea, but later. I don't have the time for that right now. I want to completely fix this because it sounds (and feels) like a LOT of air is escaping.

    On a different note, since we are on the topic of my Cerwin-Vegas, and I don't want to start a new thread, I'm hearing distortion through them sometimes. It is more pronounced at lower volumes, and it seems like it is actually coming from the 4" mid. For example, in the "In the Air Tonight" bass test version, when the bass is pulsing, the Vegas are distorting on the peaks of the pulse. I bought these used, and have really had no problem with them except for now with the air thing and this. I want my Vegas to be top notch. Is there anything that I can do to test or make sure nothing is wrong with them? I have pushed them fairly hard at times, but nothing ridiculous. And like I said, the distortion is more pronounced at lower volumes (Maybe because there isn't loud music to cover it up?)
