June 23, 201312 yr Another buy that is needed before is a camera. She wants a "compact" dslr. I'll probably have to go in the used market.Defeats the purpose. Point & shoot or DSLR. Of course the caveat being if you can live with a single prime.Can you go into detail more on living with a single prime?Wife already is balking on the idea because we don't "need" one for what we do.
June 23, 201312 yr Tempur and latex mattresses have ruined other mattress designs for meI cannot find a true well made Dunlop or talalay mattress in the twin cities. Some with a thin layer. Latex is so damn spendy right now.Aside from what I sleep on the most comfortable bed ever was a latex bed. It was heaven. Who makes good latex mattresses nowadays? Relatives have been looking for a quality latex.
June 23, 201312 yr Remote Desktop search.Don't need access outside of my house or network, but I'd like to virtually run my desktop on my laptop without going to the desktop. I can get around "needing" to do this, but for some applications it'll save me a big hassle.Lappy is win 8 and desktop 7 Um, TeamViewer?

If you are taking them to put on facebook, then no big deal, but if you want to have them printed etc, then you need to be able to edit.RAW is the best format for editing.

I have been to every local place shopping the competition and no one makes one based on latex other than Kings Down.I found it at Ethan Allen.
June 23, 201312 yr Real question is why an SLR and what is the budget. Task and goals at hand will make a huge difference on what to grab.

June 23, 201312 yr I wouldn't want to live without zoom or at minimum a few lens options, or without SLR capabilities.
June 23, 201312 yr I wouldn't want to live without zoom or at minimum a few lens options, or without SLR capabilities.For all of those uber far stalker titty-pussy shots?
June 23, 201312 yr I have basically decided on the 70-200mm ISii in fact. Pending a rental from west photo.With my 18-135, and that I will be set. That 70-200 is about perfect for portraits.
June 23, 201312 yr Matt, what happened at Slamology? I saw you asked Shizzzon if that's why he was trying to make his car like one of those storm chaser cars.

June 23, 201312 yr Matt, what happened at Slamology? I saw you asked Shizzzon if that's why he was trying to make his car like one of those storm chaser cars. Just out of curiosity, is this thread motivated by what happened at Slamology?As far as I know some equipment got stolen from cars.
June 23, 201312 yr Yea i heard several got broken into.. this year, someone got broken into at the hotel i was at. Last year, TWO vehicles got broken into at the hotel i was at and me, teamramrod and chicagofan were all at that hotel last year. I'm serious, hotels are real shady for us audio competitors. Gotta beef it up. Can't be perfect but gotta try with what i know.

June 23, 201312 yr Quinten, the choice bed from tempur is much much better than the other air beds when laying in the middle, but I would still recommend something like the cloud lux or the cloud grand if you are feeling like a baller.

Image stabilization is huge tooIt is a little long but I set mine on 70 and walked around taking "portraits" and it was a really good shot. I also did a Fuck ton of research on how the extra distance can help. Also looked at the quality of the shots from that big white SOB and it beats out the shorter zooms in overall quality. It also will help for when I want to do wildlife and sports. And with an extender I can get pretty damn pervy
