"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Dream on, KT. :p

Yoda, it uses Sony's Memory Schtick, err... Stick. I simply use the "old" 128Mb stick I bought for my older Sony DSC-P20. But it's not quite as big with 5 megapixels as it was with 1.3 :p

And here I was hoping it was a new minigun... ;)

Question: Is that 5 Megapixels for real? I remember my parents were looking into buying a new digital camera and found that sometimes the Megapixel label was inflated by use of interpolation and the like.

If it is, :eek:

I HATE you! :eek2: In a good way, of course. That camera is both Eddie and I's dream camera... wow, how much did cost you?

PS. WMCoolmon, that's are definitely genuine 5MP. A few months ago there were a bunch of 6MP and 12MP cameras that achieved that res by interpolation - in reality they were closer to 4MP and 9MP in terms of detail and sharpness.

do not torment the sleep deprived artist, he may be vicious when cornered,
in case of emergency, administer caffeine to the artist,
he will become docile after that,

I'm sure Setekh would be eating his heart out if he actually still loved us.  Which he doesn't any more.  :p

In Australian eBay, the best price I could find was AUD$950. Retail is about AUD$400 more than that. Ermm... where's a currency converter?

I'd be more impressed if it were a Canon EOS-1DS. That's the only digital camera I'm spending money on. 11.1 mega pixel baby, and standard Canon EF lens mount. Why buy anything less?

Pfff. Photo's are for fags.

Where's the challenge when no matter what you point it at you're going to get an image with perfect scaling, lighting, texturing and shape?

It's like having a bike-making contest and giving each contestant a fully automated Harley Davidson factory.
