  1. I think majority of users would prefer one digital camera that can do it all: terrific zooming capability and high quality shots while delivering low digital noise (random color spots found largely in night shots and high contrast shots).
    Case study:

    My girlfriend was looking for something slim and simple for her work. After test driving many models she decided on Casio Exlim 7.1 megapixel with 3X optical zoom. This only cost $97 (discontinuing model). Great price and great specs! It has built in MPEG-4 encoder (first kind ever) that allows 1.5 hours of 640X480 HQ video with HDSD 4GB card. Wow...right?

    She took it for her first case and took photos for her presentation. When she uploaded to her computer we were very surprised and disappointed. Colors were awful and contrast was not definitive at all! Majority of under lit photos came our like some pixelated 2D animation picture. Basically the night mode was so inferior that unless manually set it came out not looking like real people. You get what you pay for, I suppose.

    So what's the moral of this story?

    I believe for $200 you will get above an average digital camera that will meet your needs. But what it won't do is takes photos better than any point and shoot 35mm camera. However, instead of waiting for your 35mm photo to be developed and noticing the 'mistake' you can instantly play back your photo and take it again before the moment passes. $200 or so range digital cameras have better CCD or CMOS sensors that is far better than $100 range digital cameras. And since $200 range is the consumer target range tackled by manufactures you will find vast digital cameras to choose.

    Judging by your handle you are a Canon fan? Canon, Sony, or Nikon are a sure thing. Other manufactures such as Casio, as my girlfriend puts it, is a calculator company LOL (not that I don't like Casio but her blunt observation cracks me up).

    But looking at the trend now it looks like a $200 point and shoot digital camera is for everyday, daytime purpose. As long as you do not expect fantastic night shot along with day shot from one digital camera you'll be fine.

    Now, which camera prints better photo and looks better on your computer is a whole another story and a topic :)


    Actually, SureShot was from A game called Socom 2 :D

  2. I've had one lucid dream before actually. I was bikng around town and I realized I was in a dream. So I took control of my dream. It's absolutely amazing. I could do anything.. I was riding off huge sets of stairs, going off massive ramps and all this crazy stuff.


  3. Ok I thought I'd share my workout routines, and compare to some of you guys.First off, I'm 17 6 foot and 175 lbs.Every other day I do40 bench press ( 105 lbs)40 Incline bench press (105lbs)40 Curls ( 65lbs )40 leg extensions (45lbs)And then some pushups and sit ups. The weight is low I know.. My bar is full lol. ( Damn walmart weight set )So I'm curious to see what type of workout you guys do?


  4. I hear ya man. I just started working out about 2 months ago. I figured.. instead of wasting money buying a gym pass.. why not just buy a weightset for my room?Every other day I bust out the ipod and pump some irons, in the comfort of my own room :)
