Canon Powershot Vs Sony Cybershot For digital bridge cameras
onscreen replied to HyBriD54's topic in Photography
Wow i couldnt believe i missed this thread totally.Lets put it in the simple way. Your rechargeable battery run out and you need a quick fix on batteries. Which is more convenient? AA is the answer. But this small battery could only last for a day of full shooting with the use of build-in flash compared to the non-standard Lithium ion battery which it can last up to 2.5 full days of shooting with the use of build-in flash. (I have done the test but i misplaced the log of each battery performance.) And yes, non-standard batteries then to have degraded life.Whats advertised did not take flash usage into account and the statistic is based on average usage data. So, before i forget, the higher the megapixels, the more the battery consumption is. 9 and 8.1mp isnt huge difference if you are doing candid / family shooting.So to conclude my reply, i would say go for SX110. Why? 1. Battery convenience 2. megapixels is just a number for the highest best quality. You have the option to set the image quality and size at your will. The higher mp option you have the happier user you are. -
I am going to recommend you a list of DLSRs that have the features like high iso, up to 3200 moderately high shutter speed for creative control that is up to 1/4000 and the option to set it to Bulb mode. As a student, there is no need to settle on semi pro, pro lens and best to stick to low end aka end consumer lens. Lets start on building up the list. 1. Canon 450D - https://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canoneos450d/ 2.Nikon D60 - https://www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikond60/ - Recommended. - Why? Nikon never fail to impress the entry level market with the range of low budget lens, the G series. It was made to suit the APS-C sensor range of Nikon Cameras with budget in mind and its also most photography student's choice. 3. Sony Alpha a200 - https://www.dpreview.com/reviews/sonydslra200/ 4. Pentax K200D - https://www.dpreview.com/reviews/pentaxk200d/ If you have a higher budget, i would ask you to settle on Nikon D90 https://www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikond90/ if you are going to continue doing photography after graduation. It is a gap filler model between entry level D60 / 40 range and D300 / D700 range. So D90 have the features of D60 and abit of D300 with a modified image sensor of D300. I would highly recommend you to read the reviews and try to compare it around for your best needs if you find my recommended isnt up to your expectation. I am ready to take questions if you need more understanding..

Lets get the fact right. Guildwars isnt a MMO. As stated in an interview when Guildwars was launched, ArenaNet confirmed that Guildwars isnt a MMO but a co-operative online game with RPG elements.Second thing is you cannot compare Guildwars with WoW. WoW cartoon-ish style is part of the theme in Warcraft franchise since the first Warcraft release.Guildwars indeed is a good game but its PVP arena oriented. Currently the good community is no longer exist like the days before and hope GW2 improve some things that GW lack off.

What Phone Should I Get? LG Dare iPhone or Blackberry Storm
onscreen replied to Ruben's topic in Mobile Phones
I know what you want but its hard to suggest you. Not many now have full qwerty keypad except for some highend phones like Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 and a couple of Nokia phones have that too. The site i provided you is the best source to date for phone research. That is how i get to know what phone i want and i need. You request for a guide to something and i provided the link. I do recommend the site to other friends of mine who is going through the same thing as you and they find it really useful except for you. http://www.gsmarena.com/search.php3 . The phone finder will list out all possible phones with the main priority features you want. You can be very specific on every features listed. We can recommend you phones but most important bit is to have you research, read the features and user opinion / reviews will allow you to have a virtual understanding of the pros and cons of each specific phone in your league. If you consider my reply here is a spam, i warmly welcome you to report my replies in your thread. I am ready for anything worse. Edit : i poke around my local tech forum and found this : LG KS360 It is leaned more toward web surf and text message. You might consider that in your list. -
Not the first but second phone with WiFi in it. Yes no GPS but it have Google Maps but afterall, how many of us use GPS? But the addition of WiFi means some sacrifice on other noticeable features.

Free Mmo? Looking for a free MMO, thats not horrible graphics.
onscreen replied to 332083's topic in Computer Gaming
S4 league isnt an MMO. Its a casual online shooting game. MMO and online games is 2 different genre. MMO = world to be explored, quest to accomplish, friends and enemy to be made. That is why its called Massively Multiplaying Online Online games = Casual with multiplaying feature without the progression and 90% of the time its instanced / match based gameplay. So lets not confuse between MMO and online shooting games like what other does these days.. some even go beyond expectation like claiming COD5 is a new MMO. Though i agree that S4 League is a very fun game for short burst of gaming. Long session of it makes me abit tense -
What Phone Should I Get? LG Dare iPhone or Blackberry Storm
onscreen replied to Ruben's topic in Mobile Phones
For games on LG Dare, you have to check with the line carrier's website.Good Email? as in application or..? I have Google Mail app for J2ME based phones and so far it is efficient in updating me with my emails on the move. I seldom use phone for internet access so i cant really guide you much. While waiting for other replies, you can poke around http://www.gsmarena.com/ for phone comparisons. -
Working with 3D isnt about sticking with one application and thats all. Combine Wings3D superior modeling tools with blender for rendering and object rigging allow you to accomplish your work fast. Demonfire : modeling objects for a game demo isnt hard as many of us encourage you to do everything on your own is a good practice in near future. Unless you have near no experience with 3D modeling, then its time to get help in any means. Sadly i am currently occupied with year end projects else i would be glad in providing you the models and rigs.

Also its useless to blame game developers for such news. Just like how the kids put the blame on how Grand Theft Auto give influence to them on being involved in criminal acts.The root cause is we the human, where most of them just couldn't make a difference between real life and entertainment. Temptation, crave, curiosity kills the right understanding of gaming industry and gaming culture.When i read about the news a year ago, i feel no surprise on such thing will happen since in Vietnam, the kids and teenagers got addicted to online games since the exposure of MU online in their country. Since then, many other games follow in to localization of online games. Mostly were Free To Play MMO and only a couple of Pay to Play MMO manage to survive in the new market and one of them is World of Warcraft with a reported 12,000 Vietnamese players.

Its a serious competition and i wouldnt say features were copied from each other. The best word to fit into this situation is inspiration. Taking the best bit to improve things makes the competition more competitive. Still its the community that makes either place a nice place to hang out.

Its a shocking news indeed. I am not a fan of F1 but i do monitor the progress of how Honda driver progress, they do have some serious competition in the track. The drivers needed to stay positive and hope for the very best for their F1 team, with 800 employees, it truly a huge team to manage. Source : http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

Another thing i hate about domain names is the ones you registered, like for example my old domain name, dotidot.com, then some easy money hunters will forcefully register dotidot.net, dotidot.org and spam you with emails insist you to purchase those names @ 19.90 annually.Name conflicts is common as there is millions of people and surely a few of them have the same thinking as you and have the same opinion over name decision for domains. IMO, there is nothing to be mad of but settle on other name instead.

Digitally yes, install some cute software that can entertain us or enhance our daily life. Digital compass is one of it which can be found in the new Nokia phone and recently mobile phone makers start to squeeze in GPS feature into phones.The phone i currently use, have a motion sensor that can be used to play games. Need for Speed is one of the game that support that feature, pan the phone left to turn left and right for turning right.IMO, phone these days is way entertaining compared to the first few generation of color phone produced few years back.

Bored And What To Do What do you do when your bored silly
onscreen replied to Echo_of_thunder's topic in General Discussion
Best thing to avoid when you are bored is computer. Do something else like reading some inspirational materials to further enhance your to-do things when you are in the process of recovering.For me, i will settle on some sketching, do some research for my next upcoming personal projects, play my beloved MMO Warhammer Online or do some crazy racing in TM Nations.When i feel really bored with everything, i will just grab my camera kit and start shooting anything i can find through different angle or i would bring out my pet, 2 hermit crabs for a walk outside the house car poach. -
I never like xFire even though i have an account for it. For one thing i notice the whole application is kind of bloated. Even it have a voice feature, ventrilo and teamspeak works far better than xFire sans the sudden popup in game or unexpected crash of xfire client if u disable ingame support on some games.I started to using xfire when i play WoW and stopped accessing it early this year.

Shocking to see you respond to an issue that happened 4 years ago which might have solved during the past 4 years. Was wondering did you look at the date of last posted date before responding?

Oh, i didnt realize OP mentioned about slathering butter all over the food. Word of advice, butter is high in saturated fats and its going to be a major health risk. Even though i do consume butter but that only happen once in 2 months.

Call Of Duty Fans ? Come Here Call Of Duty FANS Only
onscreen replied to erk's topic in Computer Gaming
1. COD4 / COD52. PC3. No, i dont do clans.IMO, COD4 is fun with the realism touch in weapons and environment but COD5 feels more like an add-on to COD4 with a couple of tweaks here and there. But after going through the game, I started to accept that COD5 have set a new height in demand for COD franchise. -
What Is The Best Processor For Gaming? Is it Intel or AMD?
onscreen replied to 2091's topic in Hardware Workshop
Lets not talk about Intel vs AMD now and this advice is for everyone.If you have the money in the bank, go for Intel Core 2 at least, else go for AMD X2 or X4.Intel is more like top performance with a price and AMD is more like jack of all trade in a budget. There is no one sided performance when it come to gaming in general but if you are those tech geek who do overclock and stuff while taking high end games for run, then Intel is the way to go since you can do solid overclocking with AIR cooling. -
Laptop Faster. Internet Faster. And Why? help me out
onscreen replied to karlo's topic in Hardware Workshop
The auto shutdowns and restart is due to overheating issues in most cases. If you installed the new memory and you have these problem since the installation, then its most likely one of the chip is damaged by electric static or high temperature or a hard knock. Only way to rectify it is to bring your laptop back to the shop, have them to witness the problem and insist for a change. To actually test if your memory is damaged, you need to use a tool called memtest86+ . You will have to create a bootable CD and boot through CD for the test. Run it overnight and it will report any errors found. Link : http://www.memtest.org/ Memory brand wise, i would say Corsair and Kingston is the valuable brand to go. There is more brand to choose from but most of them produce high performance modules. NO difference in any memory manufactured except for its timing and latency and the memory chips they used. Usually on the laptops, i find that Samsung memory module works very well and through my usage experience, they seem to be able to "handle" heat trap to some extent. -
57KG for the optimal weight. Anything lower or higher isnt good. Hmm, looks like i need to put on a good 6KG.. gasp..

I will neither twist or stay.Long term relationship which i currently have one, 7 years needs alot of trust and commitment. Since your current girlfriend seems to be having her own pace of life, I did suggest you to get know more girls before settle on another one. Forgive me for giving a simple advice, love and relationship is my weakest point
