Sad thing is that sales folks even at places where you think that they should know better use this. I had a sales guy at a local camera store tell me straight faced that I really wanted to get the more expensive camera because it had 8.2 m-pixels where the one I was looking at had only 8. He said that when I would print, instead of a 5x7 I would get a 4 1/2 x 6 1/2 because of the fewer pixels.

Maybe if you print at about 600DPI

You get what you pay for, well, most of the time. Ever notice that 99% of the calls are positive all the time? If I were to complain about a product on the air, is their like a punishment or something? You rarely ever hear a negative comment on the air. And if you do to a retailer, it's either NIKON or CANON.....and if you disagree and tell why which ever is better, they get pissed lmao. Canon is better by the way haha, but Nikon kicks but in the Flash world.:rolleyes: :p


canon weight ;)

If it were that simple. This guy was convinced that the 30D with it's 8.2 m-pixel could print 5x7 but the XT couldn't because it only had 8.0 m-pixel At first I thought he was kidding, but he was dead serious. I got to wonder how many times the spiel worked for him though.


Not sure why, but call me JJ.
I used to hate math but then I realised decimals have a point.

I don't want a Snoopy phone. I want one of those miracle excercise things you put on yourself that'll let you watch TV while it makes your muscles excercise. I'll look like one of CharlesU's models after using one!

I tried one of those once.
Never worked.

But what really can you expect from being electrocuted.


every mistake is a lesson learned
