My cheapo Canon 1DII just showed up. I checked the shutter actuations first... 613,000. Six hundred thousand loving pictures this thing has taken. That is amazing.

STR posted:(speaking of, she doesn't like me using condoms, and I know drat well my pull out game isn't that great, so it's been Russian Roulette). Queue Archer meme: Do you want a ruined life? Because that's how you get a ruined life. CAT INTERCEPTOR posted:One of the companies I now do paid work for replace cameras for their full timers at 1 million actuations. I think my jaw hit the ground when their guy they had sent to Aust to supervise the job I was at told me that... I thought I had my cameras working hard at 1900 photos that day but nope he did 6000. The next day I decided to ramp it up and did 2000 per camera, which was still 1500 behind him. Still, four of us over three days.... 40,000 photos for a fairly small event. These guys do Ironman events so on the really big days, you got some cameras doing 5 digit shutter clicks. Reverse order response -- I paid $90 for a 1DII with a 6 month warranty. I'm coming at this from a completely different perspective from yours. You're doing awesome pro-level sports work, which is demanding and can absolutely use all of the features of a high-end, current camera. Nobody's going to need a 4'x6' print of what you're shooting, but you could print one up if you wanted. That resolution also gives you a shitload of flexibility to crop and edit in post. HOWEVER, that does not reflect what I feel to be the other 95% of camera users, including myself. In the past 15 years there has been a multi-generational explosive evolution of camera tech, and some of the cast-offs are still very viable pieces. I started with buying a 5DII last year with 150k actuations on it for under $200. At that price, I have in my hands a full frame camera that shoots 21 megapixel images that will be every bit as good as a new camera. Strong statement, I'll stand by it. The feel of a near-pro Canon in your hand is worlds beyond a Rebel or "x0"D. It's solid, it's fast, it feels more mechanically crafted. Then, there's this 1DII. I was too cavalier when I bought it. I thought it was full frame, thinking that it was current the same time the 5D came out so it'd be full frame, but nope, it's a crop. That kinda changes my pans for it. Original thought was to go to Vegas with a full frame and a 50mm lens for under $150 to see what I could do. Now I think I'm going to go the ultimate insult and put a Sigma 28-90 on it and do the same thing. 50mm on a crop is just too narrow for me. So, I'm going to shoot the balls off of the 1D and see what happens. On the feel... well, a tired and beat 1D feels better than the 5D. It's like the difference between a 5D and the consumer models. The 1D is FAST in a way that is hard to quantify. It came to me with continuous high drive mode on and it takes four shots in the time it takes you to put your finger down and pull it up. It's truly impressive. And for $90... poo poo, everyone should have one. meatpimp fucked around with this message at 12:16 on Nov 4, 2018 |

Applebees Appetizer posted:So you'd be fine with me voting for Trump I suppose. Funny how that works, I'm an idiot for not voting, but if I voted for a candidate YOU don't like I'm even worse lol. I don't care how you vote, I think you should vote, though. It's a civic responsibility, even though it may seem unnecessary or without merit. As another election comes and goes and the results are the opposite of what the majority of the actual voters voted, it will put more pressure on "the system" to encourage reform.

To add to what Geog said, manufacturers have done a really good job in rustproofing their vehicles over the last 25 years. Yeah, your suspension components and underbody are going to get lovely to a degree, but nothing like if you were 100 miles North. Bottom line -- don't worry about your car's protection from the elements, focus on your own ability to drive in lovely conditions. That is a skill that will pay dividends.

So. There's a lot of gay and trans chat here lately. And I'm seeing it in other places closer to me, too. My cousin's daughter has been out for a number of years and she just told her dad that they're f2m. Dad is very religious and was okay with the gay, he's taking a bit of processing time for the next step. It's something I can't speak to directly, but I can understand the conflict from both sides. Which leads to the Always Sunny finale last night. For such and awesomely ridiculous comedy show, they really pulled some poo poo out last night. I'm not going to spoiler it, but drat.
