But how would you know for sure if you don't get one in the first place?
I mean, if you do end up buying a thousand dollar camera after a relatively short while of getting this one, you should've had skipped the previous and saved the money to expand your glass.

Good, that was going to be my next suggestion, followed by Wood and a wood burner. :D

I guarantee you I won't. If I do, I'll buy you one of them fancy thousand dollar lenses. Cameras just aren't really my thing, although that doesn't mean I want to buy trash.

When it comes to DSLRs I'm a bit of a Pentax junkie! Probably cuz I already have nice lenses for that stuff.

Still have a 6 megapixel body, but hey the lenses will all move over...

Lately I'm too lazy to tote the DSLR so carry a meh Oly PnS and the crappy Droid 2 Global.

Oly Stylus 1030 it is. 14 megapixels, so stupid. It can't take pics good enough for that many pix to matter. I got it for $100 so not a bad semi-disposable.

But how are you sure that you're sure that you can offer me a guarantee?

because I won't buy one soon after (if ever) I buy this one, so I won't have to buy you a lens.

OMG all the kids just showed up in what was my quiet old man bar. They're playing Die Antwoord on the juke, which I love, but damn they just won't stop talking and laughing. It was better a few minutes ago when it was quiet and cozy like the womb.

LesterOfPuppets 06-24-12 11:12 PM

ZOMG just got poured the strongest whisky + coke on the planet. I may die.

Coke has no place in a hero's death. You will not be missed. :p

LesterOfPuppets 06-24-12 11:39 PM

Damn. Coca Cola rules my life. Oh well, I did see this recently...

i checked out both cameras more specifically and of the 2 i would still choose the canon, technicaly lower MP count but IMO canon typically has higher quality sensors than fuji, as well as better glass, and a rechargeable battery so you dont have to buy other batteries or end up forgetting them
since it has a smaller form factor youll wind up bringing it around more and because of that youll be using it more, thus more bang for your buck
that fuji will never fit in a pocket and itl be too heavy even if it did, youll find yourself buying nonsense to carry it around with or bringing a bag just to have it

nikon makes a good p&s that has 16 mp 10x optical zoom and lots of nifty little features, my first digital camera when i was around 13 was a coolpix and it served me well till i moved up to the big leagues
ive since then been a loyal follower of the nikon glass & sensors, which seem to perform better than any other sensors in low light (save for digital backs which is beyond anything youll be concerned with anyway)

Yesss!

Nagrom_ 06-25-12 12:30 PM

I'm back. That was the best trip to walmart in my life. lol.

Foot felt perfect, no issues at all, even with side to side wiggling getting in/out the straps.
There's an overpass on the way. My legs were feelin' it. Guess I'm back to square one, ride as much as possible.

It was amazing.

I bought one of these last week, and I think chrisss bought one too. He definitely bought some type of Focus.

there's two sizes left at $3000 on realcyclist

I also hit 24-hour greasy Mexican food joint alone. They gots no wifi, so no awesome food posts ;)

Lost a bearing ball from my BB, I shouldn't have touched it anymore....

hamfoh 06-25-12 03:04 PM

took my bike apart to clean it and properly torque it. as I was wiping it down I noticed that the 'scratches' I thought I had on the N had no appeared to have spread. worried about unstable aluminum now. opinions? I've already emailed mike at mash about it, not building it back up until I get some assurance heh.

someone from here (forgot your bfssfg username!) said cosmetic, but I swear its the exact same scratch that was half the size a month ago

4 days away from the race I'm holding too, heh.

yummygooey 06-25-12 03:06 PM

Does not look structural.

ddeadserious 06-25-12 03:10 PM

I'd send Cinelli a photo and see what they say. Otherwise I'd just keep riding it and keep an eye on that area.

Spoonrobot 06-25-12 03:11 PM

Looks like a finish issue.

When I painted my steel frame I biffed my clearcoat and after riding it there were cracks in the finish whenever the frame was stressed from regular riding. Your N looks like it's in a high-stress area.
