The other consideration is write speed. I will take a singe 8MB card that writes at 30MB per second over 4 that write at 4MB.

The car is a tad underexposed in #2, and I'd like the lighthouse to be a bit further from the car. It looks like it might be growing from the hood. Sort of a CRX unicorn. ;) Fun car though. I miss my Honda more than anything else I have owned.

I'd like to add a +1 to everything that Bad Andy said. He's pretty much hit the nail right on the head.

If you have automatic updates set to a weird time (when your not around) it will fire itself up, install the updates, and then go back to sleep. But if the update requires a restart it will restart and require you to go through the whole ordeal. Mine did it a few nights ago.

I've never found one that I was really happy with, but I've only had four. I end up getting a new one every year or so, and then selling it when the little event that I bought it for is past because for most of my photos I simply don't like the P&S lack of versatility. I don't mind carrying...

Windows Media Center has always just worked fine for me, and it's free. As long as you have a decent sound card and good speakers, it should be just fine.

Well the big question I have is what is the OP's budget for glass? If you're only rocking the 18-200, then I highly suggest the D90 and spending the other $600 on glass. If the camera is an independent purchase, and you've budgeted to buy some lenses as well, D300s all the way. Either camera...

Just as an honest statement: HDR exists to allow you to increase tonal range in an image where only one image would have left you with underexposed shadows or washed out highlights. The shots you have up look like they were taken during a bright day with very little shadows, so I can't tell what...

That first daytime one looks a little flat. Try going down to F22 and getting everything in focus, or down to F3.5 and select one element to have in focus in the photo. I like the composition though.

I think that if you get a chance to shoot it again, the zoom and a slightly larger aperture should yield some very nice shots. And as the child of two retired E-8's I can understand that one fully. Thank you for your service.

Hey now, I got the joke immediately and I'm one of the younger ones (if I remember right). :) Some very cool pics this week.

The registry is probably an example of an overzealous prosecutor rushing things through. The city and WMart are probably going to be handed their a**es in the lawsuits.

More levels of sensitivity, keys with displays (so you know what they do, because each can be assigned unique functions), the scroll ring has four functions, the pen is redesigned (.5" shorter, so it's a bit easier to use), etc... There's a lot of changes.

Hahahaha... Congrats on the win.
