Great_Nate Exactly, if you still have the digital image, having your prints go to crap dosen't really matter. Still I like the fact that its cost half the amout compared to current ink jet printing.

Great_Nate I never liked any live action versions of anime/manga. I saw a few episodes of the GTO live action, and I didn't like it. It didn't give the same feeling that the anime and manga did, nor was it as funny. I got the NANA live action moive a few months ago,...

Nikon or Canon?

vintage_blowout @vintage_blowout (277) • Philippines 18 Jan 07

For photography enthusiasts, there is still a long-waging battle between Nikon SLR camers or Canon SLRs. Which do you think is best and why? I'd like to invest in a good SLR camera soon.

Great_Nate I myself just got a Nikon D50. Canon is just as good as Nikon. Features are more or less the same. Just go to a store and handle both cameras and see which one feels the best.

Great_Nate Indeed a good camera helps but a "bad" camera will have some impressive shots in the hands of a good photographer. That is a great shot. I'm still getting use to my digital SLR. At least your camera has a macro mode so you can shoot like that. I'd like...

Anyone here know how to set the date on a stopwatch?

I think you have to be a rocket scientist to comprehend the instructions. If you have a stopwatch, please give me step by step instructions.
