Re: The beginning's of my carputer install

that should just mean your DVD drive will get warm. I don't see an issue, there will be air movement.

That slot looks rather good.

Re: first outing with new camera...

don't be silly ;) the 7d is a work tool. This is what the k10d does.... http://www.23hq.com/23666/6308612_1f61fa8754af67cb0487ace475f400e0_large1k.jpg http://www.23hq.com/23666/6308611_96c60abe283fae7170a105225d5f0c69_large1k.jpg http://www.23hq.com/23666/6308613_8f77386fa176f384aa2f19bd50d8a399_lar...

first outing with new camera...

We've been doing a lot of video with work recently. So, after using a 7d purely for moving pics and a couple of office shots, I went out the other day with the 7d from behind my desk. It has a 17-55/2.8 on the front. The lens isn't too shabby and I think I managed to work the AF out... these are all...

Re: The beginning's of my carputer install

looks pretty good from here - the bezels are a pain no matter what.

What interface and user interface (i.e. trackball, touchscreen...) are you going to use?

we were out today and I saw a decent woodpecker up in the trees.... 200 is way too short. I want to justify a 70-200 with 2x TC and I think I just did. But the K-5 has prio first :D

there ain't much out there that runs 6 channels and is USB. I have a Terratec Phase 26 here at home, and it's OK; the DMX 6Fire at work is better sound wize but "needs" 12V AC to work. I haven't taken it apart (it's their soundcard!) to see why. Gigaport or Maya are about the only other op...

I'd want to damp the inside... with a "milkshake" of polyester and some sand or bitumen for home use.

I'd want to screw the pieces you're working on down (maybe hollow out a template?) hard. I do not trust tape for this kind of thing.

no, it's the f2.8 macro, the little brother to the just-replaced-with-WR 100mm macro.

no, we hadn't talked about the K10D. Whaddya think, anyway? I know what I want next and it's got "K-5" on the front :D. My K10 is now over 60k actuations and there's lots of hotpixels....

and legacys... they're extremely popular. Boxer Diesel works well. Diesels are now over 40% of the new registrations in Germany.

I won't talk about A3 Sportback 2.0 TDI Quattros either, then ;)
