I referred specifically to cpu bound activity. Overall, the other factors (esp if you're still using a mechanical hard drive) diminish the gain to where you normally want to double the cpu to see...

refurbs are a funny call. In many cases, they're more reliable because in general every unit is inspected, whereas new off the time they're typically only spot checking and letting the customer do...

And also include a save of your relevant DPP release. They don't take much space and should all else fail, you can run it in an windows emulator in 2040.

I'd expect to see a more tangible difference than that for the cpu bound tasks. Per Passmark: http://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html the difference is a 55% increase in cpu speed. ...

is the text the same each time, or customized per image? imagemagick, among many, offer command line tools that allow for resizing, combining of images, etc. If the text doesn't change, you...

Andy - you're using the price of the not yet shipped II model from Canon to make your point. The I lens used to sell for 1100, and was typically 1200-1300 until very recently. It appears now that...

LOL - I was thinking exactly the same thing about you. You were trolling (more than a bit) with the title of the thread - 5dIII can only do 12x18, yet put in a clause about civil discourse only,...

but are they verifiable numbers? Sounds like BS, to be honest. The sales figures for Vista, otoh, are available in the quarter financial results for MS. It was by no means the success of XP...

Seems better to have one nearby as many (most?) of their best deals are in store only. I would have no fear of scamming from them, but a really good deal I'd wonder about their ability to fulfill...

Makes you wonder why people bothered printing 16x20s, 20x30s, or 24x36s before April 2012 when the D800 became somewhat available. Or perhaps the base assumption is false. I have one 16x20"...

It's a listed feature of CS6. http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/features.html

Are you sure it's even broken even yet? Kinect was a huge success and got it close, but there were many billions in losses in the earlier years. Bottom line - a decade ago MS made most of its...

nvidia may be announcing new quadros by then. otherwise, atis' v4900 seems to have leg up for the cheaper 10bit choices. I really want the two DP connections + third DVI.

On that subject, Asus will soon (July) be releasing the PA248Q, which is LED instead of CFL, and sRGB focused rather than wide gamut like the 246. Also will have usb3 ports.

huge improvement on sensor, but substantial step back on LV focusing. The GH2 was years ahead of its time in this regard. The OP might want to take a look at the sony NEX7 if focus speed is a...

two monitors allows you to have the grid of photos on one monitor and the closeup of one in the other. Or to have ability to use one as vertical monitor for portraits and the others as regular...

AFAIK, Photoshop only works with Firepro cards if you want 10 bits per channel color for still image editing, unless something has changed with CS6. Yes, they released it. You're unsure, but...

the other reason you'll want your wide lens is the crowd factor. You're not going to be able to back up to capture some of the buildings without adding a lot of people. The 17-40 will certainly...

Canon and every other retailer lists the price at 849. I believe that was in their press release as well. Yes, it's the more expensive of the 2, as we would expect.

those docs are over a year old. CS6 is a different game. Windows 7 + DP + 10bit gfx/monitor and you're good to go. Adobe isn't make it easy to find anything out though. You have to do a bit...
