Re: [CGUYS] Camcorder with hi-res stills
I can second your familiarity point. I bought the S5 for my wife and because the setup and menu is so like the Canon A620 the learning curve was almost nonexistent. - Original Message - From: Jeff Wright [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: COMPUTERGUYS-L@LISTSERV.AOL.COM Sent: Sunday, January 06, 2008 10:14 AM Subject: Re: [CGUYS] Camcorder with hi-res stills I was looking at the Lumix (I can't help but read that as lummox) and the Canon S5. Both are very nice cameras and are priced about the same. I ended up getting the Canon as it has the hot shoe and uses AA batteries, as opposed to the proprietary battery that Panasonic uses. Also, after reading a few reviews of the cameras (dpreview the most thorough), the Canon was rated a bit higher, despite the shorter lens, and has a better macro feature. I also already own a Canon Powershot, so familiarity plays a part too. I may not ever use the hot shoe, but I like having the option. I haven't had a chance to try the Canon out yet, but I will today. -Original Message- From: Computer Guys Announcements and Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jeff Miles Sent: Saturday, January 05, 2008 4:14 PM To: COMPUTERGUYS-L@LISTSERV.AOL.COM Subject: Re: [CGUYS] Camcorder with hi-res stills Another one you might want to look at is the Panasonic DMC-FZ18. It's an 8.1 MP with an 18x optical zoom Leica lens. That's the equivalent of a 35-504mm still camera zoom lens. It's movie function also works fantastic. I just checked it out after reading this post. I don't use the movie function often (if at all). But when I need it, it's there and it's great quality. Now I just need a larger card. My 512mb ain't going to cut it if I decide to start taking movies. Panasonic recommends a 10mb high speed card, what ever that is. Anyway, this camera has more features then I've been able to use yet. Absolutely fantastic for only $350. It cost $500 at Panasonic, but only $350 if you go to buy.com. The couple of things I don't like about it and most other digital cameras is it lack of a hot shoe or flash sync., not that I own any studio lights or flashes anymore, it's just the thought. I'd also like a digital with a bulb setting and a shutter release that allows me to screw in a cable release to hold the shutter open till eternity if I'd like. But I have to get realistic, how often did I actually use that feature on my Nikon F3? A couple of times in 15 years. Also this camera almost doesn't need a flash (though it has one). It has infrared focussing, will focus in the dark. And takes a great picture (color corrected and all) under even the worst of conditions. After looking at the large flat screen HD tvs and my experience with this digital camera I'm to this point sold on the quality of Panasonic. * == QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in == * == the body of an email send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] == * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?

While the RIAA tells us it is illegal to convert old-format media into new-format media, MS Office does them one better by blocking old file formats. Office SP3 disables the ability to open 24 file formats. Not only will Office SP3 stop opening formats from competitors, it blocks files produced by the current version of Mac Office and even older versions of Office for Windows. I guess MS has gotten sick and tired of people hanging on to older versions of Office. (Those looking for Office upgrades will also be pissed when they discover that their old versions have been declared not upgradable by MS.)

I'm slowly converting all of my LPs to cd and mp3 via this process. I think this solution much better than a dedicated turntable.

Re: [CGUYS] Vista a disappointment
Well, then here is one person that likes it. Vista came on my new notebook PC. So far I have had no trouble with it. I even like the new tricks that it can do. I'm not fanatic for it, but I don't actively dislike it. On a scale from 1 to 10, I'll give it a 6 or 7. Is that beyond particularly *likes*? You tell me. Would I loose sleep if I had to replace it with XP?

[CGUYS] Problem performing XP upgrade.
I'm stumped. When I go to shut down the computer I get a small window giving me the option to perform an upgrade and then when finished the PC will shut down. So I tell it to do the upgrade, but somewhere in the process it fails to install. I have even tried the upgrade option in Internet Explorer, but that doesn't seem work either. So how do I get this file to upgrade the OS or at least stop showing up when I want to shut down the machine? Any ideas?

The ability of those industries to have it their way is greater now than in the recent past.

I got a call today from a sometime client. A Mac user, fwiw. She couldn't get her computer to turn on, having had to force quit something yesterday. Since I couldn't understand her explanation of her difficulty, I arranged to go over and take a look at the machine. Client has a very nice eMac running System 10.4.8. When I got there, the computer was turned off. I asked how it was turned on, and she tapped the mouse a couple of times. I said: That's nice. You can do that when the computer is 'sleeping.' But it's obviously turned off right now. (She must have done a shut down instead of a force quit yesterday.) Client had no idea of what I was saying. I had never had to turn this machine on before, so it took a couple of minutes to find the on switch. It's on the right side of the machine (as you face the screen), and just behind and below the wire connections. I touched the on switch, and the computer turned on. So -- what does one charge for turning a client's machine on? I did a couple of other housecleaning things. Added a couple of bookmarks. Was there about 1/2 hour. I charged a mere $25. She thought it was a bargain. I thought it was a joke, but I had to charge something. I would be curious to hear from others though.
