Re: Full-frame Camera Recommendation? - 3 years ago

Quoterobfilms if i may ask further, why full frame? yes, i am aware of the standard answers but if you look at most images. it would be very difficult tell tell the difference between crop sensor and full frame. True but out of curiosity and future proofnedness.

Ergonomically, Canon is pretty good for me, Sony is fine, Olympus is small and Nikon felt "off".

Re: Full-frame Camera Recommendation? - 3 years ago

Okay, thanks for those suggestions! I will have a look and, more importantly, a feel. I didn't like how Nikon felt in the hand a few years back but Canon felt at home in my paw.

I know some of you are photo buffs so here goes. What would be the choice for a full-frame weather-sealed DSLR with no consideration for video? A knock about camera. Thanks!

Tempered Glass Shattered or iPad Mini? - 4 years ago

Hi all, my wife purchased an iPad mini a few months ago and she put a tempered glass protector on it. Last night, I noticed all these crack lines on the face of the iPad which went diagonally across it, some from edge to edge. It certainly looks and feels like the iPad is damaged. My wife claims that it is only the tempered glass that is damaged and not the iPad itself.I am not sure so we are

QuoteMr Downtown Interesting neighborhoods to stroll: Kensington Market (young, funky, maybe not so easy with a stroller); adjacent Chinatown; College St. west of Spadina; The Distillery District (festival market/restaurants); and The Beaches area on Queen St. East.

Re: my sore cycling butt - 4 years ago

You need to get a good professional fit done. Your sore ass is most likely the result of changes in your body over the past ten years. Pro cyclists are fitted for their bikes every season. It makes sense to get a fitting done once every few years for regular cyclists. If you look on the Francis Cade Youtube channel he has a video where he interviews James (Bikefit James) about saddles and the

Quotewowzer QuoteIronMac Police officers are NOW supposed to run into an active shooting incident at a school and take down the shooter(s) as quickly as possible. At the time of Columbine it was thought best to wait outside and see what was happening. They are supposed to run into gunfire? I don’t know if the courts would agree with that. Don't be silly.
