Epiphany is over now... it's snowing and the roof is open. Lovely.

The guy's coming to put the glass in the balcony at 8. So I'll then spend much of the day downstairs doing car audio planning and the re-painting of my old angleopoise style lamp in vivid gloss blue.

I'm not sure exactly what codec we use for upload but since it's all only youtube, it's not a huge problem. I'd sure as hell hope that running a €1000 software package - in this case FC Pro - would allow professional use.

Looking forward to seeing Ogg and Theora in HTML5.

As far as the AV is concerned... consider it a service. S&D is not as good as others (malwarebytes is one that springs to mind) but they are all only retroactive tools, rather than a defence. And they can't remove everything.
Any AV is only as good as its definitions and technology. Same thing with Mac - for itself cool and the way they're distributing apps is excellent ("I'm off to try and find something to buy!" is the quote I get from above). If only MS could learn from it... but then there would be "MONOPOLY!" calls...

.. and you won't get any improved software, will you?

there's a new version of the product out each year on the AV market - it gets lighter and smarter each time...

Bret

the shutter will close when the battery runs out.

Overheating? errr... no. You'll probably get more thermal noise in warm climes with 30C, but if you're like me and want 3 hours, then you'll need a PSU and colder weather.

We overheated a 7D with 35+ and constant filming.

Bret

... there are instructions on the web as to how to use compressed air... keep the can upright and well away from the sensor and there's stillenough power to move dust.

Now I read more...
the UHS is within the card and not necessarily externally. Sandisk don't have an SDXC card, so for the moment I'd probably stick with 32GB Extremes or try a Kingston. They're ten times the price of a 16GB, though....

Bret

UHS speed class essentially defines 100MB/sec transfer rates and the SDXC support is for the card size and not necessarily for the speed of the cards.
