Actually it is 29.8GiB this is caused by the industry using base 10 rather than binary when giving the size so it will always be wrong.

1000x1000x1000 vs 1024x1024x1024

1000000000 vs 1,073,741,824

That is quite a loss of space.

The Class system is no good as Sandisk Extreme cards can only be rated at class 10 maximum even though they should be class 20-45 depending on the model.

You need to know a lot more than the class to get any good information about a card.

I was there round about July-Aug 1996 quite a sight. They don't seem to bothered with the number of people, although those look like they are trying to sleep.

Is that a young one with the brown down?

Might be worth asking staff working for flickr. I know the White House have a flickr page.

It can be useful sometimes and I can find it hard to reproduce some of the effects later. If I get something I like with in camera PP I'll keep it. Don't use it often though, it did come in handy with the model shoot I recently did. Sort of like what Don mentioned. It is annoying that our laptop, even though small, has a relatively large power brick and short battery life.

I like my camera to remember most of the time. It is just I forget sometimes if I am doing something fast. It is great how much customisation is available on Pentax cameras.

Drives me nuts though when I have to take my wife's camera as a second body as some settings are different. Have slowly been converting her over to my settings

da BOMB!
seriously.. you import your music into imovie (latest version) open up the advanced audio menu, mark all your beat-markers then start dragging in images and video clips from your media box

Aperture has some wicked slideshow abilities itself!

i think you should check out muvee for pc..
link[/quote]Thanks Don, but not quite what I was after.

Crashes my GPU constantly and doesn't have many options. You have to stick to the boundaries of the styles. I want something where I control the transitions, pans, zooms and placement of the photos but not as complex and irritating as premiere elements.

I'm going into town later to have a play at the Apple specialist store. I'll see if what they have there is what I need and save up if necessary.

I need a separate portable machine at some point anyway.

Does that mean you also love the 70s?

It can be interesting in some situations but has ruined a couple of shots I have taken with the DA*16-50.

I don't envy you, been trying to get premiere elements to play nice just to make a bloody slide show. I think I'd be better off with iMovie '11 but I can't find out as I don't have a Mac. Premiere Elements is slow, cumbersome, overly complicated and a memory hog to boot. Also, getting Ken Burns effects is a complete pain in the backside as you cannot highlight your start and end regions and set the transition speed/acceleration/declaration. You have to set up loads of damned key-frames. Argh! Oh and I also got PSE9 to test out the content aware heal. My manual work is a lot better even though it takes hours.

/rant

PS. How good is iMovie/iPhoto for slide shows synchronized to music?

That would end up with a loss of all photographic privileges.

That depends whether they also took into account all the attached jewelry or if you lost that.

I didn't even notice the shadows
