I'm just rather insistent on having that 20mm f1.7. :) I like the styling of the GF1 the best, still, but I suppose any M4/3 body would be fine.

The Ep1 is really nice. I just got one as a down/side grade to my white GF1 :p

I just got this the other day



And it takes beautiful pictures. This was literally the second shot I snapped on the fly. I posted these on another thread...but seriously, any m4/3 offering will take amazing photos...especially with the pancake.

I know! Seeing you sell your GF1 and get an EP1 is what got me interested once again in M4/3. I'm too hesitant slash lazy to bring my DSLR around with me all the time, especially to things like skating, ski trips, etc. I'd rather bring a camera I could carry safely on my body while always being easily accessible. I was thinking of upgrading to a D90 soon, but I honestly think a second camera would be a more useful purchase.

Hopefully I pick one up soon. So far the best deal I've found is $600-700 for a USED GF1 with the pancake. Stuff is so expensive in Canada! :( Not that I haven't got the cash; I'm just always infuriated with the prices. :p

For those of us who can't afford a general contractor, there is Pro Tools. :)

When I first started with digital DAT one track, it was impossible to modify the sound therefore we had to spend time and money on fixing up the room just right. It was a terrible pain in the butt and it took 18 months to get a CD out in the early 1990s.

Recording musicians today have no idea how many options they have with software to get a great demo. Of course, the big wigs still use non parallel walled studios with all that NASA padding.

WRONG! The camera captures the photographers shot, well done. A $10,100.00 camera cant fix bad composition!

Maserati Quattroporte :D

Yeah, but it is now in need of newer engines and a general freshening up inside. I'm still go weak at the knees when I hear one accelerating. :D A single-digit salute to the conservative establishment.

I'd prefer a RR Phantom or Ghost. A blue Phantom Drophead (convertible) would be just nice actually. I'm a bit of a fan of the RR way of doing things, and I'm smitten with their quality too.

I'd like a 917 too:

Easily the most exciting car ever made. Built with real passion.

I don't find them that beautiful... I'd rather get a nice Audi (R8), BMW (M3 or M5) or Mercedes (SLS AMG) for a fraction of the price. Sure, less prestigious, but much more cost effective.

If I were going for cost effective I'd get an S-Class. The other problem with the Ghost is the absurdly dorky dashboards Rolls sees fit to put in its cars. The materials are top-notch, but the styling is Morgan-class awful.

Don't worry, most likely only 1 more recession to go:rolleyes:

Good luck though. Do NOT stop looking, and be prepared to work your arse off, as well as be willing to do 60-80hr work weeks. Such is life in the fast lane...Take the work when you can get it, because it may not be there when you most need it later.

No, such is life being enslaved by hardcore capitalism.

Desmosedici RR, the skill to ride it to its full potential and a job that would just pay me to go to trackdays and have fun all year round.
