2009/5/4-6 [Consumer/Camera] UID:52944 Activity:high | 5/4 Which Canon dSLR should I buy?
\_ The cheapest one you can get away with, and the most expensive

(constant f/2.8 and below) hardly ever depreciate, and some

2009/4/17-20 [Consumer/Camera] UID:52860 Activity:moderate | 4/17 I never went to film school or even studied cinematography. Maybe
that's why I don't get Pulp Fiction. Can someone explain to me
why it's so great?
\_ so ignoring the trolls for a second, let's assume you don't have
to enjoy a film to internalize why it is notable. The
cinematography is good, but this is not why people fawn over it.

but I am considering buying a Canon G10 to have something small I can
carry around all the time and take into "hazardous conditions" where
I would not bring my SLRs [water, climbing, other hands free/bag free
situations]. Any thoughts on the Canon G10 ... limitations an SLR
person would care about? Alternative/comparable models to consider?

35mm film that I'd like to digitize then toss away. What's a good
35mm film scanner these days?

removal" that actually works. Removing dust via photoshop is going

with teen girls by the pool.
\_ Are free condoms available like in the Olympic Village?

take my girlfriend up to see the view from somewhere near SSL. Also, is
there a particularly good lookout point?

2009/10/27-11/3 [Recreation/Dating, Health/Eyes] UID:53473 Activity:nil | 10/28 I am a perfect man and I am never wrong. I tried to read the following
color blindness test and I cannot read it even though people around
me claim that they can read it. I think this is impossible because
I am a perfect person and I don't have color blindness and I find
