I'll second Flash In The Pan for president

Mine was an Olympus C50Z, 5MP in 2001 (just came out in Italy then), and quite frankly thought it was a pretty good PS! Still being used by my son, although I had to replace the zoom mechanism after dropping it (by mistake obviously) in 2005.

A bit (quite a bit) of fun at Disney! The next picture shall show, fruity, please.

Although I live in Italy and the increase in the UK does not affect me as such, I think it is dismaying that Canon and Nikon both intend to increase prices for what is simply an excuse, not a reason (and I would guess an increase here in mainland Europe is not far away either). :shake: In these...

Thanks guys!

I would like some advice: I have been thinking of getting a monopot for greater mobility (I already have a tripod). I can get my hands on a new Manfrotto monopod 790B for about 29 Euros (roughly 25 pounds). Is this a valid monopod? I have a Nikon D40x, will it be compatible? Thanks to all in...

:lol::lol::lol::lol:

Hello Quaker, I shoot a D40x and have the remote controller. Mine does not shoot if I activate the remote controller from behind the camera. It will only do so if I position the controller just in front. Therefore it depends what you mean when you say "from behind the camera". If you mean...

Hi Susanne, Just got back on TP after some forced time off. :shake: So you're going to AlKhobar.:thumbs: That's on the east coast, and generally not as "closed" as Riyadh. Mind you, the humidity will be very high in summer. And at least you can go to the beach in summer (you can't swim...

Great! Thanks for sharing!:clap:

Cannot see what all the argument here is all about. :shake: I am a Ferrari fan, but like most people respect the result of the track .... and this year Hamilton has won it. Well done Lewis. And well done to Filipe for keeping it open up to the last corner! And bring on 2009 for a new...

Nope, I guess you don't have to worry :D. When are you guys planning to leave to go to Saudi?

Hi Susane, I worked and lived in Saudi from June 1989 to December 1994. So things could have changed a bit since then, but their mentality probably hasn't. I was in a little town about 80km South of Riyadh, called Al Kharj. My family (wife) was with me from 1991 till the end, and my first...

This is now turning into a "knock Italian" thread and not worth pusuing anymore. Thanks for the fun. :shake: FIA will judge whenever, and whoever was ACTUALLY (not OPINIONATEDLY) wrong will be judged accordingly. :)

Funny, everybody remembers this which happened MANY moons ago, but everyone has forgotten Hamilton running in the back of Kimi IN THE PITLANE? I understand and really uphold patriotism (like I like to see Ferrari and Ducati win), but a short memory ...!
