The price of a very high spec older Mac Pro and a mid spec new one seems comparable. I would be getting the Applecare which is a big necessity.

:LOL: To a point I would agree but one of main issues I have is the reliability of the thing. I hear the new retina iMacs run pretty hot. I never planned to buy a 2013 but 2 days before my Applecare ran out on the 2010 the GPU and LCD died on me. I kid you not, it took 6 attempts by Apple to...

Good point well made.

All good points, thanks for the response. I haven't considered a used one, this would essentially be a business purchase through my company therefore it makes sense to buy a new one. If I do buy a Mac Pro it will be running 2 possibly 3 4K displays. I think for the possible 1K extra outlay...

Do you know if they're likely to update the retina iMac soon? This is also something that I'm a little concerned about.

No I mean a Mac Pro with a 4K monitor. I would say some of our CBCT software is far more resource hogging than Photoshop or any media editing software so unsure of the over spec part. Also the fact that if a monitor failed I wouldn't be down my main computer but rather a spare screen can be...

At present I have a late 2010 27" iMac which is very slow due to ageing 5400rpm HD and a newer 27" non retina iMac late 2013 (the thin new type). I'm looking to move on my 27" 2010 and replace with either a retina iMac or a Mac Pro and a couple of Dell 4K monitors. These will be used for...

Great capture! Looking forward to shooting some bikes and cars with my 7D2.

That's a bargain. I shall be sending mine off when I next get a chance.

The sentiment is nice but you can't have a liberal approach when it comes to WMDs. Iran is neither transparent, governed by NATO and generally a very volatile state. What are the chance relative to us that a rebel army puts those weapons in the wrong hands? Corbyn seems to think that all the...

They seem to offer 3 year warranty on lenses as well.

Last time we went took a Nex 5 and not an slr. It's busy/tiring enough without having to worry about heavy camera gear.

I didn't have the best experience but it seems to be fairly isolated. At present a change of location maybe causing some issues at their end. I've detailed it in the Panamoz/HDEW thread.

I cancelled my order with HDEW yesterday and was not best pleased with their lack of communications. Ordered 12 days ago, contacted them after 6 days for an update; they were moving offices and hope to despatch the following day. Contacted again 2 days later as no further updates were provided...

I have been using a Sun Sniper with my D3 for the past 7 years. There seems to be a lot more options than back then when it was just SS or BR.
