People who use Windows mostly say nice stuff about them. This is largely because people who use Windows , in the main, are incredibly ignorant about computing (ie. the masses of consumers, not creative professionals who need to get work done, get *paid* for a living). We know this because we know that they voluntarily and of their own free will use Windows.
AOL users, on the other hand, at least have the decency to feel slightly embarrassed about themselves, which indicates that they are, at least on average, slightly less intelligent than Windows users, if that's possible. But then, so is the green stuff at the back of Tannin's fridge.
Couldn't agree with your more Tea, lol
Let me know when you win an Academy Award for Editing. Walter Murch, he's even written an editing book- the ignoramous! After using a Windblows/Avid Editing system that cost much less than was the normal for the Academy Award winning "The English Patient", Murch ever the trail blazer, looked to an even greater cost effective system that came in on budget @$100k, including the FC fiber optic network they used in Bulgaria (oops, I think it was Hungary), that being 4 Apple G4 1Ghz towers as his editing suite for the Academy Award winning 'Cold Mountain'. A favorite speaker at the local Los Angeles Final Cut Pro User Group meetings, he explained how pleasantly surprised he was at how easy and efficiently the Apple OSX system and FCP software suite worked for him (that was way back when FCP was still at version 3.0- before the huge amount of other formerly very costly software packages bought out by Apple, that now come integrated in FCStudio at greatly reduced cost, that now allow low budget independent movie makers the more equal chance to make better movies than the usual crap that comes out of corporate Hollywood- was available). Pretty much a legendary editor in the movie industry Tea, don't suppose you've heard of him? People use what they are familar with (Windblows) not because it's superior, but because they don't know any better (ignorant). Pioneer cost-cutting professional movie editor Walter Murch knows better.
Tea is probably too young to remember the days when Nikon ruled supreme in the 35mm pro camera market. Then something happened, upstart Canon surpassed Nikon with a great range of lens the pros eventually flocked to. Same will happen with Apple's professional market, the creative people who get *paid* the money to get stuff done! Only in CGI, where Linux based workstations have the lead, is Apple trailing, but hot on their heals too with recent acquisitions of big name software companies that consumers haven't a clue about...pros know. people that Tea is ignorant about. Why is everyone keep linking to the same Galbraith that I did in my prior post, don't they read??? (oh, I see, everyone has me on ignore....hehe).
Expresscard 34 or 54 readers will get the data off your memory card fastest as card readers go, limited only to the current chipset (think it's an Intel choice) in your computer, not the SATA standard- it's faster than FW800, and faster still than USB 2.0. For the thousands they charge, you'd think they could put an SATA port on one of these big, bulky dSLR's with such high MP sensors, how much extra would it cost? If you're not in a hurry, USB 2.0 cable directly connected, is fast enough to transfer small numbers of RAW images from camera to computer.
Constantly removing memory cards from the camera just because you need the highest speed transfers seems dumb to me, the more times you plug something in and out the more it gets to the point of wear problems with the interface...something sexual in that I think
. Just put a decent speed port on the camera so you don't have to remove the mem. card.
