    Mike - is the Actuation number not held within the camera? I was under the impression that this could only be changed by a factory reset, not a user one? Never try to eat more than you can lift

    Boogieman. I tried 3 or 4 suits, and have seen pretty much everything on the market over the course of a year or so. In the end, the ones i liked best were Sonic, Ouragan and Boogieman Ouragan - really nice but WAY overpriced, and do not last any better than the other two Sonic - Good, not too expensive, Bogieman - No faults whatsoever, hardwearing, some good features and nice styling too - and Fabien is a good guy who will work closely with you to get you what you want.

    That's because the AFDB that the rest of them were wearing reflected the camera lights too much, so they couldn't use the footage... Never try to eat more than you can lift

    Ah s*** i could have sworn i had written this post because i have exactly the same problems. Damn, may be time to scour for a new camera.... Never try to eat more than you can lift

    Ah you obviously have one of those transparent canopies Never try to eat more than you can lift
  13. Stumpy
    Not necessarily but that wasn't my point. You implied that at Eloy, "slow" canopies should land at the south. Just made me laugh because presumably that came from the fact that YOU want to land at the North! For the record, i'm in agreement, separate landing areas would be better. But then, define Slow, Fast, Swoop etc. 270's shouldn't be done in traffic. Never try to eat more than you can lift

    98% of the jumps i did at Eloy i landed in the South area after our cameraman was nearly taken out on final by someone doing a 270 virtually on top of him. I just think its a weird thing to say that the "slow" people should land in the south thats all. Never try to eat more than you can lift

    Seriously - get Picasa - its the best photo organisation software out there and its free! (IMHO) Never try to eat more than you can lift

    Sorry should have been clearer - are the "fast" canopy pilots supposed to land in the north area and the "slow" canopy pilots in the south one? I don't remember that being a rule when i was there. Never try to eat more than you can lift

    And do you keep your tens of thousands of photos on iphoto? Do you have any problems? Thats the suckiest bit of software i think Apple have produced - the one thing i think the PC is better at is Picasa. Never try to eat more than you can lift

    I would assume he means THIS, an excellent forum where I have learned TONS of stuff. I take my real photography questions there (no offense, DZ.com photo experts ). I did a google search earlier today in response to your original post and most of the discussions I found were on POTN. Bingo!! Whenever i sound like i know what i am talking about (bear with me here ) i pick up a lot of info from there. Its a creat site, however its VERY canon focussed. If you have a nikon there may be better places. Never try to eat more than you can lift

    Exactly. There are a few threads on POTN about this if you look, but form memory most people seemed to thing reformatting was less messy. Never try to eat more than you can lift

    Well i recently discovered the best coffee i ever had in my life here in new zealand - Wellington to be precise. I understand the first part of beating an addiction is to admit it: "My name is Dave, and I am a coffee addict" (It doesn't help that my company has a full on professional espresso machine in the employees kitchen area and you are allowed to help yourself...)
