On my previous comment, the sensor size on my current camera is "10mm" NOT "10cm." Sorry for any confusion. I was REALLY tired when I wrote that comment. Thanks!
Yeah, I think when I get the money I'm going to get a Cannon EOS Digital Rebel XT. I have a Kodak Easyshare C743, which is 7.1MP on a 10cm image sensor. I just CAN'T take pictures the way I'd like to with it. Anyway, does anyone know if the Rebel XT handles blur very well(e.g. blur from handholding the camera, subject not perfectly still, etc.)? I want a camera that will last for quite some time, and take excellent pictures in a variety of situations. It costs 700.00USD where I am, and I don't want to buy it if it is known to break, take blurry pictures, etc. I would also like to be able to do macro photography with it so any suggestions would be appreciated.
I have personaly done a side by side comparison with Bose TriPort(These), and the Shure E2c IEMs. They both cost almost exactly the same($99.99USD) and this is what I found:
Bose: Had some midrange, almost NO bass, heavily distorted treble, and I found them to be quite uncomfortable, plus they didn't block out much noise(when compared to Shure's E2c).
Shure: They had a good seal(for my ears[medium black earpieces]), the bass was quite good, not boomy at all. The treble was crisp and well defined, and sounded very good at high volume levels. The midrange is one of the best I've seen(for the price), and even at 100dB+ it sounds quite good. The low-mids and high-mids come in with excelent quality for the price.
Verdict: Shure is a brand to be reckoned with in today's headphone market. Bose has proven in most cases to NOT be audiophile quality. Bose does have a decent products, but they're all way overpriced(as of the mid 90's). Bose used to be good back in the 80's, but today they are relying on their name alone to sell products. Most of the people who buy their product don't know that for a comparable price they can get a product of much better quality from other brands. I have found shure to be superior in every way to Bose, in the fact's that they:
Don't cheat their customers(like Bose)
They back up their claims with a high quality product
They actually use some of their money to do REAL research. Bose CEO's just sit back and get rich by selling cheap product at an outrageous price, and devote little money toward research, despite what they claim.
If you want a REAL pair of headphones, fork over the $179.99USD for a pair of Shure E3c IEM's. They will completely and utterly blow away any bose headphones.
And if you're going to sell your kid's/Parents for a pair of cans, get the Sure E5c IEM's. They cost you about MSRP $499.99USD and are by far the best headphones on the market today(1/13/2007).
I have heard reports of 360s overheating but mine has never had that problem. If you put your 360 in a fairly well ventilated place(like an OPEN entertainment center, desk, ect.) then you should have no problem. Personaly, I keep mine in a fairly well ventilated, OPEN entertainment center. If you put it on shag carpet or something similar(like in an oven)you'll probalbly need a Liquid-Nitrogen cooling system or something. I play Perfect Dark Zero for hours on end and my system does get a little warm but not hat enough to fry anything inside. If you put it in an enclosed space, then it'll get probably get hot...that's what happens when you run a system with a 3.2gHz Triple-core processor in an enclosed space.
If you have no other choice, then get that Nyko Cooling system or something like it. Even the BEST Computer can overheat if you don't give it enough ventilation (unless it's liquid cooled like this bad boy, then you might not have to worry as much). In other words, just give it a bit of air and it'll be fine.
