my suggestion would be the T3i for a beginner with the kit lens. As the previous poster said, it's not the best lens, but for a starting point, it's not too bad.
Ideally, though, if it is something you may want to expand with, check out used or refurbished Canon Cameras. You can get a gently used 5D or a 7D for about the same price as a brand new T3i. Even go as far as looking at a 50D or 60D.
Benefits are that when you get out of the digital Rebel line, you get out of the plastic bodied cameras and get into the magnesium alloy bodies, which hold up better over time.
Keep in the back of your mind that the camera bodies are the disposable part of the equation now days, and you should make a larger portion of your investment in the lenses. A good lens will last a long time. Also, you can put a crappy lens on a crappy camera and you get crappy image quality. Crappy lens on great camera still will yield crappy image quality. Put a great lens on a crappy camera and you will get great image quality (assuming your camera's sensor is somewhat current). Put that great lens on a great camera, and you get great image quality.... (this does not take into account your skills)

Hello,
Is it possible to browse through the file system on the iPad2? Is there a home directory where I can organize my documents, music, videos, etc? I like to be able to create new folders.
I am not talking about doing this through iTunes, as sometime I am always on the go and would like to create a directory based on my clients. I am just wondering is it possible to create and delete folders, and browse thought them on the iPad?
Many thanks for any suggestions,

Question about ethics:
If i originally posted it for $120 shipped but get a higher offer shortly after the first "dibs" (fairly substantial) is it faux pas to sell to the higher bidder?
Well you didn't post it as an auction, but ultimately its your call I believe.

My early 2008 Macbook Pro just died after two and a half years. When I brought it into the Apple Store, they said my logic board had failed and wasn't my nVidia 8600GT. $1,100 to replace. I said no thanks.
I'll be needing a laptop this Sept for school and the new Macbook Pros look awesome. Is there anything about them I should be afraid of?? I don't want it to break down.
My original core duo macbook pro just died after 5+ years of daily use. The graphics card died (non-nvidia, so not covered). It would have been $900 or so to replace the logic board in the apple store, but they also have a flat rate repair that's $300 or so that will cover shipping to their repair facility in TX, and then cover labor and absolutely any parts that need replacing. I hadn't realized this was an option -- it's like paying $300 or so to have your laptop covered like it was under applecare again.
I love the 2011 mbp I'm typing on right now, and I'm sure you will love yours too, but if I could pay $300 and have a 2008 mbp working again? I'd do it. In the end I even paid the flat rate to have my original mbp repaired. For $300 I've definitely got uses for it, and it has sentimental value (I wrote my dissertation on it). I would presume that you could pay the $300 to have it fixed and then sell it for much more than that if you just wanted to help finance your new machine.
Potentially worth looking into. I'm surprised it's not more publicized as a service.

Hey All,
I am a newbie and I had read these forums for sometime now and Really didnt want to input my ideas since there was so much of resourceful people in this forum. anyhow I would really like to ask someone maybe someone a expert at it. I have a Apple Iphone 4 which my friend bought from italy since I didnt want to be tied to a contract or pay At&t for a locked phone anyway since I do travel overseas a lot. The model number it shows on the about page states is as MC605IP, I just want to know wether is this a factory unlocked phone or not.. Cuz Im kind of scared of updating it and loosing the unlock. it anyhow has Cydia installed.

I like it, but I think the 'transitions' are too quick.
Well considering the 30 second time limit it's not too bad at all :D , I'm sure if it was able to be longer we'd have more time to get a better look at things. I sort of like how some of the things go fast, sort of like your passing through all the years of Apple history :) :cool:

Personally, I wouldn't. While the size of the display is the same same, resolution differences MAY cause issues.
Also, with the front-facing camera (if the screen protector covers the entire front of the device), it will be covered.

While everyone else is hung up on the video being flash... I was enjoying Jobs comments about the TV. How I wish Apple could have a hand in moving TV into the future. I got rid of cable 3 years ago and haven't looked back. xbox360 with Netflix streaming and a HD antenna have made me forget about cable. If someone could change how TV is presented on cable I'd be back. My gf still has cable. The only current LIVE show we watch is Breaking Bad. Comcast sucks. Almost every channel breaks up. She has 3 HD AMC channels. WHY? Why not one that doesn't break up on screen. My friends all have the same problem. Overall the idea I have to tune into a TV show at a set time is old.

the inline view is kinda the important bit though!
then why allow to post using it ?
Yeah thats a good point. You are preaching to the choir, I really miss the feature (hence asking Loren about it). I don't imagine it will be too much longer before the 'Services' option in the iPhone version goes as well.

Just to chime back in on this one - as with the previous poster, the first update to DP2 worked flawlessly for me too. I wonder how/if we'll know when Apple fix the download...?

No but I got Apple TV and AirPlay is awesome-sauce.
Same here, I also have a WP7 Samsung Focus and wish there was a App to get it to work with Apple TV. My whole home surround/HDTV System is connected to my Apple TV so I can stream all my music and video from my iPad to my system.. It's awesome!!!

There is a technique to upgrading the RAM of the computer that often goes amiss for those who do it themselves. There is a flathead plastic screw between the function keys that if it isn't turned back right, the keys get loose. To add to the confusion there is another screw underneath a magnet that needs to be placed back the right direction when finishing the job. The magnet is under the keyboard. Better to let an authorized technician do the RAM update than anybody else.

On the topic of Apple Store from 1997, does anyone have archives of old on-line www.apple.com from the years 1999-2004? I am interested in seeing those PowerPC ads from the last 10 years.. I know there is an archive of older www.apple.com websites showing the PowerMacs, PowerBooks, etc..

What happened? Maybe it's because Macs are selling like crazy on their reputation and word of mouth. Why bother spending millions on TV advertising if you don't have to?
Last time I checked, PCs have always outsold Macs over the past two decades.
They simply gave out the wrong message in my mind, focusing more on the weaknesses of a competitor's product rather than focusing on the strengths of its own. When I used a PC I just thought they were stupid, and didn't shine a good light on Apple, it's products or it's users. When I got a Mac, they made me cringe. Good riddance.

i am testing out and reviewing both cases also, i have noticed that the screen shields that come with it are thicker then some others and if you use them it causes a very little bit of watermarking, i am using a hishop front and i also tried sgp front screen protector and had no watermark on the back, could just be the cases i got. i had no problems installing the case at all it was very easy but getting it off was pretty hard. ill have a full review up at some point when i finish really using and testing them out.
