How much audio is available in better-than-CD quality?

@DeadWolfBones JPEG LOL

I'd like a way to hide various elements (eg the calendar, twitter feed, etc). Have them roll up, blind style, like iGoogle widgets. Remember it with a cookie.

In Raw there is very little difference at all. Nikon has stronger noise reduction in JPEG.

Nice. Good price too. The Pentax comes in with 35% lower price, a couple less FPS and only 11 AF points but keeps the weather sealing, HD video and SR. Sounds about right.

Let's get back to the important point here: the post title. nix some and move you to before movies. Solved.

"Full frame" isn't a magic bullet. It's nice to have for some shooting styles and entirely unsuitable for others.

You're not getting a mortgage. It's just a camera dude.

There are many more cameras out there than the crippled (in some ways) gear Canon and Nikon are putting out.

If you can't use it while it's lent out then there shouldn't be a time limit on it (assuming you can take it back if necessary). Sure, better than nothing, but still overly restrictive IMO.

Ah you are correct right - or rather I'm wrong. The XPS m1330 was around 2KG and the Studio 13 is 2.2kg but I was thinking of the 11Z (1.35 kg) not this 13Z which is, as you say, nearly the same weight as the XPS notebooks.

I guess the difference is with the 13Z you get better battery life, a little less weight and a little less speed (though not enough for most people to notice) and for a better price (vs Studio 13).
