My Spending Spree!

[Metric1]

Mine is Celeron D Processor, 80GB HDD, 1.2GB RAM...

Therefore I am spending £550 on building a total new system, Core 2 Quad, 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD

yeahh, mine was P4 1.6ghz, 40gb hd, and 256MB of RAM.

LOL, 640x600 (did make me laugh).

Mine does 3300x3000 all day long.

No camera does that, or shouldn't do at least. This might explain why people use Nikons because the dimensions they do are more useful e.g. 3008 x 2000 pixels which would fit on a monitor screen better than the dimensions you mentioned, which also means it would fit on A4 sheets of photo paper or canvas' without the need to crop...

Also, cameras don't change dimensions at random, unless this is a Canon thing (which aren't used alot in the photographer field. Go Nikons!)

And is your computer screen going to be 3300x3000? or are they going to have to be resized to arround 1200x800? Basicly what im trying to say is you dont need a camra expensive.

For high quality professional images.
Yes you do.

Learn about photography before attempting to act knowledgeable.

I have the book in front of me now. It says max pixels are:

3888x2592 *File Size up to 3.8MB* (My Camera is only a 10MP, the top cameras go up to 12MP)

I think it works out at 42'', well says Photoshop but in the book it says A3 - both big.

Plus I can change the overall picture size, by going into the settings and selecting the type of recording image. Atm it is on Large Normal, but I can go up to Large Fine, and right down to Small Normal Another reason for getting a better computer is to store and edit all these photos. With one photo getting up to 3.8MB... I am going to use the GB very quickly.

Vista is good for managing photos, or it is for me at least

[DarrenToogood]

I will run Vista on my computer indeed. With 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD and a Core 2 Quad processor, my new computer will certainly be the best for editing all my photos.

I am sending in applications to Stock Photography websites within the next month, and I am also going to setup a white box.


Just opened up a document size of 3888x2592 and it is 55'' in width, which is the same as 1.5m

Trying to brag? Doesn't work, see sig.

[DarrenToogood]

Yours is pretty much the same as mine will be, however I already have a 7950GT graphics card.

fgs, u always brag, he's not bragging, he's simply bought something and wanted to share it with us stop trying to butt in on his thread and show off something else. Also i don't know why people are flaming him for liking photography, it may be very pleasurable and may be a good hobby, people are into these sort of things.. Good luck in future mate, you seem to have a good talent (Y) .
