"Or consider Leica cameras, they used to brag that they threw away more glass than Nikon used in a year........." And look how expensive Leica's remain.... "One of these cameras is bound to have a superior lens which will reduce the problems associated with a small CCD" The lens is...

"Deadlifts do incorporate the shoulders, forearms and back to a certain extent...hence the "everything" description" Again...shoulders/forearms are just gripping the bar....if you are using your back during the deadlift you ARE doing it incorrectly. The deadlift is hams....with glutes as a...

"I do leg presses, leg extensions and weighted calf raises to keep my legs in shape. I keep the weight extremely heavy and do low reps. I also add deadlifts to the mix because they work everything really." Hi ElectricZombie (what a cool avatar name)... Umm....I just want to make a minor...

"Those are all good exercises I can add into my go on the bowflex. It does have a nice setup for reverse curls, maybe I need to shift from strength to repitition on the reverse curls." Ummm...if you find your muscles fatiguing quickly you should not be fooling around with pyramid or any other...

As a side commentary the whole business of "stretching" has come under a significant amount of fire. The most recent research suggests that there is little benefit and possibly some risk attached to pre-exercise stretching. What I have tended to recommend to patients/clients is a 2 minute active...

"Is there any exercise ideas someone has to build up other than actually finning around" This was the question originally posed. My apologies for providing useful information that directly answers the question. Don't mind me...I am just punchy tonight with short-timers FIGMO affliction.

Yes...I noticed...however....I hope the commentary provided for the question was more useful than: "Wow, you must have really been zipping around down there" or "I'm told that Weight training will help also. So, in addition to the cardio, you'll also have strength" :rolleyes:

Oh goody...prepare yourself for a bunch of responses...I am glad I got here first for a change! Keep in mind that every individual is different and if you have any doubts about your fitness level or requirements I would suggest seeing a professional. For scuba a strong core (abs/low back)...

Hello H2Andy, To be brief .RAW images are unprocessed by the camera software and generally run 7.1Mb in size each (at least for the OLY5050z .ORF files generated). The idea is that YOU...the photographer...have full control of image manipulation in post processing as opposed to allowing the...

"Mostly though, I have only limited knowledge of camera apertures/shutter speeds, etc. and was wondering if you all could direct me in the direction of some good books, web sites, or whatever that give tips on how to start out. I just need some info. on manual use of the camera to get the best...

I have kept my MMII EX/PRO with YS-60 as a backup for my digital rig and will probably use it until it dies. Very simple operation and the lens quality is just fine for U/W use. I have the 16mm SWA, 1:2 Macro, and the high-eyepoint finder and I am willing to bet you can find this system fairly...

I suspect that within 24 months (or sooner) we are going to be well to the point of diminishing returns with regard to pixel counts. Whats the point of being able to shoot a 50Mb .RAW file when your PC will take forever to open it and editing will become slow as molasses unless you constantly...

"I would highly recommend against anything over 512.... I wouldn't have grabbed the 512 except it was too good to pass up. How many pics do you want on 1 card?" I strongly disagree with this statement IF you shoot exclusively in .RAW format. With a 1Gb CF card the OLY5050z-generated .RAW...

I use and trust the AIR II. Everyone has thier own ideas. Try it first and see what you think. Personally I like the streamlining...although the notation above about ascending and managing buoyancy while using an AIR II should be noted and practiced as it is different than using an octo (imagine...

"Because not everyone believes it's worth the ridiculously outrageous price tag" Begging your pardon but it is only "ridiculously outrageous" to YOU! And there are a million ways to get the software at a steep discount (i.e. educational discount or purchase a previous edition and upgrade...

MaresMan1..... "Does the charge light on the NiMH battery charger ever go out as the instructions say?" If you are talking about the OLY charger that came with the camera the answer is YES. It takes a LONG time for that slow piece of sh*t to complete but it does go out in the end. Just...
