Plus I hear the cup holders are in the total wrong position, if you have a "Big Gulp", it totally gets in the way of your 0-60 time of 4.2 seconds. And the G-force of acceleration and skid pad slosh your said "Big Gulp" all over the interior.
funny! lol

Nah I just cant get excited about anything mercedes really. I am sure its fast and whatever but still eh. Kind of like a plain donut...no zest to me. lol!

aleast with the new C class they went a step in the right direction, much more appealing than earlier years.

the mark ii has a higher frame rate in 1080p recording than the t1, why are you comparing apples with oranges?


not to mention they have different sensors.

as I mentioned prior, the t1 1080p 20 fps is so choppy its worthless.

and yes Ive seen the t1 recording in 1080p, not useable. In fact the 1080p recording on the t1 is absolute garbage.
the 720p recording is good though.
cheers

BTW for canon 50D users, the firmware 1.0.6 has just been released and it supposedly takes care of the vertical banding issue.

720 is more than enough for amateur photographers anyways. On most displays up to a certain size u can't tell the difference between 720 and 1080 anyways.

720 is good enough for hd televisions IMO.


anyhow anyone with the 50D and older firmware! DOWNLOAD AND UPDATE the new firmware, that's if you dont already have the new models shipped with the 1.0.6 firmware.

Mine was from the first shipments, and wowowowowowowowowow

I can use ISO up to 1250 now and still have useable pictures after the new firmware hahahahaha

yes yes yes

my 1250 is close to what I used to get at 800 ISO before the update.

and all the vertical banding is virtually eliminated, there still is slight horizontal banding however at higher ISOs but its light. Still a dramatic improvement.

Jon, i like the 2nd and 4th shot. The first would've been nice if u would've taken maybe two steps to the left and gotten all of the light post in the photo and not cut it off.

Roja, love the shot. Wish I had the opportunities that u have with being around drifting and all the teams. Closest I can get is playing GRID and racing for them. ha ha


RnB, that is WAY better than before. Even up to 3200 u could use it for b&W photos just to have a older feel to the photo.
