Ah i see. Well the 60d is obviously an advancement to the 30d, 40d, and 50d. :r
i'll need a computer too. My netbook sucks for anything but web surfing.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

:fu :tg

ouch, yeah photo editing on a netbook is.... *grimace*

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Yeh. :td
Money Money Money. The PC is last on my list though.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

if you're willing to get a desktop, you can build something powerful enough for short enough money...

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

The guy that works here told me that as long as i had at least 4gb ram, dual core processor of some type, and 750gb HD i'd be ok. He got a small acer from Walmart for $300 that he uses for his editing.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

DONT get 4gb. not enough. you need 8gb.
4gb chokes and crashes photoshop if you have a large enough file and its got a crap ton of layers. been there, done that. and the 18mp files from the 60D would do it.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

:sh
He's does photography as a side job and uses the 60D and his PC has those specs. Think 4gb would be ok for now if it has space for 8gb? I really don't want Win 8

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

What does Windows 8 have to do with it (and yeah, I don't want that sh!t either). Even windows 7 home basic x64 will allow up to 8gb of RAM. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...mits_windows_7

And yeah, 4gb is enough for now, long as you have space for 8gb.

My guess is that he's never created a really layer intensive file, or tried to open 5+ images at once. You can't imagine the frustration when you work on a file for 20 minutes, got a bunch of layers, and then try to save it and photoshop says that it doesn't have enough memory to save the file. :bh

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

:r
I dunno. Win 8 has to deal with i'm limited in my choices by the operating system installed on it too. Alot more choices with win 8 than win 7 right now

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

err yeah... or just build one yourself ;) :tg

There also are a number of system builders that offer models without an operating system preinstalled.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

yeh but then i gotta pay for an OS. I'm on a very small budget son!

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

true dat..


derp... just checked my old AR lower that I'm selling (the one I picked up early December)... hammer spring is backwards. Never noticed it before, didn't take that bit apart to clean before...

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

now that I suddenly ended up with a complete RED X upper I wasn't expecting to ever show up, I'm thinking I may mate it with that lower and wander down to the gun show Saturday, see if someone wants to give me $1200 for it......

It's this upper, looks pretty nice in person. THICK Bull barrel makes it a little front heavy, but honestly not that bad, especially considering that there was no optic on it to help balance the weight rearward. I'd keep it, but a heavy 16" that s only a carbine gas is not quite my cup of tea. Prefer middy gas in a 16", and a threaded barrel.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Heck, try for more than $1200. Thats what I got for mine plus about $200 worth of shotgun shells too.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

might be your area... I was having no luck a few weeks ago trying to get $1500 for a 20" tricked out AR, complete with scope, bipod, etc. Granted it was a cheap scope, rail, etc... but still, it looked the part, which is usually enough to hook a sucker or two at a show.

This one... I might have to put my sightmark red dot tub on it in order to "complete the look".

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Think I'm going to the local shop to see how their AR stock is (they had 7-10 two weeks ago). If their stock is low, I may put my gun up for consignment and see if I can get 1600-1700 for it.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

And poof im poor! Got the 60d kit w/ 18-135mm lens and got a 16gb sdhc card

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Never heard of that kind of gun :sh

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

:sl stfu we were talking about it last night. Gun related cuz I sold a gun to fund it

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Here's a quick pic of the extra children I think I'll try selling tomorrow at the show.

TOP:
Red-X upper, 16" carbine, 5.56, twist fluted stainless bull barrel, 1/9 (new)
Red-X Auto BCG & Tactical charging handle (new)
CMT TAC billet lower, Firefly/Serenity engraved (new)
Umbrella Corp grip (new)
Core-5 LPK, commercial buffer
VLTOR light carbine stock w/ battery compartments (used)
7.3lbs
--Might swap out the umbrella grip for a stock grip. I like the angled look a little better... but figure the umbrella name might carry some weight for a purchaser. Particularly paired with the Serenity lower...

BOTTOM:
PSA M4 Premium Madness, 16'' CMV CL, 5.56, carbine gas, 1/7 (new)
AR-15 BCG and standard charging handle (lightly used)
Doublestar lower, unknown LPK, commercial buffer (lightly used)
standard grip (new)
Core-5 standard carbine stock, fits a little loose (new)
6.3lbs
--Might throw a lightly used carry handle on the PSA upper to give it a full sight picture... and I don't need the handle anyway.
