Comment on Canon EOS 1D Mark II versus Canon EOS Rebel 400D/XTi by Rex

I own both of these cameras: I came across this page looking for jpeg info/comparison/settings between these two. I bought the 400d as my first dslr, got the 1dmkii used when the 400d broke and “needed” another camera before it got fixed.

Although the 1d is a better made camera, the actual photos produced are similar (I shoot jpeg, and don’t post process – I use my slr as highly controllable point-n-shoot). The screen on the 400d is much better than 1dmkii, but viewfinder is much worse, after getting used to 1d.

My question: what jpeg settings are recommended on 1d to get awesome photos with no PP? My 1d images seem noisier/darker where 400d seems smooth (although prob less detail) and bright.

I know Canon aim 400d at making happy snaps that look good out of camera, where 1d is designed to have PP applied, but I’m using the 1d as a better 400d – can these two conflicting desires be resolved.

Comment on The Dark Knight Was Good, Batman Begins Was Better by DarkDefiance

I completely agree. I was really pissed off with The Dark Knight’s ending. With Batman Begins it all built up with to a climax and a great fight scene towards the end when Batman has to stop the train and Ra’s al Ghul.

In The Dark Knight I expected something similar. The Joker wants Gotham in anarchy – so why not put together a brilliant plan which involves something OTHER than blowing up things and have Batman work against time to stop it?

I was also dissapointed with the way Two-Face was handled. Even in Batman Forever he had some character to him. In TDK he felt empty.

In general Batman Begins > The Dark Knight.

Thanks for the link love. To be honest with you, I have to admit that if I were to review this cigar again I would probably give it lower grades, because I have tasted so many great smokes since then, and some of those were much more affordable.

Comment on How To Embed Videos Into WordPress Without Plugins by Richard Bui

If you don’t have a post or page set as the homepage, then things should be fine as in step 2, you’re opening your index.php file and making the edits there. But yes, you’ll probably have to add DIVs and style it to make it sure it wraps correctly. Don’t forget to add display: block to that DIV so that the video is always on it’s own line.

Let me know if you need further help!

Thanks BTW!

Dear Richard,

I seem to have the same problem as above. I’ve been very cheeky and have emailed my functions.php file to you as well, hoping you would have some time to see if I’ve placed it ok and what could be causing me to see:

Thanks,
