Wait until Black Friday and get a digital. (Unfortunately, being an old film guy, 35mm film is dead.) Unless you want to go with Medium format photography, I'd stick to digital.

The only real decision is a digital point and shoot or DSLR camera. That really depends on the type of photography you plan on doing. Vacation and the kids, P & S. Professional, then DSLR. You have more flexibility with lenses with a DSLR, but also weighs about 4 times that of a P & S. (And costs about 5 times as much, minimum!)

The biggest problem with an autofocus camera is that it doesn't know what you want to focus on. DSLR camera will give you more flexibility on this. (You can run them in manual mode.)

On digital P & S's it comes down to what company you like best. Kodak, Cannon, Olympus, Nikon, etc. See what Comsumer Reports says about them.

Sorry, you asked for Zod, never mind.

Like a certain caped comic-book superhero, the ridiculously rugged Optio WG-1 Kit Digital Camera can take whatever punishment you're in the mood to dish out. Waterproof to 33 feet (so you can shoot underwater), shockproof from up to a 5-foot drop, crush-proof to withstand up to 100KG of force, cold-proof to 14F, and dust-proof, this is one point-and-shoot you're going to have to work hard to destroy. Also tough to beat: advanced features in this high-res 14-megapixel camera that allow you to capture anything from detailed Super Macro shots to HD movies.

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By Navy_football · Posted

      It's been mentioned in this thread, yet many are glossing over it... This WR group has a ton of potential. TMAC, XL and Coker, and maybe even Horn as the speed guy will get a ton of snaps in this offense. The reality is that they are all really unproven. Hopefully they're ascending, but we don't know if XL and Coker are maxed out based on last season. TMAC and Horn are ROOKIES. So the only "proven vets" are Thielen, Moore and Renfrow. Not exactly top of the league. Biggest issue being a lack of speed to take the top off of defenses. Say what you want about Tedd Ginn but he was probably the most important receiver on the team in 2015.

      That would basically make him a top 10 quarterback based on last year's stats if you break down each QB metric, complied and ranked them. I get the premise of the question--why should we get rid of Bryce after the season if the team still sucks, but it's not Bryce's fault?  Fair enough. If Bryce balls out and for whatever reason we still can't get over the hump, he shouldn't catch all the grief for it.  However, I will caveat that while stats can add layers of paint to a canvass, they do not always paint the whole picture.  So while those hypothetical stats are pretty darn good, if we are inept in the red zone settling for FGs or he's coughing up the ball on sacks or completing layup passes that doesn't get us first downs, then statistically he can have a really good season, but it could leave us on the short end of the scoreboard some games.

      I’m expecting a breakout season from Ja'tavion Sanders

      By Car123 · Posted

      Not many are talking about this player. He played well as a rookie last year. If he refines his blocking, continues studying film, and keeps working hard, I can see him being the next Greg Olsen. I’m expecting 55 catches, 700 yards, 4 TDs this season.
