Quote from majod :

I don't need zoom - wide angles are better for me, good low-light performance (low noise, high ISO) and sharp, noise-free images. I'm fine with even 10Mpix, smaller displays, etc.

If you don't need zoom at all it might be worth looking into the fixed lens APS-C cameras such as the Ricoh GR, Nikon Coolpix A and Fuji X100S. These will give you better image quality than the RX100 but are wide(ish) angle only. The price you pay, of course... is the price - they're a bit more expensive than the RX100.

Aside from those, other options could be a Micro 4/3, Sony NEX or Samsung NX body with a prime lens - you could probably pick a combo like this up on eBay for around the same (maybe even less) price as the RX100 and it will give you better IQ at that single focal length, but it will be bigger than the APS-C compacts. Samsung NX1000 is a bargain on eBay at the moment.

Aside from these, nothing I can think of really touches the RX100 in terms of IQ for a compact camera. They're all expensive options, but along with the RX100 they really are much better than the other compacts you listed. Whether they're worth the extra £££ is up to you and your particular budget situation.

For comparison purposes, it's worth considering pre-accident and post-accident Massa two different drivers. ie, comparisons aren't really valid. Raikkonen's team mate in 07 and 08 was a better driver than Alonso's team mate. That said, I can't see Raikkonen beating Alonso.

Don't worry, Apple are releasing a new icon pack called iOS7 soon.

Steam Summer Sale has started! Good luck connecting to the store

Quote from Bose321 :

What icon pack is that?

Too bad your notification bar is looking like Android 2...

Yeah the notification bar looks a bit out of place, oh well

Quote from Intrepid :

No, it's a ****ing awesome way to go racing. No point having some pussy let's all drive in line and be besty mates and spoon each other post-race rubbish you get on sims nowadays.

You don't have to be a complete dick to overtake someone. It's perfectly possible to race fairly - see Sutil today.

I'm glad Kimi turned in on Perez. It ruined both their races but maybe it'll teach Perez that making kamikaze moves that rely on forcing other cars off the track to avoid a crash is a pretty shitty way to go racing.

Tea break

Quote from flymike91 :

I could argue that but I don't see what it has to do with Muslim radicalization in the West, which is what I'm trying to talk about with little success. The difference in culture between immigrants and westerners is a topic that can no longer be conveniently diverted or ignored. If no one else feels like what we have built is worth keeping then I'll stop because we've already lost.

*I've written enough in this thread to digest and respond to for a while. I don't want to respond to side comments.

Your "Great Society" is built upon the foundations laid by religious nutjob immigrants who refused to respect and integrate with the native inhabitants and instead sought to impose their own religion upon them. You are precisely that which you hate.

Some racist bullshit.

Dick Trickle? seriously?

It can be serious if left untreated. I once had it but thankfully it was just an infection.

Quote from Intrepid :

They are not changing the rules. It's perfectly within the rules for Pirelli to change tyre construction and compound.

Article 12.6.3 of F1's technical regulations:

"Tyre specifications will be determined by the FIA no later than 1 September of the previous season. Once determined in this way, the specification of the tyres will not be changed during the championship season without the agreement of all competing teams."

The technical regulations for each season are published well in advance and it's up to the teams to design a car that will go as fast as possible within those regulations. They all knew that the tyres would be getting even more marginal, Pirelli made that very clear. If some teams balls it up and build cars that are slow, that's their problem.

Pirelli have announced that they're going to revert to last year's tyre construction to make them more durable and I'd question how ethical (and legal, for that matter) it is to just suddenly change the regulations in the middle of the season because some teams have discovered that some other teams have done a better job designing their cars than they have

Now I agree that changing the tyres is necessary, but for next season, not now. Changing them now isn't much different from saying, "oh, McLaren and Mercedes have designed cars that lack downforce this season, let's ban front and rear wings for the rest of the season".

What is it btw, and is it real or manipulated pictures (of course I know the colors are manipulated and so on, but speaking of the actually fotage)?
Looks pretty real in terms of how the air would react from the forces of a plain (which I again have no knowlege about).
Scource(s) ?

Quote from amp88 :

And another...this time for a zombie (?) apocalypse film. I put the question mark in there about zombie because I'm not exactly sure if they really are zombies or perhaps something else similar. Anyway, I think it's probably an American film from around 2000-2010, it features the main characters running out of petrol/gas and having to walk some distance. They find some kind of holiday/vacation resort complex in the middle of a desert (?) and they survive there for a while, but I think they accidentally alert some of the zombies and have to move on. I also think a beach house might feature somehow.

Not a lot to go on, but hopefully it rings a bell for someone. Thanks for any help.

The Dead?

That is not saying I am for more gun control. Just thought this was relevant to the discussion.

Thank god he didn't have a Kinder Egg, there's no telling how many more he would have killed.
