time to buy a new camera bro i love your setup. MBA 11" + thunderbolt display, i could really really use that haha

curious, why use an LCD TV instead of a monitor with more resolution?

hehe, the camera on the BB sucks, it disappoints me greatly. I actually spend quite a bit of time doing photography, so I suppose it's not that I need a new camera, just need to take it with me instead of relying on my phone.

unrelated, but here's my camera setup:



It's a Nikon D2X with a Nikon 70-200 2.8 and SB900 Flash connected to an external battery pack. That setup actually is impractical, as you would never use a flash on such a long lens unless you had some type of magnifier like a fresnel. Anyways, it's pretty impractical to lug that around.

I actually plug my MBA into a 27" Samsung LED that serves as a dedicated monitor for the MBA. The thunderbolt display is exclusively used for the iMac.
Also, the laptop power cord off of the external thunderbolt display is not compatible with my MBA. How retarded is that?

The new iMac looks pretty sweet, so I suppose I should get a good look at that soon. I'm sure some of you Apple lovers will be all over that eh?
I still think PC's with Windows are a more powerful and robust office tool when compared to Mac's, but the hardware on a Mac is stunning.

yeah the first thing i noticed was why are u using a flash with the 70-200 haha. kickass setup nonetheless!

not getting the magsafe2 adapter for ur MBA? maybe can just keep the MBA charger in a bag

its true that PCs are always better for work. engineering software on OSX performs like utter crap.

yeah, i just set it up to try and throw as much as I could on it, to see how crazy it would look. you can imagine how much that thing weighs - the ball head on the tripod kept loosening up causing the lens to drop downward.

hmm, never thought of getting an adapter...not a bad idea actually.

to be honest, i use the 27" thunderbolt as second screen for the imac, so i haven't had the need to connect it up to the mba.

I'm still a bit of a noob when it comes to Mac OSX. I really like the multi-touch on the trackpad though, it absolutely rocks. But as far as the file system management - Windows is still better.

But the hardware on these Mac's is just too amazing to pass up.

nice setup bro, particularly the chair, how much and where do you bought it?

450rm
bought at somewhere puchong

regarding file system management, the idea behind OS X is try to rule out user to deal with them
so very different idea behind both OS

we can see Windows 8 has more toward that as well

guys, MBA 11" with DELL U2412M on 1900x1200 resolution, what do you think? Will the resolution run out by stretching? Plan to connect using DVI adapter since DVI is running in digital mode? Correct me if I am wrong .. Really need sifus to enlighten me. Thanks

It should work without any issues

hi, what is so special about this "webcam"? isn't it only 640x480 resolution?

the one and only original apple external webcam. the aluminium body like the rest of apple product.. the design & build just antique..
check out how the len close.. auto focus.. & very smooth to mountain lion facetime & Skype..

im using hengedock.. this external camera is so cool for my mac setup..
if you can ever find one these days..

yes the resolution is low, for a web cam i think its good enough. im using a software called iglasses for additional picture setting..

i see. thanks for the explanation.

wow haha where did u get it? not easy to find this

after a long search in Malaysia online search/store/forum.. i gave up and bought through ebay in US.

the design itself is

if somehow it became obsolete, can easily mod with aftermarket webcam and use its housing..

ive thought of that before, coz the casing seems simple to tear apart.. but then i cancel my plan.
i also do some research on macbook isight component part but failed.. component too small.. chips... i dont understand..
theres another camera claim rivalry to the isight.. dont remember the name, its from australia i think..
but still got some issues & no autofocus..

the only problem I'm facing with the isight is the new mac computer dont have firewire 400..
after i got the 400 to 800 converter, i have to mod it to be use with my hengedock..

seriously, this tripod upset the gears you have there.
