I've had many headphones over the years beforehand but these IMO are the best bang for the buck, and can take a beating as well.

Well this is the camera I was reffering to; http://canon.com.au/en-AU/For-You/Digital-Cameras/EOS-Digital-SLR-Cameras/550D But seeing you're saying 250, well maybe I overshot the mark There is some great point and shoots out there, and personally if I were to get one, it would have to be Canon IXUS. They're easy to use, take a half decent photo under good light and do have a 720 HD function (well most of them), here is a link to their range; http://canon.com.au/en-AU/For-You/Digital-Cameras/IXUS-Digital-Cameras Otherwise next in line I would reccomend is the Nikon Coolpix range; http://www.nikon.com.au/products.php?categoryid=10 And when you go to buy the camera, don't go to a Kmart or Best Buy, go to a real camera shop cos they employ real camera people, and not a kid who thinks their mobile phone camera kicks ass. Oh and regarding the SD card issue, well I can tell you now 95% of consumer cameras use sd cards! Only Prosumer / Professional cameras use Compact flash, any other format is a gimmick. But if you are saying that you have a Mac, how are currently transferring photos and video to your computer? If it isn't working it maybe a formatting issue

Really depends on your budget, I actually have a Canon EOS 7D, which is actually a DSLR with HD capabilities, but for you that would likely be overkill. The Canon 550D is a consumer version of my camera and does the same thing, just a bit more simplified and only uses SD cards, but ALOT cheaper. Here is a sample of what these cameras can do in terms of video... Of course that is DSLRs, there are many other cameras out there that can do a good job, but the Canon's IMO are the best bang for buck. The Camcorder range is top notch too, but if I weren't going for a Canon DSLR, my next best bet is the Sony Camcorders, they are a little bit pricey, but they're built to last. Just avoid anything Samsung, or anything that is to good to be true (in terms of price). Feel free to pick my brains on these cameras as I'm filmmaker on the side

Cheers guys, its great to see some people care, I'm just trying to nut out now what could be causing this issue. So what I've done is (going against my warranty!) taken the amp out from underneath the window and simply placed it on the floor, I then have poured a cup of water in the windowsill directly above where it was, and there is water dripping in next to it, NOT directly on it, but damn close. But the water is then falling onto the wheelarch and going down to the bottom behind my taillight, where I found a lovely 3 inch deep well of water So I think it is safe to say that the amp probably needs to be moved. I'm just trying to figure out what to do exactly because IF I pulled the whole system out myself and moved it I am technically voiding warranty, and same story if I got a PRO from somewhere else to do it. (Oh its a one year warranty and this is the 5th month) But you should see these installers, the first time I met them was when I picked up my keys from them they smell, are very fat, and downright ugly It just seems funny that stereotypical installers do exist and that their jobs are as good what they look like... SHIT I've learnt my lesson and I'm looking forward to getting this job done properly, even if it costs me more....

Hey there everyone, This is my first post on this forum, and feel free to take this topic down moderators if you feel this doesn't fit or abide by the rules but I need to vent some steam and warn others... Alright... I work in Film & TV as a Media technician so I do have a general understanding of how generic stereos go together and how they work. At the start of this year I decided to get my '96 Landcruiser fitted with 2x Alpine SPS400s, 2x Alpine SPS600s, 1x 12" MB Quart Sub 300w and a JL AMP G4500 500w. I purchased these parts through JB Hi-Fi and they also installed the system for $180 AUD. Now I wanting to warn other consumers NOT TO GET JB TO INSTALL THE SYSTEM. I felt kinda bad getting these guys to install it for me, seeing they are a RETAIL OUTLET and proper car audio places were charging $300. Well, the cheapness REALLY shows and so does the reliability. 1. To begin with, the amp has been positioned behind the back panel UNDERNEATH A WINDOW in a car 14 years old, real smart, 2. This panel won't go back on properly because the lug nuts have been bent from them trying to bash it back on, so they decided to SCREW THE PANEL BACK IN 3. The panels in the passenger doors are leaking water on rainy days at the bottom, plus the left door panel is badly bent and the speaker won't go in straight 4. The Cutting of the chassis (to make room for the larger speakers, and amp placement) hasn't been shaved off, leaving a jagged edge. 5. The earth for the amplifier is on a PAINTED surface! 6. Bolts are missing from my car interior steps But now here I get to the main ISSUE, here in Australia ATM it is winter and we are seeing some heavy rain letely, and as I previously mentioned the amp is placed underneath a window, and the 6's are being subjected to heavy amounts of rain, and as you could probably assume, the amp fried itself about a month ago, now last week I just got a replacement amp back from JL seeing JB won't replace the unit, and JB happily put it back in last week, well I just got home from rainy day at work, I am hearing some nasty ass crackles coming from the sub even before ANY sound is coming from the headunit (takes about 20 seconds for th USB to read). And I have had situations on other days where the 6's were crackling as well So this is where I'm standing now, with a system that isn't working and a car that has lost quite a few dollars in value due to the SHITTIEST job I have ever seen . I agree I should have given the manager a mouthful, but I'm not like that, and I suspected that I would have an issue or two with my system anyways, but nothing of this nature. I want a good stereo and now I see why Car audio places charge such a rate. So I am thinking of going back there, asking for a refund on my install and having a pro look at this, even if it costs me extra, otherwise I'm going POSTAL What do you guys think? (I'll put up some photos sometime soon...) (Oh and one last thing, when I mentioned to the floor salesman that I tuned the amp to my preferred settings (It HAD TOO MUCH BASS to begin with) he said that I would be voiding warranty) How F#@$ed is that?
