I've started to get into photography myself. Bought a Canon 550D, which is the top end of the consumer range for Canon. After that it's pro and that starts really getting expensive. Basically similar internals for the 550D and it's bigger brothers although the pros have a stronger body and slightly bigger sensor. Obviously the 1D is far better again.

I bought it to do movies. The TV crews shoot production quality TV ads on 7D's these days. But the problem I found is the size of the files. They are HUGE. A 10 minute recording is bigger than a 2 hr DVD (about 4 GB), and as such it takes a painfully long time to load into Microsoft Movie Maker before you can even start the edit process. Anyone know how to speed up the process?? Is there a better free (or cheap) movie editing program?

Good idea:

Let mine sit in the long term car park at Tullamarine Airport for the last 10 days whilst I have been in New Zealand

It's OK though - we'll be reunited tomorrow night!

I removed my rear left window regulator, now waiting for the new Ally blocks to replace the plastic one that broke, and the others that haven't broke just yet.

Every Sunday I lift the bonnet and make sure it's all there with no surprises, still there thankfully, then go full bore up Toowoomba range to go shopping, nothing better than cruising past less capable vehicles.
Then get home and dream about what I would like to add to it, so I'm ready when the Lotto cheque turns up.

Well not today exactly, but over the weekend, replaced my old crazed headlights with lovely crystal clear new(secondhand) ones.

I also replaced the parking lights with some really cool LED lights, they & the new headlights are just so much better at night.

First Service - 1 month one, not the first real one

Installed front recovery point - I reckon I'll be waiting a while for the ARB front bar.

Updated the software of my headunit - kept switching back to radio randomly from the ipod

Captured my engine map for the "sand issue = fail" - gets sent back to chrysler for a module update. Haven't had it in the sand yet, but heading to Straddie for easter.

Couldn't fault my problem with a shudder from heavy accel from 100km/hr, but offered me to take a tech for a ride (not today though). I took it down the gateway on the way home and it's very repeatable so will take them up on this. I believe its a torque converter issue similar to the hemi one that's on the states forums. Can't handle the torque!

Overall very happy with Albion service, didn't get any blah, blah bullshit - I'll continue to take it there.

Where do I begin lol
new tyres maxxis bighorn 265/70r17
installed rhino roof bars
ironman steel roof basket
ironman 2x2.5 awning with optional tent
And finally a 2.5 inch exhaust

A few weeks ago did a 3" IRO lift, jks quick disconnects, UHF and a set of lightforce xgt spotties

Still on the cards is a dual battery setup in the now useless spare wheel well, front recovery point as I find the look of the wg quiet nice and a bullbar would spoil it and possibly a hid kit on the front headlights
