hmm. What's the recommended settings for your monitor? Mine is 1125x854 and I can see quite small fonts when sitting more than a meter (4 ft) away. I am not really satisfied with my monitor and actually thinking about to buy a better one probably like the one I had awhile ago, a 22 inch widescreen. From what I have learned LCD monitors shows the highest quality images when using the recommended settings so maybe you should consider to get a larger monitor I know Futureshop and BestBuy do have some insane sales from time to time lol



oh! lol well I do have a lot of those custom functions activated like the high ISO noise reduction and ISO boost so I can use ISO 3200 in some extreme cases even though I am glad that so far I haven't had the need to do that course I know the noise would be severe lol. AND I do not buy cheap crappy memory cards for my camera I still have the two Sandisk Extreme III I used with my first EOS 40D and they are probably the best cards for my current camera.

hey a fellow xtreme 3 user!

they are immense cards but they've brought out some extreme IV CFs now

This definirely is not clear. lol

Recommended settings for me are 1280 x 1024 and that's the max it can go

I know about Extreme IV but the higher speed offered by those won't do any good on my camera because it's not built to support the higher speed. I think the newer EOS 50D and Nikon D300 do though

yeah but u wont even need those cards the III are insane

i think they are mainly for the 15fps cameras and the HD video ones

hmm It does look a lil bit less sharp lol but I know that picture is a lil bit out of focus or something to the left but in middle it's quite sharp at least for a picture taken at 1/5 second handheld
Are you using a 19 inch monitor? lol mine is a crappy 17 inch LCD that's why I want to get a bigger one, preferably 22inch ok I definitely need a better job lol. So what settings are you using now?



EDIT: lol I also see that your monitor has enlarged my picture which is probably the main reason why it got blurry/blurrier lol

Ya, it enlarges the picture. I think I know why. Press Ctrl + scroll up or down.

HEY! lol I am so amused lol I didn't know that
You are such a nerd who seem to know so much about browsers and internet stuff in general lol JK!!!

Thanks!

HAha - I figured that one out on my own. Accidentally did it one day and I was like "wtf why is everything small???"

And then I get this tiny shit font when I put it so it looks actually decent (photo wise).

Settings are at 1280 x 960.

haha I guess that's one of the advantages of being hyper lol JK. It's a very useful thing to know course sometimes i do have problem reading some of the reviews and articles especially when I am tired and seeing double .

About my photo again lol I guess I will really need a tripod to take some absolutely sharp pictures especially if I get an ultra wide lens like yours which doesn't have image stabilizer.
