Here is few quick macro shots with reversed 50 1.8. Both shot handheld without additional light in greenhouse, uploaded straight from camera. 1/200 sec f5.6 ISO 200 1/125sec f8 ISO 400 Oh well, lets put one without reversing too. 50mm 1/2000sec f2.8 ISO 560 A little ad...

In Amarok (music manager), go to "settings" and "configure music manager". Then choose "engine" and on that tab, you see "output plugin", the setting is on autodetect by default if I remember right. Change it to "alsa". After that, "ALSA Device Configuration"-box shows up. There you find "mono"...

Yep they say its the same case, so I guess physically same size.

One eee user here too, works just fine, thou no chance of running photoshop, but thats what bigger machines are for.. Divx plays fine from SD-cards, snes works, I've also tried openarena, which worked great. It sounds pretty good with Pico too. Anyway, I use mine mainly for email, web and skype...

Thank you! That seem logical to me, but the noise on medium zoom at ISO 200 with indoors pictures made me wonder.. And milkpowder, D50/D70(s) have AF motor, and they are pretty cheap. D50 was just perfect camera, at least for me, to start photography as a hobby.

Any D300 users..? I got mine yesterday, great camera, at least compared to D50. Feels wonderful in my hands. I'm just having a little problem with custom setting f1, multi-selector in playback mode. Which one is 100% magnification, low or medium?

I have Pico with 160gb Classic and HD580, and it doesn't sound bad at all, although the Pico is maybe not the most powerful amp. But soundstage is pretty nice, I like it. What I remember, Minibox-E+ had more power to drive HD580, and Minibox gives them more bass. But I anyway liked Pico better...

I said earlier in Pico-thread that to my ears, Pico's bass had evolved, but my comments were knocked out quickly.. But now I'm happy that at least someone agrees with me.

Thanks jaska, I'll keep my eye on those turtles. Oklahoma is is great place, but Finland is still something you can't even dream if you don't know what you are missing...

lelek, what kind of source are you using? I find soundstage of my er4 increasing when I listen music from cd or lossless files, at least comparing to mp3.

What about used entry-level DSLR's? They almost fit your pricerange, even new Nikon D40 is 400$.. I promise you, its way better choice than buying a p&s. You can upgrade you lenses, and what I like the most in SLR's is the speed compared to p&s. When you push a button, everything happens...

Talking about ultrawides, what would be your recommendition for widest, cheapes and best quality one..? I'm thinking about Tokina 12-24mm, but I'm not quite sure yet. And I live in a place where is no photography stores near, so testing is quite hard..

I would say Blonde Redhead - 23. I used to listen it quite a bit. But now I found it again, just can't get enough of it, that album keeps me awake at nights..

First, yes, I have read that Pico shouldn't evaluate during burn in, but my ears tell different. I'm hearing difference in bass after 100-200 hours of intensive listening. It sounds fuller and little tighter, and it feels like there is little more bass. I'm not sure is that even possible, but...

My guess about fitting the pico is not that positive, its about as thick (with chassis but still..) as the eee pc screen closed. Anyway it would be great if it could be done.
