  1. So, if I did get the xt-10, you think I'd do fine just with the kit lens for a while? It seems like the best out of the 3 I have there.
  2. Thank you for the helpful advice. I know the limitations of the x100t, but not so much the xt10. The Fuji x lenses are outrageously expensive so that is good to keep in mind. I would like to have something compact that I can carry with me EVERYWHERE, and I don't think I can do that with a dslr realistically. Any personal recommendations? Next time I'm at a best buy, I will get a feel for some cameras. Tell me if I'm wrong, but the composition and skill is much more important than the gear you are using. Correct?
  3. I've been taking photos and editing them on my phone for a couple years now, and I kind of want to get a legit camera. I do mostly landscape and street photography, focusing on bigger things rather than small (get your minds out of the gutter :P). I started out posting pictures I took on my *cough cough* Instagram *cough cough* using an iPhone 4s which was pretty good for its time. Since then, I've gotten an HTC one M8, which has disappointed me to say the least in the camera department. Despite this, I've actually taken/made some pretty awesome photos with it. Anyways, what brings me to this part of the forum is that I recently gained interest in buying a real camera (I know that's kind of ridiculous for Instagram, but hear me out). I understand the very basics of composing a shot, and I understand how ISO, aperture, shutter, etc... work. I have used some Nikon DSLR's quite a bit so I'm not entirely new to the market, but... I don't know my shit when it comes to the technology of digital cameras. I'm getting a new phone soon which I will make sure has a good camera, but I'd like to get a proper DSLR or mirrrorless for taking better photos and editing them in light room. Anyways, my budget is up to $1200, however it doesn't need to be the upper limit of what a camera has to offer (and I know that doesn't exist in that price point). I've been considering either a: Fuji X100t (the one brandon uses for most stills) Fuji Xt10 (basically a cheaper version of the xt1, with less features but same sensor) Canon t6s or t6i (I don't know what lens I would get though) Please give me your guys' suggestions on what I should be look for/at
  4. I would say 8/10. The composition is amazing and the photo has an awesome space vibe. The sky is amazing, but I have to criticize the bright light next to the person on the sand. I would have used the light to create a silhouette of the subject, but that's just me... The underexposed rocks really make this image. Without them, it would have been generic and I'd have given it a 5 or 6 Here is my submission: (taken on an HTC One M8, edited on my iPhone 6 in Mextures and Snapseed)
  5. np. it's kind of a weird request in the first place
  6. Don't remeber... They had a weird rig where they used a 4460 or some cheap i5 and a titan x w a 1080p monitor
  7. I remember talking to a fellow forum member who said he had gotten his titan X from the CEO of Nvidia himself. I was wondering if anyone remembered who it was; I remember him mentioning it in his signature and i had a question for him.
  8. seems boring. I'd get fallout 4 cuz it provides a lot of bang/buck
  9. okay. Get the 390, not the 390x. It's literally exactly the same but for less money
  10. oh... okay. I'd get a lesser CPU and a 980ti which has the VR feature that EVGA has
  11. just get the dust out. In linus' practice, reapplyign thermal paste to GPU's isnt really worth it.
  12. I think it will be ample, but try the steam VR test. It's free
  13. monoprice comes to mind
  14. If I were you I would go for the Surface, because of the wider range of software you can use. On the iPad you are very much limited to simple programs whereas you have the potential on the surface to use far more capable programs like Illustrator, Inkscape, etc... I haven't used the Apple pencil, but using the pen on my boss' surface book feels pretty precise and natural.
  15. okay, that appears to have cherry MX switches. I'd reccomend the logitech g610 if you want a minimalist look.
  16. Looking at them now on Newegg, some of them are labeled as "100% Mechanical keyswitches" which is usually a red flag that the keyboard uses Kailh or some other knockoff switch. The Rosewill keyboards that have Cherry MX Keyswitches (the quality and reliable ones) usually go for around $100, at which price you could get a Corsair strafe and get better lighting, features, durability, warranty, etc...
  17. On the topic of sound, there is almost no scenario in which you'd get a soundcard over an external AMP.
  18. The answer to all but soundcard is sometimes. You need to elaborate more.
  19. Ha lol you are the 2nd person whos ever done that
  20. My friend has the m50x and yes they are waaaaaay overhyped. I don't get it.
