camera nerds or photographers?

I would have thought the two over lap some what

here goes anyway ....

Lokking at getting a GoPro or similar type camera.

I have nailed down 4 options so far :


1. Qumox SJ4000

http://www.tmart.com/SJ4000-1.5-LCD-...r_p245155.html

Review
http://shortbarrelshepherd.com/sj400...camera-review/

can be used on all gopro attachments and has a screen. Battery only 900mAh, I think most are 1100 ????
Cost 65 plus I can get head, wrist, and stick attachments for 45 quid on adverts.ie so €110 all in

2. Easypix -Go Extreme Wifi Control FHD model with remote control

Also compatible with gopro parts

http://www.adverts.ie/motorbike-part...mment_34237687
Made for Easypix - Go Extreme Wifi Control FHD model with remote control
Can get an app for it too
Cost 90/100 (reckon I can get him down) plus I can get head, wrist, and stick attachments on adverts.ie for 45 quid so €135/145 all in

3. Might be able to get GoPro hero3 white edition picked up in the States in the next few days.
150 quid euro, all attachments 45 quid – no remote, but an app. So about €200 quid

4. http://www.adverts.ie/video-cameras/...go-pro/5224587 has a remote and screen. Cost all in €120


Was really looking to keep cost down but is GoPro a far superior product and worth breaking my budget for ?

I realise you may only have knowledge of traditional style cameras, so no worries if you arent in the know with this sort of camera.

Cheers

Have used the GoPro and it really is the only choice if you want quality. Understand budget may be a concern but you really do get what you pay for.

Wouldnt really have an opinion on the others but recommend if you can, get the Go Pro.

cheers. for the sake of the 80/90 quid it probably makes sense to get the quality piece of kit

Lads, haven't bought FIFA in years. What's the difference between ultimate team and standard versions?

Pretty sure but could be wrong that the only difference is getting coins and players to use in the ultimate team mode. Stuff you can just buy if you want it. Doesn't affect gameplay at all.

Thats exactly it. I never play with that part of the game at all

Yeah I'm the same.

Im the opposite Ultimate team is brilliant, one of the better things in FIFA in recent years.

[Mrtankthreat]

I avoid ultimate team too. Too much fiddling about with the team. I just want to play. Online seasons all the way.

[HofnerGaz]

Agree with both of yas. Ultimate team is a brilliant feature. Like grown-up Panini stickers but I'm just not arsed with it. Rather just play online seasons.

Pat's fan I know looking to get in touch with Sam Birch who was involved with the club years ago. Does anyone know anything about him, or if he's still around?

Can anyone give me an expectation for how much a new toilet bowl and installiation would cost?

[Rathcoolesaint]

If it's similar in size to the one in Tallaght it'd be about €300,000, other than that I don't know.


€300,000 is not a quote btw (just in case)

Iv Iphone4s and haven't updated anything and in the last couple of months my battery hardly gets me from 10-6 even though I'd hardly use it, if I did use it I wouldn't make till 1! Pointless

[ChrisM]

Make sure your 3g, Wifi, Bluetooth and some cases the 3g sharing are off when your not using them, Its the little things that you forget about that are draining the (shite) battery further...

Iphones are shit for the money they cost. People are paying for the apple logo

i hated apple for so long. some how over the last year or two i have ended up having an ipod, iphone, ipad. Bastards !!!!!

what do you use and why do you think its better ?

[Dodge]

They're not shit. iPhones, Samsung Galaxy and all the top of the range from other companies are all magic

It comes down to personal preference and bias for some but they're all absolutely unreal

[kdjac]

Problem I have with them is they trying to be smart but not very good at the phone part.

Have had all of the 3s best phones (at the time) and the Nokia Lumia was only one that was actually decent at being a phone with calls and stuff.

Iphone has the most apps but is the worst at being a phone, sometimes it decides the incoming call shall not be answered.

Nexus Android(HTC X also) was the best for umm apps i didnt want to pay for had issues with being a phone. Great for nintendo emulators tho.

Lumia was the best phone with about 3 apps....total. really good at the phone part tho.

Averaged 30 calls a day on each. None of them could last a full day in work and then function at night, all died around 6pm if i got up with a full charge

[Slavia]

They're not shit.

They are. For what they cost (IMO)

i hated apple for so long. some how over the last year or two i have ended up having an ipod, iphone, ipad. Bastards !!!!!

what do you use and why do you think its better ?

Have used only Windows phones pretty much since they started. Using the Lumia 1320 now. Love it, perfect for my Kindle app due to 6" screen. Windows don't have as many apps as Apple or Android, but they have every app I use or need. Have had all the main platforms, Windows definitely my favourite by far

Does anyone here work for, or have a relative/acquaintance work for, Peugeot? I bought a 2nd hand 308 recently, but it didn't have any of the manuals. Don't mind paying for them, but free would be nice, thanks.

Thanks, I'd already tried that link earlier, and it didn't work, and now it does....wierd.
