Howie,

Just tell her its too heavy and way to complicated and its really difficult to use. I got one the same on Max's advice and all I can say is holy crow, I have pics with that machine that are just not possible to get with anything less.

3DUBYA,

If you look hard at that shot of team Kiwi firing up the plank it looks like Bogans gone all religy and is saying some kinda prayer before launching it mate.

I'm pretty strong I don't think I'll have any problems holding the camera and I'm sure I'll be right with working out how to use it. It took a lot of nagging to get that camera Ian wanted a D50 not the D200 but persistant nagging pays off!! But I'm sure I'll let Ian borrow it again occassionally.

You notice that most of these guys are back to using two blade props? At the Masters, 3-blades were all but required to meet the 94db's. With the sound not being as strict, I guess they opt for the performance.
