A neighbor had their whole family in for Thanksgiving and wanted me to take their photos, different sets of people, etc. I told her I don't do people, but they insisted.

After some pp, I think the photos came out pretty good and so do they. I then had some 4x6 photos printed at CVS and had them pick out what they wanted.

Well, they do not want the glossy finish. So I went to MPIX which I've seen mentioned here a number of times. I had a chat session and wanted to find out about their finish. This is what they said, '...we have the standard semi gloss that would have a sheen but it is not glossy, or we have a deep matte giclee that would have no sheen at all..."

In your opinion, will MPIX's standard finish (semi gloss) be what my neighbor wants?

As an aside, the one photo of the whole family (of course that one) I screwed up and didn't leave enough space on the sides for an 8x10 that they want, but I can do an 8x12.

Thanks for all of your good humored posts! You will be missed.

I drink Guinness. I don't understand why this is needed. The 4-pack 14.9 oz cans comes with a nitrogen widget that does the same thing. BTW, it is a beautiful pour and makes a great photo.

I never heard of this--are you being serious or is this said sarcastically?

It eats its relatives? Double Wow!

Thanks Billnikon and Coolhand!

Thank you Jerry, Shellback and 13. Can someone explain the following to me? This was part of a description of one that I was looking at, the 'izeeker'.
'The Loop Recording function automatically overwrites past unlocked videos to free up more space for new videos. The 32GB MicroSD card can usually record for a week. If the video is not needed after the card is full, just delete or format it manually to re-record.'
Either it overwrites or I have to format card. This seems contradictory.

Looking for a recommendation on a dash cam. Nothing fancy, don't need all the bells and whistles. Want to be able to review video if something happens while driving.
Thank you.

Keep us posted on how the insurance works with your cc. I always buy travel insurance, had to use it a couple of times and never had a problem. Interested to see how the cc handles it.

What? Don't they know who you are?

PM sent.

I have a Canon SX50 that I bought for my wife awhile ago that is not being used. If you're interested in an older bridge camera that takes great pictures for a very reasonable price, check out the stats let me know.

Q, unless I need something more than what's offered in Q.
