Maybe the mob paid him to lose.

Hi jccash. I beg to disagree but not necessarily.

Here's why:

1. James and the lady (I think her name is Emma Boettcher), both got the correct answer for the Final Jeopardy Question.

2. Prior to the Final Jeopardy Question, James winning was $23,400 while Emma's was $26,600.

Based on the above scenario, the only way James would have won is:

He bets all his winning and she bets an amount that is at least $1 less his total bet.

Here's the math for James to win:

1. He bets $23,400 (all) and therefore wins = $46,800
2. She bets $23,399 of her winnings ($26,600) = $46,798 (she loses)

(If she bets $23,400, it would end up as tie. They both come back for next day. if she bets $23,401, she wins by $1 and becomes the new champ and gets to come back the following day.)

Here's the math for how it actually ended:

1. He bet $1,399 of his winning ($23,400) = $24,799
2. She bet $20,201 of her winning ($26,600) = $46,801

Bottom line is, it all boils down to $1 in FINAL WINNING. $1 more and you win, $1 less and you lose.

Ya figured that out later.

I find it hard to believe James made such a small bet. If he had gone all the way he would have won unless my math is off.

Consider your budget and how fast do you need and how much processing load is it going to handle, Some of the suggestions you get here are far over what I'm successfully using (I5 and 12Gig Ram), YMMV, Bob.


I agree but the best you can afford but I’d try for 32 gig RAM and 1 or higher SSD drive and a great video graphic card.

These guys spec and build systems specifically for photo editing and video editing. Everyone has their own idea - not of what you should consider, but rather what fits THEIR criteria for budget, software, expectations, etc. but these guys build and benchmark lots of systems. At the very least, you'll have a good idea what to look for.

And just watch - the mac fans will try to lead you in their directions, with stuff like "I switched to mac 55 yrs ago and never looked back" or "I've never gotten a virus" or "the mac I bought 15 yrs ago is still working fine" and other drivel. It's just a matter of time before they come out of the woodwork . . .

LOL, you are almost inviting the Mac people to step up to the plate.

Greetings!!

I am a puertorican currently living in Miami. I work in the auto service industry as a service manager for Mercedes Benz. Looking for a hobby is how I got to this website. I took advantage of the Nikon D5600 combo at my local BJs and have been trying to learn how to improve my pictures.

I’m hoping to get lots of tips from this website!! Thank you for existing!!


Welcome from Orlando. Porsche guy here LOL.

Look forward to seeing some of your images.

I have just deleted four No Robo apps. because I'm still getting a dozen or so a day. Anyone having better success in blocking the ROBO's?


If you use AT&T they offer an app called Call Protect. They block calls at their server. You can also block calls. Amazing how many kick calls I get from my area cold.

Here's what I took on a safari (non hunting) to Tanzania: A Canon SL1 with a Tamron 18-400 lens (APSc) and it worked extremely well. I have also taken it to Israel and Jordan and a lot of places in between. The SL1 is light and counterbalances the 18-400 lens which was a bit on the heavy side. Look at the images below. I wouldn't buy a longer lens because of its bulk. If you shoot JPEG + RAW you'll have plenty of material to work with. The SL1 handles both formats.

I have since bought an SL2 from Canon, not because it is a whiz-bang better camera but because of its Wi-Fi capabilities which allowed me to transfer the photos I want to post on line while in the field. BH Photo Video is the place to go for best price and service. I've been dealing with them for almost 40 years.

Thanks JCCash- The Nikon 200-500mm is a particularly impressive lens. Great shot of the bird above!- v. sharp!
Do you not find it a burden weight wise etc,. when travelling around?? Do you use a tripod when travelling with it or do use it a lot hand held?


Your going on a safari so you will be sitting. I do both. Handheld and monopod.

I took a D500 and 200-500 Lens. I let my daughter use our Sony a600 with the 5-210 Lens. First image with 200-500 and second with the Sony a600.
