Just couldn't get into it. The SX50 had it and it felt easily breakable to me. Shrug.

Chris, if you're on the fence, here are some shots taken with a T3 this past weekend.

Edit: Not sure why that last one has such crappy quality after uploading. It looks clear on my tablet.

I watched that race, it was very good. Is that Marquez (sp?) or the other Repsol rider?


They look good Tracie. I would need to be able to figure out the settings to get shots like that...

What is that bottom one, the tower... what is that tower for?

Not sure which one it is to be honest. Race was hard to follow only viewing one turn.

The tower is an observation deck. Very nice up there.

Tracie, just a suggestion to get rid of the fence marks, if you can get really close to it and shoot with the widest aperture.

Wasn't possible since they were going so fast. My buddy took the high speed ones and had to track them halfway down our viewing area just to get a clear shot. All of mine are way worse than his.

Currently, there is legislation being proposed that allows vendors to charge tax on any online sales. This will screw over small businesses and individual consumers alike. In addition, individuals will be subject to auditors from out of state Ridiculous: the kind of $hit that goes on in Congress

Yeah it's called Use Tax and most states already enforce it. Basically on the state tax return they ask you to provide the amount you have purchased out of state and then how much tax you paid on that amount (if 0 tax paid, you will owe to the state)

While still not yet tracked too much, if the state govt wants to audit amazon, and other online vendors, they will see who the sales were made to and then ask if taxes were paid, if they were not, the State can hold you liable for taxes+interest for late taxes+ penalty for not showing it on the tax return.

In Illinois the use tax went into effect 2011, but most professionals think it will not be enforced until 2015.

Not for Amazon.com though. That was one of the stipulations (sp?) of luring Amazon back in. They didn't have to pay back what was due before, but would have to start charging tax from whatever point on.
