Thanks : ) this thing is funny.. the body is so tiny but its a standard sized SLR lens. The build is fantastic.. so solid feeling as its all metal. Including the lens body.

Its not quite DSLR speed, although close when put in continuous. But overall the picture and video quality are suposed to be top notch. I may spring for the 200mm zoom lens but i hear its $800+

I am excited to try 1080p video and 3D of all things. But i hear something about only being able to watch it on a "sony" 3d tv, but im not sure about that.

Hahah nice man! yeah i want to get some ride footage on my R1.. Setting up a race vs a 650-700hp Audi S4

I broke my leg this year bad.. full break of tib fib and ankle. So im not sure when i can get back on my board. 20+ years on the mountain its a tough break thinking how long it may take to be able to ride well again. But it will be back!

Yup, you really need some video editing software to make the video quality look great. All that is needed is to increase saturation, sharpness, contrast, and decrease brightness a bit and it looks a lot better.

Good job, bx!

Wife came home so took the Z out for a quick spin.

ofcourse took my camera with me and took more practice shots. Silly me drove off with the black plate covers I made managing to go expressway speeds, went by 4 cop cars. No one pulled me over

so didn't know I had it on until I got home. Was QDing and ooops!

onzedge · 07-24-2011, 07:04 PM

Finally got the new SU's installed and she is running like a bat out of hell (as they say).

Here is the "before" shot:

My two sons (thanks, guys) and the "after" shot:

I may have made a mistake -- I let one of them borrow it for the night:

The 'During" shot:

mr.onzedge- looks good!

hope you get your car back soon. Hahahaha.

Today I took the Z to the Tail of the Dragon (Deal's Gap) for the first time. There was hardly anyone there when I was there around 1:00. I don't know what might be keeping the crowds away. Could be the heat, or people aren't taking road trips due to gas prices and the economy. It was nice though and cool (83) in the mountains.
