I burn a lot..... so....
I don't trust hdds, period.It's a phone not a BEAST.
Nice.. I might add that for the past two years I haven't used a DVD drive
Those humongous pics were in last page, now someone quoted them here, nice, another few days I'll have hell opening this thread

That might be very soon, as soon as I join first thing to do is buy a DSLR(If I had opted for accenture I would have already bought the DSLR, they gave joining last week)
Yeah, also I like how fast the AF system is, its truly lightning fast, plus the macro mode is awesome, programmable AE mode allows taking of shots with blurred backgrounds, not as good as DSLR but better than rest, plus panorama is there, implementation is not as good as Sony's but I'd take the low noise pics anyday.
Mine has the thread, 52mm thread, I'm planning to buy a filter, just for protecting the lens.
Any place in kolkata where I can get filters, or just a guard?
PS: To those who are saying not to quote pics, quoting pics does not take extra bandwidth as the image is fetched once only, it just make the thread ugly and long.
Sorry for the delay in my response, as I have been out of touch with my PC for the last three days. For filters for your camera lens in Kolkata, try International Camera in the Moti Sil Street area near Dharamtolla. You may also try Harry's Camera near the Metro Cinema hall. If you can find one, also grab one low power (0.5 D or 1.0 D) close-up lens/attachment. This will give you the ability to focus much closer at the telephoto end of your camera, instead of a closest focus of say 8 ft at 500 mm (35 mm camera equivalent) down to as close as may be 1 ft at 500 mm! This is a much easier way of shooting close-ups of flowers or even bees, than shooting at 1 cm at the wide-angle end of the lens.
I am seeing more and more similarities in our interests and idiosyncrasies! I too write many DVDs, have more than one DVD Writers (1 LG and 1 Samsung) and have just purchased the same model of ASUS DVD Writer for the same price (from Vedant) to replace at least one of them (both are behaving erratically)! Isn't that a coincidence or what?

I don't know about tikin, but I earlier on I used to use mostly Verbatim Blank DVD+R, although for the last couple of years I have been using Sony DVD-R discs for the purpose. They seem to be equal in quality, so it is only a question of availability at any particular point of time and, of course, the price. By the way, some time back I saw someone from Pune reporting the good quality of National DL DVD-R's that are pretty inexpensive too. Does anyone know if they are available in Kolkata, and if so, where?
I don't know the difference between the ASUS DVD Writer models DRW-24B5ST & 24B3ST. I guess the best place to query would be the ASUS site.

Yeah I do that, some of them had gotten bad, but all of them will read on a 5yrs old LG writer my friend has, won't read on my brand new asusI used to have a large collection of written DVDs like that. but unfortunately most of them didn't work. check periodically or move to a external HDD. DVDs are not reliable

Yup, but not from MD, from vedant, their quotes are better for general hardware, I go to MD just for special stuffs only.
Guess so
When the samsung gives I'll try HP writer maybe.
I'll look for the filters, lenses won't work, cause it needs an adapter, which unfortunately is only available in USA.
Go for Asus, good service, but won't last beyond 1-1.5 yrs, mine went for 1.4yrs.^^ I got the answer & reason of my queary from you. Thanks for that.
I need to by another ODD. That's why I've posted at the first place.
Used to using Moserbaer, but they are all cr@p, used some local brands before like lasertras which are still working, but moserbaers are not reading good on my drives, switched to verbatim this year, so good so far.And u use mostly Verbatim Blank DVD+R ?

Differences are none, no practical difference in them, just some tech called e hammer or something, useless.

OK, I'll give HP a shot.
When I mentioned close-up lens, I was referring to an attachment/accessory that threads on to the front of the camera lens just like a regular filter in a threaded ring (looks much like one too). It is NOT like those with lens barrel and all. It doesn't need any adapter.

yea...got it too costly...coz only primeabgb had it and no one else in the market....we were bargaining with him for almost an hour...but he didn't budge...also coz for the earlier components we had bargained a lot and this time we were at the weaker spot
. Also I had been waiting for it for almost 3 weeks now...so had to get it Are you talking about 2500k or 2600k? I think 13-14k was the price of i7 2600k during the golden days when I got my i5 2500 for 9.5k
@SIDDHARTH.BEAM Good purchase eBro.
