the best thing you can do is read reviews (for example www.dpreview.com or better - video reviews at http://www.cameralabs.com/ )
if you are newbie in this area, lens reviews would be useless for you imho, but you could write what kind of lens would you like to have for the beginning.
asking for camera tip at forum - you'll meet many different opinions.
1200USD seems to be ~810€ so I'll go for canon 450D with two kit lenses or 500D (in US they have some silly namings XT STI or something) and some nice lens - it is small, light and excellent camera, just check those review sites...
yes, for LAN game lfs supports only 10, 192 and 172 networks
if you really want to override this (let's think you have not cracked your lfs), you need to use some REAL vpn software like openvpn which is very nice
been in mountains again yesterday...weather changed rapidly during the day, in the morning it was freezing, but around 11am high in mountains i was only in t-shirt walking on a snow!
Z19_2 doesn't work for me neither...
my lfs starts in window mode, after shift+f4 black screen and everything flicker again...
but!!! when I press shift+f12 -> wrong...
shift+F9-F11 - ITS OK! and then when I press shift+F12 its working...
and its working when I press shift+f4 to window and switch back to fullscreen
run LFS, noticed the strange GUI bug, presse shift+S (to window mode), GUI was OK.
closed LFS, run LFS again in window mode...then pressed shift+S to fullscreen mode - bang...black screen, lfs minimizes and everyting is wrong.
windows 7 32bit + ati 4870
it happens alwys, either in menu or during gameplay, only in window mode lfs is running OK
but for me yes, since patch Z19, after i switched to window mode and then closed lfs...
everytime i run it it starts in window mode, but when i want to switch back to full screen, only black screen and then all applications flicker...including cursor, start button (or whatever its called in 7)
i have a strange problem with mouse position in lfs window...
for example in offline game, after track select, in bottom right when i click to change weather - it changes lap count!! clicking on lap count doesnt work..
when i want to click on "garage" - i have to click a few pixels under the button....
pointing the cursor to the bottom of screen, cursor changes to "resize cursor"
switching to window mode solves the problem (shift f4)
