Actually any nation previously or presently under British rule drives on the left.

If most of the cameras will do what i want, what do you think is the cheapest one that will? I like to save as much money as possible

Thanks for that useful info, it helped. The Pentax K100D looks like a great camera. I'm going to look more into it.

I had started to look at the D40 but must admit, am confused with the auto-focus features. I should have been more specific in the first post. I'm looking for a camera that has BOTH auto and manual focus/shutter speeds. Does the D40 offer both options?

I am interested in picking up a digital camera and getting into photography. About a year ago I took a class in high school on film photography which used manual everything cameras. I'm interested in digital photography and specifically a camera that allows for manual adjustments of aperture and shutter speed. I've read about DSLR cameras and such but am not sure if i should start with one. Below are some examples of pictures that I am interested in taking. I would like to read some suggestions for cameras, accessories that will be needed, places to buy, what to avoid, what to look for etc. My budget allows no more than 400 USD.

thanks for all the info. My first plan was BC but for time reasons i started looking at Montreal. Maybe we can make BC work

PLAYAPIMP-Thanks we'll try =]
mrodgers-We are going late june-early july.

Anyone live there or suggest things to do?

I've always thought of Canada as a nice peaceful country and am planning a vacation there for the summer. We are planning to stay in Montreal. I'd like to hear from Canadians or people who have visited this area. Can anyone from there or who knows the area suggest sites to see, things to do, places to go etc in the Montreal area?

If it helps, I am going with three of my friends and we plan to take Amtrak there (from New York.) We plan to stay for 6-7 days. Any help is appreciated.

gg Mr. Kazakhstan

lol. Whatever he said made no sense anyway.

In an attempt to keep the topic from being deleted, I would like to hear from some Canadians. I've always thought of Canada as a nice peaceful country and am planning a vacation there for the summer. Can anyone from Canada give me ideas of a place to stay or places that are more touristy than others? I'm not looking to go crazy, only to enjoy my 5 days there

If it helps, I am going with three of my friends and we plan to take Amtrak there (from New York) to make it more adventure like heh. We plan to stay for 5-7 days so British Colombia might be ruled out of the question (i think the Amtrak ride there is 2 or 3 days on the train).

Quote from BlueFlame :

Yes, Zeug it's true, because people think Ignorance is a bad thing. You have a happier life when your ignorant. That's why American's still live in America

So lets take a look at what you just said.
1. Americans are ignorant
2. Ignorant people live happier lives
3. Americans live in America
Conclusion= Americans live happier lives and since all Americans are ignorant and live in America, America is a happier place .

Quote from BlueFlame :

Why do people insist on saying that? Everyone tries to be funny. Except when they are making a point that's worth sticking to.
I don't give a toss mate, this is the internet, any stick from anyone in real life and my fist is in their face, alot of you Geeks here, can't handle a beer never mind a fight.

So you've taken your knowledge (or lack thereof) of America, to fighting people in real life? Forget real life, you NEED a life.

Quote from BlueFlame :

What Drug's have you been taking? Oh, just a few paracetamol's cos you're too socialy retarded to even get INTO drugs.
**** American, the UK is blatently the most retarded country in the world why would we try to argue about America being shit and then start arguing with each other......

You are again generalizing. Btw, the internet on which you post, and play LFS (because you clearly do not use it for research) was invented by a British man.

Sorry to bump an extremely old thread, but I was looking over my interm-report last night and realized I got a 46% on that story. I'm rather pissed off about it, TBH.

Quote from BlueFlame :

American's are a little too proud... Us Brits as example, know when things are shit, and we don't lie through our teeth about it, just because it is our Country.

What is wall street? You are trying to tell me that is a historical artifact?! All you American's seem to recognise as your own history is your Democracy, well why does everyone think Bush is a complete cretin? Oh, so your Democracy didn't have anything to do with that? Or the senseless violence in your own country, you're persistance to better other countries when your own country is pretty much a 3rd world country itself. Bar the excess food, commercial enterprises and fat people of course. Again, I pity you , because your country has no depth, you try to defend it, but it doesn't make sense. You really don't have anything to be proud about. Maybe the invention of the television, but I think the guy that invented it was Scottish (and no i'm not thinking of alexander graham bell thank you.) just like alot of 'American' inventors are. Love the way the American's try to claim they did things first. I couldn't ask you alot of questions because Ans, you would probobly use wiki or google to find the answers rather than use your brain.. I would love to ask you who the first person in space was, and hear you say Neil Armstrong because I know that is what you would say, without even knowing you as a person.

I pretty much laughed my whole way through that. Anyone reading what you just wrote will see the ignorance in you. America a third world country? You've got to be kidding. When did i ever claim that America did things first? Also, all American inventors are Scottish? Nice generalization there. Have you sat through any level of education? You do know that the first man in space was not American right? I don't remember if it was you or someone else that said America needs to be pushed around and taken over etc. Well, we were, and unlike most other countries, we actually did something about it. You are jealous because America was able to stay powerful and independent.

Quote from BlueFlame :

I do pity the USA, not because it is a bad country as such... but really... they don't have anything to be proud about.. Their country has no history worth remembering, as it makes the country look even worse, if you DO remember it. I think it is sad, American people don't know what it is like, to walk around Cities to see Roman walls, and think that the Roman's used to walk around here... To see WW2 plane wrecks stuck in forests, and Sunken Galleons and to go to a Scottish island that was once owned by the Norse Vikings... That's why I pity them. There's no depth to the country. Other-than the stereotype that is reflected today.. European countries have had years and years to gain social status I guess and I suppose America is still in the Acceptance phase.

I think it is sad, that no other nation knows what its like to walk around and see skyscrapers 1,400 ft tall or Wall St. and think that America has the most powerful economy in the world...to see nuclear submarines and the Pentagon and think that America has the most powerful military in the world..to look at the White House and the Capitol and think, America has the strongest democracy in the world.

From what i can tell, you know nothing about American History and although Wikipedia is not a reliable source at all, it is good for the most general pieces of info (which in your case would be like reading gold). America has plenty of History to be proud of. I suggest you take your ignorant ass over there and start reading. Maybe navigating a United States website will be difficult for you. As such, i will supply you with a link. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_of_America

I also suggest that you consider certain things that you take for granted and/or use every day. You will realize that most of them are American inventions.

Quote from BlueFlame :

I think it's funny you think I am someone's Second account Tristan

I think it's funny how you avoided my attack on your country without even supplying a defense. Probably because you know its true.

Quote from BlueFlame :

It's all about letting it flow, even when some American's seem geniunly not bothered about this kind of humour towards them, you just know they hate it.

Says the man whose country declared independence in 1991 and whose parliament gave their president lifetime power.

Quote from BlueFlame :

There is a video of Austrailians going to America and telling lies and the American's just believe it.

What is your point? Everyone nation in the world has stereotypes that are unavoidable. Why do people bitch about getting their country made fun of? I know who I am. I don't need stereotypes to tell me that. I'm an American and I like burgers. Woopdeedoo

agree 90%

how about you?

i would pay a hitman to shoot you, then have him steal everything that you bought with your lottery money. that way you won't exist, and i will have all my money back.
