I haven't got it yet, but do you have any idea what the PC version is like, and does it require superior system specs?!

4 responses

randomgrafix I've got the PC version and my system is a P4 1.7Ghz, 512MB ram with a 256MB Graphics card and it runs pretty good on it. Carbon actually requires less than Most Wanted.

randomgrafix Just remember that a digicam shoots only as much as your memcard will hold... so get big cards.

randomgrafix Well, I guess it's all about how serious she wants to get into video. I have a digicam that shots great video but a stand-alone vidcam is best for the dedicated videographer. My opinion is that if she's not going into heavy video taking then a digicam that...

randomgrafix Oh yeah I also recommend getting a battery grip. It holds 2 extra sets of batteries so you'd never run out of juice on any day's shooting. Amazon has the Opteka Battery Pack Grip for Canon for about $90US (the orginal Canon is about $140US)

randomgrafix Definatly Canon Rebel XTi 10MP. Amazon has it for $768US with 18-55mm kit lens (good starter lens). I've used this cam as well as Nikon, Fuji & Olympus... and the Canon blows them away in overall image quality. Nikon has a slightly better user interface and...

randomgrafix First decide on a budget for your camera. From that you can decide what type of camera to buy. A budget between $500-$1000US can get you a DSLR (digital single lens reflex) camera a Canon Rebel XT, Rebel XTi, 20D all with one 18-55mm lens or NIkon D50, D70,...

randomgrafix I guess it all depends on why she/he's hurting. But I refuse to keep anyone in my life that doesn't want to be there. If you're unhappy and I've tried everything to make you happy then you're not for me or I'm not for you... so you can go. I'll hurt for a...
