Nice keyboard. Mum bought one similar to that a few months ago, since she works at home. What I like about Logitech keyboards is that even the lower-end ones have exactly the same feel to the keys as the top-of-the-range ones. images/smilies/smile.gif

I love it. Feels like I'm typing on air. Nice and smooth action images/smilies/smile.gif. Plus the next step up was an almost $70 CDN jump to the G15.

Looks like I am leaning towards a S9500, but it offers a better video mode then most DSLR's at 30fps in 640x480. So that is another reason I am looking to buy a S9500 with a 4GB card, which would offer an hour of video most likely.

Anyway only 10 more days until my Sky HD box is installed, so all I have to say it "Yay".

lol TVR_fan, dSLRs do not offer movie modes at all. Why? because it's a REAL camera.

But any type of cameras should have a recording mode added to it, but why should I settle for a camera that can take great photos. When I could buy a camera with 9 megapixels, aswell as storage which accepts 3 types of cards.

That can rival entry level DSLR's, at less of the price. And I quote from Cnet, an S9500 is a entry level DSLR slayer, which has a good video mode added with it. If I brought a S9500 with a 4GB card, i could get many photos on half of it.

While recording 30mins of parts at different events, like Goodwood FOS 06 at 30FPS in 640x480.

I was talking about the sunglasses, not about your personal hygiene.
