Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"We need a digital camera that can be switched on and fire off that first shot fast. It's not a commonly tracked statistic on any review site, and nobody seems to have this information for every camera. We were hoping other readers could inform us as to what small digital cameras can fire off their first pics in under a second (ideally under half a second). It needs to be small, but mostly, just really quick in operation. Thanks!"
damn... well, half of that goes to that 103 inch Panasonic plasma... $15k goes to speakers and $15k in equipment (including Playstation 3 and my Xbox360) and cables... yeah, that sounds good...
In the world of home theater, nobody uses flat panel/RP TV's. Its all front projection. Those giant plasmas are for people with more money then brains/class.
in the world of home theater, my dumb friend, it's all about watching a good picture and listening to a good sound. If I'm gonna spend $30k in a tv or projector, might as well buy something I can see in daylight, too.
I ain't buying stuff just because in the world of home theater people buy it. That's just stupid and brainless. I don't follow trends, I do research and buy what I need.
If your going to recommend and rant about a product, at least know the PRICE!! The cost of the 103" Plasma is $70K more than the entire $60K budget, not $15K like you imply!! Front PJ like the other poster said...
"If I'm gonna spend $30k in a tv or projector, might as well buy something I can see in daylight, too."
If you're spending $30k on a tv or projector, I'm /pretty/ sure you're going to be able to afford a separate room to put it in. Light will not be an issue.
And as everyone else has said, a gigantic plasma/LCD is just silly... it's a home theater, not a home stadium. You're not looking to buy a jumbotron here. You'll get a way better piece of equipment for $30k if you buy a projector than a TV.
