I think we’ve got enough obsolete TVs in the house already. What you should be wondering is why I didn’t try to blow it up and take pictures in the process. 🙂
Oh, do blow it up, won’t you?
Because you need a better lens or camera. Now the question is, why aren’t you researching THAT upgrade?
Well, to properly capture an explosion you will need a rapid-fire camera. The 300D supports three shots per second whereas the 20D can get up to 5. I haven’t done exacting tests, but I think I’ve gotten my 20D up to 6 shots a second with a Compact Flash II card. The 5D, on the other hand, matches the 300D with 3 shots per second, but you’re getting a full frame 12.something meg shot. (Mmmmmm…. 5D….)
So what you’re saying, John, is that *you* should blow up the television.
Well, I’d be happy to photograph the TV as it is suddently, violently, and rather rudely dismantled, but I don’t think I should be trusted with explosives. I’ll leave that to you.
I’m surprised you didn’t take it home to repair!
