Time to Build a New Computer and My Nikon D70s Returns..

Definitely time to build a new computer, now I process a lot of NEF/RAW files from my camera…I spend half of my time waiting for loading and filters to run. It’s a reasonable length I’ve been using this setup too, I find 18 months to be a regular upgrade cycle for the core components of […]
