Canon EOS 5D Mark III is Great Dslr Camera

Dslr camera black friday, I am amazed at how many features this camera has. It's focusing is extremly fast and the lens is quiet in video mode. The 23 mpx makes photos suprisingly clear. Compared to the Xsi and the T4i that I already have, it is some larger and heavier. I think I will need some time to learn all of its features. Well, done, Canon is good dslr camera. If there is already capability for wifi and GPS built into the body of the camera like the 6D, why it that the separate kit for wifi and GPS for the 5D III are still so bulky and worse still, not combined into a single kit.? Latest 5D III purchasers feel cheated. Definitely not happy. Apart from that, great dslr camera black friday.

dslr black friday, What a breath of fresh air after having to suffer with the Canon 5DII. Getting good focus is not a miss or hit thing anymore, and I don't have to wade through tons of photos to filter out the ones that "made it" with regards to focus. The 5DIII is the real deal and just nails every single focus and exposure and makes it almost impossible to take a bad picture. Where I used to have to take 5 or more pictures of a single opportunity in hope of stumbling over a keeper with my 5DII, now every picture simply is perfect. ISO performance is incredible and noise is great even at ISO 6400, this opens up so many new avenues that were simply not there. I especially love the flexibility I now have with my 580EX II flashes where I can use ISO 3200 and minimal flash to capture surrounding ambiance in night photos ... it almost looks like no flash was used. Nothing really bad that I can point to with this camera, it really is the by far my best DSLR camera purchase ever.

Dslr black friday, Ive gone from the Canon 20D to the Canon5D to the 5dmk2 and recently made the decision to upgrade to the Canon5dmk3. Both of my 5Dmk2 shutter lives were over the 150,000 "clicks" from Canon so I used that to justify my upgrade. I sent in the 5d2 for service as I am going to keep one of them for backup and to second shoot.

I have reviewed things before like the Canon 70-200mm f2.8 v2 lens HERE. Once again this review doesn't contain any charts and scientific mathematical optical graphs comparing the 5dmk2 to the 5dmk3. But I do have real world (for me) tests.

Ive had 5 sessions with the new 5DMK3...here is MY mini review with 5 images (edited in LR and CS6)

1) Focus is light years better than mk2. Canon finally got it right. My 50mm 1.2 that I never use because of poor performance with my mk2 (even after sending it in to Canon to have them calibrate it together) is now spot on. You can pick your focus point with your zoom or primes at IT NAILS IT. Using the dials I can pick the tiny red square where I want it to focus on my portraits and guess what? It nails it! No more trying to lock focus at 2.8 or wider then recomposing, zooming in, trying it again, over and over. Although it is a hard habit to break from 4 years with the 5dmk2s. But I finally feel confident when the shutter clicks (which is probably how most Nikon users already feel).

2) The camera seems "faster".The shutter makes a more "confident" sound without being louder... and is quicker. Sounds like a "quiet" machine gun that the other cameras (like Nikon) must sound like when shooting multishot.

3)The screen is gorgeous, bright, and HUGE. The magnification with one press takes you right into a zoom. No more plus, plus,plus,plus,plus to look at eyes then minus,minus,minus,minus,minus to back out. It looks amazing and clear...even outdoors in bright sun at the beach. Its like going from a 13inch laptop screen to a 30inch monitor. The only thing that it a hard habit to break is Canon moved the magnifying glass to the other side of the camera so I keep pressing the wrong button with my thumb to magnify. It is now on the left which will take some time getting used to. I think you have two choices: Trade to the Nikon system OR get the 5d3 to stay with Canon. I have shot with Nikon before. It feels like that when shooting with the 5d3-fast, confident, spot on focus. Everything else is the beautiful images that canon users have learned to love and the fast prime lenses love this camera as well.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 is Great Android for Student

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 black friday, I have waited a month before reviewing as I wanted to have plenty of time to wring it out. I am totally impressed with this tablet. Do not listen to others about "build quality". So what if it has a plastic back? It won't dent that way and it's plenty solid. I have no issues with that and I think the build quality is extremely good. This is my 3rd Android tablet and is by far the most useful. I admit, I did mainly get this for the S-pen and it's drawing capabilities. While that is outstanding, this is a very solid and productive tablet for the casual user to the business minded. All of the office type apps work flawlessly, wifi through my network and I can print documents, full Word, Powerpoint, Excel, etc. I use this thing all the time for my business and I don't leave the house without it. Now onto the drawing or S-pen portion. Once you get the hang of the program's available for this, it's a blast to use!! I have always liked drawing and doodling and this just works. My fav app so far is the Sketchbook PRO version. The Photoshop app works well too but I'm really still learning how to use that. I love the fact that I can whip this out and start taking notes if needed for a meeting, do voice record, draw up a quick display or graph. Fantastic. I use this a lot as well for Netflix and other media consumption apps and that works fantastic as well. I have read a lot about the people having issues with the screen. NO, it's not the highest resolution out there but it does work and it's beautiful. The reason this does not have the latest and greatest screen resolution is due to the WACOM portion not being compatible for that high of resolution. that's what I am told anyway. If you MUST have the best screen, you may not want this however, I don't see how anyone can have a problem with it. Did I mention this thing is a speed demon??? After a month, not a stutter, shudder, or squint out of it. It takes all the apps, movies, music, docs I can throw at it and it doesn't miss a beat. Very impressed with that after previous Android tabs. By the way, I am coming from a Toshiba Thrive 16GB and a Kindle Fire.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 black friday
, In summation, if you are looking for a tab that you can actually be productive at and get office type of work done, this is it. It's great at media consumption but any tablet can do that. This thing is actually USEFUL!! Build quality, excellent, screen, excellent, processor, excellent. And the speakers in FRONT??? Genious!! This is actually too loud sometimes depending on your surroundings. WHY no one puts the speakers on the front is beyond me. Makes total sense. Once you get the hang of the S-pen, it's awesome and no gimmick. Very useful tool and the S-pen feels great in the hand---with the one exception of how you hold it. It will take random screen shots if you don't keep that button on it from under your finger. Just get used to not putting it under your finger and it's fine. A++ tablet and I personally think it's the best on the market at this time. Don't hestitate if you are on the fence, just GO GET IT!! You will be impressed. Way to go Samsung

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 black friday, There are enough reviews dealing with specs and benchmarks, I will only offer my opinion having owned other tablets. This tablet it amazing, it is fast and can really multitask. The Stylus is the key, it is accurate and smooth. Writing with the stylus is like writing with a pen, there is so much potential for software developers with this device. The S apps are user friendly, multiscreen is a very nice feature as well as the floating apps. I have used the photoshop app that is preinstalled, it is similar to the photoshop for PC/MAC just not as robust, having this top level tool on a tablet really takes it to the next level of functionality. The line between tablet and laptop is narrowing with the Galaxy Note. Between the unique software and powerful processor the other players in the market are going to have to step up their game.

I bought Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 black friday this tablet for the quad core 1.4 processor and GPU, and the specs altogether, but it was the S Note application together with S Pen that inclined me to the write this glowing review. Let me start by saying I had low expectations for the S Note app. I expected a half-assed branded app, put out to brag about as a feature. What Samsung has delivered here is instead something that can rival LaTex in final product: Neat, orderly notes. Never mind the smooth, accurate, and responsive pen input, this tablet comes loaded with a pretty accurate function input tool, a shapes tool, and a writing-to-type input feature in it's productivity tools. Hand write and equation as the professor spews his dirty intellectual filth on his white board, and I jot it down, poorly, and Samsung picks up the slack by turning into a neat formula. I hit "insert", size the object down a la MS word, and move it with a drag gesture to place it where I wish. The take away here is this: If you're a student, don't buy and iPad, buy one of these. If you're a writer or an engineer or anyone who actually wants neat documents made on the fly WITH YOUR HAND, pick one of these up. The iPad just can't compete for productivity. And if you're on the Microsoft side of things with your tablet preference, good news: Samsung owns the stylus tech, the algorithms, and the app, so expect to see a Win RT S Note released on their Win 8 surface products. That said, the way they pull of android on this tablet, it's quite capable without x86! I have to mention that this machine is pretty powerful.

Garmin 1450LMT is Car GPS Navigator That Many People Like and Happy

This is 1 of the reasons I bought garmin gps this unit was this and lane assist. Pulling a 5th wheel lane assist is a great reason to buy. This is essential giving a heads up when driving unknown routes. First used it on a very stormy day driving through thick trees and it took over 1/2 hour to find the satellite. But I think this is understandable under the circumstances. Since then, it has connected really quickly. garmin gps black friday.

Generally, it has taken us to our destination without a hitch. However one time, it routed us through a crazy series of streets through the Bronx when we could have just stayed on Rt 95 and made much better time with less aggravation. It's a good idea to do a Google map even though you're using this device so you can compare routes. I'm generally very happy with this item.

A great buy for garmin gps, Easy to use and easy to update.I live on Brazil and bought my GPS on USA. It came with the Usa and Canada map installed, and i installed the South America map.
Both work pretty good! Even on Brazil or in USA. This is the third Garmin in our family . . . and by far the worst. I am blaming it on the map updates, but there seems to be no logic to the directions and it seems far slower to respond than the previous two. Just came home from a trip across the state and ended up going in circles in both Saginaw and Bay City. I would make the turn as indicated and then it would tell repeat the instruction to make the same turn after I was almost 1/10 of a mile down the road. When recalculating, rather than directing me to turn around like previous versions, it would give me a completely new set of directions that would increase the trip time anywhere from 2 to 24 minutes.

When I get close to home it is easier to identify the errors. Wants me to take the exit 6 miles past the one I should and then take me 4 miles past the next most direct route and (total of an 18 mile loop). When I take the correct exit it recalculates three times to try to get me to go back to the longer route. Once that course is no longer feasible it tries to get me to actually go past the end of my road and make a six mile loop in the opposite direction of the original route. It isn't until after I actually turn on to my road that it tells me to travel 1.2 miles to the destination on left. if you like garmin gps, garmin gps black friday is good method.

garmin gps black friday, I had this GPS in my shopping cart for weeks and watched the price get updated all the way up to $158.00 and down to $142.00 everytime I logged in. Sometimes it changed a couple times a day! It got to $141.00 last week so I decided to purchase it. If you arent in a hurry to purchase its worth it to keep in cart and keep an eye on the price changes. I had some difficulty updating the maps because message I got said not enough memory to update US and Canada. So I tried again and just did the US without problems-I'm not traveling to Canada anytime soon so I won't miss the updated maps on that. I also deleted files on the unit that I didn't need such as speech files for the other languages, photos and the help files in other languages and that freed up alot more space for future map updates. I was able to find a few "free" voice files on Garmin website and another on navtones.com. (no credit card info needed there for the free voices just a registration to sign up for access to their site- I got "Tony Rigatoni" for my driving directions! love it! nice Italian accent. I have only been local since I got it so no need to use it but I don't expect any issues when I do need it.

Pioneer avh-p4400bh 2-din multimedia dvd for install your car

Pioneer avh-p4400bh 2-din multimedia dvd, I installed in my 2001 Mustang Bullitt and I love it! I have the Mach 460 system and 'really woke up my speakers of values. My only complaint is the remote control function. And 'that worries me change songs or anything else you must take your eyes off the road and the use of the screen. My old unit allowed me to use the remote to do everything. I live in ATL so there are all kinds of stupid to be taken into account. Otherwise, it is high.

Pioneer avh-p4400bh 2-din multimedia dvd, Have had this unit installed in my pickup '06 F-250 for approx. 6 months and I love it. I have the "koolston"? rearview camera is about $ 14 with her and I am amazed at the launch. Can I use the camera to look down at my hitch, when I got to connect the trailers, fuel, etc. and it works better than what I imagined (if AUX switches, joints, until you can throw a switch to turn on and should not turn upside down and hold). I have an iPhone and I am constantly listening to my music or Pandora. . . Bluetooth is a game-changer for me. I leave my phone in my pocket and when I start the truck and Bluetooth automatically connects the phone to call, but he also plays everything I listen to the latest (playlists on the iPhone, Pandora, etc..) Best game I've ever had!

So far, there has been a great receiver! But it was only a few days. So fareverythings simple to understand. The sound is much better than my previous receiver (Jensen to turn DVDs), Bluetooth works very well. The sound is good and zero complaints the other end of the line and my truck very strong.
Pioneer avh-p4400bh 2-din multimedia dvd I only have one complaint and that is the position of the USB. It is located at the rear of the receiver, run a USB cable somewhere on the dashboard (which comes with a USB cable) I only use my iPhone in it, so I pluged cable end iPhone and iPhone USB connector implemented only , so as not to have excess cables anywhere. It 's really a small complaint for a good receiver.

Pioneer avh-p4400bh 2-din multimedia dvd, I must admit I was excited about this radio, especially after I bought the 9400 for a different car and loved it. It has the most features of the 9400, but I was a little 'disappointed by the graphics. The source is simply not clear that I expect from a new DVD. I'm probably embarrassed the small screens of smartphones that we are all hooked now.

Pioneer avh-p4400bh 2-din multimedia dvd, So, in general, everything works, but obviously I'd like to see the work of Pandora for Android as well. But I knew in advance, and it is good that you can still jump forward on Pandora while playing via Bluetooth.The only thing that disappointed me was that I did not realize was that the USB 2 inches as the 9400. I totally see one and I certainly do not ding the radio for me not to read the description, but I would expect the higher-end model has the same features double-DIN mounting DIN 9400, and a few others.

Other than that, everything is fine, but this kind of expect for the money.Pioneer definitely rocks when it comes to playing, so do not take my comments for this radio is not very good. But now I went in 8400 for better graphics performance.
