Remote Switch - remote switch, canon

Click here for more information If you plan on taking any photos requiring longer exposure times (particularly "bulb-mode" photographs in which the shutter remains open until you close it), you need this accessory for your camera.



Though the cord is shorter than would be desired, a quick trip to any electronics store should provide a simple solution in an extension: a 3/32" stereo extension cord, or a 1/8" cord with adapters to 3/32". As these can be had for well under $10, you can easily extend the reach of the shutter release beyond what Canon provided. Canon Remote Switch RS60 E3

While Canon products at times have a price markup for items that bare the label (like Harley Davidson products) there are a few gems that are good deals at the price point. The Canon backpack and the 50mm 1.8 lens are examples of good deals. This switch also belongs in the 'worth the price' category.



The switch connects into the side of the Rebel XT. The female receptor on the camera is underneath a rubber cover. The cover folds back awkwardly/protrudes when the switch is connected. This is mildly annoying, but not a big deal.



The switch is simple yet effective: half push for focus, full push to take the picture, or push the switch forward to lock the shutter open (for night shots, lightning, etc.). When pressed forward, the shutter remains open until you pull the switch back into place. You don't have to hold the switch open as it locks once it is slid forward.



The switch can activate the shutter either in the single shot mode or the time delay mode. Single shot or time delay are set on the camera, not on the switch.



In single shot the shutter is activated as soon as the button is fully pressed. In time delay, fully pressing the button starts the 10-second countdown prior to the picture being snapped (time to run in front of the camera for family or self-portraits).



For macro shots, night shots, or shots in which minimal or no camera shake is permissible this inexpensive device is quite useful.



Finally, it has little notches built in to the side of its body to help hold the cable securely against the body when the cable is wrapped up for storage. It also has a slot to plug in the male attachment (the part that plugs into the camera) built into the body for convenience in storage and to protect the connector when not in use.



I'm glad I bought it.

What would I do without my remote switch? I would cry real tears. I bought it for nighttime photography and long exposures without camera shake but I use it for almost everything. Even portraiture benefits from this nifty little tool as subjects can be fooled into relaxing their faces while one is not behind the lens. I would have given it five stars but the cord is slightly shorter than I would like.

I'll start off by saying that this item IS compatible with the Rebel XTi (I've seen conflicting information floating around).



I just recently purchased my XTi and noticed that even when using a tripod that my pictures would come out slightly blurred a lot of the time - I'm assuming this is from the vibration when pressing and releasing the shutter button. This made long-exposes such as night photography difficult for me and often left me disappointed with the results.



Fortunately I found this great item! It plugs into the side of the camera by the USB connector and features basic controls (half click, full click, and the ability to click and lock the button).



One of the first things you'll notice is the short cord - something almost every single review has mentioned but I really didn't think it would be THAT short - this is both a Pro and a Con.. A "Pro" because it doesnt leave lots of slack that can become tangled or drop loosely to the ground but also a "Con" because you still need to remain relatively close to the camera for this to function.. If you're dealing with Macro (up-close) photography with live animals it would be nice to set the camera up and sit 5-10 feet away and remotely trigger the camera without being close enough to scare them away. Another time a long cord would be nice would be for self-photography and to place a camera in a place which is otherwise not reasonable for you to get to (such as a high location, on a roof, in a tree, etc..)

Apparently you can get a little "Do it yourself" with this item and splice a longer cable onto it if you feel the need. They also sell a wireless remote which is probably even better for these needs but you have to keep a direct connection between the camera and the remote).



Back to this remote switch though:



By half-pressing the remote, the camera will autofocus (much as it does when half-pressing the shutter button on the actual camera) and fully pressing it will release the shutter and snap a picture.



The part that becomes quite nice is the "Lock" function. This lets you lock the button down (done by full-clicking and sliding the button to the side) for as long as you want while the shutter remains open - this means you can lock it for 5 minutes for pinhole photography or night shots - something you would otherwise need to keep your finger on the shutter release button for (which will almost always cause some vibration/shaky pictures).

You do this by setting the exposure time to "Bulb" mode (from what I can tell, its only available in [M] mode on the XTi).



A very excellent remote switch that is more than worth the $20-30 selling price (just don't tell canon!) - If I could make one change it would be to have the camera use a replaceable cable so that you could easily unplug the 2 foot one and replace it with a 5 or 10 foot one since it appears to just be a standard audio cable.



All-in-all, a must-buy which is also very affordable! - Remote Switch - Canon - Photography - Long Exposure

Ipad 2g Accessories - ipad 2 accessories, ipad 2 cases

Click here for more information I read the first reveiw on this product and figured it couldnt be too difficult to modify this cover to also utilize the smart cover for the front of the ipad.



with the scissors on my swiss army knife it took me about 10 minutes. Dont use kitchen scissors unless they are small and have a sharp edge.



First measure up the two magnetic hinges and cut the approximate sized rectangles in the spalsh vapor cover. Note: you do need to cut out two equally sized rectangles and cut the rectangles all the way to the top edge(lip) of splash vapor cover in order for the magnetic hinges to fully connect to the ipad.



After cutting out the two rectangles I left my smart cover on the ipad and then put the ipad into the splash cover.



The top edge(lip) of the splash cover will actualy fit perfectly over the long magnetic bar between the two magnetic hinges on the smart cover.



10 minutes of work and now my ipad is protected on both sides. Worth the 20 bucks for sure. splash VAPOR Slim-Fit Flex Case for Apple iPad 2 2G 2nd Generation (CLEAR)

This case was EXACTLY what I was looking for :) I'm so happy with my purchase. It fits the ipad2 very snug and it looks great. The back also adds a nice touch with the contour and material changes. Overall very happy.

Thanks for the photos that show the mistakes of cutting too deep. I tried cutting in two attempts. First, I cut away the openings for the hinges as small as I could. Then I fitted the case with the Smart Cover carefully. But I couldn't push back the Smart Cover flat on the back of my iPad. The cuts were not deep enough. Next, since I could see through the hinges, I marked exactly how much more to cut off with a washable pen. Then I made cuts again. It worked! My cuts are a little uneven but that's hardly noticeable once everything was fitted together. I really like this clear slim cover. You can see through the Apple logo. I bought an iPad 2 because it is light, slim, and portable. I didn't like the idea of putting it in a bulky cover. My iPad 2 is white with a gray Smart Cover so this clear Splash back cover goes together beautifully. Some small suggestions:

1. Before cutting, mark "TOP" and "RIGHT" with small pieces of masking tape to avoid accidentally marking or cutting the wrong side. (You never know.)

2. Turn "OFF" iPad Cover Lock before cutting and fitting the case.

3. Do the work on a piece of nonskid rubber sheet so you don't accidentally let your iPad fly away while working!

4. For cutting lines, I poked holes with a very pointy sharp knife like dotted lines first and then I could cut sideways with a flat thin blade. Do it on an old magazine. (A pair of scissors didn't work for me; cuts were too small and the case is rather tough to cut with scissors.)



I hope this company will make pre-cut covers for iPads with Smart Covers!

So I am a not as bright as others who were able to make the adjustments with little trouble. I made the same mistake as JenD who posted the picture showing the 1/4" gaps in the back because I stupidly thought that people were cutting little rectangle windows. You do not do that. Cut from from the edge of the case in. It does fit well with the adjustments, but I cannot live with the gaps so I will probably get a new one. The reason for the 3 stars is because we should not have to make these adjustments. The manufacturer should make one to fit the smart cover!

Thanks to the other reviews I purchased it, used the pictures to make the simple modification and now I have back protection on my iPad 2 AND can use the smart cover. The smart cover is also more secure. I'm ordering another if they make them in red. The helpful customers have posted pictures of the modifications. It's best to use an exacto knife or sharp blade and make the cuts wide enough to accommodate the width of the primary magnets on the smart cover. Easy to do. Thanks Amazon reviewers and community. I have EXACTLY what I was looking for.

A tip for those making the "cut" modifications mentioned in other reviews: Use small wire cutters as your primary tool; the kind you might use for clipping plastic wire ties for example - not big ones.



These will enable you to make straight, even cuts for a more polished end result. Sawing with a razor, exacto, or repeated pinching & cutting with nail clippers will work, but not look nearly as good. So: Use small wires cutters.



You must cut notches from the edge to accommodate the two larger hinge parts of the SmartCover. The long, lower profile part of the hinge will be covered by the Flex Case.



All good when done!

Emboldened by reviews here, I bought one to modify to work with my smart cover. It took about half an hour to get the holes just right - I intentionally made them small and scaled up. The fit is great now. The cover itself is good. A bit thicker than I had anticipated. One drawback: when you prop up the ipad in landscape mode, it feels slightly less secure with the vapor cover on, like it might tilt. Good for now, better than no cover for the back, but once somebody designs a back cover that works naturally with the smart cover, I'll probably switch. - Ipad 2 Accessories - Ipad 2 Cases - Ipad 2 Cover - Ipad 2 Screen Protector

Garmin Forerunner - garmin forerunner, running

Click here for more information I got a 305 a few years ago, and needed a replacement when the display started dying.

The 305 had obvious usability issues, mostly because it was very clearly not designed by athletes. Unfortunately, the 310xt is just as bad in that respect, and the unit didn't last more than a few months. I own the watch, the heart rate strap, and the foot pod.



My old $50 heart rate monitor did a much better job at letting me know whether my pulse was in range or not than my 310xt (or 305).



My wish list is pretty simple...



When running, I want to know, without looking at the device:

- Whether my heart rate is too high, too low, or in range. Simple, easily identifiable chirps for too high and too low would do.

- Whether my pace is too high, too low, or in range

- Whether my cadence is too high, too low, or in range

- I don't want to be bothered by transients; the watch knows I just turned a corner, so give me a few seconds to reach my goal pace before beeping.

- If my heart rate is high, and my pace low, don't bother me about that unless my cadence is low, too.

- Use GPS data to control my pace and cadence; I'm not going to keep a steady pace on a trail that has steep gradients. It's OK if I have to hit a button when I get to the peak or start a climb. But don't make me dive into a menu to lower my pace goal.

- I don't want to be told my heart rate is too low when I just started running; clearly it's already rising rapidly, so there is no need for the watch to bother me about it.

- When I'm having a bad day, let me lower my goals without having to stop to do it. A long press on the down button would do.



In my experience, the 305 is a better product than the 310. It uses a wired connection instead of an ANT stick, so it's much faster. The software is better for runners, especially the quick workout. Add that it's cheaper, and there really is no reason to get the 310 if you're not planning to swim.

Samsung C8000 3D LED HDTV

The Nicest TV at this time

This TV is absolutely amazing. I was actually waiting to get out of the C9000, but the price that the TV is well above the limit. I discovered that this TV is the next step down and is actually the same technology as the C9000 at a distance less than the touch screen (which can be purchased separately) and slim profile, not a big deal seems to have the TV Account Data good and the price is half or less than a C9000!

In all honesty, I think this TV has one of the best photos I've ever seen. An example is the pin-point obscuring, who collected a large number of critics and skeptisism. I saw the live television production model and I must say, I think it's better than the local anti-glare, and I'll tell you why ... Unless there is a new panel has been done to solve local dimming "halo effect", is currently the only way to achieve the levels of contrast outradgeous without this problem. Blackout pin-point of this TV reduces dark spots on the screen in a certain area, without halo effect and should be completely black when watching movies with dark screens, such as a local-dimming television blackout.

I think this TV is characterized by the LED television because it creates great black levels without any halo effect. It is huge deal for me. Next is the color accuracy of this panel, I believe that whites and colors of this TV is probably better than I've ever seen. Even if the temperature of the plasma can sometimes have better colors, but will not come from the screen with a series like this environment. This TV show is looking strong and beautiful and wonderful in 3D and high definition like never before.

Last but not least ... This TV is loaded with features, easily making it one of the most feature-rich TV is on the market. It completely wireless, it has 4 HDMI conenction Internet applications and streaming, and better yet, does it well! I did a lot of research and comparing this TV with its competitors, the most recent and what it is. Not enough my word for it, go see for yourself and see what I mean.

A very happy owner

I was owner one of the first Samsung HDTV sold since their first series DLP generated. I think I paid $4500 for a 43" at that time. Until now, high definition televisions purchased in the middle eight or so have been progressively better than the last. The last, a Panasonic 42" Plasma 1080p, has a good image, but could also heat the house. The UN46C8000 is a huge leap in image quality and operates at only 92 watts.

Watching Avatar at 1080P was good and the scene of the movie the first night of the family are convinced that we need another new HDTV! I have not bought this game for 3D technology. 3D will improve in a few years and needs more content to be cheap and plentiful. Quality 2D that interested.

I am not a fan of the stylish remote control. Even if the control is backlit, touch a place in the top right to activate it. I like remote controls with a passion to see in the dark. I think to buy rmc30c2 remote control when it leave. I read that the video screen on the remote control does not work like the 9000 series, but it is not a problem with me. I highly recommend this 3D LED HDTV. Amazon was the prices rock!

Digital Photo - lens cleaner, sd cards

Click here for more information With the prices of DSLRs and mirrorless compacts edging closer toward the 400 dollar mark, the market for compact digital cameras are not as profitable as they once were. Manufacturers struggle to find every possible way to reduce production cost to bring the retail prices of these little imagers as low as possible while maintaining their usability as an actual digital camera.



It would have been impossible to imagine a model like the DSC-W530, having a 14.1 sensor, usable high ISO sensitivities, 4x optical zoom with Carl-Zeiss optics to sell for anything less than 400 dollars just 5 years ago.



With compact digital cameras becoming obsolete as soon as they are released, Sony has attempted once again to maintain its position as a serious point-and-shoot maker since their Mavica days.



The W530, along with all of Sony's most recent W series, stands somewhere between Sony's entry level models and their somewhat advanced but expensive "luxury" models. Under the current W series line-up, Sony has the W510, W520, W530, W550, W570, WX5 and WX7.



For the past few years, Sony has been creating one ultimate point-and-shoot for each one of their W, HX and T series, stripping away certain premium features as they go down the price tags to finally arrive at some insanely cheap model made out of painted plastic for each one of those series.



So for the price of just over 100 dollars, Sony was able to retain some of the more important features from their most expensive W model, the WX7 on the DSC-W530, and they are:



1) Usable high ISO sensitivities at 1600 and 3200. Colors look a bit flat and the images look processed at these settings, but at least the images are usable for smaller prints. Please bare in mind that this is after all a point-and-shoot and not a mirrorless or DSLR with APS-C sized sensors, so I'm applying a very different standard here when rating the high ISO output of this camera.



2) Useful, good quality 4X Carl Zeiss optics and fast focus lock.



3) Punchy colors and very well balanced exposure, although dynamic range (the total number of levels that can be captured from the darkest point to the brightest point of an image, without clipping) is very limited.



4) Very elegant semi-metal chassis with brushed aluminum for the front.



5) Extremely thin profile with the extra small battery, weightlessness: this camera will most likely be able to sneak into a concert without you having to convince the bouncers that you are carrying a bar of soap in your pocket.



6) Generously sized 2.7" LCD screen with plenty of light under room lighting, just barely viewable under very bright sunlight..



7) VGA video recording with sound and Sweep Panorama.



8) Uses both Sony Memory Stick and SD cards (Up to SDXC), although this feature is nothing new but it's worth mentioning,



However, the wafer-thin battery has very limited operation charge capacity, and the camera seems to missing a few traditional controls such as creative mode selection (color, b&w, sepia, etc) and a "mode" dial to give you direct access to preset photographic parameters. Some basic manual controls like the W300 over the camera's shuttle speed and aperture were of course also missing, and due to the size of the camera, it is being operated and controlled by only a handful of buttons.



And here's a list of things that I did not like about this camera:



1) A Sony processor instead of a Bionz processor. Although I think there really isn't anything to shout about over the lack of a Bionz processor in the camera, since the Bionz processor doesn't really do that much in terms of picture quality improvements over a Sony processor. The Sony image processor for the W530 seems to be doing quite well in noise handling,



2) No sports mode (may also explain the slower than average maximum shutter speed of just 1/1500 sec). Difficult to freeze moving objects when needed.



3) No USB charging (Sony never had them though).



4) Super slow continuous burst. At 1 frame per second, Sony might as well remove this feature altogether.



5) No zooming during movie shooting.



But other than the few gripes above, I find myself enjoying the use of this camera completely. The camera is small, light and looks really good up close and shoots half decent pictures under most conditions. It comes with a USB / Video connector so the user can playback their shots directly on a tv.



At the end of the day, the W530s will most likely end up in your purse or briefcase for the simple fact that they are so freakishly small and easy to carry, provide butt-kicking images with punchy colors, balanced contrast at the resolution of 14.1 megapixel even at maximum ISO and the camera simply looks too elegant to be left in a desk drawer. The camera has its limits but as far as a point-and-shoot camera goes, Sony may have hit the right spot again in terms of beauty, afforabiliy and usability with the W530. Definitely worth a test drive if you are out there shopping for a compact point-and-shoot that looks elegant but cost a little over 100 dollars.

Panasonic TC-P50GT30 This 3DTV good fit for any house

I have had this TV for about two weeks, and I feel I had enough time to acclimate it. Let me start by saying that I am a happy owner of a 42" LCD Vizio. The picture quality is pretty good for the price I paid, and the size was large enough for the space I used until recently, I had problems with it, but a couple of months, I had to send for repair the inverter board. This has left me without TV for a month. During this period, I started looking for a new television. The most important feature for me was the quality images. From what I saw in person and I was told, plasma TVs have better image quality. I also have a 3D TV, as I like when it's done well in theaters. These two aspects, the quality of images 2D and 3D has led me to Panasonic. I feel that 'I made the right decision by choosing the 50" GT30.

I will begin by reviewing the appearance of television. Many people are under the impression that only the LCD panel has an LED. Law thin and light as I opened the box, I saw that it was simply not true. This TV is about half of my Vizio thinner and weighs just a little more, a fact the difference in size. The structure and packing are both beautiful. The glossy finish is similar to many other brands of TV and remember the iPhone 4. On the back there is a plethora of inputs including a pair of USB, four HDMI inputs, as well as others that are standard on most TVs. The plot is very well done, in my opinion. Included in package are cable connections that connect the rear, allowing for easier access, if necessary. This package also includes a hub, which, though beautiful, is something you probably do not need too much. However, I see that it is useful to allow easy access to some of the cables. Overall, this is one of the best plasma available without paying top prices absolute.

The main reason I chose this TV over any other was for its outstanding image quality. The reviews I had seen not lied when they said this panel is the top of the line. The black levels are deep, more than any LCD I've seen. The colors are brilliant and accurate. I played video games, watch cable programs standard definition movies, streaming Netflix and Blu-ray seen in the last two weeks. The details are clearer and more beautiful than I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. The contrast of films like The Dark Knight and The Matrix were a completely different experience than my old TV. Games had a very good response time and seemed to choke on the best facilities available in the second compared to my Vizio.

Another aspect of this TV that brought me to it 's acquisition was the 3D option. Many people are put off by 3D. I think this is caused by two things. Number one: the lack of quality films in 3D. Number two: the excess film in 3D with poorly executed. So far I've seen Avatar and Tron: Legacy 3D. I experienced very little crosstalk and blur and loss of resolution, if any, is small with this TV. Personally, I can not tell the difference. The depth of field while watching these films is just as good if not better than when I saw in the theater. I have not had a chance to display any animated film in 3D, but after I update when I get the chance. The settings I use when watching TV was pre-loaded in THX mode. From what I can see, the THX mode is the best option, even better than all the calibration parameters that I have experienced.

Now I see my transaction with Amazon. There are a few reasons why I decided to buy on Amazon. More importantly, I use this site for many different things. Their customer service is second to none, and past experience, I'm much more comfortable to buy here than any other online retailer. Another decisive factor for my purchase was funding opportunities available. I usually offer 24 months interest free financing available, an application for a store card from Amazon. I had approval within a few seconds, and immediately bought the TV. So far I have not had any problems with the board. I was very impressed with the two-week money back guarantee of the Amazon. Because of lower prices, I contacted Amazon and received $100 (credited to the card shop, of course). The white glove delivery was very professionally done. The driver has the series in my house and allowed me to feel a bit and make sure everything was fine before you sign it. The delivery of 5 stars.

Overall I am very happy, not only television, but with Amazon service. Buy a new TV is not a decision that should be taken lightly. It 's investment that will be with you for years to come. Judging by the quality of this TV, I'm pretty sure I'll enjoy this investment for many years. The Panasonic GT30 deserves all the praise it has received. It is capable of more than television, movies and games. It can be part of what each of us thinks that "at home".

Panasonic VIERA TC-P50GT30 Stunning image HD

The image quality of this 3D TV is crazy good. The colors are bright and vivid without being over saturated and realistic. The blacks are black and shadow detail is very good. One of the reasons I bought the GT30 in the ST30 is the THX mode, which gives really good pictures of spare parts without calibration. If you change the image, however, there are two modes of professional in the image controls that allow very deep.

1080p source material with high bit rate (like Vudu HDX or BluRay) is incredibly strong and beautiful, while not looking strong at the point of unreality, like watching an LCD. 720p sources look very good if a little more. 480i/p sources look good. I spent a few minutes to watch SD and the experiment was unexpectedly. Movement on the GT30 looks very smooth and realistic without displaying the devastating effect soap operas that seem to suffer 120/240Hz LCD.

I tried to use the software Panasonic Viera Cast on TV and I found these to be very late. It was not very sensitive and I found that the project is the ugly side. Vizio and Samsung have a much more polished platform multimedia integrated into their TVs. And Panasonic can improve performance with the firmware in the future bets. If I were planning on using Viera Cast remember my low score, but I have a Media Center PC and PS3 to replace all the functionality Viera Cast.

3D performance is very good. So far I've seen Tron 3D on blu-ray, PS3 and some games in 3D, the 3D image is very engaging and THX color accuracy is very good in 3D. I have had bad experiences with a friend of crosstalk 3D LCD Samsung C7000 and can become very tedious and annoying. Fortunately I had everything on the GT30 in the display light or dark environments.

I've heard some early reports of the GT30 exhibiting floating blacks when viewing material that changes from a darker to a lighter scene suddenly. I haven't experienced any of this. I watched Black Swan on bluray to test this and black levels remained dark and consistent throughout with no slight jumps in brightness.

I am also very impressed with the design of the GT30. It great that my appearance and superb Droid mounted on my wall. Panasonic has always been behind the likes of Sony and Samsung to design their TV, but actually strengthened their game with the GT30. Having a TV that does not seem surprising when it is off like he does when he is on the most unexpected.

Overall the GT30 is an incredible TV that makes no compromises when it comes to picture quality. If you want to spend more money, the VT30 it will probably improve upon the GT30 in some way when it's released but I'm having a hard time coming up with things they could improve outside of their Viera Cast platform.
