    Why don't you buy a Haswell CPU and board? You can probably reuse the RAM.

    Get a 6D. The 7D II is for speed and reach, not best IQ.

    dSLR thread

    300 DPI is the standard for images to be printed, so a clean 15MP would be good for around 10.5x16". Of course images can be uprezzed as well, though that is not quite as good. In recent years consumer standards seem to be all over the place, and often the unwashed masses will accept real...

    I mostly use panning/stitching to obtain 50-500MP images. Canon's 21/22 MP resolution from ~2008 is archaic and often insufficient for landscapes, especially if cropping is needed.

    Everything else being equal, a higher sampling frequency (smaller pixel pitch) produces better results with any lens, though returns diminish with lesser quality lenses. The pixel size is similar to that of an APS-C 20 MP body, so it's not a stretch at all, especially for the latest lens...

    Thanks. I don't need 3-4 batteries, but I want to have two. My last case was terrible in that the tabs started breaking off after it was taken apart about 5 times.

    No, it's more to compete with the coming ~50MP Nikon and Sony cameras. 5D series is not waterproof. It's better than some cheaper bodies though not like the 1DX.

    It seems to be very noisy, so I don't think so but the rumors persist. I don't know what to do with the camera. It's apparently only 5FPS even with the crop, which rather stinks. The new 11-24 is more interesting.

    What is a good smallish case that can be removed for battery access? I forgot to ask if there are different phone models for different carriers, or if they are all the same now. I see that the price differences between carriers don't seem to be a high as a few years ago. Which one do you...

    Maybe I should just get the S5. I did not like the barebones interface on the 7" Nexus tablet I got a couple years ago. The Samsung 8.4" pro tablet (2014) setup seems a lot better with more options. Apparently her Nexus just updated to Android 5 OS and the user is not very happy. They...

    6TB Seagate Hard Drives $199 Shipped Free

    Yes it must. I examined the box in the retail store and the 8TB looks the same as the lower capacities. As mentioned by Coug, it's not large enough for 2 full sized drives, and there are no smaller 4TB drives.

    I'm trying to gauge whether the battery is an issue compared to the older phones. It does not sound good. Normally I keep either one spare for emergencies or an external charger. The S6 rumors indicate that it may be like the dreaded iPhones without a replacement battery. I know that is the...

    My SII phone is on the last legs. It is very warm and not charging properly. I'm trying external, but that is not so great every day. I was reading that there will be a Galactic S6, but not for months. Should I buy the S5 or what? Thanks.
