Canon Rebel Xs

Visit Store Now !!

I spent several weeks reviewing the REBEL XS vs it's many 10 MP adversaries, I even checked it against the ultra zooms as I wanted the convenience of video as well, but too many good things stood out with this camera and so I decided upon it. I bought the rebel XS and after days of dirt testing this camera I've found it a beautiful experience.

Now I'm a professional videographer attached to a tv station in Trinidad & Tobago, my purpose for this camera was the need for a quick sharp still shot camera that would be impressive under low light and still capture impressive portrait shots to be used for my website and for large prints. I didn't want to shell out over a $1000. US for a camera body.

What is tagged by Canon is true: The full auto mode is truly accurate and gives excellent shots always, it makes photography so easy for a beginner or intermediate. The portrait mode isn't blurry, images are clean, nicely toned, excellent in quality for large size prints. The P ( program mode) I like alot at first because this mode sets exposure so nicely I found it addictive. I shot alot of night pics of cars on a freeway, with bright, sharp, lively colours emerging. Night pics at 800 iso had very very very little noise, and I mean I was searching the pics on 15" monitors for reason to complain, but was really impressed.

The auto focus is really quick. Th XS comes with "only" a 7 point auto focus system compared to the XSi 9 point, forgive me when I say there may be no need for another 2 points when the camera focusses so quick and so accurately. I have not gotten a soft image when shot with the auto focus operating.

Now for those point and shoot cams that boast about "face detection"....5 faces...6,7, some even 15. I also have a 10 mp ultra zoom, this simply matters little if not at all, if the focussing ability of the camera is poor or average, and given the "average lens" quality they're made of.

I have learnt clearly that a 10 MP ultra zoom simply cannot compare to a 10 MP D SLR...chalk and cheese.

I also bought the Tamron 70mm - 300mm, F4-5.6 telephoto/ macro lens. No vignetting at either end of the lens.

Auto iso is simply magnificent, have not taken a shot where the camera over estimated or underestimated the iso levels.

The Manual mode of this camera is the most impressive for me. The rebel XS via various magazine testing has come up faster than it's other 10 MP rivals when it comes to fps shooting, and burst images. It really does shoot 3 fps consistently, it shoots 2.3 fps in low light, worst case is over 1 fps all at 10 MP quality.

I haven't used a lower quality since, given I bought a Transcend 8GB SDHC card storage is not an issue.

Most of my shooting has been at night, for the little done in daylight, it has been amazing. Colours are very bright, depth of field very very nice. Macros works well. Image optimizer simply shocked life out of me. I was in a shaded area and without flash it really improves the subject without over blowing the background, stuff that is almost impossible on point and shoot cams.



Stuff I disagree with from the "reviews" : 1- "The camera feels cheaply built"....simply wrong, nothing is shabby, buttons are actually easy to press, doesn't have cheap clicks to them, the lens mount has a secure feel to it, and a proper snap when it is set. Battery compartment is certainly secure. Your finger must intricately open the door for entry, won't be an accident issue. Rubber door at a.v. ports snap in well. Rubber grip is firm enough, smooth enough to not irritate your hands.

2- " XS is "overpriced" compared to the XSi.....Xsi shoots slower than the XS, XSi picture quality is equal to the XS even though the XSi is 12 MP. The XSi may be the 3" LCD and a few other upgrades, but these upgrades don't add up when the picture is taken and the quality of both cameras match alike. I may have chosen the XSI if I wanted to spend the extra $150. u.s but for the lesser price, I'm yet to regret.

3- "The XS "only has a 2.5" LCD compared to a couple of it's rivals having 3" LCD's". I can see every thing clearly with this screen, even with Histograms, and grids onscreen. If LCD's get much bigger then canon may need to install a tv tuner as well....the 2.5" is more than sufficient.

4- "The XS doesn't have SPOT METERING compared to the XSi, so this is a big issue"- haven't encountered a reason to complain yet, after 500 night shots and 200 day shots.



THE DOWN SIDE: the EOS software for uploading the photos to computer, and remote controlling the cam via computer is AWFUL. It's a task to upload, as it is beach balling when you hit "upload". Digital professional software is non responsive. I have not been able to use the software past the install point. Mac version here.

Better use i-photo and photoshop.



I highly rate this camera, and as a videographer who's accustomed to t.v. broadcast quality the REBEL XS is worth it, and since canon is so intent on pushing the rebel XSi they have significantly lowered the price on the XS.....I recommend people buy the XS and get a good lens with the discount earned. The trick is in the lens and the user, and lesser the camera. Canon Rebel XS 10.1MP Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens (Black)'

I bought this item on July 2009 and used it well in the car for some 3 or 4 months.

Normally I like to write my reviews later in time, when I have been able to test them, (normally we read reviews within a week or so, when everything works perfect)

This item remained connected in the car for a couple of months, and then when I removed it from the plug it broke in the metalic connection.

I did not give it any missuse, so I may have gotten a bad one, or this is just the standard quality.

Better luck if you buy one. Bracketron UGC-102-BL Dual Socket Car Power Adapter

I like this product. It can bend in many different directions which is real helpful when limited on room. The red light on the top lets me know if its on. One of the best splitters out there and with a great price.

Just got this yesterday and it is useless. Will not even turn on. Feels like the adapter will not insert far enough into the socket to make contact. Even if it would work at first, the fit is so loose it would not have a chance of staying attached once I plugged two devices into it. Don't buy this, it's junk. - Splitter - Car Adapter'

Gaming Mouse - mouse, gaming mouse

I purchased this mouse after having lag issues with my Microsoft Mobile Memory Mouse over bluetooth. The MS mouse would lag behind my movements. Really bad when using my bluetooth headset on Skype or MS communicator. The Orochi totally fixed that issue for me! :) I recently bought a Razer Naga and was convinced of the quality of their mice. This is definitely a Razer mouse. Things you expect like a braided cable for wired mode, solid construction and the soft matte finish on the top with glossy sides are all there.



In thinking of a good way to review this mouse I realized a pattern. What I thought was my mobile mouse wish-list turned out to not be quite what I really wanted. The design of the Orochi had the features I didn't know I wanted.



It is a little larger than my previous mobile mouse, BUT it sits better in the hand and is more comfortable in long term use.

It isn't specifically ergonomically designed for right hand use, BUT the excellent ambidextrous design ends up feeling like it was custom designed for whatever hand you use.

It isn't rechargeable, BUT the AA batteries last longer.

The battery compartment is under the top buttons and not on the bottom, BUT it attaches via 3 magnets and is much easier to open/close.

Sure LEDs eat battery power, BUT they come on only when you move the mouse and go off when you stop (this is really fun to watch haha!) - note: you can also disable them for maximum battery life



There are a few key things to know when choosing this mouse



1) When not in wired mode the polling rate and dpi can not go as high. This is due to the bluetooth protocol design and not Razer's. They could have used a custom dongle like on the Mamba, but that would mean something else to carry and use to have wireless connectivity. Bluetooth was a good tradeoff. If you want ultimate performance, plug in the cable. You've got it in your included carrying case right?



2) The mouse's settings are stored on the mouse itself (very cool). If you want to reprogram them you have to plug in the cable. Again a tradeoff for bluetooth. Not bad, just something to be aware of. You can have 5 application profiles which change according to the game/app in use (or manually).



3) There are two buttons on each side. The ones on the opposite side from your thumb are not so easy to reach in the heat of action. This however allows for the ambidextrous design. By default these step through your pre-defined dpi sensitivity stages and are well designed to stay that way or use for actions you don't need as frequently.



I'm grasping to think of any real "con" against this mouse. If I had to say two things I would like changed it would be: Make it so the wheel can both ratchet and free-scroll (I got used to free scrolling when not gaming) and have the side buttons not recess quite so far as the bottom edge of the top matte part is kind of sharp.



If you are looking for a portable sized gaming mouse or have a Razer on your desktop already and want to take the experience with you pick one up!



Small update:

I just got my Kabuto mouse surface and I noticed that the on/off switch on the bottom of the mouse is a bit loose in the on position. This won't make it accidentally turn off, but it does make it jostle around a little on a surface that isn't perfectly flat (the kabuto is a bit bumpy from being rolled up in the package). This doesn't affect the mouse use or performance at all, just makes a little rattling noise when mousing. Razer Orochi Bluetooth Notebook Gaming Mouse

I purchase this mouse for my Macbook Pro (unibody).



Having tried several mice (including Apples' Magic Mouse) I can say the Razer Orochi is simply an amazing mouse.



It may be a bit small for some, but as a notebook mouse, it's perfect. The bluetooth connectivity is so smooth and precise, I have yet found the need to use the cable connection.



It's designed almost perfect. The batteries give it a perfect weight. And using it for design (I'm a heavy photoshop user) it's just pixel perfect.



The Bad: Poor Mac Drivers. The mouse werks perfect, with the exception of the additional buttons. I hope Razer will build on the mac support. Oh yeah and I could of done without the gratuitous packaging.



But other than that it's truely the best mouse I have used. Dare I say I may even replace my intel lazer mouse at home with it.



I hope this helps.

I've purchased this mouse to use with my MacBook Pro (LEOPARD and "Boot Camp" WINXP). Since Razer Orochi was advertised as working seamlessly with both Mac and Windows, it seemed like the perfect solution for my needs. After 2 weeks of daily use, I have yet to find a flaw on this mouse. It delivered on all it's promises. Here's a breakdown of my thoughts on it:



01 - AESTHETICS AND MISC

The sleek online pictures at Razer site don't make justice to this mouse. It looks much better in real-life! Couple it with Razer Kabuto Mobile Mouse Mat (Black) and your desk will never look the same. The battery top lid is magnetically attached and the USB "Wired Mode" cable is long enough to comfortably circle around my MBP. In terms of ergonomics, Orochi feels great on my big hands. I've found it very comfortable to use with both "fingertip" and "palm" grips.



02 - FIRMWARE AND DRIVERS

Let me preface this by saying that "out of the box", with ZERO drivers installed, all 7 buttons worked flawlessly with WINXP. Under LEOPARD, only the "forward and backward" left side buttons didn't work. It's worth underlining that the "Sensitivity Stage" right side buttons worked on both OSs. This means that you can cycle through the 5 preset "Sensitivity Stages" without having to install a single driver! That said, in order to tap into Orochi's full potential, it's imperative to install the latest firmware and drivers. Start by getting the latest v1.06 firmware updater (22/02/2010) from Razer's site (notice you'll need to run this under Windows). Next download and install the latest PC (v1.02, 22/10/2009) and MAC (v2.00, 03/05/2010) drivers. Besides custom macro creation, these drivers also enable full customization of every single button on the Orochi. Starting at v2.00, the MAC driver acquired the same "full features support" one finds in it's PC counterpart. Nonetheless, for reasons I'll explain below, you should avoid using the "Razer Orochi" MAC "Preference Pane".



03 - CONFIGURATION AND DISABLING ACCELERATION

Orochi's factory "buttons layout scheme" fitted my needs like a glove. I found no need to tinker with it, although the "Scroll Wheel button" could probably be put to better use. It's "Universal Scrolling" default assignment is uselessly redundant. It's not hard to envision several more productive assignments for it (copy/paste, open/close tab, etc). The only 2 settings I ended up by changing were "Polling Rate: 1000 Hz (default 500 Hz)" and "Lightning->Scroll Wheel: ON (default OFF)". I opted not to delve into the "Profiles" and "Macros" sections, even though I'll probably revisit them in a near future. The possibility of creating "per application profile" and "custom macros" are 2 of the most powerful features of this mouse. A shrewd implementation of both will rise your productivity to unprecedented heights.

In order to take full advantage of Orochi's high-precision "4000DPI 3G Laser Sensor" one must disable mouse acceleration. This allows Orochi to handle all the gliding and pointing bits natively. Assuming the "Enable Acceleration" option on "Razer Orochi Configurator" is left unchecked, there's still the OS mouse acceleration layer to deal with. On the WINXP side, one simply needs to uncheck "Enhance pointer precision" to permanently disable mouse acceleration. Unfortunately things aren't as merry on LEOPARD's side. After hours of research, the solution was finally found in the "Tired of Mac OS X's mouse acceleration?" thread at "Armagetron Forums". In order to roughly homogenize the tracking speed on both OSs, I also set the respective "speed knobs" to 50%. Here are the details for this:



WINXP

- Disable Acceleration: Control Panel->Mouse Properties->Pointer Options->Motion-> Enhance pointer precision: OFF

- Tracking speed at 50%: Control Panel->Mouse Properties->Pointer Options->Motion->Select a pointer speed: 6th notch from "Slow" (11 total).



LEOPARD

- Disable Acceleration: Check out the the "Tired of Mac OS X's mouse acceleration?" thread at "Armagetron Forums".

- Tracking speed at 50%: System Preferences->Keyboard & Mouse->Mouse->Tracking Speed: 5th notch from "Slow" (10 total).



Due to the different "knob sensitivities" of WINXP and LEOPARD, you won't get the same pixel-exact tracking speed on both OSs. Despite that, the "knob at 50%" strategy will get you pretty close. In my personal experience I've found the mouse response to be indistinguishable across WINXP and LEOPARD.



04 - IN-GAME EXPERIENCE

Once all configurations were in place, I immediately jumped to a series of thorough in-game testing with "Quake 3" and "Unreal Tournament 2004". Diligently compared "Wired" and "Wireless mode". The former had a noticeable precision advantage. Nonetheless, "Sensitivities Stages" were the clear show-stopper! Switching to the lowest "500 DPI stage" markedly increased my aim in sniper mode. Never before did I got so many "headshots" in a row! Orochi is a literal "killer mouse"! Conversely, the higher sensitivities allowed for lightning fast responses in the heat of "close proximity" battle. This mouse really gives you that extra edge every gamer is looking for.

The "off the chart" smoothness, responsiveness and accuracy observed in-game was also noticeable during day-to-day usage. It suddenly became clear why some many designers/photographers go with Orochi.

Many reviewers complained about the "sleep in 2sec + jerking" issue. You'll only find it if you actively look for it. It's simply to small of a jerk to be noticed. It will disappear the moment you stop thinking about it. This holds true for gaming and day-to-day usage.



05 - STAY AWAY FROM "RAZER OROCHI" PREFERENCE PANE

I've unearthed an uncanny behavior when accessing LEOPARD's "Razer Orochi" preference pane. The mere act of opening it caused the tracking speed to decrease dramatically! In fact, even escalating all the way up to 4000 DPI, the mouse still moved like it was at 1500 DPI! Thankfully, as long as you have access to a WINXP machine, there's a pretty straightforward way to tackle this: simply make sure to always use WINXP driver to configure Orochi. Since the "Synapse On-Board memory" allows one to port settings across OSs, there's really no reason to access LEOPARD's driver at all!



06 - LOOSE NOTES

-> Configuration of the Razer Orochi can only be performed in "Wired Mode".

-> Both WINXP and LEOPARD drivers are capable of writing to Orochi's "Synapse On-Board memory".

-> The "Sensitivity Stages" work flawlessly on both WINXP and LEOPARD. It's worth to underline the OSD only appears in "Wired Mode".

-> In "Wireless Mode (bluetooth)": Pooling rate drops to 125ms (125Hz), although you can still cycle through the different "Sensitivity Stages", the OSD will no longer appear.

-> Clean the laser lens below the Razer Orochi once a month (use soft cloth or cotton swab).



CONCLUSION

Razer Orochi is simply the best bluetooth "high-precision mouse" out there. If you're are a serious gamer/designer it's a must. Totally worth the price. 5 stars all the way! - Mouse - Razer - Orochi - Gaming Mouse'

Cordless Telephone - cordless telephone, uniden bt-905

Visit Store Now !!

I was happy to replace the NiCad battery (as originally supplied in my Uniden EZI-996) with NiMH instead, but was worried that the charger wasn't designed for NiMH chemistry. Happy to report it works fine; battery shows no signs of overheating (which is the concern when using a NiCad charger on NiMH batteries). Talk-time more than doubled with the higher capacity NiMH battery. However it will take longer for battery to reach initial full-charge, given the higher battery capacity and the trickle charger in the phone. Not sure if charger has a timer cutoff or not. If so, phone may need to be reseated in cradle to initiate a new cycle, to top-off battery (as it may not reach a full charge on a single timer-cycle). In practice, i don't worry about this, and the battery seems to charge just fine. But i tend to make short calls, and keep the phone in its charger when not in-use. YMMV. If you don't get full talk-time from the new battery, it may be your phone isn't charging the battery to full capacity, and timer-cycle cutoff could be the reason why.



Battery had no markings, so i used a felt pen to mark it with spec's for the next time i need a battery replacement. I've seen this kind of generic marking before (from a local electronics store), and perhaps this is what prompted one reviewer to think the battery was used? From all appearances, this is a new battery.



I was worried that some reviewers had indicated it did not fit their BT-905 compatible phones. The battery fit fine in my Uniden EZI-996 phone. However i did notice the shrink-wrap wrapped the cable a little bit around the corner of the battery, unlike my original NiCad BT-905 battery, creating a different exit angle for the cable. That could affect the fit inside the battery compartment. In my case, it didn't cause the cover to bulge; had it, i was prepared to cut the green shrink-wrap back a bit so the cable could exit like it did from the old battery pack. [FWIW: The cells themselves didn't appear any larger (e.g. diameter) than the NiCads in the original battery, but i didn't use a micrometer to verify this (as the battery fit my phone just fine). Strictly a visual impression.]



I am happy with this battery. Have been using it for about six weeks now. Only gave it four stars because of the total lack of markings, and cable egress issue. It should have (at a minimum) battery chemistry and capacity marked on it. This will aid in future battery replacements, and chemistry markings may be helpful to recyclers. (It's possible this info is on the cells themselves, hidden under the shrink-wrap.) Extended Cordless Phone Battery For Uniden BT-905 BT-800 NIMH 1800Mah

My wife has the habit of leaving the cordless phone off the charger, so naturally, once the old battery wouldn't hold a charge anymore, I needed a new one. This battery went into a uniden phone and it seems to be taking all of my wife's abuse in stride. Everytime I need the phone now and can find where it's hidden, there is ALWAYS enough juice left to make my calls. I am very happy with this purchase

I am still using this battery almost a year later; it works WAY better than the factory battery that came in my Uniden cordless phone.. It doesn't seem to get a "memory" even though I leave it on the stand and keep the charge maxed out. Many batteries in the past haven't faired as well in my experience!



I used to have to completely discharge the batteries on my other phones and switch batteries out so one could charge while the other one was in use. NO MORE! No more using diode lights to completely discharge the battery units anymore either!

The OEM battery (model BT-905) on my Uniden phone was rated at 600 mAh, but the label on this one says it is rated at 2000 mAh. So far, it charged up and hasn't run down in normal operation. The phone does spend most of its time in the cradle, but the original battery was down to about 15 minutes of talk time on a full charge. I expect this one to give me enough talk time to make my ears hurt, if necessary.



The battery is physically bigger than the OEM battery. Sliding the battery cover on is a challenge; even when on, it pops up a little on the side. I can live with it, but it could be a problem if you need to keep a tight battery comparment sealed.

some have said that its hard to get this battery in their phone, but it fit mine just fine. its good to know that a nimh battery works just fine in a cordless phone. its hard to believe they still sell these phones with nicad batteries. I guess thats the cordless phone makers try to make money. i checked at walmart and they wanted 15 dollars for a 600 mili amp nicad battery. so stock up on these batteries while you can. by the way heres my phone for referenceUniden DXI4286-2 2.4 GHz Extended Range Compact Dual Handset Cordless w/Caller ID/Call Waiting & Extra Handset & Charger - Uniden Bt-905 - Uniden Battery - Cordless Telephone - Battery'

With knifes, you have to use and abuse them a little before you can write a fair review based on it's performance. For most knifes of this price you wouldn't expect super high quality as you would with prominent knife makers like Benchmade or CRKT, etc. In this instance, however, this is actually a fairly well made knife. And, I will be quick to point out it is made out of the same high quality steel that most high end knifes are made from (440C). I have had no problems so far with mine in the two months that I have had it and I use it A LOT. Mostly as a utility knife but it would make an excellent all around everyday and campers knife. It has kept a sharp edge so far and the tip has not bent or been damaged even though I have used the tip to pry open things. The design is nice and comfortable to hold. The lock has worked well and consistent. I had to actually loosed the screws on mine with a torx wrench just a little so that the "quick open" finger notch worked more smoothly. With a light flick it whips open quickly now. It is super thin & the pocket clip works nicely. It's not too heavy even though it is a decent sized knife. I would rate this overall as a very useful utility and/or campers/hikers knife and would recommend it!

I bought this knife for my 14-year-old son, and he loves everything about it (and I certainly loved its low price!). But after two weeks of use, the screw on which the blade pivots loosened and fell out. Fortunately my son retrieved the part and handed all of it to me to be repaired.



If this happens to you -- and enough users on Amazon have reported problems with these screws backing out that you might want to anticipate it -- you'll need a small Torx screwdriver (size "T8" to be precise) and a bit of Loctite, or similar thread locker (available at any hardware store or auto parts store). The blade is surrounded by a nylon bushing on each side. Once you make sure that those bushings are in place, put a drop of Loctite on the screw, and use the Torx driver to tighten it to just where you would like it -- tight enough to have little or no play, but loose enough that you can extend the blade with a flick of the wrist. I'd suggest using "removable" threadlocker rather than "permanent", just in case you ever want to change the screw adjustment. And use just a drop; you don't want to foul the nylon bushings that keep the blade moving smoothly.



Incidentally, for those of you with video-game-playing kids, you might already own a T8 Torx driver, because it's the same tool that opens up an Xbox 360 controller. If you don't have one, you can get this one on Amazon for about five bucks: Silverhill Tamper Resistant Torx size T8 for Xbox 360 Controller



In spite of this annoyance -- and it definitely IS annoying -- the knife is an awesome bargain, fully meeting my son's needs.

I got this knife the other day and at first I was a bit skeptical about it. When I took it out of the box I was immediately suprised with how good it looked. Even though the grapghics are painted on, it still looks great. The blade is a good length for a tactical folder. It is a bit on the heavy side but I dont mind so owell. The blade deploys nicely with a good flick. I also purchased a S&W extreme ops(partially serrated) blade as my edc knife. Ill probably carry both and recommend both. Hope this review was helpfull.

I was pleasantly surprised when I first received this knife in the mail. It's really nice looking, extremely sharp and works great. Within two weeks of using the knife, I was missing all of the tiny screws that hold the knife together. For $5, you get what you pay for I guess. But I almost stabbed myself the first time I reached for it and it was open all of the way because the screws weren't holding it together any longer.

I have had this knife for 3 years and use it every day and only have to sharpen it once every month. It stays extremely sharp and cuts well the paint is not easily scraped off so it looks good for a long time. The only 2 problems I have with it are after about 3-4 months the screws come lose or come out so its best to take it apart and put locktite on all screws except blade adjustment screw then it works nicely. The other problem is with the finger assist on the back if the knife is on your waist or in your pocket the finger assist likes getting caught. Other than that the knife is great is is quick and easy to open even for people that are not good at flipping knives open. It is well balanced and feels nice in the hand and after like a month it gets worn in and is fast to open.

this is a great knife to have, at only [...]. i can't review this knife simply bunched up, so i separated it....



Blade: 4/5

good design, drop point blade. the steel is 440, the blade claims to be 440C, however, the edge holding durability and the cheapness makes this knife appear to me to be 440A. it has a soft fence design, non glare. the design does rub off if your cutting something hard like wood. it sharpens up nicely, but the blade gets blunt faster then better quality steels. there is a finger choil on the blade tat allows you to choke up on it, but it's pretty small, and if you have large fingers it might not be safe. the blade has a flipper and ambidextrous thumb-studs. the flipper has aggressive jimping, and the thumb studs are grooved, but not knurled or textured.



Handle 3/5

the handle is ergonomic, but the grooves are placed so that you need either large hands, or smallish hands. in between and your small finger may get jammed on the last groove.



lockup (liner lock) 4/5

the lockup is solid front to back, however, from side to side there is minuscule, almost invisible to the naked eye movement. it does have a ball bearing detent, although the ball bearing or the detent is not very strong. the ball bearing detent is a small ball bearing in the blade, and then a small dip in the handle that is not visible. it keeps the blade closed, and it helps assist in manual opening. the liner lock has a aggressive imping- almost too aggressive.



opening it 3/5

the knife opens as a onehanded manual- as in it is not assisted. i don't know why there is a flipper in the back, because to open it that way you need to accompany it with a wrist flick.



other things- it has a lanyard hole, and a nice blackened clip.



i like it, buy it.'

These little handsaws cut like lightening, hard to believe. I put one in the survival kit and you could buid a log cabin with one of these if you were dumped in the woods! Much cheaper and easier to use than some of those toy survival saws that are $50. I have an old one that has seen 10 years of abuse around the house and yard and it was getting dull. I use for trimming branches, pine trees, apricot trees, bamboo and whatever else pops up around the house, sawing a 2 x 4 or root cutting when removing a plant. When you do not want to drag out the electric power saws this is the one.

A good tool with an unbelievable ability to saw wooden material quickly. Probably not for those fine trim jobs but this thing eats wood like a beaver. Stanley 15-579 15-Inch 9 Points Per Inch SharpTooth Fast Cutting Saw

I originally purchased this STANLEY SAW to use to cut some low-hanging branches off a tree in the backyard. The saws of my dad's were all rusted and I came across this saw for around $10. Besides the limb-cuttings, I have used it to cut several small trees, to cut through a 1x4", and to cut through some scraps of luan. After all that use, the teeth have remained sharp and clean. I'm looking forward to using this saw for a long time. It's a good hand, inexpensive handsaw. - Hand Saw - Handsaws - Hand Tools - Hand Saws'

AmazonBasics High Speed HDMI Cable (9.8 Feet / 3.0 Meters) - Supports Ethernet, 3D and Audio Return (Newest Standard)

I bought a brand new 65" TV and already had a set of HDMI cables and they worked with my other TV so, I didn't think anything of it. My new TV came, I set it up and used my regular set of HDMI cables but, I wasn't getting a picture so, I was baffled. Ironically Several days earlier I had ordered a set of AmazonBasics High Definition cables just figuring that it might enhance my picture but, not realizing that I needed a High Definition HDMI cable in order for my new TV to transmit the picture.

Well, needless to say I remembered I had ordered the High Def. cables and decided to give it a try and Voila! A big beautiful picture came up on my brand new TV.

I couldn't believe the price and quality of the product and from now on I'm an "AmazonBasics" fan.

Before I purchased this HDMI cable for my Roku XDS I shopped around first at nearby Walmart and Best Buy, and read some reviews for this product. I'm a retired electrical engineer and do not believe on going overboard, spending more than adequate to get a good result on audio and video component. There are cables in the market that are priced too high to get the money out of those people who are willing to pay the price. Those people always believed that if the price is high, the product must be very good. For digital signal transmission, this HDMI cable is more than adequate. My video and audio were not degraded, and I did not notice any lost of clarity either on video or audio signal. - Hdmi Cables - 1080p - Blu-ray - Hdmi'
