Living with a 5D after a 20D

Advantages: Full frame sensor, very high resolution, excellent operation
Disadvantages: Costs double the price of a 30D, hidden extra costs

...other AF illuminator, the 5D sometimes struggles to focus in low light. I also have a 430EX and 580EX flash and both of these provide excellent red LED AF illuminators which usually allow the 5D to focus quickly and accurately in dark places. Buying one of these "accessories" is a must - after all the 5D has no flash at all so you will quickly feel the need to shell out the extra £185 - £200 for a 430EX flash - quite a big hidden cost on what is already an expensive pro-sumer camera body (more than double the cost of a 20D). Weight - the first thing you notice about the 5D is that it's a bit heavier than the 20D. Not much heavier but if you walk around all day with it you'll notice. Add to that the not insubstantial weight of one of the flash units and you're looking at a camera package that weighs over 1.2kg... and that's before you...

Review of Canon EOS 5D

canon 5d---- good or bad

Advantages: full frame
Disadvantages: new cameras have better features

...i have a canon 5d and has 12.8 mp full frame cmos sensor,9 points af, digic 2 processor, records raw/jpegs, compact magnesium alloy body etc. If you don't know the difference between full frame and cropped frame is that the full frame standard size is 35mm the cropped frame can range from sizes but smaller than 35mm. Obviously there new cameras that have new feature but if you want the cheapest camera that has good pro quality and also light and discreet this is the 1. I will say that it lacks in a few thing that the new cameras have like live view, auto sensor cleaning, hd video recorder, digic 4 processor, AF micro adjustment, quick control screen, built in flash, water dust resistance well better sealing....

Technics 1200 / 1210 Mk2

Advantages: same turntable at home as in the clubs
Disadvantages: heavy

...Technics 1200 / 1210 what more can you say its the number one DJ turntable on the planet. For years and years when i was younger just geting in to Djing all i wanted was a pair of technics. after a few years with other direct drive decks i finally saved enough money to buy a pair i of technics, i bought the SL1200Mk2 because they were silver i did not like the brown of the 1210 much. i have read around and talked to people and aparently the only difference between the 1200 and the 1210 is the colour. I set up my new 1200s and got the tunes out. Wow what a turntable, after years of trying out all other types of direct drive turntables i could instantly see and feel the difference in build quality. the technics weight alot compared to any other turntable, this is because the bottom black base you see is not made of cheap moulded...

Review of Hercules DJ Console Mk2

Renault Clio dCi Dynamique!!

Advantages: Very Economical and stylish
Disadvantages: None

...Wow!! What a excellent little car !? I have just passed my driving test, so after many months? if not years of scrimping and scraping so that I could save up for a car I went out and bought the first car that I like the look of. And I choose this beauty! (I know that was foolish as I should have done my research but that gut instinct was correct and I'm pleased with my choice.) The car I choose was a Renault Clio Dynamique (100) 1.5 dCi Its features: Standard Renault alloy wheels Remote central locking Powered steering Air bags ABS brakes Along with the standard spec of a Renault Clio but ? what sets the Dynamique version apart from others is its sports styling; It has 15-inch alloy wheels, a rear spoiler, front foglamps and sports seats. Automatic headlamps and rain-sensing wipers as standard...

Review of Renault Clio 1.5 dCi

Va Va Voom..

Advantages: Everything about the car is quality
Disadvantages: None

...months old and still in very good condition. The model we bought was the 1.5 dCi 65, and it was in the Dynamique trim. The car was finished in a lovely metallic gold, with alloy wheels. We chose the diesel especially because we wanted an economical car that was fun and powerful to drive, and let me assure you, the Clio more than lives up to this! Exterior ------- The Renault Clio is a standard sized small car, designed for running around small distances with ease. Its dimensions are 3812mm long, 1911mm wide and 1417mm high. These small dimensions are very good for town traffic, making it very suitable for grabbing that list small parking space in the car park. However, these small dimensions are like an illusion, as the car is very spacious inside. There is ample headroom for me, even though I?m nearly 6 foot tall, and legroom is more...

Belkin F5D 7632-4 Wireless Rouer

Advantages: When it works, it is brilliant!
Disadvantages: When it doesn't , it inspires computer rage!!!!

...the Belkin F5D 7632-4. It was in my price range and offered four cable (ethernet connections) and the wireless capability too. I would imagine that these qualities might draw you to the same conclusion. So off you trot , cash in hand to buy one from the nearest store. You ask a few questions from the salesperson, who tells you something of which you have no comprehension, but sounds convincing! Satisfied that you have listened to an expert. You toddle off home, eagerly anticipating your new internet adventure. This where your troubles begin!! Because when you set up your new machine, there is a host of information you need to know and understand. If you are technology minded, this is easy peasy ! However if you are not , it's about as practical as teaching nuclear physics to a window cleaner! ( no offence intended) You set up your...

VW Mk2 Golf GTi

Advantages: Reliable classic. Powerful, agile and still looks great.
Disadvantages: Bland interior.

...The Mk2 Golf GTi is an iconic eighties hatchback. The model I have been driving for the last year is an 1989 8 valve GTi and is a car that has been a pleasure to own and drive. The handling is remarkably deft and capable considering the age of the car and handles as well as, if not better than, many modern hatchbacks. The car is also surprisingly powerful, with far greater acceleration than than many of the sporty new little corsas and clios etc. Most of these Golfs now have very high mileage but that is famously not much of a problem with these cars, many of which have been able to pick up an astronomical mileage. My own has covered nearly 100,000 miles which is actually quite low compared to most mk2 golfs around. The cons of this car for me have been a problem with the gear linkage that is apparently very commen with the mark...

Review of Volkswagen Golf II GTI

MK2 Golf GTI's - Built to last!

Advantages: Fast, Solid, Reliable, Built to last, Cheap for Parts now
Disadvantages: Getting old, hard to find a perfect example

...Well what can I say about the MK2 Golf? especially the GTI model imparticular? I have owned 11 MK2's with 7 of them being the GTI model. They are very solid, realiable and will run forever! Not only being very quick, they are excellent to 'mod'. There are many things that you can do to a GTI to suit your style, add rims, adjustable suspensions or even VR6 conversions. If you are interested in this, there are many enthusiast clubs along with shows up and down the country. Be careful when buying your golf as some may have been thrashed, sills may be rusted or clutches may be on there way out. As when buying any car, check all points thoroughly and take a look at a few. Although parts may not be expensive, problems that may exist may end up costing $$$ (e.g. if the bottom of the door is shot, you may need to get another door...
