Wonderful tracker, the one I have been waiting for
on February 4, 2015

Hi all,
This is my first activity tracker and I am in love with it!
I have been holding out for the right one and I can confidently say this one was worth the wait! I wanted something to track my daily activities and my heart rate while having great battery life; this fits the bill.
Pros:
-heart rate works great and is accurate
battery life is great for me is lasting up to 4 to 5 days before needing a charge
-bluetooth syncs to my iPhone where I can look at all details/goals/etc
-receives alerts that shows text messages and incoming calls
-tracks sleep amazingly well (is accurate within a couple of minutes of when I go to sleep and when I wake up) and also shows you how many times you were restless by occurrences and length of time
-tracks steps, stairs, distance, and calories really well too
-comfortable to wear
-easy to use and touchscreen works well to swipe through things
-customizable activities to what you want to do

Cons:
-None really
-If I was going to be super picky, when using GPS on the tracker battery life goes from 4 to 5 days down to 5ish hours, but that is expected and you can't have it all

I wear this tracker non stop. I don't find it too bulky like some others have stated. Only time I take it off is to charge when I jump in the shower and get ready for the day. In my opinion there is nothing better at this time and well worth the wait for me.

What an amazing camera, It just WON Camera of Year
on January 2, 2015
Posted by: Pzl1nz

Hi all,
I am absolutely amazed with this camera and the pictures this beast takes! I wanted to upgrade to FF, coming from a Nikon D7000. The D810 was out of my price range and I didn't want a 36MP camera eating up hard drive space. The D610 seemed good but I wanted more features. Enter the D750... To me this is essentially a D810 (technology) in a smaller, lighter body, with picture sizes that are much more manageable at a competitive price range.
I read tons of info before buying and the features that drew me in were low light performance, new focus system, dynamic range, high ISO performance. I bought this from my local BestBuy who ordered it for me on their website, it was delivered in 3 days. Got it home, customized a few things in the menu, and started shooting. This camera blows away my expectations. As of right now I have paired this body to a Nikon 50mm 1.8D and a Nikon 70-200 2.8 VRII. Pictures are stunning. I also have some crop frame lenses for my D7000 that will work but the sensor crops down photos on this camera and you are then losing all of your full frame resolution. I think I am going after the Nikon 28-300 for an all around carry lens and the16-35 for some wide end shooting.
It just does everything so well. I really have yet to see something it is doing that I don't like, which is an absolute first for me on any camera. I am keeping the D7000 as a backup camera and for long reach wildlife shots where I can get the crop frame benefit of longer effective reach.
In addition if I let the wife shoot it, it does a great job in the auto modes (better IQ and getting the shot you think you want) and this makes it fun for her (novice) to pick up the camera and have confidence in the pictures she is taking. It is funny to see how less scared/intimidated she is of using a DSLR. There is no fuss, just put in P or Auto and the camera does the rest beautifully.
Read here is you choose.

I have a 2004 suburban
I,am looking for a radio with blue tooth and ipod capabilitys Oh yah and it need to rock the Bose speakers What do you sugest
I just hooked up a Pioneer NEX 8000 and it is awesome!
It is a NAV system type radio with all the options but the cool thing is that is does Carplay (from Apple) straight out of the box and it works awesome!
I truly couldn't be happier!
I also have a Bose system in my truck and please be sure to get the PAC interface for your truck, it truly works better than the other ones out their (Metra) from everything I have read and experienced.

New system for my truck
I need to replace the factory installed stereo and speakers in my 2002 chevy silverado 1500. What is compatible? I want sat radio and hands free for sure. I will also need to have it all installed.
I just put in a Pioneer AVIC NEX 8000 in my Silverado and couldn't be happier.
For what you want I would look either at the Pioneer NEX or the Kenwood stuff.
My truck had the Bose system so I went with a Metra harness and kept my factory speakers and it truly sounds great and all works as I expect it to!
Good luck.

Im looking to buy a good camera as i am having my first child, any suggestions?
what brand and type? I have about 1000.00 dollars to spend.
Easy one, I think.
Buy a Nikon D5300 ($649) or a D7100 ($899), then buy yourself a Nikon 50mm f/1.8G ($219) or a Nikon 35mm f/1.8G ($199) and take professional looking pictures with ease!
When you get your camera, set it to A mode (Aperture mode) and select the largest aperture of 1.8 with the roller wheel on the camera (1.8 on either lens above) and you will be amazed at your results. Put in in Auto mode or P mode for everything else and enjoy!
The D7100 has a few more shooting options (geared more to semi-professional) than the D5300 but they will both take absolutely beautiful pictures.

Nikon or Cannon - with comparable items--- which is better?
Depends what you want to do. They are both excellent and really comes down to personal preference. I prefer Nikon. It is what works best for what I want to do and what I expect out of my camera.
You need to look at lens selection, feature sets of the cameras, then hold each one you are comparing and play around with each to see what works best for you.
I personally prefer Nikon for their ability to nail picture color more accurately (in my opinion), their flash system (Canon has been catching up though), their metering, their low light noise, etc. I also like their menu system better than Canon but this is probably related to what you grew up with.
Canon has a few more lens options than Nikon and some of their autofocus systems are a smidge better than on Nikon (some select models only).
You won't go wrong either way (Canon or Nikon) Whatever you buy, you should plan to keep for a while. Lenses are where you need to make your investment, the camera body is what changes every few years as newer and better technology is developed and implemented.
I have both a D7100 and a D750 and they are amazing cameras in their own way. I have looked at Canon (5DmkIII) out of interest but they don't offer anything compelling for me to switch systems, plus I have been more than happy with Nikon.
A Nikon or Canon with their 50 f/1.8 lens is a great way to start and a killer little combo that will be hard to beat. To zoom, you simply walk closer or father away. Then look for a lens that is wide and then for one that is long (like a 70 to 300 f/3.5:5.6 or if money no object 70-200 f/2.8).
You will see a lot of wedding/portrait people shooting Nikon and a lot of landscape/sports people shooting Canon. But they both do everything pretty well.

is their a way to connect between camera & cell phone
Yes. The camera generates its own wifi network and Nikon has an app for your phone (iPhone and Android I believe) that you can send pictures from camera to and even control the camera remotely with a live view of camera on your phone. It is pretty cool and I find it useful.

What camera to buy?
My mother is looking for a camera so that she can sell some things on e-bay. She has never used a digital camera, so it needs to be easy to use, and also inexpensive (under $100), but decent enough to take a good picture for e-bay. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Honestly, for eBay photos anything will work well including the camera on cell phones now days...
Look for what ever fits in your budget. My opinion is that you are better off with Nikon or Canon in the long run...

Toddler and Point & Shoot
I have a nikon that I have loved for far too long. Its pretty well and dead. I am borrowing my mom's D100 SLR which I love, but its just TOO big and probably too much camera for me. I was looking at the S8000...I really just need a point and shoot that takes good pictures and has a fast shutter speed, as my daughter is quick! Any ideas? I really liked the quality of my Nikon (as compared to friends Cannons).
Nikon S8100. You will love it!
It has a new CMOS sensor that will give you better low light performance which means more photos without needing a flash.

The digital zoom function on my Sony Cyber-Shot camera is broken again.
The zoom lens/function on my Cyber-Shot camera is stuck and will not go in and out to focus/zoom. I am convinced this problem is in the design or materials used to perform this function. I've had the same problem before and the Best Buy warranty (I purchased when new) covered the repairs. Now my warranty is expired. I purposely purchase "SONY" products to avoid problems such as this. What can I do to solve the problem? Is this a "RECALL" problem?
You are stuck! Sony won't do anything for you. The reality is that Sony is not the best any more at anything. Sell your camera on eBay as a parts camera that works but has an issue and you will get a few bucks out of it. Then go buy yourself a Nikon or Canon camera and start taking good pictures.
Is there any one thing that Sony leads at today? With the exception of BluRay, I can't think of one
For cameras: Nikon and Canon
For TVs: Samsung and Vizio
For Video Game: Xbox360
Computers: Asus, Toshiba (Sony is about dead last in this market now)
