Great for a 6-7 year old.

Bought this as a Christmas present for a 6 year old (almost 7). Although it has a slower processor than some comparative models, it's fast enough for everything he runs on it, including online schoolwork. He's able to use it for learning games, not-so-learning games, and light internet browsing. We use another app from Google Play to lock down the internet to only a few select sites. For something he'll outgrow in a year or two (or drop and break), this was definitely a cost-effective introduction to tablets for him.

It's what I expected

I haven't owned anything in the Madden series since the Sega Genesis days. That said, this review comes at the game without having any preconceived notions - that is, I've read endless reviews about how something was better in an older version, or better on a different console, etc. For my purposes, I wanted to get back into Madden on the PS3 and I expected good graphics, good dialogue, and good gameplay. On those counts, Madden 25 delivered. I expected a quality football game and that's what I got. I can't speak for what could have or should have been better - all I can say is the game is fun and enjoyable. That, I think, says it all if you're looking to get into Madden again.

Los Santos: a sprawling sun-soaked metropolis full of self-help gurus, starlets and fading celebrities, once the envy of the Western world, now struggling to stay afloat in an era of economic uncertainty and cheap reality TV. Amidst the turmoil, three very different criminals plot their own chances of survival and success: Franklin, a former street gangster, now looking for real opportunities and serious money; Michael, a professional ex-con whose retirement is a lot less rosy than he hoped it would be; and Trevor, a violent maniac driven by the chance of a cheap high and the next big score. Running out of options, the crew risks everything in a series of daring and dangerous heists that could set them up for life.Grand Theft Auto V is the largest and most ambitious game Rockstar Games has yet created and takes full advantage of every ounce of processing power available in the current generation of consoles. In order to provide the best possible experience for such a massive and detailed world, the game will have installation requirements on the PlayStation 3 system. Grand Theft Auto V ships on one disc and will install content as soon as you insert the game. The install is roughly 8GB, and players will be able to play as soon as the install is complete.

The best yet, and I've played since the beginning

After seeing and playing a bit of GTA5 on a friend's system, I went right out and bought a PS3 just for this game. The dialogue is incredible and the attention to detail in the graphics are unbelievable. If you've enjoyed the past entries in this franchise, I can't recommend this enough. There's so much to do in the game world that I'll occasionally just spend some time sightseeing, golfing, or surfing the in-game internet. It's an all-around great experience (but not recommended for kids...or with kids in the house...or anything having to do with kids - this is a game for well-adjusted adults.

Worked to extend computer surround speakers

I needed these cables to extend my computer's speakers. Since it's not a high-end home theater system, I can't say anything specific about the quality of the sound. It sounded like I expected it to with no obvious shortcomings, so these cables did their job.

Solid, but maybe too specialized

Verified Purchase:Yes
If you're going to be hand-holding a camera for an extended period of shooting, this wrap works well. I have medium-sized hands and it fit well. I kept my strap a little loose in order to operate the control wheels - too tight and they're hard to reach.
If you plan on hand-holding the camera and not putting it down for an extended period, this is a solid strap. However, if you're taking photos intermittently, picking up the camera and putting it down, this might not be the strap you need. Because of the attachment screw, the camera won't rest on its base. Unfortunately, this is common with most straps that attach to the tripod mount. Again, if you're carrying it full time, the strap works very well.

All I need is a fast SD card that won't lose my photos. After a month of regular use, this one hasn't failed me yet. That's about all I can offer in terms of review - but the sale price was unbeatable.

Solid, fast, and (generally) easy to use

Fifteen years ago, I was an SLR enthusiast. The only problem I found was lugging the darn thing around everywhere I wanted to take photos. Sightseeing on vacation is one thing, but sometimes you want to eat at a restaurant or hike a trail. If you leave the camera behind, you might end up missing a photo that would capture a great memory. When digital cameras became pocketable and higher quality, I used them exclusively - or my phone, of course.
I finally decided to take the plunge back into the (D)SLR waters again and couldn't be happier with the Nikon. Even with old, non-Nikon lenses, the photos are amazingly sharp. Working with the RAW-format files is a dream. The ability to correct under or over-exposed photos in RAW is something incredible. Sure, avoiding operator error would probably help, but sometimes there's only one chance to get the shot and this camera has the oomph to get it - and allow you to correct it in post-processing.
It's fast, intuitive, and - although easy to use - certainly has features that have a bit of a learning curve. However, at the end of the day it's a matter of shutter speed, aperture, and light hitting the sensor. At that basic level, this camera has been great (and in use regularly for about month now). Compared side-by-side with a comparable competitor, you win some feature battles and lose others. What you trade off is your preference.
Bottom line: I'm happy with it. We'll see how it fares on a vacation where a good point-and-shoot would have normally accompanied me. For those shots at the park, the first day of school, or a foggy morning walk, I'm glad to have it with me to capture the moment.

What's great about it: For now, it's the top of Nikon's DX format line
What's not so great: It doesn't have everything - there are minor trade-offs between it and a comparable Canon.
