This SanDisk Pixtor Advanced memory card fits in most microSDHC card slots and comes with an adapter for use in most SD, SDHC and SDXC card slots. The Class 10 speed lets you capture 1080p, 3D or 4K video.

One of only 3 cards on market that support 4k
on December 19, 2014
Posted by: JPCain
from Maplewood, NJ
I primarily purchased this because the Samsung Pro I purchased in advance of my Go Pro was delayed in getting to my house and I didn't want to lose a day with my new purchase. The SanDisk has held its own against the Samsung so far in read/write, my main complaint is it cost almost as much as the Samsung which had double the capacity. I would only recommend spending the extra coin on these models if you really need the extra I/O as the price per GB is much lower on UHS-1 cards.

4k on the cheap
on December 19, 2014
Posted by: JPCain
from Maplewood, NJ
My primary interest in this camera was its 4k capabilities which every other manufacturer keeps in the 1k+ mark. While I have used this for time lapse and other tricks that this camera integrates perfectly, my main use is aerial photography. This form factor makes things possible that were out of reach for the ordinary consumer. Just make sure you have plenty of fast microSDs on hand (only the newest ones will support the 60+ Mb/s bitrate the camera writes) and your computer will need to be the latest gen Intel (Haswell i4xxx series) with 4k hardware acceleration support and a very powerful graphics card from at least the last two years. I can verify that if you try it on any other computing platform it will fail to play back properly and forget about using the GoPro software for Cineform conversion (even on my beefy machine it takes hours sometimes). The free downloadable software is a hug incentive over others as it keeps the high 10bit rate necessary for 4k as well as a free fisheye removal support. All this justifies the seemingly high price tag for a consumer action camera and only Best Buy could give me a 10% discount on the day of its release. If you're in the market, I definitely would advise you to stop by Best Buy and check it out for yourself.

iPad® Air is 20 percent thinner1 and weighs just one pound, so it feels unbelievably light in your hand. It comes with a 9.7-inch Retina display, the A7 chip with M7 motion coprocessor, ultrafast wireless, powerful apps, and up to 10 hours of battery life.2 And over 475,000 apps in the App Store are just a tap away.3

Just as good a year later
on December 19, 2014
Posted by: JPCain

A year after its release this tablet still holds its power. While an iPad Air 2 is more powerful with 50+% processing power and 2 GB RAM vs 1 GB for the price differential is well worth it. The wifi upgrade is hardly noticeable between the two and I could not tell the difference in weight. My wife's primary complaint about the 4th gen iPad was weight and this makes up for it in spades. The simplicity of this device is why I stick with Apple devices.

iPad® mini 2 has a stunning 7.9-inch Retina display with over 3.1 million pixels. It also comes with the A7 chip with 64-bit architecture, ultrafast wireless, iSight and FaceTime HD cameras, powerful apps, and up to 10 hours of battery life.1 Yet it still fits easily in one hand.

The power of the iPad Air in a small form factor
on December 19, 2014
Posted by: JPCain
from Maplewood, NJ
I wanted to purchase the Retina mini last year when it debuted but did not want to pay the premium and had just got an iPad 4th gen the previous year. The purchase was definitely worth the wait as the differences between the iPad mini 2 and 3 are minisucle and the price is perfect! I've compared this to my wife's Air I just upgraded as well and the differences while noticeable are not enough for what I use it for: web surfing, mail, and video. The overall simplicity is why I stick with Apple when there are cheaper Android tablets.

Go for classic or gourmet coffee with this De'Longhi manual espresso machine. Its dual-function filter holder is compatible with single-serve pods and ground coffee for versatility, and the milk frother lets you enjoy cappuccino and macchiato. The self-priming operation of this De'Longhi manual espresso machine save you time in coffee preparation.

This is a great entry level unit

from Maplewood, NJ
Not sure why people gave this such bad reviews at Best Buy, but if one views other websites the overall average is much higher. I got this when it was on sale with a ton of rewards points thrown in so I got it for an even better price point, but it has been running solidly for a year now. Perhaps the other reviewers did not follow the maintenance instructions or do not have the overall experience I have with espresso machines, but the pumps are solid, the build quality is good and cleanup is easy as pie.

This album to me defines the White Stripes, in its raw beauty. I don't think they get any better than this.

Favorite Black Sabbath album
on September 26, 2014

Probably not every fan's opinion but this album takes the cake for me. Symptom of the Universe, Megalomania, and my favorite The Writ make this a powerhouse of Sabbath history.

Do you have for sale the surf edition or only the standard?

I only saw Standard on sale at every Best Buy I went to but they do sell the floaty. Not sure if there is a difference with 4 Black. Some of the accessories are different for 3+ and 4.
