The Speedy, Small, Super SL1!

Verified Purchase:Yes
See that alliteration up there? Try that for a tongue twister! This DSLR is amazing! It's compact where it needs to and performs when it needs to, seriously the SL1 packs a punch. Bought this back in 2014 and I'm still using it like it was new to this day. I got rid of the kit lens and bought a 40mm for street photography and the SL1 looks like an advanced point and shoot camera. It's incredibly versatile and easy to carry. I've held my friends Canon 60Ds and 7D with some heavy lens and it feel like holding a brick. Not with this, it doesn't.
Onto the IQ. The pictures are clear and ISO also keeps up. You can push it to about 3200 with little noise on the 40mm if you're holding it really still. IQ is also related to the lens you're using so when I get my Sigma 17-50mm f2.8 that I bought from Best Buy this weekend, I can definitely give it another go around. This cameras been out for a while now, but it's still well worth it if you're looking for something light and efficient. If you wanna be walking around while traveling without feeling neck pains, this camera's for you. Pack this with either the 40mm f2.8 / 50mm f1.8 for primes or 15-85mm/ 17-55mm for zooms and you'll be good to go with the perfect walk around camera/lens setup.
Bad thing about the camera is that if you decide to put a heavier lens on it such the 17-55mm f2.8 lens from Canon (which I was going to buy, but didn't because of the price tag), the distribution of weight isn't good and you'll be forced to hold the lens to balance since the said lens will be ~600g and this is ~400g.
Pros
- Really compact and easy to carry around when traveling
- Battery lasts really long
- Auto focus system is quick

Cons
- Could have better sensor since Canon bumped up the 18 mp to 24, but this camera is from 2013 so what can you do.
- When equipped with heavier lenses, the balance can be off putting and will cause lopsidedness.
- The grip on the right side could be a little more protruding.

Microsoft Special Edition Camouflage Wireless Controller: The camouflage design that mimics woodland and battlefield environments allows you to immerse yourself in covert Xbox 360 gameplay. Because when you look the part, you can play the part.

Great controller and imho, somewhat better X1

Verified Purchase:Yes
The buttons on these are getting soft, but it's been about two years since I had them. Good thing, because I don't play Xbox 360 as much anymore after getting my PS4. When I did use them however, the ergonomics of the controller are so comfortable and feels sooo good to hold that it feels like it becomes an extension of your hand! AND THIS IS COMING FROM A PLAYSTATION FAN. I guess this is why Sony had to change their controller design after the PS3; the PS2/PS3 controllers just didn't fit into the hand and be cradled the same way these controllers could. I honestly think the X1 controller took a step backwards in terms of feel, but hey, who am I to say? *shrugs*
Pros
- Great ergonomics!
- Having joystick on top left is a lot more comfortable than having them symmetrical like PS controllers.
- The light up on the X is cool lol

Great blacks when it's not running out...
on December 29, 2015
Posted by: MHein17
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've had my Canon MG5220 printer for the longest now and it's still chugging along great. The ink that the printer uses is awesome also. The blacks are strong and the colors are vivid. More importantly, the presentation of color from the screen to the photo is spot on so I can expect my photos to come out looking like they do on my monitor. There's only one downside... They don't last long at all. When I print a few photos (like only two or three) and 10 or so 2-3 pages documents, it's already down 40%. I wish the cartridges were a little bigger so that way I wouldn't have to keep buying so often, but that's how Canon gets my money and time, I guess. Well, at least I can price match them on BestBuy from Amazon.
Pros
- Strong blacks
- Not so expensive
- Easy to price match

Quality Trimmer
on December 29, 2015
Posted by: MHein17
Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought this Trimmer back in Feb 2014, and it's still holding up strong. When you hold the trimmer, you can feel it's a quality product with how how much heft it has. The quick charge function also works really well and has saved me quite a few mornings before work where i looked like caveman. The blades have not dulled either. What Wahl says about their blades is true; still sharp as ever and there're no pulls when I'm trimming. All in all, a great product.
Pros:
- Premium feel with metal body and quality blades
- Quick charge saves you in a jam
- Battery lasts a really long time even after two years
