This keyboard works as advertised. The only downside is that I have a rechargeable battery for my remote that sits on a cradle to recharge and I have to remove the keyboard (which is pretty snugly fitted on) each time I want to charge it. Would still purchase despite that inconvenience, however.

Got this for my wife and she was really surprised by it. We were able to use it for our SuperBowl party (made Nacho Cheese, Dirty Rice and Seafood Nacho Cheese) and was great for our guests to use. It's definitely big (maybe bigger than it looks) and takes up quite a bit of counter space, but definitely worth it if you have the counter space to spare.

Took a little while to get set-up with my Windows Media Center PC's (I purchased two remotes), but once I was able to get them set-up they worked very well. Would give 5 stars if Logitech would ever make their set-up process more intuitive and user friendly. Just doesn't seem it should be as much of a challenge as it is. It's not "too" bad...just not as user friendly is it could be.

We bought this for the son of a family friend. From what we can tell they like it. Not the highest resolution screen and you have to be tied to Amazon services to really enjoy it, but it's definitely a nice functioning tablet.

Purchased this for my wife so that we could work on fitness together. She's actually really taken to it and it has encouraged her to track her steps and even put in a little "extra" when she's close to that 10,000 step mark.

This device is great, especially for drawing (w/ the Apple Pencil)! With apps like Procreate and AstroPad, you can really let your artistic juices flow. It's the closest thing to drawing on paper that I've ever experienced.

Had to purchase a new Mag Safe Power adapter for my Macbook Air when my dog ate up my cord (for the second time). It works completely as advertised, though Apple does make their adapters a little pricey.

Honestly...didn't really use the software because I use another brand, but came free with my Mac purchase. Regardless of anything, though, would recommend to all PC users (Mac or Windows), please make sure to equip yourself with some form of anti-virus software. Macs CAN get virus', too (do not believe otherwise)

 Nikon - D7000 DSLR Camera with 18-140mm VR Lens - Black
Nikon - D7000 DSLR Camera with 18-140mm VR Lens - Black
Capture important moments with this Nikon D7000 DSLR camera, which features a 16.2-megapixel, DX-format CMOS sensor that lets you shoot crisp photos and 1080p videos. The AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-140mm lens ensures high-quality images.
 

d7000 vs d5300

I'm debating between d7000 and d5300 and don't know which one will be better. Is the d5300 really superior compare to d7000? I saw people complain of d7000 low light photos weren't sharp at all? Is it really that bad? I'm appreciate any comments or answers. Thanks.
I'm sure you've heard this before, but honestly it really depends on how you plan to use the camera. I have the D7000 and I love it! Both of these cameras are very similar, however one may be better than the other dependent upon your needs. The D5300 is a newer camera and has a higher mega-pixel count, but honestly unless you're going to be doing photos for buildboards...likely the extra megapixels won't make much of a difference. The D5300 also has the articulating screen (great for shooting video - the D7000 can be a bit of a pain when you're trying to shoot low/different angles) and the low pass filter removed (but doubt that would really make a difference to you).

The D7000 gives you 2 SD card slots (which I LOVE because I can shoot RAW and JPEG at the same time without having to convert; or just extend out my storage across 2 cards). It also has a built in focus motor (which has already saved me a little money because I was able to by less expensive lenses that didn't have the autofocus built in and use with this camera - about $100 difference on a 50mm prime lens). The extra frames per second and auto-focus points are great if you plan to shoot a lot of sports/fast action and the weather proofing doesn't hurt either.

Regarding low light performance, I've shot some very good low-light shots with the D7000 and honestly, it really comes down more to the glass (having a fast lens) then anything else. Being that both of these cameras pretty much can use all of the same lenses, any additional expense on a lens would be the same either way.

So ultimately I don't think you could go wrong with either camera, it just really depends on your needs/usage. Do you plan on shooting a lot of fast action/sports and would be doing a LOT of shooting where you don't want to change out the memory cards more frequently? Then I'd recommend the D7000. Do you plan to shoot a lot of video and need to be able to shoot at higher frame rates in 1080p and variable angles? Then the D5300 is probably the better way to go.

But if you're just looking for a good DSLR that takes good pictures, feels good in your hands and has a good range of lenses to be able to pick from? Then take your pick between the two, because you can't go wrong.

Hope this helps.
