This drive looks great in an office setting, and is reliable, with great speeds. It's not a performance hard drive, but it's great for expanding storage and backups.

As a listener of Linkin Park since Hybrid Theory, this is my favorite album thus far! It's great to see artistry and artistic changes over time. LP moves to new sounds every album while retaining the essence of what makes them who they are.

Owning all the major platforms I can say that I was totally surprised at how wrong I was about the Switch. The Switch, in essence, is the "Un-Console" of the Big Three. In no way will it compare to the latest offerings from Xbox or PlayStation, it does best complimenting those consoles. Zelda is a masterpiece, and more great games will be coming. As a main console, it's harder to recommend due to a lack of features and games. As a second or third console, it's truly amazing. It's so nice to be able to take the console with you -- even if that is just to a different room in your house.

This game is a fantastic graphical showcase game for the PlayStation 4. As someone who prefers playing on Xbox platforms, this is a must-play for those who love games. It's a great open world RPG that, even with minor flaws, is one of the best experiences of 2017.

Having previously written Nintendo off, I took a chance and got the Switch along with Zelda -- and it feels great to be back. Zelda is open world this time around, and it truly just works, feels right, and keeps me wanting to play when I get the free time. A must own on Switch!

This controller, while ultimately designed for the enthusiast gamer, is a great addition for any fan. While nothing on it is 'required' for a good gaming experience, the controller is a fantastic upgrade. To me, the best thing about it is the added weight from the higher quality components, and the feel of the thumb sticks (which are much smoother given their metal construction. The controller doesn't flex like the standard Xbox/PlayStation controllers tend to, and the back paddles are an amazing addition to adding more customization in games!

These gift cards can be a great way to purchase digital content via the Xbox Live Store. It would be nice if there was a camera utility in the Smart Glass app that allowed users to take a photo of the code for submission, like the iTunes app does.

I bought this TV unexpectedly. I went in looking for a replacement to my 25.5" that I used to play games on. I purchased this TV as an open box item, but would fully recommended new as well. You simply cannot beat the value and features for the price in this TV. Sure, there may be curved OLED panels available, But in terms for quality and performance at this price or even a close price this TV cannot be matched. If you look at other reviews online you will find that this is just about the best TV in its class, and outperforms TVs in higher classes. One feature that may be overlooked, but was important to me, is that the TV supports a low input lag for gaming. This was the main reason that I bought this TV, as I was looking for a new TV for gaming. This TV will also be useful for the next generation of game consoles as one of the HDMI ports allows for 4K/60p video.

Scan all your prints, negatives and slides quickly and efficiently. Complete with film holdersit handles just about any size and format, including 35 mm filmstrips, mounted slides and full panoramic medium format film.
 

Do I need a CD drive to set up the scanner and use it? I have a newer iMac with no way to read disks.

I also use an iMac with no disc drive. You can download the Epson software from their site. Make sure you're up to date on macOS and locate the scanner on their site to get the right software version. The software works on macOS 10.13.x, though it is SUPER old.

do scanned photos go to a memory card?

There is no memory card slot on the scanner. It scans to a save location of your choice on your connected computer. I have it save to the desktop, in a folder for each project on my Mac.

Auto Cropping feature: If I place 4 photos on the scanner, will it crop and save all 4 as individual files? or is this limited to 1 file?

In my experience when scanning film negatives, it auto-dectects different images. I have not tried four separate documents/prints at once.

Do I have to reformat this drive to use it with a iMac?

Yes. It's very easy to do through the Disk Utility application on your iMac (I use an iMac). Search how to do it, and it will probably take 2 minutes.

Nikon - AF-S NIKKOR 58mm f/1.4G Standard Lens - Black
Snap sharp, vibrant photos with your F-mount-equipped Nikon DSLR cameras using this Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 2210 prime lens, which features a Silent Wave Motor for accurate, high-speed autofocus. Nano Crystal Coating ensures sharp, clear pictures.
 

Why is this $1599?

This is a premium lens from Nikon, and is priced as such. The lens was designed with a special aesthetic in mind, making very 'dream-like' images, and rending the subject in a very three-dimensional way. It's a boutique lens, and is priced as such. I use this lens and love it, and own the Nikon 50mm f/1.4G, which is also a great lens.
