Expand your photography and videography potential with this 35mm Canon Macro lens. Its light weight and compact form make it an easy carry-along companion, while the 0.5x magnification ratio and five stops of image stabilization ensure versatility. This Canon Macro lens has a control ring on its barrel for simple adjustments to settings.

This 35mm compact lens really does it all. Great, and I mean great image stabilization (IS), big 1.8 aperture and nice dreamy bokeh (out of focus backgrounds), macro-capable (not true macro, but really close), and Canon's super smooth (and super quiet) STM focusing! The focal length of 35mm is surprisingly handy for just about everything: Just wide enough for street photography, nature, etc but can get close enough for portraiture. You can "zoom with your feet" to cover an effective range of about 28-50mm or so and you can cover much more than that by cropping in Lightroom or whichever app you use for photo editing. This lens is seriously sharp (which helps if your cropping) and optically near perfect. Canon camera's correct for distortion in the camera body also. I'm done with bulky, heavy cameras with ridiculously heavy zoom lenses! The only lens that this doesn't replace is a tele-zoom. I would much rather use this than a 24-70mm. It's sharper, lighter (probably 1/4 the weight) and brighter (max f-stop) than any zoom in this range. I love the programmable ring which I set to control the aperture! Great build quality with a metal lens mount-just because it's light, doesn't mean it feels cheap. I have this lens mounted on the Canon EOS RP and from that combo, I get great full-frame stills with great color, sharpness, bokeh and ditto for the video with this lens' silent STM focusing and Canons magical Dual Pixel Autofocus (DPAF). It's almost eery how the camera/lens focuses on the right stuff at the right time.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This tiny DSLR is just a little chunkier than a small mirrorless camera and gives some unique alternatives. You can shoot it as a DSLR with a nice, clear optical viewfinder with 9 focusing points or you can shoot it as a "mirrorless" camera using the back screen which gives you many more focus point, eye AF and Canon's legendary Dual Pixel Auto Focus that smoothly acquires focus without hunting back and forth. For video people, you can clean HDMI output to an external recorder and get 4:2:2 10 bit at 4k! The new Canon 90D doesn't have this feature according to the specs. The battery life is unbelievably good and will outlast ANY mirrorless camera by far. THE BAD: 4K looks great but is not very flexible in as much as you have only 23.98P and no DPAF! Rolling shutter is pretty bad in 4K. Also, 4K has an additional crop so you'll really need a wide lens for it to be useable. This camera has two levels of electronic image stabilization which works with Canon's optically stabilized lens but crops your video further still! The sensor is really clean and almost free of noise at 6400 ISO and is very useable up to 12,800 with level one high ISO noise reduction turned on. I didn't see any improvement from 1,2, or 3 in terms of in-camera NR. The SL3 has a setting that makes the camera take 4 photos every time you press the shutter which it samples and then produces a single noise-free The creative filters are actually really handy and in some cases can provide a more interesting photo than even the most experienced photographer could take. It has focus-peaking for manual focus or focus-pulling and the autofocus on the back screen does an incredible job following faces or whatever your subject is, keeping them in focus.

The Hero7 Black is the top in the Her07 serious for it's Hypersmooth Video Stabilization available even at 4k/60p! Toss your gimbal in the recycle bin! It also takes surprisingly great still photos and the time lapses are breath taking!

This charger has a USB-C connection and comes with a battery. There're two large status lights on top to indicate the charge status for each of the two batteries. These Gopro batteries last over an hour of continuous use even in the cold.

This scanner comes with holders for 34mm, slides and 120 film. It of course can scan up to 8x10 sheet film since it’s a flatbed. I prefer a dedicated 35mm scanner for for smaller film formats because the can pull more detail from the smaller frames.

Set the mood in your home via music with these Klipsch speakers. The wood-grain vinyl exterior imparts a touch of sophisticated elegance to a room, while the Tractrix Horn technology provides clear, vibrant and rich musical tones. The titanium tweeter on these Klipsch speakers dampens high-frequencies to facilitate crisp, natural sound.
 

Is the tweeter an actual horn or is it just window dressing?

I recently purchased a Blue Yeti microphone and a Logitech C920s webcam. Can I plug these devices into this hub for live streaming and Zoom meetings?

I don't see why not.You'll have to select which mic to use since the webcam also has a mic built in.

Get more room with purposeful storage spaces for the items you use most in this french door refrigerator with large freezer. Features such as the platter pocket, In-Door-Ice storage, LED lights and a deli drawer make your family's favorites easy to fit and find. This ENERGY STAR refrigerator also has a fingerprint-resistant exterior that resists smudges and easily wipes clean.
 

How does this model differ from the WRF767SDHZ?

It has a second icemaker in the freezer drawer. You can upgrade the less expensive one later (I was told, so please confirm).
