Exceptional Audiophile SOUND

Verified Purchase:Yes
This unit blows away all other similar design/priced receivers. It's flexibility and build quality are beyond reproach. It is listenable for hours; smooth and simple. It's front dash is well thought out and extremely responsive. The back end, equally as well thought out. This sounds almost as good as a $6000 piece of equipment; and the wallet feels certainly 10 times better. For the money, it can't be beat.

Ounce of PREVENTION worth a pound of CURE

Posted by: CurtPorsche944

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a great lens filter. It does not detract from picture quality or introduce any image degradation whatsoever. Protect that huge investment in your new lens by adding on this superb filter. It is like purchasing an insurance policy for your lens, but you actually have a tangible item on the camera to protect the lens...rather than some stupid warranty or piece of paper. Wrap that rascal with this fine filter and that new lens will retain it's superb optics many more years than the same lens without it. Enjoy it and know it's a wise investment. This ounce of prevention is reasonably priced and is much less than the pound of cure it would costs to have the lens reground.....buy it today!!!

This affordable and simple cleaning system contains all one needs in order to survive a camera shoot.

This wont break the bank and the simplicity is what makes it beautiful....OK, spend more and get less if you want, but if you simply want to remove that smudge, or that dust, or make sure the lens and camera is clean, this is all you need....and of course, you will have a huge smile on your face because of the money you saved.

Paper of Plastic? NEITHER. This bag rules!!!
on September 26, 2015
Posted by: CurtPorsche944
from Waynesburg, Penna.
Verified Purchase:Yes
OK, well, I got like $5000 worth of camera equipment, lens, camera bodies, flash units, and all the other things one often sticks into a camera bag...and this compact and light weight bag holds all of the little things (filters and batteries) to the big things (camera bodies and telephoto lens). There are enough cubby holes in this back pack camera bag to put tons of odds and ends in....thank goodness, no more of those little 35mm film containers....SO ditch the old camera bag and get in the new millennium with this bag which is fashionable, mobile, easy to use...and affordable. This baby has more utility in it than a closet....and you can store almost as much stuff in it. I am an amateur photographer and probably not the best at space utilization of all my camera equipment, but this backpack bag allows me to customize each compartment exactly to the lens, body, or flash unit I am carrying. I carried an Alice Pack in the military and had to learn to put 70 pounds of equipment into a small backpack; this camera backpack makes more sense to me....BUY it and love it....and so much less nerdlike than the old camera cases of bygone days. Ditch your old camera bag along with all those little 35mm plastic film canisters and turn your big bad NIKON or CANON loose in this bag....now you look like a younger PRO!!!

Get a charge out of these batteries
on September 26, 2015
Posted by: CurtPorsche944
from Waynesburg, Penna.
Verified Purchase:Yes
SO, these batteries appear to be just like most others...except, these batteries actually deliver a long service life during high demand situations such as flash photography. A photographer only gets one chance at many shots, like at a wedding, and that flash has to be dependable...and why purchase the best flash unit and then put stupid little girly man batteries in it.??? These batteries were used in over 600 demanding flash deliveries during a recent wedding/reception I shot, and they were ready, on time, and lasted well into the night. When they start to drain, it is not sudden...they let your flash unit know, and any product will drain slowly....but some batteries die a quick and tragic death....and one loses that special photograph memory due to a corpse of AA's that could not perform. These batteries are reliable, dependable, a great value, and trust worthy to put in an expensive device such as a flagship photo flash unit. For sure, one can spend less, what a great value....but spend a little more and get a battery that is gonna please you. Enjoy and know, when you need a little charge in your life, these batteries wont let you down.

MEMORY out the WAAZOO
on September 26, 2015
Posted by: CurtPorsche944
from Waynesburg, Penna.
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is more than rocket science; how this baby does this, I don't know; but this little memory card is so reasonably priced and out performs every other type of card I have purchased, that I would buy more of them if I needed more right now. Fast, reliable, no lag, and don't worry about our environment messing it up....just keep it out of the microwave and your camera or other suitable device is gonna love this baby. It is like inviting the wicked witch of he west to your dinner party and Judy Garland shows up instead...this unit is much more than what you pay for. Solid build quality and superb design, its a Porsche, not a FIAT....push it hard and fast and see just how reliable this grunt of a memory card is. I wouldn't want it any other way. I use it in a Canon camera for high speed photography and it's the workhorse you need...not one single complaint from me....except maybe the packaging makes it difficult to get open....all those loss prevention things...other than that, I am sure all reasonable people would love this.

LIGHT up all photo opportunities
on September 26, 2015
Posted by: CurtPorsche944
from Waynesburg, Penna.
Verified Purchase:Yes
No sense in having a great CANON camera and lose all the great shots due to a built in flash unit that is good only to about 5 feet...when by using this superb flash unit, you can light up the room. This flash is suitable for the professional to the beginner and as I am a novice and much the amateur photographer, I love a flash unit that does all the computations and mental work. I took it out of the box, set it up, put it on my Canon camera, and then took over 600 flash photos at a wedding and reception. NOT ONE photo was over exposed or needed any photoshop touch ups. This unit is fast, quick to recharge, and easy on the AA batteries. I used 8 batteries for this shoot, but only because the flash unit is smart enough to let you know by slower recycling times that fresh batteries should be used. This unit can expand to remote operations, and a zillion other possibilities that once I get my PHD (like never), I may use....so, yes, it may be over kill for beginners, but it is a flash unit that will never out grow the camera technology which will follow it. Call it the FLAGSHIP Flash or whatever, this baby rocks. It is so simple to use, even I can use it.....so don't be intimidated by this flash unit, embrace it and just see how much better all of your flash photographs look when properly filled in with perfect white light. This is the only flash unit you will ever have to buy....so glad I got that off my bucket list.....while bigger is not always better, in this case it is....reach out across a reception hall and light up that candid shot....rave results from the people who see the photos who didn't even know you were there. Enjoy making yourself happy and others happy with this exceptional flash unit.

SUPERB lens in so many ways
on September 26, 2015
Posted by: CurtPorsche944
from Waynesburg, Penna.
Verified Purchase:Yes
This lens permits flexibility, ease of operation, and provides exceptional clarity and preciseness. I used this one lens to shoot over 750 shots at a wedding and reception. No more of fumbling around for other lens. It is compact and unobtrusive. It is very fast to focus and as all CANON lens are, the quality comes out in every photograph. This is the ONE lens I would recommend everyone purchase PRIOR to purchasing all the other zoom lens. This focal length permits candid photography opportunities from a distance as well as posed photos close up. FOR the money, it is the best money I have ever spent on lens, and I have several. I suggest take your CANON Camera to the store, put this lens on your camera, and shoot some photos. THIS lens sells itself!!!!

This toaster does it all but spread the butter

Posted by: CurtPorsche944

Verified Purchase:Yes
This toaster is the mack daddy of all toasters....sure, you can spend more or less, but fully functional and easy to use...simple and elegant lines lead to an expectation of the best toasted bread, bagels, and pop tarts. I like the boring, dull finish which reminds me so much of the toasters of the 1960s....I would buy another toaster just like it, but probably wont get the chance to, as this one will last forever...gotta go, time to make some toast.

What's great about it: Temp level is accurate; and toasts pops out easy to hand
What's not so great: Having to wait until breakfast to use it again!!!

Youtube videos sound phenomenal on this receiver at volume level 50 but when you watch Netflix I have to raise volume to 70. Does any one know?

The bandwidth of the signal, though audio is severely compressed to begin with, is not expanded during playback; allowing for noise and loss of signal. NETFLIX is not known for a high fidelity audio signal to begin with. The only way to dress up the audio signal would be with significant processing, such as with a DBX 3 or 4 expander; which are not available anymore.
