Review: Canon EOS Rebel Digital SLR

I am very big on photography, that is why I do not use a point and shoot like I used to, now I use a digital SLR. In fact the first ever digital SLR, the Canon EOS Rebel. Now to get onto the review. To start out with a simple rating:

4.5/5

The only thing that I do not like about it is that it does not have a live feed (shows what your taking a picture of on a screen. Other than that I would give it a 5/5. It comes with a 18-55 mm lens, I got a UV filter, which was a really good buy. One thing I like about it over the other SLRs I used was the DoF Preview (Depth of Field). It is a button that you can press on the left side of the zoom lens and it will give you a DoF preview in the viewfinder. I like every other thing about it and I would suggest it to anyone who knows how to use a SLR. Some other things I like is that the manual focus is sensitive, meaning if you turn it a lot it will change a lot.

This has a lot of other features I love, like is that it has a excellent battery life, and a great amount of pictures for a 1024 MB CF Card. The one I have is a silver one, some things they could improve are the live feed, having an internal capacity, and being more "Manual", although it is at a great amount.

Thanks for Your Support, I will be making a video review shortly.

I am going to start reviewing many products, not only Apple's but Canon, Motorola, and much more. I will start today, I will review Cameras, Scanners, Computers, Remotes, Cell Phones, Batteries.

"MacBook Pro"

I am a bit confused on why Apple turned the 13 inch aluminum MacBook into MacBook Pro, I understand that they upgraded performance and added an SD Card Slot, but I still think something is up. They spent years on their MacBook product line and now they are just leaving it in the dust. They might be making a NetBook, or like a MacBook Touch or something. Apple would not do that and just end right there, it is strange for them.

Still in the MacBook family is the old white one, they never got rid of it. They are keeping it for a couple of reasons, college; the students need a durable, easy-to-use computer. Another reason, cheapness; it is the cheapest notebook of its class out there and the cheapest Mac laptop. A lot of people wish that they brought back black.

Touch concept, IT CAN BE DONE. They made an iPod Touch, and an iPhone, if they brought that to the notebooks and maybe later desktops, they would be leading in the industry, I am not saying they currently are not leading. The worlds best phone, the most well known MP3 player, and of course the commonly known application iTunes, Now DMR free. They can of course do this, especially with all of their experience with the iPhone and iPod Touch, and add some multi-touch in their, maybe even Bluetooth for mice and keyboards, and headsets. Something really cool would be to have a miniature photo printer that comes out the opposite side of the CD/DVD slot, maybe even coming out of the CD slot. They might also have a hardware slide out keyboard. Now only the on screen, although most people would use the onscreen because it would have better auto correction that the regular keyboard. It could have tons of new features, later today or maybe tomorrow I will write more on this topic.....

Macintosh Development

I am certified to develop Mac applications, but when I started I was always wondering why it had to be so complex to make an application as simple as a couple of windows with interactive buttons. I wished I could just throw some HTML into it and make it look good, but it looked like crap.

I knew that in Xcode you could make dashboard widgets and iPhone web apps. But you could not seem to make them look good in a regular Mac application. I have done research and still could not do it, so I decided to just learn Cocoa and Cocoa Touch, so I did. I got a second display and started making some applications and never bothered distributing them. Maybe I will soon, it was a decision, a very hard one, pay $99 to start distribution, I didn't know if they would sell.

It could have easily been 100 bucks down the drain or it could be a money making extravaganza. I did not really know. Currently I still do not have the distribution package, and I am not planning to get it anytime soon.
