    Solved! Canon 6D Mk.II?

    Hey So I'm going into a photojournalism program this September and I want to pick up the camera I need for it soon. I'm leaning towards the 6D, but it is pretty damn old and there are lots of rumors about the 6D Mk.II coming out soon. Is there any real evidence of that, or should I just get the...

    Cant setup 5.1 audio on PC

    I think I've got it figured out. It was my own stupidity I believe. I'm watching The Man From UNCLE in MKV format with 6 possible channels and all speakers are firing. I'm in true surround sound. I guess I just expected more to be made for surround sound in honesty. I expected to be able to play...

    Cant setup 5.1 audio on PC

    Hey let me start by saying ive had this problem for probably 3 years. This 5.1 has been sitting in the corner as there seems to be no possible solution to this. I've got the Samsung HT-E550 5.1 system and a Gigabyte Gaming 7 Mobo with a sweet dedicated onboard audio package. I bought it thinking...

    6th gen i3 vs 5th gen i5

    Im typing this on my laptop with a i5 5200U. Nothing but good to say. I had the i3 4005U before returning it for this model. The i5 is quite a bit better. The 5200U is not old, broadwell is fairly new in laptops. New enough so that the i5 of that gen is superior to the still newer skylake i3...

    Am I limited to EF-S?

    The guy at Henry's, my local camera store chain, also says it will act like a 85mm on an APS-C sensor.

    Am I limited to EF-S?

    A-ha. See. This is what I was talking about. One says the image will he cropped, one does not. This is like all the other forums I checked. While I appreciate both answers, this leaves me not really knowing what to do. I don't want to get a 50mm lens if it's going to act like a 80mm, that's...

    Am I limited to EF-S?

    Hey there, I'm new to the world of photography but RAPIDLY delving right into it all. I just got my SL1 (For a 12 pack of beer I might add) and a STM IS 18-55 kit lens. This is a fine lens for lots of things but I find myself aching to shoot astro photography. I have tried and gotten alright...

    Buying new mouse, keyboard and headset

    I love my Corsair K70. Got it on sale for $145 or something. Never looked back. As far as mouses I like the little known brand Perixx. check them out on amazon, better performance and build quality than most logitech mouses I've seen at half the price. As far as a gaming headset, again go on...

    Do I Need A Soundcard For The Sennheiser PC 350 SE

    I know that with my Sennheiser HD 518's they actually sounded infinitely worse with my ASUS DGX sound card I had. Really, you're Mobo should be good. But, if it comes to it and you're not satisfied on a personal level, than order a sound card after the fact and see if it helps any. One thing...

    Do I Need A Soundcard For The Sennheiser PC 350 SE

    Uh-oh. Yeah get 'er done there, drivers are always a necessary thing. Should be info and tools on Gigabytes website for it or a CD that came with the Mobo.

    Do I Need A Soundcard For The Sennheiser PC 350 SE

    That board will keep you happy with your sound quality as it does indeed have good audio drivers and a dedicated audio section. Mic quality should not differ between either or.

    Do I Need A Soundcard For The Sennheiser PC 350 SE

    Very very few times out of a few hundred will you need a sound card. Im an audiophile and a fellow Senn enthusiast. I love perfection in music and noise reproduction, but no, you do not need a sound card for those. More and more often the audio drivers on mother boards are better and better...
