Been a week, but I thought I would like to report back what I found. The SSD eventually reset itself or something and so now it can be detected in a USB enclosure. Before it wouldn't. I guess not having power to it for a couple of days might have reset something. I was able to get data off of...

So I just had a crucial m4 issue start up. The drive now cannot be detected in bios or in a usb enclosure anymore. I'm open to suggestions on how to get my data back. Full story is Old computer laptop Dell XPS 15 L501x started acting up and being unstable. Before it would go for weeks without...

I believe I have one. PM me for more details, I'll try and get some pictures so you can ID it and make sure it is the right one.

The drive is partitioned and working correctly while on the USB enclosure adaptors. It's when I move the drive over that Win 7 64 that all the weird partitioning issues arise. Is there a way I can tell the drive to behave with a 4096 block size when I attach it using the esata port? I'm...

Anyway to fix this?

Can I get some help in moving a 4TB drive over from a USB 3.0 connection to a esata connection? I bought a 4TB external drive partitioned it as one big partition using the USB 3.0 connection. Under Disk Management and Minitool Partition Wizard Home Edition it shows up as 126MB Unallocated |...

interested, ygpm

Sad...already vandalized for the copper...

For landscape work, I see a lot of people do very well with the kit lens 18-55is. But to answer your question, 17-55is is definately better than 17-40 on crop body, unless you really want the lens for the status symbol a red ring carries. Other than that, the construction is not as good as...

Could also try Pinnacle Studio. I think it is probably less featured than Premiere Elements, but good enough for your use too.

I can second the s90 or s95. I used to use a dslr to take product photos for R&D use, but now I just whip that out. The other smaller cameras just don't cut it in office lit situations.

24-105 F4 is a good all around lens for the 5D. It's good for just about everything. For full frame, most people seem to agree 85 to 135 is the best focal lengths for portraiture. People pick one or the other end of the spectrum based upon subject size and framing perspective. In a pinch a...

Try looking for phottix RF remotes for the Canon and Nikon DSLR cameras. Maybe the Pentax and other brands are supported too. The phottix RF remote simply uses the wired shutter release line.

DSLR for video, works well if you don't mind manual focusing as said before. Editing full 1080p will require a pretty good computer. I did a short video and basically had one camcorder just recording the whole time and my 5DII to take short takes of the same event and did some post processing...

I have one and it is ok....but I also didn't have high expectations of it when I bought it. Pros: best thing about it is the ability for it to cling to round objects such as pipes and etc. Also you can bend the leg into a big hook to hang it from something. Cons: not that stable...
