Weren't you interested in the Canon T6i? This looks like a pretty awesome black friday deal for what it's worth...

I was looking into the 60D actually. That might not be too bad though.

The specs between that and the the 60D aren't too different despite being released 5 years apart. XD

  Yep it's crap. Not nearly as bad as the continuation of Usagi drop
 
Season 2 of Yahari Ore was honestly a fantastic show imo in terms of how much feels it hit me with. 

I only recently found out about that. Laughed really hard and then got a bit sad.

Meeeeeh. Gave up after five episodes. Shame because I liked the first season.

screw it. I bought the VAIO Z.....

Such rich.

 

[vantt1]

 

There's one to start with. 

I just realized Sony doesn't own VAIO anymore, so this new one is just "VAIO". Dat Z hinge tho!

 
 
With that many discrete layers, how much will it flex?

RIP in peace wallet.
 
Amazon have good returns right? it's probably worth the premium.
 
Is it updated with Skylake?

Yup, if the item arrives damaged at all and the seller won't offer free return shipping, I can take it up with Amazon and get a refund.
 
Nope. I figure I can either wait a while a while for it to be potentially updated or just get it now. I've been reading some mixed reports on how Skylake might have not even improved battery life all that much or performance over previous generations, so it may not make much of a difference. Besides, with the purported 15 hour battery life I think I'll do fine

Wait I thought it would be less expensive to import than some middle man on amazon.

Surprisingly, no. I emailed PriceJapan for a quote and it came out to $2100 or so... Heck, even if I would have just paid my friend in Japan to go and pick it up, since he's not tax exempt, it would have cost like $2010 and that's not even including EMS shipping.

Skylake has something called "Speed Shift" or something that designates control of clock speeds and power draw to the CPU itself instead of the OS. Windows 10 isn't updated with this yet but has an update to support Speed Shift in November (this month). I think Anandtech did a few tests and it offers a slight performance boost in some cases though increased battery life is basically negligible.
 
Wow. O_O

now you can use it as a tablet PC and play VNs on the bus.

Hmm I don't know... Hopefully not too much considering the all-metal construction and the price!

Huh, so I guess we won't see the true effects on battery life until windows is updated? Shrug. I can't imagine that making a 20% improvement like Intel says...

I already can with my Asus Transformer

Playing VNs with a touch screen actually isn't that good... Most aren't touch optimized and require two taps to act as a click...

I can't wait for that game to get translated...

I only saw a difference of a few minutes in the Anandtech comparison so...eh.
 
It's not really meant to be that big of a game changer b/c it only gives more precise control over CPU voltage and speed. CPU controlled just gives finer adjustments so that you get better efficiency, but it's not like OS controlled was horrible to begin with.

Oh just kidding, 70D.

Ok. Decision time.
Canon 70D from B&H Photo - $1099
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/986390-REG/canon_8469b009_canon_eos_70d_dslr.html

Or

PS4 and MGSV from somewhere



I'm pretty much set on Canon for a mirrored camera since I like the contouring of the body more than Nikon. If I'm going to use a camera, it ought to be comfortable in my hand. 70D specifically because it has good video features. 18-55 mm starter kit lens as recommended by someone for the best value; I'd rather have the flexibility of zoom rather than a prime lens.

I knew it was something-ty-D. SixTY, sevenTY, same thing. XD

http://snapsort.com/compare/Canon-EOS-70D-vs-Canon-EOS-Rebel-T6i


Huh, the Nikon D7200 has 1080p @ 60FPS video shooting. I've been recommended the 70D over that though since auto-focusing is better on the Canon.
Actually the pros/cons section of this website are terribad. D7200 "con": Heavy 675 g, 70D "pro": Light 755 g. : D

There has to be an option to adjust the tapping action. But then again, maybe double tap isn't too bad. Then there's no accidental advancing of the... action...

... Any reliance for me on that site would be instantly shot if I saw that.
