GoPro Hero5 Black-The best GoPro so far

GoPro Hero5 is the 4K action camera that we wanted, with more straightforward menus on a two-inch touchscreen and out-of-the-box water resistance.
GoPro Hero5 Black is here to give you an new epic level of 4K video that, for the first time in two years, gives you a reason to upgrade your action camera.

There's no GoPro Hero5 Silver. Instead, the Black version combines the best features of both editions with 4K video at 30 frames per second and a much-needed interactive two-inch touchscreen.
The touchscreen provides a simplified interface that makes the GoPro Hero5 Black much easier to use, and it all comes together in a tighter, more waterproof package.

It costs $399 in US and India; and was launched on October 2



Design

  • has a two-inch touchscreen for controls and playback
  • Waterproof up to 33ft (10m) - without waterproof hosing
  • Bigger battery, small wrap-around frame and USB Type-C port

The two-inch touchscreen changes the way you control the GoPro, with streamlined menus. You no longer have to press a series three physical buttons in order to do a million different tasks. It's all right on the display.
Don't worry, the Hero5 Black still has one-button control at the top to quickly start recording footage, and a on/off/mode button on the side to power up and cycle through various ways to capture,
All GoPro mounts are compatible with the Hero5 Black, and the camera also works with the new Go Pro Karma Drone.

Video and photo quality

  • 4K video with long-overdue video stabilization
  • New Linear mode provides less barrel distortion
  • RAW and WDR photos, with GPS tagged location
Hero5 Black provides the same wide-angle camera field of view that GoPro is known for, but it also adds new modes and better video quality in key areas.
The Black edition shoots 4K video at either 30 or 25 frames per second in Wide, while SuperView and Wide do 4K at 24 frames per second. Medium and Linear shoot in 2.7K, while Narrow is capped at 1080p.

            PROS:


  1. Captures 4K video with stabilization
  2. Touchscreen for easy controls
  3. Water-resistant without housing

CONS:

  1. Controls still have a learning curve
  2. Mobile apps have limitations
  3. Discipline needed to edit like a pro

Burn a CD/DVD on Windows 7 or Vista without using software

In order to burrn cd/dvd follow these simpe step: 1.Insert a blank recordable/rewritable CD (CD-R) or DVD (DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW) disc into the CD burner drive. 2.With a new blank disc, Windows might pop up a prompt asking you which format you want to use (as shown on the image below). 3.As explained on the popup, the option " Like a USB Flash Drive " is more convenient if you want to use the disc as an external storage, which you can add or delete (rewritable disc) files on the fly; however, once the disc is formatted with this option, it can only be read on computers with Windows XP or later. On the other hand, the option " With a CD/DVD Player " is the traditional format of CD/DVD disc and is compatible with a wider range of Windows versions as well as other devices, but requires to burn the disc (or erase the entire disc) all at once 4.To keep it simple, we will follow the steps to create traditional CD/DVD, so select " With a CD/DVD Player ".

My thoughts on the All New Google Pixel & Pixel XL

After watching practically every camera review on YouTube (not really, but hours of them, Lol), I have some thoughts on the Pixel Camera: 1. I really, really don't like how the picture you actually get out of the camera can differ so much from what you see on the screen. It's basically black magic. You just don't know what it's going to look like because it processes the living **** out of the camera in the background (HDR+). They mind as well just show you a wireframe preview of the screen, FFS. 2. The EIS works well against other Android flagships with OIS, but not as well against the iPhone's EIS + OIS implementation, particularly in indoor/lower lighting. The GS7 is very jumpy, and worse than the Pixel; but you notice jitters in the Pixel's video - compared to the iPhone - when walking and panning the cameras while recording video. 3. Daylight shots, and those in great lighting look amazing. The LG V20 seems to be superior, however (way shar
