How is this worth getting over the l-458dr?
1778784
Depends. If you need 1 degree spot metering, this one is the best. If you can live with 5 degrees spot metering, I-458 is better, because while you can get a 5 degree attachment for it, it has other features like touch screen, advanced cine capabilities, additional ambient modes, and uses AAA batteries.

If spot metering is critical to your photography/videography work, then the convenience this will bring in having everything built in may be worth the extra $300 for you as opposed to carrying an attachment that you may lose. Also, this thing is a tank. You really need to try to break this thing. If you accidentally drop the 458dr and the screen cracks, you could be having a lot of other issues unless you have a back-up light meter already. But if you don't have $300-worth of care for spot metering, then you could probably buy two 458drs and not worry about cracked screens.

Given the high ISO capability and the noise-handling of current softwares (LR4!), I see no compelling reason for the extra stop, weight, bulk and expense of the f 2.8 version. It is NO sharper than its little brother. And you already have the 85 f 1.8.

I have had both H288 and Syma 107 and they are similar, I like the Syma107 better

I'm sorry. We are happy with the air rifle and don't want another one, so I can't help you. If others suggest getting "another",I would ask "them" what they recommend. Thanks.

Thanks for your question. This will not replace the LR44--You may look for its alternate which is referred to as A76. I hope this helps!

TK is a great seller. I would just contact him, and he will most likely very accommodating. It sounds like you've had this a very short time if you've only used it twice. If I remember correctly everything is covered for at least 6 months. Another tip, I would recommend the MR 2800 model for upgrade. The quality of the MR2200 is ok, but not even close the the 2800!

this is not a beginner plane. I strongly recommend finding an AMA qualified field and instrustor to teach you how to fly first. If you have the basics down, then invest in one of the new Spektrum radios. I have the DX6 and it will bind to an infinate number of planes. The radio is only $200 and well worth the investment. I currently have 10 planes and 4 hellicoptors bound to it, not to mentions real flight similator. Sorry for my mispells, it is late in the evening for me. If you are truly new to the hobby, please buy a trainer first and find an instrustor. This hobby can be dangerous and I would hate to be banned because of a newbie decapatating a pedestrian. this is not a beginner plane.

It will be a challenge. If you think you are a good 4 ch flyer and can step up to CP no problem, you are in for a treat. It is tough, and it feels like you are learning all over.That said, this is a good flying heli. And it is hard to find a less expensive rtf 450 size. The flybarless system and 6 channel makes it fairly stable.First thing to do if you get this one is turn down the elev/ail EXT pot on the receiver. There is no stick banging allowed like you can with a 4 ch.

The model I have is the PL-310 ET. I did not know there was an earlier model.

I've had my LR for 28 months. I've had to replace the entire unit twice, plus the globes three times because customer service insisted the problems had to be with the globe. They were not, and I wasted weeks having to pack up and exchange parts. In my experience, it is rare for the unit to work problem-free for much longer than a year at a time. Fortunately (aside from issues of inconvenience) those difficulties were covered under the warranty. My current LR (replaced in July of last year and no longer under warranty) is not working. Following are the options quoted to me in an email from customer service; as you can see, none of them are inexpensive. Each option is carefully calibrated so that the most expensive one is also the 'safest' value in terms of warranty. "It sound as if you are having a problem with the position sensor. Unfortunately, there really is no way for you to fix that at home. At this point we would recommend that we repair your base unit. The cost to repair is typically $46 to $104 plus return shipping cost of $35. Another option is our complete Tune-Up for $139 which includes the return shipping costs. With our Tune-Up option our technicians will replace the motor, wiring harness, circuit board, carbon filter and seal strips. In addition to the standard replacement items, our technicians will perform a 7 point inspection and replace any other worn or damaged components. And a final option would be to buy a new or reconditioned base with an existing customer discount of 15%. With the discount, a new base would be $203.15, and a reconditioned base with the discount would be $160.65. *Prices include shipping. Both new and reconditioned bases come with the standard 18 month full warranty."

I couldn't tell you since I haven't tried the original. I'm sure you could get some opinions on TDPRI or the Gear Page.

I looked this up prior to buying it - 45000. Pull the trigger on it - you won't regret it.

It looks like they put an upgrade, the 50D, that is the higher price. The prices for the 20D are very inexpensive, under $500, and not much to choose from. I doubt you can get a brand new one any more.

Yes, toss it and move on with life. Mine was terrific at first too, and then converted itself into a piece of junk that defied every effort to restore it. This printer turned out to be a waste. I even bought a replacement print head for mine, and a ton of ink cartridges. Big mistake.

You should know that this replaces the fz-40. Go to the Panasonic website for info. Better yet, go to Dpreview and see what they have to say. Not worth the upgrade.

I have a D80 and it is working great on that. I can't keep up with all the numbers, but the I think the D50 and D80 basically share the same DNA. The D80 has a few more bells and whistles ($$$) but that's about it.
