  1. I would love to win the Kova as I am on a £20 mouse right now! And it looks sexy as f****!!!!
  2. Thank you for your help I will be sure to reply again when I decide
  3. I would link you to my channel but that would be against the rules. I currently take b-roll footage for unboxings and reviews, some of my footage is photos that I pan across in editing, some is video from my camera on a tripod (hopefully going to get a little slider at some point), external audio is not essential because most of my audio is done in post and I could get an external recorder if I had to. I would like a focus wheel as that would be easier for some of my shots and the ability to change lenses would be useful as I do take photos outside of videoing for Youtube. I currently have a Panasonic fz-150 and tbh I hate it, my phone takes better video. I was looking at the sony a5100 and the EOS 1200D would they be able to fulfill my photo/video needs? Thanks
  4. Thank you very much What do you think of the: Sony a5000 Canon 1200D and would the Sony a5100 be worth the extra price? Also Do you have a personal preference?
  5. As the title suggests what is the best compact system camera under £250 for preferably 60fps 1080p video to be uploaded to youtube. Also working in low light is a must as we don't get much sun here in Scotland Suggestions would be appreciated Thanks Edit. If there is a DSLR that does the job that would be fine
  6. Well maybe in the future I will have one to compare it to.
  7. In the UK, the 380X is over £190 and the GTX 960 4gb g1 gaming is £180
  8. Hmm I've seen other reviews that point to less of a difference, as I stated 2-3 fps. I suppose it depends on the game. Anyway, for maxing out at 1080p I would still recommend the 960 4GB as it is cheaper. Just personal Preference really. Don't want to start a fanboy war haha.
  9. Actually with the 380x you only get an increase of around 2-3 fps, but the 960 is also a lot more power efficient and quieter.
  10. Specs: Core Clock Base / Boost clock:1241/ 1304 MHz Memory Clock 7010 MHz Process Technology 28 nm Memory Size 4 GB GDDR5 Memory Bus 128 bit Card Bus PCI-E 3.0 DirectX 12 Digital max resolution 4096 X 2160 Analog max resolution 2048 x 1536 Multi-view 4 I/O Dual-link DVI-I / Dual-link DVI-D / HDMI / DisplayPort*3 Card size H=39 L=298 W=115 mm Suggested Power requirement 400W with two 6 pin connectors The card has a triple fan cooler with an LED windforce logo on the top and LED fan inidcator lights that turn on when the card's fans stop spinning. In the default configuration the card's three windforce fans don't start spinning until the card reaches over 60 degrees celcius, and even when they do come on they are ultra quiet. So I have had times where I have been playing battlefield 4 on ultra settings and the fans haven't even come on once! The Build quality is excellent and the included back plate is a great addition. I have no problems with Gigabyte cards in the past and I doubt I will have any problems with this one as gigabyte products have never let me down. Benchmarking: The PC I used for the benchmarks has an intel core i7 860 quad core running at 3ghz, 12GB DDR3 RAM, an 800W Power supply and of course, the card itself. I don't have any cards to compare this to as this is my first graphics card review. I used fraps to benchmark my games over a period of 120 seconds and then repeated two more times then took the highest and lowest of all three results, and found the average of all three averages. In Battlefield 4 at 1080p on the ultra settings preset I was able to achieve: A Maximum 132 frames per second. A minmum of 46 frames per second and An average of 61 frames per second. In Elite: Dangerous at 1080p with the settings maxed out I was able to achieve: A maximum of 145 fframes per second, A minimum of 59 frames per second and an average of 103 frames per second. And the last game I used for these benchmarks is War Thunder. At 1080p and on the movie settings preset I was able to achieve: A maximum of 179 frames per second A minimum of 68 frames per second and an average of 100 frames per second. In all of these games the card never rose above 65 degrees celcius and was completely inaudible against the sounds of my fractal design define r5 case fans. So... should you buy this card. Well it depends what you want it for. Buy it if you want it for: maxing out the latest triple a titles at 1080p while not breaking the bank, definitely upgrading from a 500 or 600 series card, yeah, go for it. I would recommend something else if you want it for: gaming at resolutions above 1080p I would recommend you go for a gtx 970 or an r9 390 as this card will struggle, maxed out at 1440p and I wouldn't even bother with 4k gaming on the 960. rendering videos, you would probably be better going with a card that is made for rendering although this card can handle rendering reasonably well. upgrading from a 700 series card, I would recommend either waiting for the next generation of cards or just keeping what you have got.

  11. I'm not a fan of the blackberry, I don't see the point in the keyboard.
  12. I know right. My new Moto X Play has an immense battery life, thanks to them putting a huge 3600 mAh battery in it.
  13. Specs: Display: 5" Front facing camera: 5 Megapixels Rear Camera: 5 Megapixels Storage: 8GB Network: 3G Processor: Snapdragon 410 Quad core 1.2Ghz RAM: 1GB OS: Microsoft Windows phone 8.1 or windows 10 mobile Price: £50 (SIM Free) Pros: Reasonable screen Loud Speaker Thin Form Great Price Cons: Bad Camera Not 4G Battery life is lacking Dull design ​Conclusion: Great phone for the price, got it's issues but it will work great as a first smart phone and is a good budget device. With a little work done, I'm sure the new 550 will be an amazing budget device for the people who can't afford or simple don't want a mid-range or flagship device. Video:
