Halo Spartan128

Snappy af i approve.

Yeah i'm happy  Even apple refurbished is 500$ CAD more expansive than that. I got it for almost 50% basically. 

To be honest, FCP X works well even on an iGPU. If there's one thing Apple is good at is optimizing hardware and software. Not even a gaming PC with i7-6700K and Adobe Premiere can compete with a ULV i7 on a 2015 MacBook Pro with FCP when it comes to rendering and exporting. 
 

I may be able to get lower but right now the offer on the 15" 2016 256gb is 2000$ CAD so 1588$ US. I would like to be able to get it for 1500$ CAD ( 1200$USD) but i might only be able to get 1700$ CAD (1350$ USD)

Sorry guys, can't talk about how to do hackintosh.

Hooo ok thanks ^^

1. All 3 of the links you attached, unless I am mistaken include the 18-55mm 3.5-5.6. 
 
So, lets go basics, the standard focal lengths, i.e. where the image is not too wide or too telephoto are between 24-70mm. You will also notice that the majority of images are taken within those focal lengths, for very specific uses. 
 
Usually, tele focal lengths i.e. 70mm and upwards are used for wildlife and sports photography, somewhere where you want to fill the frame with a single subject. They are also sometimes used for portraiture. 
 
Wider focal lengths are best when you want to capture most of what is inf ront of you, for example landscapes or interior photography etc. It also allows for an interesting perspective on the image in general. (distortion is usually noticeable at ultrawide focal lengths e.g. the fisheye effect is basically distortion due to the ultra-wide focal lenght). 
 
the 24-70mm applies to Full Frame 35mm sensors. APS-C sized sensors are physically smaller. This means a crop factor is applied, usually by x1.5 i.e. if you shoot an APS-C camera at 18mm, the equivalent focal length is 27mm in full frame. For canon APS-C cameras, such as the 750d and 70d, the crop factor is 1.6 i.e. 18mmx1.6= ~29mm. 
 
Kit lenses are usually roughly 24-70mm equivalents. 
 
A 75-300 or 55-250 are too close to use in many cases and thus are less versatile than ultrawides since they can only be used for sports, extremely close portraiture, wildlife and some other very niche usecases.  It is however, what most people feel they should buy as a 2nd lens, which is why it is often bundled so. 
 
For tech reviews, you are likely to be filming indoors so a tele such as a 75-300 would be too long to use. What I would perceive as a good set of lenses for that is a standard focal length 24-70mm equivalent, an ultrawide i.e. the 10-18mm for APS-C bodies and a fast prime to get shallow depth of field, which coupled with some extension tubes could capture some macro shots as well if you need them (even though a 1:1 macro lens is preferable in that case).
 
Both the 55-250 and 75-300 are cheaper in the bundles you have linked than alone, they are not the sharpest lenses around, but to be fair they are quite cheap.  
 
I advise you not to go for a tele as a 2nd lens, I have used my 90-300mm 5 times at most in the past 12 years I've had it, and while there are cases when 70mm were too short, I rarely shoot over 100mm, in fact most of my pictures are taken at around 20-50mm. 

A6000 much larger sensor (way better low light performance) and more features, I would go with that over the 5000.

Cool  I'm looking to compare those models and try them out at Best Buy (they have them in demo seems like)

You're welcome.  
 
Also, you'll want to get AIDA64 (at least the free version) for your x99 rig.  The cache and memory benchmark is really helpful with tuning both your cache and memory overclocks.

well its regular $830 so go for it chap.

Good idea thanks for that! ^^
 

Just sad that it seems like intel will announce a new X99 chipset and a new socket soon :') In any case i would never pay the full price for a CPU like this  
and I do use ethernet all the time but it's handy to have bluetooth and wifi

We shall see ^^ 199$USD is pretty dirt cheap

This is the rational part of me  I do want to start editing more and benchmarking stuff. But as i said before if it was at the regular price i would not even think about it. 199$USD. That's lower than the MSRP of a  Intel® Core™ i5-6600K. 

We definitely have a few builds coming, currently in the planning stages.  

4790k should work fine

I hope no poor unwitting soul just follows the pictures.
