Lots of options in adaptors for any Leica, Canon, Nikon, or even Konica glass. The lens argument isn't really valid, unless you want the camera to do auto-everything, in which case the RX100 may be the better option in the first place.

Which Top Gear segment do you like the least? Which, if you could, would you have erased from the Interwebs?

Have you ever considered going on Dancing with the Stars?

The worst was during the last winter Olympics. I live 2 hours from Vancouver, Canada. Yet, even "live" events were time delayed by three hours for the Seattle market for some jackass reason. Yes, I could have driven my car to the Olympic venue faster than it took to watch it on TV. That. Sucks.

One of the worst cars for back-facing car seats in the Honda Element. No joke. You have to lift the baby up and over the seat to fit him/her in because the back seats are too far back. A box that fails as a family car? Yes, it's sad. On the other hand, my kids love riding in the RX-8. "Make it slide daddy!"

I laughed when I saw a GoPro on a consumer quad mistaken as a "police surveillance unit." This article needs to be removed.

Tanner Foust is not the Stig in TGUSA... moving on...

A "toy" used by many indy production companies to manage scripts, replace $3000 clappers (with timecode sync and markers) and other tools of the trade - just for one industry example. Because you can't imagine anything useful for an iPad, doesn't mean real work applications don't exist. Even better, when the shoot is…

Skyactive is a collection of technologies that first come together in the upcoming CX-5. In the motor it includes reduced friction, improved airflow, high compression, direct injection and a pile of other changes to the motor that improve efficiency without sacrificing performance. It was, in short, a clean sheet,…

I just imported several GoPro HD videos using the CCK and it edits beautifully on the Avid App. I'd like to see support for AVCHD, but I realize there are processor constraints. That said, lots of consumer cameras save as MP4 and matched with the CCK I can really see this being useful for time-sensitive field…

Here's a second attempt at posting the video. The $1500 is to rent the road, per day. What you do with it - or how many cars you crash on it, is entirely up to you.

You can rent Maryhill Loops for about $1500 a day. No other vehicle access. (and why it's soooo awesome.)

1) my local high school is providing students with Chromebooks. Not charging them for Chromebooks. Providing them. I don't know what that has to do with your argument about students affording them. And, really, shouldn't a gadget blog want kids to have shiny gadgets?

Engadget was (is) reporting, "... giving authors the ability to set their own prices as long as they remain $14.99 or under." That translates pretty clearly into $15 being the highest price. So either Engadget or Gizmodo is wrong. I'm going to go watch the keynote now to see which it is.

So, if I'm reading this correctly: A gadget blog is making the argument that a $500 iPad is too expensive and, with a $15 cap on books, no one will step in to provide books (arguing space on the device is pointless, you can download just what you need when you need it - or didn't you think about that?). Also, did you…

locations spotted: Maryhill Loops Road, Oregon Raceway Park, Highway 97

Just watched the video. They need to revise their camera mount. That's a crazy amount of CMOS jello.

They're not fast enough. ESPN uses Zipline cameras for X Games and I know at least one producer that is building a zipline rig to film rally cars (he also has a DSLR drone)

There are more than just a "few" guys doing it. There are several companies and individuals that specialize in aerial automotive video platforms, or "drones," just like this. They, in turn, produce video for hundreds of different shows - and have been for quite a while. I know we hired our first in 2010, and the…

Crummy free hotel WiFi is a given. However, I often find that lately even crazy expensive hotel WiFi ($30/night) is damn near useless. 90% of the time I'm better off tethering to my iPhone's 3G signal.
