From many to one: a review of the Universal R50 remote control
I recently brought home Universal's R50 , hoping I could replace the five remotes cluttering my home theater room with a single, smarter remote. All those remotes were a pain to manage — to literally keep from disappearing between the sofa cushions...

The Canon EOS 7D: First Impressions
Wow! That was my reaction after checking out the new Canon EOS 7D . At a recent Canon product training session I had an opportunity to get my hands on a 7D. I had been patiently waiting this day for quite some time after hearing about this new DSLR, and...
