Editorial Review:
Product Description: In photography, image is everything and we kept this in mind with the 808RC4. It modernized the overall shape and rounded many of the hard edges to produce a fresh and elegant product. The new handles are designed to fit comfortably in your hand, even taking into consideration the size of your fingers. A new coating on our quick-release lever that is more durable and scratch resistant is also used.
Rating: - Excellent Product
Yes, a bit pricey and a bit heavy... but that is what you need to support a heavier camera. I combined this with Bogen-Manfrotto 3021BN Classic Tripod (legs). The head is well built, and I especially like the resistance feature that it has in connection with the two main knobs. The resistance can also be turned off for each of the knobs. I don't anticipate ever having to replace either the legs or the head, due to sturdy construction.

Usually we're fans of Logitech's gaming mice, but its highest-end G9 Laser Mouse is expensive, overly complex, and lacks the ergonomic thought we've come to expect. If you like to brag about dot-per-inch limits, perhaps the G9's 3,200dpi laser will be enough to sell you, but for the price, we expect the design to match.
Small and light enough for a shirt pocket, Samsung's Helix YX-M1 is a one-stop audio entertainment center with an XM radio, a digital music player, and room for 50 hours of tunes, but it comes up short on battery life.
