What do you think of the S5i's durability overall as well as compared to S4i, which are considerably cheaper?

Cheap is not always better. S5i's are great for sound and durability. Dongle is heavy though.

I've had both. Sadly they both suffered from the same problem. They became disconnected from the bud itself. It was nice having the big water proof dongle for runs and things like that but ultimately I think that the sound quality was roughly the same between the two. I had both for about 6-9 months. Don't get me wrong these are great earbuds but I did expect them to last longer and I will probably not purchase them again. Currently I have both the Harman Kardon BT over-ear headphones and the NC model as well. No complaints yet.

It's really a matter of personal preference and what you plan to do with it. Both are great cameras and I'm sure you will be happy with either. After doing an exhaustive amount of research I selected the T5i because I plan on shooting stills and videos. The Canon out performs Nikon slightly in the video category, while Nikon has a slight advantage in low light shooting stills. If you do decide to go with the T5i I strongly recommend that you seek out "camerarec toby" on you tube. He has fantastic tips and training videos on the T5i that are free and yet invaluable. That being said I firmly believe that either camera will amaze you with their features and abilities. It's really a matter of personal preference and what you plan to do with it.

Yes, I have upgraded one of my S4 (with lifetime) because I wanted one unit without conflicts. The HD interface is noticeably faster! I gave my S4 to one of my kids to use or sell. Other big pluses: Built in wi-fi and much quieter (fan & drive).

Hi NickFound this link with lots of good info about the s3 and s5. You may want to check it out.http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1010&message;=24275832

The T4i offers small but noticeable improvements over the T3i. I have both; to be honest, both are very nice cameras for advanced amateurs/enthusiasts. I would spend the extra for the T4i. Rumors are that Canon will introduce a new Rebel this year, so ...

I have had the t3i and now currently own the t4i... My wife LOVES the t4i, especially with the STM lens. The touch screen is really pretty cool and the live view mode is leaps and bounds more responsive than the t3i.

I bought the S4 Zoom from amazon for my wife. She loves photography. The S4 zoom has an unremarkable camera and is the same size and has the same features as the S4 mini. The only down side is that the lens and grip is a little bulky but still not too bad. The S4 has a few more features like and a bigger display. So it all comes down yo what u want out of the phone. If u appreciate photography and don't mind the slightly bulky design then the zoom is for you. But if u like lots of features and slim designs then the S4.

Thanks, Todd. I went for it and found a refurbished one for less than $75 over the cost of a new s1300. I'm sure it will be worth it.

I always like a bigger LCD (I know it made a difference between dv cams when I am shooting video), but I'd have to be sure it *really* made a difference. The slower burst mode is a big negative for me since I'll be shooting a lot of sporting events. I also do a lot of time-lapse, so if that function is truly gone I pretty much have to forget about the s5. If those two things were "fixed" I'd defintely get the S5 and not worry about the other problem areas.

Well, the s5 is the follow-up model to the s4.You can google: Galaxy s4 active vs. S5 active specs.It will list the specs of both phones for you to compare.In short: better camera, faster processor, more powerful

Previous reviewers have answered the technical questions. I own the E4 and love it. I'm buying the E5 as a Christmas gift, and as it's pretty much at the same price point, I would suggest going with it over the E4 at this point. But the difference between the two is not so great that I would go rushing to upgrade from the E4 to the E5.

Buy whichever is cheaper. The differences between the 2 are so small. T5i has a 360 degree dial and some extra creative filters. I don't think it's worth the extra price.

Not very hard, I did my S3 multiple times with no problems and worked like new. Tips - Make sure you have plenty of time and go slow, Did my husband's S4 and ran into a time crunch, broke his digitizer within 2 mins of trying to "hurry". Also, wouldn't recommend on a refurb either because you never know what or if it was put back together, friends phone screen completely came out of phone because it was refurbished and apparently a factory second glue on the mechanicals which melted away. BUT every situation and phone is different so don't attempt to do without phone insurance or back up plan! If you have thato just in case go for it! Save $100's or lose $5... not a bad wager.

I have the E4, and a friend who wanted one like mine ended up with the E5 as it was only $6 more. All the features are the same. They are both working great months (mine 7, his 3 or 4) later. Unfortunately the only device we have in common is the phone, and his laptop is even a smaller screen, so we really can't tell if the extra 2000 makes much difference.

From what I can gather these type batteries have a defined life. It seems under normal usage the s4 battery is only good for about 1 year. Heavy usage (recharging a lot) can reduce the the life more quickly. I plan to replace my battery at least yearly. I try and always keep a spare on hand because a battery ordered on line is so much cheeper that buying one on the local market.

Honestly I couldn't say as I don't have a T4i but the design of the cameras are almost identically so I would buy one. This grip is awesome too, I've never had a single issue with it.

I never had the S4 but I believe that the only difference is the materials used increase the level of durability.
