The review details some of the most important features including frame rate, connections, storage options, iso and image sensor. Since the unit hasn't been released, there was no hands on review available.

Cheesycam reviews the very affordable Luxi Cello 10" LED Light. CELLO LED has a new feature for choosing Colored Gels through its menu (or through the smartphone app). This feature adds a new dimension for being able to select a very particular RGB color, and also being able to repeat the choice in the future. Most other RGB Lights have very basic controls for RGB, and not quite as refined as Luxli has done with all of their products.

Ralph, the inclusion of short annotations is always critical to help the reader understand why you chose to include certain items over others. As I read through the above descriptions, in some cases you provide enough to give your readers a sense for inclusion, but are a bit briefer with others. Something to keep in mind as you keep blogging.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your advice. I will make sure to go back and revise some of the links.
ReplyDeleteRalph, no need to make changes to this entry. Just advice for future blogging.
