a700 is a winner
If you learned photography on a 35mm film camera, then you will be pleasantly surprised with the quality of this camera. It has a nice, bright, optical view finder, and it is fun to be able to fire off shots with very little shutter lag. The camera is very straight forward to use, and the quality of the image is excellent. Twelve megapixels might not seem very cutting edge, but it is more than enough for most of what I do. I have many other cameras, and this camera, along with my Sony a7 digital and Minolta a7 film cameras, is one my favorites. No video, but it does stills like a pro.

Best Mixer I Ever Owned
11 of 12 found this helpful I love to bake cookies from scratch. I burned up my wife's hand mixer on a batch of toll-house, and though I enjoyed the workouts mixing cookie dough with a wooden spoon, I simply could not take the guilt any longer. I had my heart set on a 6 quart machine, but I decided to go with this 5 quart mixer because of the all steel gears. I fired up this bad boy and fed it a triple batch of my chocolate chip franken-cookies. I had to occasionally push dough back down into the bowl because I exceeded the capacity of the bowl, but the machine never missed a beat. It didn't even slow down a little. If I had the money to spend on the 7 quart machine, I would do it in a second, but I am extremely pleased that I bought a real mixer that is built to take a bit of punishment for the sake of tasty treats. I love the bowl lift and the solid, stationary head. The design makes the machine stable and easy to use without making a mess. The attachments are well made and easy to clean, and the handle on the bowl allows it to be removed from the pins and clip with a quick upward tilt. The Pro 5+ is a scaled down version of a commercial mixer. It's kind of pretty too in an industrial sort of way; I have it parked on the kitchen table like a lincoln town car.
