More cameras
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
We've tested the image quality of the 24-Mpix Sony A6000 with over 23 zoom and prime lenses. Read on to find out which of those models perform best with Sony's current top-of-the-line APS-C mirrorless model.
Panasonic GH series of micro four-thirds cameras are some of the best all-round video and stills hybrid solutions currently available. Read on to find out how the new 4K capable Four Thirds sensor in GH4 performs.
The Sony Alpha A6000 is a revision of the earlier NEX-6 featuring a new 24-Mpix APS-C sensor and on-sensor phase-detection AF with improved coverage. Read on to find out how the new model performs.
Recently announced in a black finish, the original chrome-bodied version was the first telephoto zoom for the firm's NEX mirrorless models and was intended to complement the 18-55mm kit lens. Read on to find out how well it performs.
Continuing our series of lens recommendations for new camera models, we've had the opportunity to assess the new entry-level Sony A3000 - the first of a new DSLR form-factor from the firm to adopt the mirrorless E-mount. We've assessed and collated data on a sizeable collection of Sony and third-party prime and zoom models to assess image quality. Read onto find out which of these models perform best when paired with the new camera.
Continuing our series of evaluation of lens systems we've assessed a modest range of Pentax and third-party lenses for their optical quality on the firm's new flagship Pentax K-3 model. As the replacement for the K-5 II and K-5 IIs, the Pentax K-3 has a new higher pixel density 24-Mpix sensor without an AA filter, and is a promising platform for lens evaluation. Read on to find out which models perform best, and which, if any, that should be avoided.
Although not officially released in the US, as the equivalent to an 18-35mm the new EF-M 11-22mm f4-5.6 IS STM is an essential addition to the EOS M system. Read on to find out how well it performs in our labs.
Sigma's range of DN A lenses have been designed for mirrorless cameras using both MFT and APS-C sensors, albeit with different mounts. As the equivalent to a 45mm on an APS-C camera we've tested the 30mm f2.8 on the discerning Sony NEX-7. Read on to find out how well it performs.
As a short telephoto prime for Sony NEX and Olympus and Panasonic cameras, the re-categorized A series Sigma 60mm f/2.8 DN prime fills a gap not yet occupied by the camera maker's own models. Read on to see how well this lens performs.
While Samsung has a number of zooms in their mirrorless NX lens range, their primes consist of an intriguing amalgamation of compact 'pancake' types, ultra-high speed designs and special purpose models. We've assembled five models for testing and analyzed them using a 20Mpix Samsung NX20. Read on to see how well the combination of high-resolution APS-C sensor and innovative NX-mount primes perform.
Introduced during 2011, the 24-Mpix Sony NEX-7 remains a high-watermark for mirrorless models despite recent introductions from rivals. We've now had the opportunity to measure the performance of this camera with a number of promising new lens models. Read on to see how well the combination of Sony's high-resolution APS-C sensor and the very latest E-mount lenses perform.
ZEISS already have one prime lens in Sony's NEX line-up, albeit made under license for them, but at Photokina in September, the optics firm announced its intention to produce AF lenses in both Sony NEX and Fuji X mounts. The first of these lenses in the series, dubbed Touit by the maker, are an ultra-wide Distagon 2.8/12 (18mm equivalent) and a standard-type Planar 1.8/32 (50mm equivalent). Read on to see how well these two new lenses perform on the Sony NEX-7.
Nikon was one of the last big camera makers to offer a mirrorless model but when they finally announced the Nikon 1 system back in September, 2011, they attracted some controversy for adopting a new smaller sensor than rivals. Since then, they've done well to increase popularity of the system by expanding the range of lenses in a relatively short time frame. The 1 Nikkor 6.7-13mm f/3.5-5.6 and the 18.5mm f/1.8 are two of the newest models from the firm. Read on to see how well they perform when mounted on the Nikon 1 V1 body.
The $348 Sony E 20mm f/2.8 is a wide-angle prime for the Sony NEX range of hybrid still cameras and Interchangeable Lens camcorders. Its equivalent 30mm wide-angle focal length is ideal for interiors, landscapes or street photography, and a f/2.8 aperture is great in low-light. Just 20.4mm deep and weighing 69g it's compact for travelling light, but how will it perform?
Sony's annual update to the NEX range has so far failed to deliver the expected high-end replacement to the NEX-7. However, Sony has added the promising NEX-6 and refrevshed the popular, entry-level NEX-F3 with this new sleek looking model. Read on to see how well it performed in our labs.
Launched in March 2013 the $1097 Coolpix A is Nikon's first compact camera with an APC-S sensor and features the same 16.2-megapixel DX sensor from Nikon's D7000 DSLR but with its optical low-pass filter removed. Utilizing a fixed NIKKOR 18.5mm f/2.8 prime lens (equivalent to 28mm in 35mm terms) the Nikon Coolpix A has the right ingredients for great image quality so let's see how it performs.
Hybrid is a word used both positively and negatively, quite appropriate for the photographic industry. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH3 wears this badge: "Hybrid", a mix of system and compact. It has a range of lenses spanning 7mm to 300mm (equivalent to 14mm up to 600mm in full frame 35mm) and a body that is not much bigger than a compact camera. Should it wear it with pride? Yes, it should…
After the introduction of the entry-level 24Mpix D3200 early last year it seemed inevitable that the rest of the firm's APS-C (DX) range would be refreshed with the same sensor. While the gestation of the new 24Mpix D5200 has taken longer than most people could of reasonably predicted, the sensor is, in fact, a new design and the first from a different vendor for Nikon. We've recently put the new camera through our labs, read on to see how the new sensor performs.
A noise benchmark of 187 digital cameras by Peter van den Hamer
DxOMark Camera Sensor is a raw benchmark for camera bodies by DxO Labs. The benchmark is "raw" because it measures image quality using Raw output files. It is also raw as DxO's data can be used to cook up camera reviews that cover more aspects than image quality.
Canon was the last major maker to embrace the hybrid or 'mirrorless' camera market. As a somewhat sober debut, designed for those who are new to photography, the EOS M adopts an 18-megapixel APS-C format in a compact body but boasts a number of advanced features including a 31-point hybrid AF system for stills and video and a touch sensitive 3-inch LCD. While it's clear this camera doesn't compete directly with the firm's DSLRs, how does it stack up against the competition that don't have the same volume of DSLR sales to protect?
Announced in September 2012, the Sony NEX-6 creates a new range in the Sony line-up. It sits between the flagship Sony NEX-7 and the mid-range Sony NEX-5R offering features and performance benefits to beginner and advanced photographers alike. Providing a simplified user-interface than the NEX-7, the NEX-6 is none-the-less fully featured with a high-resolution OLED viewfinder, Full HD video recording and a tilt-adjustable screen for ease of use.

With the Pen E-PL5, Olympus updates its range of micro 4:3 compact hybrids with redesigned ergonomics, upgraded electronics, and especially with the integration of the same 16Mpix LiveMos sensor found in the OM-D E-M5. Will it show the same advances in image quality as the flagship camera of its line? Our tests provide the answer.
The Sony NEX-6 is a well-thought-out compact hybrid that, like the NEX-7, takes into account the needs of the expert amateur, but also considers the needs of beginning photographers as well.
Finally, a Sony full-frame DSLR: the last one was the Alpha 850. But though the new full-format 24Mpix camera shines with all of its new technology and features, it now belongs to the family of cameras with electronic viewfinders instead of with the Alpha 900 and its traditional DSLR viewfinder. With this new positioning, Sony stands out from among the leading lights in this market segment.
The NEX-F3 is one of three Sony mirrorless camera models released in 2012, and it's the company's eighth since the launch of the NEX line in 2010. The NEX-F3 borrows heavily from higher-end models, but also taps much of the technology found in its predecessor. So is there any big evolution in sensor quality for the NEX-F3? Or were most of the changes to the camera cosmetic? DxOMark has some answers.
Olympus caused a sensation when it revived the legendary OM line that had enjoyed its heyday in the silver halide era. The Olympus OM-D E-M5 successfully revisits the OM design in terms of its ergonomics and workmanship. Olympus has quite precisely taken advantage of this new family in its line of compact hybrid micro 4:3 cameras to introduce a new 16 Mpix Live MOS sensor. What is this new sensor all about? Does it represent an improvement over current Pen sensors? Does it help the micro 4:3 category to catch up with the APS-C hybrids (with the Sony NEX in the lead)? Our sensor review provides the answers.
We are already acquainted with the D3200: apart from a few ergonomic details, it's the same camera as the compact and lightweight D3100 SLR, though missing the secondary display on its bridge for even greater compactness. The D3200 weighs only 454 grams (without battery or card). Unlike the D3100, the D3200's lens is off-center for better balance and the highly practical LiveView/video mode activation tab of the D3100 and the D5100 has disappeared in favor of a more ergonomically mundane video recording button. The D3200 comes with a second (dorsal) infrared sensor to complement its front sensor for more practical infrared remote control. The motor selection tab (single-frame, burst, timer, remote control) is gone as well, again replaced by a direct-access button.
Following the hybrid camera trend and after the limited success of the Pentax Q, Pentax is announcing today a new compact camera with interchangeable lenses, the Pentax K-01.
Ever since we tested the Sony SLT A77, we've been very curious to see how the soon-to-be released Sony NEX 7 would compare. And today we have the answer: as we expected, the absence of a mirror gives the NEX7 some advantages. Below is a detailed look.
It's rare in the world of photography for a manufacturer to come up with an entirely new product line from scratch, and it's equally rare for a famous manufacturer such as Nikon (the world market leader) to offer a new lens mount (Nikon CX). This makes the launch of the Nikon 1 line (Nikon J1 and Nikon V1) a major event in photography this fall.
When the Sony A77 was announced a couple of weeks ago as a replacement for the Sony Alpha 700, Sony's semi-professional APS-C camera, we were all very impressed by its specifications. So we were really excited to see how it would perform in our tests.
Here are our results.
The long awaited and rumored mirrorless Nikon camera was finally announced today. And it's not just one but a pair of new mirrorless compact "1 System" cameras that are coming to compete with the Sony NEX 7, the Pentax Q, the Olymps PEN EP3 or even the Fujifilm FinePix X10. These 2 first models in this new Nikon 1 series are the Nikon J1 and Nikon V1.

Missing Lens
I have not yet seen a review for the SEL16F28 lens. I consider this lens one of my favorite lenses. I see you have the 20mm Pancake, but not the 16mm Pancake which was released much earlier.

major miss
1) In order for one to claim the best lenses for a camera system then order them based on their performances, he must test all native lenses first.
How come you guys miss 18-55mm zoom lens that almost all of us owned it before PZ lens was out?
We all know 18-55mm zoom gives a better performance than 18-200mm in many ways. Some of us say it is better than PZ 16-50 too. So it would place within the first 3 but yet its not even in the list.
2) I would put Rokinon 8mm f2.8 in this list in somewhere on high levels too. It is an e-mount lens.
Hope you will correct your list with the 1) addition. then enrich it with rokinon and dslr magic lenses.

I'm surprised that the Sony 50mm outperform the Zeiss 24mm. I'm not convinced this is the case in real world shooting of these two lenses. Although mechanically its probably easier to make a good 50 than a good 24. I was shooting with someone who had the Sony while I was using the Zeiss and I had better light transmission...I don't believe he was using a filter and I was. Regardless, thank you for the above review.
Please add the SLR Magic Hyperprime 50mm f0.95 to the review list.

Re: Comparison
I am not surprised at all. I use both. 50mm is a better lens. Both on sharpness, low CA and low vignetting. Also it is a OSS lens. 700$ less than Zeiss is the last reason that makes it again better than 24 zeiss.
In fact I would vote for sel35 f/1.8 to be again better than 24 zeiss too. I also own this lens. It is significantly smaller than zeiss and costs less than half. Performance of this lens is minimally worse than zeiss that everybody can live with that.

Sony 50mm f1.8 is not as good as Zeiss 24mm f1.8
I've tried two samples of the Sony 50mm f1.8 against the Zeiss / Sony 24mm f1.8 and neither of the Sony's performed as well. My observation is that the Sony at f8 about equals the Zeiss at f4, with the Zeiss having at least a 1.5-stop advantage at wider apertures. From f1.8 to f4, the Zeiss is sharper, with better contrast and lower chromatic aberration. What I see looks a lot closer to what slrgear.com found in their testing of both lenses.

Zeiss touit 12 mm
I must continue to misunderstand !
The 20 mm is poor in sharpness as it is a pancake !!
I have the sel24f1.8 and i find the 12 mm to be as sharp as the 24.
All review i read, and especially the ones coming from "le monde de la photo" and "chasseur d'image" which are famous specialized photography magazines in France, explains the Touit 12 mm to be sharper than the Touit 32 mm Touit. But you give huge different scores between the 32 and the 12 !!
So, may be you had a bad sample or it must be a mistake...

Dxo mark score is a joke
Zeiss touit 12mm and Sel 20mm same score of 17 ... but completly differents conclusions :
Sel 20mm : "Optically it's far from perfect" ... "A sharpness score of 10 P-Mpix is disappointingly low for lens tested on 24-megapixel sensor like the Sony NEX-7 and slight barrel distortion is noticeable"
Zeiss Touit 12mm : "The two new Touits from ZEISS live up to our expectations. While we're unable to test these lenses on Fujifilm X-Series cameras currently, the results are likely to be very similar. On the Sony NEX-7, both lenses are very good indeed, excellent even, ..."
And from my point of view has i have both, there is nothing to compare in quality terms between this 2 lenses.
My conclusion : DXO MARK SCORE IS A JOKE !!

Re: Dxo mark score is a joke
Thanks for your interest in DxOMark.
Both focal are different. Performing a similar score for a 12mm compared to a 20mm is a pretty good result for the Zeiss Touit.
About the 12mm Zeiss Touit, you can check the 12mm comparison http://www.dxomark.com/index.php/Publications/DxOMark-Reviews/ZEISS-Touit-2.8-12-and-Touit-1.8-32-Sony-mount-lens-reviews-performance-at-a-price/ZEISS-Touit-2.8-12mm-vs-competition

Why not test legacy lenses on the NEX7
Most people are using adapters and old C/Y, Minolta, Canon and Nikon lenses on their NEXs.
I have been using the new Zeiss 135mm APO and it is the first lens that really pulls everything out of the NEX sensor.
Your resolution results for the cheap Sigma twins must be off - they score way better than what your score indicates. Do you manually focus them?

Re: Why not test legacy lenses on the NEX7

Unfortunately we do not measure lenses that need a specific adaptator for now (it would mean to much "exotic" possible combination).

Other lenses from SLR Magic and Samyang
I mainly take pictures with my SLR Magic Hyperprime 50mm f0.95 and with a Samyang (or in my case called Walimex) 35mm T1.5 (video edition, also available f1.4).
The whole Samyang line seems to be faster (there is also a 85mm 1.4 and 24mm 1.4) though a lot bulkier. Would be nice to read a test of one of those lenses.

Prefered lenses for Sony NEX 7

This a comment for this page on the website

With Nex 7, my favorite are the 2 quoted "best" here:
Sony Zeiss E 24mm 1.8 and Sony E 50mm 1.8 OSS
I'm also almost happy with Sony E 10-18mm 4... (Not mine. I usually travel with my Voigtlander 12mm).
I like to use some good old Canon FD lenses too like Canon FD 85mm 1.2L, Canon FD 80-200 4L and also, for macro work, Canon FD 50mm 3.5 Macro.
Although more difficult to use (manual focus), they produce excellent results with Focus Peaking and Focus zoom help. The zoom optical quality is, for me, on a par with Canon EF 70-200 2.8L IS on a Canon body... without the size and weight! The 85mm provide exceptional OOF blur and Bokeh and also remains quite compact. And the macro, with or without bellow, does a very good job.
I also sometimes shoot birds and wildlife with Nex7 + Canon EF400mm 5.6 x1.4 (on a good tripod !). This combo has longer "reach" for almost static subjects than my Canon 1DX with the same lens...

Full Frame Same Sensor Technology?
Your conclusion wonders "about the kind of score a full-frame DSLR would achieve with the same sensor technology as the Sony NEX 7". Is the Nikon D800 exactly that beast? When will you be testing this in comparison?
Added by Stephen123 | January 19, 2012
I'm unclear why you list "Indicative price (USD)" as 1720 since this camera lists and sells for 1350 with the kit lens and 1200 without. I noticed you have a similar (though less extreme) discrepancy on the NEX 5N.

What is the body material of the NEX-7?
The specs list on dxomark contradicts the manufacturer's claims.
The (German) Sony web page says the NEX 7 has a "magnesium body", whereas dxomark describes the camera material as "Metal top plate, Polycarbonate".
Which one is correct?

Re: What is the body material of the NEX-7?
According to DPR
"The NEX-7's build quality is excellent - the metal-shelled body feels solid with no flexing or creaks, and the handgrip is covered with a thick rubberized coating"
So it's metal with rubberized covered handgrip.

What about depth of field?
I love DxO mark reviews but there is one area I remain unenlightened (perhaps in both theory and practice).
My understanding is that lens diffraction will result in loss of detail (resolution) at f-stops higher than a mathematically determined point based on pixel pitch.
If I've got things right an APS-C sensor at 16MP does not suffer diffraction until somewhere between F8 and F11, but at 24MP loss of detail begins somewhere between F5.6 and F8. A FullFrame sensor will, of course, do much better because pixel pitch is larger.
I would *love* to see DxO mark test this. Seems simple (to my possibly challenged little mind), just shoot resolution chart at successive f-stops and record where diffraction kicks-in and limits or reduces resolution. Might be hard to normalize as a number and integrate into overall score, but immensely helpful as a photographer to know for each camera where stopping down begins to trade off not only longer exposure but also loss of detail [probably negating any actual DoF improvement].
I mention this here of course because the Nex-7 vs. Nex5-N is a good place to care [what I really want to know is whether I get equal DoF AND better resolution from the N7, or that (at some F-stop) my equal DoF comes at the price of resolution]. So if I do a lot of high f-stop work to maximize DoF perhaps the Nex-7 doesn't actually give me better resolution? Even more interesting to compare FF to APS-C to get a sense of how much more DoF the FF can capture....
Hope my post isn't too clueless. In any event keep up the terrific work - DxO is a fabulous resource!

Added by ldgt | December 03, 2011
Re: What about depth of field?
In that aspect, the best possible sensor has only one pixel. Thus it does not lose any details regardless of f-stop. Only problem is, it had none details to start with. The same, but for lesser degree, goes for your comparison of 16 MP and 24 MP sensors.
DXomark results already include diffraction, it would be difficult (and meaningless) to exclude it because they measure real lenses.
If you need large DOF, and avoid diffraction limit at same time, TS lenses or TS adaptor result in a improvement. Picture stacking is another way. Pixel size, or sensor size has nothing to do with diffraction because it occurs within lens.

Diffraction is a function of the shape and size of the lens aperture. It's relation to sensors is in terms of size: a smaller sensor has to be magnified more to create an equivalent sized image; thus the circle of confusion is also magnified. As far as I know it's not related to pixel pitch.
Added by Stephen123 | December 28, 2011
Re: What about depth of field?
The circle of least confusion is the smallest spot that a lens can produce. Isn't the circle of least confusion effected by aperture? And doesn't it matter when it exceeds the pixel pitch? I think Bumpy has a good point.

SLT A77 Firmware Update & Next 7
The firmware for the Sony SLT A77 was just upgraded and one of the alleged improvements is better image quality. Since the Sony NEX 7 uses the same sensor as that of the A77, is it safe to assume that Sony will apply the same update to the NEX 7? If so will DXOLabs re-test the camera?
It's impressive to see the IQ of the tiny and convenient NEX-7 be so close to that of my Nikon D3X.

Best Uses
Comments about Vittoria Cross XM Pro Tire:
I've used the XM tires in close to a dozen races now as I've had these installed on my "B" cx bike and I've had frequent mechanicals on my "A" bike. These do what they're intended to do, grip in the slop. Due to the tread design they tend to slide through corners often but it is very controllable and progressive. These aren't good in the dry, but they're not really intended for it. I think they actually grip better in soft conditions than in dry conditions since the "paddle" treads can dig in and get some bite. They aren't fast rollers but again, not really their intent.
These are not good all-condition tires but they treated me well in muddy and wet races this season. Hardpack, short grass on hard pack, and pavement are these tires enemy. The softer the terrain the better. I have not run these through really heavy mud pits like "belgium mud" but they have been good in the wet clay and wet sand that we see a lot of in Michigan.
Best Uses
Comments about Vittoria Cross XM Pro Tire:
A lot of the serious racers use tubless, or tubular but I still use clinchers. This is a great mudding tire for the worst conditions imaginable. I was climbing slippry inclines that everyone else was getting off and running. If conditions are bad enough, reverse the rotation direction of the front tire so the arrow of the tread is pointing back toward yourself and the tire will catch the ground better on slippery stuff and lock you into place.
the tire says min 40psi but I ran them at 35 front and back no problem. i weight 190.

New album: Just Be Honest
Artist: Shannon LaBrie
Label: Zodlounge Records
Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars
The singer-songwriter market is as crowded as a grocery store on the eve of a hurricane. Even so, artists such as Shannon LaBrie continue to make really good records.
LaBrie's intimate, soulful vocals recall a less self-aware Fiona Apple. With vocal chops to spare, LaBrie is able to elevate good songs ("Lion's Cage," "Just Be Honest") into great ones. The musical backing on "Just Be Honest" has an old-school R&B flavor without feeling forced. The direct, Daniel Lanois-esque tones sprinkled throughout "I Remember A Boy" and "Slow Dance" hit the goose bump target with guitar straight out of the Edge's playbook.
"Just Be Honest" isn't all dreamy and ethereal, as the mid-temp funk of "How Does It Feel" and "Getting Tired" effortlessly demonstrate. The album as a whole may have played better if these peppier tracks had been shuffled to an earlier slot on the album, but aside from music critics and music nerds, who listens to whole albums anymore anyway?
The only problem Shannon LaBrie has is that she doesn't fit easily into a mold. The unholy Americana tag might be thrown at her, although she doesn't dress like she just tripped over Tom Joad. Mainstream rock is as dead as a hammer, so she should probably avoid that. Maybe there's room for her in the Norah Jones wing of the adult alternative market.
Wherever LaBrie lands, she has a great album to stand on with "Just Be Honest." Hopefully she'll be allowed to make another.
Classic album: Mickie Most Years
Artist: The Animals
Label: Real Gone
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars
Everybody knows The Animals had a massive world-wide hit with "House Of The Rising Sun" in the 1960s, but they also created several albums-worth of the best blues/r&b-influenced rock ever recorded.
Based around the howling vocals of Eric Burdon and fluid organ work of Alan Price, the Animals original 1963-66 run with producer Mickie Most is revelatory. Looking back on it now, it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to say the Burdon/Price model wasn't an early prototype of what Jim Morrison and Ray Manzarek would later cook up for The Doors.
Aside from a few rarities and bonus tracks, the bulk of "The Mickie Most Years" focuses on the albums "The Animals," "The Animals On Tour," "Animal Tracks" and "Animalization" ― all of which are four to five star releases in their own right. There's a bit of hoodoo regarding which songs were originally on the British releases vs. their American counterparts, but it's inconsequential.
These albums contain "House Of The Rising Sun," "Baby Let Me Take You Home," "We Gotta Get Outta This Place," "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood," and the group's masterpiece "Inside Looking Out." Mixed in with the aforementioned hits, The Animals tear into covers of John Lee Hooker, Sam Cooke and Chuck Berry material that doesn't mimic the originals but are awe inspiring in their own right. To put it bluntly, Eric Burdon could scare the white off rice when he wanted to.
With rare exception, Animals compilations throughout the years have been either ill-conceived or hampered by legal red tape. Even "The Mickie Most Years" has one flaw that keeps it from getting a full five-star rating: The absence of The Animals 1966 album "Animalism." True, "Animalism" was produced by Tom Wilson and not Most, but it's inclusion is essential to paint a true portrait of the original Animals run.
Until somebody figures out how to pull "Animalism" into the mix, "The Mickie Most Years" is without a doubt the best Animals compilation on the market. Those $10 single-disc "best of" collections at Target and Walmart look enticing, but it would be the equivalent of only looking at the Mona Lisa's forehead. Work through a few lunches and get the real thing.

Detailed Itinerary
Depart from origin. If you are commencing your journey from the United States, we can recommend the best airlines and routings for your particular needs. We can also introduce you to consolidators who offer discounted fares (First, Business and Economy) on these flights. This is a service provided solely as a convenience and extra value for our guests. We do not sell airline tickets to people not touring with us.
1. Extensions can be facilitated to include more days and/ or other destinations.
2. This itinerary will need to be adjusted for the Taj Mahal's closure on Fridays.
Day 1: Arrive at Delhi. You are greeted at the airport by an Easy Tours Travel Facilitator or your Tour Director, and ushered to a chauffeur driven vehicle. You are then driven to your hotel where you are assisted with your check in. The next day's plans are briefly reviewed and you are presented with your welcome package. Among other things, this package includes a beautiful handcrafted journal for your explorations, travel documents such as your air tickets and hotel vouchers, as well as copies of documents (such as our General Travel Guide) that were sent to you earlier.
Day 2: Delhi. Start your exploration of India with a guided city tour of Old Delhi. If you did not meet him the previous night, you will be introduced to your accompanying Tour Director this morning. Drive, walk and ride through the ancient city's streets and alleys; explore crowded and colorful bazaars. This excursion includes an exploration of the Jama Masjid (1650 AD), the largest mosque in India. The Masjid (Mosque) is a magnificent example of Mughal architecture and is constructed of red sandstone and white marble. It is an active place of worship and its courtyard can hold 25,000 worshippers. You continue on to the amazing Red Fort that was finished a decade before the mosque. Both structures were built by Shah Jahan, the emperor that created the Taj Mahal. The great city inside the massive sandstone walls of the Red Fort offers visitors a large number of architectural and historical attractions; it was once known as the 8th wonder of the world. The Red Fort was the seat of the Mughal Empire for more than two hundred and fifty years and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is an amazing example of a blend of Persian, Indian, and European architecture. You will also experience a fascinating rickshaw ride in the ancient alleys of the crowded and colorful bazaar at Chandni Chowk. After these experiences a short drive will deliver you to an oasis of calm and serenity, which also happens to be your last destination in Old Delhi. The cremation site of Mahatma Gandhi (Raj Ghat) is a simple yet stirring memorial to the father of the nation. Lush lawns extend beyond the enclosure that surrounds the black marble platform occupying the spot where the Mahatma was cremated. An eternal flame burns next to the platform.
There is a break for lunch.
Afternoon – enjoy a city tour of New Delhi. This excursion begins with the awe-inspiring Qutab Minar (1193 A.D.). This 239 ft tall medieval tower is a symbol of victory and a beautiful example of Persian architecture from that period. There is a winding stairway inside the tower that goes up all the way to the balcony at the very top of the tower – unfortunately they are no longer accessible for visitors. The Qutab Minar and its Monuments are also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Within the Qutab complex, amidst the ruins of the Quwat-ul-Islam Mosque, stands one of the legendary Ashoka Pillars. This large iron pillar has withstood the ravages of Delhi's weather (and recent pollution) and has not rusted in over 1500 years. After the Qutab complex you will be driven to visit the magnificent tomb of the Mughal Emperor Humayun. Delhi has such an abundance of amazing monuments that this Tomb Complex (1562 A.D.) does not quite get the acclaim that it deserves. It is Delhi's third UNESCO World Heritage Site and its amazing architecture and the elaborate gardens will captivate you.
From the tomb you will proceed on a drive to Lutyens' New Delhi. Time permitting, this drive will include photo opportunities at some of the following attractions - the exterior of the massive and awe-inspiring Rashtrapati Bhawan (known as Viceroy's House during the British era), Delhi's landmark structure India Gate, a golden domed Sikh Temple (Bangla Sahib Gurudwara), & the Birla Temple. The last part of this excursion is a drive through Connaught Place, which is New Delhi's downtown.
Day 3: Delhi – Varanasi. You are assisted with your check-out from your hotel and driven to the airport. You are assisted with boarding the mid-morning flight to Varanasi. You are greeted at the Varanasi airport and driven to your hotel where you are assisted with your check-in.
Afternoon - Experience a city tour of Varanasi that includes visits to some of the ancient temples that lie along the banks of the holy river. You will walk through the narrow lanes and through the crowded bazaars to discover a way of life that has not changed much over the past few millenniums.
Sunset cruise on the Ganga – Two of the highlights of your time in Varanasi are the sunset and sunrise cruises on the Ganga. You can float your own oil lamps while you watch the ancient prayer and oil lamp ceremony at sunset. Your boat enables you to enjoy a great view of the hundreds of lamps as they are sent floating on the holy river.
Varanasi is famous for silk weaving.
Day 4: Varanasi – Khajuraho. Start your day with an early morning boat cruise on the Ganga. The best time to visit the Ghats is dawn as that is when the pilgrims take their morning dip. It is also the ideal opportunity to experience some of Hinduisms ancient and iconic rituals. The most famous Ghat is the Dasadwamedh Ghat and that is where we begin this tour. You can simultaneously witness the ceremony of a recently deceased Hindu's ashes being immersed in the river while, nearby, another Brahmin priest orchestrates the naming ceremony of a newborn. Just like the previous evening, your boat offers an excellent view of all the activity on the Ghats – women bathing discreetly while still wearing their sarees, priests offering prayers as they immerse themselves in the holy water, men that are oblivious to their surroundings as they practice yoga or meditate on the banks of the Ganga.
Return to your hotel to freshen up and pack.
Late morning - You are assisted with your check-out from your hotel and driven to the airport. You are assisted in boarding the flight to Khajuraho. You are greeted at the Khajuraho airport and driven to your hotel where you are assisted with your check-in.
Start your guided tour of the famed temples, which are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. These magnificent examples of Hindu religious art were constructed about a thousand years ago. Thousands of extremely detailed rock sculptures adorn the facades of these temples and the subject matter includes some very explicit erotic scenes. The sophisticated design and building techniques that were used in the creation of these temples and the detailed artistry of the sculptures cannot be described in words – you have to experience them personally to grasp their impact. You have the option (no charge) of attending the sound and light show at the temples in the evening – it is hard to understand and not impressive by western standards.
Day 5: Khajuraho - Agra. You are assisted with your check-out from your hotel in the morning and then driven to Orcha. There is a break for a late lunch (included) on arrival at Orcha. After lunch you will enjoy an exploration of the magnificent ruins at Orcha. The archeological treasures of Orcha were built between four and five centuries ago by Hindu kings that ruled this area. After your exploration of the ruins you are driven to nearby Jhansi and assisted in boarding the express train to Agra (6:10 pm - 8:38 pm). Your Tour Director assists you in getting seated in your assigned seats and gets your luggage ported to the appropriate location above your seats. Your Tour Director provides you with a detailed itinerary of the trains schedule so as to make you comfortable with every step of the journey. Refreshments are served by Indian Railways during this journey – we recommend that you refrain from consuming these, except for the bottled water. You are greeted at the railway station in Agra and driven to your hotel where you are assisted with your check-in.
Agra's artists are famous for their creations in inlaid marble.
Day 6: Agra. You now start your exploration of Agra with a half day city tour of the magnificent monuments of this city. As you exit your hotel you will be greeted with a short folk music and dance performance by a local artist troupe. The exploration of Agra includes a visit to the famous tomb of Itmad-Ud–Daulah. This memorial was built by the Mughal Emperor Jehangir's queen as a memorial to her father. The tombs sheer beauty will surprise you – the only reason it does not get more accolades is because it shares the stage with the incomparable Taj Mahal. Like the Taj it has amazingly intricate 'Pietra Dura' inlay and lattice marble screens. The mausoleum rests in a walled garden with a view of the river Yamuna. Constructed in the year 1628, most historians believe that its design provided the inspiration for the Taj Mahal. After your exploration of the tomb you will visit the first red sandstone fort of North India, the Agra Fort. It was built in 1565 by India's greatest Mughal ruler, Emperor Akbar. Its royal audience halls, immense stone courtyards, marble mosque and the private royal chambers give us a glimpse of the grandeur of the Mughal Empire.
There is a break for lunch.
Afternoon - Visit one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the incomparable Taj Mahal. The world's greatest monument dedicated to love is obviously a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Taj Mahal was completed by Emperor Shah Jahan in 1653 AD as a memorial to his beloved queen, Mumtaz Mahal. This spectacular white marble mausoleum was created by about 22,000 skilled craftsmen and it took twenty two years to complete. When you experience the Taj Mahal with an Easy Tours Guide and have them provide unique insights into its innumerable facets, some of their passion for this masterpiece may rub off on you! Explore the amazing Taj and its surroundings until it is time to admire the sun's rays setting on the façade of the world's finest monument.
Day 7: Agra – Ranthambore. You can either sleep in or chose to enjoy either of these two optional (no charge) excursions - a sunrise visit to Mehtab Bagh, which is a 500 year old Mughal garden located across from the Taj Mahal on the other side of the Yamuna River; or a sunrise visit to the Taj Mahal. If you select either of the latter options, you will return to your hotel to freshen up after the excursion. If you did not meet him the previous night, you will be introduced to your accompanying Tour Director this morning; we recommend that you consider getting a packed lunch from the hotel for your journey. The dining/rest stopover during the journey offers limited choices.
You are assisted with your check-out from your hotel and then you are driven to Fatehpur Sikri. Enjoy a guided exploration of this beautiful uninhabited city. It was built by Emperor Akbar between 1570 and 1585 and is constructed primarily out of red sandstone. The Emperor moved his capital from Agra to this city and then, a few years later, abandoned it, returning back to Agra. Visit the tallest gateway in the world, the towering Bulund Darwaza (The Gate of Victory). In the northern part of the courtyard is the superb white marble tomb of Shaik Salim Chishti, built in 1570.
Continue on with your journey to Jaipur.
Afternoon – enjoy a city tour of the walled city of Jaipur, including the magnificent City Palace. Visit Jantar Mantar (UNESCO World Heritage Site), the magnificent stone observatory built by Raja Jai Singh in 1728. After the observatory comes a photo opportunity of the 'Hawa Mahal' (Palace of the Wind). This intriguing facade was built in 1799 so that the ladies of the court could use its unique windows and observe the bustling bazaar, without being visible to the people on the streets. Continue the tour with an exploration of the City Palace, the former royal residence (a part of it is still occupied by the Royal family and is not accessible to the public), built in a blend of Rajasthani and Mughal architectural styles. This immense complex also houses a number of museums that offer a large and impressive collection of miniature paintings, costumes, and armory.
Jaipur is famous for its carpets, jewelry & handicrafts.
Day 8: Jaipur. Start your day with an excursion to Amber Fort & Palace, located 12 kilometers from the center of the City. Just like the Emperors of a few centuries ago, enjoy the ascent up to the ramparts of the fort on top of a colorfully caparisoned elephant (jeeps are available instead of the elephants, if you so desire). The massive Fort complex was originally built by Raja Mansingh and is one of India's finest examples of Rajput architecture. Explore the chambers and hallways, which are famous for their exquisite designs and handcrafted embellishments. Return to the valley beneath the Fort on your elephant or jeep and proceed back to the Pink City.
There is a break for lunch.
Afternoon – You are at leisure this afternoon to explore the fascinating city of Jaipur on your own, or to enjoy the facilities at your hotel. Your Tour Director can make suggestions and recommendations to suit your preferences.
Evening – You can either choose to enjoy your hotel this evening, or visit the home of a Rajasthani Nobleman and enjoy a traditional dinner with members of the family.
Day 9: Jaipur – Jodhpur. You are assisted with your check-out from your hotel in the morning and then you proceed on the drive to Jodhpur. Arrive at Jodhpur and you are assisted with your check-in to your hotel.
There is a break for lunch.
Afternoon - Proceed on a half day city tour of Jodhpur. The tour begins from the fifteenth century Mehrangarh Fort. This formidable hilltop fort is arguably the most awe inspiring in Rajasthan, a land of impressive hilltop forts and palaces. Entry to the massive fort is through a series of seven great gates, with the main entrance being the huge Lohapol, which literally means Iron Gate. Next to this gate there are 15 hand prints in the wall, the Sati Marks of Maharaja Man Singh's widows. These hand prints were etched into the wall by the queens just prior to them throwing themselves upon his funeral pyre in 1843, as the besieged fort was about to be conquered. Inside the fort is a collection of some of the finest palaces and galleries, including, Moti Mahal (Pearl Palace), Sukh Mahal (Pleasure Palace), Phool Mahal (Flower Palace), Elephant Howdah Gallery, Palanquin Gallery, the Armory, the Turban Gallery, and the Folk Music Gallery. The Daulat Khana houses one of the world's finest collections of Mughal Art.
On your way back to your hotel you will stop for a tour of Jaswant Thada, a marble cenotaph built in 1899 as a memorial to Maharaja Jaswant Singh II.
Day 10: Jodhpur – Udaipur. You are assisted with your check out and you proceed on the drive to Ranakpur. Arrive at Ranakpur around noon and enjoy a guided excursion to the awe-inspiring Jain Temple Complex. You will be amazed by the famous 15th Century marble temple that is still an active place of worship. The main temple's twenty nine halls are supported by fourteen hundred and forty four massive yet intricately carved marble pillars, and no two are of the same design. There is an abundance of exquisite sculptures and friezes and the enormous scale of the monument and the exquisite details of its design have to be experienced to be believed.
Lunch is included at Ranakpur this afternoon.
Continue on the drive to Udaipur after lunch. This is one of the most picturesque drives in all of India. As you go through the Aravali hills there will be photo opportunities of village life and livestock, including many camels. Arrive at Udaipur in the late afternoon/early evening and you are assisted with your check-in to your hotel.
Udaipur is famous for its artists and paintings, including exquisite miniatures.
Day 11: Udaipur. Proceed for a city tour, including a tour of the fabled City Palace. At this Palace complex, explore the beautifully decorated rooms with thousands of exquisite, handcrafted mirrors that cover the walls, the ancient ivory doors that are a dark reminder of royalty's passion for hunting, the brightly colored glass windows, expansive inlaid marble balconies and the unique peacock courtyard. Enjoy a private tour of the amazing Crystal Gallery which houses the world's largest collection of priceless crystal. Marvel at pieces like the complete bedroom furniture set in crystal, discovered recently in a store room in the palace. There are amazing views to be had from this structure, especially of Lake Pichola, the Lake Palace hotel and Jag Mandir.
After your tour of the City Palace you will visit the historical Sahelion-ki-bari gardens and the local Museum.
Late afternoon/Early evening: Enjoy a cruise on Lake Pichola and visit the historical and beautiful monuments at Jag Mandir Island (if available – the royal family at Udaipur will occasionally rent out the island for large celebrations and on those occasions the island cannot be visited by tourists). Bid farewell to your Tour Director this evening.
Day 12: Udaipur – Delhi - International Flight. You are assisted with your check-out from your hotel and then you are driven to the airport where you are assisted with boarding your flight to Delhi. Upon your arrival at Delhi you are greeted at the airport by an Easy Tours Facilitator & your chauffeur. This is a good time to do some last minute shopping and/or sightseeing if you are so inclined.
Your vehicle and chauffeur stay with you until your (usually late evening) assisted check in at the airport. If your flight departs early in the morning you may want us to arrange a room for you so you can rest.
Our services end at Delhi airport.

I think we're in almost 100% agreement here.
So tell me about the 'almost'. What remaining reservations are preventing you from 'renouncing truth and all it's works'? I still want both you and SC. And with you onboard I could devote more attention to him.
Because I find the concept of truth, suitably qualified (e.g., in mathematics) to be valid. Also, I don't think that all knowledge claims can be reduced to rational empiricism, at least as it is understood today. Going with Socrates (at least in Plato's version) I think that whatever would pass for "truth" in a more metaphysical sense can't be expressed in language, but can be experienced. As I see it, this points to a form of knowing that goes beyond rational empiricism (although based on personal experience) but which often cannot be taken beyond the personal. The theologian Robert Forward called this "knowing by identity," that is, knowing a state by becoming identical with it. Having had an experience, non-conceptually, however, the tendency for people is to try and put it into some linguistic form thus limiting it and making it no longer "truth" (unless we're talking about sudden flashes of illumination that can be tested by other methods). This means that whenever one has some sort of non-conceptual metaphysical type experience the first thing required is to test the realization arising from the experience against reason and empirical data. In cases where these tests can't be carried out, it reduces to evaluation by effect on you. An example in this forum is Bruce Burleson, who at some point in his life had a personal experience which he interprets as an experience of Jesus. By putting a name on it, he confines himself to being a Christian (a delightful one, as it happens) and so has removed himself from the "truth" but retains a connection to it via the verbal linkage provided by the word "Jesus" as a pointer. So I can consider Bruce's experience as valid—for him—because it appears to have produced beneficial effects in his life. That doesn't make it valid for me, a point which Bruce, bless his heart, recognizes.
That being said, I do carry out many of the actions that you suggest, pointing out counter-examples to claims of absolute truth made in my presence (a habit I picked up from my dad), writing the occasional letter to newspapers, etc., emphasizing the importance of reason and experiment in my scientific reasoning course (rather than, as in most such courses, simply assuming it), and making relevant points in papers written for publication.

Morning Schedule:
Ski Day:
APRÉS PARty:
Your heli-ski day ends at the Bearfoot Bistro for the video après party. Guests arrive back in Whistler between 2:30 and 5:00 (depending on weather and number of runs). The video party starts 30 minutes after the first group arrives and plays several times so everyone can watch their epic powder turns! Feel free to invite your friends and family to join you there for the après party. All orders for videos and photos, as well as payment for extra runs, are processed at the après location
ski attire
Your ski attire should be very similar to what you would wear for a day on Whistler or Blackcomb Mountains. The modern ski clothing of breathable, water-resistant, and windproof materials is very good. The layer system is best but avoid the temptation to over-dress. Goggles, gloves, and a hat are a must, and sunglasses and sunscreen are necessary on sunny days in the spring. A wool or fleece hat is better than a baseball cap, which can be blown away by the helicopter. The Whistler Heli-Skiing Store carries a good selection of top-quality ski wear, powder gloves, and ski accessories.

this is going to be amazing! but why did they announce this before may 19th?
this is going to be amazing! but why did they announce this before may 19th?
It should be a great addition to CityWalk and the resort itself. I know that I'll end up checking it out at least once.
Love the concept. Can't wait.
That article's got blue balls.
1) Glad there are 2 course, and each will be themed differently.
2) What a terrific theme idea. Really, really love the premise, and Universal will pull it off spectacularly.
3) Love that it says "late night" play.
4) I cannot WAIT to play it.
Now the debate begins!
What of Valet?
They announced this before to the buisiness journal, which normally doesn't get too much play to the mainstream public, it may still be part of the announcement.
Nevermind, I just noticed they posted it on Facebook

~ 2009 TomTom Holiday Intentions Survey ~
1 July 2009 - Millions of people intend to have a UK staycation this year with the greatest drop in numbers going abroad for their main holiday coming from the North of England. And more people don't intend to take a holiday at all.
Last year, 43% of the entire population of Great Britain took their main holiday abroad with slightly less than a quarter having a staycation in the UK. More than 50% of people in the North West left the country for sunnier climes, with only slightly less people from the North East, Yorkshire, Humberside, Scotland and the South East/East Anglia (44%) joining their ranks. With 37% packing their bags for their foreign travels in Wales, the West and the East and West Midlands, it was left to Greater Londoners to top the poll with over half taking their main holiday overseas.
TThis year, by contrast, there is a drop of over three million people (-8%) intending to go abroad for their main holiday (only 35% nationally). 29% intend to take their main holiday in the UK, an increase of nearly two million (+5%). And 36% don't intend to take a holiday at all this year - an increase of over one million people.
Regionally, only 37% intend to go abroad for their main holiday in the North West, a drop of 13%, with Scotland down by 7%, South East/East Anglia down by 8%, Wales and West down by 3%, North East, Yorkshire and Humberside down by 13% and the East & West Midlands down by 7%. With the greatest number, 51% in Greater London (down by 3%) still intending to leave UK shores.
On the upside, 59% of people surveyed across the nation said they thought that they would save up to £1000 by staying in the UK for their main holiday rather than if they went abroad, with 9% saying they thought they would save more than £1000.
Perhaps as a result, of those who are planning to take a short UK break this year, a whopping 88% of people said they were planning between one and three short breaks in the UK this year - and a final 12% said they would be taking more than that.
Damian Woodward, VP for TomTom UK and Ireland, makers of sat nav devices for the car who commissioned the survey* of over 1000 GB adults, said, "Because people are having to tighten their holiday budgets due to the economic climate, we decided to launch a Ticket 2 Drive promotion in the UK, for the very first time. It gives people over 1,500 discounts and 2for1 deals on sports and leisure activities, hotels and spas. We aim to give people reasons to be cheerful on UK holidays this year, despite the credit crunch!"
The traditional pursuits of playing I-Spy (11%), reading a book or drawing (1%) largely got the thumbs down by parents when asked what was the favourite way of passing the time with their children on long car journeys, in favour of listening to the radio or car stereo (44%), having a conversation (23%) or singing together in the car (14%).
There were still worries about the British weather, however, with 71% always packing too much when taking a UK holiday to prepare for any type of weather they are likely to encounter. But an overwhelming 91% said that being together with their family was what they most looked forward to about a holiday in the UK.
However, the biggest cause of arguments when setting out on a UK holiday in the car was getting lost, the kids making a noise and trying to read a map. Kids arguing, being restless and bored as well as disputes about who is going to do the driving were remarkably low down on the list with 9% claiming that they never had arguments!
"Whether people are staying at home or going away, people tell us that their TomTom's help them to check on traffic jams, petrol prices and most importantly, the best driving routes saving them time and money, reducing stress, helping them and their families to remain safe on the roads," added Damian Woodward.
47% of dads planning to take a break in the UK said that the best way to keep the kids amused on UK holidays is visiting a theme park/zoo.

The Ph.D. program in Audiology provides the student with a strong theoretical background and research competencies in communication processes and/or disorders.
|Official transcript(s), GRE, goal statement and two letters of recommendation.
|Au.D.: The curriculum is a continuous 48-month post baccalaureate course of study designed to integrate classroom, laboratory and clinical experiences. All students attend full-time and take the same courses in appropriate sequence. The emphasis of the program is on the principles and practices underlying evaluation, treatment and provision of hearing care services.
For progression and graduation, students must meet the following degree requirements:
Specific school requirements include completion of 45 semester hours of precandidacy graduate work beyond the master's degree and acceptable performance on a written and oral comprehensive examination.
Students who have not completed a master's thesis are required to complete and defend a research project prior to taking their comprehensive examination.

|Students may be admitted to the Ph.D. Program on a part-time basis; however, students must also meet a residency requirement of two consecutive semesters of fulltime enrollment prior to acceptance into candidacy.
After completion of coursework, students take the candidacy examinations, consisting of both written and oral portions. The written portion entails 16 hours of writing on material studied within the major and minors. The oral portion occurs two to four weeks later and can cover information on any topic in addition to those covered on the written portion. Successful completion of these examinations culminates in "admission to candidacy" and allows the candidate to begin work on the dissertation.
|Although competence in reading a foreign language is not universally required of all students in the College of Education, Health, and Human Services, it may be required where the dissertation research demands it.

My husband found this product when we were on a trip (he actually purposed while we were there). We can't find it in stores in the US anywhere but we found it here!! Product was exactly as described and now we can remember that special trip all the time!! It smells amazing but is not overpowering - my allergies prevent a lot of purchasing because I can't be around the smell but this one is perfect!!
