hey what's up guys I'm Kay PhD here and I am finally back from Las Vegas Nevada which was where CES 2013 was held so it's good to be back obviously I feel like I'm the only one who didn't catch some kind of flu there but I guess that's good for me either way there was a lot of stuff that I took videos of at CES that I haven't uploaded that I didn't show you guys yet stuff that's just cool so if that was just there that I feel like would be cool to show on YouTube so without any further ado this is sort of an extras slash highlights video sort of a compilation of my experience at CES obviously has a one-man show it's kind of hard to go and see everything but this is the things that I got video of that I haven't shown you guys yet so without me further ado this is my highlight reel of CES 2013 this is a long video so sit back enjoy and thanks for watching alright so for those of you who don't know CES stands for the Consumer Electronics Show it happens every year in January and it son las vegas and this is the first year that i got to go and there's always a massive convention center filled with hundreds of thousands of exhibitors with huge names like canon and samsung and sony all the way down to the smallest case manufacturer i mean there's just a massive variety of things to see also there was a ton of people there more than a hundred thousand people so it helped to be taught to be able to find stuff if any way obviously the first thing the most notable surprise at CES was Nvidia's Tegra 4 based project shield portable gaming console this is about as close as I could get to the device right here I couldn't actually pick it up and mess around with it but judging by the hands-on videos we've seen around YouTube this thing looks pretty cool I'm excited to see the price and hopefully I'll get my hands on one when they ship for a review video and then there was Sony's Xperia Z this is one of those devices that I made a dedicated video about so that's linked down in the description below the like button on this video it's one of those flagship phones coming to the United States on a carrier this year with a 5-inch 1080p display and this seems like one of the latest smartphone trends it also has a quad-core processor a 13 megapixel camera and some other high-end specs it's water-resistant it's really tough and durable and it's handsome it looks like a great looking device another notable phone which actually showed on video was the huawei ascend mate now this guy obviously has a massive 6.1 inch 720p display which was the talk of the place at the time but it kind of blurs the line between smart phones and big you know big smart phones and small tablets but despite its size the mate is actually not Wally's flagship phone their flagship is the smaller H star ascend d2 which has a 5-inch 1080p display of course a higher resolution camera has a better processor etc so it's their real flagship and both of these guys have that quirky me UE skin on top of Android 4.1 jelly bean another cool phone which is a surprise was over in ZTE s both and this was a ZTE grand s it sported yet another 5-inch 1080p display so that's obviously a nice trend it also has a 13 megapixel camera around the back two gigabytes of RAM and a quad core processor and it's running ZTE s own skin on top of Android and this one doesn't actually look bad at all it's just you know very different from stock Android it's also available in about a trillion and a half colors it's a good-looking phone so if style is your thing this grand s is probably available in the color for you trust me they have a lot of colors also yes I spent some time with via boon to phone running on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus in Ubuntu booth I have super super high hopes for this OS as you can probably tell from my last video and from the demos at CES it did look a little bit smoother with the gestures and with the swipe actions that they were using from before CES so before CES it was a little bit choppy now actually watching him go through these things it looked pretty good obviously they still have a long way to go but it was good to see them on demo at CES TVs were everywhere at CES this was the big thing that we were looking out for the big thing this year was not 3d of course that was last year but the big thing this year was 4k now I'll stop there because I'm going to be doing a video about just this settle all the 4k stuff we're going to be seeing soon but if you only get one thing out of this video it's that 4k is amazing 4k content on 4k displays like 4k televisions it's just a tiny step below like looking through a window it's beautiful stuff so anyway stay tuned for that video we're gonna have fun with that one but yeah 4k TVs were everywhere and wowing just about everyone who walked past there were also quite a few cameras from the names like Canyon like I mentioned earlier Sony Nikon and even Samsung Samsung had another iteration of their smart camera on display this one with an interchangeable lens though I'm not sure how many other lenses will fit this mount but they do look similar to the Samsung Galaxy camera so I'll do want to try it out just to see if the quality has improved Nikon of course had a ton of their cameras on display and Austin from Duncan through 303 had a video about some of the new ones so I'll link his video down below some of the new point-and-shoots with really top-notch so check that video out and Nikon also had of course their Boston DSLR and lenses on display some crazy long prime lenses their high info forum bridey's there were there so you can just play around with them so they had all this high-end stuff that's probably out of the range of normal youtuber so I just had to mess around check out this burst shot from a full-frame exactly so canon also have their boss lineup on display with lenses so big they made the 5d Mark 3 look compact honestly but I mean they had everything high-end up there so they have the c100 they have the thousands of dollar video cameras this massive massive full-frame cameras and it was fun to just mess around with them I mean you can get a whole lot more out of your image sensor when you have just awesome glass on the front of it so they had as much glass on display as they could and I was fun to try out with Canon and speaking of the lenses check this out this is a Canon 600 millimeter lens cut in half you can see to where the glass elements would be inside the barrel of the lens the focus ring is zoom ring how all the things line up inside in the cross-section very cool stuff and also Canon had this tiny pocket camera on display this baby little thing with a touchscreen on the back that takes up the whole back it's an articulating display everything about it was tiny they call it the Canon Powershot N and this is actually coming to market super soon now something we're also used to seeing at CES is ultrabooks we all know you know this year was the year of Windows 8 ultrabooks touchscreen Windows 8 ultra books now I can never really grasp the idea of a laptop having a touchscreen considering just about every single one I have every used has wobbled when you touch it when you press the screen it wobbles backwards it's just a thing I don't know I don't use the touchscreens on these laptops but you know we'll see how these do and there were plenty of ultra ebooks running Windows 8 on display at the Intel booth what else did we see let's see cars we saw a lot of cars there was car tech all over CES both inside the cars and outside the cars they had Aston Martin's dodge vipers Tesla Model S all kinds of awesome cars and stuff with neat technology in them and outside of them and that's the reason that they're here so something I learned was at the gigantic magnificent 17 inch touchscreen inside the Tesla Model S is powered by NVIDIA and I'm a fan of car tech so all this stuff was fun and pretty new to see to me I've never seen this stuff in person so yeah and then there was this so I'll just let that sink in for a bit pretty awesome now Blue Microphones was also at CES and you guys may or may not already know I've been using the blue spark for all my videos for more than a year now so blue has a new micro debuting here it's called the Nessie after the Loch Ness monsters name very clever it has an articulating head a built-in pop filter volume adjustments on the stand which is neat and a headphone jack out for what I assume is live audio monitoring so this should make a neat addition to their lineup it comes in at a hundred bucks and it's actually coming very soon and of course CES is always full of all sorts of super awkward super alpha prototypes that almost mean nothing and kind of leave me wondering when does this ship when is this ship when is this ship when does this ship and when does this wait what and then there were the accessories let's see a giant clip-on lens for taking pictures on your iPad please don't buy this some super high quality games running on various devices and various platforms thanks to Nvidia's grid basically cloud gaming and very cool indeed also some lady that thinks everything is a touchscreen you I see this kind of stuff at CES even way I got to meet a lot of people youtubers writers internet personalities too many to name them all but CES was definitely a great experience a special thanks to James will and everyone over at mobile nations and NVIDIA who made this trip possible you guys are all awesome you know who you are and I have dedicated myself to going back to CES next year so I can see hopefully more awesome stuff in 2014 maybe I'll see you there too either way thank you for watching this super long video I made it for you guys if you made it this far in the video leave a comment about bacon thanks for watching guys and I'll talk to you in the next one
