As you know two months ago I launched a small beta version of my eBay search and notification tool named Slidoo.com. I did this because I wanted to have a reliable track of the stuff I search on eBay. I spent a lot of time on fixing bugs and speeding up the search. Now, if you want to know what Slidoo is and how it works I created this Cartoon How To: https://www.slidoo.com/page/how-it-works. I hope it’s funny and clear enough to make you understand how it works!
I make you some examples of searches I saved to get notified on great ebay deals:
Sony RX100 US search (Click here). This helps me to get notified when the RX100 is available for less than $599 (actual price on Amazon is $648).
Sony RX100 US search (Click here).
In the settings you can change the country and this for example is the Sony RX1 search for Europe (with Germany as primary choice).
Again, you have to login (you can use facebook and twitter login too!) to save the searches and change your settings like country and notification method. Thanks!

its nice! what is the site coded with? use any framework?
i don’t like how slidoo always seems to change/limit my search location to “north america” by default, since i am not from the US and therefore worldwide would be my preferred option, is anyone else experiencing this problem?
also i sign in to slidoo with facebook but everytime i restart my computer i seem to have to re-log in again, is there a way for me to only sign in once and it remembers me?
nevertheless, its a very helpful tool 😀 thanks

I´m having the same problem, I´m currently living in Russia but Slidoo puts NA as default.
Genius….. really! I hope this get picked up by Ebay itself soon and offers you the big $$$!

This might become THE Canikon killer feature. Dual sensor dual translucent mirror EVF with no VF blackout during primary sensor readout. EVF gets reading from a secondary sensor. Sports/Action/Wildlife photographers will surely find this very useful. Or, at least for those who can tolerate an EVF.
The main issue will be how they are going to deal with the limited amount of light. One part of the light will be taken by the translucent mirror as usual but the light taken is further divided between AF sensor and secondary imaging sensor. Maybe they will drop one of the mirrors and use an enhanced version of the on sensor AF. The secondary sensor’s not going to need a lot of MP anyways, given the res of current EVF.
Ah, now I understand what this arrangement is good for.
It’s (just) for always having the EVF picture, even during exposure, right?
Or are there other benefits?
So part 141 is for autofocus, 130 is the dedicated sensor for the EVF and 120 the regular sensor.
Yea. It’s the only benefit and I’d say it’s a pretty big one. It’s still an advantage that rangefinder users (leica users) refer to and I can totally understand that. Imagine, you’ll be looking through your lens all the time, no blackout, no preview, no lockup, no nothing. No more storage space clogged up with motordriven images.
