Great for quick prints for parties and such
on November 17, 2020
Posted by: Robert116
Verified Purchase:Yes
Not perfect but a good tool for quickly getting portraits out to folks. I usually run it through Lightroom with my camera tethered and then can print a photo right after the client sees it. It can also be used for fund raisers possibly with a few props for the particular venue or charity so people have a quick souvenir to take with them after an event. You can also use it as a stand alone to print right from your phone or memory card. It has versatility. The prints have decent gamut of color and they are printed dry so there is no chance of smudges or running when giving them out. Overall a good quick printer and the only draw back is possibly the size of the print, you can only go to 4x6 which isn't bad but it's a little skimpy when you want to make an moderate impact visually.

Good wide angle for occasional use
on October 30, 2020
Posted by: Robert116
Verified Purchase:Yes
Not the top of the line lens but does do what you need it to do. I don't usually take those wide epic expanse shots so this was sufficient for what I wanted to use it for. It functions as it should and gets the job done. Crisp clean looking images and lots of real estate to compose the image with. Although for the beginner it's a little misleading since 10mm translates to 16mm on your crop sensor camera (APS-C) which this lens is specifically made for. Even at that focal length it has that wide angle you can use to get the inside of the cathedral all in. There is a little bit of distortion but that is to be expected and most software can adjust for that with the lens adjustment profiles. Overall a good lens for those occasional shots you want that are wide.

Just a slight upgrade
on October 5, 2020
Posted by: Robert116
Verified Purchase:Yes
Got this one on sale and needed a little upgrade boost for my older computer. It worked like a charm and I was bale to get a bigger and higher resolution monitor and have enough power to drive the graphics for my photo editing and everything else. Quick and easy swap from my old card to this new card. (bot NVIDIA) Everything continues to run fine with no glitches so far. Hoping it stays that way. This coupled with the new monitor was a great treat and so much wanted.

Great monitor for the money
on October 5, 2020
Posted by: Robert116
Verified Purchase:Yes
There is plenty of hype about which monitor is the best visually. Is it VA, IPS, TN? Well you know what there is probably a difference technically but for most uses any of the formats will work well. Unless you have a specific need for a specific type this monitor will work fine for what you use it for. I use it for photos and editing with Lightroom and Photoshop. This monitor is a bit of a wide gamut monitor, which I wasn't aware of, at least that is what my color calibration device and software told me. That is a plus for the photo community. It also provides me with more real estate to view my large megapixel images and lets me keep them sharp even when getting it tight to edit them. Overall it looks good and the 4ms refresh time isn't an issue for my needs and even if I watch a movie or trailers things look fine with no noticeable artifacts. As with anything this is something that personal preference will dictate how someone feels about the specifications but they really aren't that important in my opinion. As long as the monitor does what you need it to do and looks good it is good. The one small quirk I found was the refresh rate, you have to be sure to use the HDMI 2 port if that is how you're connecting it to get the 60hz refresh rate.

Great Camera for a great price
on June 20, 2020
Posted by: Robert116
Verified Purchase:Yes
Although not as good as a high end video camera it is a very good camera for the price point. Very easy to install and looks pretty decent when video conferencing with friends and family. The built in mic is a bit sensitive and can get very load if you're not careful with your software settings. If you need better audio it would be wise to get a stand alone mic which comes in many styles. Overall this is a good compact unit that suits the purpose for which it was intended. This one was so good this is the second one and I've had the first for many years (had to relocate it and needed another).

Good device and a nice upgrade
on March 22, 2020
Posted by: Robert116
Verified Purchase:Yes
Upgraded my bedroom first generation show to this one. It is a little bigger screen with a shorter height but it sticks out in back a little more. The one drawback I see with the device is the power cord. While it is nice that it is now detachable it could be better by getting a 90 angle plug in tip. The straight one that comes with it sticks out even further and seems to get in the way a little, at least where I have mine. The system is pretty much the same as the other ones I have but seems a bit more responsive and I noticed things are a little faster as well. Overall I would say it was a good upgrade.

Small, lightweight, easy to move around
on December 21, 2019
Posted by: Robert116
Verified Purchase:Yes
Needed some extra portable storage that was easy to store and move. This thing is great and now I am able to store all my photos so I can edit or use them on my desktop or my laptop. There are no moving parts so there is no chance the internal components will get harmed with moderate bouncing around even when files are being read or written. Happy that I was able to find this device and hoping it will hold up to the rigors of my day to day use! So far so good!

Great addition to the smart home
on December 7, 2019
Posted by: Robert116
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was a little skeptical when I first thought of getting these. I was pleasantly surprised after getting them and setting them up in my bedroom. My Alexa is my alarm clock to I connected the bulbs directly to the Alexa without having the need for the Phillips Hub. Once I got them connected which was pretty easy, had a fight with one but followed the direction on the Phillips web site and it worked like a charm, they were easy to control with the voice interface of the Echo Show Alexa! I never have to touch my lamps again. I have one on the wife's side and one on mine then have the two in a group. You can control each individually or both as a set. Whitest white is quite bright and you can dim them from 100% to 1% (there seems to be a little pulsing at anything under 10% I noticed). You can also change the color to whatever mood you're in and also at any level of brightness. Goes through the entire spectrum of white from 3200K to 6000K. The colors are anything in the rainbow and then some. The Alexa doesn't have the total range of color so that is a little limitation. It does have about a 30 color range. The Phillips app uses a color wheel with with the full sRGB range it appears so about 16.7 million colors (not that you'd notice some of the changes anyway). I'm not unhappy with what I can do with these in the realm of color and brightness!

Great item for the smart home
on December 7, 2019
Posted by: Robert116
Verified Purchase:Yes
I like this thermostat and it was easy to install. They look great on the wall and the neutral silver/gray frame matches pretty well and you can change the screen color to almost any shade and you can match the walls pretty close if you want to do that or just choose your favorite color. It works well with the app but it is a little limited when using it with Alexa. The skill that Honeywell wrote for the Alexa has a few things that are not as intuitive as they could be. I am also told there are things you can't do with voice but I haven't found anything yet. If you want the heat higher just say make it higher, lower then ask for lower. You can do what you can do by walking over to the thermostat on the wall so I guess that's what you need. I do have one other complaint and I am awaiting customer service to address the issue. The screen sometimes go to bright white even though I have it set to green. When it's in bright white it also doesn't dim so in the middle of the night there is a bright light streaming into my bedroom from the thermostat. You have to go to it and touch it and it is fixed, goes right back to green then dims in a few seconds. Small glitch but a little annoying. Still better than my old thermostats by a wide margin!!

OEM Ink great for the printer
on November 15, 2019
Posted by: Robert116
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is the canon ink for my canon printer and works very well making canon prints! All the colors you need for your printer are present and in separate ink cartridges which makes it more economical. You only need to change one in color when it gets depleted and not waste any other colors. You get exceptional images with the correct inks, not washed out looking and great contrast! Wish the ink tanks were just a little bigger for the price. They seem very small.

Simplify your drive with Garmin Drive 53, the 5~ GPS navigator that helps you reach your destination. It features a bright 5~ high-resolution glass touchscreen display and modern, beautiful design. With driver alerts, gain more situational awareness for sharp curves, speed changes, school crossings and more. Garmin Drive 53 shows food, fuel and rest stops along your active route. Make the most of road trips by checking the included Tripadvisor traveler ratings for top-rated restaurants, hotels and attractions. Use the U.S. national parks directory to find visitor centers and notable landmarks within the parks. The Garmin Drive 53 navigator also includes detailed map updates of North America. Not compatible with truck routes.
 

Does this GPS come with the charger?

It doesn't come with a charger it does come with a wire that plugs into your 12V socket in the car. If you want to charge it at home you can your any power adapter you have and the appropriate cord for the unit and it will charge. I find it's best to just use the power cable int he car and if I do need to take it with me for hiking or such It will be ready to go. To use internal power while mounted int he car isn't the best thing to do in my opinion. Hope that helps.

I have a watch band from my Galaxy 3, that I love. Will it fit the Galaxy 5?

I believe this is a 20mm wide band so if your Galaxy 3 has a 20mm band then it should fit this watch. From what I saw on Amazon some of the Galaxy 3 watches had 22mm wide bands so just be sure of the width of yours.

What is the square foot coverage of this router? Good for 2200 sq ft ranch home?

I have about 2000sqft with an open loft to the ground floor and it seems to connect well to everything except my thermostat and that is only 35-40 feet away in an area open between the router and thermostat. Not sure what that is about yet. Everything else works well. The more centrally located in the house the better it will be. I have a Echo dot in the garage and I get usable signal in the backyard if that helps.

Which wi-fi router or routers are compatible with the Motorola MB8600 32x8 DOCSIS 3.1 cable modem 1GB Ethernet?

Probably any WiFi 6 router will work with that modem or any modem. you'll have one ethernet cable coming from the modem going to the router WAN port and then you connect all your devices either wired or wireless to the router.

How many devices can be connected to this router at 1 time via Wifi?

Theoretically you can have 255 devices connected to any given router. I keep mine set for 140 just to have some spare room in case of new devices. If you have more devices that takes bandwidth and that is your enemy. Most places have high speed internet but there are also many places that don't offer that option. If you only have 10Mbps to share then you are limited more by that than by the router. There are also many other variables for speed and connectivity. The router will always be limited to 255 IP address.

Stock up on flexible storage with this five-pack of PNY Attach~ drives. Each unit holds 16GB of music, photographs or documents, with simple, fast transfers through a USB 3.0 port. These PNY Attach~ drives have collar caps that slide open to protect data while staying attached.
 

Are these bootable??? I'm trying to install Windows 10 from a bootable/transferable device onto a new pc

If you have data that is bootable the drive should be fine. It's not the drive booting it is the computer. As long as you have your BIOS or UEFI set to boot from a USB then if the software is found there it will boot.

Can I transfer a CD to a thumb drive

I use these for my music to play on my car stereo but you would have to change your CD's to MP3 or WMA files using a conversion software. If you are talking about DATA CD's then yes you can just copy the data to the drive as long as it doesn't go over the maximum capacity of 16GB in this case.

Is the 16nGB drive formatted to FAT 32?

The default formatting is FAT 32. Since I use them in my car stereo I usually don't format for anything else with these drives but the choices are there to format in NTFS and exFAT so I think you could probably use them if needed!

I use USB Flash Drives for my machine embroider designs. Is there danger of losing content due to failure? Do you recommend backing these up on a CD?

They work fine with my wife's Brother machine when she does embroidery and haven't had an issue where we lose data. With that being said I have lost data on all kinds of devices over the years and it is always prudent to back up your data in at least three places in my opinion (depending on the data of course).
