Good upgrade from standard Blu-Ray

This is a good upgrade from the 1080p version - better color and detail. Gary Oldman as Dracula is wonderful.

This works so well that I left my DSLR great at home for a European river cruise. Shot RAW and the results are great.

Enjoy brilliant color and sound with this Panasonic Ultra HD Blu-ray player. The chroma processing technology maximizes the color of 4K/HDR content, and the 7.1-channel audio output produces lifelike surround sound when connected to a home audio system. The color signals received by this Panasonic Ultra HD Blu-ray player are upgraded to produce natural textures and depth.

Great underwater but poor for walkaround use
on January 14, 2020
Posted by: DaveSp
Verified Purchase:Yes
This works great for underwater use but I got this camera to have a waterproof walkaround backup for poor weather conditions and I am disappointed with the image quality (IQ). By no means do I expect it to measure up to my DSLR but I find it much poorer than my Canon G7X Mk II. Big difference in megapixels (12 vs 20) but the Olympus exhibits a lot more noise, even at low ISO, and lacks sharpness. (I always shoot RAW to get the most out of the images.) Video - both in image quality and stabilization - out of my iPhone XS Max is also significantly better than the Olympus at the same highest quality setting. As a result, I won't be using this camera as a walkaround except when the weather calls for it - I'll stick with the Canon and iPhone for small device usage. Also, there is no lens cap and the Olympus options required because of the lens ring mount are outrageously expensive.

Great for my 12.9 Pro
on December 20, 2019
Posted by: DaveSp
Verified Purchase:Yes
I really like this keyboard case - works very well. Having the function keys is great. I was concerned about reviews saying it was hard to remove as I like to switch among cases but that that hasn't been an issue. It does add weight & bulk but the functionality far outweighs that for me. Very happy with the purchase.

Good machine, awful setup issues
on October 8, 2018
Posted by: DaveSp
from Seattle, WA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I like this unit now that it is up and working. However, I ran into problems during setup. I discovered that my Internet connection over 1GB wired Ethernet was 2-5Mbps. After hours of testing, I narrowed it down to two pre-installed services - Rivet Dynamic Bandwidth Management (CloudBees, Inc) and SmartByte Network Service (Rivet Networks). With these disabled, my Internet download speed is 175Mbps. I'm a retired S/W engineer with over 45 years experience and it took me a good deal of time to debug this and I still don't know why these caused the problem with this machine on my network. Given that uncertainty, I would be reluctant to recommend this to a friend.

This is not a laptop. It~s so much more. Meet Combo Touch, the keyboard case with trackpad that enables new levels of versatility with iPad Pro. Navigate and work in apps like never before with a new click-anywhere trackpad ~ our largest ever* ~ that gives you more space and allows for Multi-Touch trackpad gestures. SMART CONNECTOR technology helps to deliver an incredibly responsive trackpad experience and also makes powering and pairing the keyboard instant. Type comfortably for hours with laptop-like backlit keys that automatically adjust to your environment. You can always see what you're typing thanks to 16 levels of brightness. Enjoy convenient access to volume controls and more with a full row of iPadOS shortcut keys. The iPad Pro meets its aesthetic match with a slim, sleek design ~ the thinnest keyboard case we've ever designed with a trackpad.* The elegant woven outer fabric feels as great as it looks and the case is molded to fit your iPad Pro, protecting the front, back, and corners from scrapes and bumps. Your iPad Pro is held securely in place so you can have peace of mind that it won~t slip out and focus on what matters most ~ getting things done. *Compared to Logitech keyboard cases with trackpad released in 2020.
 

If I remove the keyboard and use it on my lap, will the kickstand support the weight of the 12.9 inch pro at an angle of about 30 degrees, and will it be fairly stable in this configuration?

Yes. The kickstand is pretty robust and stable with good tension keeping it in place.

Does the keypad need to be plugged in to charge? Or does it charge through the ipad?

Yes, it needs to be plugged in to charge. It does not use the iPad Smart Connector at all.
