An excellent multi-disc player!
on October 24, 2020
Posted by: prof2000
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was very fortunate to be able to get this multi-disc CD player -- good ones are very hard to find these days at a reasonable price. I obtained this as an "open box" item, advertised as in "Excellent" condition. It was as advertised - it appeared someone had opened the box, and peeled away some of the soft wrapping, but otherwise appeared brand new, and never used. All the accessories were still sealed in their bags, and the manual also sealed in its bag. The player is excellent! I ran it through its paces. Everything worked well, and it sounded great! It is a large device -- 17in X 17in X 5in, and heavy. I suspect the previous purchaser did not realize just how big this is. I sit it on the top of my stereo cabinet, with the turntable on top of it. I recommend this player most highly!

A Premium Compact Travel Camera
on August 26, 2020
Posted by: prof2000
Verified Purchase:Yes
This camera has all the features I have wanted for some time, and is within my budget. It is a premium travel camera that has a 1-inch sensor with 20-Million pixels, a very good Leica lens with a 10X optical zoom, and very good optical image stabilization. It comes equipped with a 3-inch touch-screen that allows a host of controls directly. It has very good automatic image control, that makes the camera very easy to use. It also allows one a host of means for manual control, and facilitates this with a control ring on the barrel of the lens and a dial on the top of the camera - and each of these can be user selected for different exposure controls. The camera is small and compact - easily placed in a jacket pocket. It is unintrusive - important for candid shots. I carry it with me on my daily walks, something I would not do with my larger cameras.
The attached photos of a deer family and of a cardinal were each taken at 10X optical zoom, with automatic image control. The camera was handheld, and indicate the quality of the optical image stabilization. The sun rise photo was taken at maximum wide angle, again with automatic image control.
Some accessories I would suggest include:
- SanDisk - Extreme PRO 128 GB SDXC Memory Card
- Case Logic - Era Camera Pouch
- Spare battery (DMW-BLG10PP)
- "Photographer's Guide to the Panasonic ZS100/TZ100" by

Keep the action going with the Xbox One Play & Charge Kit. Recharge while you play or afterwards, even when your Xbox is in standby. The long-lasting rechargeable battery fully charges in under 4 hours. Say goodbye to disposable batteries and having to swap them out in the middle of a game.

Great accessory for the Xbox One X!

Posted by: prof2000
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this as "Open box - Excellent" because it was unavailable new. It looked new to me! The only evidence it had been opened was the broken seal on the box. The contents looked like they had never been removed from the box. It has worked out very well for me. It takes about 4 hours to fully charge the battery, but once done I can use it about 2 hours a day for about two weeks. I purchased a 6 foot USB 3.0 extension cable so I could play while charging (I sit about 12 feet from the console) - and it works just fine!

I have been waiting for some time for this device to come back in stock. With the pandemic it has proven difficult to obtain a good thermometer. This device has proven to work extremely well for me. It is accurate, and takes a reading very quickly - in less than 6 seconds. In addition, it interfaces with your smart phone, and keeps a record of all your readings. I recommend it highly.

Excellent for the bedroom!
on August 9, 2020
Posted by: prof2000
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased the 8" model a year ago, and it was a no brainer to purchase this when it was offered on sale recently. I needed a unit with a large screen for use in the bedroom, that was easily readable with my glasses off. I use it regularly to play relaxing music or sounds to help me go to sleep. I can easily play music from local radio stations by issuing verbal commands, and instructing it verbally to turn off after a set interval. I recommend it strongly.

This pouch is an excellent fit for my new Lumix ZS100! It is spacious enough to provide room for the camera and its wrist strap. The outer pocket provides space for two spare batteries, a spare memory card, and the charging cable. The pouch provides protection from the weather, and is spacious enough to make removing the camera easy and quick - essential for taking candid shots in the wild and in urban settings. It is also small, making it inconspicuous while moving about - both in the woods, and in foreign cities.

I purchased this over a year ago to upgrade my system drive on my desktop PC - it used a 1 TB WD mechanical drive (5400rpm). Moving the system to the new SSD was easily accomplished using the Acronis True Image software (which I recommend strongly). With the new drive my PC seems to run like a rocket! I am very pleased with this drive, and recommend it highly.

I purchased this for my new Xbox One X. I want to be able to use it for Skype with family members from the comfort of my living room. Installation couldn't have been simpler - simply plugged it into an available usb port. When I brought up the Skype application, it recognized the camera and provided menus for the options I wanted to use. I was done with the setup in no more than 2 minutes. Both the image and audio provided by the camera are good, and provoked compliments from family members at the receiving end. For those looking for a moderately priced webcam to use for Skyping, it will be difficult to find a better choice.

5 out of 5Great retro style boombox
By Greg
I bought this boombox on a deal of the day for half price and it was worth every penny. I like the style. I was looking for a cassette player to play my old cassettes and it works great for that. I also like having the radio. So it gives everything I had on my old boombox from the 80s. But what sold me in this one was the rechargeable built in battery and ability to connect to other devices using Bluetooth or audio jack so I can use my MP3 player or phone with it. I also wanted to use an sd card with my favorite songs.
I definitely like this player a lot. From some of the reviews I was a bit concerned about the sound quality but It sounds good to me. I think it has good sound and it was better than I thought it would be from the reviews I read. It sounds good. It is not up to the high quality sound systems or theater sound systems but unless you need that it sounds great and sounds as good or better than any boombox I had before. It plays my music just fine.
Today we had a family get together and I was requested to bring it outside to provide the music. I Bluetooth connected it to my phone and played pandora through it. People were impressed and a few guests took turns connecting their phones to it to play their music through it and we had a number of people singing along. It proved to be a big hit with everyone and I was told by a few they were wanting to buy one also.

Pros:
Rechargeable battery lasts long.

Cassette player/recorder

Has Micro sd card reader To play mp3s or record to
Can take D batteries but will probably not need with the Built in rechargeable Battery
Has all sorts of recording options such as recording to the micro sd card From the radio which worked when I tried it

Cons:
- On mine the sound needles do not move. Not sure if mine is broken or if they just don’t work normally. This is not a major problem for me since they don’t affect my music but it would be cool to watch the needles bounce to the music.
- I love that the player has a mini sd card reader. However, there is no random song play option. It also does not have playlists so I basically have to always start at the same song and forward or reverse through until I find the song I want. If I need those options the workaround is to connect my phone or MP3 player to the unit and just play from them.

I have found that you have to crank the volume extremely high to see movement of the meters and the led lights. But even without the movement they give this item a great retro look.

I Was looking for something my husband could use to play all his old cassette tapes. That’s it. & that’s exactly what I got. Works great. Very functional & meets the need. However, We Realized after using it, that it would be nice if He could record the tape to digital through a USB or auxiliary plug; There are no other inputs on this device. But I wasn’t Looking for it originally so not the products fault.

It is possible to use the output from the earphone jack and an auxiliary cable connected to a computer to digitize your tapes! You can use the free software Audacity to do this. I've done it with my boombox.

I spent a long time going between this camera and the Canon G7 mkii. It was a really tough choice. I'm glad I chose the Panasonic. The picture quality is amazing n par with my Canon SLR. My only complaint is that it is hard to learn the features of this camera. I purchased a separate book to help me learn it.

4 out of 5Good lamp despite slow charging
By vnda
Battery takes a while to charge. Several hours. Light lasts a couple hours so it’s best to have it plugged in. Quality is good. Base is heavy enough to be stable on the table. Light is fairly bright and the 3 levels of intensity is good the light bar can be folded all the way down and allows a full range of positions. The arm tension is good as it is easy to adjust and doesn’t move once set. For the priceI paid it was a good deal. The only downer is that it takes so long to recharge. It your battery is depleted, you can’t use the light until the battery is partially charged. It will just turn off. At first I thought it was defective but the USB charge current is only 500 ma. I guess it can’t charge the battery and run the lamp at the same time.

The lamp is light and portable. It is bright and three levels of brightness. The downside is it takes at least a few hours to fully charge, and the charge does not hold very long. It can be frustrating when the battery is low and the supplied USB cable is not capable of providing enough power.

2 out of 5Well it looks good on paper:(
By BudsPro
Samsung's latest entry into the 8 inch class of tablets is unfortunately a bit short. This not a terrible tablet, but it is a low budget tablet. Initial price is too high. This tablet looks good on paper has 64GB ROM, 4GB of Ram, but the GPU performs poorly and the screen shutters from page to page, The screen refresh rate is poor. The wifi says its dual band and fast but did not perform well. The display is just OK. It does not have screen sleep when cover is closed. It cannot vibrate, and has no fingerprint sensor. This tablet will not do well with games. It does have a good battery, fast charging and USB C. It also has Android 11. It barely functions as a reader. With just a little more effort from Samsung and this could have been a decent successor to the TAB S2.

This is an excellent tablet for the price point offered. People complaining about this tablet seem to want a $500 tablet for under $200, but life doesn't work that way.
This is a really nice and very sturdy tablet. I LOVE the size, just small enough to throw in most jacket pockets, but big enough to work well as an e-reader or to watch video. This tablet does exactly what I want it to do.

5 out of 5Loved Tablet
By Angela
I have a light weight, touch screen, 360 degree laptop that came with a pen so I didn't think I needed a tablet for a few years. Until my I started to want something even lighter to watch videos on and take to college to write notes with.
I absolutely love my tablet! Writing with the pen feels really smooth and responsive. I love that it can turn my handwriting to text to make it easier to read since my handwriting can sometimes look like chicken scratch.
Watching videos or reading webtoons/ebooks is comfortable and resolution is great for me.
The only thing is that browsers seem to be slow, but that's something I can overlook.
After a year my tablet is still working great. I still watch most of my videos on it. I still love using it to write just about anything on it. Battery life is around 6-8 hours when watching videos. I hope it continues to work great for more years as I don't really enjoy changing or upgrading things that work great.
