It sounded good and the app was good but bugs

I wanted to like this soundbar. The height speakers worked well, the subwoofer was powerful and clear, the inputs and specs were great. But this has been out for 4 years and it has been broken with Switch surround sound for that long. I had the center and back channels drop randomly while playing games, only to be fixed by changing inputs. I'm not about to keep a $1000 sound system that can't even handle playing 5.1 surround sound correctly. I returned it and I'm pretty sure I'm done with Vizio. Everything I've ever owned from them had software issues. Good hardware let down by bar software development practices and/or bad management not investing in making their products usable.

More of a good thing, but oh the wait

Yes, we have a doubling of courses, but over two years. I'm glad I bought it but it's going to be a while before it feels like it's worth it. Unless you have a good reason I'd wait until you get more than 8 courses for $25. I'll get my money's worth, eventually!

So far, so excellent
on May 25, 2022
Posted by: DanInCO
Verified Purchase:Yes
I appreciate that this power bank can charge from as little as a phone charger or as big as a 20V USB C charger. It's a bit disappointing rhat the charge limit is 30 W instead of the 65 you can output, but that's probably going to help with longevity. A couple comments, one the charger comes with an E marked cable that can push up to 100 W. It's a little stiff but works well. If you need the full 65 W, you will need an emarked cable. Second, the USB A ports are plenty fast at 3A, but it's split between two, so plugging two devices in will make each port charge at half speed. Third, the heat at full 80 W usage is hot but not painful to touch. Just be careful about using it in a closed bag or something, it's going to build up heat if you keep it enclosed.

More than a novelty.
on February 12, 2021
Posted by: DanInCO
Verified Purchase:Yes
I thought this was going to be more of a novelty toy and collector item, but I can't stop playing it. The controls are great and there is no lag that I can tell. The sprites look very sharp on the small screen. Colors are more vibrant than the NES classic version, which may not be accurate but looks pleasing on the small screen. The only thing I wish for would be an alarm function for the clock. The clock is a novelty but it does come in handy to see how much I stayed up past my bedtime.
Probably not worth the money for everyone, but I think it's really neat and I've gotten more playtime out of trying to beat world 8 than many other full priced games I've bought.

Classic anime never looked so good
on September 25, 2020
Posted by: DanInCO
Verified Purchase:Yes
The audio is clean and punchy, the colors are vibrant and rich, the HDR highlights are well done, not too flat or overwhelming. If you like this movie, then this is by far the definitive version. I like the steel case too, definitely worth the extra $2. The code inside redeems at 4k on vudu. Well worth the price to see this influential anime in arguably better form than the initial theater release. A true reference version of a great film.

If your device has a USB C port, better sound
on September 25, 2020
Posted by: DanInCO
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is essentially an advanced USB sound card for less than $10. You would need to spend $150 to get something that is even slightly better. Seriously, it is incredible the dynamic range and power that comes from this. Tested on my laptop because I was unimpressed by the flat sound from the integrated audio. This doesn't work as well for android phones, I get low volume. But for pc, I have to keep it at 25-50% because it's so powerful. It may not be the most durable, but it's $9. Hard to argue about the value proposition even if it breaks in a year or two.

Excellent games, serviceable ports.
on September 25, 2020
Posted by: DanInCO
Verified Purchase:Yes
All of these games are one of a kind and truly examples of the best in controls and innovations for their era. It's just disappointing that there are some wrinkles that make these ports good but not great. Mario 64 is letterboxed, which I don't really mind but it would be nice to at least have the option to fill the whole screen. Sunshine looks great but occasionally drops a few frames, and is limited to 30 fps like the original. It's Galaxy that upsets me the most. There is color banding in the sky and on any "blooms" that was not present in the original and makes the game look worse and unpolished. Overall, I'm glad I bought the collection but it is missing the usual Nintendo polish, which is almost unforgivable for three of their greatest and most iconic games. Buy for the gameplay, by all means. But be aware of the shortcomings, at least until they maybe patch in some fixes for what I addressed.

Two Great Movies and One Good Movie
on May 15, 2020
Posted by: DanInCO
Verified Purchase:Yes
I'm a big fan of Nick Frost, Simon Pegg, and Edgar Wright. They made quite a splash 10 years ago with these movies, and for a good reason. Each one is enjoyable in its own right, but together they reference each other and have inside jokes going the entire time. As a 4k purchase, this isn't the best showcase of HDR or the higher resolution, but what does come across is the better detail (even from a lower resolution "master") and great colors and dark levels. Specifically, Hot Fuzz was hard to watch at times because some of the scenes were so dark in theatres and on Bluray. Now on UHD Bluray, you can actually see what's going on. The soundtrack is good, though I don't have DTS:X so I was just listening to the DTS track. The digital movies unlock at 4k on moviesanywhere, and there are Blurays included as well. The whole pack comes in one clamshell case with six discs. I was surprised how small it was for having two copies each of three movies.
Overall, I'm very happy to have seen these again at their maximum quality. Likely there will never be better versions of these released as they have about as much color and resolution available as is present. If you liked any of these movies, it's worth watching them together because of the in-jokes and the generally high quality of all of the films.

A great action game with plenty of replayability
on September 27, 2019
Posted by: DanInCO
Verified Purchase:Yes
This game is an amazing feat on the Switch. It looks great, runs well, and controls just like you would expect a Platinum game would. But beyond being impressive for the hardware the game is running on, it is also just a great game period. The story is relatively interesting, the game is plenty long, and replayability is extensive, with more difficulties available, plenty of hidden secrets along the way, and ranked battles giving you the ability to jump in and try to beat your last performance without redoing the whole mission. Overall, it's a blast and it actually looks pretty good on a big TV as well as in portable mode. If this is part of a trilogy as rumors have suggested, it is a great start.
There are multiple difficulty modes, so if you're not the best at action games you can still enjoy it. Controls are done pretty well but every button is used on the controller, and there are multiple modifiers as well. Probably not suitable for young children (maybe under 10) due to the controls.

Great movie, now even better

Verified Purchase:Yes
It's an older movie now, but that doesn't mean HDR and 4k aren't awesome additions. You essentially get better-than-cinema quality, with much improved black levels and colors. HDR isn't as in-your-face as new movies, but it's still pretty awesome when it comes up in some of the space scenes. Soundtrack is amazing with a good surround sound system. It's the definitive copy, there are plenty of extras for those interested in the making of and such!

Take beautiful photos and hi-speed video with this hybrid Panasonic LUMIX 25mm lens. Compatible with LUMIX cameras, this lens attaches easily without adding weight to your camera. The natural viewing angle works well in a wide variety of applications, and this Panasonic LUMIX 25mm lens features motor focusing for ultra-clear images.
 

Will this fit on my canon rebel t3i?

This lens is only for Micro Four Thirds cameras. Canon cameras are never in this format, so you will need to look for lenses that match your specific lens mount. There may be adapters but generally they are not worth it as they can cause distortion, fringing, and make the lens much bulkier than a native lens mount.
