Jus’ like the Z50, but way better!
on December 2, 2024

Verified Purchase:Yes
I had the original Z50 for a few years and loved it. I ordered the Z50II as soon as it was announced, and it jus’ got here today (02DEC2024). It is FAST FAST FAST. I love the new bright EVF (electronic viewfinder). It feels great in the hand, too. Jus’ slightly larger than the original Z50, but slightly smaller than my Nikon Z6II (full frame). I connected the FTZII adapter with the Nikon 18-300 lens, and it works flawlessly. Images are super sharp even at 1/80 shutter speed thanks to the built-in VR on the lens. Note: This body does not have built in VR so make sure you use lenses that do, or it will def affect your ability to shoot in low light without raising your ISO real high. If this camera body had dual card slots and built in VR it would be perfect, but for the price (under $1,000), you honestly cannot complain about the Z50II from Nikon. I also like how you can charge the battery internally via a USB-C cable. I like it because you can “charge on the fly” using a portable charger without even removing the battery. I will still give it 5 stars. I’d give it a 4.5 if I could only because I’d really prefer to have dual card slots and built-in VR. But again……cannot complain!

THIS.....is the ticket. Bang for the buck....

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought the base model with 256GB memory, simply because you can add a 2TB external drive with USB-C for less than $100 and it's portable / replaceable.
I got a TotalTech deal for $549, and $25 back in rewards, so realistically I only paid $525 for it. DEAL...
It's super small, fast, and I love all the USB-C ports.
Instead of trading in my old M1 Mac mini ($200 trade), I kept it and connected it to my 70" 4K TV in the main room. It's nice to have it as a backup computer. Simply connect a wireless keyboard and ,ouse, and it's like having a huge computer in your family room. Connect the Apple CD/DVD drive to it and you can watch movies on it, replacing the old DVD player on your shelf.
The fact that this has 16GB RAM as a base model at that price really is amazing. Nice job, Apple and N Canton, OH BestBuy!!

A must have with an iPad…

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this to go with my M4 iPad Pro 11 inch… I am looking forward to seeing how it works with Apple Intelligence… The update has not come out yet… So I can’t really comment too much on that aspect although I do like the price I got it for… I have three iPads and each one has its own pencil… They kind of go together :-)

Excellent protection for the M4 IPad Pro…
on October 26, 2024
Posted by: BMunster
Verified Purchase:Yes
This case is perfect for the iPad M4 Pro 11”. I do appreciate the fact that it has a building screen protector… Some people do not like that… And I understand why… Although it does save you about $30 because they are quite expensive. I have seen reviews that said the screen doesn’t fit tight against the display, but I do not find that to be the case. I do like the stand… It seems like they updated it… I just wished it had a few more viewing l angles… As it is quite limited.

THE perfect 70” TV….
on October 26, 2024
Posted by: BMunster
Verified Purchase:Yes
In my opinion, this is the most bang for the buck when it comes to the 65” to 70” TVs out there. I’m not a GamerGuy so 120 hertz wasn’t necessary. The contrast, color, and even the motion on this TV are very impressive. I love the feet (stand) as they look better than a center stand in my opinion, and the option to raise the TV by an adjustment on the feet is very useful, as it allows you to put your soundbar under the TV without sitting in front of the TV frame. At $999 sale price, I am very happy with my purchase.

All hype. Apple fell short…
on October 26, 2024
Posted by: BMunster
Verified Purchase:Yes
After all the hype over this device, it really was a disappointment. The screen is just….MEH. 500 nits of brightness, and no ProMotion? I ended up exchanging it for a M4 iPad Pro 11”. At $899 sale price, I did pay almost double, but it’s ten times as good.
This iPad mini had a chance to be so much better, but they fell short by “cheaping out” on the display…

2x as much as the A17 Pro IPad mini & 10x as good.
on October 26, 2024

Verified Purchase:Yes
I had originally purchased the “new” iPad mini A17 Pro which recently just was released by Apple. That thing was all hype. The screen was pathetic for 2024 standards especially at $499. I exchanged it for the iPad 11 inch Pro M4… And yes, I paid double the price… But it seems to be ten times the iPad.
I love the OLED display… And the screen brightness is bright enough to use as a drone display on a sunny day… Unlike the mini. A big thank you to North Canton Best Buy for taking care of this for me… Very nice people work there.

Fast, accurate autofocus. All in an easy to carry, fun to shoot lens that's ideal for sports, theme parks, travel, wildlife or anywhere the unexpected is expected.

Nice, but has limitations...and pricey.

Verified Purchase:Yes
For the $1299 price tag, I'd say it's........meh.
Kinda pricey to be honest. When you buy this and a yesterday's edition Z6ii camera body, you're looking at nearly $3K. That's just a steep price for what this is...
Are the photos sharp? Yes, they are....but it's kind of useless when the lights go down....way too much "noise" in your photos....keep that in mind...

By BMunster
I think the 50" QLED is the way to go. Huge 65" TVs show more flaws in the picture, and tend to look kind of gawdy in a small room. I don't think a lot of people see it that way.
Love the Ambient Mode feature, although I wish you could use a flash drive of your own photos instead of the sample pics they offer. That definitely should be changed next time.
At $649 I thought it was a pretty good deal. Very happy with it.

Why not be able to upload multiple photographs?
April 17, 2020
I love this TV, but as an amateur photographer, I would love to be able to upload multiple photos so that the Ambient Mode function turns into a slide show instead of simple being able to display one photo constantly. It appears that it's limited to one photo. Am I correct?

Powerful. Easy to use. Versatile. The new iPad has a beautiful 10.2-inch Retina display, powerful A13 Bionic chip, an Ultra Wide front camera with Center Stage, and works with Apple Pencil and the Smart Keyboard.~ iPad lets you do more, more easily. All for an incredible value.

5 out of 5Most Bang for your Buck…
By BMunster
I know the 9th Gen IPad isn’t full of the latest greatest in technology, and it APPEARS to be the same as the 8th Gen IPad, but…
It has a new front facing camera with Center Stage technology….a faster processor, and a few other updates including more memory. And….they price matched Amazon so I got mine for $299.
I couldn’t justify the additional couple hundred bucks to go with the mini 6 or the iPad Air. And call me old, but I love the simplicity of the traditional “Home” button.
I think I kind of stole it @ $299…

5 out of 5Bella Small Size May Fool You - Generous Capacity
By pauldar

The Bella Pro Series 2-qt. Touchscreen Air Fryer is disguised as compact air fryer. However, after using it for three weeks I discovered this versatile air fryer is an efficient counter top appliance, which enables healthier cooking for Grandma and me. I can Air Fry, Broil, Bake, Roast, and Reheat with little or no oil. And, the best part is that healthier air fried foods are just as tasty and delicious as if they were deep-fat fried. How cool is that?
This Bella Pro Series air Fryer is a cut above the rest of the Bella Houseware Kitchen products and is designed for higher performance. It is made of mostly plastic with a non-stick coated steel frying basket and crisping tray. The frying basket has a 'cool-touch' handle, and the body of the whole unit is finished in finger print resistant, matte black. It blends in with all of my Kitchen appliances and the bottom of this unit has four rubberized non-skid feet to keep it stable. It is lightweight enough to be portable and I often move it about on different places as needed. My counter tops are heat resistant. The manufacturer suggests placing this air fryer on heat-resistant work spaces in order to avoid counter top damage. This unit pulls in air to circulate over the 1200 watt heating element in a circular vent at the top of the unit. Heat is exhausted out of the back of this unit so the manufacturer suggest to keep a four inch clearance from walls or other objects during operation. When removing the frying basket it is important to place it on a heat-resistant surface, or trivet because it will be hot.
Advantages of this Bella Pro Series 2-qt. Touchscreen Air Fryer:
* Healthier cooking using little or NO oils whatsoever. Air Frying is the new approach to reduce cholesterol and polyunsaturated fatty acids in cooking oils. Again, I am amazed at how tasty air frying is and good for my health too. YooHoo!
* Quickly cooks vegetables, meats, fish, and poultry without preheating. Holds up to to two quarts of volume. Enough French Fries to serve my four Grand Kids when they visit and want a snack. WoW!
* High performance circular heat technology. Distributes heated air flow for faster cooking. It cooks the foods more evenly and makes them crispier too. YUMMY!
* Responsive and easy to learn Touchscreen Controls. Preset functions with preset temperatures and times. However, the time and temperature can easily be changed manually at any time during the cooking process. By using the marked Up & Down Time and Temperature arrows both Time & Temperature can be decreased, and, or Increased. This is important when cooking foods, then pausing to shake, and or, turn the food items half way through the cooking process. I can easily tell when I need to add or increase the temperature or time.
* Safety features include the pausing of the preset cooking choices when the frying basket is pulled out of the air fryer. The cooking process will resume immediately when the fryer basket is installed back into the main body. The unit will Not cook if the fryer basket is NOT installed. The unit can be turned OFF by pressing the Power Button for two seconds. After 60 minutes this unit will automatically turn OFF and sound an audible tone.
* Care and Maintenance is NOT complicated. The frying basket and crisping tray are easily cleaned in my Kitchen sink with soapy water, and. by hand as I prefer. They can also be put in the Dishwasher, but I think they last longer if cleaned by hand. The main body of this Bella air fryer can easily be cleaned with a damp dish cloth.
* Be aware there is a learning curve to the process of air frying. Pausing the cooking process half way through the presets is very important. I can easily determine if I need to continue with the same preset Times and Temperature, or, if either one needs to be changed. The Bella Touchscreen makes this a simple adjustment.
* Tips – Placing a piece of aluminum foil under the crisping tray makes clean-up much easier, especially when air frying, roasting,or broiling fatty meats. Make sure the 'shiny' side is facing up. It reflects heat much better under the crisping tray. Try re-heating foods in this Bella instead of your microwave. This Bella reheats foods more evenly and thoroughly. Love It!
* This Bella Air Fryer is quite an energy saver compared to my conventional six cubic foot oven. The Bella only uses 1.2 KW, while my conventional oven uses upwards to 4 KW and takes much longer to preheat and cook. The Bella is fantastic in comparison.
I highly recommend this Bella Pro Series 2-qt. Touchscreen Air Fryer. Me and Grandma are amazed how quickly this unit prepares our foods in less time then it takes to preheat my conventional oven. We were very skeptical at first because healthier foods aren't supposed to taste this good, or are they? Buy a Bella Air Fryer and find our for yourself . This unit is ideal for a couple, or family of four with two small children. This Bella is inexpensive, and may actually pay for itself over time compared to using your conventional oven. Makes a great wedding, housewarming, or just a special gift to that particular person or family member on your list.
