Great value, but a little dated for 2019...

If you really want a full frame Sony for under $1000, then this is for you. But it seemed a little on the slow end for me. I opted for the D750 Nikon for the same price and it seemed to be much quicker for being a dated body.

Nice, but heavy.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Honestly I don’t get the obsession with 70-200 lenses. I returned it and got a Tamron 28-300 for my full frame DSLR Nikon D750.
200mm isn’t a lot of range especially for how large and heavy they are. Yeah the 28-300 has its limitations in low light but I’m not shooting for National Geographic.

Works great for making phone calls while at your desktop. My Mac mini didn't come with a built in mic, so this was a simple fix. Everyone who I talk to using this thing says the audio is as clear as could be. Very happy...

Excellent walk around lens for a full frame Nikon!

Being able to shoot any scene without changing lenses in the field is a very good thing. I’d say indoors can be sort of difficult especially for indoor sports where a lot of motion is involved...but image quality with this lens is very impressive and on top of that it’s water and dust resistant. You really can’t beat it. Works awesome on my Nikon D750.

It~s versatile: wear Slide as a sling, neck, or shoulder strap. It~s comfy, yet low-profile, thanks to internally-padded nylon webbing. On one side, the webbing is smooth and glides over clothing. Flip it over, and a silicone grip prevents slippage off your shoulder. Dual quick-adjusters make Slide configurable to any activity. When not shooting, cinch your camera tight to your body to keep it secure while moving about. The crux of it all? Our unique Anchor Link system. Anchors provide instant ultra-strong connection to your camera. Instantly swap Slide between camera bodies, or switch to a different Peak Design strap. Multiple attachment points enable carrying your camera with your lens facing forward or down, making Slide ideal for a huge range of camera/lens setups. Plus, Anchors work with Peak Design tripod plates and many 3rd party plates and L-brackets.

Google ~best camera strap~ and you~ll be hard-pressed to find a list that doesn~t include Slide Lite. A slimmed down version of our famous Slide strap, Slide Lite is the most versatile pro camera strap in the world. Unpadded and slimmer than Slide, Slide Lite offers an ideal combo of comfort and packability~most use it for mirrorless cameras, but many find it equally comfy and low-profile on full-frame cameras with large lenses. Slide Lite is versatile: wear it as a sling, neck, or shoulder strap. On one side, the webbing is smooth and glides over clothing. Flip it over, and a silicone grip prevents slippage off your shoulder. Dual quick-adjusters make Slide Lite configurable to any activity. When not shooting, cinch your camera tight to your body to keep it secure while moving about. The crux of it all? Our unique Anchor Link system.

Wear your camera comfortably with this BlackRapid Street Breathe camera strap. It has a shoulder pad and adjustable-length webbing to fit snugly as you move, and its connector and fastener make sure equipment stays securely attached. The included dust bag stores this BlackRapid Street Breathe camera strap when not in use.

These are decent headphones, but not superb for the $100 price tag. I’d prefer the JBL 400BT for the same price and they have Ambient Aware function and they’re more powerful.
I will say they’re comfortable and do sound decent. Just not great...

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.

Does this fit the new 2020 11 inch iPad Pro?
How would this fit the 2020 model? It doesn't have the right camera holes? I could be wrong, but I don't think it'll fit...
