It's been upscaled from the 2K image to 4K. There is an improvement over a standard 1080p Blu-ray.

Very lightweight, was not expecting it to be able to float with the camera. But it does, and its compact design makes it great for travel.

Own 3 of these. Perfect for home automation, also small enough that they can be placed behind small fixtures and still pick up commands.

Would definitely recommend picking up some accessories. The built in stability is ok, but you would need something like the Karma Grip to get true stability.

Overall the camera is good quality. However, if the sun hits your door directly, there may be some focusing issues for the camera.

 Google - Chromecast - Black
Google - Chromecast - Black
Google Chromecast: Easily stream your favorite apps and media to your TV via Wi-Fi with Chromecast. Use the included USB cable to plug the Chromecast into your TV, and control streaming content using your compatible smartphone, tablet or computer.
 

Why Chromecast if most streaming services are supported by my TiVo and DVD player?

Between my aging TiVo Premier and Panasonic DVD player, I have built-in apps to stream Netflix, Hulu, Vudu, YouTube, Cinema Now, Amazon Instant Video, and others.

Why would I otherwise use Chromecast other than directly displaying occasional live content from a PC or Android device?

Just checking to see if I'm missing something in my understanding! Thanks.
You will have portability with the Chromecast. I have 2, and I still take one around to other tv's once in a while. I would also say the user experience may be better when streaming through a phone or tablet using the chromecast as opposed to the app versions made by Tivo or Panasonic.
