I love deep bass lines and original beats with distilled clarity. This CD is "meh". Not an outstanding performance(s), not poor by no means but it just doesn't fulfill my greed for something special. Bruno Mars--give it to us!

. . . It is too small for all the stuff I bought! I may have to buy a larger bag and return this bag--we'll see. Has many side pockets for cards and filters and batteries and such.

A telephoto lens is a necessary tool to bring the subject matter of a particular photo interest up-close. This is an entry-level lens without the entry-level inferiority.

The Sony A6000 camera has a battery charger built in; however, why constrain yourself to using the built-in charger (thereby rendering the camera useless to shoot photos), when you can use this charger to fully charge the battery off camera.
Tips: When buying a new battery charge each battery overnight--will not overcharge. Make sure to observe the placement of the charger correctly into the electrical socket (follow the owner's manual). Buy several batteries.

An entry level mirrorless camera without the lack of features in an entry level camera. High-end features, fast shutter action and well laid out buttons and menus. This is a APS-C sensor. Meaning, in the most simplest terms that if you are taking a panoramic view the image will be "cropped" .
Ideally we all want the best image and a "full frame" sensor will accomplish this.
However, don't allow the cropped sensor dissuade you from buying this camera--soon all cameras will be mirrorless and this entry level camera has professional features and attributes.
After playing around with this camera for a few months I am seeking a Sony full frame camera to fulfill my desire for greatness.
Small in stature, fantastic in performance.

I wanted sturdy and high performing banana plugs (this shouldn't be hard--but, alas, it is difficult). These plugs are a poor representation of what quality means. Very difficult for the wire to be retained by the plug. Coherent and complete instructions are lacking as well.
Best Buy fails in many instances carrying quality accessories at a fair and reasonable price and maintaining stock. I and many others have to search online and buy from other vendors that offer quality and value. This is bad business for Monster Products and Best Buy.

Have you ever purchased a product--any product and have it fail? I have and it is extremely frustrating and a royal pain. So far SanDisk has not failed me yet (where's some wood).
With a modicum of handling care (don't touch the gold contacts and don't ever bend this memory card), this product should last a lifetime.
Fast data transfer and hardy performance. A value!

Yamaha - 8" 100-Watt Powered Subwoofer - Silver
Experience booming bass in your home with this Yamaha YST-SW012 subwoofer that features Advanced Yamaha Active Servo Technology II and an 8" driver with 100 watts of dynamic power for clear, powerful bass response.
Great low-end sound delivery
Customer Rating
5.0
This nineteen pound dynamite package of sound delivers Yamaha's bass resonator system that works, as I understand it, by increasing--via sound wave excitation--in the subwoofer's enclosure, the amplitude of sound and directing this sound to your environment all in concert via the amp's negative impedance value to hit those low notes (down to 28 Hz) for those heart thumping moments of film and audio.
An 8-inch front speaker with a side firing port delivers those finer auditory moments without distortion. What this means is that this almost perfect 12 inch square package, will add range and a feeling of "Oomph" to whatever source you are listening to--this is so important!
A one hundred watt amplifier is integrated within the subwoofer. Oh! and this unit is magnetically shielded so it won't mess with other system components. What a value in a small form. A tremendous over all value as well.

is this an auto ON/OFF subwoofer
This unit incorporates a switch for on / off. I have my sub's power cord hooked up to my "switched" Panamax surge protector so that when I power it off, the subwoofer turns off. Otherwise you must manually turn it off via the switch. These is a little green lamp that is on (the back of the unit), to indicate whether the unit is on or off.

Color?
I have a question regarding the color of this item... It states "silver" in
the description, but the picture alongside shows a black speaker. Is this
item black or silver?
