I'll start off by saying this is a nicely made camera, small bodied and easy to handle. This included a 32gb sd card along with the 16-50mm lens.
I'm used to lager more user adjustable dslr cameras that are super Bulky. I like the smaller form factor of this mirrorless camera, it has a built in hot shoe for a larger higher quality flash then the tiny built in one. I say the built in flash is tiny, which it is, but it is useful for portraits and closer subjects. The rear display will fold up and down, but not out or swivel, which would be a nice feature to seemon a future model.
I like that the A6100 takes pics in 4K as well as video in 24p and 30p, just not the most desirable 60p. Which isn't a deal breaker imo for the reasonable price of 749.99 retail. The menu system imo, is very outdated, my older dslrs have the exact same menu system and neither of them are a Sony. This does capture great low light photography as well as video. The built in wifi and sony smartphone software to transfer photos to your phone is ok, I find it overly neccessary but many will like the feature and benefits of it.
My only complaints are the outdated menu system as well as poor battery life. Also I don't care for the fact the eye cup view finder isnt live, it's a small monitor, and the delay on it is terrible and irritating to me. I subtracted a star for the 3 cons. All in all I would recommend this camera to anyone looking for a relatively reasonable priced mirrorless camera, and maybe buying some higher end lenses.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Quality made gaming headset with rgb lighting by Corsair. Upon charging these headphones and setting them up in Corsairs Cue software. I found them to be comfortable to wear for long periods of time. The ear cups are covered in fabric and have soft padded foam, making them easy to wear for a while at a time, as well as the headband.
Whether gaming or listening to music, the sound from these headphones is surprisingly good. You have the option of having them in Stereo sound, or Surround sound. Both sound modes are enjoyable depending on the content your listening to.
Rgb looks good on these, whether you choose to use it or not. The microphone works well and your voice is crystal clear with a good internet connection. You can easily mute the mic via the button on the headset, or flipping it up. Hopefully these hold up well, as I really like the look and design of the headset.
It would be nice to see this with a wireless charging stand, but thats not super important to me. I have no complaints about this headset, everything just works and works well.

A decent wireless gaming keyboard with rgb. I found this keyboard to have minamal lag while using it wirelessly for gaming. No missed keystrokes or problems I could find with the functionality of the keyboard. Thks is a standard membrane keyblard, not a mechanical one.
Upon unboxing I fully charged and updated the keyboards firmware via Corsairs Cue software. After 2 hours of charging, the keyboard had a full battery and was ready to go. Setup via Cue software is painless, from adding hotkeys, to setting up your choice of rgb pattern and style.
In my opinion Corsair make a quality lasting product with gamers in mind. Following that my biggest complaint with this keyboard and most Coarsir products, is the use of so much plastic. I own multiple gaming mice, keyboards, and headsets. I find Corsair has the .most products made from plastic than others. If you can overllok that, this is the gaming keyboard for you

I set this up in my main listening are of my family room. I positioned it in the best sounding spot of the room, then ran Auddessy on my Denon avr.
After a hour of tweaking and setting up, this small 10" sealed sub was very unimpressive to me. My family room is 21x 14 with vaulted ceilings. I currently have a 7.2.2 setup in this room. I would find this sub to be best suited for smaller rooms, like a office, or a smaller bedroom setup.
I thought this was going to have more impressive output, but I was definitely disapointed. I currently have it setup in my my master bedroom in a corner nook, with my current 5.1 setup. It sounds ok, but not thunderous. It has about the same output as my old ported 10" Polk sub.
I love sonace speakers, and have other outdoor and in wall/in ceiling speakers by them. But, this sub wasnt what I was expecting. For me there are much better subs for the same amount of money, that perform much better.

Hooked this up to my 55" Hisense 4ktv, the sound is really good as well as the bass response.
Install was easy using the included brackets for the soundbar, pair the sub to it and your ready for tv or movies. I use PS Vue to stream tv, mainly for watching baseball. The sound is really crisp and punchy compared to the built in 4 speakers in the tv set. Bass response is big and boomy with the little sub. Its suprising how much a little sub adds to the experience.
I reccomend this soundbar setup to anyone looking for better sound, and not wanting to drop a fortune on one.

Ive been wanting to get my hands on one of these air fryers for a while now. Finally had the opportunity and glad I did.
The pressure cooker works like a dream, so much so a man can easily use this. Simply toss 3 lbs of frozen chicken wings in the basket, add a 1/2 cup water, put on the pressure cooker lid, set it and forget it.
I was surprised to air fry 3lb of wings only 2 tblsppons of oil is used. Plus the combo works great, with hardly any mess compared to a conventional fryer Ive used at home in the past. Even my wife commented how nice this new Ninja combo is. Cant wait to dehydrate some meat to make homade jerky with this.
My only complaint is I wish the air fryer lid detached when using the pressure cooker.

This is my 1st ever pair of Noise cancelling headphones. All I can say is WOW! Sony knocked these out of the park, they sound incredible for truely wireless Ill call em ear dongles, as theyre profile is large. Especially compared to other brand true wireless ear buds I have.
The noise cancelling works well and seems to adjust on the fly, when your surroundings go from quiet to any kind of surrounding noise. Which imo can be annoying as the sound cuts out when the noise cancelling engages and dis engages.
Through the Sony App, these have Many adjustable settings, from EQ, to noise cancelling ON/OFF, and adjustable increments of noise cancelling. These also can be updated via allowable firmware upgrades through the Sony App as well.
Ive had these on and in ear since they arrived 7 hrs ago, and battery life is great on one full charge via the 6" usb-c cable. I was amazed how well the noise cancelling worked. I played my 6- piece acoustic drum set to see just how well the Cancelling of noise worked. To my surprise, these XM3s nearly removed all sound coming from my kit and cymbals, and theres nothing quiet about them. Impressive...
Google Assistant works well and is fully functional on these also, I used the feature to adjust my thermostat, and turn on a few lights in and around the house. Also the side touch areas respond almost to well to Pause, Resume, as well as engage Google Assistant, and turn the Voume Up and Down.
My only complaint is I recieved them in Black vs Silver, so not much of a complaint! As my S10+ is white, would of mated better. Honestly though my one true gripe is these have a large profile dangling out of your ear. Other than that these are Awesome.

While I do like this security camera by Defender, it does need some improvements and or firmware updates. Improvements Id like to see is Audio, and 2-way audio as well.
For updates, what Id like to see is selectable 108pp picture that stays. So you dont have to switch from SD to HD every viewing, while using the app.
Setup of the camera is fairly easy and straight forward. 1st youll need to select your mounting location. Drill a 3/4" hole to run your camera power wire& ethernet adapter through, connect the camera to its power adapter which is 10ft long. You also have the option to connect this camera to ethernet cable. Should you choose to not use 2.4ghz wifi, or if your wifi is weak in your desired location. Then simply mount the cameras base using 3 included screws.
Setup a account with defender and connect the new camera to wifi or your wired network(seperate ethernet cable required for wired connection)! Ive had no issues whatskever with this camera. Works perfect everytime. Whether Im using it over my wifi or cellular network.
Id reccommend this to anyone not wanting to spend a ton of money on a home security camera or multiple ones.
