This premium memory card is an excellent choice for the Panasonic Lumix ZS100. It permits the taking of 20M pixel images effortlessly, as well as taking 4k video smoothly. I purchased it on an excellent sale at Best Buy - which happens on a pretty regular basis at this fine store. I recommend it highly.

This pouch is an excellent fit for my new Lumix ZS100! It is spacious enough to provide room for the camera and its wrist strap. The outer pocket provides space for two spare batteries, a spare memory card, and the charging cable. The pouch provides protection from the weather, and is spacious enough to make removing the camera easy and quick - essential for taking candid shots in the wild and in urban settings. It is also small, making it inconspicuous while moving about - both in the woods, and in foreign cities.

I purchased this over a year ago to upgrade my system drive on my desktop PC - it used a 1 TB WD mechanical drive (5400rpm). Moving the system to the new SSD was easily accomplished using the Acronis True Image software (which I recommend strongly). With the new drive my PC seems to run like a rocket! I am very pleased with this drive, and recommend it highly.

I make a couple of trips a year to Europe for holidays, and I take lots of photos while on these trips. I travel light, and need to back up my photos while on the go. This drive has worked very well for me! So good in fact that I bought a second one, and then splurged on the 1TB model. These drives are very durable, small, light, and 100% reliable. I recommend them highly.

I purchased this for my new Xbox One X. I want to be able to use it for Skype with family members from the comfort of my living room. Installation couldn't have been simpler - simply plugged it into an available usb port. When I brought up the Skype application, it recognized the camera and provided menus for the options I wanted to use. I was done with the setup in no more than 2 minutes. Both the image and audio provided by the camera are good, and provoked compliments from family members at the receiving end. For those looking for a moderately priced webcam to use for Skyping, it will be difficult to find a better choice.

I bought this drive to provide external storage for my new Xbox One X, for music, videos, etc. Installation was easy - just plugged it in.
The Xbox immediately recognized it. There was no need to do anything else! I have been using WD external drives for over 20 years, and not once have had any kind of problem. For those looking to expand the drive capacity of their Xbox One X (or S),
I strongly recommend this unit.

I have wanted to do high end gaming for some time, and had come to the realization that it would be impossible to do it on my home computer, and found it also impossible to upgrade it to do so. When I learned about the Xbox One X console I was intrigued, and started to look into it. I was astounded to learn that it had the gaming capability of a high end gaming pc, as well the ability to play 4K Ultra HD Blu-Ray movies. On top of that, its cost was a small fraction of what it would cost for a gaming pc with the same features. To top it off, the unit looks good in my living room under my 4K Sony TV. I pulled the trigger and ordered it just two days before it was sold out, and consider myself fortunate to have obtained one of the last units presently available.
I have been playing with it almost a week now, and it simply blows me away. The games in 4K are like interactive movies.
I have found it possible to have already amassed a collection of almost 20 games, by taking advantage of the many sales and discounts at Best Buy. I have already filled the 1TB drive in the machine!

A few add-ons I have added to my system are:
WD My Book 4TB Ext. USB 3.0 Drive (for games and apps)
WD Easystore 2TB Ext. USB 3.0 Drive (for music, videos, etc.)
Logitech C615 Webcam (for Skype)
Sennheiser Game One Headset
WD My Book 4TB Ext. USB 3.0 Drive (for games and apps)
WD Easystore 2TB Ext. USB 3.0 Drive (for music, videos, etc.)
Logitech C615 Webcam (for Skype)
Sennheiser Game One Headset
For anyone wishing to get into high end gaming at a moderate cost, you can't do better than this machine! I highly recommend it.

I've had this boombox now for over two months, and am still surprised at how happy it makes me. I retired almost a year ago, and it brings back memories of my college days during which a box like this was my sole means of entertainment. I have a large collection of cassette tapes that I wished to digitize before they crumbled to dust, and this has made that task easily doable. But in the process of doing this I discovered that these old tapes sounded incredibly good! I was also surprised at how well preserved these old tapes (many over 40 years old) were. This box has a good stereo cassette player, and also a good radio. The fact that it also incorporates so much useful new technology greatly enhances the pleasure it provides. I strongly recommend this boombox for your purchase - the value it provides far exceeds it's price.

I have had this webcam for over a year. It was very easy to set up - simply plug and play. I have it plugged in to my desktop. It is mounted to the top of my monitor - the mount was simple to do, and has remained steady and secure since I first mounted it. I have been using it for Skyping with family members regularly for the past year. They all tell me that the video is excellent, as is the audio. I recently bought a high end headset (Sennheiser Game One) with a very good microphone - and I had no difficulty disabling the microphone on this webcam so I could use the microphone on the headset. I have been very happy with this webcam, and recommend it strongly.
