Tasts better than other brands

When it comes to hot chocolate, this one tastes less artificial, and if you add milk to it, tastes actually pretty good.

rolling shutter is brutal
on April 22, 2016
Posted by: AlexLA
Verified Purchase:Yes
the image quality out of this small camera in 4K is astonishing, but make no mistake, this isn't anywhere near ready for prime time. The rolling shutter is brutal, and on longer takes, your camera will likely overheat. If those two issues would be addressed, the AF speed alone would make this a great b-camera for small budget productions.

sharp, but only APS-C

I think this lens will do well with a Sigma adapter on a sony mirrorless; IQ is better than most, but not as good as I had hoped for. Fits only APS-C cameras

great value for money, but

Verified Purchase:Yes
this is great value for money, but keep in mind that this does not come with OSS, so on APS-C cameras without IBIS this will not be stabilized

Not great for 4K video
on March 11, 2016
Posted by: AlexLA
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you are shooting stills, this might be good value for money, but if you are shooting 4K video, look elsewhere, as the distortion correction does not work at this higher resolution, hence the image you will get looks horribly distorted.

Ideal for landscape photography and emphasizing perspective, this Sony SEL1018 10-18mm wide-angle zoom lens features built-in Optical SteadyShot image stabilization to produce crisp images and videos.

If this lens was just a tad bit sharper and FF compatible, this would be an ideal lens for the e-mount system. The way it is, it falls short on a FF camera.

Swapped my TWC rented modem for one of these and it works just as well. Same overall speeds, but less crashing. My TWC modem froze every few days, this one has been running strong for weeks now!

These work well

Verified Purchase:Yes
If you can get them on sale, they are quite the bargain to be honest, They work just as well as other brands, but you can get the at a fraction of the cost. While I prefer rechargeables, for some electronics these are better suited.

decent performance

Performance is decent for the money but I was having compatibility issues when this was mounted in a NAS. This might work well in a computer but wasn't reliable for my particular application.

What is "rolling shutter" and is this a problem with the 4K video of this camera?
I suggest you check youtube for examples on rolling shutter, but to answer your question: this camera has VERY NOTICEABLE and very bad rolling shutter in 4K, far more so that other cameras capable of recording 4k internally, or externally.

Is this compatible with on a 2010 Macbook Pro 15?
I have a 2010 Macbook Pro 15 running Yosemite. I would like to replace the existing drive with this. Will it fit in the bay? Thanks for any advice.
Yes, the 2010 model uses standard 3.5inch drives, so you can simply replace the existing HD with this SSD. If you upgrade to El Capitan, you can also use the TRIM functionality provided by this SSD (recommended!!)

can I run wireless router without going through a computer
wireless routers are standalone. They don't need computers. If you talk about configuring one without a computer (as in setting up), you need to get one that offers a mobile client for smartphones/tablets (assuming you have one of these at hand). Most current Netgear and Asus models offer this functionality.

what size / type of router do i need for a 2800 square foot house 2 floors
want to buy router to work in our 2800 square foot home upstairs and down stairs
Depends on where you place the router, but newer AC-type models work well. I think the ASUS AC1900 is a great buy, and should probably work well (needs AC-capable devices for best performance).

Verizon told me that in order for me to get better reception in my home, I needed to purchase a network extender with a CDMA technology.
can you recommend one and it must have at least 1.3 megabits per second
The Network extender uses your OWN INTERNET CONNECTION at home, so the speed is largely dependent on your internet connection. You can get the appropriate extender from Verizon (or use a third party extender which basically adds an antenna outside your home and uses the cell-towers). That might get you the speed you want, but also means that you still must have a strong tower/signal outside of your home that is capable of delivering you 1.3mbits (which over 3G might be a problem on CDMA).
