Most reliable SSD available
on November 13, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is the most reliable solid state hard drive available. Sure it's a little bit more expensive than the PNY and SanDisk models, but it is worth every cent. The Samsung SSD's are also consistently fast. Faster in many cases than drives with the same specs.
Don't cheap out. Get the Samsung. You'll be glad you did. I fix computers for a living, and I don't purchase any other brand for SSD. I have installed hundreds of these drives.

Best Whole Home WiFi I've Tried
on May 14, 2017
Posted by: richtoke
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have tried the Amplifi, Google, and EERO mesh wifi setups. So far, I prefer the EERO system. The app is pretty easy to use. There are limitations. For example, I found it difficult to change the IP range of the devices. The biggest advantage to the EERO system is being able to monitor a client's network remotely from the app. Coverage is solid. Make sure if you need to update a device it is close enough to the base unit to get the update downloaded and installed. It's a real pain when they don't update correctly.

A big step up from the NEX 5t
on February 24, 2017
Posted by: richtoke
Verified Purchase:Yes
The quality of the photos are incredible. Like all of the reviews will say for every camera on the market, spend some money and get a nice lens. I can't live without my 16-70mm Zeiss, but this review is for the camera not the Zeiss lens.
The menu is a mess. There are a TON of options, which I'm sure lots of people at this level of photography are excited about, but for me, it's too many choices. That said, it only took a couple of trips out with the camera to find the 10 or so settings I care about and feel comfortable using the camera in the way that I want to use it. I also found some new cool features that I have been liking including the spot focus and fixed focus.
The silent shutter is awesome, and I'm sure it is really great for photographing animals. Also a plus for street photography so you can snap pics of people walking by without being so obvious or embarrassing.
Here are the cons:
The screen. For this much money, why didn't they make the screen a touch screen? It doesn't make sense. Do I really have to pay an extra $400 for the A6500 to get a touch screen? Also, the screen doesn't swivel. It moves VERY slightly, and I suppose just enough to move the camera down to take a shot from waist level, but this is another thing that I don't understand. My 4 year old Sony NEX 5t had both a touch screen and a screen that came all the way up to enact a selfie type mode. Why drop stuff like this? I thought that products were supposed to improve features, not do away with useful things.

Also, like I said above, the menu is overwhelming. The buttons are super customizeable, but there's just too much going on for anyone who isn't a professional photographer. If I had to guess I would say even pros probably aren't using half of the options in here.
So, am I happy with the purchase? Yes. Am I disappointed that they didn't include some of the core features that I used with my original Sony mirrorless? Big Time.

I bought one for my office first. My wife saw it, then found out the price, and told me to get one for every television. Chromecast is simple to setup and to use. Install the app on your phones, tablets, and laptops. It works for everything.

Whats the difference between a6000 and a6300 cameras
A lot. The focal points used for the autofocus are much greater in the A6300 (so significantly faster focusing). The sensor and processor have pretty huge improvements in the A6300, including low light function. There are plenty of other differences that are very easy to find with a simple online search of "A6000 vs A6300".
Unless you are a pro, you probably don't care and the A6000 is good enough. If you are shooting video, the consensus seems to be the A6300 is a must over the A6000.

what is chromcast ? and how does and is it better the cable?
This is only for streaming things from your phone, laptop, or tablet. It does not itself have any software or built in television or movie capability. So it isn't better or worse than cable; it is something else entirely. They're completely different things.
