This Lens is HOT!!

Not like literally hot of course, but if you're an A7 Series owner, this is a must have piece of glass! The quality of the photos is can produce are astounding and almost unbelievable when you think of how small it is. Yes the f/1.4 is amazing with an aperture 2 stops greater, but in a body immensely larger. When this lens is attached to the body of my A7II, I can't even notice it's there. It's possibly the best all around, versatile as heck, small profile native lens available for the camera right now. If you enjoy taking street, architecture, landscapes, and portraits with amazing bokeh, this lens is a must and you won't regret adding it to your kit.

The new Apple TV delivers an all-new experience with Touch andSiri, powerful new hardware, and great content, games, and more on the App Store. The Touch surface on the new Siri Remote offers innovative ways to interact with your TV, creating a connected experience with a screen that's across the room. With Siri, finding something to watch is as easy as just asking. And with apps, Apple TV allows you to customize your TV for personal and shared experiences in the living room.

The new AppleTV was a long time coming. The features and interface are smooth and work great and it's astounding how responsive Siri is when using the remote. I can't think of a single time that she misunderstood me or wasn't able to answer my question. Too notch product that's a must if you're a religious AppleTV user.

With 5-axis in-body image stabilization, this Sony a7 II mirrorless camera lets you take clear, arresting images on the go. The 3" tiltable TFT-LCD and high-contrast OLED EVF make it easy to accurately frame your shot. .

Mirrorless that's way ahead of the game
on November 28, 2015
Posted by: jbrooks
Verified Purchase:Yes
Sony has pulled out all the stops on their A7 line of mirrorless cameras and the A7II is no exception. They are so far ahead of the game when it comes to these cameras that the other brands haven't even announced a compact mirrorless full frame and Sony has already released 7 of them. The camera has nearly every feature you could want and the customizable buttons are nothing short of wonderful. Yes the lens selection could be better but it continues to grow with exceptional products and you cannot argue that it's only getting better - especially with the introduction of the Zeiss Loxia 21mm f/2.8 and the Zeiss Batis 25mm f/2. When a company like Zeiss takes the time to put out amazing lenses like these, one should take notice and know that there is a bright future ahead for both the A7 series and the e-mount lens ecosystem. If you're making a switch from canon or Nikon, their are top of the line electronic lens adapters that allow you to keep your current set of glass and if you're in the a-mount family already, the Sony adapters are awesome - especially with the most recent firmware update which enhances the autofocus via the adapters to nearly native response times. Sony is just getting started with full frame mirrorless cameras and I'm very proud to be an owner of their A7II after owning the NEX-5N for years prior!

Perfect handheld tablet
on November 28, 2015
Posted by: jbrooks
Verified Purchase:Yes
It goes without saying that if you e bought into the apple Eco system, then the iPad is the tablet you'll want. The mini is a great size and easily fits in one hand which is really convenient for late night browsing and watching movies. The Touch ID is so awesome that you'll start to resent your apple products that don't have it! For a small easily portable iPad that's not big in size, this is the one to get. Hands down.

Easily transport your 15" Apple MacBook Pro with this Thule Stravan backpack, which features a padded main compartment that fits you device. The organization pocket and mesh side pockets let you store various accessories.

Absolutely fantastic backpack. Has room to fit all of my cables, Chargers, pens, notebooks, and more. Love the separate compartments for both my laptop and tablet. My favorite feature is definitely the "safe zone" compartment for my sunglasses. They have small loops on both the arm bands for them too. And the drink pouches on the side are definitely convenient. Definitely one of the best you can buy from Thule.

What is the best economical camera for taking pictures at a track meet of runners?
Sony A6000 with the 35mm f/1.8 Lens. The A6000 has incredibly fast auto focus and focus tracking and the 35mm lens will let you to take clear split second photos by allowing you step the shutter speed up pretty high while keeping your ISO low and aperture wide open (or near wide open). The A5100 would also be appropriate if you need something a little cheaper.

Any one buy the latest 200 mm Sony.lens? Or the newest Zeiss /Sony Batis lens. If so who or which Best Buy stores have these on site for immediate
The Zeiss Batis (and Loxia) Lenses are not Sony co-branded which means you cannot purchase them from Best Buy.
