Fast, reliable, low cost. A little loud at full speed but aren't they all?

Capture vibrant videos and images with this Sony telephoto lens. Internal optical SteadyShot image stabilization helps deliver clear handheld shots, and the internal AF mechanism operates silently during movie recording for reduced noise interference. This Sony telephoto lens boasts two ED glass and two aspherical elements for high optical performance across the zoom range.

A bit soft at full tele on my A6000

Bought this to use with my A6000. A bit disappointed in that the sharpness doesn't hold up at the full tele end of the lens, especially with a 24 megapixel camera. Probably ok for the lower res sensor cameras, but if you intend to crop and blow up your pics on an A6000, you may be disappointed with this one.

Great Price, Great performance

Solid performer with good software to back it up. I've been using it for about 30 days now without a problem. If the testers are right, it should last as long as any platter based drive. Once you've gone SSD you'll never go back.

I really wanted to like this but.....

Wow I really wanted to like this smartwatch. I've been waiting for months to buy a Pebble, and when they finally got one in stock I immediately drove down to purchase it. Now it's going back. For me there were 2 big deal killers:
1. Low contrast hard to read screen. I was surprised at how critical the viewing angle is on this watch. If you aren't looking square onto it (especially with indoor light) the display contrast fades and is really hard to read.
2. Inconsistent notifications. The main reason I wanted it was for email and text notification on my wrist. I found that sometimes it notified me, sometimes it didn't. I can't imagine it's a range issue as the watch was always withing 3 feet of the phone (a Galaxy SIII)
I also found that after installing the software and telling it to notify me of appointments (allowing access to my calendar data) my calendar stopped syncing with Google calendar. Coincidence? Maybe, but I had to clear calendar data on my phone and resync to get it to work again. Something got corrupted in my phone data around the time I gave the Pebble app access to it.
The build quality itself is OK, but it is large and more blocky on the wrist than I expected. That's a matter of personal taste. I'd also suggest getting a screen protector or skin for it right away. It looks pretty easy to scratch.
All in all the watch had the feel and quality of my $30 Casio Waveceptor, was harder to read, and the smart features seem a work in progress. Maybe as the software matures it will improve.
What's great about it: Great idea poorly executed
What's not so great: Build quality, screen, reliablilty
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
