Fantastic lens
on July 8, 2016
Posted by: GoodSodaBadPackage

Verified Purchase:Yes
Bigger and heavier than I expected, but the image quality is fantastic. Images come out super sharp and crisp and won't leave you disappointed. Autofocus is lightening fast in most cases, and even if it has to cycle through the whole range, it's still pretty quick. The focus ring feels smooth, and is easy to use, and has full-time manual override. Optical stabilization works well. I found the focal ring to be very stiff to use to the point where I wondered if the lock switch even had any purpose. It has loosened up a bit with use, but it's still stiff compared to my Nikon lenses. The case it comes with is very nice, and great for keeping the lens protected when not in use. Also the strap is very handy. Due to the weight of this lens, you really don't want to be carrying it by the camera body. A monopod or sturdy tripod with all-metal head is essentially required for most practical uses of this lens.

This compact bag is great to take on trail hikes. Slide the bag around to your front to access the side panel for quick access to your camera. Use the movable foldable divider to divide up the inside to best fit your camera and gear. This is a small bag and I had to spend some time to find the perfect configuration for my camera and two lenses, but it works. You can also divide off the top portion of the bag where you can store additional gear, batteries, memory cards, etc... The upper compartment has a zipper pouch which also has a clip on a short lanyard so you can secure something inside. Then there is a mesh pouch with elastic.
The outside of the bag has a strap that tucks away in the corner when not in use, but can be pulled out and attached to the main shoulder strap to help secure the bag and prevent it sliding off your back. Another pouch hides a all-weather cover that will cover the whole front and top of the bag, so you can still wear the bag while having it covered from the elements.
Finally the bag has another pouch on the side that pulls out that you can stick a leg of a tripod in. To secure the tripod to the bag, you need to use another strap that comes with the bag but is not secured to anything. You can loop this strap through a loop on the side of the bag and around your tripod.
All in all a lot of features packed in a small bag, which makes it great to carry almost anywhere.

Excellent TV for the price

If you just need a TV without the bells and whistles, this is the TV. How often are you really going to use those smart TV features? Many of those features can even be added at a fraction of the cost with devices like a Chromecast, Fire TV, or Apple TV.

It's a tripod
on August 26, 2015
Posted by: GoodSodaBadPackage
from NY
Verified Purchase:Yes
It's very light, which is nice, but many of the pieces also feel like cheap plastic. So far this tripod has held up to being carted around and taking basic pictures with my super-zoom point-and-shoot. I would be worried about putting too heavy of a camera on this; it will probably topple on uneven ground, or wiggle too much. Would've also been nice if this at least included some hooks to attach a strap for carrying. But, for being a cheap tripod, it does what it needs to do, and probably works for most people.

Logitech Wireless Mouse Marathon M705 lets you power on... and on. It uses less power than comparable wireless mice from other companies, so you'll go up to three full years between battery changes.¹ And it uses a tiny wireless receiver that stays plugged in to your computer, so your mouse is ready to go-whenever, wherever, and for as long as it takes. Plus, hyper-fast scrolling means you'll fly through long documents to find what you need in a flash. Advanced Optical Tracking means you'll get smooth, responsive cursor control. And the sculpted, right-hand shape means you'll be as comfortable finishing up as you were getting started.

Long life

Verified Purchase:Yes
I've been using regularly for a month and still says it has over 1000 days of life left. It does have a 3rd thumb button, which is an awkward down press. By default it launches Logitech's app switcher, which doesn't work very well. I don't use the button very often, but you can program it to do whatever you want.

With sleek lines and a thin profile, this stylish, streamlined keyboard adds style to your workspace. Combining the best of traditional keyboards, laptops and a Logitech-only concave key cap design, you'll enjoy faster, quieter, feel-good typing -hour after hour. Plus, you'll get wireless freedom thanks to the Logitech Unifying receiver.

A wireless keyboard you never have to charge! The solar app tells you how much lux your keyboard is getting, and how much reserve power your keyboard has. I don't think I've ever dropped below 100% charge. The keyboard does not need a whole lot of light, and they claim it can go days in total darkness.

This is a solid performing drive for a fair price and has finally brought my computer to the SSD era, and is performing as expected. Windows 7 instantly recognized it as an SSD and no drivers or configuration was needed.

All it takes is the swipe of a finger. We connect with friends. We buy the latest gadgets and gear. We find out what's happening in the world. But with that same simple swipe, we cast an increasingly expansive shadow. With each connection, we leave a digital trail that tracks our every move and milestone, our every like and dislike. And it's not just people. Today, all major cities are networked. Urban infrastructures are monitored and controlled by complex operating systems.In Watch Dogs, this system is called the Central Operating System (CTOS) — and it controls almost every piece of the city's technology and holds key information on all of the city's residents. You play as Aiden Pearce, a brilliant hacker, whose criminal past led to a violent family tragedy. Now on the hunt for those who hurt your family, you'll be able to monitor and hack all who surround you by manipulating everything connected to the city's network. Access omnipresent security cameras, download personal information to locate a target, control traffic lights and public transportation to stop the enemy... and more.

This game feels like a mix of GTA, Red Dead Redemption and Assassins Creed. It has stealth, shoot outs, car races, police chases, and of course "hacking". "Hacking" is mostly just solving a generic puzzle, but the extra tools you get to evade capture, death, and failure is what makes this game stand out. You can't just escape from a shootout or a car chase just by ducking behind a building. If you liked any sandbox game, you'll probably find enjoyment in this one.

Enjoy a refreshing beverage with this SodaStream 1022493010 naturally sweetened cola sodamix. Sweetened exclusively with cane sugar, the highly concentrated syrup offers a tasty, fizzy drink.
Posted by: GoodSodaBadPackage
Verified Purchase:Yes
The taste of this is fine, and is a staple for any soda-stream user. This particular packaging however uses a large measuring cap for the 1L bottle, and seems to require a large amount of the syrup for the right flavor compared to other versions of this same syrup.
The result is a mess because pouring slowly causes the syrup to pour down the sides of the measuring cup and bottle, and pouring too quickly will cause the soda to overflow.
A cup this large for this much syrup needs a pouring lip.

I currently own an amazon echo. Do I need hubs for hue bulbs, then hubs for other items ie security, or is there a hub that covers the bulbs and general other items?

Is the second generation bridge Wi-Fi compatible. I don't want to have to hook up to a router is there anything I can use that just picks up Wi-Fi signal?
It needs to be hardwired, but its physical location isn't very important as long as it can communicate with at least one light. The lights can act as a "bridge" if some lights are out of range of the hub.

It has a feature that will connect multiple filp3 speakers together if you want to use them at the same time. If you're looking to just pair to different speakers, you could do that, but you might have to go through the pairing steps whenever you connected to a different speaker.

I bought the compressed air and used it on my computer and now every time I am on the computer I get a terrible bitter taste on my hands. How can I get this off of my keyboard?
Wipe the keyboard with a damp cloth. The bittering agent shouldn't have gotten on the keyboard unless you shook the can or turned it upside down.

Will the Lowpro Transit sling 150AW hold a Canon Rebel T3i and an extra lense??
This says for compact DSLR camera, so I don't know if the T3i will fit with this sling or do I need the larger Lowpro 250W Sling?
This should fit your gear. Might require a little finagling depending on the exact size of your camera and lens, but it will fit. I have a Nikon D5500 with a 55-300mm lens in addition to the kit lens in this bag, and some accessories. It's not a perfect fit, but it works.

Well, if it was the only harddrive in the computer, yes. That failed drive had *everything* on it.
