Excellent Pocket Digital Camera

on July 19, 2013

Posted by: medmike81

from East Lansing, MI

Verified Purchase:Yes

This is the third pocket-sized digital camera that I have bought in three years after being unsatisfied with the picture quality of the previous two, and I'm very happy with it so far. It takes very clear pictures... even in low light conditions. The processor of the camera seems to be significantly better than my previous two cameras as well with a very fast shutter speed. You don't have to be too tech-savvy as this camera is very user-friendly. The various picture mode dial is located on the top of the camera and can be easily adjusted with just a twist. Although it is on the more-expensive end of point-and-shoot digital cameras (without the exchangeable lenses) with an MRSP of $400, it has been well worth the money so far.

My Best Buy number: 2184541256

What's great about it: Good in low light, Good overall picture quality

What's not so great: Nothing so far

I would recommend this to a friend!

Sony - 43" Class - LED - X800E Series - 2160p - Smart - 4K UHD TV with HDR

Add an extra dimension to movies and video games with this Sony 4K smart television. Equipped with a vibrant wide-angle 43-inch display, the picture on this TV looks great no matter where you sit. Stream a range of exciting content on demand when you connect this Sony 4K smart television to your network wirelessly or via ethernet cable.

What is the best sound bar to use with this Sony TV, for ease of use, compatibility, quality of music and dialogue?

I would recommend the Sonos PLAYBASE or Sonos PLAYBAR. I have the Sonos PLAYBASE and two Sonos ONEs for this TV in my bedroom. I also have a PLAYBAR in my basement paired with the Sonos SUB and two Sonos PLAY:5s for my secondary TV room/rec room despite my Sony XBR 65-inch A1E OLED TV supposedly having an advanced built-in speaker system. Bulit-in speakers never sound that great in my opinion regardless of how advanced they claim to be. True surround sound with amp (or AV receiver) and wired speakers is always the best option, but not always the easiest to do unless you're building a new home. However, I will admit that I was pleasantly surprised how good the Sonos systems sound even when comparing them with my true 7.1 home theater setup with Bowers & Wilkins speakers. Plus, you don't necessarily have to buy all of the speakers at once. It is easily expandable. Hope this helps.

Need help deciding what tv--want good sound -want smart tv- want 43inch-easy to operate. 82 years of age not tech smart. Have samsung smart tv now--sound not so good. THANKS!

Best answer

Depending on how old your Samsung Smart TV is, if sound is all you are worried about, I would recommend just getting a sound bar. Samsung makes sound bars that would easily integrate with your TV if worrying about being tech savvy is an issue. The entry level Samsung sound bars are also pretty inexpensive, but would still be an upgrade from the speakers built into your TV. However, I would recommend the Sonos PLAYBASE or Sonos PLAYBAR over any of the Samsung sound bars. Now, if your Samsung Smart TV is older, and you also want to upgrade the TV for picture quality, apps, etc., I just bought the Sony 43-inch XBR X800E and a Sonos PLAYBASE for my office, and I think they pair well together. (I also bought the Sanus TV stand designed for a flat panel TV and the Sonos PLAYBASE.) The Sony TV is easy to operate and has a Netflix button on the remote, assuming this may be one major reason you want a new smart TV. Sonos is also a very user-friendly platform for people who are not necessarily tech savvy as one digital optical audio cable from the back of the TV plugs into the Sonos PLAYBASE or Sonos PLAYBAR giving you much better sound. The setup is easy and is done through an app. You don't even need another remote like many other sound bars. Plus, the Sonos system can be expanded easily for whole home audio if desired later down the road. I have a Sonos PLAYBAR, two Sonos PLAY:5s, and the Sonos SUB for my secondary TV room/rec room as I could not retrofit true home theater wiring for speakers, etc., very easily in my basement. I was pleasantly surprised how good the surround sound system sounds by pairing the Sonos PLAYBAR with the Sonos PLAY:5s and Sonos SUB. If you like surround sound, you could add the Sonos SUB and any of the Sonos PLAY series speakers (ONE, 1, 3, or 5) for rear surround speakers. They're all wireless and have their own amplifiers. All you need is a nearby outlet for the power cords. So, if good sound is something you desire, start off with the Sonos PLAYBASE or PLAYBAR and you can always add other speakers later on for a more realistic surround sound experience. I included links to the individual products below. Hope this helps.
