The best gets better

Verified Purchase:Yes
This the third iteration of Roku Streaming Sticks (RSS) I've purchased, and with each newer version, they get noticeable better. This latest version will even turn your TV on and off, and will adjust the volume. The boot process takes MUCH less time than prior versions; this one is up and running in seconds. I recall the first gen RSS taking so long, I had time to make a snack.
Along with this great product, the Roku app has gotten much better. The apps that you have installed on your stick are in the exact same layout in the app. That's a nice feature when you're too comfortable to move, and your remote is WAYYY over there!! (6 feet away... but still)
Although the Firestick is probably outselling the Roku (more so for its versatility), for my money, this is the better product

Perfect for travel

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is the perfect case to transport or store your equipment, but I found it less than convenient to work out of. I still use my gadget bag when I go on shoots.
This case is well constructed and rolls smoothly. It's large enough to support three of my super large lenses thanks to its adjustable compartments.
Downside: It has no external pockets, which mean you have to open the entire case to access any items you may need, whereas my gadget bag has several exterior pockets that allow me to quickly grab an item on the fly.
Also, if you store too many items in the zippered compartments you won't be able to safely store your laptop in the front panel compartment.
Overall, it's a great buy if you have a lot of equipment and you've outgrown your other storage bags.

Impressive transfer speed

I was looking to buy a faster card when I purchased my camera, but this was the fastest card they had in stock and I really needed a card that day. I have to say that this card is impressive. Its transfer rate is slightly slower than the professional version, but I haven't experienced any buffering problems, even when shooting at ten frames per second.

Great for sports and wildlife
on August 15, 2017
Posted by: Wanderer59
from Rochester, NY
Verified Purchase:Yes
The only reason I purchased this particular camera is because of the sick 10 frame per second shutter speed. As a wildlife photographer, that feature was difficult to pass up. Not only that, but the write speed to the card is also fast. Just for giggles, I held the shutter button down to see how long it would shoot continuously before buffering. After a 30 seconds I released the shutter and it still hadn't buffered. It would have gone longer than that, but 30 seconds was proof enough for me.
I upgraded to this camera from the Canon T6s, which had a touch screen, and other really nice features that this camera doesn't have. which is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. Granted, this particular model is three years old, I'm sure the next iteration will have a touch screen. In the meantime, I'll have to be satisfied using the multi-controller.
I shoot outdoors predominantly, and don't do much studio work, which is where the Wi-Fi adapter would have come in handy, but it's still a nice feature to have. I simply don't have the need to use my phone or tablet to control the camera.
The GPS feature is also very cool, because with the software I use, I can show people exactly where a particular shot was taken using Google Maps or Google Earth. Just remember to turn the GPS feature off when storing your camera or it will murder your battery!
It's not a Full Frame camera, it's an APS-C. But it's still a versatile camera to shoot with.

Always helpful to have a spare adapter.

I was stuck far too often with being on the road and forgetting to pack my iPad's power adapter. If you've ever used your iPad in airports or coffee shops, I'm certain I've asked if I could use your charger for 15 minutes or so to get a quick charge (on the plus side, I've always offered to pay for your beverages).
When I saw this adapter on Best Buy, it just made sense to buy another one and keep it in my travel case.

Impressive transfer speed

After a decade of not needing CompactFlash cards, I purchased a new camera that required the use of them again, so I had to buy a new card reader.
While doing my research, I was impressed by the transfer rate of this card. I saw less expensive readers, but the transfer rates were slower, and when transferring hundreds of massive RAW files, speed was vital.
I especially liked the fact that this reader utilized my USB-C port, which allowed me to use this device without unplugging a device from my other USB ports.
Highly recommended.

It does its job...kinda...

Verified Purchase:Yes
I know people were disappointed by the fact that this case doesn't have the sleep/wake feature, but that doesn't bother me too much; I don't have a problem with pressing a button to turn on my device on and off. The case seems to offer decent protection from short drops, as long as the device doesn't land on one of its corners. If that happens, I hope you purchased the AppleCare, because you'll more than likely be dealing with a cracked screen.
Targus makes a lot of high quality cases that offers good protection from drops, but this is not one of them. Keep looking.

Love the size

Verified Purchase:Yes
Ordinarily, I skip a few iterations before upgrading iPads, but I was intrigued by the 10.5" screen of the new iPad Pro. I bought last year's 9.7 Pro and liked it a lot, but after browsing in a Best Buy store, I saw this shiny new toy and liked it immediately. I never cared for that 12 inch monster, but this size is great for reading on, although, I must say that certain apps (games) don't run well on the larger display (i.e Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit)
Other than that, it's a great buy.

Two essential lenses!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I walked into Best Buy one evening to buy two lenses. Specifically, these two lenses! I wanted a wide angle for landscapes; and everyone who owns a DSLR should own a 50mm lens. I was excited to see this bundle; especially because it was on sale!
Even if you own a cropped sensor (or APS-C) camera, the 10-18mm lens still offers a very acceptable wide angle perspective. The "nifty fifty" lens speaks for itself. It's a 'great walking' around lens to have on your camera. In my city, we have several really large summer festivals; this lens is perfect for taking portrait shots of festival visitors and friends. It provides outstanding bokeh for your portrait shots. Also, if you insist on insulting a DSLR by using it for taking selfies, the 50mm is right up your alley. (I regret offering that suggestion...)
I gave this bundle four stars because the pricing doesn't save you much money at all if you purchase the lenses separately. But I got it on sale, which made this bundle a no brainer!
In any event, if you're a serious photographer, these two lenses should be in your gadget bag.

Meh...

Verified Purchase:Yes
I received this kit free when I purchased a Canon lens bundle online. The kit contained a few nice items, but nothing spectacular, in fact, far from it. For me, the most useful item in the package was the bubble level. Had I not gotten this for free, I wouldn't pay $20 for it, in fact, not even $10. It feels like something you'd get from one of those awful Yugster Bundles.
This thing is VASTLY overpriced; the only people who would benefit from it are beginners who have absolutely no camera accessories.
Save your money and buy only the items you'll actually use, separately. You probably won't even use most of this nonsense.

Attach this Tamron 18-400mm lens to your DSLR camera, and take incredible shots no matter your subject. Compatible with both Canon APS-C format cameras, the lens delivers everything from ultra-close captures of wildlife to detailed portraits and landscapes. This Tamron 18-400mm lens features a moisture-resistant construction that's idea for the rigors of travel.
 

Does this lens fit the Canon 80D

This lens is designed for APS-C cameras with an EF-S mount; the 80D is an APS-C camera.
It should work fine

Elite Platinum Air Fryer: Cook up your family's favorites with this fryer, which uses heated air vapors to ensure crispy, healthier French fries without the mess of oil. The 3.5-quart basket holds up to 2.5 lbs. of food to make enough for everyone.
 

Does this fryer come with a divider for the tray to cook two items at the same time? If not, what can I use to create a divider that's safe?

It does not come with a divider, but you can use any material that's safe to use in an oven, without any problems.

Is the tray non-stick? If yes, does the coating come off easily? Thanks.

I fried chicken breasts in the fryer when i first tried it, and they stuck to the tray, big time!
So, I coat the tray with Pam before I fry anything now and haven't had any problems since then.
