Adapting Minolta lens to Sony E-mount is A-Okay
Shooting on a mirrorless camera is now a doorway to using vintage lenses, particularly with this MC/MD Minolta adapter from K&F Concept. As soon as it arrived I set out for a photo walk to capture the snowy scenes we still have as winter wanes. Manual lens adapters must do one thing well: create a connection that in no way hinders the capability of the manual lens to which a modern (mirrorless) camera can utilize. It must not allow stray light into the path from the lens to the sensor. From shooting in bright sun that is amplified by snow, I saw no evidence of such intrusion. Moreover, the lens snaps on with the same secure feeling as if it was attached to its native film camera (in this case, a Minolta X-370). The lens is easily removed, but no play while in use. The adapter itself feels VERY solid. It has the feeling of precision. I am pleased with the results, especially given the low-cost path to accessing vintage Minolta lenses...now to hit thrift stores in search of more MC/MD lenses!

fSTOP and check out this novelty camera lens mug!
This is a Christmas stocking gift, so I haven't seen my friend's reaction yet, but I love it and am excited to be giving it as a small gift. I like that it has two lids. The spoon is in good condition, too, although that was not a deal-breaker for me. The lid options were. Thanks for a nice product.

This is a great performer and an Amazing value!
I am going to keep it simple. Buy this camera! If you want more details, keep reading :)I was hesitant in buying this camera, my main camera is a 5DS R, but I needed something small and more flexible for travel and less formal photography outings. I wanted something that would play well with my EF lenses and I also didn't want to spend more than $1,000.00.I purchased at the same time the Fotodiox Pro EF lens mount adapter. It works flawless, so far, and all my EF lens work perfect!The EVF is one of the best I have seen! Being new to mirrorless cameras, it is so amazing to get a live preview of how pictures will turn out! I also like that I can now use the view finder when doing videos! The flip out touch screen is really great too - I set it so I can change the focus point by sliding my finger on it while holding my eye to the EVF.Speaking of focus, it has quick autofocus and tracks moving subjects very well. I had no issues when using the lens adapter and the adapted lens performed with no loss of performance. The kit lens works amazingly well and the picture quality is excellent.There are so many features packed into this little camera. Its does feel less solid than more expensive cameras and the 4k is held back. You have to ask yourself how important that is to you. Video is not my main thing so I don't mind. What is great though is that the dual pixel autofocus in 1080P mode works amazingly well and focus is probably more important than 4k for most folks these days.I also changed my menus to the classic Canon style as I am familiar with those from years of owning Canons. That goes a long ways to making the camera work for me.If you already have Canon lenses and you don't want to break the bank, this is an awesome camera to buy. I did not think I would like it this much but now I find myself using it all the time. When in doubt, always remember that some of the most beautiful and timeless photographs were taken with very basic old school film cameras. You can spend all day reading reviews and watching videos of people picking apart every last detail of a camera. Remember why you are buying a camera and just go out and take picutres!

Great Camera, No Settings and Privacy Lens Cover F
The webcam is easy to install and set up and goes on top of the monitor nicely. The only things I'd say is it would be nice to control the shutter speed because the lighting in my room makes it flicker. Also, the cover for the lens is very flimsy and breaks without trying. So I've given up on trying to provide privacy.

This has been a good scope with great optics
I purchased this scope about 5 years ago. This has been a good scope with great optics. I took this attached picture of the craters Cavelius, Hevelius, and Lohrmann with my SpaceProbe ST, a Barlow lens, the optional motor drive, and an Orion 5 Mp camera. Cameras seem to increase the magnification and with frame stacking, you can get very clear images. I don't really recommend the Orion camera, the software is not the best.

Great Little Camera - use the Lens Cover to block
This is a great little camera. I purchased it for work since MS Teams would continually freeze my Video feed on the built in camera on the Work Laptop. The only way to remedy this previously was to reboot the whole darn laptop. Very frustrating, unprofessional and a waste of time. With this little camera, when MS Teams freezes, I just unplug the camera and plug it back in. I can still here the meeting and the other meeting attendees just see a breeze Video freeze on my end. Great and EASY fix!!!My other tip is the other ridiculous "feature" of MS Teams.... The Fish Eye Lense: seriously who wants 72 feet wide of their home office on view??? Who does this flatter? (Every other Video Meeting app streams in portrait but not MS Teams ugh). So when I installed the Lens Cap on this little USB Camera I installed it ROTATED off to the side. This way I only open the Lens Cap 70% and the other meeting attendees only see the portion of my home office I want them to see.Great little device. Highly recommend.

Great! Night Vision Nitpick
One Nitpick (otherwise great): the night vision is Infrared and is pretty good. One problem is that the WiFi antennas emit light in the infrared cameras and can sometimes make everything beyond them pitch black. The amount of obscured view depends on how much of the antenna is in view of the lens. The more you can see the lens, the less the night vision works. It’s still a great working night vision camera though with that said if you just position the camera at the correct angle at night.This is a great camera! It has good camera resolution. It also has many different settings that make it easier to capture what you want to capture on video. It stores a pretty good amount of videos and pictures for free, so (as long as you delete old video notifications), you will have a lot of free video storage without paying for the subscription. Although, after having it without the subscription, I would like the subscription ability to add a trigger zone/activation area for areas in view of the camera. Good camera. My battery operated one (not solar) has been put up for a while and hasn’t died yet so that’s pretty good too.
