Good action camera
I bought this camera to use while riding my motorcycle. I have not had an opportunity to use it as much as I would like, but so far, I am very happy with this purchase. This is my first action camera and I can't see why I would need to get a different one as this one does what I want. The only thing I wish were different is there is no sound when it is in the case, which it needs to be when I am on the motorcycle.The camera is easy to use and set up which is greatly appreciated for a beginning user.

You get what you pay for (in a good way).
It is what it is. Don't expect to be lighting up a studio with this kit, but it does a great job and you'll get a lot for what you're paying. It comes with 3 light stands, a carrying bag, 2 white light umbrellas, 3 light heads to attach bulbs, and also 3 light bulbs (a nice bonus). The stands feel fairly sturdy and everything works the way you'd expect.I've been using mine for over a year and a half now and it still works great. I'm thinking of adding some more lights because these aren't super bright, but I never expected more for what I paid and I'm happy with it.I'd recommend this to anyone who's just getting started (not professionally though) and who wants to experiment with adding light to their photography or videos. It's sufficient for standard YouTube blogging videos as well.

Grandma approved
I haven't gotten the camera yet so I can't comment on the actual device, I can comment on some features I like. For one a person said that this is an excellent camera for a toddler which I like. My granddaughter will be 3 in July so I like that it's that simple. My daughter is in the process of an apprenticing to be a Wedding Photographer so she can shadow her mother when she's working. Other things I like are that its drop safe and requires batteries. I know everyone wants for devices to be internally rechargeable but I have an awesome Nikon camera that I paid a fortune for but the charging port has malfunctioned and is too old to fix. Its 5 years old. So a set of rechargeable batteries is better than losing the ability to use your camera altogether. Over all I'm looking forward to getting the camera and seeing the look on my granddaughters face when she gets to be like mommy!

I have rosacea
I have rosacea and saw my dermatologist. She prescribed mirvaso ($90.00 cream) that hurt my face and made the condition worse. I carefully researched the condition, purchased The Body Shop Tea Tree Skin Clearing Facial Wash, Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid, Resist C15 Super Booster (a vitimin C and E lotion) and the Eminence Blueberry Soy Night Recovery Cream. It didn't hurt my face (just a little sting with the BHA Liquid but nothing like the harsh "medicine" the doctor prescribed) and my skin is much improved. I use the Blueberry Soy as a day moisturizer too and add MD Solar Sciences Tinted Mineral Beauty Balm SPF 50. I was not paid for this review and I don't write them often but the products made such a difference I thought other women would really benefit.

Great camera and vendor
I wasn’t sure about buying a used DSLR without putting my hands in it first. There had to be dozens of used Canon T3 from an equal number of vendors. I chose one from Phototronics because of their description, the photo they provided of the gear, and the 100-day Hassle Free Return Policy. I paid for expedited delivery and it arrived a day earlier than promised! I was excited to get it, so arriving early was a great surprise. It was packed well, the gear clean and 100% functional. Promise made, promise delivered.The T3 itself is a great camera for entry into the art, and functional enough to backup your higher-end cameras. I learned photography long before digital cameras; my first working camera was a Canon F1 SLR - the camera used by US Navy photographers before digital. Even though there are better cameras out there, I am not disappointed with the Canon Rebel T3.

Astoundingly good for how inexpensive it is
I'm a an amateur videographer who does occasional paid work for small time clients. I also make a lot of videos for myself and for a couple of YouTube channels I run.When I'm indoors in a controlled setting, or have an assistant who can hold a boom pole, I'm generally going to reach for my Rode NTG-2 running into a Tascam DP-008ex.But when I'm doing kind of a run-and gun video and recording my own voice while moving around a lot, clipping this on my shirt and putting my iPhone in my pocket and using the free Voice Record app generates really impressively good audio. Not to mention it takes like 8 seconds to set up.Very happy with my purchase, and would recommend this to anyone who is just getting into videography or recording dialog, and wants a very inexpensive way to elevate their audio quality.

Great quality design and brightness for very cost
I like the remotes, the ease of use the effectiveness of three setting modes, adjusting mechanism of 3 adjustable rotating panels to direct the light where you want, for cost effective technology. Yesterday a cat passed under the swing set I had them mounted on and the lights turned on, I looked for intruders and it was just a ginger cat running in my yard, I went back inside and thought how great those lights on. I totally recommend them. I purchased a second set and taking all four of them to my vacation home in Africa where dissuasion of these lights will improve security for very affordable price since the sun shines all year there and no need for batteries. I am neither paid nor receiving gifts from the manufacturer but just providing my honest transparent feedback. I think I will buy 4 mores next year for my brother, I simply cannot carry 4 more in my luggage.

I love these little lights!
I previously bought plug-in versions of these night lights and was very pleased with them - the light is warm, the sensors work effectively and so they are the perfect night light, but our back staircase has no power points and is very dark, so I needed something battery operated at the top and bottom to light the stairs at night. I haaaaaaaate replacing batteries so I was really excited to find these babies! You just attach the magnetic pad to the wall with a command type strip and then the light just magnetizes to it. Simple! I've had these lighting my stairs when someone triggers them nightly for weeks on the same charge! I love that I can just plug them up to recharge them! I would definitely recommend these! I know this sounds like a gushy paid review lol but its not, it's just a boring Sunday morning and I thought I'd give credit where it's due! :-)

Black frame/gray lens - better than expected. Note
When these first arrived, I was surprised that they didn't have polarized lenses. But I took a closer look at the product page, and they never claim that they're polarized. So I'm keeping them - the promotional bonus items I got are almost worth the price I paid, and these would be OK in a pinch. They are very dark, darker than most of the polarized lenses I have. And they do cut SOME ambient glare, although when you reduce light transmission some of that is bound to be "glare."What's nice is that the gray is a neutral gray, so color differences can be seen. That can be important when looking at something like soils.Right out of the box they seem better made than the price would suggest. And the bonus microfiber cleaning cloth is bigger than you get with some other sunglass brands on Amazon, which is nice.
