GoPro - HERO5 Black 4K Action Camera - black
- Model: CHDHX-501
- SKU: 5579154
Hero 5...5 Star...I purchased for my husband after returning a dash cam (the installation seemed too complicated) and just used a go pro mount on his dashboard and it works perfectly as a dash cam and now we have the option to use the cameras elsewhere too....The camera is a good "action" cam, but the app definitely is not, takes way too long to load, can be buggy, and does not always allow you to perform the desired and needed tasks (tells me the camera is busy when I need to change a parameter) I use this camera remotely almost all the time, meaning it is not within reach during shoots, so many missed opportunities because of this.

So fun...Love it...This I think is the most ideal instant camera there is a new one and as long as you dont NEED square pictures I think this guy will do the trick...This Christmas I bought the 7 mini I was happy with it and thought it was a fine camera but after seeing this one at best buy I thought to myself maybe ive made the wrong decision so I picked this guy up the very same day and I dont regret it, I returned the 7 mini after seeing the improvements this has made from it, the button as opposed to puilling the camera out to turn it on the light meter to show the recommended lighting setting.

- SKU: 5580130
Love !...Love it...As someone who has used a variety of camera's from a 35mm Pentax to a Point and Shoot Canon I have some experience but am by no means a pro with years of photography in different situations....Other than the auto focus being a little off I do enjoy the photos I don't do too many parties, i'm more of into portraits so the auto focus isn't really a big deal for me but still took a star off.

wow !...In love...This camera can do it all the only down side is the kit lens as it is ok for home use but if you require pro photos then you will need to buy lens that cost as much as the camera or twice as much the only ones that are affordable and great imaging are the sigma art 60mm f/2.8 lens and the 50mm f/1.8 Prime lens...These mirrorless cameras will be a lot easier to carry around, which may not be a big deal for someone who will drive to a place and take photos but for walking to the place or riding a bicycle, it makes a lot of difference.

- SKU: 4750000
In love...Not bad...These Sony Mirrorless systems have essentially the same sensors as their DSLR counterparts, but are a lot smaller and lighter and you aren't paying as much for the name as you are with Cannon and Nikon....I would have to say that this is the best camera that I have ever purchased it takes phenomenal photos and it still compact enough to travel with and not feel as if you have an entire suitcase to cart with you to take good photos The features on the camera are awesome and the zoom lens that it did come with in the bundle does an amazing job and taking close up and personal shots from a distance.

Sony - Handycam CX405 Flash Memory Camcorder - Black
- Model: HDRCX405/B
- SKU: 2964179
It's OK...5 Stars...Buying a separate charger for the batteries might be a good idea as you have to charge the batteries IN THE CAMERA which means you can't use the camera at that time OR must remember to charge the batteries over night or when the camera is not being used....in the daytime or very well lit places this camera shines, at night time not so much you can see a little bit of distortion but not as much as will be a deal breaker.

Not bad...Love it...This camera is an amazing camera with 20.3 mp and a 40x optical zoom I don't even need the digital zoom this camera is as close as professional as you can get for a good price couldn't ask for more from a camera...I live my larger and fancier cameras but in a travel situation the ease in carrying this camera and the simplicity to use and get good photos makes it an invaluable camera to have.

Nikon - COOLPIX B500 16.0-Megapixel Digital Camera - Black
- Model: 26506
- SKU: 4997200
Love it...It's ok...Only thing she really wanted was a camera with a rechargeable battery rather than replaceable batteries but overall she's happy with it and we got a great deal at the time!...The good thing about this camera is that it is light to load it, very good photos with a lot of clarity, but its disadvantage is that it is a bit slow when you change your cursor position and you do not have the option to make a long video, otherwise very good .
