[ad_1] The Fire 7 tablet is Amazon’s more affordable slate that’s normally priced at $50, but it’s a better buy at this sale price considering its lackluster performance and batter life. In general, we prefer the Fire HD 8 tablet for its increased power, refined design and USB-C charging port — thankfully, that’s on sale […]

Sony ZV-1 review: A portable vlogging camera with few weaknesses
[ad_1] While you can use a Gorillapod or other portable mini tripod, Sony offers the ZV-1 in a kit with a shooting grip (along with a 64GB SD card).

It’s your primary tool for stealthily assassinating unwary Mongols. This duality plays into one of the game’s larger themes. At the […]
Sony Xperia 1 ii review: Sony’s best phone in years
[ad_1] Lots of cameras, even more control The Xperia 1 ii has a handful of cameras on its back, and it’s worth working through them in order: At the top is a 12MP ultra-wide-angle camera with an f/2.2 aperture and phase detection autofocus. It captures a 124-degree field of view with the equivalent of a […]
