I ended up returning the Laptop. Thanks for the help though.

I recently got this laptop and ever since I got it I've noticed that the screen is always dark. The only time I've noticed that it is at it's full brightness is when it is plugged in. Is there a way to make it have this full brightness when it is not plugged in?

The SL2 is a decent beginner camera. If you want to do video then this will be the best camera of the ones you've mentioned. It has a touchscreen and fully articulating screen. It also has Canon's Dual Pixel Autofocus which is very good. And the T7i and SL2 are essentially the same but the SL2...

Larger apertures or smaller f/stops such as f/1.4 are used to have blur or depth of field. Smaller apertures or larger f/stops such as f/8 are used to have everything in the image to be sharp. So if you are taking a picture of say a mountain and the surroundings, you would want to have a smaller...

Yeah, I saw it online, though the link is just to the laptop but it is customizable so that would only give a range of numbers for it. Anyways...

I am trying to find the model number of this laptop, is it by HP it has: Ryzen 5 2500u 8 GB DDR4-2400 SDRAM (1 x 8 GB) RAM 15.6" diagonal FHD SVA anti-glare WLED-backlit (1920 x 1080) 1 TB 5400 rpm HDD HP's standard Keyboard 802.11b/g/n/ac (1x1) Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.2 combo. On HP's website...

If you are looking into a zoom lens, the 70-300mm Canon lens is considered the worst lens in their line up. For much a faster and better lens I would get the 55-250mm STM lens.

For full frame, and HD video, and raw, you can get the Nikon D610 for just under $1k. Though there is no DSLR that shoots HD at 120 fps under $1k. The Nikon D610 is good for portraits also.

Most good 4k Camcorders are in the $800-$1000 range so I don't think you would want to go to that but there is always a GoPro. If you want one in that range I would suggest the Sony FDR-AX53. It is currently $849 on Amazon...

Unfortunately, I do not believe there is one that records directly to a USB drive. Though, what you could do is have a camcorder plugged into say a laptop via a USB HDMI capture device, such as an Elgato cam link, then record the video with a capture software such as OBS (free) and have the...

So, my TV won't turn on. It is a Hitachi 42". I have tired unplugging and replugging it. It does work sometimes but it eventually goes back to this state. When I plug it it the screen blinks with just gray and goes back to dead. When it is normal there is a red light indicator that is on when it...
