Sony DSC-HX99 Review! Perfect Travel Camera?

So I normally travel with my heavy Sony A77 DSLR and Olympus TG3 Tough camera. I love both of them, but I wanted to lighter zoom travel camera for vlogging and light packing. I saw the Sony HX99 and thought it had all the right specs, so I bought one online (
I https://amzn.to/2IhQ97f ) and made this review.

  • PROS:
  • Zoom (Zeiss glass 24mm to 720mm optical, with additional 2x digital zoom,
  • light weight ,
  • electronic viewfinder for photographing in the sun,
  • USB charging (so I can use my cell phone charger)
  • super compact
  • Touch screen
  • Face tracking
  • fast autofocus
  • Under $450
  • Compact Digital 18.2 MP
  • 4K Video
  • Tiltable LCD
  • CONS:
  • Image quality is not as good as expected (probably due to the small sensor)
  • Higher ISO gets fuzzy
  • Accidental Touch screen focus.
  • Complex setup and menu system
  • Sony Camera App to Smartphone didn’t work for me for my Samsung S8 🙁

Conclusion:
Overall is it worth it? If you want to travel with just a smart phone and need a small ultra zoom camera with a lot of great features to take a photo or video to post to your favorite social media platform, this may be the one. Light compact and full of utility. Don’t expect to zoom into your photos for lots of detail, because of the small sensor size its kinda muddy.

Trying out 3 Steering Wheel Covers on my Honda! Review ($15-$20)

Steering Wheel Cover Review ($15-$20) – I bought 3 steering wheel covers for my 2018 Honda Clarity and Accord in different styles ( https://amzn.to/2EyDJ7Q ) to try out. Of all my Honda’s I found that the Clarity’s steering wheel was harder and colder during my morning drives. I tried SEG Direct microfiber leather steering wheel cover , SHIAWASENA Steering wheel cover $16 https://amzn.to/2EyDJ7Q , and a off the shelf Walmart steering wheel cover.

I was wearing gloves to void touching the cold steering wheel. So I decided to go shopping for a good steering wheel cover that was soft and insulated me from the cold. My Youtube vlogs may also have associated affiliate links to products that may earn from qualifying purchases.

I first bought a $12 Walmart Auto Drive Steering wheel cover for 14-15 inch steering, however while it looked good, it was too big for my Honda steering wheel. It had extras space on the sides of the wheel and was not snug.

The SEG Direct microfiber leather steering wheel cover which was very popular $16 with a lot of reviews and a textured surface. SHIAWASENA Steering wheel cover $16 https://amzn.to/2EyDJ7Q which had a smooth surface and patterned with red stitching.

Both of these steering wheel covers did not feel like real leather, even though the description said “genuine leather” . Both installation of these covers were a little more difficult than the one purchased at Walmart. Tight fitting and no slip, they did not have any gap after the install. The only gripe is the packaging crease on the covers. With the bend shipping, the creases showed on the material. More so on the SEG Direct Steering wheel cover with multiple bends in packaging. It needed a few hours for the bends to disappear. I installed this on to my Honda Accord.

For my 2018 Honda Clarity, both 15 inch covers fit perfectly. Only time will tell whether the material will be durable in the sun and car heat. I kept both the the SHIAWASENA one and SEG cover as both worked very well. I used one on my Accord and the other on my Clarity.

Sweet Costco now has COMVITA  and Melora New Zealand UMF Certified Manuka honey on sale! Comvita Manuka Honey UMF 10+ (17 oz), Comvita Manuka Honey UMF 5+ in a HUGE (35 oz) and Melora Manuka Honey UMF 5+ (2.2 lb) are all priced at $36.99!   They are similarly priced at on Amazon ( http://amzn.to/2FLkQ39 )    for Comvita and  ( https://amzn.to/2tgjLZj ) for Melora. Btw, my Youtube vlogs and reviews may also have associated affiliate links to products that may earn from qualifying purchases.

I found the Comvita brand in Northern California.  while I found the Melora brand in Southern California. Costco just restocked Melora New Zealand 10+ UMF Manuka honey on sale! The Melora Manuka Honey is 10+ UMF + (1.1 lb or 500g ) are all priced at $31.99! They are similarly priced at on Amazon ( https://amzn.to/2tgjLZj ) for Melora.

I current eat about 1 to 3 jars of Manuka honey every year and found I prefer 10+ UMF honey more as it has a good balance of rich sweet flavor, aroma, and texture. I noticed that the higher the UMF the denser the honey and flavor. 10+ was a good balance.

I bought a lot of Manuka honey over the years, most have been from Costco and Amazon. I made a taste test video prior.
