Yes, I have a bunch of Wasabi batteries for several cameras and camcorders and a couple of other brands when they were on sale. I read an article years ago that listed the brand names the company that makes Wasabi products builds cores or complete batteries for. (some house brands of big Camera Dealers). That same article hinted strongly that the same factory makes brand name batteries and cores on contract. If it is good enough for the brand name it is good enough for me. And a cheaper price doesn't hurt in the least.

I admit to not being much of a TV watcher, but I do like to listen to music and read and have the TV on in the background as sort of an "electronic fireplace." Some multi-channel streaming services offer nature photography, but they tend to be advertisement based, and even with the sound muted, these ads can be disruptive.

Sony, however, has capitalized on their powerhouse status as both an electronics giant as well as a camera maker, and has combined the two into a nifty, but often overlooked feature on their "smart" TVs.

I bought a Sony Bravia TV last year, and while it packs a lot of features into its 55" size, one thing that's easy for me to overlook is a feature called "Living Decor." This is a built-in app that runs a continuous slide show of landscape photography (or other categories, but I like the landscapes) taken by Sony cameras. The gimmick is that each scene is multiple captures - all by the same camera at the same location - at different times of the day. For example, the picturesque Austrian town of Halstadt during daylight, evening and fog. The camera and lens used is presented in a brief intro and the images are then faded into one another before moving on to another scene.

The photography is impressive, and I find it very relaxing to use when I'm not dedicating 100% of my attention to the television.
