This is the kind of deal I'm here for. Don't need it, as I already have the Pros. But considering getting one as a gift.. Great first post…

No

What

Wouldn’t the metal affect wireless signals? I imagine it could attenuate wifi/bluetooth/cellular signals and cause the phone to burn…

This looks like a good deal. But I highly recommend getting one with a dock. I bought a Roborock Q8 Max+ for $384 back in August (Amazon…

I want to know this too

I wouldn’t sweat about it being plastic. The build quality is fantastic and it still has a metal mount. In fact I’m happy it’s in…

If you like to shoot close subjects (think food/flowers/insects), avoid the XF23mm f2. Images are very soft at f2 when focusing on close…

Highly recommend the Sigma 18-50mm f2.8. It's on my XT3 90% of the time. **Pros:** - Fixed aperture makes it way better than Fuji's 16-50mm…

What's the autofocus like? I'm on an older XT3 and frustrated at the AF, specifically face and eye recognition. Heard the latest models are…

What's the autofocus like? I love Fuji, but man the AF sucks. I have an older XT3. Heard the latest Fuji bodies still suck at AF compared…

It **is** quite intuitive. Problem is that it takes a fair bit of trial and error to develop; lots of people (myself included) want to know…

Reading your response, I realise I already intuitively do some of those things (e.g. touch edge of steak to pan to listen for sizzle, lay…

Thanks for sharing. How do you gauge the temp if the pan is heated dry/empty (no oil, since the oil is on the steaks as I suggested to OP)?…

I tend to drop a lot of water into the pan to test (think lots of very large droplets). And it takes me some time to eventually put the…

What about a small tree and I have a ladder on hand?

Is this actually good? Reliable and enough power?

This is the way :D

True. But I have the exact same pan as OP (two, in fact) and heat colouring on mine looks very different from OP's pic.

Don't think it's heat discolouration. Heat discolouration has an iridescent quality. This looks like burnt oil. Agree that polishing (e.g.…

Heat colouring will have an iridescent quality (i.e. changing colours like the bottom of a CD). But yes, bar keepers friend might do the…

Stainless refers to rust, not these kinds of stains.

True, but your kitchen doesn't have to look or function like a commercial kitchen.

1. With stainless steel pans, try to match pan size to what you're cooking. Smaller/fewer steak(s) --> use smaller pan. If there is too…

Strong disagree. With appropriate cooking technique the pan shouldn't turn out like that, especially after washing.

How do you pay over the phone? Do you get a link to complete the purchase? Yea agreed. Price match at Apple Store + gift cards, then GST…

I’ve not thought about that!! Do I have to go in store to price match? And if I pay with gift cards, can I still preload them into my…

This deal is easier than buying via Apple Gift Cards at 10% off. Though if you’re looking to claim GST on a flight out, buying from Apple…

Slight downgrade. You lose: Better main camera sensor, telephoto lens, larger screen.

You either have the coolest name or great taste in games, Threepwood.
