Sigma 18-50mm F2.8 DC DN Review: Best All-Rounder for Sony E-Mount?
There are a lot of zoom lenses for Sony E-mount cameras out there, however, not many achieve the right balance of portability, speed and cost like this particular Sigma lens does. The 18-50mm F2.8 DC DN Contemporary is a compact everyday lens which is made for travel photographers, vloggers, and everyone who is tired of switching primes all the time. This lens represents a rather unique position in Sigma's portfolio as it offers wide and telephoto angles of view in one lightweight barrel which can be left on the camera all the time. During our tests, we tried to find out how effective this lens is in portrait photography, street shooting, low light conditions and whether the constant F2.8 aperture and APS-C-oriented range are worth their name or this is just another reliable zoom lens based on popularity of the brand.

Sony Alpha ZV-E10K Review: Is This Still the Vlogger's Camera to Beat?

LG AI Dual Inverter AC Review: How Smart Is the AI Cooling?
Products with AI branding usually do not live up to their promise with smart functions being nothing but a marketing buzzword. The idea of LG's 1.5 Ton 5 Star Dual Inverter AC is to have the AI mode that learns the environment and adjusts cooling automatically, without any need to change temperature manually according to changing conditions of the day.

LG Dual Inverter AC Review: Does the Anti-Virus Filter Matter?
Most air conditioners go untested when it comes to indoor air quality, focusing instead on the time it takes to cool down a space or its energy efficiency. The thing is, there is no reason not to care about what the air you breath inside an air conditioned room contains apart from the temperature of this air. The new LG Dual Inverter AC has anti-virus HD filter among its specifications besides all those conventional features and is marketed towards buyers concerned about what is circulating in the room besides what is displayed on the screen.

LG 1.5 Ton AC: One Month In, Does It Handle Peak Summer?

LG 1.5 Ton 5 Star AI Split AC: Who Is This Really Built For?
Though it is true that all 5-star inverter ACs are not created equal and work best for different settings, there is an impression in the market that any 5-star inverter split AC is good for a certain range of pricing brackets. The LG 1.5 Ton 5 Star AI Dual Inverter AC comes with too many features including convertible cooling capacity and anti-virus filter. Hence, there are households that will find these features as unnecessary expenses and others that will derive full benefits of it depending on the room sizes and usage frequency.

LG 1.5 Ton 5 Star AI Inverter AC: How Quiet Is It Really?
Cooling performance gets top billing in any air conditioning review, but noise is the key factor which determines whether this or that air conditioner will be comfortable to live with.

The switch from a smartphone to a mirrorless camera may be quite intimidating for a user and autofocus is typically the very thing that will make him/her struggle if he/she will have to dig into menus in order to focus correctly. The Sony Alpha 6100 claims itself to have a very good hybrid autofocus system which is both quick and accurate.

Sony Alpha 6100 Kit Review: Ideal for Family Travel Photos?
The specifics of family travel photography differ from most other photography areas: the camera should be not heavy to carry throughout the day, fast to capture a specific moment, and have some leeway to compensate for the inability of a toddler to stand still. In this regard, based on available information, we decided to analyze the Sony Alpha 6100 kit and its paired lenses of 16-50 mm and 55-210 mm during several weekends and regular family walks to see how suitable it is for family travel photography, rather than being a perfect camera only in controlled conditions.

The Sony Alpha 6100 kit at ₹73,159 comes with two lenses, which gives another spin on the matter of whether this price tag makes sense compared to other alternatives, as well as whether this price can compete with other options available at the moment, including both the cheaper entry-level cameras and other more expensive Sony cameras with only one lens included in the kit.
