my first Sony product was actually the Sony walkman yeah the gray and yellow one yes that
was my very first sony product that i bought with my own money there's so much good stuff
yeah and we know a lot about the cameras and lenses and all that stuff but there's
other products that we're really excited to to dig our hands into and just explore more
one of the best things about Sony especially this time of year is that they have products for pretty
much everyone so whether they're a gamer music lover traveler movie lover uh don't forget about
the content creators like ourselves i actually have my eye on a few things i might be getting
myself or even you oh yeah yeah like all of them i kind of want all of them right now yeah there
are so many incredible products in front of us so let's talk about them we have the XG500 i don't
know about you but some of my favorite content to watch is like traveling and adventure and i
think that the XG500 would be great for some of these creators you know who this would be good for
cody blue and victoria they make amazing travel adventure videos and i think a speaker like this
would be pretty awesome for their adventures what do you think yeah because the XG500 you have water
resistant dust proof and up to 30 hours which is great for light camping trips you won't have to
worry about charging it that's pretty incredible and it's lightweight oh and you know what else
there's lights on the side lights and lightweight i really love these this is the WF-1000XM4
essentially the earbud version of the WH-1000XM4 i believe you get up to 24 hours with the charging
case which is a very long time this is actually great especially for those of you that edit in
the morning and have kids like sometimes i put one earbud in one ear and that you know if the baby's
crying i can like listen for the baby while i edit and so yeah this is this is a really good option
for those of you that love earbuds whenever i talk to someone with these earbuds that they always say
how amazing i sound and it's probably because of the cadence of my voice this is the technology
i'm gonna just stop listening to you now jenna i have something important to tell you jenna
nothing
i think this next one might be a little too hot to handle why because we have the sony bravia
XR X90J behind us i feel toasty already right isn't it nice and i also hear that it's great
for gaming i hear it's optimized for playstation 5. i love gaming and watching movies so this has
the cognitive processor xr which understands how we see and hear so it makes for that realistic
picture and this tv also has a full array led which produces incredible contrast deep blacks
vibrant colors and a great brightness this also has a super fast google tv interface integrated
into the tv for all of your streaming needs and makes it a little bit easier to watch your
favorite content creators that's a hint it is go watch i'm very excited about this i'm excited that
it's optimized for the playstation 5 and funny enough i'm actually starting a gaming channel
with my son later next year and this would be perfect for my son for your for your son six
years old for your son six years old one of the things i always loved about going to the movies
was having that immersive sound but the good news is is i can now have that same quality in my home
we have the HT-A5000 and this is a premium experience for listening to movies or even music
and what's really cool about the sound bar is that you can calibrate to whatever room
that the sound bar will be in and it'll give you that movie theater quality which is awesome and it
looks really good this also has dolby atmos and dtsx which will give you that multi-dimensional
sound quality that will fill your room and it will make popcorn wait really no it's a sound bar
of course we have to talk about this beauty now this is the l s p x s three glass sound speaker
this is a speaker it's crazy right it's like the perfect gift for pretty much anyone speaking of
gift so my sister is actually redoing her studio and i was like i'll get you like a
little it's kind of like a housewarming gift but like a studio woman gift um and now i have found
the perfect gift for her i have the gift and i'm about to give it to my sister because i think it's
gonna be perfect for her new studio just what is this gift for you oh my goodness for me for you
whoa isn't it cool wait this is a speaker yes i thought it was a lamp
exactly it's both no way yeah it'll look great on your set this is awesome that's so
sneaky cool like it looks like a lamp but it's also a speaker yeah we'll wait until you play
some tunes from it oh my gosh happy holidays merry christmas thank you this is a cool gift
jenna what's that i'm actually very glad you asked because this is something i've had my eye on this
is the NB10 wireless neckband speaker so you know how we've been working from home a lot we do a lot
of stuff with you know editing calls sometimes your ears get tired well guess what Sony has a
solution for that something like that would be very practical for me to wear and listen to my
podcast while cleaning my kitchen and as much as i love cleaning my sister is exactly the same she
loves cleaning too and so i'm probably going to surprise her with this gift because she's
going to love cleaning and listening to her music or podcast or talking to her big brother
this is so cool
oh my gosh so now let's talk about cameras this is very exciting i mean as you guys may or may
not know we are content creators i have been team Sony for quite some time now so this is
where we're gonna shine we have the Alpha 7 IV where this is the it's actually a little
bit closer to you this is the newest latest and greatest from the sony imaging it is so
nice it is like the most amazing hybrid camera perfect for hybrid shooters creators that want
to shoot amazing photography at 33 megapixels want to shoot amazing 4k 10 bit 422 video has a fully
articulating flip out screen like this camera can do it all you can actually get the kit this
lens is the the 20 to 70 millimeter standard zoom lens and if this is your first time getting a lens
i would definitely recommend getting a standard zoom lens so that you know you have a lot of range
to play with but this this is this is my favorite camera of this year it really is yeah and like you
said it really is the perfect hybrid so if you're like you know i want to take pictures but i also
want to do video and this does do 4k 60 which is really great i have been testing it out and it is
so nice and like you said about the the kit lens i think that that is the perfect
focal length another thing i use it for is it's really easy when you plug it into a laptop it will
automatically pop up on the screen if you want to transfer media or live stream so this is a really
great device for live streaming as well yeah i'm excited to have this on my camera bag i really am
oh me too i'm like looking at it like you're gonna be mine soon now sometimes carrying a big camera
can be a little challenging a little intimidating but what kind of camera do we always have with us
at all times i mean i always have a phone on me at all times well there is the Xperia PRO-I which is
well it's a phone but it combines all of Sony's imaging technology into this amazing product
it's a well it's a 4k camera one inch sensor the same sensor as the rx100 mark 7 mind you there
are three lenses on the camera you can shoot at 16 millimeters 24 millimeters and 50 millimeters
so incredible versatility those are all my favorite millimeters mine too can you believe it
and yeah like you said the one inch sensor so you're going to have that like a great detail
resolution it's gonna be great and you can do 4k 120. do you remember when it came to a camera we
were like this is huge and now you can have it in your pocket at all times it's amazing you can
pair it with the vlog monitor which is great if you want to you know vlog with yourself and this
is this is way less intimidating to vlog with when you're traveling right than carrying a big camera
you can also pair it with the sony wireless bluetooth shooting grip so that way you can
you know hold it out and you can see yourself so you can utilize those back cameras and also have
a little monitor the monitor might be the cutest thing i've ever seen it's super cute right it's
so practical and it's so cute and i love this little setup here because you can also i think
uh put a microphone on there as well and it's a phone up next is the retro challenge
now this is gonna be a fun little game that's gonna happen in every
episode where we have to guess a retro piece of gear that sony has made in the past
75 years so there's going to be three questions okay what is it what year did it come out and
how much did it cost the year that it came out oh man okay we do have a couple hints
that we were given too so we're not like completely going in you know blindfolded so
it's going to be interesting what do you think it is this this kind of looks like a handle
yeah i want to say a boombox oh yeah i want to say boombox well i think the only way that we can
really start this game is to unveil this retro tech and see what it is ready three two one go
it it is i guess it's like wait okay did we officially start the guessing i mean we know what
it is i mean yeah it's uh it's an audio player it is do you remember this i do is it really heavy
oh yeah it is portable it is it's like actual tech all right so i'm gonna go first i'm just gonna say
it's a cassette player keep it very generic okay all right it is a portable party boombox
did you try to lift it up how portable so next question okay what year did it come out we we were
provided some hints uh top gun was the number one movie have you seen it i have me too but
that doesn't help me with my it does not with my uh years um that's what friends
are for was the number one song oh good song see this is where my trivia works
really bad at trivia okay all right all right i wanna say this was made in 1988
oh yeah i don't know okay that's my i don't have the answers 1982 1982.
well now i'm rethinking mine but is that your year no
i'm gonna i was gonna say that it was 1987. um okay now we have to figure out how much
this cost in that specific year it cost 49.99 in 1982. thanks
yeah i'm gonna go with $189.97. Now in order for us to win our price has to be the closest to
the actual price all right so you went way over 100. all right i have a safe a safe number so
shoot okay are we are we ready for this am i ready to win i've locked it in i'm gonna take out the
clip it's very heavy we should guess how heavy it is there you go bonus points okay here we go
it is a boom box does it count that i have other words attached to boom box
oh my gosh "I said cassette player" team Sidney. 1986
all right i see you so we're tied and it costs
379.99 that's equivalent to 860 today come on flipping this freaking table
why this is the FH50 WX this is how it started and now we have the XG500 i can lift this one
up that's a lot easier this is very portable really nice it's just crazy to think like 1986
2021 Sony has come a long way a very long way here's the thing we have a lot more episodes
coming up so there is room for redemption i just think that i mean at this point you have a
oh you're pretty far behind but it's okay anything is possible and i believe in you
actually i actually do "don't patronize me" we've got one last thing now even though this is our very first
