Which of these products is NOT sold at GigaParts?

Answer: Blenders


Entry page https://www.gigaparts.net/sweepstakes/

In my mind it came down to a choice between Blenders and Aviation Oil.
A search on GigaParts showed no Blenders but to my surprise 20W50 motor oil.

Phillips XC Aviation Oil 20W50 Case https://www.gigaparts.com/phillip...20w50.html

Why a Ham Radio store is selling motor oil, I don't know.
Do they sell antifreeze and windsheild washer fluid too?

What type of photographers would most benefit from the Nikon Z6III camera?

Answer: Hybrid shooters


Entry page https://www.gigaparts.net/sweepstakes/

The Nikon Z6III is a very fast digital camera. Landscape and Studio photographers don't need super high speed..
So for me the choice came down to Street photographers or Hybrid shooters.
I'm not sure what a Hybrid shooter is but the promotional literature makes a big deal about it's rendition of skin tones which are
not that important to a Street photographer so I went with Hybrid shooter.

At $3,096.95, it's not the camera for me.

Today's answer is "street photographers", thanks to Gemini for answering:


**Street photographers** would likely appreciate the Nikon ZF the most.
Here's why:
* **Retro design:** The camera's classic look can help photographers blend in and capture candid moments without drawing attention.
* **Manual controls:** The tactile dials and buttons allow for quick adjustments and intuitive shooting, especially important in fast-paced street photography.
* **Compact size:** The relatively small size and weight make it easy to carry around all day.
* **High-resolution sensor:** The 24.5MP sensor provides excellent image quality for capturing detailed street scenes.
* **Advanced autofocus:** The autofocus system is fast and accurate, helping to capture fleeting moments.
While landscape and wildlife photographers could also benefit from the ZF's image quality and modern features, the camera's design and handling characteristics are particularly well-suited to the needs of street photographers.
