Love the tv but think the remote needs lots of improvement. Lighted buttons, larger buttons would make it easier to use. Will probably have to purchase a better remote soon.Service at deleivery was more than expected. | 1positive

I don't know what the others who gave this a bad rating are talking about. I bought this and it worked right out of the box playing all my foreign dvds without having to enter any code whatsoever. The shipping and delivery are really fast and the price is very good also, considering what your getting. I recommend this to any and everyone who want to play foreign dvds on ntsc tv sets. Terrific Product!!!! | 1positive

I just installed the DX-939 on my truck and decided to get one for my Motor Home. Then I noticed this Flame Thrower Special Edition. Wow! It`s $300 so don`t go breaking out your checkbooks unless you want the best rig on the road. Go to their site or ebay and read the specs. Everyone that I talk to is impressed. It`s the Flame Thrower DX-959 from Flame Thrower. It gets out farther and clearer than any one else. We put one in our Motor Home and man the responses were overwhelming. | 1positive

Struggled with it from the start. I called customer support and all they did was send me links. Sent back hopefully to get credit and plan on buying a Garmin.It did work well for acouple of days, but then struggled with software and other issues. | 0negative

This is my third Microsoft Keyboard 4000 in as many years. Black coffee killed the other two and will probably spell the end of this one at some point. Prior to the 4000s I had an ergonomic keyboard from Microsoft that lasted for years and through countless coffee spills. Microsoft discontinued that model and I couldn't find it anywhere online so I moved reluctantly to the 4000.I switched to ergonomic keyboards after twenty years of working at computers with standard keyboards when I started developing pain in my wrists and forearms. They have done the job in terms of eliminating the pain and providing a comfortable typing experience. I'd recommend ergonomic keyboards in general but the primary reason I am not trying a different model at this point is that I'd rather pay the money and not have to adjust to a different layout. That being said, if you don't drink while working at the computer then this keyboard should serve you well.(update 9/9/11 - a tiny coffee spill and this one bit the dust. Decided to give Logitech a try.) | 0negative

The noise reduction works well. On my back deck it subtractsout all of the lawn mowers, traffic, and most of the flightsoverhead, leaving only the birds and the rustling of the leavesin the wind.I also like how the headphones fold up. They are a practicalsize for slipping in the already overstuffed laptop bag onflights.But these headphones are ugly. Not just ordinary ugly: buttugly. Sennheiser needs to hire an outside design firm for thenext release. | 1positive

This is the biggest piece of garbage, bought two because for some odd reason I actually believed the GOOD reviews on here.Both radios this was hooked up to actually lost signal power with this connected, when i took off this antenna to reconnect the factory antenna,,,i actually had better reception with no antenna than when i had the TERK antenna connected, what a horrible product! | 0negative

I bought these based on the other reviews and they fit my ears well and the sound is pretty good for the money too. I use them at the gym and bought a couple of sets since the price is so low in case I lose them.I would recommend if you're looking for good sound and fit for a low price. | 1positive

I bought this camcorder and have exchanged it three times. The first one I bought before I even had it a full week broke and had an error message I called sony and they informed me I would have to send it in to be fixed! Uh, NO, I think I'll take a new one, thanks! made the mistake of exchanging instead of just returning! the second camera had audio problems which, come to the third to find out that this is just the sound "non"-quality of this camcorder. There is an everpresent frog croking noise in the audio of the recording from the camcorder that I was informed is the gears from the dvd and is supposed to be there, they turned the mic level down in hopes of it not picking the noise up, didn't help. I would buy a different camera or just get a cheap mini dv since they seem to make these things to be replaced every two years! | 0negative

It took me quite sometime to make a decision in upgrading to the T5 from my reliable Palm Vx. I considered the investment in the hardcase a smart move, given the healthy investment I made in purchasing the T5. The rebate on the case is the only reason I gave it 2 stars instead of 1. When inserting the T5 into the case it appears to be a mismatch. It is not a snug fit at all (it rattles in the case). You have to completely remove the handheld from the case to connect to your power and hotsync cable. You can't retrieve the stylus nor retract or insert a SD card without lifting the handheld from the case. I consider the case nothing more than a mobile carrier for the handheld. Simple design considerations could and would have made the case much more compatible with the hardware it is meant to house. I intend to purchase a Wi-Fi card in the near future. I already realize now that the handheld cannot be in the case if you have the Wi-Fi card inserted. Like I said, the rebate is the only positive when purchasing this (Palm must know that too, hence the rebate). | 0negative

I have used it once. It takes photos only if these photos are going to be used for the internet or computer use only. YOU CANNOT PRINT THEM, like you would with a regular camera BECAUSE IT IS NOT. It is what it is, a web camera oh and the video camera you will like. As far as the photos, you can use the company's software on the disk or you can install the photos using the MS Windows photo wizard. Either one would do. | 1positive

I used to have a S300.It worked great and it's really cost effective. That why I bought this one last week. However, this new one gets paper jamed easily, and sometimes it just fails tofeed the paper in but still sends paper jamed message.( I used the the HP 21 pounds papers bought with the printer).I am considering to return it, does anyone has the same experience? How to fix it? | 0negative

In some ways, the DC290 beats some of Kodaks more recent offerings. I read a lot of positive reviews earlier this year on the DC290, but what finally convinced me was this: I live near a Marine Base, and they evaluated a large variety of cameras from many manufacturers and selected the DC290. After several months of use, the Marines I spoke to rave about it! When I finally purchased one from Amazon, I wasn't disappointed. The image quality is very good & is easy to use. The infamous one second shutter delay reported by past reviewers are operating it improperly. Hold the shutter release halfway (yes, Kodak designed it so you can feel it), and wait until the viewfinder light comes on. Depress it the rest of the way when you really want the picture taken. Other cameras operate the same way, usually to charge the flash, and any photographer should spend the second to compose a snapshot before taking it anyway. There is no delay after the viewfinder light comes on.All the positive comments from other reviewers apply. Additionally, this camera uses standard "AA" NiMH cells which are common and inexpensive compared to proprietary battery packs that are expensive and difficult to find. Most people underate the importance of a common battery type until they travel & the battery fails! The only negative comment is that the DC290, as well as most digital cameras sold today, uses expensive flash memeory. I purchased additional Memory (96MB Sandisk from Amazon) because the included 16MB card is inadaquate, especially when taking uncompressed TIFF images- only 2! Mathmatically speaking, a 2.1 megapixal camera like the DC290 is capable of printing 35mm photo quality 4x6 prints at 300dpi, using 6MB of compact flash memory. Spending the extra money for a 3 megapixal camera doesn't make sense for me, as these cameras hog even more memory! I wish this camera was compatible with IBM's microdisk, which recently released a 1GB drive. A much more economical [solution] is Iomega's new external 250MB USB Zip drive, the FotoShow, which downloads images directly from flashmemory card to Zip disk without needing a bulky computer, a real boon for travelers! This drive will work with any camera using compact or smartdisc memory. This is so new, Amazon doesn't sell this yet! One last point: the software included with the DC290 works for WIN98, not WINME. You need to go to Kodak's website to download the latest software which is WINME compatible. I gave this camera a 5 star rating. With FotoShow, I would give it 6 stars, if it were possible! | 1positive

This is a very good camera to have on you to take quick photos with.Good Points:-Quick power up to start taking pictures time-Very small and easy to fit with in any pocket-Fast shutter speed-Very good sound quality on the video's-Long battery life-Great resoultionBad Points:-Not good for dusk/low light shots-Zoom leaves much to be desired-Only a point and shoot camera not for anything more advanced.In the end this is a great camera, as long as you are not trying for manual control or prfessional settings. For point and shoot and a good pocket camera it does not get any better than this. I am extremely fond of it and plan on keeping it for a long time. | 1positive

I had a home network with my dial up internet access and when I switched to Comcast@Home was told to go out and buy a router with a firewall. I bought the D-Link 704 in large part because I was under the impression that it integrated seamlessly with my cable service. Setting up the port and attaching it to the PCs was a snap as was getting the network to work. In about 30 minutes,I was up and running. However, the firewall built into the hardware required constant tweaking to get things like mIRC and other software programs that my son uses to work. The package comes with a quick start guide and manual but they were virtually indecipherable to me, an admitted non-techie. After a few days of trying to tweak the firewall, getting a completely unhelpful response from the tech department of D-Link and emailing with some other users who had the same problems (based on usenet posts), I gave up and put everything back in the box. I ended up buying a simple port and using Live Alarm Pro as my firewall. Works like a charm. I will be selling my D-Link 704 on Amazon in a few moments if anyone wants a used one that is virtually brand new! | 0negative

I feel bad for the people who paid 200 bucks for this, Why? because I paid 300+ when I got it a couple of years ago. It was supposedly to be the do-all be-all DVD/VHS combo, and after having The Magnavox which was a whole other level of failure, I figured it was time to step up.Where do I start?This thing has severe issues resetting the time to the point I just let it blink rather than reset it to have it go bad 2hrs later.If you turn it on you can go to Carl Jr's and get a value meal, come back and it should be ready.The HDMI is nice, meh.1080 up-convert, (at least on mine) was debatable at best.The DVD player is incredible clunky,As for the VHS-DVD transfer, it works which is light-years better than the Magnavox, but it is a process that rivals making penicillin.Anywho, I would not recommend it but if you have the patience, you know, go for it. | 0negative

Pros -1) This is a wireless player, so no need to connect your mp3 player to it2) Works well with SONY MP3 Players and charges it too!! SONY SOUNDS BETTER THAN IPOD ANYTIME!!. Although you can connect mp3 player to this player with the cable provided with it.3) Sound Quality, Sound Quality, Sound Quality Better than bose!!4) The picture is incorrect, it actually comes with a subwoofer.5) if you read through the manual, the setup is not complicated at all!Cons -Cant think of any, if i do get one, i will update | 1positive

I bought this system for a "great price" and it was great while it worked...then about a year afterwards it would lock up and not function.. Then finally it stopped working all together. I did an online search and found that this is very common with this system. Do the research and you will find the same. Save your money and buy another system after you do the research! | 0negative

This camera works great, its memory stick duo performs way better than hard drives, flash, tapes or anything in the market. Very easy to download to a computer and work with the image files. Still pictures are of good quality too! You do not need to carry a camcorder and a digital camera, this device is both! My only complain is that, as it does not have a viewfinder, it should be smaller, though its size is convenient to put in a coat's jacket. | 1positive

I gave these headphones a 2 because they were very cheap. I do like the sound quality very much, but when it comes to fitting in the ears, it's a pain. I don't like the fact that I have to cram them in my ears to get them to stay in, even after changing to the smallest bud size. The case is neat and they don't tangle much, but if you want to do anything active while wearing them, forget it. I couldn't get these to stay in my ears at all when I ran. Unless you plan on sitting or standing in a stationary spot while you use them, don't get them. | 0negative

I was so bummed, I had an AWESOME leather case made by Boxwave for my first iPad, so when this one came I was so excited. Two things about the case annoyed me and I returned it. One, the cover did not stay shut. For instance if I were to close the flap, nothing would hold it secure. If I were to drop the iPad in the case the flap would most likely fly open leaving the screen of the iPad exposed in the fall. Second, the iPad didn't line up square when in the case. With, my original case from Boxwave with my first ipad, the iPad snapped into the case, holding it in a fixed position. With this case the iPad slid around in the case, making the home but not align with the destination where it made it visible in the case, sometimes making it partially hidden behind the rim of the case, hard to explain. It just frustrated me that it wouldn't sit in a fixed position and I was constantly straigting it in the Case.I ended up returning it and bought a bit more expensive boxwave leather case that the ipad actually snaps into place with, and that the flapis sealed shut with. | 0negative

I was excited to get the Presto 6-qt stainless steel pressure cooker, especially given all the high ratings on Amazon. To our disappointment, I had to throw out the beans we cooked the first three times I cooked with this pressure cooker! :O The cooker worked great but the rubber gasket leached a horrible rubber taste into the food (and YES, I had washed the gasket before using it each time). I called Presto Customer Service & they are sending out a new gasket. I am hopeful the new one will be better quality and not leach a bad taste. I will give this product 5 stars if the problem is resolved. | 0negative

equals paper jams all the time! the silly stand-up type paper feeder in the back doesn't work nearly as well as the tray-type feeders. first, it only holds a few sheets at a time, needing constant re-feeding if you print say, a manuscript. second, the thing seems to constantly be cycling through some sort of mechanical whirring every time it wants to feed the next sheet... kinda like it's looking for the paper that's back there. third, the only way to be certain the paper won't jam is to load it one sheet a a freakin time. fourth, being a rear-fed paperpath, i need to keep access to the rear of the machine, not just put it on the stand and not worry about the back end. it seems like i'm constantly moving my printer stand in and out of it's slot so i can put more paper in because you can't do it by feel alone, you have to see to line it up.all in all, the paper feed method on this printer is a pain in the behind.yes, the print quality is good. yes, it prints fast. yes it has nice features.BUT and a big BUT...i wish i'd never bought it because if i have to mess with the paper feed every single darn time i use the thing, it's not worth the trouble. | 0negative

I was actually forced to purchase this SCSI card because I had purchased a XFX 790i Motherboard. I run SCSI Hard Drives, NOT SATA Hard Drives and my other SCSI Controller Card HAD to take up the center Graphic Card Slot so I was unable to run 3 way SLI, (3 Graphic Cards). I first used the cd Driver disk to make 32bit and 64bit drivers on floppies as required. I already had 3 seperate HOT SWAPPABLE SCSI hard drives with 3 different installed operating systems, XP-32, XP-64 and Vista-32. I removed my old SCSI card and installed the new SCSI 29320LPE PCIEx1 kit in the appropriate FIRST slot and restarted the computer to load the new driver. I loaded the floopy, per instructions and was actually able to get to the first graphic OS screen and then the blue screen of death arrived, rebooting the computer. No matter which floppy driver I used, the computer crashed. The floppy driver would NOT load! What was I doing wrong? After two hours of further frustraition, I went to bed. In the morning I decided to reinstall my old SCSI card and my computer started immediatly and showed both SCSI cards installed. The new SCSI card was found, but no driver was installed. It was just the card and no cable or hard drive was on it. I thought that since I already had a Windows OS installed, why not try to bypass the new floppy driver and try to install the new driver from the CD? Eureka, driver from the CD loaded and worked like a charm. I then loaded the CD driver to the other 2 Windows OS's and was rewarded with easy installation of the new driver. I then shut down the computer and removed my old SCSI card. I re-attached the SCSI cable to the new SCSI card and turned on the computer. EUREKA AGAIN, as the new SCSI card worked like it was supposed to. My old SCSI card that cost over $ 900.00, 2 channels and 40 SCSI drives when new 8 years ago, was replaced by a $ 250 single channel card that works perfectly. This new card also free's up a SLI graphic's card slot, so I now can run 3 way SLI. I LOVE THIS CARD ! | 1positive

This thing is garbage. I originally had a client buy it, but we couldn't get Quick VPN to work right back then. I got the unit in the end, and it worked for a year or so.Then all of a sudden the diag light started flashing and the unit stopped working. I reset it and updated the firmware. That completely toasted it, and i had to reload the firmware with TFTP.Then there were the notorious MTU problems. Ident is still not filterable in the new firmware, among other shortcomings. You have to forward the port to nowhere manually.Finally, got it to work again for a couple of hours with the new firmware before the diag light started flashing again, and this pathetic router failed again. Now, it's going in the trash.I read that these have a CMOS battery inside them, which can cause problems and is not user-replaceable. If that's true, it's funny how none of the other old, cheap routers i have used ever had any trouble with that. Right now, my old, cheap D-Link router had to take the place of this overpriced trash.Marketing this model as a small-business router is nothing more than a joke... | 0negative

The software supplied with the X3000 is very, very poor - practically unusable. I have my music and photos stored on an external drive and there is nothing that I can do to get the X3000 to recognise it through a shared windows media player connection. It looks like the X3000 will always look for media on the default windows directories only (c:\documents\user\my music etc). I've tried on an XP box and Vista premium with the same results. Even setting the location of "My documents\music" in windows to the network drives is ignored by the X3000. Windows media player works perfectly but the X3000 doesn't care. Even if it mamaged to find the media the interface is much closer to windows explorer than windows media center or windows media player; looks like it was written in 10 minutes as an after thought. It's possible to browse through a Neolink server connection to the media, but the software keeps locking up and is just too cumbersome and ugly too use anyway. Terrible. Can't believe it was released in this state, or that there isn't a new version that fixes the problems. You'd be much better off spending your money on a PC with windows vista. | 0negative

I bought this player for my daughter a while ago, and I never regretted about choosing the Philips. Before I decided which player to buy, I went to a the local electronics superstore and tried out everything what they had on display. It didn't take me long to realize that with portable CD players you basically get what you paid for: while there is a number of cheaper players, they sound so much worse that it would be a mistake to trade the quality for just a few dollars of the price difference. I have chosen three best players from about 20 which I tried, and then finally decided on this one since in that particular store it had the best price of the three. It has very good sound, suitable not only for pop music, but also for classical pieces, nice set of features, and a very long battery life. | 1positive

After ~2 years of use, the connection on these headphones failed (and I didn't physically damage them in any way, just plugged them in and out, like one does with headphones...). It began by sporadically losing one channel, then that channel dropped out entirely, and now no sound comes through...for $80 one would expect better production values, no matter how they sound. | 0negative

If you do lots of portraits you need the BG2. Yes you get the added bonus of extra battery capacity and storage for the remote control F and an extra SD card too! The ON/Off/Preview switch only works when the main camera switch is on. The shutter release and other controls fit comfortably, the extra weight and size is also a plus for either larger hands or larger lenses. I'm not sure if it's worth the list price, but definitely worth the price here on Amazon. | 1positive

This is by far the worst product I have ever bought. It came with no guide on how to use it and there is no phone number to call when you are having a problem. You have to email the company and then pray that they send you your activation code, and if they don't (which is what happened to me) oh well, out of luck. And come to find out you cant even use it to convert regular dvd's and it isnt even compatible with my Zune player.save your money and get something else!!! | 0negative

Worst product I ever bought, also the most dangerous. I have three small children and this is not something you want sitting on your countertop without a lid. Brought it home and used it to deep fry mozzarella sticks and my whole house smelled like a greasy restaurant kitchen for 2 days. The body gets VERY hot, due to no insulation, takes forever to cool down, and it comes with a puny little slotted spoon to get your food out, where the food falls off as you're lifting it and plops back into the fryer and splashes oil all over. The worst $15.00 (Walmart) I ever spent. Brought it back the next day | 0negative

I have used one of these mounts for over a year now. This is my second for my second car and second Garmin. THis is a superior mount to the suction mount in my opinion. It is much easier to use and stays where you place it. I have traveled cross country with this and had absolutely no problems with it. It sits properly on my dash; it is easy to mount the Garmin on it and it is easier to read and hear from the distance that it is from me as opposed to the suction mount. I found the suction mount hard to use. It was a very long reach to mount it to my windshield and since I was traveling to California it was also illegal. The bean bag mount hasn't disappointed me yet. It has yet to move from the place that I have set it. I have not had a near accident with it in place so I don't know how it stays in place during emergency maneuvers, but so far I would say it is going to work as well as any other mounting device. I highly recommend this mount. | 1positive

Although this microscope can be hard to use at first, once you get it going it's just phenomenal! The difficultly often comes from trying to adjust the scope with one hand while keeping the object to be observed close with the other, or what have you. It's not really a fault of design more than just the reality of trying to use a hand held microscope!The LED is fantastic and very essential to this device's proper functioning.Past any initial frustration you may have with getting used to using this device you will love it! | 1positive

I got this as a way to transfer files from my old dead laptop's hard drive to my new laptop.It didn't work at all.I nevertheless held off on writing this review until I got another adapter that worked (I wouldn't want to blame the adapter if the hard drive was bad). This one would spin up the drive and be recognized as a USB device by windows but would not appear as a drive in explorer or in the device manager. The product that I eventually got was a cable instead of an enclosure but since it worked I was happy. [...] | 0negative

This is a product I'd have returned if I thought I could do any better for the price, but it looks like I probably wouldn't and it's better than the broken, old clock radio it's replacing. Cosmetically it's not very attractive; the black-and-white look is clunky without being retro or even ironic. Controls for brightness and volume are in the far back of the chassis, making these adjustments inconvenient when I'm in bed struggling to set things up properly. The radio is a weak, crude analog setup that does not pick up most of the (large, powerful) stations I listen to. But the variable snooze is a nice feature, the numbers are easy to read, and I like having two alarms. No battery backup; an input for mp3 players is strangely placed in the front of the chassis (where volume control by rights ought to be). Far from a perfect product but perfection is rarely purchased for this price. | 0negative

We've used it about 4 times now. It takes nice, clear video and the audio is great as well.The only "problem" we've had is that sometimes, after using it for about 20 minutes or more, it doesn't want to turn back on.We've figured out that if we let it "rest" for about 10 minutes or so, it will come back on and work fine. It doesn't shut itself off unless you stop using it, it just doesn't want to turn back on sometimes.I really like it though and have figured out how to work around that one thing. It could be just a quirk with the one I bought. I don't know if it is common to the product. | 1positive

I have had 2 of these enclosures for about 2 months. Both enclose 1.5TB caviar green drives, used for mirror RAID. After being idle for a while (e.g., overnight), sometimes one will not spin up, which will break my raid and hang the system. This has happened four times already, each time causing my raid to be rebuilding for 2 days. -- See also a negative review about power supplies in this thread. If you just want an occasional external drive, this enclosure might be great, but it is not reliable enough for ongoing use. Other review: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2RH8HQEWT5LIV/ | 0negative

I originally set up my Tivo and TV in the den, because that is where I have space for a TV cart deep enough for the Tivo box, and that is where my TV cable outlet is.I want to be able to watch TV in the living room, but the only spot for a TV is an interior wall that would be hard to wire for a cable outlet, on top of a shallow, wall-hugging book case with no room for a big Tivo box. The GS3200 solved my problem.Hooking the GS3200 up was simple. But at first I could not get my remote control to work in the living room. I did not have the Nyrius IR extender pointed correctly at the Tivo IR receiver in the den. I could not figure out where the Tivo IR receiver point was until a smart guy on the Internet said to get a paper towel or toilet paper tube and aim the Tivo remote through the tube at the Tivo box front panel until I found the spot where the remote works. Bingo! I was then able to aim the IR extender right at the IR receiver spot on the Tivo in the den, and the Tivo remote started working in the living room.I love having the TV in the living room WITHOUT all the bulky electronics.Now I can even take a small TV onto the outdoor porch and watch using the GS3200. How cool is that?The packaging is very nice - no Styrofoam, all cardboard, very simple and compact. The instructions could be better, particularly regarding the IR extender. | 1positive

I purchased the visioneer 4400 scanner through a major electronics store and the sale price was a little more than the amazon regular price. So far I haven't had any complaints about the scanner. It's pretty simple to use and has a few extra features that I liked, and for being my first scanner, I think I got a good deal! | 1positive

This software is garbage, at least for the latest version of Lion. Several times now, in the midst of a project, I have lost half a page or so of work because this software keeps crashing. What a piece of junk. If you don't save after every letter, you will probably loose a lot of what you do. I can't think of a single writer who appreciates having to re-write because their software is unreliable. Mariner, you have lost my business. | 0negative

First off, this wide angle converter is NOT made specifically for your digital camera. The only match is the thread size. I bought this for my Olympus 8080 (not sure why it came up with this other designation) and it causes vignettting (cutting off of the corners at it widest angle) and more importantly, produced horrible distortion reminiscent of a fun house mirror.I would only buy this lens if you specifically wanted to take spherically distorted pictures, not if you really want a wide angle. Instead go with the manufacturer's wide angle which is designed specifically for the camera. | 0negative

This is easily the worst mouse I've ever had. The tracking is very lazy. My old Logitech mechanical mouse tracks better.The worst problem is the scroll wheel. The wheel has a delayed action. It waits till you are typing then whiz! The page scrolls away. I'm not even touching the stupid mouse when it starts scrolling.I noticed people complaining about the sticky scroll wheel. I vivisected this POS to see why. It is simply a bad design. there is no space between the wheel and the housing inside the mouse. Dust and dirt collects off the wheel quickly gums up the works. You could clean it, but it's not worth the effort. | 0negative

So far I've only tried it on slides.In PRO MODE it works WONDERS. 3 at a time, takes about a minute per slide at about 1800+2000 pixels, 300dpi. each pic JPG is about 200K in size. And you can freely change the size to smaller or larger, or change the area to be scanned to just a cropped portion of any or all 3 slides. GREAT bundled software, and a fabulous product for under $100. Can't wait to try negatives and hard copy stuff. Very easy to connect also, just plug to USB port and AC outlet. It's also very sleek and stylish, in case beauty matters to you (as it should, many guys need to learn this when selecting wives). | 1positive

I bought the Nikon D40x when my arm was twisted to lend my D70s to my daughter who is in art school and was taking some photography classes. I use it almost daily to take picture of my cats (I breed Siberian cats) and of my merchandise for my online store. The D40x is smaller and lighter and I found I really prefer this camera - its fits my hand better and is easier to take with me. The quality of pictures seems very similar and the features that are less than the D70s are not ones that bothered me - it is more limited in flash and some compatibility with accessories but I was so not bothered I have forgotten what they were. It is the camera I grab when I have a choice.... the D70s is back home but not used quite as much.... | 1positive

I bought Ghost to upgrade a hard drive. Played with it for weeks. While I am no Bill Gates, I can do many things with a computer. Ghost never explained how to ghost a hard drive.This program was simple, easy to understand and came with a hard drive case that I now use the old hard drive as a backup. Wish I had bought this one first. | 1positive

I bought two, as they were on sale. I gave one to a friend. Both units are horrible. I have sent it in for service twice. It has a hard time gaining signal. It loses signal while driving. It does not always give the proper route. It notes exits on expressways where there are none. It freezes up. I have read other reviews. If you want it for a movie viewer, have fun. If you need it for travelling - do not purchase this unit. It probably deserves a recall. Many of the other reviewers had the same problems as me. In addition, JVC service doesn't care if they keep it for a year. All in all - Stay far away! | 0negative

The machine never worked. It randomly plays the outgoing message for no apparent reason, even when there's no incoming phone call. After wading through a very long menu of options at the tech support number I got to a person and was told I'd have to return it at my expense, even though it's in warranty.If you look at other sites with reviews on this machine you'll see that my experience that the unit didn't function correctly isn't unique.Save your money! | 0negative

This is a great buy for the price!! It's been running continuously for 150 days without a problem. It's not silent by no means, but compared to cheaper p/s, it's very quiet.If your into computers, for the price and quality, this is a great backup unit to have on hand. | 1positive

I've been a long time fan of Palm products and my T3 would have been my third machine. Started with a CIII which was rock solid. I finally had to retire it after thatback plate cracked and I couldn't charge/synch it any more. Moved up to the Zire71 which was wonderful. I'm still bummed about it getting stolen.I figured that I'd go ahead and splurge and get myself a really nice one as I had a really nice quarterly bonus come in and needed a pick me up.Ordered online from PalmOne and after waiting more than two weeks for it to show up I charged it up and played withit a bit and was very pleased with what I saw.INstalled the new software on my machine and checked my synch preferences to make sure that I was loading up my contact/note info from the machine to the T3 and hit synch.. and the PDA locked. not even a hard re-set was able to 'unstick it'. I was a bit concerned but let it drain completely (which took only an hour and a half) re-charged it overnight and tried it again the next day. Same issue.After calling the non-800 number for Tungsten support (and getting cut off by the voice maze twice) I finally managed to get to talk to a *very* rude young man who laboriously went through his 'script' even after my explaining what had happened.He seemed to relish annoying me and became more and more amused as he went on until I'd finally had enough. Hung up. sent in an email requesting a return ticket for the device.Shame on Palm.They've managed to turn a decent company that supplied a great product into a nightmare that has driven a supporter to PPC's.I've read plenty of good reviews on the device itself (if you get one that works or doesn't come 'unscrewed') but the level of support I received after getting a lemon device has made it impossible for me to recommend them at all.Buyer beware!If you *must* have one?Buy local (and not from PalmStore) so that you can take it back and get an exchange or your money back without having to deal with the morons that do 'Support'. | 0negative

I use these for motorcycling. They are small enough to squeeze into a helmet without pulling loose. Seal for a passive NRR of 23-26 (comparing to earplugs) and deliver a crips sound for their price point.A great purchase | 1positive

Expected the product to display detail of standard USGS 1/24,000 maps. Product did not meet expectations. Needless to say I was disappointed in the lack of detail. I was hoping to use the product with my Garmin GPS 72 to download way points. National Geographic Topo Colorado did not list my GPS in the GPS setup. | 0negative

I purchased the D-Res 10AW bag for my then-new Olympus D460 Zoom. Cordova, AK experiences more than 160 inches of rain annually so "all-weather" is important. This series has a hidden nylon rain poncho that can be pulled out from the belt slide side of the bag, around the bottom and up over the top for nearly complete rain coverage. It's well padded with room for additional memory cards and a spare set of 4 AA batteries (NiMH, of course). I pack this camera nearly everywhere, and the case strap and belt slide have yet to let me down. If you have any doubts, know that this is the company that was started by a mountaineer, designing and building climbing packs. | 1positive

Zero Stars!! I bought this TV for my sons college dorm room. Out of the box the picture was OK but the sound quality was horrible, like the old TVs in the 1950's only worse. I bought external speakers and they worked fine, right up to the time when the whole TV failed on day 3 of ownership. Westinghose sent me to a local repair shop, who charged me $100 to diagnose the problem, and another $100 to swap out some parts. (Whatever happened to the concept of a warranty?) Three days later the set failed AGAIN. I marched it down to a dumpster and tossed it in. Now it is where it belongs, in a landfill somewhere. I will NEVER buy another Westinghouse product, trust me on this. | 0negative

I bought these to go into my garage for music when fiddle fiddling on my hobbies and doing work out there. Very pleased with the sound quality, my house is wired for sound and I have a living room stereo with Polk audio bookshelf speakers in the $375 price range, these guys are just as good and I was shocked by that, even a little deeper bass. Never a big fan of Japaneese speakers (cheap and not good sound) however I am glad I made an exception in this case. Infinity,Polk, Bose outdoors, and Boston Acoustics have been my mainstay-even Klispch, but these are very good irrespective.If you are looking for great sound at a good price-these are your ticket. They are bigger than a bookshelf speaker-yes, they fit on top of my workbench shelf however they may easily go on the floor and work that way-if you have limited space make sure you pay attention to the dimensions on the spec sheet. Very happy with this product.G Rock | 1positive

Like others I have now got the error message H07, which apparently means I am taking my new DVD to the tip in the morning. I received it as a Christmas present, so that makes it 10 months old. The guarentee is useful now only as toilet paper (not terribly absorbant though). Needless to say I shall not be buying Panasonic again. I am thoroughly disappointed and feel quite helpless. I know when they offer to sell you extended warrentee at the cash desk that it is a con, that my purchase really shouldn't need it, or in the light of this ... perhaps we do. My mother always said 'I can't afford to buy cheap' now I know what she means | 0negative

This is my first wall mount for my 42" plasma TV. It mounts close to the wall, tilts and was easy to install. Construction was excellent, and included parts to fit different panel "back side" options. Hanging the TV took two of us, but was expected. This is a great product and great value. | 1positive

Overall, this is a decent camera, but its problems focusing are an issue and so I would NOT recommend buying this camera. Before I start, let me state that I have read the directions and gone through all the settings in the camera. I've done my best to rule out the human error.The picture quality and colors look good, when they are in focus. However, any time that the light, inside or outside, is a bit tricky the camera cannot focus. As an example, I took 5 pictures of a lit christmas tree and all came out blurry. I took another 5 pictures using a Canon Powershot S500 and all of them were perfectly clear. I'll admit that this is a tricky item to focus on, but the Sony DCS-P73 has trouble focusing whenever there is glare. It has ruined a number of shots... easy shots.So, if you are buying a camera for point and shoot... this one isn't it. This camera is a - (cross your fingers for a clear picture) - and shoot camera.I hope this helps. | 0negative

The best feature of this printer is the ability to produce excellent scans of photos. I am very impressed with the quality of the photos, however, document scanning is less than satisfactory. Also the quality of ink in this printer is less than satisfactory, my black ink appears as brown. The printer cover is very lose. The cover will come off in your hands when you open it. | 0negative

I purchased this product based on the reviews I read here. Setup was a breeze. The included Cakewalk Pyro software is so easy to use, I was recording in less than 5 minutes from opening the box. Happiness is listening to my vinyl collection in my car! For those that dissed the software, I found all the information I needed was provided in the help and tips in the software itself. I purchased on the 3rd and it arrived on the 8th. Other than the confirmation from Amazon there was no email trail as I am used to from other vendors but the system arrived on time as promised. | 1positive

The Panasonic RF-2400 has always intrigued me. As you can tell by my user name, I love radios. All types! I've owned Sonys, Grundigs, Bose, Sangeans, you name it, I've owned it at one time or another. A few weeks ago I ordered this wonderful radio. From the minute I turned it on, I was very impressed.First, the sound.... Unbelievable. If you've ever owned a GE Superradio and heard the sound from it, you will know exactly what I'm talking about. A clear, crisp sound emits from the 3.5" speaker. Control knobs are simple. Tuning is acurate. What more could you ask for in a radio. It would make a perfect gift for anyone. Especially if they listen to much radio at all.Another great product from Panasonic! | 1positive

They came at a price that I couldn't refuse and I got less than my money's worth. The ink bleeds into the paper, and smears as the paper comes out of the printer. My kids couldn't use the printer for homework assignments until I replaced the Amazon cartridge. I ordered 2, so I threw one out unopened. I had to spend the money (again) and buy Epson cartridges. I'll stick with Epson from now on. | 0negative

I bought this bag to accompany my new Macbook. It fits like a glove (it is designed to carry laptops of size 15.4' and smalelr) but the really cool thing about the bag is that it fits so much else besides. I'm a student in college and there's plenty of space for any textbooks and notebooks I need, plus plenty of convenient side-pockets for everything from pens and rulers to mp3 players, flash drives and snacks. It is incredibly sturdy, waterproof (as I discovered for myself in a pouring rain storm) and is very comfortable on my shoulder and hip. This is not just a laptop carrier. It is the ultimate all-purpose shoulder bag for any citizen of the Knowledge Age. | 1positive

This case fits my Pentax Opito WP. camera perfect. It has a magnet to hold the top flap down which is great ,easy to open & close, no snaps or velcro to mess with. Also has a cut out on the bottom of the case to place your finger into it & push up to easly get the camera out. I was going to buy a off brand case which was cheaper but I'm glad I bought this one. | 1positive

I was just given a pair of these for my birthday, and I have to say they are going right back.With Noise canceling turned off everything sounds muted and not even close to the quality that my $20 Sony's do.With Noise Canceling turned on, suddenly everything is bright and crisp and almost, but not exactly hiding the static.Now, if I want static, these are great, if I want to always run the noise canceling, they are outstanding. But, otherwise, I would never recommend them. | 0negative

I really love these headphones as they are extremely comfortable. The only downside is that they are a little bass heavy. For the price they were a great deal. If money isn't an issue, you may be better off with the Bose In Ear headphones. | 1positive

My only complaint with this is that the CD player worked sporatically since I got it. At 9 months it stopped completely and won't spin. Since this is the ONLY reason I bought it, it was a waste of money. Now it is too late to return without paying shipping etc. | 0negative
