Question: Do you have a big problem?

I kept this unit for about a week before deciding to return it. It is not terrible at all, but a couple items were real dealbreakers for me:1) Low volume level on DVD and Blu-Ray playbackThis must be something specific to LG. I have an LG DVR (LRM-519) that is a few years old and it has the exact same problem. When I play Blu-Ray discs or regular DVDs, I have to turn the volume on my TV or Sony AV Receiver way, way up just to hear the movie at a normal level. I was watching Baby Mama and had to crank my Receiver up to the max volume just to hear it. It is connected with an optical cable, but I have the same issue with the volume through the TV which is connected using HDMI. I previously had my Xbox 360 connected to my AV Receiver and DVDs sounded amazing. I didn't have to turn up the receiver past 45 to get it really booming. With the LG BD 370, I had to crank it at 70 (max).2) The player uses the same remote IR commands as my LG DVRVery few other people will probably run into this problem, but the BD 370 happens to use the same remote control commands as my existing LG DVR. So, for example, when I turn on the BD 370, the DVR also turns on. When I press the Open/Close button on the remote, the DVD tray on both my DVR and Blu-Ray player open. When I press Menu on the remote, it brings up the menu on my DVR and my blu-ray player. This was just an annoyance at first until I realized that watching netflix or a bluray disc on the BD 370 could actually cause me to stop something from recording on my DVR due to the random command being sent to the DVR as I control the blu-ray player.3) Netflix only shows Instant QueueI admit, this is a very minor gripe, but I really got spoiled by the Netflix experience on my Xbox 360. On the xbox 360, the netflix menu shows not only the movies you have added to your instant queue, but also lets you browse a selection of shows/movies in other categories. I have found that I use that feature a lot. So I was pretty disappointed to see that it isn't replicated on the BD 370. However, the quality of the streaming on the BD 370 was every bit as good as on the Xbox 360. Also, I had zero problems connecting to netflix when I hooked up the player. I just connected the player to my router with an ethernet cable and it had no problem getting on netflix.Pro - The ability to watch Youtube on the BD 370 was cool, especially because it allowed me to log into my Youtube account and access my favorites. However, that was not enough to make me want to keep the player.All in all, if you don't mind the low volume level and you don't have any other LG DVD players or DVRs connected to the same TV as the BD 370, it is a pretty decent unit.

Question: How do you like the auto focus?

My first every Ebay score, the Canon EF-S 17-85mm lens (featuring image stabilization) was a much coveted item around here.  It had come highly recommended and seemed to be a great complement to my beloved 50mm prime and a perfect replacement for the 18-55mm kit lens that shipped with the XTi.Initial, first-night impressions?  Heavenly.Compared to the other lenses that I've put on the business end of the XTi, the 17-85mm is one heavy dude.  I'd wager that it's at least as heavy as the camera and certainly feels as heavy as the 50mm and the 18-55mm put together.  The lens is serious.  It means business.  It traveled back in time from the future to be here with us today.  It's a touch of the photographic high-tech, made accessible to the amateur.With my right hand on the shutter and my left on the lens' barrel, it didn't feel any less heavy but "heavy", in my mind, became "solid".  The auto-focus is nice and quiet and is reasonably fast to lock onto the subject.  The focusing ring is also nice and big -- it cries out to be grasped and twisted.  It was a joy to realize that even with the auto-focus turned on, the lens would not complain if I fine-tuned a given shot with some manual adjustments.  (The AF doesn't totally commandeer the focus, that is to say.)  The zoom is also smooth, the barrel moving quickly and easily without over-shooting the desired focal length.Image stabilization is also a big plus.  I have a feeling that once I get the hang of it, it will save quite a few low-light, indoor, and hand-held shots over the lifetime of this lens.  This isn't to be nave and believe it to be a cure-all.  Certainly a few of my early test shots with the IS feature on prove that you can still wind up with a whole mess of blur.  But others worked out pretty well.After having used it for about two weeks or so now, most of these initial impressions have stayed true.  The IS feature is a good one but isn't something upon which to rely to save every shot.  You still need to have good light and the right angle, etc.; but with the right ISO setting, it can save the scene.  The heavy feeling of the lens is something I've gotten used to pretty quickly; after a couple of sessions, you just expect the camera to weight that much -- no worries.  I've also found that the longer focal lengths are great for portraiture -- I find myself using focal lengths in the 70-85mm range pretty often now and I wonder how I ever lived without them before.That said, I'm beginning to wonder a little about the lens' chromatic aberration.  I've had a few shots that don't seem to "resolve" the same way during post-processing (in Aperture) as similar shots under similar conditions with the same camera body and a different lens (e.g., the 50mm prime).  This is not to say that I have my mind made up and am squaring the blame on the lens -- certainly not!  But I am trying to parse my way through some of these, experimenting with some different conditions, etc. to see where it lands.  I've just fallen into a certain rhythm with my post-processing and I would hate to have to learn a new dance just for the one, new lens.All things considered however, I've been very pleased with most of my results from the 17-85mm thus far....so yeah, worth it.But with respect to "worth it":  Canon lists a retail price of $600 for the EF-S 17-85mm IS lens.  Most places online seem to offer it in the $475-$550 range.  As far as lenses go, this is hardly a costly one.  Considering that this is one of the two lenses "given away" as the kit lens for Canon's 40D body, you wonder a little bit if the mass-production maybe watered it down just a little bit...?  Just the same, this is a great "walk-around" lens:  it is sturdy, has some great built-in features, and has a versatile range of focal lengths.  If you got this lens "free" with your camera body then you are in luck.  If you're looking to pick up one separately...  Well, it's a great lens to have.  And I'm happy with mine.  But see if you can't score one on Ebay or through your local re-seller of high-quality, previously enjoyed lenses.Happy shooting, y'all.

Question: Is the cable expensive?

Question: How is the keyboard?

I've been using the product to type up my notes during class, and it is perfect!For my first few years, I had been carrying my macbook pro around for class.This was fine when I literally lived in the school. For the last two years, I had to move into an apartment with a 15 minute walk to the school building.Carrying a 15 inch laptop, though much smaller than the competition, was still quite heavy with all my books. I turned to the ipad to be both my computer and etextbook reader. The only problem I had was with using my ipad to type in class. The keyboard was not good for fast typing.However, with the IMP38B, I have the best of both worlds in a small package!The keys are a comfortable familiar size, needing no getting used to time.The case and keyboard also have a matte finish. While minute, it is perfect for oily finger days.The only thing I don't like, is if I touch the swivel mount, or bump the ipad/keyboard to hard, the swivel mount does move a bit, requiring some readjusting.For the price, this keybaord is PERFECT and WELL worth the money!

Question: How do you like the item?

Item received right on time, and delivery was Quick. Came with spare earbuds, which is always a plus. Odd shaped earpieces, but they fit suprisingly well, and sound better than the price would suggest. And I Love the "L" shaped haedphone jack, which seems more durable than the traditional straight-ilne jack. Worth the money, Thanks.

Answer: Worth the money

Question: Is the sound quality of the adapter proportional to the price?

Keeping in mind "you get what you pay for," I give this 4 out of 5 stars.  The sound quality for a mono device isn't bad, but let's not compare this to high-end equipment. You can also daisy chain a second one (and possibly keep going?) for stereo -- however I just needed some sound from my VM platform, so this does just fine.  The buttons are difficult to press -- I have to actually pick it up every time or I'll push it off the desk when I attempt to control the volume.  I like that you can charge it (via USB) while it's in use.  I'm not aware of how long the charge will last since this speaker will go nowhere.  Directions could have been composed better, but this is a simple device to setup and use.

Question: How is the quality of the bass?

First pair I bought got stolen outta my car, somebody smashed my window and took my bag that held it :(Anyway, first pair sounded great.I bought another pair, there was an extremely disappointing crackle in one of the headphones from a low frequency.  This made me extremely annoyed/angry/disappointed.  I cannot stand bad crap, and I hate to give bad product reviews. But I had to send it back and now I will look for a different company brand, probably for the rest of my life.

Question: How fast did you set the tablet?

The tablet is very good as far as internet speed and opening apps goes...a hundred times better than the Coby tablet I had. The only thing that I am concerned about is that it hangs up on a couple of my favorite apps. One is doodle jump. It played it the first time I installed it then the next time it just quits functioning after a bit. The other is Fruit Ninja...it doesn't open all the time and I have to uninstall and reinstall to get it to work again. It's a really good tablet though.

The other is Fruit Ninja...it doesn't open all the time and I have to uninstall and reinstall to get it to work again. It's a really good tablet though.


Question: Where is the weight of this place?

Most people writing reviews for this mouse have already raved about it- let me add my voice to the crowd.  I use a laptop for work every day, and always like to have a mouse as I don't like the eraser-head or the touch-pad nearly as much as an external mouse.  However, carrying a mouse around can be annoying.The Nano makes it less so- this mouse is ergonomically designed for true comfort.  My hands are fairly small, but I have no trouble reaching the very conveniently-placed buttons to navigate forward or backward, up or down.My favorite feature is the one-click button that you can press which will take you straight to your favorite Internet search engine!  This is a great feature when you have a lot of documents open already and don't want to minimize and go back to the desktop for your internet link!The mouse comes with a convenient carrying case, two AAA batteries, an optional desktop adapter and a CD for installation.  It is easy to install and takes absolutely no effort or reading of the instruction manual to work.  I am not at the forefront of the technological revolution by any means, but I enjoy comfort, simplicity and convenience in electronic accessories.  This mouse meets those requirements and for that, I would highly recommend it to anyone who prefers using a mouse to an eraser-head or touch-pad.

Question: What do you think about grip?

I use this with my Nikon D7000 and an off label battery.  This grip fits perfect, feels good in your hands, is exactly compatible with my camera, and looks just like the Nikon grip.  The wheel that you use to tighten works fine, but you can jiggle it back and forth.  This does not affect how it fits at all.  It doesn't mean that the grip is coming loose, its just how it is. It comes with an optional insert for AA batteries if you don't happen to have a second lithium battery charged.  I also like how it has the shutter button, AE-L/FE-L button, and front and rear dials as well as directional buttons to control the menus while the camera is vertical.I honestly did not know if it would be a fully compatible grip for that price but I was pleasantly surprised.  I definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a quality yet inexpensive grip.  It really gives your camera a professional look.

Question: Where do I have a drawer full of headphones?

I use this remote with our Vizio TV, Sony AVR, and Sony BD.  The remote has great functionality, lots of buttons, and is capable of learning from other remotes.  With this one remote we control everything we have.On a side note, it works much better than the Vizio remote that came with the TV.  We never have to fiddle around pointing it just right like you have to do with the Vizio remote.  This one just works all the time.

Question: How is the shape?

I have had it.  This mouse is terrible.  I've got a cheap bundled no-name mouse on my laptop, and I'm stealing it and throwing this one away.  Even that mouse is better than this one.The biggest problem with this mouse is the tendency to double click when a button has been clicked once.  It started two months after I got the mouse.  At first it was now and then, making me think I'd clicked twice.  Six months later, it's a constant thing, probably about 80% of the time.The tracking is also not great.  With a mouse pad it's bearable, without one it's impossible.  Either way, sometimes small movements just don't happen at all.  I'm never really sure where the pointer will be when I move the mouse.The three year battery life was good for about 6 months.  To me that's not a big deal.  I've usually got batteries on hand because we go through them quickly in remotes, so if that was the only problem with this mouse it would hardly be worth mentioning.The shape of the mouse is comfortable, and the scroll wheel is fantastic.  But the mouse really does have to work properly before those things become important.For the primary computers I've owned nothing but Logitech mice and mostly Logitech keyboards since the day I gave up my IBM tactile click keyboard.  This mouse has been so frustrating that it has convinced me to give up on Logitech for good.

Question: How is the battery?

I struggled giving this a 3 star review, because the low price should be a factor int he score.  But is the MP3 player decent or not?  The price really shouldn't matter or decide whether it's good or bad.  And the truth it, it's both.For one, the Rhapsody software it want you to use is junk.  Get rid of it because it doesn't do what it's supposed to and it's clunky, crappy, outdated software.  The way to sync media with this device is with Windows Media Player.  It works best and is the program that makes the most sense.Now to the device.  For one, the buttons are spotty on mine.  Occasionally, the pause button just decides to not work, so I essentially have to shut the thing off at that point.  Which isn't a big deal if you're just listening to songs.  But if you listen to audiobooks or radio shows you've recorded or podcasts, it doesn't ALWAYS save your location on the file.  It usually does, but again, it's spotty and occasionally the device just decides to not save where it was in the file.Another major problem I've had is the battery life.  I'll turn on my device to see it with 50% power.  Then, about 20 minutes later, it shuts off inexplicably and tries to tell me that the battery is empty.  Great.Now this thing is light and I like that.  It clips very comfortably on to your clothes and the clip is sturdy.  So that's one in the plus column.  It's inexpensive but at no point using this device have I forgotten that.  It feels cheap through and through.  And really... it's not all THAT cheap.Otherwise, it does what it's supposed to do.  It plays music files.  You can create custom playlists in WMP or whichever syncing software you choose and it's cool.  Navigating through menus is pretty straight forward.  The sound is decent.Everything about this MP3 player is average at best.  Which isn't necessarily a bad thing.  If you're looking for a solid MP3 player that's light and relatively inexpensive, I personally think you'll be fien here.  It's great for working out and things like that.  I paid nearly $60 for mine and for that price, it does it's job.  Nothing more though.  It doesn't impress me or leave me blown away.  It just does what I paid it to do.

Question: How do you like the keyboard?

As with most Microsoft products, great hardware, poor software, but oh well.Now I'm using this thing right now, and I never noticed the spacebar thing, but it's true, if you don't press the spacebar correctly and press it on the upper area, it's hard to press down. I've always pressed spacebars as they were meant to be pressed so I had no issues adjusting.The largest challenge with this keyboard is using home row correctly, Microsoft puts out products based on the standard, and has done this with its' Natural line since the start. I use my left hand correctly, my right, on my Logitech Elite, went all over the place; I can only imagine how wrong my right hand usage was. This keyboard forces you to relearn typing, for typing classes, a Natural keyboard would be perfect, it makes you type correctly. I don't much like the N key, but I've learned to use it and the M key correctly, no more hitting my enter key while going for quotes either.The zoom function is novelty, not necessity, it's fun to use normally but mostly useless otherwise, really exclusively for the always-in-office user, what they need to do is make it a scroll button too, it's highly sensitive and easy to use, which would make scrolling silky smooth in a way only overpriced mice manage.Therein lies the problem, the software is inferior to my cheapie Logitech Elite(Which had more functions I might add as well as better software.), there is hardly any customization to be had. There is no taskbar icon; most of the remapping done is through an interface integrated into the already well-hidden Keyboard area under the control panel. Remapping options are less than fantastic, the favorites keys are useless, the back and forward buttons will work with either a browser or a media player, not both, zoom cannot be reconfigured, and Mail only allows one indicated program to be opened.This is what is wrong with the favorite's keys, they allow but five programs to be opened, you cannot indicate that you wish to open a menu of programs to select, merely one program per key, same with all of the other keys. The lack of "My" keys for the F# Buttons is annoying, but that's just a design decision for a non-media keyboard, and I don't mind much.This keyboard would've done better to have more configuration and just a couple more media keys, but I suppose it's my fault for asking that much of it, it's designed for the office, not a music listeners hands. I'll go into the aesthetics of this baby now to round it off.Some may notice the shift keys are smaller, and the enter key even smaller, the right of the keyboard is larger than the left in the way of keys, which seems fine, to me at least, I find reaching the Backspace key uncomfortable, placing your hands on this keyboard is like a match made in heaven, seems a shame to reach so far away and break off from paradise.That leads me to this palm rest, wow, sick of those cheap detachable plastic palm rests(Read: Wrist Destroyers)? This is your ticket, so soft, yet strong, it's the cashmere of palm wrests. The 2x3 layout is back to normal, which I very much enjoy, insert is back home and delete is too. The keys above the numpad offer more functions that I have yet to use, but are nice to have all the same, the curvature of the keys takes getting used to, particularly the aforementioned N key and it's sibling the M key. The Alt, Ctrl, Windows, Menu, and Start keys are all gigantic and hard to miss, they feel pretty great.The spacebar, apparently if struck correctly, is amazing, it's designed for this keyboard in a way that no spacebar has ever been, it's almost destructive of what you're typing looking down while you type, seeing it all functioning the way it does, it's almost like some kind of alien technology, which is why I don't look.The...crappy plastic attachment that comes attached(Oddly enough) to this masterpiece is best taken out(Easily) and forgotten, it's all personal preference of course, I didn't like it, the slope of the keys makes leaving your hands where they are painless and then very comfortable. The prop-ups on the back make it more conventional and I rather like them, but now the size.This keyboard is undeniably the largest keyboard I have ever laid eyes on, the sheer width and height is enough to make a laptop user gawk for moments at a time, it is critical you have a large amount of desk space to place this on, I didn't, and I had to move my entire PC over more to the left just to manage a nice cozy fit. When the legs on this baby are propped it also reaches monitor height, I.E., it will not fit very well under a monitor, which is why it is best used in a keyboard tray, though I'd worry about it's large scale hurting the tray after a long enough time.In conclusion, this is a masterful piece of hardware, and it has virtually no flaws, the software is pathetic at best and obviously designed for the dullard worker drone, it's a pity really, all the same, it deserves four stars, here's to hoping they manage to improve the boring, bland software.8/10 (Not an average)

The Alt, Ctrl, Windows, Menu, and Start keys are all gigantic and hard to miss, they feel pretty great.The spacebar, apparently if struck correctly, is amazing, it's designed for this keyboard in a way that no spacebar has ever been, it's almost destructive of what you're typing looking down while you type, seeing it all functioning the way it does, it's almost like some kind of alien technology, which is why I don't look.The...crappy plastic attachment that comes attached(Oddly enough) to this masterpiece is best taken out(Easily) and forgotten, it's all personal preference of course, I didn't like it, the slope of the keys makes leaving your hands where they are painless and then very comfortable. The prop-ups on the back make it more conventional and I rather like them, but now the size.This keyboard is undeniably the largest keyboard I have ever laid eyes on, the sheer width and height is enough to make a laptop user gawk for moments at a time, it is critical you have a large amount of desk space to place this on, I didn't, and I had to move my entire PC over more to the left just to manage a nice cozy fit. When the legs on this baby are propped it also reaches monitor height, I.E., it will not fit very well under a monitor, which is why it is best used in a keyboard tray, though I'd worry about it's large scale hurting the tray after a long enough time.In conclusion, this is a masterful piece of hardware, and it has virtually no flaws, the software is pathetic at best and obviously designed for the dullard worker drone, it's a pity really, all the same, it deserves four stars, here's to hoping they manage to improve the boring, bland software.8/10 (Not an average)

<hl> This keyboard forces you to relearn typing <hl> , for typing classes, a Natural keyboard would be perfect, it makes you type correctly.


Question: How low is the cost?

I use this for archiving files off my computer, so it only gets light use from me. I use it with a MacBook Pro running 10.6.8.Over the course of about six months I've never lost a file or had any data get corrupted. Files get moved fast. The price is competitive. I would love to get a second one.

Question: How are the results?

Sigma has a real winner here. This lens is unusual for a 50mm as they are typically rather small. This one is much larger than the Nikon/Canon variants (other than the Canon 1.2 of course!!!). But still, it is not THAT big. Feels real good on my D700. I also LIKE the 77mm filter size as that is somewhat of a standard filter size in Nikonland and I have them already! This compares favorably, for example, to the new Nikon 50 1.4 AFS as that takes an unusual filter size for Nikon shooters (58mm).Anyway, this lens is solidly constructed, as I would expect from a Sigma EX lens. It also focuses quickly, accurately, and quietly, with the well implemented HSM focusing system that Sigma has developed. It is also sharp, acceptably-so wide open, and razor sharp stopped down a bit. Nice bokeh. Combine this with a D700 or D3 and you have perhaps an incomparable low combo! You cannot believe the shots you can make with this lens and those Nikon bodies in very dim light. I like how the lens handles. Jeez, I just like everything about it!!! No need to go Nikon for this lens type. Very very highly recommended...

Question: How is the keyboard?

Ordered this for my HTPC in the living room. I picked it up because there are times when you can't just get by with a remote. This thing does everything that I need it to. It is a functional keyboard. I have big hands and even though it is a reduced size keyboard, I find typing on it to be easy. The touchpad works great. If there were one thing wrong with the touchpad, it might be that the sensitivity is just a hair low.The build quality is decent, but I wouldn't leave this thing out to get stepped on or dropped repeatedly. I just make sure to put it away when I am done. I have had no issue with the connectivity. I turn the keyboard on and have a connection in seconds. I typically work from 12ft away and have never missed a keystroke. I would buy and recommend this keyboard.

Question: How is the button?

This is my favorite laptop mouse of all times! I have tried several other mice in the past, including Microsoft Explorer Mini Mouse, which is great too, but I've never liked the 'smooth' mouse wheel. This Logitech mouse allows you to choose between both, which is a plus! Battery life is great too; it's been over a year now and I'm still using the same batteries. The quality/feel of the mouse is very durable and feels great in my hands. Although smaller than I would like, this is a 'laptop' mouse and I have no complaints on that.Usability, I'm writing this review using my mouse on my bed as the surface and it works great!The usb transmitter is small enough to leave it plugged into my laptop at all times. On the mouse, a coool feature of turning it off and protecting the lens from dust is very convenient too!This mouse is quite expensive, I agree to that, but if you can, wait for rebates. They have it every now and then, even after a year I still see rebates out @ Amazon.Also, one more thing about this mouse is that I live in a pretty high humidity location (Hawaii) and it affects some of my desktop Logitech mice's texture. (eg. MX1000) For some reason on the sides, the thin layer material tends to swell up and deteoriate over time. This mouse doesn't have that problem.Not much else to say that other reviewers haven't said, but I'm getting one more as a gift! Highly recommended!

Question: How is ear?

These headphones are strong, well built, good looking. Sound wise they are quite capable of sounding loud and full based on hooking up to a ipod nano. They are bassy. If you like bass, you will like the sound of these.What I didn't like about these is the fit. Even though the band has stretched after certain period of time, I still find them uncomfortable. I can listen to these for an hour or so. Then I find my ears feel hot and these headphones are pressing my ears. Then again I am spoiled by the comfort and lightness of the bose OE2 which has become my default over the ear headphones of choice.So if you like bass, ad are used to over the ear headphones that are of a tight fit, you will likely love these. For me personally, I use them less often as they are uncomfortable for me. These are the design and I can't hold it against the manufacturer. Therefore I minused only one star.

Question: Is the focus of the binoculars simple and accurate?

I own and have used the lens for over 3 months now. I have experienced some softness out beyond 200mm while using it on auto-focus, but I am learning to work within the limits of the lens. Given what has been said in some reviews about softness out past 200mm (and my own initial experience) I decided to run some tests for how sharp the pictures could really be. The one caveat I had is that for the tests I ran I used manual focus - I wanted to test the optics not the AF or VR functions since they are not a requirement for using the lens. Also, I am starting to get very interested in Equestrian photography. I need the long zoom and have found that pre-focusing on a point, rather than depending on Auto-focus is much more effective for obtaining the results I am looking for.For my test I used this lens mounted on a D300 to take some pictures of a bell tower. Because I was specifically testing the lens for sharpness past 200mm (I shot several at 300mm) I focused the lens manually, and used a tripod. As it turned out there was chain link fencing over the opening to the bell which I could not see, from where I was standing in a parking lot across the street. That made my test even better.I then took several shots of the bell and the tower, being careful to focus the lens on specific characteristics of the bell. The shots were all sharp. I then downloaded and examined the photos at high magnification on my PC. I did not lose any significant resolution of the chain link (which I could only make out after I downloaded the pictures) or the objects I was focused upon until I viewing the shots at 200% or greater magnification. At that point you could actually begin to see the individual pixels. So I have to say that I do not agree with the reviews about how the lens gives poor results out past 200mm. I have obtained excellent results through the entire zoom range.I will say that the AF-S system for the lens seems to hunt a lot when there are a lot of objects in the field of view (i.e., the leaves on a tree while trying to photograph a bird), so it does sometimes focus on something other that what I want - that could have been what the others were complaining about. But if I assure myself that it is focused on my target and use the AF lock built into the camera that problem goes away. Also if I use the lens on manual focus the problem goes away.I am very happy with the lens and highly recommend it. I believe it is an outstanding value for the price.

Question: How is the image quality?

I have to assume that the folks who have had problems with this camera either have not completely read the manual that comes with it or are too quick on the trigger for shooting (all digital cameras need a second to focus properly before fully depressing the button), or they received a lemon (which is why companies provide warranties) and they should have either return the camera to Amazon, as defective, for a replacement or to Canon for fixing.  I have found Canon Service to be Excellent over the years.  I have used them on a couple of occasions.  On one, the camera was well over a year out of warranty, the cost to me was going to be about $149 to fix.  After they received it, they wrote to me that this was a component that has been failing, and should not, and thus there would be no charge for the service.  Now, I can not ask for a more honest, customer oriented manufacturer than these folks.Now, it is true that because there is a "popup" flash, I needed to learn to hold the camera differently.  The way Canon suggested is Great as it gives me, and the camera, far more stability than the old way. I did use my left hand finger on top of the camera in a pincer hold with my other fingers.  Now, it is cradled in my left hand between my thumb and second finger with the first finger cradled along the side of the lens giving me far less shake.  By the way, this flash sure does light things up far better than my other cameras with the built in flash on the front!!!Thus far, the zoom shots have been awesome, everyone is raving about the quality of the pictures I have taken of them,, Low light shots are unbelievably clear as if I was using a flash and the day shots are great.  This Powershot S90 is a super digital camera.Thank you Cannon for a Great Camera.

Question: Is this phome comes with a charger?

I've only been using this charger for a week, but in that time I've had no issues with it.  I mention this because I have heard that accessories like this tend to work great in the beginning and then die suddenly after 2 months, and I also plan to follow up on the review.  For now, I will say that this charger is great.  It is designed really well and tastefully- the black and silver look sleek and the illuminated blue "M" is beyond nice.  The quality of the materials exceeded my expectations- it's not cheap or flimsy feeling at all.  I use it to charge my HTC Incredible 2, and it does so quickly and without problems.  The cord is a comfortable length and the coil keeps it from becoming an annoyance.  Love it so far!**Update:  After 3 months of daily use, I've run into a problem.  The plug seems to not fit the por quite right anymore, and now charges only if it is in the perfect position.  Not happy about that.
