TrekStor i.Beat Classico FM 2 GB MP3 Player (Black and white)

• Sleek silver digital audio player with 2 GB flash memory and built-in FM tuner
• Supports MP3, WMA, and OGG audio formats; line-in recording to MP3
• Compatible with secure WMA-DRM9 music services; dual headphone jacks for 2 listeners
• 8 preset equalizer settings; 2-color OLED screen; 20 station presets
• Lithium-polymer battery; measures 2.7 x 1.1 x 0.5 inches (W x H x D); 1-year warranty

What made me buy the i.Beat Classico was its line-in recording capability. One of the headphone jacks doubles as a stereo line-in jack and you can record any audio source to mp3 at 320kbps. I've recorded one of my records to mp3 this way it works wonderfully. However, your audio source better be LOUD because the input for recording on the classico does not seem to be very sensitive...

The FM recording, on the other hand, is pretty awful. I have a hard time getting a good signal to begin with. When I do get a decent signal, if I press record, the static increases. Wierd.

The microphone recording works extremely well. I have randomly had very static recordings that were definitely introduced by the player somehow. But that didn't happen often.

Mp3 playback is decent, but riddled with infrequent problems like random static (solved by skipping away from the song, and then skipping back to it).

There's a loud *thud* when you turn it on, and another when you turn it off. Sometimes I have the player plugged into my car stereo, and the thud is extremely loud!

Lastly, it's very small, and I used my thumb nail to push most of the "buttons" on the player. That was kind of annoying...

Unfortunately, I can't recommend this player to anyone. It was cool when it worked (which was most of the time), but the fact that it wasn't 99% reliable hurt its reputation with me.

Neewer Battery for Sony NP-730 NP-F750 NP-F730H TR7000 Camcorder

I am using this battery in a 20W Sony HVL-20DW2 video light and the performance is impressive. I'm getting at least 30 minutes of battery life with no overheating or charging anomalies. I'm charging it with one of the generic 8.4V, 600mA chargers often sold here on Amazon with no issues at all.

So far it seems like a great alternative to the much more expensive Sony branded battery.

fully charged in reasonable time, holds charge well, powers lights and camera well; seems reliable thus far, for how long?

Logitech Broadcaster Wi-Fi Webcam for HD Video Streaming, Calling, Recording - Black (960-000854)

Pros:

* The case it comes in is great; very nice looking, compact, durable, and the lid doubles as a mini-tripod stand (great feature)

* Easy set up with iPods and computer (uses a quick and painless method of QR code syncing)

* Device itself is small, clean looking, simple to use, has flash, and works like it's supposed to

* Livestream works wonderfully with no problems

* For the most part, works as advertised

Cons:

* Is not Windows compatible (does not work at all with Windows)

* Does not function over Bluetooth

* Does not work (or at least I couldn't get it to work) over a public wifi (university's wifi) signal

* My iPhone 5 takes higher quality video than the camera itself

* When you have it connected to your iPhone/iPod the iPhone/iPod must remain turned on (as in, the iPod cannot go into sleep mode, meaning you cannot let the screen go dim) otherwise it cuts the signal to the camera instantly, and stops the recording

This is a very cool new kind of webcam, designed specifically for Macs, iPads and iPhones. It looks good, it comes in a handy storage case that doubles as a mini-camera mount, it has a built in lamp for illuminating what you're shooting, it records decent sound as is and allows you to add an external microphone for even better sound. One thing I like is that all it takes to access the application that controls it is to plug it in to your computer via USB. It immediately leads you through the installation process.

Of course, if you have any of those devices, you already have a webcam, so why would you need a new one? You wouldn't at least not a standard webcam designed to mount on top of the computer and record your face. But what if you wanted to switch between your face and your profile or between your face and the baby's crib, as you were Skyping with grandma? This makes it easy to switch live between the built-in webcam and another view, anywhere that's in range of the same access point you are using. It would be ideal if, for example, you were streaming an interview live, where you could put one person in charge of switching the viewpoint in front of the laptop, and another interviewee seated comfortably nearby with this recording their responses.

What got me most excited, though, was the potential to use it for stop motion. I use a stop motion program (iStopMotion) that allows me to preview shots and control a webcam from my computer. With this I can set up the camera wherever I like, untethered to my computer, and then record things one shot at a time. I actually went looking around for something like this that would work on my Mac a couple years ago and couldn't find anything like it out there. The images look great, and the process works great. The camera can either mount directly, via a magnetized swivel ball on the bottom, to the top of its carrying case, or, for even greater flexibility you can remove the lid of the case and mount that to a tripod (or gorillapod) via a standard 1/4" mounting screw. I wish, though, they'd also included a screw mount on the bottom of the camera, because that would allow for even greater flexibility -say if you wanted to mount this to a gorillapod mount and mount that to a lamp on the top of the ceiling.

I have noticed, further, that for this to work you do have to have a strong WiFi signal nearby. This doesn't seem to pick up signal as well as some other WiFi devices I've used. In certain spots of my house, and even in my office, I get a message from the Broadcaster app that the video bandwidth is insufficient and I can see heavy pixelation in the images. This is true even where I know that the bandwidth is capable of streaming HD movies from Amazon or Netflix, so I can only assume it's due to the device's own WiFi transmitter/receiver. That's the biggest weakness of the device as far as I'm concerned, and the reason why I don't give it the highest rating.

Overall, though, this is a fantastic new kind of webcam, that's well designed, and works well for video calling and for other creative uses ... if you have a strong nearby signal.

What this camera does not do is function as a security or nanny cam. It is a surprising omission in what otherwise is a very impressive wireless video camera for OSX and iOS devices. It turns off after a while.

Setup is simple. An O.R. code is generated on your setup device, in my case, a MacBook Pro. Once a connection is made to a WiFi network, you simply hold the camera about six inches from the screen and within ten seconds or so, the camera is fully operational.

The hollow base serves as a storage compartment for the device which has a builtin rechargeable battery as well as an external power connection. The base also serves as a multidirectional video mount, eliminating the need for tripods, etc.

I have accessed the stream on my MacBook Pro, my iPhone 5, and my new iPad. It also broadcasts to UStream so you can share with your friends and neighbors. A Facebook or YouTube link is provided, and uploading to those services from Apple devices is easy. iMovie is supported as well for those fans of this quirky Apple app.

Logitech positions this as a multi-angle camera to supplement the builtin in cameras on Apple devices. It promotes dual camera shots on Skype calls (and presumably on FaceTime) but unless you are a Spielberg wannabe or an aspiring adult movie star it does not seem worth the trouble.

As to the 720p resolution, it is adequate. Logitech does offer a 1080p webcam but without the wireless capacity. The wireless functionality is the key here and accompanied by a person hotspot (and a great data plan) you can practice being Steven Spielberg anywhere.

We bought this camera hoping to have found the fountain of youth, but even though video quality is great and the concept is great too, even on direct power, it resets itself after 30 minutes. For streaming this is a serious problem because when Wirecast looses the signal has to be restarted to get it back and half way through a concert or church service, that is not possible.

Logitech should develop a 920 with the possibility of using Canon EF lenses. That would be a dream come true for webcasters and a huge step for human kind.

This device works quite well in a Wi-Fi environment. The picture quality is very good when uploaded to U-Stream or to a computer for later posting. It has the benefit of not having to lug around another computer or equipment. The base it comes with is not so great. The camera falls of easily and one should not leave it unattended. I think it is a bit pricy for what you get.

Jazz DV151 VGA Digital Video Camera (Red)

See my Video Review of this product Jazz Pocket Camcorder

We found the "Jazz DV151" pocket camcorder at one of the big box stores for somewhat less than the current retail price on Amazon. At roughly 1/2 to 1/3rd the price of the Flip Video Ultra Series Camcorder, 60-Minutes (Black), it seemed to be worth the risk of buying it as a backup pocket camcorder. Here are my observations:

Pros:

* Acceptable video quality *FOR THE PRICE* it is only 320x240, not even VGA (the Flip wins hands down)

* Very good microphone this was real surprise, the microphone is more sensitive than the Flip

* Has built in USB connector Like the Flip, but only USB 1.1

* Comes with a USB extension cable!

* Works as a SD card reader when connected to PC via USB (see above)

* Has Video Out can be connected to a TV for playback, cables included

* 1.5" LCD screen can rotate for convenient viewing while self recording (the Flip cannot)

* Saves files in AVI format No conversion needed

Cons:

* Low video quality it is 320x240 (but again good for the price)

* Does not come with any memory You must buy a SD card (up to 2GB) before using (sometimes included as a bundle)

Misc:

* Uses 2 AA batteries (not included)

So for a really inexpensive camcorder, with YouTube usable quality, this is a fairly good option. For use in any meaningful way, not so much.

I purchased 2 of these cameras for Christmas for my kids ages 15 & 19 and what a mistake that was! They worked fine for the first week but now my oldest daughters does not work at all, when you turn it on it just says 'card read' and that's all the further you can go, of course there was no troubleshooting guide in the 'book' that came with the camera so I had to go to their website so I could contact them. Unfortunately their website is a piece of junk too and I was not able to log onto it for about a week, I finally got a number that was directed to a company called Digitac apparently the company that manufactures the Jazz camera is no longer in business and they are handling all issues with these cameras. At this point my only option is to send the camera to Digitac for a replacement. I am very disappointed with this product and had I known better I would have invested a few more dollars and gotten a better camera! I will chalk this one up as a lesson learned!

Simple controls. Needs plenty of light for a fairly decent picture. Can't remove the time stamp.

Feels insubstantial. Doesn't feel like it will take much knocking around. It is worth the $40 or so I paid, but no more.

AVerMedia A188 HD Duet - Dual ATSC PCI-E TV Tuner for Windows Media Center

Didn't even try to install the software that came with it, Media Center on Windows 7 works great with this card. I have had various ATI cards, but was looking for a decent true dual tuner (not a hybrid or a combo). This exceeded my expectations.

I wanted a dual ATSC tuner for mainly watching TV, and once a while record TV. I was using this in a workstation, which has no power management in either the BIOS or the OS (WinXP x64), so I thought it was safe to buy this after reading about other users who said theirs disappear from the Device Manager after going to S3 sleep.

I don't use sleep or hibernation, so I thought it would not affect me, but after installing it for three days, it disappeared from the Device Manager on the fourth day. Restarting and shutting down the computer did nothing. I even moved it to another PCIe X1 slot, and it still wasn't recognized. The only way it would get recognized again is if I cut the power to the power supply (turn off the switch in the back) and wait a couple of minutes. Mine disappeared with just about every other restart/startup of the computer, which is extremely annoying!

Based on the serial number, it seems Amazon is still selling older stock. Two days ago, the tuner was there on bootup, but then disappeared after it finished booting. You know it has disappeared because the AverQuick icon on your system tray turns from yellow to gray. Rather than try to deal with it, I returned the POS to Amazon for a refund. Presumably Avermedia has newer cards which fixes this issue, but I don't want the hassle of dealing with it.

I think Avermedia should be made to recall all these cards... The complaints for this disappearing problem was dated back a few years ago...and I had thought all would have been addressed and fixed by now...but I guess I'm wrong. Too bad...it's a pretty decent dual ATSC tuner (especially given the price) when it works.

UPDATE: With the availability of the $25 rebate, I decided to give Avermedia another chance, so ordered another one a couple of months later, and hoping that I would receive a later revision (given that Amazon must have a fast turnover for their products). This time I did received one with a much later serial number. However, despite that, it unfortunately still does the disappearing trick. After installation, I restarted the computer five consecutive times...and then it disappeared from the Device Manager.

Other users have mentioned that this problem is mostly with AMD systems, which my latest workstation is, so I decided to try it on my slightly older Intel Xeon based workstation...same issue there...

Some other users indicate that it might be a problem with heat. I touched it while it's in operation with both tuner working (when it was recognized that it)...and it was just slightly warm. Deciding to investigate this issue further, I decided to underclock and undervolt my workstation to see if it makes a difference. The Duet seems to not disappear. I restarted the workstation many times and it did NOT disappear. Also, the ambient room temperature has been quite a bit colder than the last card I tested because it's now December. I even put this in S3 sleep and then woke it up...and it was still there. It actually operated like this w/o issues for the past two weeks with many restarts and shutdowns w/o issue.

However, just as soon as I set the voltages and clock speeds back to default, the disappearing issues came back. Now, you're wondering why I don't just run my workstation at the lower clocks and voltages. But why bother upgrading to a faster workstation if you're going to underclock it? The other thing was that the workstation (other adapter cards) wasn't 100% stable at 100% of the time at the lower voltages. Besides, you expect 100% stability from a workstation, unlike a gaming rig for example. So back this goes to Amazon again... I don't think I'll waste my time with trying another one (unless they come out with a newer version (not just revision).

Buy AVerMedia A188 HD Duet - Dual ATSC PCI-E TV Tuner for Windows Media Center Now

The tunner works flawlessly with windows 7 64 bit. The tunners also handle weak signals well, much better than my wintv HVR9500 usb. Best off all, you get 2 tunners for $68.99! One important note, this card is digital only. and no FM. If you have any low power analog staions in your area you should add a hybrid tunner. Vista and latter will see up to 4 digital and 4 analog tuners, so adding as hybrid tuner will alow 1 more show to be recorded. A note about how manny tuners you should have. To ensure you don't miss the beginning or end of any shows, (in case of those inevitable delays that ocasionally occure)you need at least 2 tuners to record consecutive shows on different channels. This allows a 5 or 10 min buffer at the begining and end. It is REALLY frustrating when you miss the last few minuits of a show because it was delayed and MC stoped recording to start another. These cards support PIP whan the included software is used, but I haven't tried it yet.

I recently dropped dish and installed this tuner on a new Acer Win7 machine. The installation was fairly easy and only took a few minutes to get the drivers installed of the disc. Now it is working flawlessly. I use Windows Media Center as my DVR. I have no complaints so far and love not having the bill from Dish. Any problems I had with the signal came from antennae adjustments. Now that I have that configured I have crystal clear HD signal.

Workes well in Win 7 64 bit and in MCE:

Win 7 64 bit does not automatically pick up this card upon installation. Nothing shows up in Device Manager.

Downloaded Win 7 64bit driver from manufacturer - and installed driver, rebooted PC. Volla! Card shows up in Device Manager without any problem. Driver installation was quick and straightforward.

Picture quality looks OK. HD TV looks good by itself anyway. No major difference I can tell from the Hauppauge Win TV card I have

One of the best velue for DUAL digital tunner, especially considering that I bought used. You really just need to card itself no other accessories/manual/CD are needed if you buy used one

Product limitations:

Limited by only 1 signal input, shared among the two tunner. So, if you want to hook up more than one sources (like cable and satellite) you should look for a different product

Digital only Over The Air (OTA) ATSC broadcasting, or Clear QAM from cable. If you need to tune traditional cable signals, or traditional OTA NTSC broadcasting signals, you need a different product. But why would you want to look at any thing other than the digital TV anyway?

Toshiba DVR660 1080p Upconverting VHS DVD Recorder with Built-in Tuner

• DVD Recorder/VCR Combo
• Progressive Scan
• 1080p Upconversion
• With Built-in Digital Tuner
• JPEG Photo Viewer

I have a Samsung digital TV (1080p), and with my new Toshiba DVR660 and an HDMI cable, I can turn HD programming into sharp DVD's that appear to match my 1080p picture pixel for pixel. (In actuality, the DVR660 records it to 480p and then upconverts it back to 1080p.) By the way, I get all my programming from a portable antenna, and the DVD recorder has an excellent HD tuner.

The VCR is adequate, giving me the same picture quality as the SONY which preceeded it. After seeing how easy it was to make a DVD recording, and how fabulous the results, I realized that I would never make a VCR recording again. It did an excellent job dubbing a VCR tape to a DVD.

Although I am not a computer programmer like the "Man from Happy Rock", who found it so difficult to use, I found that the machine was not so difficult to use at all, as long as you followed the instructions. One of the major complaints from Mr. Happy Rock was that the machine turns itself off after you use the "set timer" button. My brother, who IS a computer programmer, said that his Magnavox also turns itself off when you use the "set timer" function and that they all do this. He also said it took him 2 years to master his Magnavox!

I did have a couple questions the first day, and I called the Toshiba telephone number given for DVD recorders. My call was answered by a real person with an American accent within 30 seconds. She answered all my questions easily.

Before I purchased this recorder, I spent hours reading and re-reading the reviews for like products made by Sony, Samsung, Panisonic, JVC, Philips, etc. All the other products seemed to have fatal flaws, so I made the decision for Toshiba. I'm glad I did.

Buy Toshiba DVR660 1080p Upconverting VHS DVD Recorder with Built-in Tuner Now

I couldn't be happier with this combo vhs/dvd recorder in regards to performance, features, and ease of use. I likewise read the reviews here and for other liketype products; this one seemed to have the least amount of "issues". Here's what I found: flawlessly and easily installs out of the box, and the digital tuner works great. While this product sure has lots of features, it's really a snap to set and record to your heart's content. I've barely touched the surface, but it's great to finally (and easily) be able to record off of tv, dub older vhs tapes, and copy just about anything to dvd via the L2 inputs on the front of the unit (ie plugging in a camcorder, etc.). Priced right, easy to install, easy to use, a quality product with all of the features and more-don't hesitate on this one.

If you read the specifications for this machine it appears to be a dream and it does appear to have all the features specified and some very cool features not well documented. One would expect the latest and greatest to be the most forward looking, with this expectation I was surprised at what I have come to expect as standard features to be missing or retro.

* Even though DVD+RW is the superior technology, all the "better" recording features are only supported by DVD-RW! For example, 16:9 aspect ratios, scene delete, combine titles, etc. To me this alone warrants the loss of a rating star.

* The recording of HDTV programs will become a mandatory ability in February of 2009. I recorded several HD programs on DVD+RW media and played them back, at the six hour speed, they were so badly pixilated as to be nearly unwatchable (probably too much up and down converting). When I recorded NTSC (normal until 2/2009) TV the recording were no better nor worse than on machines without ATSC/QAM receivers. This needed to be much better than it is.

* My last three recorders have all been Panasonic's not by conscious choice or loyalty, but rather more as coincidence and superior ratings, at the time. I expect that when I define a program to record I can name the recording (on the DVD side) so that I know what is on the disk. This is not available on this machine. After you record you can label what you have recorded, this is exactly backwards from my expectations.

* VCR output is analog ONLY on RCA pin-outs not even via s-video, let alone HDMI! The TV signal continues to play out of the HDMI while the video plays. This has additional ramifications for dubbing or cross-recording below.

Perhaps the single most confusing and frustrating thing about this machine is setting the timer (programmed recording). I have been programming VCRs/DVD recorders for 30+ years and I have been a computer programmer for the bulk of this time too, so I am not easily confused by setting up a recorder and scheduling a program for recording. Besides the retro programming features above you will very likely lose or fail in your initial scheduled recording efforts. You will see an E40 error reported for the failure, unhelpfully meaning overlapping recording or recording did not start on time. What has happened is you did not press the "timer set" button, unobviously located in the middle of the last row of the remote! If you press the "red on/off button", on the remote, no recordings will be made (thus making it nearly impossible to use a universal remote on this machine as the "timer set" will probably not be defined). The unit MUST be TURNED OFF using the "timer set" button or NOTHING will be RECORDED!!! This has been so confusing I redundantly record on another device to insure I get the program. This warrants at minimum the loss of at least one rating star perhaps two. A recorder should never let you miss a recording (when properly programmed) except for a very good reason, e.g. disk full or overlapping programs. This one lets you miss all of them for silly illogical reasons.

Suppose you record "The Soup" every Friday on E!, but in between you wish to watch an episode of HBO's Rome on a DVD. Well if you press the power button (red on/off button) you will not be able to access the DVD player. It is locked for recording on Friday. The only way to access it is to press the ... you guessed it, the "timer set" button. Of course doing that kills all the programmed recordings, so you better remember to press it again or you will lose the ability to record all future programmed recordings (i.e. miss The Soup until you press the "timer set" button)! Pressing the more obvious red on/off button is not going to fix it, but only yield an e40 error.

I expect that the latest machines would have superior image processing. Sadly it is no better than a $50 Sam's Club special, when I visually compare the two on the same "passage" of a program. Obviously without an S-video out for any video tapes, a player with S-video will look better.

My primary purpose in purchasing this machine was to cross copy/dub family videos. Recording at various speeds does seem to be clean and as good as can be expected. I was very concerned that there is no way adjust the tracking on video tapes however this seems to be pretty smart and appears to be constantly adjusting for the best setting. It has worked on all the videos I have tested so far. However if you have the DVD on an HDMI or S-video connection you will need to switch back and forth between two outputs on your TV to see and cue your video then switch to the other side to set up and start the dubbing process! There is, of course, the usual problem of playing DVD+/-RW on a PC the only reliable player I have found for this problem is VLC media player portable, a freeware player.

A cool feature is the ability to watch what you are recording with DVD-RW, and have it keep track of where you are.

In short this looks like it might be a pretty good dubbing/cross recording video machine but as a general purpose family room player I think there are cheaper and better choices on the market today.

Want Toshiba DVR660 1080p Upconverting VHS DVD Recorder with Built-in Tuner Discount?

I bought a flat screen (720p) because my old TV finally shut down. I still use an antenna and I'm extremely happy with an antenna input to the HDTV! Lots of channels for free and the picture is vastly superior to cable!!

However, the ease of recording a program if I wasn't going to be home seemed to be gone. The guys at Best Buy and other people who were very technical told me it couldn't be done anymore without getting cable, or TiVO or other fancy gizmo that required a subscription to something or was hugely expensive, or both. They said it was impossible to record DTV to a tape. I didn't see why it couldn't be downconverted, taped, and upconverted again.

They were wrong (and I was right). This is just like my old trusty DVD/VCR combo with more capabilities and I can use it with HDTV! I can record to either VCR or DVD because it has a tuner. Plus I can still play my old tapes, or convert them.

The only trouble was that the setup was confusing (you have to set the input on the TV first) and I had to go out and buy the cables for DVD recording. Once you get the hang of it though, you're back to the days of easy recording of your favorite shows without a lot of fuss or expense.

JULY 17 IMPORTANT UPDATE THE THING DIED OVERNIGHT! I still stand by it being able to record and I appreciate the nice comment. However this morning the clock wasn't on and the thing had simply died overnight for no apparent reason. It is plugged into a surge protector. I have noticed that more machines like this are on the market now and as long as it has a tuner, you can still record digital TV directly to a VCR or DVD. Just make sure it has a built-in tuner.

Be aware (for the uninitiated like me) HDMI cable provides for only DVD signal. Standard VHS or S-video cable required to operate the VHS.

Wireless Color Spy Video Camera Complete Package

I gave it a good shot, I tried with it for several hours to try to make it work properly, but it was to no avail. I used the provided power supplies and wireless adapter that it came with along with every combination of dip-switch settings on the camera and possible position of the knob on the receiver with nothing better than a very irritating noise from the audio and an extremely choppy and unable to be made out image from the video this was at only 24 feet away with no obstructions. Then I tried even closer (see the posted video) at less than 7 feet with no obstructions and still had a terrible picture and sound. I am an avid technology geek and DIYer and I can usually get anything to work, so if I can't make it do what I want, it will surely disappoint you. I'd advise to all others to find an alternative as I will be doing the same.

Okay, so, as advertised, this package came complete, down to two little mounting screws for the camera.

Camera (mounted to a small stand) with color video and single mic also includes mounting screws, a 9vdc power adapter and a 9v battery adapter.

Receiver includes video out, mono out, tuning knob, antenna, and 9v power adaptor.

Also included is a double male RCA cable to connect receiver to vcr or TV.

I also got a generic 9v battery to test everything out. I set everything up and connected the receiver to a small portable display. I eventually got sound, but no picture. My initial setup was with the 9v battery, and I think it may have been a bit underpowered as I got no video. But once I switched to the power adaptor, the video popped right on.

Nice system. The only bad thing is this camera's battery only lasts one day. The range is good, but not that far as I thought. The quality is good, but the signal often goes crazy. I would buy it.

I purchased this system for my father, as he was having trouble with a neighbor and didn't feel comfortable leaving his home for long periods of time. The system was very easy to set up and worked pretty well as long as we where there. However, with movement, the signal does bounce all over the place, as it does when going from day to night. Also, the receiver gets very warm, which did surprise me. I don't know that I would trust it without being there for the majority of the time it's running, but it would be great to set up in a backyard to watch over your kids while they play.

Sony Walkman MZ-E33 MiniDisc Player

This little player (it is only a portable player; you have to have the recorder separately) does a great job of playing your recorded minidiscs. In newer automobiles with an input miniplug socket, you can play off this gadget into your car. Unfortunately, some of the solid-state mp3 players would make this gadget obsolete.

I have one, but I use it so rarely that I don't even know where it is. (I had better take the batteries out, or they'll make a mess inside it.) The headphone cord has a volume control built into it. They thought of everything back then; it is overall a better quality than anything being sold today.

The minidisc concept was brilliant; you could record absolutely anything into the minidisc recorder from your stereo via the output lines, and edit the result down to blocks of size 1/10 of a second (or was that 1/60th of a second? I forget), something that is almost impossible to do even on a computer without special software. But, of course, on the player, you can only play back the pre-recorded minidiscs.

To summarize, this piece of equipment is only valuable for someone who has the other half of the package: the recorder. And if you are one of those people, you already know all about the product, but it was a lot of fun to recount it anyway!

The less than perfect rating reflects my disappointment with the Sprint software, not the phone. This is a spectacular phone, and I cannot find anything that is even remotely disappointing about the phone itself.

Sprint, on the other hand, needs several months to be ready for the release of this phone. I should note that I bought my phone directly from Sprint, not from Amazon. The software on the phone made in conjunction with Sprint is idiotic at best. On the side of the phone is a USB connector, which is the only port on the phone. A logical outcome of this (Verizon did this with their software) is to use this USB port to allow direct connection to your computer. After several hours with Tech Support at Sprint I finally learned that this was a feature missing in the Sprint version of this phone. As such, in order to transfer data between the phone and your PC, you must have a card reader and remove the Micro SD card (you must remove the battery cover to do this).

Additionally, when I called to activate the phone I had to speak with 3 Sprint reps before I found one that had any idea how to activate the phone. The first two I spoke with did not believe me that Sprint had service for this phone. Keep in mind I ordered this phone from Sprint directly.

Yet another gripe about Sprint is the (lack) of what comes in the box. With the Verizon version a small adaptor comes in the box so that you can directly connect a 2.5mm headset to the phone. This is handy considering how much the phone is touted for its MP3 capability. The Sprint version does not come with this. At first Sprint reps told me it was an accessory, so I asked to purchase it and then found out that it is not available and they do not plan to stock it anytime soon. I called Verizon and they only have the adaptor with new phones. The result is that you can ONLY use bluetooth headsets with this phone until an adaptor becomes available.

My last gripe about Sprint. When I went to my local Sprint store to have the phone numbers from my old phone transfered to my new KRZR, they told me they could not do it. Apparently Sprint has not sent out the cables needed to do so yet, and the manager told me they expected to get it in a few weeks to over a month. A few weeks? A month? I have settled with the painstaking task of manually transfering my 250+ contacts to the new phone.

My advice is to switch to Verizon if you plan to get this phone. I have had Sprint for 7 years and have been happy until now. They are completely unprepared for the release of this phone and I forsee a less than stellar effort to correct these problems. Verizon also offers the phone at a lower price for anyone willing to sign a contract. Why deal with the hassle of searching out several accessories that should come standard with a phone?

The Motorola RAZR got an extreme makeover in order to reveal this must have mobile phone/fashion gadget.

This phone is perefected in such a way that all the little things that I didn't like about RAZR where taken care of.

PROS:

1. Of course it is the most stylistic phone that I have seen so far.

2. Call quality is very good.

3. Broswer is very practical and usable.

4. Playing music using the touch controls on the flip is very practical and serves like an mp3 player.

5. What I like very much is that I accidentally dropped this phone two times and to my surprise it with stood the fall both the times. I actually was very surprised that it only made very minor scratches which are barely visible. This actually proved that the material is of very good quality.

CONS:

1. The games provided (demo version) times out almost immediately. This defeats the whole purpose of experiencing the game before actually purchasing the full version.

2. The front plate requires cleaning on daily basis as it catches finger prints very easily.

I just got my first plan, being on a Pre-paid plan with Boost Mobile before this. Paying 20 bucks every 3 weeks was starting to bug me, and I was beyond paranoid about my minutes. So I decided to get the lowest plan at 30 bucks and get a new phone as well. I looked around and first decided on the Samsung M500, but it wasn't available in the store(I didn't want to put my SSN over the internet). So I went to Best Buy and saw that the KRZR was on sale for half price at 40 bucks. I heard about the lag etc, but decided to give this a try since I heard it was pretty popular. I am really glad that I did buy this phone!

Alright, on to the phone itself. Most importantly, the reception is really good on this phone. I almost always have a clear signal and always have a good quality receiving of calls. Listening to someone talk is always clear, but sometimes I do break up to others when I have 0 bars but still have connection. Overall reception is excellent (4.5 stars).

This phone doesn't look just hot, it is downright SEXY. Put this next to a RAZR and it definitely shows that it's made better, with the glass on the front and chrome body. The back is actually rubber, making the phone really comfortable in your hand. I didn't know this until I actually got the phone. I have never gotten so many compliments about my phone, a lot of people already know it by name yet it isn't very popular yet. The displays are amazing, with full color, and the blue touch screen music icons are pretty cool when you are using the mp3 function. More on that later.(5 Stars+)

The actual firmware on the phone is really cool. I love the way the menus are set up with the transparancy so that you see part of your wallpaper, it makes the menus look more modern. Like people have said, there is lag on this phone, but if you already have a Motorola then you should be used to it, as all of them have lag. NO its not like 2 seconds of lag, its a few milliseconds. The most lag I have is with pictures and the tab menu, but the tab menu can be changed to a list or grid, making it faster.

Construction wise the phone is very well made. The only complaint I have is the cheap usb door on it, since mine broke off on the first day. I can still put it back on, but I'm afraid I'll lose it. Other than that its very well made.(4.5 Stars)

The Mp3 Player and ringtones on this phone are awesome. This is probably going to replace my Toshiba Gigabeat since it's so easy to carry around. I ordered a 3.5mm adapter for the phone, but so far the speaker is really good quality for listening to ringtones, mp3's etc. It get's really loud and is better quality than the RAZR, which is really cool. You can do what I did and get a 1 gb Micro SD card(up to 2) for like 10 bucks and store a little more than 16.5 hrs of music on it, close to 500 songs at 64 bitrate. Also, you can get a data cable for a small fee and Motorola Phone Tools to get free Ringtones and convert video for your phone.(5 Stars)

The camera is pretty cool for the KRZR. The quality isn't amazing, but it is really good for the small lense it has. I took a pic of myself and edited it a little with Paint Shop Pro Photo and it looks like it was taken from a camera. Overall verry good (4 Stars)

I love the BlueTooth capability of this phone. It was nice and easy to set up my headset. All I did was click and hold my Jabra headset until the light turned solid blue, then searched for handsfree on the device. Voila! The headset works! This is an exceptional feature and I highly recommend it for anyone that needs handsfree while driving.(5 Stars+)

I don't have Sprint PowerVision so I don't know how good those features are. The game demo's are sub par, as you get like 2 minutes with each of them, and I don't want to spend the money on buying a new game. Same goes for texting, since I didn't sign up for that either.

Overall, I love this phone! I really can't keep my hands off of it, with its sexy styling, good reception, and good features such as camera and mp3 player with touch screen. The lag doesn't bother me too much, and I bet you'll get used to it, and with the right software this phone is really customizable. Buy a Blue Tooth headset and a memory card and you've got the ultimate phone, complete with mp3 and handsfree communication. Lets recap shall we?

Pros

-Downright SEXY styling-will most definitely grab others' attention

-Very good reception, except for areas of no bars (which seldom occurs)

-Comfortable to use with the rubber on the back

-Mp3 Function will probably replace my 10 GB Gigabeat

-Camera convenient unless you need perfect quality prints

-Good firmware, love the functions

-MicroSD and BlueTooth a good addition to an already amazing phone

-Amazing display, looks sharp

-Good quality construction, looks better made than current RAZR

Cons

-Little bit of lag, but easy to get used to

-Flimsy USB door, gotta watch out not to break it off

-Wierd place for MicroSD, under battery door, hard to open etc.

-Game demos a joke-only 2 min. of trial. Games too expensive

-Waste of money to pay for ringtones etc. from Sprint.

As you can see, my Pro's most definitely outweigh my cons, and my cons are not substantial. A few firmware upgrades can probably solve some of the lag, and the other things aren't too much of a pain. I would recommend this phone to ANYBODY that wants more than just a plain phone and is looking for something exciting and cool. If you don't like it, you do have 30 days to cancel without penalty, according to Sprint. So give it a try! What's there to lose?

*EDIT* I just got my headphone adapter and the Audio quality is amazing! It is as good if not better than my Toshiba Gigabeat, which is really saying something since its from a phone. I strongly suggest you pay the extra 5-10 bucks to buy this add-on.

First of all I didn't buy this phone from Amazon.

I bought it at Christmas and have had nothing but problems with it. Sprint has been NO help. I have wasted hours on the phone with customer service and have been to three Sprint Repair Centers. One was going to charge me $35.00 just to look at the phone. This phone is 2 1/2 months old and it was an expensive purchase.

There is a serious problem with lag with this phone. You don't see any numbers on the screen until what seems like seconds after you press each number key. It is so frustrating.

Text messaging is a joke. I used to have fun txt messaging. Not anymore. The default of multi-tap will switch to something else after 2 or three entered messages and there is no switching it back to multi-tap. I have to shut down the phone and restart to get it to switch to multi-tap.

I can't wait to get rid of it. I am so thoroughly disappointed with Sprint but I'm stuck in a 2 yr plan now. I wish I had bought the Treo.

Don't make the same mistake I made.

The only thing that this phone has going for it is the looks...it is VERY stylish and i get complimented on it every time i use it.

I bought this phone directly from sprint and it has been a complete nightmare!

First of all the phone is rediulously slow as far as when i dial numbers i am on the fourth or fifth one before they come across the screen. Also, when i press any button the response is maybe three or four seconds and i am talking 1-one thousand 2one thousand...

Second, i was playing a game on the phone and the circular plastic piece in the enter of the navigational keypad came off on my thumb as if it was glued on with elmer's...

and i am not rough with phones. i don't know if it was the sprint version or motorola, but i am ready to throw this phone against the wall, but since i am so vain i give it 2 stars just for the looks. but i am getting rid of it because looks ain't everything.

LG 800G Prepaid Phone (Net10)

Ok so im very pleased i bought this on a Wednesday night and received it on Saturday talk about fast well me and my family were tired of contract phone because we are currently with Verizon and they are expensive so we switched when the contract ended this phone is very responsive light and stylish put in my micro Sd card from my previous phone and it immediately recognized all files texting is very easy and fast and you can even download java apps like facebook and twitter takes ok pictures and video but definitely worth the buy because i am a college student and do everything on a phone and this works just fine for me 4/5 simply because its not an iphone or android but gets the job done with a bit of class :)

I purchased the lg 800g cell phone on Wednesday the seconded day of this November month 2011, and in two days I had received it by mail. Already I am starting to enjoying this cell phone, because its a lightweight, medium size cell phone like the size of a computer mouse that's easily to fit into my pans pockets while I am are traveling in car or walking. So, come-on. I mean, this is a helluva cell phone to get. It gots a 2.0 megapixel camera video recorder that shows pretty good videos and takes pretty good pictures. Also It haves an outstanding built in mp3 player with great sound quality, and I mean great sound quality. Down load app for face book, twitter, google, ect, but as you know need a micro sd card. So, if you are on a budget this is the cell phone to get, I guaranteed that you'll be satisfied with everything this particular cell phone haves to offer.

I've had this phone from Net10 for a while now, well into a month. I have used it constantly, from calling and texting to browsing the web and playing the cute games on it. Now, its not the top-of-the-line phone, meaning its browsing is limited, with little picture graphics and no easy way to watch videos. However, if you want to look at the weather, it is not only available, it has a speed link in the browser for it. Sound is good, especially with alarms, music, and incoming calls. Also, like Jeff Foxworthy, its hard to get rid of a cheapo. This phone is no exception. It drops onto bathroom tiles from a good height and has no problems, while I have seen a smartphone fall from a similar height and shatters the screen. Word of warning, though, due to the touchscreen, you may accidently launch the phone's browsing tool, which will cost you minutes.

Now the only problems I have with this phone are as follows:

1) While browsing, the phone doesn't have a keyboard option for typing. This is kind of irritating seeing as you can have a keyboard while texting.

2) For some odd reason, the background will reset itself. This, however, was close to my renewal date for my plan, so the events may be related.

3)There are only two installed themes, either cartoon or black. I don't know if its just me, but I have technical difficulties when trying to find more.

In short, this is a good, cheapo touchscreen. Its loud, its versatile, and its sturdy. I would highly recommend this phone to anyone thinking of going into Net10's unlimited plan.

I am extremely impressed with this phone! I can not afford, and never will be able to afford an iphone. This phone is what I imagine an iphone to be like. It goes on the web easily and quickly. Great responsive touch screen. It has a camera, which I find to be sufficient. It's an MP3 player--I transferred all my songs to it. Great sound quality, while making calls. This is my 1st "smart phone" and it is SUPER EASY to understand and use. Battery life has been great so far--I've had it for 3 weeks now, and have charged it two or three times. You can even download ebooks--although a very limited selection--that I have found anyways. I bought it for $25 at a black Friday Sale, but it is EASILY worth the $50 retail price. I'm even thinking on getting my 2 teenage kids each one for Christmas.

Absolutely adore this phone!!! Highly recommend it as a cheaper version of what I can only imagine an iphone to be! Buy this phone--you will love it, if you can't afford an iphone:)

I purchased this phone for use as a backup/spare phone, in case my fancy schmancy Android phone goes out of whack. For $35, it's not too shabby. It costs $50+ with shipping anywhere else, so this was a great deal on Amazon by shopcelldeals.

The touch screen is pretty sensitive, it doesn't require a lot of hard pressing unless you encounter a tiny object that needs a bit of accuracy. It uses a resistive touch screen, so it's not going to be comparable to a capacitive touch screen found on fancy touch screen phones, like Android phones and iPhone/iPod touch/iPads. I found it very surprising that the screen was so sensitive; from my previous experience with resistive touch screens, they require me to jam my thumb down on the screen to operate, but this phone had no trouble with the touch operation at all. Using the virtual QWERTY keyboard at first was a bit hard for me since I use an Android phone and an iPod touch 4G, but after getting used to the touch screen, it was easy to type.

The features on this phone are quite fulfilling. There are a few smartphone-esque features on this phone, such as a home screen with widgets, a lock screen (sort of), and apps/games capability. The web browser appears to be a full HTML browser; it's easy to navigate around the web, but there is no video streaming capability (YouTube). The music player is pretty good on this device, it scans for all the songs you downloaded to the phone/memory card, and compiles them into a list. The speaker is loud and clear, a lot louder than my Android phone (10/20 volume on this phone is louder than full volume on my Android phone), so this phone is great for anyone who likes to use their phone as a boombox/stereo.

The phone comes preloaded with 2 games, Container Block and Castle Defense. Container Block is quite entertaining, you have to find ways to move your container out of the area by moving other containers out of the way. I haven't played Castle Defense yet, but I'm sure it will be just as fun. You can download Java (J2ME) apps onto this phone, by either using the built-in web browser to download directly from app distribution sites, or transfer .jar files to your phone/memory card, then opening the file on the phone. You can use websites such as GetJar, MobileRated, etc. to get apps and games. The games won't be as fancy as smartphone games, but there are some classic games such as Tic Tac Toe, Tetris, and Pac-Man that you can play. I would recommend downloading Opera Mini so you can browse the web better, because the built-in web browser has a few issues with memory and doesn't have some of the features found in Opera Mini.

The camera will get the job done for occasional snapshots on-the-go. It's a 2 megapixel camera, so don't expect it to take SLR quality pictures or videos. It also doesn't have an LED flash light, which is understandable since this is a low-end phone. Like any other cameras built into phones, it is horrible under low-lighting conditions, so it's best to just stick to taking pictures under bright light. In order to use the digital zoom option for taking photos, you would have to tune the size down to VGA quality (640x480). The video it records are somewhat decent; again, do not expect it to be high quality. The camera has a few settings such as brightness control, white balance, color effect, timer, continuous shot mode, night mode, etc. so you can shoot photos and videos with a few preferences.

Now let's just get on with the miscellaneous stuff. The phone has common tools and utilities like calendar, alarm clock, calculator, tasks and memo pad, stop watch, world clock, voice recorder, and even a unit converter. There's two pages on the main menu, so be sure to swipe over to find the rest of the apps. The battery is a bit small, only holding 900mAh; it's not too bad since this isn't a fancy smartphone, it doesn't use as much power. The phone runs on AT&T towers, and their EDGE service (theoretical max speed is around 240Kbps, most people only get around half of that). I get 4 to 5 bars most of the time at my house, so if you have good AT&T reception at where you live, you're good to go. You can send and view MMS messages, so that's not a problem there. You can transfer contacts from another phone by either mashing them into a .vcf file, which is a feature found on most feature/smartphones; or you can transfer them to your phone via Bluetooth.

This is a good feature/semi-smart phone for someone upgrading from another feature phone, or using it for a spare phone. It will get the job done if it fits your need, but don't expect it to be comparable to true smartphones (Android, iOS, Windows Phone, etc.)

VideoSecu Indoor Outdoor Bullet Security Camera Built-in Sony CCD Weatherproof 3.6mm Wide View Angl

VideoSecu Indoor Outdoor Bullet Security Camera Sony CCD Weatherproof 3.6mm Wide View Angle Lens Camera for CCTV DVR Home Surveillance System 1CN

This video is a review of the CCD camera.

I ordered this camera to place out at the end of my driveway under a light pole. I didn't want one that had the integrated IR lamps since the motion capture function on the DVR picks up nothing but bugs flying in front of the camera that are interested in the IR lamps. This is a big problem in Florida. This camera fit the bill for my needs.

The item says it is weatherproof. I mounted it on an outdoor electrical box that is mounted on a 15 foot metal conduit that is pressed into the ground about 4 feet, which is easy to do in the Florida sand. The camera worked great for a few weeks, and then after the first good rain of our rainy season the camera started to fog up. The next day it rained some more, and this time there was visible water in the camera picture, and upon inspection in the front section in the camera against the lens window.

This caused it to stop working. Now since I had my mount set up for this particular camera, I just went and ordered another. Meanwhile I took apart this camera and found that the "weatherproof" claim isn't all that substantiated with the build quality. The camera unscrews in the middle, and that seam is covered with tape, the beige band you see in the picture of the product. Yes, there was a gasket further in the seam, but the water just sitting in there behind the tape was bound to get in, or at least cause it to fog up in the heat cold changes throughout the day.

So I took the camera completely apart and let it sit in some rice overnight to get the water out of it. The next day the camera was working again. Ok, good. But I didn't want to do this every time it rained so I put in some dessicant pellets that I had laying around (after cooking them in the oven for a while to dry them out completely first). This way if any water or humidity did get in, the dessicant would absorb it.

I decided that the camera wasn't really waterproof and ready to be put in the path of our daily Florida rains, so I ended up building a rounded cover like you would see on other "bullet" cameras that have IR LEDs on them. It covers the camera so the rain will just run off, and it also shields the front of the camera from the sun like a baseball cap.

So long story short, don't plan on sticking this camera somewhere that isn't under cover from the rain.

The picture quality is good, but there is a black band on the right side of the image that takes up about 5% of the screen, and this is present on the first and the second cameras that I bought of this type. The wide angle is also good without too much of that fisheye effect.

I bought 2 of these to replace the standard cameras that came with my CCTV system. The field of view on these is almost triple what I could see with the default cameras. The colors are sharp and it performs beautifully in low light (much better than the so-called "night-vision" cameras that came with my system). These made the difference in turning my CCTV system from just a toy to a useful security and monitoring system. With just 2 of these under the front eaves of my house I can view the front door, entire front yard, and driveway.

Night video leaving a gas station. Not too great quality wise but I guess if you were involved in an accident, I guess it would be better than nothing. As you can see in the video, unless you're close to light sources or other cars, you'll just get blobs of light, can't really tell what's what.

Pros:

*Suction cup mount for windshield holds pretty tight (better than my GPS mount, which would fall often), even tugging at it wouldn't budge it.

*The actual camera screws into the mount, like a digital camera does onto a mount.

*Once memory is full, it overwrites older data.

*Car charger cord is pretty long; I can probably run it through my headliner into the dash so its not in the way.

*3 recording options: 2 minutes/5 minutes/15 minutes

Cons:

*Not true HD on highest setting.

*Highest setting results in choppy recording\playback.

*Night time recording not very good, unless you're close to other cars or in well lit areas.

*Not too many options (Just video size, light frequency, audio record, timestamp).

*All video resolutions can't record little details such as license plate number, car make\model badging.

Overall, the camera is decent. Daytime is alright. You can't really see license plate numbers or signs during the day, even on the highest quality setting. Those little details get blurred out. Even when behind a vehicle at a stoplight, I found it hard to make out the license plate number from the LCD and video. Zooming in would further worsen the quality and made the license plate impossible to read.

The highest setting isn't true HD (everything is still blurred\pixelated, just a bigger picture size), and playback is slow while on the setting which makes it pretty useless. Every other second, you see the lag while it records, and it shows when you play it back.

Another issue is the lens; there is too much fisheye effect at times. It might be my placement, but I will try different configurations and edit the review as necessary. But in a nutshell, cars\bikes that have been dangerously close look like they're much farther away.

The microphone is a bit sensitive; it catches many noises as you can hear in the video. The video is with the windows up, and with the A/C on low setting. Much worse with the windows down. I don't think it can record a conversation without being obscured by background noises very well.

The seller I got the camera from included an SD card reader with my order. It did not work very well on my laptop (Windows 7) but it worked better on my XP. I instead, plugged in the camera through the USB to my Windows 7 laptop and was able to view\upload videos from the SD card that way without hassling with the SD card reader.

Overall, its a neat little gadget. Its not the best, but the quality for daytime recording is acceptable. I plan to keep it and use it daily until I can find a suitable replacement.

i took a chance on this camera, both based on the reviews and the fact that i have other chinese security cameras that work well. first let me say, all of these chinese cameras have horrible directions. they are often wrong and hard to read, so you basically have to figure it out yourself. however, after i got the camera set up, the video is pretty good. it gets a little choppy at times but i like the camera and may buy another. you can also set the mode to be a camera, up to 15 mega pixels and it will take still photos. the camera says it has audio with a built in microphone, i tinkered with this only a few minutes then decided to turn off the audio. i couldnt hear anything in my test videos, so the audio may or may not work. i have only had the camera a day so i will update my review if i find any issues. here are some helpful tips for you to set up the camera:

1) first, change the language to english, it is in chinese by default. hit the buttons in this order:

menu > mode > down > down > menu > then up/down to find english. hit the menu to save.

2) the mode button switches between video, picture and playback.

3) also, the resolution in the manual is wrong. the camera lets you pick vga, qvga and sxga resolution, in that order. one would think that vga is the best or least, and then qvga is the middle. however, upon my testing, here is how i believe the order is, and their resolutions:

qvga 320x240, smallest and less choppy

vga 640x480, medium and more choppy

sxga 1280x1024, highest and very choppy

i have my camera set to qvga and the videos seem small but very watchable to me.

Want HD 720P 2.5-inch LCD Monitor CAR Dash Dashboard CAMERA Cam VEHICLE VIDEO Accident RECORDER DVR Supp Discount?

Video & Audio Quality is pretty decent. However, the unit stopped working after 4 months. One day, I noticed smoke coming out of the case, touched the camera and it was very hot, that was the end of the camera. Cheap electronics.

I got my camera today, i was very excided, but when i open the box, i knew this was a return item, some of the cables were not inside the plastic bag, the suction cup was dirty and the camera had some marks outside. When i turn on the camera the menu was in chinese, Them i try to go thru the menu and see if i could change it to english but the rec/snap button didn't work and the down button either. Of course i can't say this is a crappy product 100% because the image on the screen look good, and the accessories looks good too, but the camera itself is crappy. The price said it all, but it does what it supposed to do. Maybe if the product were brand new i wouldn't have any problem. I already print a return label to send it back, i don't if i would get the same camera again.

This is a good option if you don't want seprate componet and optical

Canon DC310 DVD Camcorder with 37x Optical Zoom

The overview states that this includes 'USB 2.0 hi-speed terminal for quick video transfer'. Read the detail section and there is no mention of a USB port, because there is none! You need to buy the DC330 to get that feature. That would not be so bad if the RRW would work in any of our PC's or DVD players. Granted the DVD players are older modules but the PC's are less than 1 year old. Maybe if your PC writes to Ror you stick with none rewritable DVD's you would be happy with this camcorder (didn't waste any more money trying this). This module is being returned and replaced with the DC330.

I bought this camera for our family summer vacation. My old digital camera did not zoom close enough to anything. I was looking for a camcorder that was small in size that could get close up & that is exactly what I got. I have found it to be easy to use in every way and it is small enough to fit in just about any normal size bag.

Canon DC310 DVD Camcorder with 41x Optical Zoom

We purchased this camcorder after looking at reviews in various places, in particular, one well known consumer product magazine. Since we wanted something basic, but a camcorder that would give us very good quality images, we counted on the Canon. It is easy to learn to use if you are a novice like we are, and is adequate for home videos. Taking into account the savings extras from Amazon, we purchased it at the lowest price that we researched on the internet, and at local electronics retailers. We highly suggest purchasing an extra battery, and the battery charger (stick with the Canon brand or you can be burned with the cheaper "replacement" claiming to be as good). Amazon shipped it in two days at no extra charge....a "special" at the time. We purchase from Amazon often because of their excellent customer service.

Pros:-

1) Price is cheap for a DVD camcorder

2) Outdoor video quality

3) optical zoom

Cons:-

1) The menu is very confusing.

2) You cannot finalize unless you connect the camera to power adapter. You will not know it unless you read the manual carefully

3) You cannot charge the camera if the power button is turned on. So assume that you are using the camera and it goes off because of no charge. You connect it to the power adapter, it will not charge...it is because the power button is still turned on. I had this issue and had a hard time finding the cause. I even sent my camera to canon repair and it got returned back saying I need to keep the power button off while charging and otherwise it will not charge.

4) Finally, there is a lot of problem with finalizing the disc. The finalize menu item will not show up while in record mode. That is fine. But I recorded my disc in VR mode and now I see Finalize menu item but it is not selectable..not sure why. I am not able to finalize my disc and can't play it in dvd player. When I see the content of the DVD, it has files in VRO format. To convert it to DVD format, I need a software now which will cost me. And that's when I decided to write this review.

I reviewed the Consumer's Report 2009 regarding dvd camcorders and this model rated one of the highest. I am thrilled to concur with the Report. I wanted something simple to use which provided a good image at a good value. This seems to meet all three. The vendor I used shipped it within 4-5 days (Sixth Avenue Electronics -6ave). Overall great experience. NOTE: Read the manual if you don't finalize the discs properly you may loose all of the recordings.

Livescribe Paper Tablet Smartpen Application (PAP-00004-AMZ)

This is a neat application that allows me to use my Livescribe Echo Smartpen to mark up documents online. I have used this app specifically in MS Word.

Once I redeemed the code and downloaded the app to the Echo pen, I then wrote a line in my notebook, and above it I wrote tablet. Or I could have the navigation within my notebook to locate the Tablet app. I then turned the notebook to the orientation portrait or landscape of my choosing (I tested the app using both), then I drew a line in the direction I wanted to the app to recognize. I then opened MS Word, Excel, or PowerPoint.

This is where it got a little tricky for me. On the MS Word ribbon, under Review, there should be a tab that says "START INKING"...on my Word version I didn't see it. I had to do some additional research. The Tablet app only works with versions of MS Office on Windows Vista/7 I had to do a search on Google, I had to enable inking through Windows. It's a process of going through my control panel and turning on the tablet properties. Once this was done and I rebooted my computer, and the "start inking" tab appeared.

Although it wasn't easy, I could also use the pen as a mouse. I tested in Word and I was able to sign my name to the document with ease. There is also a nice vid on YouTube I watched that explained how to use the tablet app.

Pros: no extra hardware required, works as described

Cons: wastes note paper, low accuracy, difficult to write with USB cable plugged in

I have mentioned this application in my review of the Livescribe Echo pen, but I will repeat it here. The application does do what it claims to do it lets you control the mouse pointer with your Livescribe pen, as if it was a computer stylus. There are, however, a number of drawbacks, which I will describe below. One more thing to mention before I get to that, is that this is also available as a digital download on Livescribe Store, which is where I got my copy.

One it is very difficult to make notepad dimensions match the screen, the notepad will inevitably be smaller, resulting in much larger "strokes" being reflected on the screen. It's fine for some crude sketching, but I was trying to use this to "train" Windows to recognize my handwriting and it was very challenging to write within the provided input window.

Another big issue is that the pen still writes on the Livescribe paper making a mess of scribbles and wasting the costly notepad space (it's impossible to stay within lines and keep drawings pretty on the page too, because of the issue described above). This one, however, has workaround you can either purchase a special "stylus cartridge" for your Livescribe pen, or use a spent, empty cartridge instead. I've done the latter and it worked like a charm.

Another small but annoying caveat, and I'm not sure if this is addressed with the new WiFi pens, is in the fact that this requires a USB cable to be connected to your pen, and most of them are rather thick and heavy, making it hard to handle the pen while it's attached to the computer.

I recently had a mild stroke and was left with difficulty writing with my right hand. This pen came into my life at just the right time. I can go to a meeting or training and make notes during the meeting without worrying that the speaker is getting ahead of me. Sometimes I just draw a symbol to mark the recording so I can find the exact part of the meeting. I wish I had had one in my college days. It would have made studying a lot easier.

Polaroid ID820-WHITE-OD-2 Ultra Thin Digital Video Recorder (Pearl White)

The best thing about this camera is the small size, it's about as big as a cell phone, so it is easy to take anywhere. We took it to Disney and overall the footage was ok. Because of the very small lens it suffered in low light situations, getting very grainy, and having trouble focusing. But outside it was great.

Image stabilization was not the best (had a sony handy cam before which was great in this aspect), so you had to try and hold still and not pan much to get the best quality video. Once we figured out how to work with it we got some great footage.

There is only a digital zoom (120x) which is pretty useless, quality goes way down, but we did discover that if you had a lot of things in frame if you zoomed in on the key item, and let the camera adjust, then zoom back out, the overall captured footage was better.

As a simple point and shoot digital camera under 200 bucks it's pretty good.

It was just what I wanted. Small easy to use video camera that fits in your pocket. A great product.

Motorola V220 Unlocked Cell Phone--U.S. Version with Warranty (Silver)

It is a light weight handy phone. The camara works very well. There are several useful additional features in the phone. The only problem I encountered is, since it is a triband and is supposed to be carried to other countries where there are varient power supply, it should have a universal charger with it. The one that comes with the phone works only in 110V power outlet.

I bought this phone beause I didn't want to swtich my current service.

This is a great, easy to use phone. It is perfect for someone who's looking for something easy to work with, it has a simple and in detail user's guide, the battery has a long life span, and it has a good size screen.

I read many negative reviews on this phone on various webpages but I still decided to buy it. I have no regrets. A lot of people said this phone has a bad camera quaility. From the pictures I've taken I see no worse quality in this camera phone than any other. A lot of other flip phones have a longer display screen inside which tends to strech the picture. This phone is a perfect screen size that keeps the picture to the right dementions.

The caller ID is simple and shows on the outside of the phone when someone is calling. You can set your option to show a picture and where you have to open the phone to answer it.

The speaker phone is another good feature on this phone. It is very loud and clear and is perfect for when you are driving or need your hands free.

I've already dropped this phone and acidentally smashed it underneathe my chair. There are no sratches on it and its still in perfectly good working condition. A lot of people said this phone was like a toy as was fragile. I don't understand how it can be fragile if I can put a metal chair on top of it; unless the person that said that was throwing this at the wall repeatly or beating it with a baseball bat I see no problems with it.

Over all I give this phone a 5 star rating. I've had no problems with it and it is well worth the money you are paying for.

I had this phone for over 2 years, the phone worked great until it died recently. However, I used a belt holster and although it did get dropped a few times, it wasn't very often. I thought the camera worked great, the address book had over 500 numbers in it when I last backed it up. I couldn't ask that it did much more. I presume the others that rated it poorly had more rugged use of the phone, but I used it every day for business. The talk time was very long compared to most of the newer phones. I would talk on average 2-3 hours per day on the phone, and I only charged it every other day or so. It is small and lightweight and fits nicely in the hand whether you are a man or a woman.

I payed extra money for this phone when I got a new plan, and I've been regrettig it ever since.

First and foremost, the reception is lack-luster at best. I'm in the Los Angeles area and this phone drops calls left and right. I will be standing next to someone with the same service, and they'll have 2 more bars than I do.

Also, I take good enough care of my phones, the occassional drop, but I do treat them well. After a year, my camera stopped working for no apparent reason. No drop or major trauma induced this. Now, and 1.5 years, my screen is glitching or turning off and it is a constant annoyance. and I'm not the only one. of the handful of friends that also have this same phone, they *all* complain of the same problems.

I dislike giving harsh reviews, but I am just so dissatisfied with this phone that I hate thinking that other people would still buy it. There are better phones at better prices. Do not waste your money on this one.

If you want a phone with camera because you actually plan to use the camera this phone is not it, it's rare to get a clear image w/it! It's compact and that's nice for purses and junk. You can find many accessories for it, and if you like musictones they sound great on this phone! I have never had any problems w/reception. I think that the best thing about it is that it is durable. I have dropped it too many times to count on cement and tile, and I didn't break any part of the phone or camera. Seriously though, had it not come free w/my plan I would have NEVER gotten it. It's really not worth paying for.
