I've had this player three weeks and IT ROCKS! It was a replacement for my Awia DDW5 player, which was a replacement for my Panasonic PDV-L55 player. The picture is simply BREATH TAKING ! This player has more features on it than any other I've had a chance to test. As with ALL portable DVD players the speakers are limited due to their size,BUT they get the job done. If you want more sound,get yourself a pair of portable active speakers and your set! The battery life is good,(about 3hrs.10mins.) on my player, which is plenty for a movie. Screen brightness,and sharpness is about the best I've seen. Until I find a better portable dvd player out there,PLEASE KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF MY TOSHIBA 8" PORTABLE DVD PLAYER!!!!! | 45 stars

The tubes connect/disconnect fine with my Canon 5d mkiii, but any jostling of the lens will break the electrical connection and require a camera restart. This isn't too big a deal and the camer is usually on tripod (and still) for macro photography. | 23 stars

I bought a 20 gig iPod about two years ago and use it mainly for commuting on busses/metro/walking/airplanes. I also do some jogging. I have tried at least five different headphones ranging from the original ear buds that came with my iPod (which wore out rather quickly) to Phillips, Sony, et cetera. I never spent more than $50 as I don't think headphones that I will abuse should cost any more than that, if that.These are by far and away THE BEST I have bought.Reasons I love them:1. They don't have that silly behind-the-head-one-side-of-the-cord-three-times-as-long-as-the-other-getting-tangled-constantly-looking-stupid cords like so many earbuds do nowadays.I like normal headphones. I don't need any tricks to how you wear them, thank you. I don't want to have to read instructions on how to put them on nor do I want to practice in the mirror until I get it right. These, mercifully, are normal headphones. If you have ever worn ear plugs (or not) you will have no trouble fitting them into you ears. Even if nature has decided that you, like me, are to be cursed with two completely different ears that are not completely identical down to the micrometer, these will still fit great and be so confortable and light as to not really know you are wearing them.2. They stay in one place.I have gotten great arm excercise in my constant re-adjustment of every d**n pair of headphones I have tried. With every step the sound changed because the headphones shifted. I walk around looking like someone trying to get a spiderweb off their head because I can never get consistent sound from headphones that won't stay where I put them. Not so with these. I put them in my head and they stay where I put them. No matter how much I run, or sweat, or fall down, or try unsuccessfully to do a cartwheel on the sidewalk for no apparent reason, they stay in and everything sounds great.3. Great bass without feeling like I am listing to music with my head buried under a pillow or suddenly found myself underwater without noticing.I have had my iPod's EQ set to Bass Booster for months because everything sounded tinny with earbuds, or Bass Reducer because with in ear phones everything sounded muffled. With these, I can set the EQ to rock (because I do, and that's the music that appeals to me) and the bass punches and pops, and the highs sting and are sharp, and the harmony, rare as it is, gives me goosebumps. I can hear everything.One note: I did find that I get the best sound when the cord is pointed straight down, but it is good even if you are goofy and like the cord pointing towards your mouth or the top of your head (I actually tried this to see what it would look like to the other people on the metro).4. They are cheap!!!Ten bucks, people. You can't beat that. And these are far, and I mean FAR better than in-ear headphones I spent four times as much on.If you don't like these headphones, I will swear off angry, high school metal for the next three or four days. I swear it. That's my guarantee. And I don't even know how to spell guarentee.Love,- P | 45 stars

I've purchased 2 of these from Amazon and I was very pleased with the first one that I bought last year and the second one which I recently bought. I've used the cheap headphones before that sound tinny but the sound quality on this is full, clear, understandable and very enjoyable. What I also like is the signal isn't lost when I turn the unit off and then back on. My cheap one's always had to be re-tuned so that was a headache. These do shut off if there's no sound, but they'll always start back up when there is sound. That's only a minor annoyance for me because I only use it for TV. | 45 stars

I received the cable today and discovered that there's no connector for the old Xbox, in spite of the product description. It actually has connectors for the Xbox 360, Wii, and PS 2/3. I'm extremely disappointed. | 01 star

This backup camera works but not nearly as well as others that I have used. I'm using mine with the optional direct video/power cable which gives a much better video signal than wireless but still isn't very good. The bluetooth in my vehicle causes significant interference with this unit so I have to turn off the bluetooth when using the backup camera. However, even with the bluetooth turned off I still get some interference. The backup camera in my Tundra (not the same make or model as this unit) works perfectly every time without any signal interference. I wouldn't recommend this unit to anyone nor would I purchase another one. I'm stuck with it now so I'll use it until it breaks. | 12 stars

KOSS KTXPRO1 Titanium-I put personal stereo gear to the test, constantly at work (mowing hundreds of acres of lawns). I've got an "audiophile" ear so, just because I'm mowin' doesn't mean I'm careless about quality or fidelity!!SOUND QUALITY:Flat frequency response!-Good low end, flat-not "boomey".-Midrange clarity- not overly detailed,-Defined highs-clear not "edgy".CONSTRUCTION:Durable, comfortable headband,Easy to clean,Replacement ear pads easily available.Superior buy for a mere $18.00. Rivals headsets costing much more!-Wish all other audio gear was this good!Buy it from AMAZON-How can you go wrong??? | 45 stars

It works as it should. The build quality is nice and heavy. It doesn't feel cheap at all. Goes to any resolution your hardware can. I highly recommend it to anyone needing short vga cable. I'm using this as my cable to my big TV. I have an in-wall vga port behind my TV. This connects that port to the TV. The cable doesn't limit resolution at all. | 45 stars

At $99 for a 100 spindle it may not be the best price BUT get this; They burn at 8x flawlessly for me using a generic 8X dvd burner meaning that it will work with plextor, optorite, kypermedia, lite on, and most others at 8x, they are amazing for printing on with my epson r300, with no smudging.They are identified as RICOHJPNR01, which as you know is as good as it gets.Instead of buying something cheap, with only a 2 year archival life, I would rather spend the extra 10-20 bucks to get a FAR superior product such as this. | 45 stars

This item lasted about a week before the screen over one earbud fell off. A couple weeks after that, most of the paint marking the left and right earbuds had already flaked off. These are what you pay for - cheap headphones, cheap quality. Steer clear. | 01 star

purchased the Magellan explorist XL in Feb. '07. Since then I've been absolutely disappointed. At the time I was running Windows XP Pro at home and loved the GPS USB cord and being able to upload my tracks into Google Earth. Unfortunately I upgraded to Windows Vista Enterprise due to necessity. I have made numerous calls to Magellan about the fact that the GPS isn't compatible with Vista and have always gotten the same non-committal response. "We'll have drivers in about 2 months." I call back every two months and get told the same thing by the outsourced, barely understandable customer service. I mean, how hard is it to put together a USB driver? It's not! It's now almost 7 months since Vista was retail released. This unit is wonderful if you are using an OS other than Vista or if you don't mind the constant swapping of a SD Card between the GPS and your computer. If you only use Vista, save yourself the hassle and look for another manufacturer. | 12 stars

This is a great HDTV for the price. It's only bested by the high end Pioneer Elite plasma but the Pioneer 1080p model so far only comes in 50" and it's $7,000! In other words, for the price of this Sony, it compares favorably to a TV that is over 3 times as much money.One of the great benefits of the Sony SXRDs is that the internal display structure is very smooth so you can actually sit closer to them than with other TVs such as plasmas without having to worry about noticing the actual pixels. That said, I sit about 8 feet away from this TV (Sony recommends minimum 7ft for this model) and movies look wonderful, just like I'm in a movie theater if not better! You can sit further back and it will still look great. You can also sit closer if you want and with a good HD source, you won't even notice any pixels. That said, I would say if you can't sit at least 7ft-8ft away normally, I would opt for the 55" instead. 8ft on the 60" is right at the Society of Motion Picture and Television reference sweet spot viewing distance for 1080p. You could also be further away but I wouldn't want to be much closer.I'm very picky and meticulous about picture quality. I'm only giving this Sony 4 stars because it does tend to lean towards a green tint which is a bit annoying. I was able to easily and completely eliminate this by adjusting the white balance green settings down about -7 and boosting the blue up about +3. If you are willing to play around with the numerous settings (start with the settings another reviewer has posted as they are a good starting point), you can achieve a very great looking display. Also keep in mind that there is about a 100 hour break in period for this TV before it starts looking optimal.I like the fact that this TV uses a bulb. Plasma TVs wear out too but don't have a replaceable bulb, so you have to just throw away the TV when it wears out. With the Sony SXRD, you simply replace the bulb after a few to several years when it burns out and then it's like you have a brand new TV again.The TV really shines when displaying true high definition signals or HD-DVD or Blue-ray discs. Standard definition looks fine too, totally watchable on this TV, although of course it's not nearly as good as HD, which is exceptional. HDTV on this TV is like eye candy, so crisp and great!I'm in an area where I get great TV reception over the air. I bought a Terk HDTV indoor antenna (like rabbit ears) and it works great with the ATSC tuner in the Sony XSRD. I was pleasantly surprised that now in addition to all my local channels in HD, I also gained several additional digital channels that I could not receive before going HD.I also of course still get the standard definition channels as well.But I watch mostly movies and my system at home now is literally better than going to the movie theater! I'm quite blown away by this TV, even despite the fact that it leans towards green, the fact that I was able to adjust this out makes it ok. For the price, I don't think you could find a better TV. | 34 stars

I have only charged/discharged this battery 4-5 times and it's already toast. After it's fully charged, the camera says it's dead. The canon battery still works like a charm. | 01 star

I bought these a couple of years ago for my home office and I've enjoyed them. I never felt like the mid ranges were crisp and clear enough, but by and large I thought they were very competent speakers for the money. And I still do.but I decided to move these to my business office where I didn't have external speakers and occasionally (but less frequently) wish I did, so I wanted to buy speakers to replace these at home. I researched and ended up getting the M-Audio AV-40s.The AV-40s are MUCH better speakers than these Z-2300s. Plain and simple. Cleaner bass, much fuller mid ranges, tight highs. For the money these AV-40s are great speakers and are FAR superior to the Z-2300s.You can get the Logitech's for less than $100 at some places and if that's your price point, get them and you'll enjoy them. But if you can afford just a little more, get the AV-40s. Your ears will thank you. | 23 stars

I have over 5,000 45's and 500 albums. I recorded an entire decade of music to MP3 using my old turntable and preamp connected to the sound card. Why I thought this product would be better I have no idea.The turntable is made from poorly constructed plastic parts. I have to disconnect the USB whenever I'm not using it because you can either have the turntable connected or listen to your sound card, not both. (not easily anyway). I cannot listen to the records unless I'm actually recording the music.Worse is the design. Why is there an on/off switch AND a start/stop switch??? This is completely redundant. Why are the controls at the BACK of the turntable where they are hard to reach?!? The arm does not automatically return at the end of the record.I can show you a Winnie the Pooh turntable that works better then this thing. Plus if the Winnie the Pooh turntable drops it won't shatter into a million pieces.Please take my advice and get a normal stereo turntable and a preamp. Hook the preamp to the line in on your computer. Download free Audacity software to record. I wasted my money on this. | 01 star

This is exactly what I expected. It throws useful light up to 5 or 6 feet. It's not a very wide beam but puts plenty of light on things right in front of it. It seems to cut the battery life in half. Well made and good for the money. | 34 stars

This sound card is still worth the money. If you have a sweet surround system, and quality speakers, this card will crank out the gold. | 45 stars

Fantastic!! It works well with my ps2 set up, and there is enough cord to place the system anywhere. Great quality feel!! | 45 stars

This is a great camera. Plenty of resolution. Excellent shot speed. Sturdy frame. The kit lense doesn't do the camera justice. Buy the body separate and add a better lense.On the bad side, I had a small glitch with the camera's firmware soon after purchase and had to return it for a fix. It was two months before the camera was returned. Sorry, Canon... you lose a star for that. | 34 stars

When you spend nearly 300 clams on your new iPod, you want to protect the plastic surface from scratches. This clip exposes the surface and in particular, the screen, to a multitude of hazards and scratches as the entire faade is exposed while this is clipped to your hip. The plastic clip is sturdy and strong and it firmly grips your iPod. The design is minimalistic like the elegance of the iPod itself, but this far from an ideal design when it comes to protecting your investment. At the very least, it should have come with a screen protector. | 23 stars

I have replaced this product 4 times in one year. It is only a matter of time before one speaker stops working. This product looks and works great when it works but the quality is the worst I have ever seen. It starts shorting at the connection point to your device within 2-3 months of purchase. I do not recommned this product to anyone.The company must know about it but they have not made any attempts to fix their problem. | 01 star

I own a Dell Studio XPS 435t, and It wasn't until the first brown out (not even lights out) that I discovered I had a unique power supply on this computer. She shut off immediately! What! the lights just flickered?After two more experiences, and several calls to Dell and APC, I discovered essentially that this thing has to have a clean and uninterrupted power (non stepped Sine wave) source. Unfortunately, my system crashed because it was performing a critical update during one of the outages, and even with the APC (RS 1300) unit that I had on it, out she went.In comes the "Smart power".Where the 750XL may have been geared for small business etc. This type of back up is essential and well worth the investment, if you have a similar computer, or server, and critical power is necessary at all times. While I don't need the extra electronics that you can purchase separately for the unit, the optional battery add on (several if need be) is very nice for expandability.Even with the load I run with my peripherals, I still have approximately 90 minutes of run time with a single battery! | 45 stars

This may be a great cable, I don't know, because I ordered it from UnitedIntegral and received a M/F cable from another manufacturer instead. They refunded my money, but did not send me the correct cable, saying it was a "listing error". Seeing that this product is still listed as being for sale from this vendor, I'd be cautious about purchasing it from them. | 01 star

Got this mouse at a great price after trying to get Logitech that sold out. The mouse was well made and worked through a radio transmitter and not infrared. I can hide the receiver behind a desk and not worry about keeping a line of sight open between the mouse and the receiver. It comes with no software and a skimpy instruction sheet. The receiver uses power from the USB port. The weak link and the show stopper is the mouse power supply. Initially, the batteries that came with the unit lasted about 2 -3 weeks. I installed Energizers and now I'm changing batteries every week!! Saying it's a battery eater is an understatement! It had a power save feature. The mouse goes to sleep after a few minutes and even has a very tiny On/Off switch. These features didn't help at all in extending battery life. I highly recommend getting a rechargeable mouse that charges the battery during computer down time like Logitech. This mouse looks great and feels nice but what good is it if I'm changing batteries every few days. Definitely not environmentally friendly!!!!! | 01 star

If you're the kind of user who can always carry the (included) carrying case, then my comment will be irrelevant; enjoy the earphones, as they're as good as EX71.However, I usually keep my earphones wrapped around my iPod, and unless you are super careful, the over-the ear hooks make it susceptible to tangles. The same hooks also make it cumbersome to untangle.Also, the hooks make it a bit annoying to use the earphones while I use my sunglasses or my eyeglasses. It's doable, but it tends to push the earphones out of my ears.Finally, the white color goes well with the white iPod models, but after a few months, they tend to show the grime all too well.My advice: I don't think that any (claimed) audio improvement over EX-71 is worth the extra hassle. If your heart is set on this model, get the black one. | 12 stars

There is no physical write protection switch, so when the drive randomly decides to make itself write protected, it's completely useless. You can't format it, add, delete or modify files once it is in this state. Complete garbage. | 01 star

The red color shown is not accurate - it is more a peachy-pink. I exchanged it for the black one, which also isn't really black; it has a kind of brownish tone. | 12 stars

This product worked perfectly for about one month. After that we could not use it due to it never turning on or off. Once it was powered up the display would read 'LOADING', after that you could'nt even turn it off without unplugging it. A real lemon! | 01 star

I stopped in my local Best Buy store and inquired a bunch about EVERY different hard drive based MP3 player that they had. The good reason to get an iPod was for very smooth synching with computer to iPod. Phillips because it was a little cheaper than the ipod with the same features, except can't play video. But they did point out the Creative Zen Vision: M because it had the same features as the iPod: video, pictures, etc. But it also has a built in FM tuner for the same price as the iPod. Plus when i tried it out, the software is very easy to use and quite fast. Definately look into this! | 45 stars

Worked perfectly to get a lot of power cords organized on our rack. Solid mounting. No surge protection, but we plug it straight into our UPS and works great. | 45 stars

I've had these for 6 years through 3 moves (2 being across the continent). I've probably used them 4-5 times a week since I bought them oh so many years ago. Every time I think I might have broken these things they come out unscathed.For example, the other night I had marital relations in my car with a girl I just met and I accidentally dropped the passengers seat down and it landed on them, I didn't realize this until after I was done having sex, which the headphones received the brunt of from the seat being pressed against them. I plug them in today and the sound is just and sharp, vivid and clear as the day I bought them. In fact, the sound is so incredible despite my lack of care for the headphones that I was inspired to write this review (and I never write reviews) explaining how truly amazing this product is. Hell, I want to buy another just because I'm so appreciative of how durable they are. No lie. I seriously almost bought another pair just now.PRO: This is the best product I've ever owned.CON: I can't justify buying a new pair because these things are rock solid. | 45 stars

We just received this product and the night vision does not work and the picture is only in black and white, not color as promised. Very dissapointed.UPDATE:I contacted MOBI directly and they had the absolute worst customer service I have ever experienced. I will never, ever do business with them. Thankfully, Amazon was great and made it simple to return the monitor and they issued a complete refund immediately. Please do not do business with MOBI. I wish I could give zero stars but one is the lowest option. Pitiful product and CS. | 01 star

Satisfied with the price I paid and the time frame delivered. (BUT) product was NOT NEW. Only 49 discs were in the package. Four of the discs separated throughout the spindle were cracked and one was scratched up all over the disc. These were located throught the middle of the spindle. None of them were next to each other.I therefore received a total of 44 usable discs. | 23 stars

Don't be fooled by Samsung's reputation - those days are gone. I have been using 152T for more than 2 years and it was excellent. But this model, in particular, is full of problems. I bought one, and had to send it back for replacement (twice), yet each replacement comes with new defects (unbalanced brightness, noisy panel etc). Imagine: 3 defective units in a row (all brand new), does that give you any idea about its manufacturing quality? I ended up with a refurbished unit from Samsung, which is mediocre in quality (the panel is *not* as clear and as bright as a new unit).If you want to take the risk, go ahead. But I wouldn't recommend it. | 01 star

I am a wildlife photographer in South Africa and I briefly owned both the Nikon and Canon versions of this lens. I used the lens on a Nikon F100 body and found that it did not autofocus properly, due to presumably software conflict between the lens and the body. I swopped it for the Canon version, but it had the same problem when used with the EOS 3. The Nikon version did not autofocus with the Sigma 1.4 and 2.0 APO extenders. The Canon version did focus with the Sigma 1.4 extender, but not with the 2.0. THe lens has exceptionally good optics, and resolution, contrast and colour saturation is excellent. The build-quality is not bad, but not up to the same standard as the equivalent Canon lens. The large tripod mount is very handy, and the lens is very well balanced when used on a tripod. THe lens is very well priced, but unless Sigma ensures that it functions perfectly with the latest top end Canon and Nikon SLR's, it will not be an option for pro's or serious amateurs. | 23 stars

My first Superadio III was purchased in late 1993 (...) The FM sensitivity was great as I could pick up weaker stations from Cookeville and Livingston, Tennesssee from my house in Murfreesboro (80 to 95 miles). The same could be said in the other direction Huntsville Alabama and Chattanooga. On AM, I received Louisville, KY and Memphis, Tennessee in the daytime (200+ miles) and Cincinnati, Chicago, Des Moines, Detroit, and New York City by night. Sound quality was VERY GOOD and tuning was generally accurate for an analog dial.Earlier in 2004, I bought a second one. (...) No substantial changes from appearance or sound performance are noted. However, tuning distant stations seems a bit more difficult with the newer radio. Also, tuning contains more inaccuracies on AM. Furthermore, plastic knobs seem more flimsy which means they must be treated with extra care to avoid breakage and premature wear.Both radios are manufactured in China, so it is possible they may have come from the same factory. My eleven year old GE Superadio III, in my judgment, has the better overall quality.Verdict: if a no-frills radio (e.g. no dial light, digital presets, or shortwave) is what you desire, look no further. It is the best value around and produces excellent sound. If one is particular about dial tuning and cabinet durability, examine carefully and buy from a store that has a good return policy as an exchange may be required to get a accurate tuning dial. If a high end radio is what you desire and need, consider a CC Radio or a Bose Wave Radio (about $169 and $349, respectively) over the Superadio III. | 23 stars

I received a fake/knockoff item even though the official Microsoft item was shown and described.I already have one official Microsoft play and charge kit, but I needed one for an additional controller. I ordered the item sold from Bluemall(through Amazon's product page) for $9.99, and I received a cheap Chinese knockoff. I cannot measure the battery's capacity, but it is less than half of the weight of the official Microsoft battery.I guess finding one of these brand new for under ten dollars really is too good to be true. | 01 star

WMP will sync only the songs if you sync MANUALLY, but if you use WMP's AUTOMATIC syncing, then the playlists themselves (as well as the songs) get put onto the device (note that WMP still doesn't SHOW that the playlists are on the device, but they are definitely there and can be used). | 45 stars

I have two of these drives They are both stable and cool to the touch. They work well with USB 2.0 but do not work with firewire. Both loose connectivity after a few hours and will not come back until you cycle power on the drives. The FW800 interface is very fast when it works but I'm afraid it will damage my data. THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH XP & SERVICE PACK 2 NOT MAXTOR. A hot fix is available from Microsoft but it did not work for me. I gave it a three based soley on the Microsoft issue not the drive. | 23 stars

Quick, Easy, Reliable, and sounds good too. I've never had a problem with this. I originally had a Belkin one but it was a bad fit for my car and several others (hard plastic allows no flexibility). If I were to buy another iPod adapter I would buy this one again. I tried to go cheap the first time and it was a waste of money. | 45 stars

Apple was aiming to produce an elegant, tiny personal digital music player with only one standout feature (shuffle play) and they succeeded almost perfectly. It's amazingly compact and lightweight, simple to use, and hassle-free except as noted below. Battery life is excellent. The i-Tunes software that comes with it is the state of the art in flexibility, functionality, and ease.There's no compelling reason not to buy this, but here are a few cavils to consider:* The on-off switch needs a groove, notch, bump, or something to make it easier to grip. I have to squeeze the unit to get traction on the on-off switch. Annoying.* After powering it on, I almost always have to press the play button twice before it decides to play. Why?* In my experience, this requires USB 2.0 on the PC platform, and I get uneven results on the five different USB 2.0 ports I've tried. On some, the performance is great. On others, it is very slow. I have never gotten a USB 1.x port to see this device.* The headphones are uncomfortable and prone to falling out. Inside-the-ear headphones are not a one-size-fits-all item, because one size does not fit all. Chances are good you'll be purchasing replacement headphones, as I did.* For how much is Apple going to gouge me when I need a replacement battery? (Begs question: is this actually made to last? Begs further question: is anything made to last any more?)* I wish they would produce this in other colors. I could see it in black especially. Someday, man may yet learn to dye plastic.Cavils aside, if you're looking for a simple, no-nonsense personal digital music player, this is a great choice. | 34 stars

I bought this case for my Beretta 9mm PX4 Storm. I have only one complaint with the product, the handle is a hard plastic that feels like it might break easily. The rest of the product is good. It fits my Beretta and two clips (one in the gun and one in the case) along with a small amount of ammo. The locks seem to work but I haven't tried hard to open it while locked. Overall I am satisfied with the case and it is what I expected. | 34 stars

You can spend a lot more, but personally, I only would for a good pair of binoculars (probably image-stabilized). If you want the light weight and pocket-carried convenience of a monocular, this one is a great buy, at less than $10. The 25mm objective is fine for good light (e.g., daytime birdwatching), and the 10-power magnification is about as high as you can go for handheld viewing without image stabilization. The optical quality is quite fine. The eyepiece cushion is good for the "naked" eye, and can be folded back for good use over glasses or sunglasses. A very nice unit at a very low price. | 34 stars

If you are looking for a great digital camera you cannot go wrong with the G2. The camera is as easy to use as the most basic point and shoot models, but with every manual control you need to get the most out of photography. Picture quality is excellent, and with the raw mode even greater detail is available. A larger cf card will be a wise investment, unless you want to hunt down photo shops to burn cds for you while on your vacation. I bought a 256mb Viking card. It comes with a great bundle, 32mb cf card, remote control, easy to use manual, along with all of the requisite cables. The software is also easy to learn how to use. Very high quality construction throughout(the switches on the G3 seem to have gone backwards in quality). | 45 stars

I will not write to much since this printer is discontinued. I had this printer for 4 years now and have to admit it still prints larger photos better than most current printer. It has never failed me since I had it. I just bought a Canon MX850. I use both but will go to mu HP for larger portrait prints. If you can find one for cheap I would suggest you get it. I paid $200 when I bought mine. | 45 stars

I'll keep it short and sweet.Installation was pretty simple.I bought it to install it in bathroom\ shower area. Running it with the B speaker output on my Sony receiver that claims 100 watts a channel.The sound is a tad on the muddy side but it has pretty decent bass response for an in-wall speaker.Overall it was worth the money. | 34 stars

I have a Gateway Laptop computer. Currently I had a problem with it, I took it to a Laptop repair center, the total charge for parts and labor - $250. I was able to fix it for +/- $60, not a bad deal. Thanks to the Amazon partner. Good service and a good product! | 45 stars

I really love this mouse. I bought it for my desktop, because I have very small hands. It was easy to set up, took less than 5 minutes. It works very well, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a small, reliable desktop ot laptop mouse. | 34 stars

I bought my first pair of these Sennheiser headphones so that I could watch HiDef/DVD in bed while my wife went to sleep. It's not my first experience with wireless, but the best to date.Good enough that I've ordered a second pair for use in another room.And it's actually my third set because the first pair I bought was a gift for someone who allowed me to try them out for a few days. That was enough to convince me.I've previously used other Sennheiser professional gear. In some cases in the past I found the sound satisfying but the ergonomics less so, i.e. an earlier set of noise suppressors worked wonderfully but were awkward to carry on a plane. And I've tried a variety of other wireless headphones of assorted major brands. These are the best to date. No they don't quite measure up to wired very high end headsets, but they're pretty darned good. Signal carries from one room of a largish house to another with very few artifacts, also much superior to other wireless phones tried.I can't explain people who cite almost immediate failure. They are well made. | 45 stars

I own this unit. I purchased it originally because it had both a VCR and a DVD and could record from the TV, from my Tivo, and from my VCR tapes AND it was touted as being user friendly. The unit worked flawlessly. I now have a functioning VCR and DVD player in one, that also can easily record from VCR to DVD and/or vice-versa. It's just great. The interface is very easy to understand. You don't have to wade through a technical manual to know what to do; it's all laid out for you on the screen. The one hesitation I had was whether it would record and/or playback captions. Captions are a necessity in my household. I am happy to report that it does indeed record and play back captioned programs. I am so happy with this unit that I intend to buy a second one for my bedroom. | 45 stars

I spent days looking for a tripod to use with my new Nikon D80 SLR that would be small enough for world travel but reliable enough for solid shooting even with a 300mm zoom, and this baby did it for me! I seldom can see myself encountering a situation that I couldn't wrap it around something, ie. pole, bench, tree, rock, kayak, statue, fire hydrant . . ..I got a little remote for my camera and was able to take pictures of my wife and I in all sorts of situations! Definitely look for a remote if you will want proof of where you've been!Only think missing this from getting 5 stars is the lack of a tripod head!! You will have to buy one because it is very hard to use the gorilla pod without it. I got a simple heavy ball mount for about $25.00 form my local camera store (couldn't seem to find a reasonable one online).Certainly an awesome, very functional tripod! | 34 stars

I've had some experience with digital cameras. Have handled most if not all of the most popular brands, and I must say that I have found that Canon cameras seem to take the best pictures. I've used 7 megapixel cameras from Sony and compared it with similar shots from a 3.2mp Canon, and the picture quality is far superior. The flash is also wonderful, I've taken pictures in pitch black and they come out clear. The SD300 is a wonderful unit in the Canon line, I've had it for some time now and I can't find anything to complain about other than because of its size it may be easily misplaced. It usually amazes people to see the pictures produced by this pint sized camera, and the camera is extremely sleek and beautiful. It uses SD cards which for me is great as it is compatible with my laptop and other devices. The battery life is also great, even better when you take pictures in the daylight and conserve on flash. The video quality and supported special effects is pretty good too. I would highly recommend the SD300 for anyone seeking a camera that you can easily fit in your pocket, has great battery life, takes beautiful pictures and video. | 45 stars

I have another larger digital SLR type camera that takes fine detail pics. I choose this smaller V550 for its size, features and good look. Most of all is for the Schneider lens. This little guy does take sharp detail pics in auto mode. If you feel like to max out the potential of this camera, there are also a lot of manual adjustment settings you can play around with. It is not as sexy as the Sony Cybershot DSC-T7 but the Kodak V550 sure take much better pictures then the Sony. Both cameras have weak flash for taking indoor pictures, but what more do you want from a camera in this size. Both cameras have worst then average battery life. An extra battery would be a must for both of this camera. Keep in mind, the Sony battery cost around $60 and the Kodak battery cost less than $20. | 45 stars

This splitter works fine. I connected it to my security camera's dvr system to split the video signal. The only con was that the connectors/plugs were dirty and the labels/stickers on each connector were peeling off like if they were used before. I wiped them down a bit and they worked fine. | 34 stars

Not only do I use this model at home, but I insist my clients buy these in bulk and that every desk have one. These units have a combination of features that make them simply the best for PC's and networking equipment.-They are easily wall mountable.-They have 3 large AC block sockets. 2 of which are used for "always on" equipment.-The off/on button is recessed. This is my favorite feature as it cannot be found on many other protectors. This prevents accidental turn off.-The cord is plenty long.-The plug is right angled. | 45 stars

The name of this product is confusing, but it is in fact just a standard (miniature) keyboard that will work with any Windows computer. There are other '595' type keyboards for sale on Amazon that are identical to this keyboard, except for color.This is very nice miniature keyboard, good key action, clean layout, well built, small enough so it can be used on the arm of an easy chair, which is how I use it. After lots of use, the only thing wrong with my last '595' black keyboard was the key markings were beginning to wear off. I like the look of this white keyboard.Comes with a long, high quality cord terminating in a PS/2 connector, but with a simple passive adapter it works fine as a USB keyboard, and this is how I use it. On the back are two rubbery strips (front) and two plastic flip down feet (rear) that can be used to tilt it up a little if used on a flat surface. | 45 stars

This worked out of box on two laptops. One that is several years old running Windows XP, and my new laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium. Should be easy enough to install and configure for even novice users. Be sure to clearly check if your display resolution is supported before buying. I didn't and mine is currently sitting in a box of spare computer parts. :-( But that was my fault because I must have got products crossed when I was checking so many reviews. | 45 stars

I have summited Crow Peak, South Dakota. Been through almost every hazardous terrain throughout the Black Hills, and have made my way through to and up and down the coast of California with this thing. The Pentax k10d is the way to go for rough and tumble photography. This camera has been in snowstorms, mountain ranges, deserts, and even right on the ocean and it was never failed to capture anything but what I shoot at. The weather proof body has taken its toll in the past year I have had it and have not had a single malfunction or problem with moisture or foreign contaminants. I have been caught out in the rain in the Moab while hiking the windows national park with the camera in the dirt then it rained and held up against the water and the mud created in the way out of the park. It was sincerely something else to see all the cannon fans pull out plastic baggies and scram for coverage of their cameras. They had came all that way and could not take the shots of the windows because of the fear of losing their beloved cameras. As for me I continued out in the rain with my weather proof Pentax to capture what I set out for. Clearly this camera has and will continue to preform to the fullest as long as it has memory and batteries. To barely scratch the surface when I say that this is the best camera for my lifestyle, I cannot wait to step into the bigger Pentax models, and continue to explore with some of the best equipment on the market | 45 stars

This is the 2nd Nikon monocular I've owned. The first one (which I have had for at least 15 yrs) I left in our second home in FL... it saves me time and money, because I use to to check the temperature displayed on a bank's billboard about 1/2 mile away... no kidding... I take it everywhere I go when I travel, as it is much more compact than a big clunky pair of binoculars. Plus you can flip lens and turn it into a microscope -- or what we +40yr olds need -- emergency reading glasses! | 45 stars

These inexpensive earbuds definitely won't win any awards for sound quality, as they lack the clarity and brilliance of (say) the Sennheiser CX300-B. Also note that these are not "noise canceling" earbuds, but "sound isolating"; like the Sennheisers (and the Shure series) they use a soft rubber earpiece to block out (but not eliminate) ambient noise. For whatever reason, however, the JBuds' earpieces do not seem to be as effective as those of the Sennheisers or the Shures. For this product, at least, "you get what you pay for." | 12 stars

I ordered a used Nikon 18-70mm zoom and it came without a front cap. I went to Ritz and bought a cheap quantaray cap, but the tabs stuck out too far to use it with the hood on. Should have spent the extra few dollars for the Nikon one, it fits great even with the hood | 45 stars

The Sandisk Sansa M250 is a great MP3 player. I didn't want anything flashy, just something to jog/exercise with. The memory and battery power is fantastic. For normal use this is a great product at a good price.l | 45 stars

Looks cool, protects my player from scratches and falling damage, BUT, if you remove it you will find a good amount of dust in there, and if you carry it on your pants's bags, you will find even more stuff in thereOverall it protects the physical integrity of the player but not the screen | 34 stars

I bought this printer for my wife's computer when she started having problems with the former printer. I thought this all-in-one would be great for her with its additional copier and scanning abilities which she had been wanting. However, I ran into some trouble when I initially went to install the accompanying software. It complained about the system not meeting the minimum requirements - which puzzled me because it certainly exceeded all requirements listed on the box. I was in a hurry at the time so just got the basic printer driver installed and that was it. We have been quite happy with the printing and copying capability. However, its been a few weeks and she finally prodded me into trying to get the software installed again so that she could use the scanner. So, I tried installing again and could not find an option to specify a target drive. It kept scanning my C: drive and telling me it did not have the nearly 1 Gig of space required to install the software. It is true that the C: drive did not have that much space (although it did have over 500 Meg), but I had intended to install to my F: drive partition which had over 4 Gig of space. After being unable to figure out how to install to my F: drive, I contacted HP support and was told that the software can only be installed to the C: drive. I couldn't believe it - its been ages since I've installed any significant software that didn't allow me to choose where to install to, and the box did not state that the disk space had to be available on the C: drive. Unfortunately, I've already cleaned the C: drive of all temporary files and there still isn't nearly enough space on that drive so it appears we will be unable to use the scanner at all. So, beware unless you have a huge amount of space on your C: drive and don't mind the software not giving you a choice of where to install. | 12 stars

We initially got this TV because it was priced right and it was a perfect fit for the kitchen - the standard television box just took up too much space on the counter. Initially, we loved it. It had a great picture and the sound quality was fine. After a few months, the sound started to cut out for brief periods of time and then cut back in. We thought it was our cable service - until we turned on a TV in the other room. The periods of time that the sound would cut off got increasingly longer in duration until - eventually - we had no sound at all. We contacted Polaroid. They wanted us to ship it back to them (paying for the shipping) PLUS send them $155. We weighed our options and opted to get a different TV for approximately the same amount of money as that would have cost us. So far, we're perfectly happy with our Vizio VA19L HDTV10T. | 01 star

The unit is all it's claimed to be. It was delivered to my home and was very easy to unpack. I removed the base (very easy) and mounted it to a wall using an articulating arm. Hook up to cable was easy as was connection to my digital camera for slide shows. Images are clear and sharp both monochrome and color. I'm sure it's reproducing all that the video sources are capable of. Sound is good, although at my age I can't be too critical - I can appreciate the stereo effects. Sporting events like the NFL and pro baseball are especially good. I'm very pleased with the display and expect I'll never need to buy another in my lifetime. | 45 stars

After 10 years of hearing "can you turn it down?","does it have to be so loud?","you're going to wake up your daughter and I'm not dealing with her", and having to explain why I like listening to movies loud so that I feel like I'm in the experience, I finally broke down and bought these headphones. Wow, am I glad I did. The sound quality is very good. The design quality is very good. The recharging system is very convenient. After over a years worth of use they are still going strong. I'd strongly recommend this product to anyone who wants to hear more of their movies and less of the person next to them. | 45 stars

I have two at home with different frequencies and one at a vacation condo. I have no problem with the range even in our two story home.

Will check out the rest of their offerings. | 45 stars

This has the best variety of photo objects of all the disks I've seen and is the only one of it's kind for a mac. I would look closely before purchasing more that one disk of photo objects. Every photo object disk I've seen is put out by Hemera (check the fine print), which I believe is now represented by Jupiter images, a very large stock agency. Anyway, most of the photo objects you could purchase from any avenue, including their subscription service, is going to be on this disk, which makes it a very good value. My fiance purchased some smaller collections for the PC and all were duplicates.The images are a little small for any kind of large scale print work, but will work fine for web or smaller print formats, like brochures & such. The images usually need to be descreened in Photoshop before placing, but the embedded alpha channel is still a huge time saver, considering the volume of shots.The browser is easy to use, and you can just drag and drop files into applications or into a folder for later use (will be a tif with an alpha channel). This is good because you can't really bust open the proprietary format the image files are in without using the browser. There's a small converter for pc out there that does it if you're a pc user, but really, no one will ever need to have all these files converted at once, and dragging what you need out of the browser app does it instantly. | 45 stars

I bought this camera, because my old camera is irritating me when I have one shot left to take to fill up the film and I don't have any idea what to shoot or waiting for the store to develop them for a whole day is way too long if you want them at the best price. This is a good camera if you take only one picture every week, but other cameras' instant film are cheaper at the same size. I used it when my family from an other country came as tourists and they had to leave the same day ; I couldn't run to develop films. The bigger the picture you want on instant film, the bigger the camera sould be, so don't complain.If you take a lot of pictures and developping films aren't a problem to you and quality is essential, just buy a good film camera around $400 or $500, but they sure are bulky. That was the advice people gave me at many, many stores.Anyways, cameras are cheaper in Canada... except the digital ones. | 34 stars

I just happened to meet this old friend here on Amazon again! which worked for me only 1 year and ... I bought this camera when it just came on Amazon and used to cost more than $400.00I really took care of it as far as protecting it in its holder. Always waited till its battery get empty then recharge it but it only worked for less than a year. I changed its battery but ordered a new battery but no luck. it will not turn on or if it would it will work only for few minutes and back to coma.I will not recommand it. | 01 star
