Many discs flawed!
The OPTODISC, 9.4Gig double sided DVD RAM is a fine product...when it works. I own a Panasonic DMR-E20 DVD Video recorder and use these discs to record video data such as T.V. programs and movies. Out of the 20 discs that I have purchased, 4 have one of the sides of the discs, virtually unusable. Some other discs have temporary defects ranging from a fraction of a second to many seconds of which the video data is corrupted. On the other discs the data is perfect but the high ratio of imperfect discs, cause me to recommend you to avoid this product and spend your money on another brand. | 0negative

Won't Close
I have the same problem as the first reviewer. The 60 GB version will not latch shut with a 60 GB iPod in it. It seems closed, but the tabs do not engage to keep it secure. If you carry it on your belt, it may suddenly pop open and drop you iPod to the gound. The only positive is that you can see the iPod screen perfectly through the case. My advice is to avoid this product. | 0negative

Looks Great and Sounds Great but will only last for a month...
I brought mine in early July and well the first speaker busted(the volume and bass was never loud) after about three weeks. So I put my old pioneer in its place. Then about a month after that my other speaker just stop working. I triple checked connections, I rewired everything and it still doesn't work. Boss Audio Speakers are no good. You would come out better paying a little more for a Pioneer than to waste money on these speakers. | 0negative

A good house or backyard Toy
I bought this with the hope of using it for wildlife observations while out in the field. I had previous experience with night vision and hoped for a clear view of the surrounding meadows, forests, etc. Not so with this one. I could not see any better than using my own eyes. It works when there is still some light or moonlight but, I can see fine on my own then. I returned it after one use.It works ok in the house or your local backyard, as it will pick up the street lights etc and make everything bright. Forget it if you intend to use it in the wilderness.The technology has definately improved in this area but for a good product it appears I will have to spend more money. I'll eat carrots for now. | 0negative

Voice command eliminated on Go 720
TomTom GO 720 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS NavigatorBefore I ordered my 720. I tried one out in a store. I was attracted to the fact in could input destinations by voice. When I received my 720, I couldn't get voice input to work. Some of the documentation on the web site said it had voice input and some didn't mention it so I got in touch with customer support. They told me it did not have and would never have voice input and I was out of luck. It appears that the early release of software had voice support but it was removed in the US. I think it is available in Europe. They probably want people to buy the new Go730 for a lot more money for the voice imput. Since their existing product literature on their web site says there is voice input I feel that they are basically dishonest and recomment buying someone else's unit. | 0negative

Where's bass?
I am very disappointed in the quality of sound reproduction, in general. Although the sound from a DVD is more full, the natural TV sound is lacking in bass and rich tones. I've found that static noise is annoying, and although I've had to rearrange the method of connecting the speakers to the receiver, the static remains.If I had to do it over again, I would spend the extra money and NOT buy Home Theater in a Box, but separate components. | 0negative

Geforce 4 MX 420 SDR not worth it!
Well I just bought this card, and I am not too impressed since the technology is not so great on this card missing directx8 and DDR memory. I would recomand to buy ATI Rodeon 7500 or 8500. My other system runnng Rodeon 7500 is much quicker for games and even better quality, looks like these cards cost the same price. Without a doubt ATI 7500 is better for great perfomance and price! | 0negative

You get what you pay for I guess
I'm fairly new to astronomy, but I expected better quality when I purchased this eyepiece kit from Celestron. After reading some of the reviews here, I was convinced that these were going to be some decent eyepieces and filters. This kit may be alright for some, but I found them lacking in quality of fit and build and would not recommend them to anyone who has the desire to use the high-power eyepieces (9x, 6x, 4x, etc). I bought these because of the low price tag, and for the most part, I regret not just buying one or two better quality eyepieces from Televue. The filters were really "cheap" too. | 0negative

WOW! It really takes great underwater pictures!
I bought this camera a month ago for our trip to Roatan, Honduras. My wife and I are avid snorkelers and we wanted an inexpensive camera (not the throw aways) that take great pics of sea life with the vibrant colors we see through our mask. This camera is the one. The divers at our resort were blown away with the clarity of each picture. Also, the pics I took on land were excellent as well. One of the pics I've posted (sunset) is now a desktop background for one of my co-workers. I read every review for this camera before I bought it and when I saw the pics from the reviewer in Hawaii, I was sold. I hope my pics help. | 1positive

Tripplite aptly named
All this does for us is periodically show a red light and turn everything off. We have 6 items plugged in. It started doing this within a few days of use.Yes, we have an old house and our wiring is not modern 200+ amp service (it's 100 amp), but this is useless to provide any reliable battery backup.Think twice if your house is not new or newly rewired. | 0negative

works on canon rebel xt also...
This magnifier works on the Canon Rebel XT and in my opinion is probably the best usable magnification you can get in this category of devices (I originally thought of getting a straight 2.3x viewfinder magnifier, but after several posts of unusably dark view, I ditched the idea). It fits the Rebel XT pretty snugly. The magnification is perceptible but not earth shattering. The viewfinder image didn't suffer a noticable loss of light. With Rebel X*'s small viewfinder, every bit of magnification might be worth it. But it won't be enough for a precise manual focus.Without glasses on, you can exactly see both the frame and the info bar below it. With glasses on, you can just about see the entire frame, but if you peer to see the info bar, you lose some portion of the top of the frame (image center is still there).This also brings the eye piece a bit forward, so your nose isn't entire squished against the LCD.Nikon users may fume at a review of a part meant for Nikon cameras used on a Canon body, but I felt the review could be useful for Canon users considering this part. Nikon has made a good part with no Canon equivalent, but very much usable on a Canon body. | 1positive

Not for Nanos
I recently purchased this product and had to promptly return it. The packaging and website said it works perfectly with the iPod Nano, but when I hooked it up... I got nothing. Not even the slightest sound. I tried hooking it up to my sister's Nano as well, but it didn't work on hers either. I know that it works really well with the Mini and iPod video, but if you're looking for something to work with your Nano, choose another product, because this one just isn't a fit at all. | 0negative

Review of Panasonic KX-TCA98 Headset
This product was basically unusable to me... a complete waste of money! It fit my phone just fine, and I could hear the caller pretty well, but the caller could hardly hear me at all. I had the volume on my phone turned up full blast, and the volume on the headset turned up full blast, and I was basically shouting into the mouth piece that was as close to my mouth as possible. The person calling said that I sounded like I was shouting to him through a wind tunnel. I had to repeat myself several times before he understood me. I ended up immediately removing it from my phone just so I could finish the conversation.Shortly after the call was over, the headset went into my trash bin. NOT GOOD. | 0negative

Don't buy this printer!!!
I bought this HP 8250, my second HP printer about a year ago (I was, for the most part, pleased with my first HP printer, a PSC 2110 all-in-one, but decided to upgrade because after a few years, the all-in-one had some problems printing pictures -- meaning it would print a picture a half inch below where it should have, and after adjusting the picture placement on the computer file, it would print it even lower or higher than where it should have been). So I figured buying HP should be a good thing, but....Avoid this printer! It gradually stopped feeding paper over time (at first, I had to keep hitting the OK button to get it to feed but towards the end not even that would work), and now it refuses to feed any paper. What a total waste of money -- and if you look at some of the older reviews on Amazon, you can see that I am the 2nd or 3rd person with this problem.Whoever posted the last review is either an HP salesman, or someone who had a nirvana-like experience with his HP printer. Don't believe the hype.And I actually did research HP printers on Consumer Reports, and HP is rated well -- that being said, now I am looking for another printer. I've tried Epson in the past, didn't like it, but I'm now out $300 after only 1 year of owning this HP printer. I'll never buy an HP printer again. Do yourself a favor and spend your cash on another brand printer!Signed....An HP owner who is pretty happy with his HP desktop computer but very dissatisfied with his HP printer | 0negative

Horrible Product - Really Bad Tech Support
I tried to install this product according to the instructions and it completely locks up Win XP Pro! I called D-Link and after a whole 2 minutes of troubleshooting the tech told me the card was incompatible with my motherboard/chipset and I should return it and buy someone else's card! I was floored. I recommend that you take that tech's advice when considering purchasing a D-Link product and buy something else!-Update- The Asus driver did not recognize the card. This driver must only work with the 1.0 chipset. I returned this card and bought an usb linksys adapter. Awesome! Never drops signal, a breeze to set up, and gets a really strong signal two stories away from touch point. Get this instead and save the aggravation! | 0negative

Not USB 2.0
Sure it is my fault for not checking on this previously, but it isn't listed anywhere on this site, and this item is the same price as other 16' active extensions that are 2.0 in other brands....So BEWARE, this item is ONLY USB 1.1 and is not up to the USB 2.0 speeds. | 0negative

Good sound, but it feels really cheap
I read a review saying that these headphones had excellent sound quality for the price, and that review was right. What they failed to mention was that these headphones were really uncomfortable and cheaply made. It's pretty awkward putting these on since the hooks that go on your ear are so stiff. I actually pulled one off trying to bend the metal into a more comfortable shape. If you're looking for cheap headphones, you'd be better off buying an earbud style(typically better quality at this price) or saving up for a more expensive set. | 0negative

Perfect trade up!!!
Just bought it! Been living in bliss for 4 days now.I used to own a 2nd Generation iPod 20 GB (gave it to my sis, who's btw extremely happy right now) and I must say that if you've been holding up for an upgrade that is worth it, THIS is the iPod to get.There DEFINITELY is wonderful differences in many instances:1. Better sound. (the BASS! the CLARITY!! All BETTER!!).2. Faster hard disk access.3. Did I said the sound is cooler than ever?4. COLOR IN EVERYTHING!!! (the OS, games, calendars, contacts... SEXY!!).5. Album art!!6. All the cool features of the 3rd Generation iPods and iPod mini.7. Photos.8. Photo slideshow with soundtrack on the TV!9. Who are we kidding? Color iPods are the future of this franchise, better get up to speed dontcha think?10. All of the above!More reasons?? I bought my 2nd Gen iPod 20 GB for $599. This 40 GB color beauty is $100 dollars cheaper!!COOOOOOOOOOOOOL !!!!! | 1positive

Coaxial Stripper

Disregard the size and you get THE WORST MP3 PLAYER EVER!
Here some issues that I have encountered after three days of use of Windows iPOD 20Gb version:1. Can't just drop MP3 files on iPOD in Windows File Explorer, have to use the buggy musicmatch software;2. If you plug in the remote while the iPOD is connected to FireWire, the remote is not going to work after you disconnect FireWire;3. There is no way to increase/decrease iPOD volume using the remote if nothing is playing (or if playback is paused). You have to start playing something first;4. No radio;5. No cross-fading of MP3s;6. The included game is [very bad];7. Shock protection is not working well for me (may be just my unit);8. The metallic back of iPOD is shiny, fingerprints make the unit look like a piece of garbage;9. The clip of the remote is too small, clipping to shirt or bag strap is not secure;10. Pressing buttons on the right side of the remote can "un-clip" the remote if it is clipped to your shirt;11. Clipping the remote to things is almost not possible without touching the buttons. You have to switch the "hold" switch before, to disable the buttons;12. There is no indication on the screen of which "hold" switch is engaged;13. The buggy Musicmatch software is really slow and crashes frequently, but you HAVE TO use it, there is no way around;14. There is no way to keep playable music files on iPOD only to release 20Gb of computer disk space.15. There are no updates to any files on the computer and the iPod; if you connect iPod to your computer, MusicMatch will still spend at least half hour to synchronize.16. Does not play WMA files;17. No USB connection to computer;18. ...definitely overpriced.19. etc, etc, etc...I want to stress that all shortcomings of the new iPod I have seen are born at Apple and its allies, nothing is related to Windows or Microsoft.Conclusion: if it was not for the small size, I would not have bought this iPOD for [less]. This MP3 player's features are worse than features of almost any other MP3 player released one or even two years before iPOD... | 0negative

Dont Waste Your Time or Money
At first glance this is a beautiful little camera, huge 2 1/2 display, appears to be beautifully made, it really is.Its problem and it is one that renders it so useless is that, this nice big display has no antireflective coating, trying to take photos in a bright sunlit place like a beach or on a cruise even with the brightness gain alway the way up is useless.I was so frustrated by it I ultimately just put it away so that when I get home I will return it. It is shameful that Pentax whom has a fine reputation produced a totally useless camera like this.In my travel group some people had the Sony T33, the display was just superb, clear, bright and no problem, I will exchange it for the Sony.Wake up Pentax | 0negative

Great Speakers
I purchased these speakers to mount outside over my 20'x20' deck and pool area. These are incredible speakers for the price. I drive them off of a 5CD, 90W RMS JVC bookshelf type speaker system that sits in my kitchen just off the deck. If you're looking for a similar setup, Radio Shack sells a nice high power speaker selector box that lets you connect your stereo receiver output and drive up to 4 pairs of speakers. The speakers can run independently or up to 4 pairs simultaneously by pushing different selector buttons on the front of the unit. I have the bookself speakers in the kitchen and these Jensens on the deck connected and the sound is fabulous. This setup has been a great hit at parties this summer.The speakers themselves are very high quality and come with nice mounting brackets that you can't see in the picture. They let you mount the speakers either vertically or horizontally flat or at a 45 degree angle pointing up or down. You can also rotate the speakers about their mounting axis to "point" them in the direction you want the sound. I have mine mounted vertically and rotated in a bit toward the center of the deck. | 1positive

Awesome Little Camera LOADED with Great Features
I bought this, my first digital camera a month ago and it has exceeded my expectations! I did a tremendous amount of research to figure out what features I most wanted in a digital camera. I was basically looking for a small DC I could take around and take lots of pictures with.Despite Panasonic being pretty new to DC's, I noticed a lot of the features that I was looking for on the LC-20 and decided to take a chance. What first caught my eye about this Panasonic was the Leica Lens. Being somewhat familiar with photography, I have always known Leica to make excellent (and expensive!) lenses. I don't have a digital photo printer so I can't comment on how well these pictures print out.This baby had just about every important feature I was looking for: 2.1 mp, 3x optical 2x digital (but everyone knows digital zoom's useless), compact, light, plugs directly to my computer via USB (don't need to buy a separate reader), burst mode rocks; and it uses 2 AA batteries (included with charger!) which have averaged a good 70+ shots with the LCD screen on.Movie mode with sound is a great addition too with a 20s film clip eating 3.25megs each. One feature that I thought was awesome and I'm still learning to use is Burst mode. This was another feature I highly desired, seeing that one of the major complaints my friends had with their DC was the 1-2 second lag in between picture-taking. Burst mode allows you to take 3-5 pics per second, with one drawback being you can only take as many pictures as fast as the flash will allow. This basically translates to being able to use burst mode most effectively outside during the day.I talked to friends before I bought this camera, most of whom own one of the Canon Elphs (great line of cameras too), others have Olympus Camedias (huge and bulky) and Sony's (not bad, but pretty pricy for what you're getting). I tried theirs out before I made my purchase and I can safely say I'm much happier with my camera for the following reasons:-The Panasonic powers up FAST! Power-up to a picture taken is about 3 seconds.-The delay between hitting the shutter button and the camera actually taking the picture is very short, less than or about a second.-Burst mode! Although it really only functionally works during the day when you don't need a flash, one of the most frequent complaints I heard from friends is it's impossible to time action shots. Burst mode helps remedy that.-AA batteries are cheaper than proprietaries and can be bought anywhere if you find yourself on vacation or just out and unable to recharge quickly-The camera fits well in my hand-The macro feature is a definite bonus-I recently took this camera skiing and can happily report that I could turn the camera on/off, and take pictures pretty easily even with my gloves on.Some drawbacks that I've come across:- Don't even bother with the packaged software. Even using plain old Windows Explorer beats it.- Doesn't include a DC adapter, but this is easily remedied by buying a set of 4 rechargables for a total of 6, that'll take care of 200+ pics at a time)- Of course 8MB isn't enough, but you need to buy a new memory card with every DC on the market anyway; my 128MB card can hold 159 1600x1200 pics without compression. That jumps to over 1000 pictures if you lower the resolution to 640x480 and use compression.- Uses SD (SecureDigital) memory cards, which are slightly more expensive than Compact Flash and Sony Memory Sticks (and hardly anyone else uses them so you're stuck if you want to switch brands later). These memory cards are SMALL, though, about the size and thickness of a dime.Some people may say 2.1 mp is a drawback, but these pictures come out crisp and clear at 1600x1200 and are already pushing 700kb. If you want 3-4mp, you'll probably need to invest in huge memory sticks not to mention a bigger hard drive. Digital pictures add up! I've already taken over a thousand in the past month!The key to buying a DC will be to ask yourself what you will be using the camera for most. Is it something you want to bring with you EVERYWHERE? If so, you'll probably want something ultra-small, smaller than this camera (and thus probably twice the price of this camera). I just wanted something to replace my Point-and-Shoot, something that allows me to take a lot of pictures without worrying about the cost of film, development, etc. IMHO, this is a great starter DC. It's relatively cheap, has a lot of great features, and it's compact enough to carry in a jacket pocket. Overall, it has exceeded my expectations and continues to please. | 1positive

Bought this Onkyo to pair up with my new Direct H20 HD dvr
I have been disappointed by this receiver. Nothing but probems from the first day. Its set up in my bedroom so I have it hooked up as a 2.1 (2 front and 1 subwoofer). When you turn on the unit you hear hissing noises out of the speakers. It drives you bananas especially when its not getting a signal. Secondly everytime I have a channel or when the broadcast goes from HD to SD, I head a low frequency thump. Even with the volume turned down its prononced. And before I get any replies about checking for cross wires, the input signal is coax and the wires for the speaker hookup is clean, no crossing. And LAST straw, the center speaker started going berserk, static noise cycling back and forth. Everytime it cycled I can see the voltage jumping on my monster power conditioner. I am glad it the receiver was inexpensive so when I get a new one I can toss it out the window. I bought the unit in Aug 2006. | 0negative

4 stars.....Works well but not sure about how effective it is
Let me start by saying that I have the Targus USB chillpad with a powered 4 port hub built into the chillpad. This seems to be slightly different than the product described here but the basics are exactly the same (with exception of the USB hub built into mine).That said, I have been using the Targus chillpad for about a year now and I must say that it works really well but unfortunatley I cannot vouch for its effectiveness in keeping my laptop cool. I use a program called Everest to monitor the temperature of my latop and there is really no difference between the temperature with the chillpad on or the chillpad off. The laptop is noticeably cooler to touch on the underside but the fans still kick on all the time and the temperature readings are still the same. I give this 4 stars because the product is well designed and works well but because there is no measurable difference in internal temperature I cannot give it 5 stars. It might work better for you if you constantly use your laptop on a bed or similar surface or if you actually use it on your lap.*** Plus points of the chillpad include: ****- very quiet fans that move out air to the back- a handy on/off switch so you can turn it off without unplugging it from your USB- very nicely located USB ports that can be powered with the included ac wall plug (useful for high power usb devices).**** Negative points include: ***- slightly small size that may not work effectively for larger laptops- fans do not turn off with the laptop if you leave the ac adapter plugged in (although this won't be an issue for the non USB hub model)- you have to be careful about positioning your laptop if you have fans underneath so that the chillpad's fans do not interfere with the laptop's fans- the ac adapter seems a little on the cheap side | 1positive

Do not know why I waited so long!
I kept going back and forth about getting one of these, but my boyfriend got me this for xmas, and i am so glad he did! it is so simple to use and easy to understand now i am not sure how i lived without it! from memo lists to addresses and phone numbers, i now have everythign i need in a small, cute, durable place! It is really a wonderful tool. I would highly recommend this to anyone thinking about being more organized in the new year. The style of this unit is professional and does not look or feel like a toy, which is what i felt when i held the Palm and the Visor. | 1positive

Splits the quality of signal
I split the signal between my monitor and an LCD projector in my classroom attached to a 20 foot cord. The quality on the monitor become too poor for me to use. The brightness decreased and there was a ghosting or double vision kind of effect on the monitor. Our tech guy explained that you are splitting the quality of the signal in two. | 0negative

Great Mouse, Bad Support
Awesome mouse. Use it with my laptop to both work and play a couple of MRPG's. However, during one of my extensive travels, I lost one of the batteries. When I called Logitech's store to buy a replacement battery, the rep said I had to call the tech support, since they have to be processed as warranty replacements. Upon calling the tech support I was unpleasantly surprised that there is no way to obtain a replacement battery anymore. I was offered a new mouse at half of MSRP price, but declined the offer. So while the product itself is great, the battery life is fantastic (for a rechargable battery), the support side... well, sux! | 0negative

Potential Fire Hazard
I loved the idea of being able to load images from just about any media.However when I turned the picture frame on - I had only downloaded 3 pictures when I heard a small "pop" - the screen when blank and smoke starting coming out of the back of the picture frame. Obviously something wasn't made right in this one. I had bougt three - one for me and two for gifts. They are all going back. I sure wouldn't want a present I have given to cause a fire in a love one's house later down the road. | 0negative

Overstated range - lousy support
I purchased a couple of these for my kids for Christmas, 2003. According to the tech specs, the transmission range for these things is 120 to 150 feet.The units we received indicate 'out of range' when taken upstairs in our house, which is about 50 feet from the base unit.I used Motorola's web support site and asked if it was possible that my units were defective. They sent me the URL to an FAQ, which told me that the working range for these things is 150 feet. Very frustrating. It seems they did not even read my question. To add insult to injury, their automated customer satisfaction followup email was emblazoned with the motto 'intelligence everywhere'. I beg to differ.In summary, I do not recommend the IMfree. | 0negative

It Ain't as easy as the instructions lead you to believe on Windows 98SE

I was the first person in Northern Ireland to have one of these i mail ordered it. I have to tell you that i was not on the best terms with Archos after 4 other players died (3 jukebox 6000 and 1 jukebox 20 studio) although i was not happy with them i gave them the benifit of the dubt and i am happy to report this one still works (so far) The Jukebox 20 recorder is incredibly impressive by anyones standards and i wish that it was all good news but technology is only as flawless as the people who build and create it and that was humans and we ain't perfect by a long stretch of the imagination so i will put all the good points and BAD points in a list:Good Points20 Gigs of storage (WOOOOOO)Built in mic (More info in bad points)Light (unless you enjoy carrying 500 cds with you)Drag and Drop interface (soooooo easy)Small (the size of a walkman)Doesn't skip (unless you try to prove them wrong and beat it up/good for fitness finatics)Can Record from other musical devices (go to your mates house and record thier stuff ha ha)Easy to find songsHeadphones are stylish and foldable(is that a word) anyway they also have a volume controlCarrying case supplied (Blue what a 'shock')It looks coolThe screen lights up for all you people who can't sleepYou get a charger (you can use any multi charger despite what it says in the book)2x 4 rechargeable batteries (they are meant to last 10 hours, they do)Best of all it doubles as a hard drive so you can store all the stuff you don't want anyone to see (Wink Wink)Thats a lot of good points and i'm sure i left some out but now what you really want to know what are the bad points:Bad PointsThe mic does record your voice but the machines built in fan to cool it down mutes most things outThe batteries are to ... difficult to change without bending the side of the machineIt can brake down a lotThe headphones quality is ok but not great for digital music (buy a good set yourself you will have to admit that it was worth it)The build quality is not great but as i say human errorThe program that comes with it sucks (thats all i'll say)Even though you have 10 hours of battery they take 6 hours to chargeThe time and date reset everytime you run out of battery or change them, this means there is no built in battery for the clockThe manuel is an insult to anyone who has a brain and it doesn't even tell you about some of the functions (i will tell you later)They only supply you with the lead that can connect to another machine with two ports (if your like me your getto blater only has one Aux port so flash the cash and get a one to one. A fiver will get you a good sony one)It has a usb 2.0 cable (but most people don't have usb 2.0)The tech help is uselessOk that was the bad points but again i left some out (i didn't include the problems with the other players as that wouldn't be fair to Archos)Now for those of you that do buy one and do cause it is worth it, here are some of the things it don't tell you in that ... manuelThe resume option puts you straight back to where you left off not in the middle of a song like people think but just to that song (this also is reset after you change batteries)The queue option only lets you queue one or two can't remember but don't pick a load of songs cause it will skip the middle onesThe mic is accually at the top of the machine above where it says archos (it don't make much odds)The diagnostic always says ok cause it wouldn't work at all if the machine had a problemIf you want to find your songs fast stuff those playlists and put your songs into folders like eg. A's, B's, C's Etc....Remember your songs length has nothing to do with how much is left on it, its the size of the song that matters (size DOES matter AAAAAAhhhhhh) The difference in size is to do with the quality of the song.Ok thats it i'm tired and i want to go to bed any questions irritate the tech support (PLEASE)All in all this is a great machine buy it (don't forget you can trust everyone online ha ha ha) only joking have fun with it and impress all your friends and family with a toy thats out of Star Trek.P.S. I know i put this down as 5 stars but then you didin't see the old ones | 1positive

Buyer beware of the 5f 08 5e 02 lens problem!!
I purchased the Olympus Stylus 710 brand new in 2006. During the 2 years that I have owned it, it has proven to be a fairly dependable camera. General performance was good although the indoor shots (with flash) and outdoor action shots (i.e. kids playing soccer) could have been better. For some reason, any indoor shot with flash that involves the zoom always ends up dark and blurry, so it's pretty much a given that if I use my zoom and my flash indoors, I will get blurry pictures. Macro shots with a flash aren't that great either. Nevertheless, I've been fairly happy with it........until a couple of weeks ago. While taking pictures during our beach vacation, I was appalled when my camera stopped working. In the midst of taking shots, I got this odd whirring sound, the lens popped in and out, then the LCD screen turned blue. An error message: "D : 5f 08 5e 02" appeared on the screen and my camera stopped working. I was able to view the pictures I had taken, but the same whirring/lens popping/blue screen thing happened each time I tried to take a picture.All this within 2 1/2 years of purchase!! So this camera is dead and it would cost me almost as much as a new camera to have the problem fixed. I find it completely unacceptable for a camera to stop working this quickly (I had a manual point-and-shoot Canon Sureshot back in the day which lasted 10 years and counting!). Needless to say, this has completely turned me off from Olympus and I'm never buying an Olympus camera again!! Buyer beware - check the net for '5f08' or '5e02' problems and you will find lots of them. I wish I had known this before purchasing it. I would have looked elsewhere! | 0negative

My friend was wrong
I wanted a printer that was reliable. He wanted me to have one that made pretty pictures. My friend, the photographer, told me to buy this printer. I'm not sure we can be friends anymore. I've had it for 6 months and I want to throw it out the window at least once a week. If you can get it to work right, the print quality is fine. It just rarely works right. DO NOT LISTEN TO YOUR FRIENDS - LISTEN TO ME. Don't buy this! | 0negative

OEM Is Best
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) is the ONLY way to go when it comes to ink jet cartridges. I tried the cheap non-brand cartridges. I tried the re-loaded cartridges. I tried reloading my old cartidges. Nothing but trouble. As far as off-brand cartidges, the ones I bought must have had problems with the "electronics". That is the printed circuits on the cart totally messed up my HP printer.So the important part of the purchase of HP OEM ink carts is simply price and service. This provider provided 5-star service and a price that would embarass Costco.Paul M. Laperruque | 1positive

Watch out. For this one.
Ok I purchased this unit and it worked for about one month. Then when I went to change the security settings for the WIFI that's when the problems started. I went from WEP to WPA, because is more secure and it's easier to add computers to network (you don't have to remember a 26 character hexidecimal password.) When I did that I found that the router wouldn't work after a couple of minutes. Powering off and on would again have the router working only a few minutes. Then I discovered that even then the wired computers were having problems. I went online to the Linksys's forums to find some other people with the same problem. The only advice from Linksys was to reflash the firmware for the router. No success. The thing became a doorstop.I replaced it with one from D-Link. Easier set-up and not as touchy. | 0negative

Awful product...DO NOT BUY!
I was given the Magellan Maestro 3100 for a birthday present back in August of 07. I used it for no more than a month and it froze on me and would not reboot or anything. I called the customer service and they told me to send it in for repairs. I did this, after 3 months of calling them weekly I got my system back. Their customer service was awful, they kept telling me they were doing updates which is why it was taking so long. I finally got it back right before Thanksgiving and used it. It worked great here and there and then I went to put the newest updates on it and it froze again and the my computer kept saying something about the files being corrupt. So now, not only will my computer not complete the updates but the device is frozen. So now I have to send it in again FOR A SECOND TIME to get repairs. The device itself worked alright. Other than the minor problems I had with it: I live in a rural area and with all the trees I could not get a signal from it for about a mile to two miles. It did not say the street names before you turned on them other than saying the turn was coming up in .5 miles. I visited family in Philadelphia often and this was extremely unhelpful because you can't really take your eyes off the road long enough to see where you were suppose to be going. Plus with the how long it took to get a signal I was stuck roaming around in the city until it could tell me where to go. It took sometime to recalulate where to go so you missed the instructions before it even had a chance to tell you where to go. Between the little quirks, the system freezing twice on me now, and the horrible customer service, I would NOT recommend this product to anyone. I feel awful that someone spent money on this product for me. | 0negative

Great Sound
When I was looking for a cassette adapter to go with my iPod, it seemed like all of Amazon's selection had bad reviews. Then I found this product. It was a company that I had never heard of, but it had great reviews. So I bought it and got it in the mail today. Works great. All you have to do is plug and play, and I was very impressed with the sound quality. This product is great. | 1positive

Not working with Westell router from Verizon Fios
I disconnected Verizon Westell router antenna and connected the booster to it. I mounted the booster as high as it would go on my wall. I tried all 3 modes and still no change in strength. To make matters worse I couldn't login to my work VPN. It also SLOWED my Internet considerably. Most affected was secured websites like credit card accounts. I would disconnect the booster and it would be fine . I would then reconnect and problem immediately reoccurred. Did this a couple of times and exactly same symptoms. I even changed the channel on the router. | 0negative

Great for MP3 Players
Although another card was listed as the accessory, it was back ordered. I did some looking around and found out that this card is actually a lot better price per megabyte compared to the 32MB version.This card allows me to have an extra one full hour of CD Quality music for my RIO MP3 player. It is very dependable and the price is well worth the extra half hour of music.Until they come out with a 128MB smart media card (still months down the road), this is the best one on the market. | 1positive

Zone 2 and Zone 3 amps for Home Use
I am giving this product a 5 star rating, even though I am waiting for tech support to get back to me on one issue. At least they have tech support, and they are very knowledgable and helpful.I bought 2 of these amps to power 4 sets of AudioSource in wall speakers I have installed. I have one pair in each of 4 bedrooms (the review I wrote on the speakers is also on Amazon). These amps are connected to my Yamaha 5890 receiver which is capable of driving 3 different zones using 3 different inputs, which is cool, but totally overkill for me.When I activate Zone 2 or Zone 3 from the receiver, the AudioSource amps kick on automatically, a great feature. At first, I was having a lot of distortion in the speakers though. I called tech support, and they told me to reset the jumpers in my Russound in-wall volume controls, to allow the amp to push more power to the speakers at 8 ohms. Apparently the volume controls were cutting the resistance to 2 ohms, and the amps dont like that.Well, I made that adjustment, and voila. The music comes through clean and clear. Not deafening, but certainly loud enough to enjoy in the bedrooms. Thus far they perform admirably, and I found no other products that match their functionality, let alone value.But more than that 5 STARS FOR REAL TECH SUPPORT!!! They even called me back to talk, and were familiar with my volume controls and walked me thru the process. I know just enough to be dangerous, and the tech I spoke with was top notch. You just dont get enough of that these days, and I hope AudioSource keeps such a wonderful feature and resource, its truely a differentiator in today's market. Real people, with real answers, imagine that. | 1positive

Just doesn't work
I even sent mine for repair and received a replacement. If you use the document feeder with copy, fax, or scan option, images are distorted. Most of the time, it prints smudges on envelopes. Sometimes, it just doesn't print the entire document. Often will not print on label sheets | 0negative

Belkin N - Don't Set High Expectations
I had high hopes that the Belkin N would be better than my Linksys Wireless G (with SRX) access point, and I was disappointed. Here are the pros/cons:Pros:Very easy to set up initially, especially with the CD.Blue LEDs signal when things are working (Security/Internet, etc.)Sleek lookingGood priceCons:Intermittent connections, especially with mixed G and N configurations.You can set it so that it operates at 20/40MHz for faster speed. This did nothing for my configuration.Obtusive advanced set up screen. It does the job, but why make it so difficult?Overall, I would have kept this unit, but the dropped connections and intermittent signal strength (bouncing from excellent to good and from 54mps to 1mps was too annoying. Unless you go all Belkin or everyone is on the same floor, I'd opt for another unit. | 0negative

Great value for price
These jewel cases were perfect for our needs. Didn't seem any "cheaper" in quality than the other cases we normally get.

The cases were in a very sturdy box to start with and that box was inside another Amazon box so all was well. | 1positive

Difficult setup, if you can even get it to work, and not Vista compatible!!
After several hours of trying to get this thing working, I just returned it. Upon opening the box, there is a slip of paper stating that it is not compatible with Vista and that there *might* be drivers later. There is a quick start guide that looks extremely easy, and if it worked, it would be.Step 1. Throw away the quick start guideStep 2. Insert the included cd and read the 57 page user's guide that shows you how to really set it up.Step 3. Give it a shot.If you don't have encryption on your router (not a good idea) it would probably work ok. But if you do, then you must turn off the encryption, reset some settings on your pc, get the range extender to connect to your network, reset everything you just turned off and see if it works.I never got anything working, got tired of messing with it and just got a refund. It would probably be a good product if you are able to get it to work. | 0negative

Noise Reduction for you, not others
I recently purchased these headphones for my husband. He likes to listen to his ipod on planes and I thought these would be a good buy based on the fact that they're "noise-reduction" phones. There is however a major problem with that line of thinking. With the "noise-canceling" feature activated his music is audible for anyone within 100 ft of him. It's like he doesnt even have headphones on. The first time he used them on a plane he had a woman yell at him for disturbing her with his music. I can fully sympathize as if he listens to his ipod in the kitchen, I can clearly hear what he is listening to from our bedroom upstairs. I most definitely do not recommend these headphones if you're listening to music with anyone else around. | 0negative

You get what you pay for!!!
I have had this TV for less than 3 years and the color has gone. It was a good price at the time I thought it was a steal, now I see that they stole my money and left me with a crappy product, and an expired warranty. Well I'm about to go purchase a better brand. Be warned and for all those good reviews, they were lucky, but on a whole this television is garbage!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 0negative

Broke in less than a week!!
I was so excited to give this to my husband for Father's Day and he loved it. However, after only one day, the keychain part of it broke (the part that hooks). If that weren't bad enough, just a few short days later, you can't even turn it on anymore. It's been charged but still will not turn on. My husband has not dropped it or banged it around. He's only used it to drive back and forth to work on his car keychain (after rigging something up to make it stay on his keychain when that broke). Turned out to be a complete dud. Horrible, horrible quality. I'm in the process of trying to exchange or get money back from Amazon .... very disappointing. | 0negative

I love this camera!
I bought this camera a little over a month ago and have been very happy with it. Before this, I used a Fugi MX 1200. There is 1 thing that I wish it had an optical viewfinder. It can be hard to see in the sunlight. As for size, its big because it has a built in printer. I found an ac adapter at a ... chain store and use it with the camera. The cost was less than [money]. The pics are quick b/c you are downloading via usb. I use this camera with my MGI Family Ed. Photo program. I also use 2 online photo sites that I found on the net. They are snapfish and ofoto. Wow, was I surprised when I received some pics back that I had sent on the net. I experimented with 1 photo and had it blown up to an 8x10 size. Everyone was amazed at the quality of this picture. I use rechargable batteries and keep several smart media cards handy all in my camera bag. I am in charge of our Family reunions and I think that this camera will be ideal for this. It gives family members a chance to pick up film and have a picture to keep if they want too. The film is around [money] for 10 pics or [money] for 20 pics. This camera seems to be well made. I was happy with the Fugi but I was ready to move on to more pixals and I wanted to get an optical zoom. This camera had both and the price was right since I found it on special for [money] b/c it had an instant [money] rebate. To get anything near this camera without the built in printer would have cost over [money] more. Again, i'm thrilled and it's simple to use with a little bit of reading the book and practice. I print pictures out on my Hewlett Packard model 920 c printer with the resolution set up to 2400 by 1200. Using photo paper or brochure paper can make your picture worth framing. And a laminater can preserve your photos. I also make picture cds on my cd burner to save and use later. As you can tell, I am really into these electronic gadgets now and I research everything that I can about these new products. | 1positive

A major waste of money
This product is great, if you enjoy spending money on a product that will only work for 3 months if that.The product works fine at first, then you start to notice the battery going dead sooner and sooner until it no longer holds any charge.This typically happens in 3 - 4 months, whether you get the black or grey versions of the charge and play kit.Waste of money if you ask me. Only buy if you want to buy a new one in 3 months. | 0negative

So Far, So Good
I received the cartridges yesterday, (Sat., Dec. 22) and loaded 1 of the 5 into my Canon S900 printer and ran a test - and it looked very good.Four more to go.Most of what I've printed to date have been checks and have found this black printer ink has worked just perfect from installation in the S900 printer. The cartridge does not match the Canon cartridge in shape, and according to the box the cartridge was in, it is a, G&G; ink cartridge.There is some confusion as I ordered the cartridges from a company different from the one that shipped it. The shipping company was LINKYO, DBA SuperMediaStore.In any case, the price was right, and it was shipped without charge.Still, I always hold my breath, in a manner of speaking, every time I order a substitute product. This product gets a sigh of relief. | 1positive

UNhappy
I've always been told to say something nice about someone or something if you have criticisms. So, the sound from this system is good. BUT - - - it doesn't go from CD to CD, has no mute button, and is very slow responding to the remote.The next CD player we buy will only do CD's and not DVD's as well. I want something that works well with the functions I need, without extras that I don't need - - - but that seem to interfere with its basic functions!We've had the system for a year now and, you've guessed it, are UNhappy. (I'll be sure to check out the reviews before my next purchase.) | 0negative

My 3rd Powershot
I got lucky with my very first digital camera; I bought the Canon Powershot A40 and haven't looked back. Now I'm upgrading for the 3rd time to the A75 (the A85 is just too much). Here's the amazing thing: with the last two PowerShots (A40 and A60), I took *over 5500* pictures and neither one coughed once. I sold the A40 6 months ago (after 4000 pics) and the current owner says it's still running like a champ. This line of digital cameras is the best thing going for the price. My Dad and brother both seem to insist on buying Nikon cameras. Then, every time we get together for the holidays, all I hear is "I wish my camera did that" or "Can I get a copy of your picture? It looks better." This camera sports features that even $400 cameras don't (I know, because I gave the other manufacturers an honest chance to get me to leave Canon this time, but they just couldn't offer anything comparable).Now, I'm no dummy when it comes to photography. I've been an SLR user for many, many years (currently, I have a Canon EOS Rebel). Unfortunately, digital SLR's are still too expensive. I bought the Powershot because of the full manual mode (I do a lot of astrophotography and this is perfect for it). I have total control over the settings. Combined with a 52mm lens adapter, this camera satisfies 90% of my SLR cravings. The pictures are consistently crisp and well exposed. I rarely encounter a situation where the PowerShot isn't able to rock and roll. Battery life is stunning. I routinely get 500 pictures with the LCD on and maybe 30% flash (I have 2100 mAh NiMHs). Added features such as 600x480 movies, a really sharp panoramic mode (photos are "stitched" together on the computer), manual white-balancing option, histograms, manual focus, aperture/shutter priority modes and PictBridge printing are icing on the cake.The one con I've found is that the Powershot line seems to perform a bit sluggishly in low-light conditions, often requiring a few seconds to get a decent reading.This really is THE best camera in its class(IMO and that of many "professional" reviewers). If you search for a certain price or megapixel resolution and a Powershot "A" line is included in the results, buy it. You won't be sorry at all. If you buy one of the others, you'll honestly pay too much. | 1positive

ok for dvd's
Install was fairly easy and the DVD player works well. The remote is hard to use as all the buttons feel the same and are arranged in a grid.If you plan to use the remote in the dark you need to turn on a light to see it first.The MP3 DVD/CD option is nice and the capacity to hold 1500 songs on a DVD is awesome. However the shuffle option is poor and it won't play songs listed higher than #250 during the shuffle. Even if you place the MP3's into folders it looks at all of them as they were loaded into one giant folder and stays below #250 during shuffle.The ability to play from an iPod and use the adapter works well.The touch screen has the ability to brighten and dim but the stereo face when the screen is closed is bright blue. It doesn't dim and is often distracting.All in all I like this product but think that it lacks a lot of the small things that would make it more user friendly. | 0negative

It worked fine.... for about one and half months
I purchased refurbshed version of this PDA from one of the marketplace seller, and I thought it was a good deal. Well,,, I have to admit that the PDA itself is awesome (very thin, light weight, palm os, reasonable memory, expansion slot, etc). However, the hotsync function suddenly failed after one and half of use. In my opinion, this pda doesn't worth a thing without the hoysync- writing schedule directly from PDA is one of the most annoying things EVER! ...P.S. those who are having the same problem, this might help.=> | 0negative

Pink Screen / Poor Customer Service
This is a nifty item, however I had a problem with it making my new iMac screen look pink (which I see was F. Lau's problem too).. It is good to note that no matter which lighting I used the screen calibration always came out the same (meaning it was reading the colors coming out of my monitor consistently). Bad to note though, that I emailed the tech people at Pantone and they never got back to me. I plan on returning this product unless I can get them by phone and they can fix it. They get one more chance. It might work fine on other monitors. If it happens to work on yours, I think it's a good product to get. | 0negative

Works great with Hardy Heron
I did a little research before I bought this item, but at the time there was little documentation on hardware support for Hardy Heron (Ubuntu 8.04). According to the documentation I looked at I would need to do some configuration, but the card would eventually work under Ubuntu 7.10. The laptop I'm using it in has no built in NIC and I don't have a compatible one, so I was planning on getting a wired NIC too in order to install any packages I would need to use the card. When it arrived, I plugged it in, just for kicks, and it worked without any configuration! I never bothered to buy a wired card. | 1positive

Have decided to give up on my DSC80
I am not sure about all the "positive" reviews on this camera. Maybe it is the particular one I have got, but I do see some very negative reviews. I grew up in a photo studio and know enough about cameras. Only ~1 out of 3 pictures I took with this camera turned out reasonably good. Majority of the pictures were blurry and grainy, sometimes even in well-lighted settings. Overall quality of the pictures are not nearly as good as my ancient Canon G2 (3 or 4 MP? I bought it 8 years ago, unfortunately battery died 2 years ago). What a waste of many cozy moments! I have decided to trash this piece of junk and get a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5, which I hope will work better. Don't think I can return my Sony to Office Depot since I bought it 9 months ago. | 0negative

4x Speeds Leave a Little to Be Desired
This TDK disk is an okay disk. Make sure you keep in mind that you can only write data to these disks, as audio does not play on all players. The write speeds could be a little better than 4x. However, it is an okay product for the price it's being offered at. | 1positive

love it
This is an awesome camera that takes great quality photos. It has a number of customizable feature if you want to explore them or you can use the automatic or preset modes and just point and click. The video isn't bad either. I bought a kingston 512mb sd card to go with it, and it holds 184 fine quality 5 mega pixel pictures before you have to download them or switch cards. Like all digital cameras your going to need to make use of a battery charger. This camera also has a traditional view finder hole in addition to the monitor, so you can center you subject even in bright sunlight.I bought this for Christmas 2006 and for the price (I paid slightly less $100) this camera surpassed every expectation I had. | 1positive

A wonderful portrait of true love
I cannot say enough about this book. He captures the meaning of true love. He digs deep and shows how an intimate relationship should be. We should all be so lucky to experience this kind of love in our lives. | 1positive

Genuine Nikon EN-EL5 Rechargeable Battery
Ordered [2] of these because the price was too hard to beat. Both took full charge and we'll see how they perform. At this point I am very satisfied with my purchase. Shipping took a little longer than I expected but it was not an immediate need so no complaints so far. | 1positive

Met my need
I borrowed a machine to transfer my old records to CD's. The discs I purchased did not work. The manufacturer's teckie said I needed a better quality music disc and suggested the Sony CD-R. This is what I ordered and they have worked beautifully. I now have recorded a number of my old favorite LPs on discs that I can listen to easily. | 1positive

Software Update
Cable is exactly as described, works as described.The included software (TI-Connect) is horrible. It supports Windows and OSX only (not a problem for most users). It only supports 64-bit operating systems in versions above 1.6.0 (2009). I could not get it to function properly on Windows 7 64-bit.Cable works fine, software not so much. | 0negative
