unit worked great for 3 weeks then video output failed . | 0 | negative |
the catch is that , while it plays movies just fine , it has refused to read second discs with the movie `` extras `` on them on the two occasions when i tried to do that . | 0 | negative |
the remote is a little hard to understand . | 0 | negative |
my jpeg pictures are viewable ( not so sharp and vivid ) on my 27 `` screen but seem not as clear as when i view them on my 17 `` monitor . | 0 | negative |
video output stopped working . | 0 | negative |
this was an awesome player , before the video output no longer worked ( after about 3 weeks ) . | 0 | negative |
what a disappointment ! . | 0 | negative |
there was occasionally a lip-sync issue ( the lips were n 't moving in time to the dialog ) . | 0 | negative |
output went black and white only via both s-video and composite connections , and with no v-hold . | 0 | negative |
p . s the remote control does seem to get confused at times and doesnt respond but it may be just operator error ? . | 0 | negative |
what the hell is wrong with this thing . | 0 | negative |
forget about the sleek looks if it can 't play some of your real dvds . | 0 | negative |
so now it still plays everything , you just can 't see it ! . | 0 | negative |
the first one we installed did n 't work , and our kids were devastated to say the least . | 0 | negative |
update : january 27th 2004 - the second one crapped out only after a week - dont buy this product ! . | 0 | negative |
i immediately had problems getting the player to recognize two of my favorite dvds . | 0 | negative |
only one disk played through to completion successfully . | 0 | negative |
when we tried to hook up the first one , it was broken - the motor would not eject discs or close the door . | 0 | negative |
when i tried to install the second dvd player in my brothers house , that one didn `` t work either ! . | 0 | negative |
imagine my shock - and absolute instant disdain for any products made by apex . | 0 | negative |
the ad-1600 did n 't work correctly from the start and the ad-1220 lasted about a week and a half before it started to act up . | 0 | negative |
the front door is miss aligned on my unit and you have to manually life it up just so slightly for the door to close , a very annoying thing after ah wile . | 0 | negative |
i can 't rate it one star only because when it does work it 's pretty good . | 0 | negative |
only owned it about two weeks so i expect we 're looking at getting another progressive scan dvd player of higher quality very soon . | 0 | negative |
the player kept displaying `` no disc `` , so i tried the disc in another machine and sure as @ # * ! . | 0 | negative |
5 ) this apex model 2600 will not work with my universal remote control . | 0 | negative |
finally you will read a post somewhere that all codes are useless for the apex 2600 . | 0 | negative |
one still works fine , the other quit after one day . | 0 | negative |
apex 's website is down and they wo n 't answer their phone . | 0 | negative |
it seems to be a little slow when identifying a new disc that 's inserted - maybe 10 seconds of wait . | 0 | negative |
when i hooked it up it only produced sound - a cd played fine , but with a dvd i only got the audio - no picture ! . | 0 | negative |
seemed like a good deal , but this pps frequently can not recognize dvds and music cds -- takes a long time loading and then concludes , `` no disc `` . | 0 | negative |
granted , i have only used this dvd player for about 2 hours setting it up for my mom for christmas , but that was long enough for me to find problems with this dvd player . | 0 | negative |
this is extremely lame . | 0 | negative |
the remote is flimsy-feeling and awkward to use . | 0 | negative |
in addition , it only seems to work if you 're about five feet away from the player , although that may have been just the batteries that came with it . | 0 | negative |
it played only one out of three dvd 's without problems , the other two being afflicted by a number of glitches . | 0 | negative |
both of the problem dvd 's would repeatedly freeze during playback , while the counter on the player kept going . | 0 | negative |
i was impressed by this very inexpensive player . for the first three hours , and then it died . | 0 | negative |
there are a couple of quirks that were a bit annoying like having to actually press the power button before the tray will open ( my perv . machine did it automatically ) , and the fact that the external display is too small and too faded to read from any significant distance . | 0 | negative |
i try navigating using the player 's built in menu , and it still would n 't work ! . | 0 | negative |
unfortunately , the player would not read any of my region one dvds . even though they were not damaged in any way . | 0 | negative |
i called apex 's support number numerous times but it just kept ringing . | 0 | negative |
the one i purchased for a friend as a gift will not read any dvd disc . | 0 | negative |
however , it has failed to deliver on quality . | 0 | negative |
it does not only have difficulty playing jpegs , it even has trouble properly playing dvd movies . | 0 | negative |
i read in consumer reports that apex is a reliable brand , but with my experience and reading the other reviews , i think i will be doing a little more homework before considering another apex product . | 0 | negative |
the 2600 had false silver plate instead of play display . | 0 | negative |
however , it does not play windows media and i can not get it to play any of my dix rips . | 0 | negative |
* main dial is not backlit . | 0 | negative |
the lens is visible in the viewfinder when the lens is set to the wide angle , but since i use the lcd most of the time , this is not really much of a bother to me . | 0 | negative |
1 ) quite bulky ( it 's about the same size as my minolta vectors s-1 aps slr ) and uses a heavy battery , although not very solid as it is contracted mostly of plastic ( unlike canon 's elph line ) | 0 | negative |
2 ) not very ergonomically - you 'll find even for a point-and-shoot lens ) | 0 | negative |
4 ) the viewfinder is bordered lcd skying . | 0 | negative |
the only two minor issues i have with the camera are the lens cap ( it is not very snug and can come off too easily ) and the lens itself ( it partially obstructs the view through the viewfinder but not views through the lcd ) . | 0 | negative |
the only drawback is the viewfinder is slightly blocked by the lens . | 0 | negative |
b ) the lens cover is surely loose , i already accidently finger-printed the len a few times , and au lens ti gt and cause potential damage . | 0 | negative |
maybe it is my lack of experience , but i found shots with this camera very disappointing . | 0 | negative |
it was ( i sold it after a few months ) too expensive for the shots that i got . | 0 | negative |
sure it had all the features , but when i tried to shoot a girl 's basketball game it just wan 't up to the task . | 0 | negative |
i found that low light situations combined with any sort of action left this camera in the dust . | 0 | negative |
the grain was terrible . | 0 | negative |
well flash photos are never great , and there was still a lot of noise . | 0 | negative |
the two limitations i knew i would have to deal with are the very long lag time before it focus-locks ( even in bright light ) , and the unsatisfactory light quality of the built-in flash . | 0 | negative |
now there is one more complaint i have about the g3 and that is the software that comes with it for processing raw images ( i only shoot in raw image mode and the first thing i did was replace the 32 mbyte cf with a 512 mbyte cf , which gives me 130 raw images , as opposed to 7 ! . | 0 | negative |
the canon software for raw images does not present you with a raw image at all , but the raw image after it has been processed by all the image-affecting settings in the camera . | 0 | negative |
about the only legitimate criticism from the online reviews is that fact that the lens really does obstruct the viewfinder . | 0 | negative |
the g3 had problems focusing in low light and would not take the picture when the shutter was pressed but after the shutter had been released a few seconds . | 0 | negative |
it sometimes takes the picture at some indefinite period of time after you press the shutter button . | 0 | negative |
unfortunately , this digital moment-capturing device called the g3 sometimes captures the moment after the one you wanted . | 0 | negative |
1 ) the included lens cap is very loose on the camera . | 0 | negative |
2 ) the body construction - buttons , casing , etc , are too plastic . | 0 | negative |
it had a heavier and more sturdy casing . | 0 | negative |
one little minor flaw with this camera is that the lens is visible in the viewfinder , but does not detract from the image at all . | 0 | negative |
you can see the lens barrel in the view-finder . | 0 | negative |
( i knew this before hand , and it is not that bad ) there is no tiff format . | 0 | negative |
one bad thing is that it comes with a pitiful 32mb compactflash card , and for most purposes , it is not enough . | 0 | negative |
the included memory card is too small . | 0 | negative |
it is made of plastic . | 0 | negative |
the zoom lens unit feels fragile and it is worth buying a good camera bag if you are going put to carry it round a lot . | 0 | negative |
while light , it will not easily go in small handbags or pockets . | 0 | negative |
the function lever - the one which switches between capture and view mode feels fragile . | 0 | negative |
flash - as with all built-in flashes in small cameras , you get over illuminated main subjects with depth being lost . | 0 | negative |
the strap is horrible and gets in the way of parts of the camera you need access to . | 0 | negative |
when you look through the viewfinder ( not the lcd ) the bottom left corner of the picture ( about 15 % ) is blocked by the lens . | 0 | negative |
i 've been bothered by blown-out highlights on the s330 , and the g3 seems to do only slightly better . | 0 | negative |
the on-off button feels somewhat flimsy , and has an awkward , tiny little lock-out button that needs to be depressed to turn on the camera . | 0 | negative |
and the body / construction in general has quite a bit of plastic , a disappointment after the stainless steel heft of the s330 . | 0 | negative |
the only minor nits i have with the camera are it is fairly boxy looking , it needs a wrist strap instead of a neck strap , and it is a bit slow between shots . | 0 | negative |
when i went to put in the new sd card i looked at the lcd screen -- cracked -- and the fluid gave a jackson pollock type appearance to the screen , black and blue and purple blotches and streaks -- useless . | 0 | negative |
some more manual control would have been nice . | 0 | negative |
the only knock i have is that the flash is underpowered . | 0 | negative |
after 57 pictures total the lcd went black except for the icons showing the settings . | 0 | negative |
you can set the optical zoom before shooting and than while shooting video adjust a digital zoom in and out however due to the cameras light weight camera shake is a problem to contend with . | 0 | negative |
i would imagine this is a problem with any camera of a compact nature . | 0 | negative |
the sound is not loud enough when i play back the video clips on the camera . | 0 | negative |
only downside is when taking pictures in low-light conditions without the flash . | 0 | negative |
the sd500 has only been in my possession for a little over 3 months , and the lcd has been broken twice . | 0 | negative |
i took it out one day and the lcd was not working . | 0 | negative |
although the sd500 takes great quality photos , the sensitivity of the lcd compromises the quality overall . | 0 | negative |
