I would recommend
The canon camera case is wonderful. It definitely protects the camera if you put it in your purse/bag. Leather on the outside and soft on the inside with very stiff and sturdy sides to prevent damage. Does not look cheap at all. | 1positive

Cable was defective, wasted my time.
Well, there isn't much to say... I purchased one of the 5 Meter cables, and it absolutely did not work. There was no visible damage to it, so I had no reason to suspect that it had any defect, but it most certainly did. I tried it with three different Macs, connecting a Lexmark printer. None of the Macs even acknowledged that it was connected. Rubbish.I suppose this is trivia, but it was particularly aggravating for me... as I paid for overnight shipping, and made a trip to a client's house specifically to hook up their printer. I wasted time carefully running the cable along the wall, concealing it a bit so as to be tidy... only to find that it did not work, and to have to remove it. I wasted shipping fees, time, and gasoline (driving to client's home). Further, it was a bit embarrassing. Of course, I'm offered a refund if I return it- I have it back in the box, with its return label and such... and it has sat next to my desk for weeks now, underneath a pile of vastly more important things that need doing. I obviously don't feel terribly motivated to make a trip to the UPS store to drop off a package, so as to receive a refund of $4.50... suppose I'll get to it soon. | 0negative

Works but flakey
As other reviewers have noted, it is tough to set up. If you have set up other wireless products and have some patience, you'll get it done, but it is a pain.However, once set up, it flakes out a lot. I have to power-cycle it almost every day. It will be working just fine one second and the next, I have full connection strength but no packets flowing through. I have set up a power strip under my desk so that I can power-cycle with a tap of my foot.Perhaps there is a firmware update that solves the problem, but I haven't bothered to check. | 0negative

Not as great as it's made out to be
I didn't know that there were so many versions of this thing until I bought one. I've ended up with cases for iPod nano's that wont fit the one that I have because I didn't know they had different generations of them. This one has a video screen but it doesn't play videos, found that out too late also.It doesn't take much to make this thing lockup or freeze up. And then it's hard to get it working again. Overall if I had a chance to do it over again I definitely would NOT buy this one for my first iPod. | 0negative

Not compatible with Optura Pi
I tried this battery twice with the optura Pi. First time I thought it was a defective battery and sent it back. After the replacement exhibited the same problems I contacted sunpac. It works, but you don't know how long it will last because it doesn't interface with the battery meter function in the camera. Similarly, you won't know when it is charging. They think it is because this battery has slightly more power.Go with the Canon battery, you get what you pay for. | 0negative

Poor Quality
Initially this headset worked well for listening and recording. However, after only six months, the ear pieces started to disconnect from the head band. Not what I would expect from a product costing almost $100. | 0negative

A useless piece of junk
This Wireless USB can't even reach 75 feet from one Gateway XP with 512gb to another. Both computers are in excellent condition and up to date, using a Linksys wireless router. The fastest connection speed? 18kbps. Zoom zoom zoom.Do NOT waste your money on this. Get a brand name instead. I regret making this purchase and have learned a hard lesson. | 0negative

Yuck
This is a remarkable piece of junk. It freezes up after most songs and the play button popped out of mine. You should avoid products made by this no-name company. Their customer service was also a complete waste of time. Avoid, avoid, avoid products by Classic. | 0negative

Excellent reception
Great reception from this antenna - it's mounted in a basement utility room (on the 'wrong' side on the furnace/water heater) approx 25 miles from the broadcast towers, and pulls in all the channels with a 'full signal' on my TV. I was expecting to have to mount it in an attic or outside, but it works great where it is.Only downside is there is only one mounting clamp which would make me apprehensive if I did have to mount it outside. Also the included Balon will only work if you are crimping your own connector/cable. The instructions were also hard to read, but assembly was fairly straightforward.Excellent product for the price, especially when compared with the Antennas Direct DB2 | 1positive

Good sound, poor design quality.
I bought these because I wanted something affordable, with decent sound quality, and something that would be good to use while running/working out. These were great...for about 15 minutes. The 2nd time I put them into my ear the piece of plastic on the outside of the right earbud popped off. It was just cosmetic, but annoying it happened literally the 2nd time I used them.I got used to the "twist" concept just fine. The buds have an extra node on them fits into a fold in the ear to keeps the buds very secure in your ear. It also improves the sound quality since it positions itself just right in your ear. It works fine for me - although I have never had a problem with earbuds falling out of my ear before. But it does get uncomfortable after a long while.So the real problems started within 1 week of having these. On the nodes for the "twist" mechanism is a tiny piece of plastic padding - used for comfort since a piece of plastic is pressed into your ear. The padding on both buds popped off and is gone. So now they are quite uncomfortable to wear. They are very tiny, so once they fall out good luck finding them.Around the each bud is a ring of plastic used to keep the speaker portion inside the bud casing - on both buds that plastic ring has fallen off. After that the mesh front to the left speaker fell off, since the retainer ring was gone. If I use them anymore, the right one will soon fall out also.What these are are headphones with nice sound quality and a unique design that are rather poor in quality. I have taken care of these in the short few weeks I have had them, so there is no excuse for them to fall apart so quickly. Plus these are a sport design - they are supposed to be more rugged that normal ear-buds. My iPod earbuds and other cheap $10 head phones all out lasted these. I am rather disappointed. | 0negative

Noise maker
One month in the wall and sounds like a expresso machine. My car's engine sounds better. Don't waste your money. I called Sharp and they say is the fan. Great, maybe I should remove it and use ice cubes. | 0negative

So Handy!
This USB-convertable memory card is so handy to have around. I never have to use my camera's cable or wear down my camera battery transferring photos to my computer. Also, if I'm visiting a friend, it's easy to share photos that I've taken with them. I highly recommend this card! | 1positive

Poor - No reception at all
1st I had trouble turning it on. I realized you have to have the volume of your MP3 player about middle volume or more. (Or press and hold both buttons for 2 seconds - not obvious.) Then I could not get a signal at all on my home boombox. I only wanted to listen to audio books, but the only way I could hear any music at all was to place the device so that it was touching the attenae, at the very end, and even then it had a lot of static. It had brand new batters from the package too! I'm returning it. I live in NYC. | 0negative

Perfect for hikers/skiers or any outdoor activity
Works just like it says it does!. A must have for outdoor junkies! Have used it on a backpacking trip where there was nobody but my girlfriend, me and the dog and the dog is not trained to take pics yet. We got some beautiful pics of us together that we would not have been able to without it. It stood up like a regular tripod on uneven surfaces great and it held the camera on the smallest of branched. One of the links did pop out of socket when I tried to bend it to far but it easily popped right back in. Now I have a very small/lightweight camera (Sony cybershot tx-10)and it supported it great. Don't think it would hold up to a big camera. Very lightweight and compact for packing also. | 1positive

20 plus 6 dollars shipping = I paid way too much
this isn't a BAD product, but it is still a rip-off There simply isn't enough materials/workmanship that went into this to justify the cost - it's a square of plastic with rubber pads on top - that's it, no more, no less. I trusted the scores of positive reviews here on Amazon, and I got burned. If it cost what it should, $12.99 all told, it'd be worth it. | 0negative

Poor quality photos indoors and out!
This camera takes very poor quality pictures indoors and out. The indoor flash photos are bleached out and the outdoor ones are usually blurry. It takes too long to take a photo and too long to recover. The only types of pictures it is good for are those where you can pose your subjects outdoors in perfecct light. I find that the disposable cameras do much better. Kodak did not respond to my comlpaints or requests even after I completed their e-mail survey that was several pages long and took 20 minutes. They also did not respond to my e-mail. I would have given it 0 stars if that were an option. | 0negative

The BEST way to organize receipts
I have a serious problem with receipts. First of all, I can't throw them out. What if I have to return something?? So, my handbag is full of receipts, old and new. Then, when I need to return something, I can't find the one I'm looking for. Never fails. This cool little scanner solves all of my problems. Now, after shopping, I come home, empty my purse, scan my receipts and throw them all out...except for the ones that have a high probability of a return. Those I save until I'm sure I'm happy with the product. Still, if I ever need to return it or take a look at my receipt, all I have to do is pull it up on Neat Receipts. The scanner works amazingly well on receipts that are faded or wrinkled. A lot of the times the image recognition software doesn't read the information correctly - it doesn't recognize debit payments and always puts them in as cash. It's very easy to correct errors, so it's no big deal. I have different folders set up for different stores that I go to a lot. Then I have general folders for food stores, clothing stores, shoe stores, etc. I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!! The other day a friend asked me how much an item cost that I bought at Sam's Club. I brought up the program, went to my Sam's club folder, and quickly found the receipt. It has a place to check off if it's a tax deduction and even asks you the form number. Now all of my receipts are organized and I'll never be fishing through my handbag looking for that one stupid receipt that I can't find. BUY IT!! | 1positive

Works like a charm
The Cables To Go 7 Port Hub works as expected. i went with this product because it can be used with or without the AC power. I prefer having the AC power connected when I am charging a device using the usb (like my iPod). w/out the AC power the hub emits a noise when the ipod's connected (i am guessing due to the excess power drainage).My only criticism is that there is no way to stick the aluminium base to a desk (it can be screwed in). There is also the blue light that is quite bright, though you can cover it up using some cloth/paper. | 1positive

Great little DVD player
We've had ours for 9 months now and are VERY happy with it. It's gets quite a bit of use and is still going strong. My only con for this player is the remote: I don't think it is the most user-friendly I've ever seen, but it is functional. We are very pleased with it. | 1positive

stupidity at its best
ipods are the leading sellers of portable players and everybody knows that but guess what ipod does not support the leading and best quality video format divx and avi hmm thats kinda retarded no? if any of you out there use file sharing programs such as limewire or any torrent programs if u download any of those videos the best ones and the majority are divx and avi too bad for you unless ur willing to sit around for an hour or two and convert your video to mpeg4. Also the video you convert may have a few complications, the audio and video may not be sychronized...at all and for those of you who have already purchased this piece of garbage im sorry and i have great sympathy for you so if ud like a program that will convert ur video for free and results in pretty good quality go to download.com and search for jodix video converter. This is not from speculations I have experienced this all myself with my own purchase of the video ipod and was a decision i regreted. Suggestion check out the creative zen vision M sure it may be thicker but the price is amazing for its features and conveniences of transfering files into it. | 0negative

I never received this item.
I did not receive this item as of 2-13-10. The local post office said that they could not prove that the package was delivered, and said that they did not care, there was nothing they could do for me. I emailed the Jay at Citi electronics and he said that they would reship the order but as of yet I have not received it. | 0negative

Nice Set of Coasters
I was excited to start using my DVD burner after filming my family reunion, and creating a production to burn. Of the first 5 DVD+RW's that I bought, 4 of them worked with the last one hanging up about 15 minutes into the DVD.I had another project going so I bought some more of Memorex's DVD+RW's, and out of the 10, 1 worked. The other 9 locked up my computer, or weren't even recognised by my computer as proper media! If you look online, you will see that many people have problems with these DVD's and there are message boards devoted exclusively to this product!I would not suggest these. However, I have also used Verbatim DVD+RW's extensively with no problems and would highly recommend them instead of Memorex. Apparently there's a reason Memorex is the cheapest DVD on the shelf. | 0negative

I love Sirius but their hardware is garbage.
I really enjoy the programming, Howard mainly, but the music, BBC and comedy too. This is now my ninth Sirius hardware purchase since I joined Sirius when Howard finally started b'casting a few yrs back. Three Starmates, a couple Stratus, and four home docks. After just three yrs in w/ Sirius, in these modern times (it's 2008!!!), you'd think the first radio and the first dock would still be humming along and working fine. NO! After just three short yrs I now have three useless/broken radios and two useless/broken docks! Plus the 'working' radio and dock I using now...... plus a radio and dock as a back-up. More e-waste headed to Red China.Gee I haven't had to buy a 'back-up' for my big flat screen Sony! Go figure. I wonder why?I'm near a big city so I've never had the recp problem many other reviewers have. I can pretty much aim any of the 100 Sirius ant I now own (!!!) any which way and I'll get an 80-100% signal.No problem w/ Sirius on that front for me.This review is of the product in Q, the SUPH-1 home dock. As it should be.First I have a problem having to pay $50+ extra to HEAR my $100 radio!That said, the failure point for all the broken home docks so far has been the ant connection on the back of the dock base. The unit stays put in ONE location on a shelf 100% of the time connected to my stereo receiver/amp w/ the inc'd cable, but both times the ant connection on the dock broke loose! Broke loose. Pulled completely OUT!?!?! The dock and the cable NEVER move! They don't get wiggled about at all after the inital connection! There's an inch of dust on the cable!If, like me, you can't stand missing a min of Howard in the early morning, I strongly suggest you always have a spare radio AND dock in the closet. Not just in case, but because within days of it going out of warranty, IT WILL FAIL!Sirius....please quit doing biz w/ the lowest Red Chinese bidder. Maybe pick the second lowest Red Chinese bidder. Maybe they will pay their workers a whole $1.50 per day.While your at it, how about 'stealing' some product designers and engs from Apple? Your hardware really looks blah.I do like Howard tho. But when he goes, prob so will I. Babba Booey, Babba Booey! | 0negative

works great software a little funny
the rio itself works great, battery in it lasts a long time. the software has minor catches and sometimes i have to reboot the computer for the karma to be reconized in the rio software. sent a email to rio support few weeks ago, no reply yet. I can live with it, the karma was a perfect replacement for an older rio 500 I had. | 1positive

Attractive, expensive, paperweight.
Have had this player for about a year and it has never worked properly. More often than not the software used for loading and organizing files does not see the Zen when it is connected. This despite the fact that windows does see it. On the rare occasion that it does successfully connect the Zen and the computer software freeze up before I can load more than a couple of dozen songs. I have gone through all the steps Creative recommends in order to correct this all the way down to editing registry files. I would give this zero stars if I could. | 0negative

Firmware/Software Issues
I received this unit and the first thing I got when I loaded a Blu-Ray disc was a "This disc cannot be played" message. I updated the firmware from Samsung's site and loaded using the CD method. After the upgrade I still receive this message. Tried a second Blu-Ray movie and get the same message. Standard DVDs work fine, but the Blu-Ray movies just give me the same message. Samsung's tech support could only offer the firmware solution (which I've already tried), and told me to call back to "Level 2" tech support. Anyone else have similar issues? If so, how did you get past them? I'm sure the player is a great purchase, I just can't get past this initial problem. | 0negative

shoots in very low light
I have this camera and the quality of the pictures it takes are astounding.I live in Nashville Tennessee and take alot of pictures of aspiring songwriters when they play in clubs this camera takes great professional photos under stage lighting without a flash.you can hand hold it and still get sharp professional images;even when the lighting is low it still performs well.I have had mine a year and had no trouble with it.I also use it to take astounding outdoor pictures of nature;this camera will make you look like a professional photographer.It takes xd,compactflash,and smartmedia cards and can write images between the xd and smart media slot and the compactflashcard slot.It can shoot from the program mode(good for beginers)and can be used fully manual so you can tweak every setting.I am not a techno geek but I found the menues easy to follow.You can start as a beginner and develope your skill as you learn to use it.you can also shoot two different pictures on one frame which comes in handy when taking pictures for inventory. I have no regrets about buying this camera. | 1positive

It all comes down to Time
Purchased this Battery in October, 2009, as a back up. It was installed late November, 2009 and Died early March 2010. This time I found a Panasonic battery for my Panasonic phone for half the price. Time will tell if it will last any longer, but it could not be any worse, and if it is the same, it cost me 1/2 the price..... I can not recommend this battery | 0negative

Erratic issues with keyboard and mouse
Bought this USB hub with a Microsoft USB keyboard/mouse combo at NewEgg. Unfortunately NewEgg doesn't allow many negative reviews so I'm writing it here. Anyone reading this can go to NewEgg's product page for this hub and read similar issues I've discovered.Connected both to this USB hub. The mouse would sometimes register double clicks when there was a single click. The keyboard sometimes repeatedly typed a single character across the screen when I only pressed a key once. Other times I knew I pressed one key but registered as a completely different key press on the screen.High heat issue as others have reported could be causing these errors. I wouldn't trust connecting a storage device of any kind to this hub as critical data could be corrupted.With this hub being so cheap, returning with paid shipping may not be worth the hassle.It's always good to order brand name computer products (e.g. Belkin or Adaptec USB hubs) even if they cost more but guarantees to work. | 0negative

Excellent!
I have to scan medical documents, sometimes 4 or 5 at a time, to .pdf. Interfacing with Acrobat 6 was a problem at first, but Acrobat 6 Prof and Standard have an update, 6.0.2, and after that, I had no problems. This machine is FAST. Zip, zip, zip! Done! The software interface is simple and unobtrusive. I use a program, MacroExpress, to facilitate the process,and this is the only software I've used (two others so far) that adapts almost pefectly. The warmup time was a problem for me in the past. I dictate reports, then attach other documents to the finished products. If one inserts the sone-to-be scanned documents in the scanner as one is nearing completion, it warms up, and by the time I'm ready to scan, it's over in a matter of seconds. I spent a significant amount of time searching for the best if not perfect scanner. This is it.The product support was friendly and good, and I didn't have to wait too long to talk with someone when I was having trouble with the Acrobat 6 interface. Coming from a flatbed scanner without auto document feeding, I feel like the ape in the beginning of 2001 Space Oddessy, my leg bone just morphed into a space station. | 1positive

Excellent Plasma for under $3000.00
This viewsonic T.V. is great as long as you know how to hook it up. Unlike regular T.V.'s if you hook up to this T.V. using the Coax Cable the picture will be awful. Now if you hook up using the S-Video, Componet, or Composite Video the picture will be perfect. That's why Plasma's are considered monitors instead of T.V.'s What the cable and satilite companies don't tell you is that you 50% of signal strength when you use the coax cable hook-up, or what others call the RF adapter. Regular T.V.'s can make up for this signal loss plasma's can't. So for all you out there do some research before you buy a Plasma. | 1positive

pure over rated junk.
well i traded for a set of these about a month ago and was not pleased with them they were never over powered before i got them there were on a 400 watt dual amp so i figured i would see if they would handle some power I've got a older Sony Xplod 1200 watt amp and bridge it because these are supposed to be 1600 watt they are way off i had the amp half on the gain with both voice coils active and could not get to 25 on my pioneer head unit with out them smoking and it goes to like 45 or so. | 0negative

Problems with TiVo
I have an older series 2 TiVo that has been working great with a Linksys WUSB12 for a couple years. I just installed the D-Link DWL-G120 adapter and it installed just fine. There were no problems. It connects to the TiVo service with no errors. Then I tried to transfer a recorded program to my PC. The transfer rate is a slow 2 Mbps. The signal quality is excellent. (It's only 15 ft distance) This is half the speed of the WUSB12 B adapter. I was hoping for greater speed using the D-link G adapter. However, the real problem is disturbing. When I start the transfer it causes the TiVo to restart. That's right. The TiVo restarts over and over. It begins to slowly transfer the file and restarts the TiVo within a few minutes. After many tries, I put the Linksys WUSB12 back in and all is normal. | 0negative

Disappointed
There's a reason this sells for 72% below retail: It's worth about 72% of other burners.Two burners ago I had a Memorex, and loved it. It eventually gave up the ghost and was replaced by a Sony, which wasn't as nice, but did the job. It died last week and this unit is its replacement.To be even, the two previous were 18x burners, while this new one is a 20x. The media I am using are quality Sony DVDs, 18x. Somehow, burning with this new Memorex takes almost twice as long. This and my previous two units are all external USB drives, plugged in to the same port directly on the PC itself. There's no reason for the throughput to be as abysmal as it is, yet all factors remaining constant (not changing media, burning software, etc) it burns an 18x disc in almost *twice* the time of the old Sony and the original Memorex. For new technology to behave poor compared to drives from 5+ years ago is just unacceptable.If you're looking for a cheap replacement or an in-a-pinch stand in, sure. Otherwise, it's not a high quality product. I don't know how they ever charged *more* than $40 for this. | 0negative

so little results
I ordered this product mainly because of so many good reviews, and it is sad to tell you that it does not work like they say, in some of the circuits I have used it will make it even worse, some will have an insignificant drop in temp. and so far nothing like the results this people describe, I guess I'll have to use the exact same systems they are writting about to have those result, so far it is just as good/bad as some other cheaper products on the market, I'll keep looking! | 0negative

Channel button qualifies as a manufacturing defect!
I bought a pair of FRS 104's for a recent trip to wine country and was quite disappointed. The channel button has NO LOCK, and is large and easy to bump (i.e. accidentally change). This flaw rendered the FRS 104 virtually unusable! You can't put this radio in your purse or pocket and still stay in touch. You can't even casually pick it up to carry on a conversation without the danger of inadvertant channel changes. I e-mailed Cobra about this, but was snubbed and told to take it up with my retailer. Fortunately Lowe's has a great exchange policy and I'm now the proud owner of 2 Motorola T6220's-for a mere 13 dollars more. I would NOT recommend this product to anyone. No way, No how. | 0negative

a little coaxe goes a long way
Instead of getting a converter box for the bedroom, we opted to run a cable from the satellite receiver in the living room to the old TV in the bedroom. I didn't want cable snaking all over the floor so we drilled holes in the floors and ran it underneath the hose. Our temperatures are extreme and I wanted a good quality cable rated for outdoor use. This fit the bill perfectly, was an excellent value, and arrived quickly. | 1positive

AWFUL customer support!
I was able to get the internet radio features of this unit up and running with little trouble, but ran into a snag when I tried to install the feature that allows the unit to play mp3s from your computer hard drives.Although the web site promised a macintosh version, I discovered only after buying and registering the unit that there is none posted. There's even a link on their web site that says "click here to download the PC Link software for macintosh" but it leads to nothing.Over the past 10 days, I've been on the phone 3 times with philips customer support, and it is clear that their representatives have little or no experience with the products they are in charge of. Really quite shocking for a company with Philips' generally good reputation. After this 3rd call, they have promised once again to "call me back," but I have little confidence that they will.I still haven't received an answer to my question, but I'll post a new review if I ever do. Right now, I'm stuck with a machine that only does 1/2 of what it promised.---The update, as promised:I returned this stereo to Amazon after Philips still couldn't address my question and the 30 days were up. Interestingly, I have noticed that Philips has removed one of the links on www.streamium.com that promises a Macintosh download. However, the site is still chock full of references to a Macintosh version, and is a blatant case of false advertising. | 0negative

good night's rest
This is the most comfortable air bed I've ever owned.Its 18 inches tall,including the pillow part,so you can keep it less than fully inflated,which is the best way to do it since the bed then conforms nicely to your body.The built in air pump is easy and fast.I think its a best buy at even a higher price. | 1positive

For Magellan 3225
I purchased this case hoping that it would fit my Magellan 3225. It does not. Do not buy this item for the Megallan 3225. It is about 1/2 inch too wide and does not provide any protection on the sides. A complete waste of money. | 0negative

Best Buy
I was very reluctant to buy this item. I could not figure out how it would work from the picture. After receiving it I could not be more pleased. The little ball-like extension that you see is so that it can charge while on the mount. Cool! I drive on some very bumpy streets and have to take some serious curves and it never moves. My kids don't have to hold it! I don't have to look down while I drive. Heaven!Do not be put off any longer. Buy it and hide it under your seat when you get out of the car. This is great!!!Nuvi & StreetPilot Mount | 1positive

Fantastic learner
I am an amateur photographer, but was looking for something I could also "learn" with if I wanted to. It has been perfect for this. Point and shoot functionality is very good. If you go through the manual and learn some of the basic features (exposure meter) you almost can't snap a bad picture. Picture quality is superb. | 1positive

Skeptics lose out
For years my music sounded plain. The strings did not shimmer. The soundstage was narrow, confined, compressed. The music had an analytical feel, perhaps because it's all digital, and digital is not musical.The problem, I decided was that my bits were not musical. It's hard to say why. I suspect that the bits had too many odd harmonics, and not enough even harmonics.This cable apparently filters the bits to create more pleasing harmonics.Is $500 a lot to pay for pleasing harmonics? | 0negative

Stay Away from this "BAD" TECHNOLOGY Product!
If your thinking of purchasing the SoundsGood Player, stay away. GOOD Technology no longer supports it's own player and have gone on to the two way pager systems business(i.e., Blackberry clones). So if your looking for s/w upgrade you'll be seriously out of luck. I've had the Sounds Good Player for about 2 years (being ultra busy), I have reserved my judgement until now. First off, I had problems from the start because I did not have a USB port or Windows 2000 (so the unit was unused for about 4-6 months). Once I got a new pc, it worked for a little while but was very buggy. Freezing during transfers and random blue screens of death etc.I even upgraded the Palm OS a couple of times (for the Visor prism.) The player hardly plays at all and gets hung on the device everytime I try to play it. The only time it may work is when I synch it with my pc and then listen to it immediately thereafter. The whole purpose of this device is to be PORTABLE and not chained to the workstation. I recommend this item as a door stop! | 0negative

American DJ DP-415 Channel Dmx Dimmer Pack
The Dp-415 is a great choice for all your DJ or church lighting needs. We use these in our church for all our lighting. We just purchased one more to add to our mix. The others I have had for about 5 years now and have had no problems with them. Do keep in mind that you should not use DYS bulbs. Theses bulbs will blow out quickly and take out the fuses inside the device. (the fuses are easily replaced but becomes a hassle after several times). I would recommend to anyone wanting to have complete control of your lighting system to buy this item. You will need a DMX controller and cables or remote DMX controllers. We use all par cans. This Dimmer pack allows for 500 watts per channel with 4 channels(two plugs per channel). The five star rating fits the product as it has preformed just as advertised and more. Would I recommend this to a friend, absolutely. The setup is easy, just read the instructions. | 1positive

PoGo MoGo Logo Soho
Rejoice laptop users, for a transportable bluetooth mouse has emerged in the market! The Bluetooth MoGo mouse fits perfectly in the PCI slot for your laptops (well, unless you don't have one). Not only does this count as storage, but it also duals as a charger for this wireless device.Function-wise, the mouse is perfect. The computer perfectly syncs with bluetooth and responds well with little to no lag. It's not as exact or sensitive as a laser mouse, but it's still good.Overall, I like the product and my brother likes it more, since it's his now. I'd recommend it for someone using it for laptop uses. It's more for navigation then gaming and photoshop, so don't expect stellar performance. | 1positive

Excellent Product - Some Idiosyncracies
Love the My Book Premium drives. I own three 500GB versions - this is my first 1 TB drive.I work in entertainment doing 3d animation and compositing so I thought I would give this a whirl in the RAID 0 configuration.Here's what I found:Noise: NOT a problem. The Fan is virtually silent and the unit only sounds like a little hovercraft taking off for 5 seconds or so on start up. After that it is Ninja-like in it's stealth.Using WD My Book RAID Manager: I have the drives plugged into a PCI 1394 controller card. The My Book Raid Manager utility that allows you to change the raid configuration and such will not work with such a set up. You have to plug the drive into an available USB port connected directly to the motherboard. Then you can change the RAID. After you have configured it the way you want then you can plug the unit back into the 1394 card to take advantage of the speed of the 800 interface. You won't have to configure the RAID very often - only once to get the one you want - but not knowing how to do it is frustrating - took an hour to get through the support chain to an answer. (very excellent support I might add- and free for 30 days after purchase)Sleep: the drive goes to sleep after 10 minutes of non-activity - with a soft transition time starting after a few minutes. I found this to be a problem because I am working in 3D software and have my autosave/backup setting at 5 minutes. If you do any 3d you know why this is. So what I found was that my saves were taking 3 to 4 times normal and slowing down my productivity big-time because I had to wait for the drive to 'wake up'. The tech I talked to said that there was no way to change the setting and that they were working on a firmware update. If it wasn't for my specific use of the product in this way the spin up time is very acceptable and not a problem for most users.All in all these drives are extremely reliable. I've had my first 3 for 2 years and never had a problem - and I hammer them pretty hard with large file transfers and huge HD res image files.Duane Loose | 1positive

great in every way except very small screen
I recently purchased this player at CC for 219 after rebate. It measures up in every way except one. The small screen size. I was very impressed with the quality of the build, the image, the sound, the controls, but I have a hard time enjoying movies or jpgs on such a small screen. I am a big Toshiba fan. I had a chance to try the 7" Toshiba. This little Panasonic player seemed far superior in evry way. I just can't get be happy with a small screen. I will wait for the release of the new Panasonic 7" | 1positive

Product shipped before its time
I had great hopes for this product, being a fan of HP printers, but have been disappointed on all fronts. I purchased it to archive 8mm tapes to DVD, create backups to DVD and to create special DVDs of the kids to give to grandparents. I've had the unit for nearly 2 months and have had numerous problems. I have had some success in creating DVDs of entire tapes but have yet to successfully create a "project" using the Showbiz software (after numerous attempts and reinstalls of the software). Arcsoft provides NO support for the product (they never reply to email sent to their support group; the other contact option is US Mail). HP's support is also marginal. Documentation is very poor. There is a major bug with the integration between the drive and Showbiz that is documented on the HP site: "ShowBiz 2 encounters error during authoring stage while writing a disk with DC3000". Apparently a patch is in the works but "is not available at this time." I'd suggest that HP recall the unit, complete the testing process that they obviously did not complete the first time, and re-release. I would also suggest that HP consider bundling a different video editing software with the product. Arcsoft was a poor choice. | 0negative

As much fun as a fork stuck in your ear
I bought these just to try them out for the heck of it, based on the reviews here. Although I own Westone UM2 in-ear monitors and Etymotic ER4s as well, good sounding earbuds for cheap is still something I'm interested in.The bass of these JVC buds is respectable, but the mid-range is harsh and almost painful if you're used to high quality sound. You may find some mixes they sound good with, but I sure didn't find any.Everyone's entitled to an opinion, but I'm hard pressed to imagine what prompted the other positive reviews. Caveat Emptor! | 0negative

It's longer
Bought two of these cables to place my PC tower further away from my monitors. I notice no difference in the quality of my picture. Everything looks as good as it did with shorter DVI cables. Would of gave it 5 stars but there is nothing special to push me over the edge to 5 stars. | 1positive

Great headset
This is a light weight headset that I am able to wear for hours. I have no complaints about this product and will purchase it again if it is available when I need another. Because these go out of stock or production too soon I bought two. I would recommend it to anyone. | 1positive

Coby DVD-514 Super Slim 5.1 Channel Progressive Scan DVD Player
The flexbility of formats made this seem like a great gift for my mother overseas. However it is cheaply constructed and stopped reading disks after 3 or 4 successful uses. A friend who's a digital video expert looked over the unit and told us it's not worth repairing. Due to the delay from purchase to use, the warranty was already void, so my mother opted to buy a different device locally instead. | 0negative

Quality HD. Great price.
I have trusted the Seagate brand of hard drives for years. They tend to run quieter than some of the Western Digital drives I have purchased, they are robust and reliable. Also, they are an excellent value. Seagate stands behind the product with excellent warranties. I bought this to replace a bad hard drive in my niece's computer. Installed easily and she has had no problems since. I recommend this HD to anyone looking for a reliable ATA-100 (IDE) drive for an older computer. 80GB is not a lot of disk space by today's standards, but plenty for anyone using their computer mostly for running MS-Office, Internet, Email, some photos and music. If you have a large library of photo images or do much with video, you may want a larger capacity HD. | 1positive

Too large for girls arms
I brought this so that I can hold my iPhone while I jog because I like to listen to audiobooks. I couldn't use this product because it's so large that I will just fall off from my arm. I don't have skinny arms. I actually have somewhat chubby arms. My conclusion unless your biceps is big as the male body builder this device will not work for you either. Total waste of money. Donated to local goodwill | 0negative

so many coasters...
I've never had so much trouble with DVD-R media as with these. I've used about a third of my spindle, and at least half of them had to be thrown away because of media errors. I thought TDK made bad discs, but these really take the cake. Never, ever buying these again. Save yourself a lot of hassle and frustration and avoid these discs. | 0negative

Difficult Installation
I had difficulty from the moment I installed the CD per instructions. I finally got it to work with the online utility. Problem was, it would take up to 30 minutes to get it to connect when I booted up my notepad. I had it set to "auto connect" when in range. Once it did connect it worked quite well. This went on a couple of weeks. Finally, I couldn't connect at all.Called customer service, and this is when it got ugly!! I had great difficulty understanding the foreign accent. After 55 minutes, I still hadn't resolved this.Finally, I hung up and bee-lined it to Circuit City for a full refund!!It seems that if you have a PC already configured for a wireless network,and don't need the network adapter, you MAY have better success, but, I wouldn't count on it! | 0negative

Big Typo in the Title
Please be aware of the major boo-boo found in this title here. Asus builds graphics cards with NVIDIA chips, and they build graphics cards with ATI chips. Both NVIDIA and ATI do a great job and produce first-class chips, but just in case you want to stick with one or the other, let's get something straight here. The 9200SE is manufactured by ATI, not NVIDIA (as advertised in the title). I'm guessing the advertised product here is a ATI product, but if they can get the manufacturer's name wrong, who's to say they didn't get the chip name wrong. Perhaps this product hosts a NVIDIA chip. Then which one? | 0negative

What a total piece of crap!!!!
Received product and everything was fine until I opened the package. The side of the unit that connects to the radio lasted about five minutes before it cracked and then broke. Unit was garbage at that point since it would cost as much to send it back as I spent to buy the product. What a waste of money. I will never buy Akron products if this is the best they can do. | 0negative

Great for the price.
I've had this lens for almost a year and use it with my Nikon D70s. Overall I'm pleased with the results. The macro mode is a nice addition. This is a good starter telephoto lens.It does have some graininess issues in the 300mm range, but I'm able to fix that in post production so it's not a big deal for me.One major problem I've encountered is that the auto-focus sometimes has a hard time figuring out what to focus on. I correct this by turning the lens slightly away and then bringing it back to the subject. | 1positive

I tried to hold off
Unreal. I get this kit and the cheesy cassette thing does not work. I have a Sony and, honest, my dog chewed the wire. I needed the cassette for a trip so I spliced the tiny wires of the Sony back together so I was sure the deck in the car works, it does. I emailed these people according to their instructions. After three emails from them where they could not understand the what I was telling them, they finally write back and say an email with return instructions will be send in the next TWO days. Is someone composing the email? What a joke. I don't know if I'll even bother with this since I bought it on an Amazon credit but this is awful customer service! The problem is with the seller. Crutchfield offers free shipping if an item is defective. "CrutchfieldYou can return any item for any reason within the first 30 days, for an exchange or a refund for the full amount of the merchandise ' whichever you prefer. We'll even pay for the return shipping."eFunctional says the defective merchandise they sell is not their responsibility. Read the fine print with these bandits. | 0negative

Terrible Image!
This camera is far worse than any of my other cameras, even my 340 line cameras. Edge sharpness doesn't exist. This camera is useless for surveillance. Unfortunately, the company doesn't allow the return of products in blister packs that have been opened. Obviously, you don't know if it works if you don't open the package. | 0negative

Vital filter for underwater photos with appropriate camera
This Sony VF-MP5K marine filter is either a UR-PRO, or the next best thing, and will restore the natural colors lost underwater due to the properties of water ("Roy G Biv" is the memory device we use to remeber the order of "disappearing" colors as we go underwater- Red is the first, the UR-PRO "restores" this.) In good visibility conditions, the filter will be good to at least 20 meters / 66 feet. The depth will diminish with decreased visibility, and this filter is NOT what you want for cold, turbid waters of, say, Northenr California. But it works quite well in decent vis and tropical waters (but remove it and tuck it away if you are very shallow, 3 meters / 10 feet.) | 1positive

Poor performance, poor service
Since I have had the product, almost all the features have slowly failed to perform. I have lost the "touch" function of the player. Every computer I have tried to connect to has stopped recognizing the player and it is impossible to play video. What is most frustrating is that on three seperate occassions I have contacted the Archos service center with no response. | 0negative

Great so far
We bought this a few months ago to have a region-free DVD player (my husband is American but I'm from England a have more DVDs than he does). We followed the instructions from another comment and set it to Region '0' so it will play DVDs from any country and so far it works great. The remote is really nice and easy to use and the player looks really nice and is very thin (about 1 and a half inches high).There are only 2 things negative to say:1. The tray doesn't open quickly - You have to push the power button first, and then 'open', and even then you have to wait until it realizes there is nothing in there or you have to push it again and THEN it opens. Stupid.2. Sometimes the remote isn't recognized so you have to keep pushing the button (gently obviously). We have it about 10ft from the DVD player but I wouldn't have though that would matter. Anyway, it can be annoying.Overall, it's great to be able to play R1 and R2 DVDs and the quality is perfect and the player looks really nice. It's simple to use and I would definitely recommend it. We're thinking of buying another one for the future when this one finally packs in. | 1positive

Shop practical and let your receiver do the rest !
I purchased the dvps330 and I tell you I could not have made a better choice. I have it connected to the Sony str e725 receiver with built-in dolby digital and the picture and acoustics kick mucho-a$$. Remember all you want is compatibility and digital sound coming through your speakers.So why spend all this excess money on another dvd with features you dont really need, your choice in your receiver should hold its weight. Sony's dvp-s330 is an cut and dry choice. | 1positive

Only good for less than a year
I've had these for less than a year. Very light use. I've never cranked them up real loud or had the bass up too high. Same probs as everyone else that has owned them for around a year. Sound is terrible now. Completely distorted. Touching the volume causes crackles and static. Obviously a manufacturing problem with these. They sounded grate for awhile there but for the limited time that lasts they are not worth it. | 0negative

A Mommy's Must Have Item!
This camera is incredible. It is so easy to use. You don't have to be a professional to buy and use this camera. It is a mommy's must have. If you are wanting to take phenomenal photos to have for years to come, this is the camera to do it.The camera turns on immidiatly without delay and snaps the photo immediatly without delay. So basically, what you see through the viewfinder is exactly what you get in the photo. This camera I purchased has a zoom of 18-135mm. What that means for me is that I can put the camera within 2 inches of my childs face and take a detailed picture of her eyes, or even something as small as a freckle. The detail is incredible. The instruction guide that is included with the camera walks you through step by step on how to set it up. So if you are at all intimidated the idea of using a bigger camera, DON"T BE! Memories are important, that is why we take pictures to begin with. This camera is perfect for anytime, day, night , sports events, super mega close ups etc. If you do any sort of scrapbooking, I highly encourage you to use photos taken by this camera. You will not be disappointed at the quality of the photo. You may use the camera like an amateur, but the photos look professional. You can't go wrong, because when you look through the viewfinder, there are markings to help you center the photo with ease. The clarity is amazing. I did a side by side comparison with my old camera to this one and this camera picked up things i could barely see with the naked eye. My family and friends are pleasantly suprised at the quality and clarity of the photos they have seen so far. I love this camera. Its an SLR with digital technology. Basically, that means, good old fashioned camera with the capability of using automatic or manual modes, but get the benefits of getting the digital clarity and not having to develope rolls of film because it saves to an SD memory card. This camera is a keeper, you will get your moneys worth on this camera because it will last you a lifetime to come. | 1positive

I wish there was a negative number for review
One word - JUNK!I did purchase another DVD player from Amazon, a Zenith that I am more than happy with. However, Amazon was supposed to take my junk Apex back, been waiting 2 months now... If you order something from Amazon (pay), it's here FAST, returning something...what a joke. Contact Amazon? That's another joke. See if you can find a customer service phone number on this website. You have to follow like 6 links and be a cyber slueth just to get an email across...Whatever you do, do not buy this Apex player, you will be sorry. It won't play several DVDs. | 0negative

Damaged during shipment
I ordered the Meade DS2114ATS Telescope through Amazon.com, but it was actually shipped by J&R Music and Computer World (JR.com). It only took a couple of days for the telescope to arrive, but unfortunately it had been damaged during shipping. The smaller, secondary mirror had becomed detached from its mount and was bouncing around inside the tube. As a result the secondary mirror was chipped around the edges, and the primary mirror had numerous scratches.The telescope seemed to be packed well for shipping and there was no apparent damage to the outside of the box. The main tube of the telescope was packed in three levels of boxes. My impression is that Meade's process of gluing the secondary mirror to its mount just isn't strong enough to withstand the rigors of shipping. I decided the quality of the telescope was not quite what I had expected. I returned it to J&R and requested a full refund which I received about 3 weeks later. After doing some more howework, I have decided to try ordering my next scope from Orion. | 0negative

Great DLP
Samsung was one of the first to jump on the DLP wagon and they did a good job with this set. I have had mine for over one year now and it has been a very good television. The HD picture quality is as good as I have seen on a projection unit (less than 1080p.) DVDs and video games look fantastic on the HL-R5067W.What does not look good, however, is regular definition content. Satellite or cable programming that is not in HD will be some what fuzzy and pixelated. Not so much that it is not watchable, though. This is a general issue with large DLP's and some LCD's though. It happens to be a bit worse with this particular model. On the other side of that, the HD image and DVD/Game picture was superior to the competitors.In summary, if you watch mostly standard definition still, DLP and particularly this set, is probably not for you. Perhaps consider a Plasma since they are now entering this price range. If you watch more higher resolution content or are a console gamer, this is the best DLP I have seen, and the price has really come down since the 1080p sets are out now.The remote control, hd-tuner, sound and osd are all solid and about the same as the competitors. This is a very good set, and even better at the current price. | 1positive
