Rated 5 Stars"VR really works and the price can't be beat." 2007-06-08
I had the 55-200mm non VR version for about 5 months, sold it to essentally recover my cost, and bought the VR version as a replacement. The non VR version was very compact and light, and produced excellent photos, but the slightly larger VR version is so much more usable I don't miss the other lens at all. The VR works as advertised and allows me to take pictures at 3 times or more lower shutter speeds than the non VR version. While I would love the 18-200mm VR for the convenience, I will never be able to justify the $750 price, so my 18-55mm kit lens and this lens will likely cover my needs as long as I own my camera. I also seriously considered the 70-300mm VR, but couldn't accept twice the price for only 50% more reach. And at twice the length of the 55-200mm non VR version, it would be too awkward for me to carry around. I am very satisfied with this 55-200mm VR lens and if you are considering it, please give it a try. You will not be dissapointed.

Rated 5 Stars"Excellent value for the money" 2006-08-23
We decided on the c320 because it was the lowest cost unit with a touch screen and we didn't need the additional features of the pricier units. The 128 MB card is big enough for us to store 8 local states, more than we even need. Only had the unit for a month, but initial impression is very favorable. The c320 is easy to use and very accurate. Only once did it take more than 5 minutes to acquire the satellites. The voice prompts are legible and the screen is clear. The mounting system is very robust. The battery lasts 6-8 hours and recharging is fairly quick. Try to find the custom fit carry case. It's a perfect fit and stores the c320 mounted with a pocket for the 12V cord. Highly recommended.

Rated 3 Stars"Cautiously Recommended" 2005-05-27
This is hopefully to the point and helpful. A straight summary based on my experience.
PROS:
1. Very accurate midrange and treble. Essentially perfect.
2. Very small, lighweight and comfortable (be aware comfort is VERY subjective - you won't know until you try it).
3. Sound isolation is awesome. You can listen at very low levels, hear everything in the music, save battery life, and more importantly your hearing. (DO NOT use near traffic!)
CONS:
1. Cords could be prone to easy damage. They are very small diameter and have no strain reliefs at the ear piece. Be careful!
2. Even with the supplied clip the cords produce microphonic noise (pretty much unavoidable with in ear phones). If you're using these while working out, you may find the constant cord noise distracting.
2. Bass is tight and clean, but needs help to be acceptable for rock or pop. Even when worn properly the bass is light weight. If your player has an EQ please consider a 5dB or so boost between 60Hz and 100 Hz. Once EQ'd the accurate and tuneful bass becomes a PRO.

Overall these are high quality, but since the PROS and CONS are so pronounced I can't give it more than 3 stars.
