	Brother MFC-7820N 5-in-1 Network Monochrome Laser Multifunction Center
	"The perfect buy for the money."	2008-12-12
I have had this printer for only two weeks, but so far it has performed admirably. Although it does have some limitations, one expects these with such an inexpensive network all-in-one printer. Only a few things have bothered me about this printer, and one of them is software based. First, this printer does not seem to be able to print on 24# parchment paper, even if there doesn't seem to be any texture to it (I can't detect any, at least). I have tried changing settings, but nothing appears to make any difference, and ghosting occurs every time. Oddly enough, the printer ghosted on everything I printed until I took out the toner and cleaned it. The other major problem I noticed was in scanning multiple two-sided pages, but this relates to the software. The pages get messed up, no matter what order I put them in. I flip them over, and the pages go backwards on one side. Frustrating if you want to copy a two-sided packet. But, on the other hand, the printer has some excellent pros. First and foremost is that this was the cheapest network all-in-one laser printer I could find. Our former printer was not networked, and we had to have my wife's computer on to print, which was a pain. Having it on a network means we can print with either of our computers on as well as wirelessly with our laptop. Also, while the curling up that others have reported has occurred, the pages, as long as they're not too moist, flatten out quite quickly afterward. The prints appear to be great (after cleaning the toner up), and the paper feeder has not given me any issues (yet). This printer will not function like a $300-$400 printer, but that's to be expected. For the money, this printer is fantastic, except for the caveats I've noticed.
	Canon Digital Rebel XTi 10.1MP Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens
	"Great entry-level DSLR"	2008-07-04
I've had this camera for a little over a month, and I've only had time to take a hundred pictures or so, but I really love this camera. But buyers should be aware that this is an entry-level DSLR. There are only a few things nagging me, but I should share them with you. First, only in certain modes can the flash be forced "off" -- otherwise, it pops up if the object of focus is dark and the background is a bit brighter... Sometimes, it was just annoying, particularly on a bright sunny day when taking pictures in the shade when I think I would have preferred it to stay closed, and it kept popping up. Secondly, the kit lens. Well, it's a kit lens, and while it's okay for a beginning lens, it's not very good, especially if you want to take a wider variety of pictures (low-light, shallower depth of field), and its picture at lower f-stops is soft, to be kind (I found the pictures at higher F-stops to be decent, however, not great). Those are the main things I've noticed and been bothered by, but otherwise, the camera is fantastic, and an incredible jump up from most point-and-shoot cameras.
