Rated 2 Stars"Nice product, but lousy movie" 2008-11-06
Nicely done package and DVD but it's not really measure up to the hype.
Save your money... I paid $35.00 for this.



Logitech Cordless Desktop LX 700Logitech Cordless Desktop LX 700
Rated 5 Stars"Fantastic KB" 2007-12-09
Had this KB-mouse set forever.
The BEST key feed-back and pressure of all the KB I've owned in the past. The keys are curved, so the fingers find a nice depression for easy thouch typing.... even if you do it with two fingers :)

The model I have is LX300 which is the same as LX700.

Love the mouse recharge in the cradle and no battery changing.... ever.
I don't like the newer models where you need to keep feeding the mouse with batteries. It's a hassle.

One slight problem with the mouse; sometimes it goes crazy and switch into SOFT SCROLL for no reason at all. Could not figure out why and disable it on the setup menu... don't need it.
Could be some software do-hicky problem.
I never used soft scroll anyway.



Sandisk 4GB Secure Digital SD HC Memory CardSandisk 4GB Secure Digital SD HC Memory Card
Rated 5 Stars"Card is good if you can READ it." 2007-11-09
There is nothing wrong with the card!

The HC model cards work in digital cameras.... Canon, Nikon, etc.
However, it can NOT be read with any reader, unless it is made specifically to read HC cards. I got SanDisk reader and won't read it.
Had to resort to USB download from the camera, that always work and maybe just as fast. It's just a hassle to plug in things.

Five star for the card.
It's not the card's fault that it can not be read by old reader.
It works in old cameras as well.... if you have a name brand; canon, nikon.



Canon PowerShot SD800 IS 7.1MP Digital Elph Camera with 3.8x Wide Angle Image-Stabilized Optical ZoomCanon PowerShot SD800 IS 7.1MP Digital Elph Camera with 3.8x Wide Angle Image-Stabilized Optical Zoom
Rated 5 Stars"Outstanding camera!" 2007-10-03
This is my second cannon SD camera.
Fantastic images and yes, the image stabilisation works like a charm.

I use this camera mostly to take videos and not much still shots.
The video clips are 30 minutes or more. It is clear and the sound is very good with the video. My Sony expensive camcorder is hardly ever used. This small handy cam can be used instantly, unlike a camcorder.

I bought my camera in a store and paid $ 100.00 over this price (above). Still, am not sorry because it's worth it to me.

Canon makes superb camera and lenses.
Absulutely amazing that you can buy a quality camera for this amount of money. If you read negatives about canon, people complain because they either they don;t know how to use it or they want a $1000.00 item for $ 10.00 Then there are others who complain about plastic door on the camera as metal would be better?
Why?
People nit-pick things that has nothing to do with the functions of the camera.
What you want is the camera give you stunning pictures.
It does.
Whatever minor issues, if any, really don't matter.

This unit is very comfortable and does what it's supposed to.
Clear sound with plenty of bass, if you're playing those kinds of music.

Rated 5 Stars"Do your own research and don't rely on what you read here." 2007-09-19
Now that what I said in the title, why do you want to read more?

heheh
No time?
Ya better make time, unless you have money to throw out the window.
Is that a confusing statement and seeing the five (5) star rating on this product?
Maybe..... read more to clear this up a bit.

Amazon won't let me post a detailed review due to space limitations.
So, here it is;

The bottom line of this review is; I tested all players available at Circut City store and I found this unit is better suited for my needs. It may not be for yours, but then again, that's why there are so many models out there.

My best advice;
Go to a store where you can test all of the units offered and see for yourself.
Read opinions as a reference, not as a decision to purchase anything.
If you do, I have a slightly used bridge in New York for sale if interested ;)
Just gimme a call and we'll make a deal.

BTW, Circuit City has the same price as Amazon and no delivery charge or hassle to send it back to the seller.


NETGEAR GS108 8-Port 10/100/1000 Copper Gigabit Ethernet SwitchNETGEAR GS108 8-Port 10/100/1000 Copper Gigabit Ethernet Switch
Rated 4 Stars"Works just fine.... but" 2007-08-01
I am not sure if it's a Netgear problem or just the way things are with these switches.

I have a webcam going through it with a dedicated IP address.
I find it kinda lagging and functions in time/slice manner. Ya know, do a little bit of this and that, but not continously.
The webcam have no problem with other switch, like Belkin, but for some reason Netgear may not be able to handle the streaming video?

The image kinda jumps in 1/3 second increments. There is no adjustment or software to fix that problem. If you use it for data, you won't know the difference. Using it for a webcam is annoying.
So, if you are going to connect anything that requires streaming video, look elsewhere. BTW, this Sony webcam capable to stream 30fps and never see any lag over the internet.

I can imagine how slow this will get if if I plug in another machine.
Right now the webcam is the only one plugged in.
I have no idea how this thing can handle 1 Gb data... if can't handle 1/10th of the speed.

So, do some reasearch and ask lots of questions.
I did, but still wound up with this not-so-good switch.

Rated 1 Stars"Typical English movie with bad sound recording" 2007-08-01
I got this set and sent it back after viewing the first disk.
let me tell you something about English movies:

If you love ear-splitting flute music, then this is for you.
What's with the English and flute music?
Can't hear the damn dialogue when this music is in the 'background'.

The sound is really bad.
They (English movies) don't understand that music should be heard as a background music if you have a dialogue.
If you have a slight hearing problem, I guarantee you won't understand anything.... also due to the accent.
You can turn it up, but that won't help, because that damn flute music just irritating.

I also bought other English movies and the same problem.
Sound recording is really bad.... and horrendous FLUTE music!
Music way too loud and drown out the dialogue.
Sometimes can't hear anything what they say and then in a few second it's blaring loud. There is no level recording.
Just horrible.

I bought "the enemy at the door' series and the same problem with those DVD's. Very bad sound recording and more FLUTE music.... the high note kind that equals with finger nails of the black board.
Ya know?

Bottom line; if you have even the slightest hearing difficulty... don't buy it.
How can you tell?
When you watch TV, is is loud?
If yes, then you have a hearing problem dude.

Rated 5 Stars"I want more!" 2007-06-22
This is a very good story.
The problem is that it does not really ends.
Are there more then these two volume sets, or collections?

Much as I love the British films I can't understand some of the characters when they speak soooo fast. Oh well, am sure other people as the same problem with such accents.

Bottom line: I want more of these stories and interested to buy all of it.

Wish they'd made more of these stories.
The ending is like... not really an ending.
Assume that maybe there are more coming?


At the Center of the Storm: My Years at the CIAAt the Center of the Storm: My Years at the CIA
Rated 5 Stars"good story" 2007-05-30
Detailed story of how the CIA operated during his leadership.
I think he got a bad deal from the administration and in general from the congress. Such is politics and nothing to do with one's achivement.

Rated 5 Stars"Wow!" 2007-04-30
'Am watching this set of movies over and over for the 4th time.
What a wonderful series.
The sets and period costumes are just perfect. Well, ya had to live in those years to bring back memories. Archie's ties are the coolest.
At first I didn't like the same actors in every movie.
Later on I got use to it.
However, if they do more of these.... should really find new actors and not 're-use' them in different roles.

The box-set is well done with quality art, production.
Well worth the money.

Rated 5 Stars"7,000 images later..." 2007-04-30
I bought this model when they came out.
The best camera I have.
No longer use my camcorder... this will do just fine for DVD or web view.

Don't even hesitate to select this sd-500 model.
You will find the pictures amazingly sharp.
What more can you ask for a small wonder like this?

'Am adding a few more words to this superb camera.( aug.2007)
I use this as my main movie recorder, it's that good.
I do have an expensive Sony camcorder that hardly get used because this baby will do everything I need for internet movies on the website.
It's sharp and bright images will dazzle you.

One thing is strange... The price of this model went up since a few years and the newer models may have more resolution and other features, but this one still beats them all for clarity and color.
Canon don't produce this model anymore (?) and seems like people in the know realize how much better this model was then the new ones.
You can buy a new canon with more resolutions for half price then this older model.
See?

Please note:
When you read user's opinion and they trash some product, sometimes they don;t know how to use it or they're abuse it, blaming the manufacturer.
