 | Canon DC220 DVD Camcorder with 35x Optical Zoom | |
 | "Less than ok for beginers; not par to advanced users." | 2009-08-07 |
| Bought it for my wife who is trully a complete newbie and I regret the decision. Ok when one learns the basics to shoot film and take pictures.
The quality of still pictures is ok when good lighting is present, otherwise, expect grainy images for under less than excellent light. I am not kidding. Indor pics will need a lot of light. I thought that using mini dvds would be a blessing compared to cassete tapes but found out that 20 minutes is awful. Should I investigated better, I would never buy devices using this type of media. And speaking of media... you can't edit your dvds using your PC or MAC unless you go to a third party software. USB connectivity seemed flaky in the begining but was ok after I replaced the cable I was using. Be forewarned though, it is only useful to transfer pictures from the card to the computer... video ??? Forget it.... Someone complained about the mini sd card... well we bought a SanDisk Mini SD 512 Mb at Circuit City and it works fine. Why 512 MB ?? Well, that's the only capacity they had at the time... Don't go with the cheapos at eBay... it seems the camcorder is kinda of picky. On the other hand, had no problem at all with "other brand" dvds media... I bought a 50 disks pack from the same store and they work pretty fine (tepito DVD-R, 4x speed, 1.4 gig, 30 minutes). The more start-record-stop operations you do, you will create new chapters and this fragmentation consumes space on the DVD. Not much but measurable in a small disk like this. Finishing the dvd won't happen if you don't plug the power supply but it should be informed in the on screen menu. Yeah, I had to read the manual to find that out.... Like someone else said: if you plan to edit your movies on a computer, aim for something better. | ||

| First of all, no matter the bad reviews as they vastly outnumbered by the good ones. Yes, there are lemmons out there, but you can get them even you buy a Caddylac, people, get over it: you just had bad luck. I had another model (without the boom) which my wife has now. This is why I like it and recommend: - it has the mic boom: I want the functionality - fits much better and doesn't dangle all the time. (what a relief) - battery life is amazing - sound quality is very good - very flexible, allows for infinite adjustments The drawbacks pale in comparison with the performance and quality but there are a few minors: - cumbersome power on/off button - very flexible, sometimes makes it difficult to fit using only one hand For those of us who wear glasses, it doesn't play very well with the glasses legs but you can manage it... (or go with contacts haha) Seriously, this is a great piece of equipment. Recommended anytime. | ||
 | Ringo Starr - Ringo | |
 | "Ringo's classic rock. It still rocks !" | 2008-02-24 |
| I've been amazed by this album for... let me see... I bought the vinyl in 1976.. with the drawings by Klaus Voorman. But the true richness of this album was really the music. I always thought that Ringo having received help from all other ex-Beatles was that made this guy so special that he could manage to get along so well with the others that they came to play with Ringo.
"I'm the greatest" is a song I have in my mind all the time, then comes "have you seen my baby" that is the guy longing to see his gone girl again. Next comes "Photograph": a classic. Then "down and out". "Sunshine life for me (sail away Raymond)" just makes you want to be sailing away to a tropical island, very relaxing. "you're sixteen" . One's gotta love this song. Like I do. "Oh my my" - sorta ingenuous but enough to make it a hit when came out "Step Lightly" - One of my favorites :-) .. sorry, I just like this one "six o' clock", "Devil Woman" - could never really understand this song while I was growing up, but it rocked ! "You and me babe" - was the last song on the original vinyl record. Liked it very much but also made me sad because it tells you the end of the album is near . The next two tracks do not belong to the original recording, but hey ! It's Ringo ! I rank this album as one of my top five favorites. | ||
