Sun, 10 Aug 2008 17:49:05 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author AtlantaGreg - WHAT IT IS The Wildview 5 megapixel hunting/scouting camera is a plastic box about the size of a large hardback novel. It's a simple device, with a small camera lens on the front, with a flash, and counter to show how many photos have been...

Can you hear me now? No!

Mon, 4 Aug 2008 01:32:32 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author AtlantaGreg - The Plantonics Voyager 815 is one of a newer generation of "ear bud" type bluetooth devices for your cell phone. At barely more than 2 inches long and extremely thin, it's smaller and lighter than many offerings. FITTINGS: Upon opening the...

Made in China Says All

Sun, 17 Feb 2008 03:22:46 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author AtlantaGreg - Well, I certainly wish I could write a nice review for the Neat Receipts scanner, but I can't. WHAT IT IS: At barely around 12 inches long and only a few inches wide, the Neat Receipts scanner seems wonderful for those who wish to have a...

If It Sounds Too Good To Be True...

Sun, 23 Dec 2007 00:16:07 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author AtlantaGreg - Like many, I had a hard time grasping a "HD" camcorder for under $150 when I saw it at my local electronics store. But then, it was packaged in a blister pack, hanging on a wall display along with toy cameras as well. So, what should one expect?...

If you need the convenience it's worth it - but only just...

Sat, 24 Nov 2007 02:11:47 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author AtlantaGreg - Have you ever wanted to take video of something but just didn't feel like lugging around a standard-sized camcorder? That's probably what Panasonic engineers had in mind when they developed the S10 camcorder. Very small, very light weight, and...

ViewSonic 22" VX2235wm Widescreen LCD: Fine, But Not In "The Happy Place"

Sun, 29 Oct 2006 01:36:04 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author AtlantaGreg - SIZE MATTERS Like others, I got the Costco deal of $299.00 for the ViewSonic VX2235wm. I was running a dual 19 inch LCD monitor setup, and wanted to see if I could save some space by switching to a single, larger, LCD. At that price, the Viewsonic...

Don't Bother If You Enjoy Saving Money

Mon, 23 Oct 2006 11:44:54 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author AtlantaGreg - This is a very short review, but hopefully simply makes the point about these machines. I normally do much longer reviews on items, but then again, we're talking about an air filter device that plugs into a wall that we only used a day before returning...

Tue, 27 Jun 2006 23:45:48 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author AtlantaGreg - ANOTHER ELPH The Canon Digital Elph series has been around a while now, and it is still available in retail store chains - now at a nice low price, too. In the Canon camera lineup the Elphs have always been known as the small, stylish, and usually...

All The Bells and Whistles, But Flawed?

Sun, 4 Jun 2006 00:37:41 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author AtlantaGreg - The Canon S3IS is the third generation in the S-series for Canon. A couple of years ago they introduced the S1IS which while popular, only offered a 3 megapixel resolution – enough for good 4x6 prints and a bit above, but not large prints. This was...

An Incredible Find For The Price

Sat, 28 May 2005 01:54:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author AtlantaGreg - Intro: These days, potentially bad cameras are usually reserved to off branded or lesser-known brands you see in office supply stores and on Ebay auctions. We’re at the point in digital camera design that pretty much any camera you buy from a...

"Digital Camera of the Year"

Wed, 25 May 2005 00:37:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author AtlantaGreg - INTRO: A while back, Canon started their "A" series of cameras, and from day one they've been very popular. They are small but not so small they're hard to hold, feature rich yet can be operated in full auto mode, and take usually take excellent...

Great Little Cam If You Don't Expect Miracles

Tue, 8 Feb 2005 15:37:20 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author AtlantaGreg - WHAT YOU GET The Fuji E550 is a mid-range model designed in film camera style. It fits neatly into your hand, and for now less than $350.00 (in some areas), you get a multi-megapixel camera with a 2 inch color LCD screen, and a 4X optical zoom...

Tue, 8 Feb 2005 12:10:17 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author AtlantaGreg - THIS IS AN iPOD?? Yes, this is an iPod. Actually, Apple officially calls it an “iPod Shuffle”. Not too long ago, Apple generated a HUGE marketing success by introducing the world to the iPod. These small music players can store...

Decent Photos, But WHOAH, Poor Quality

Mon, 6 Sep 2004 01:47:10 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author AtlantaGreg - Intro: With all the talk of Sony, Canon, Fuji, Olympus, Nikon, and the other major camera players today, you usually don't think of Gateway. This is Gateway the computer makers I'm talking about, who a while ago, decided to get into other product...

ZOOM - but at a price?

Fri, 9 Jul 2004 13:22:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author AtlantaGreg - A ZOOM FOR ALL PEOPLE? The Canon S1 IS (IS standing for "image stabilization"), hits the market perhaps a little late in the game considering it's resolution of only 3 megapixels. Panasonic offers a 12X IS zoom camera at 4 megapixels, and for only a...

The Good, The Bad, and the Fantasy Claims of the Fuji S7000...

Tue, 18 May 2004 15:19:48 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author AtlantaGreg - WHAT IT IS AND WHAT YOU GET The Fuji S7000 falls into what is typically called the 'prosumer' range of digital cameras. Meaning, it's not meant to be used as a 'point-and-shoot' casual camera. With a full range of manual controls (shutter speed,...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author AtlantaGreg - WHAT IS IT? The DC3000 is an external DVD+R/RW writer which at the time of this writing, has one unique feature that no other external writer has - external "analog video ports". What this means, is that you can directly connect a VCR, VHS camcorder,...

The Tiny Metal Powerhouse To Compete With The Big Boys

Sun, 2 Nov 2003 00:58:25 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author AtlantaGreg - What It Is & What You Get The Minolta G500 is a very small, nearly pocket-sized camera. It measures only 3.5 inches wide, by just over 2 inches tall, and has a metal body which feels very sturdy when compared to today's plasticy cams. In you...

Keywords: "For The Price", it's a great camera.

Tue, 13 May 2003 13:44:26 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author AtlantaGreg - It's amazing how much prices have dropped on digital cameras over such a short time, and the A300 is a great example of progress (mostly). So what will $199.00 (US) get you these days? More...

WHAT IS IT?

Does Many Things, But None Very Well?

Mon, 24 Mar 2003 01:10:15 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author AtlantaGreg - You've heard a phrase about multi-function devices that "they do many things, but none of them well". That might well describe the Olympus W-10 voice recorder/digital camera combo device. They are now available for around $99.00 retail (U.S.) as of...

Is that a camera in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?

Wed, 12 Feb 2003 14:13:00 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author AtlantaGreg - Not long ago I purchased the Sony U10, the 1.3 megapixel version in the U-series of cameras. I soon realized the limitations of that camera with it’s limited resolution, but on a recent trip to Circuit City, I noticed they were carrying the U20, a 2...

Linksys (BEFW11S4) 802.11b Wireless Access Point: Ok, but not worth it for the service you get.

Fri, 27 Dec 2002 01:21:28 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author AtlantaGreg - Call me old fashioned. Call me a cranky old fart (well, not real old, I'm under 40 still). Call me demanding (but I'm not), but I believe in financially supporting only those companies that support ME, the customer.

Tiny, Tiny, and Did I Say, "TINY"??

Mon, 4 Nov 2002 02:13:36 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author AtlantaGreg - You really do have to see photos of people holding the DSC-U10 (U10 now for short) in order to appreciate how small this thing is at only 3 1/4 by 1 1/2 inches. Well, here I am again, Mastercard wigglin' in my wallet, and bought one. Here's my take on...

Sun, 3 Nov 2002 01:37:14 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author AtlantaGreg - What You Get

At first glance in the box, you're quite impressed with the Pocket DV II by Aiptek. The cam itself has a nice silvery look to it, and you get all the goodies and more: Transfer cable for photo downloading to your...

Size Does Matter To Some.

Tue, 17 Sep 2002 16:16:55 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author AtlantaGreg - I’ve now owned the Sony DSC-F707 for three months, and have come to like this ugly duckling of the camera world. Having owned several 1 and 2 megapixel cameras over time, I found the need to upgrade to a higher megapixel camera for larger printing...
