Sleek, Small, and Stylin: The Sony MZ-R55

Fri, 31 Mar 2000 02:26:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bamtino24 - From the moment I saw this player, I felt in love with it :). Quality manifests itself in every aspect of this minidisc player. From it's sleek design to awesome remote, it's definitely a must-buy. Although the small buttons prove tedious, they are...

MP3s Just Got Better

Fri, 31 Mar 2000 01:32:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bamtino24 - A lot of people I know believe you shouldn't buy this product because the music industry doesn't approve of MP3 as a format. Don't listen to them. Because even if you could never download a single piece of good music off the web (which of course, you...

Xerox WorkCentre 470CX Inkjet Multifunction Printer: "The only printer that actually CREATES WORK"!!

Wed, 29 Mar 2000 02:42:28 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author bamtino24 - I've owned many computer printers. This is THE WORST. The paper in-feed doesn't work worth a darn. I called Xerox. They say that the rollers need to be "de-glazed" (like I'm a chef??). They want me to use the metal separated part of a tape...

VTech VT 9000 900MHz Cordless Phone: Cute Phone

Wed, 29 Mar 2000 02:16:18 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bamtino24 - I purchased a lower end version of this same V-tech model for $39 at office max. I got the iMac style see thru red plastic one. The phone works great so far, and one of the main things that attracted me to the phone besides the cherry red color, was that...

Siemens Gigaset 2402

Wed, 29 Mar 2000 01:43:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bamtino24 - I chose the 2402 because I didn't need another desk phone and all my incoming calls are message managed by a computer, so the answering machine etc would have been a waste. I have is up with 2 handsets with 2 phone lines and it is a wonder. Joining in on...

Sony is still the best there is.

Mon, 27 Mar 2000 03:07:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bamtino24 - When I went looking for a video camera I figured Sony would be the best, but I also figured it would cost an arm and a leg. After shopping around for a while, i realized the CCD-TRV66 was not that expensive relatively speaking. It seems to me it's...

Alot for the price

Mon, 27 Mar 2000 02:45:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bamtino24 - Sony Digital8 is a cool format, but if money's not a major factor, go with a 3-chip Mini-DV... right now Hi-8 tapes (which are used by Digital8) are easier to find, but in a few years that will reverse... and Hi-8 tapes may disappear one day. The image...

Quality + Versatility = Great Pictures

Mon, 27 Mar 2000 02:26:20 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bamtino24 - As a Nikon user for the last 25 years, I was looking for a point-and-shoot to balance my N90s. To my surprise and delight the N70 gives in some areas more then the N90s and has few drawbacks. The flexibility of the metering and built in speedlight...

Not The Best Buy

Sun, 26 Mar 2000 05:18:51 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author bamtino24 - My girlfriend and I are stumped by this camera. We just can't seem to take a decent picture with it. It's easy to operate, but the zoom lens and the flash are painfully slow to operate and the camera is just too light weight for us. You'd think the light...

Ricoh RDC-300

Thu, 23 Mar 2000 04:42:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bamtino24 - This was my cousin's first digital camera, and he has absolutely nothing to compare it to, but his biggest complaint with the RDC-300 was that unless you shot, the picture gets blurry. Kinda tough at parties and when you're taking action shots. But other...

Barbie Digital Camera

Thu, 23 Mar 2000 04:33:01 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author bamtino24 - The only good thing about this camera is the software. My 5-year old could have drawn better pictures than this camera took. Mattel couldn't even tell me what the resolution was (I think they were too embarassed). I did eventually find out - don't...

The most versatile camera for the price

Thu, 23 Mar 2000 04:27:54 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bamtino24 - The 3x wide/long optical zoom is absolutely indispensable, I can't believe I almost bought a digital camera without one. The Mac version of their software is not good- it doesn't background, so your computer's useless for about ten minutes while it sucks...

Camera Good, PC Interface Bad

Wed, 22 Mar 2000 05:15:54 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author bamtino24 - The camera works as well as you would expect for the price and is easy to use. Pictures are more than acceptable for web use and email pictures. The Microsoft Picture IT 99 was excellent for casual uses. Connection and transferring pictures to my PC was...

Fujifilm mx-1200 Great Package

Wed, 22 Mar 2000 04:55:20 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bamtino24 - It has a feature on it that allows you to adjust the edging. Normal, soft or hard. Hard makes the pictures come out especially crisp and sharp. Buy more smart media cards because the fine grain eats memory. The pictures that I have printed on an HP...

Sony 36" Wega XBR

Wed, 22 Mar 2000 04:06:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bamtino24 - This TV has 4 picture modes to select from, and you need them all. You need to adjust just about everything you can adjust for EACH different video source. The picture modes allow you to save all the different set ups. For example, once I had a mode set...

Awesome! Worth The Price

Wed, 22 Mar 2000 03:33:29 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bamtino24 - If you need a DVD player with a build in AC-3 decoder look no further. I have a receiver with 5.1 inputs but no decoder and this unit performs great! I paid 350 which is more than some similar units but it has fiber, coax, and component video outputs...

Panasonic DVD L50

Wed, 22 Mar 2000 03:27:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bamtino24 - Got this little gem to make road trips and plane trips with my 2 year old easier. WOW! We travel a ton and this, barney and disney are my best friends. Invest the extra 30 bucks for the leather case. We also got an additional battery (about 150.00) so if...

DVD On The Go

Wed, 22 Mar 2000 03:22:43 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bamtino24 - The Televizer Portable DVD Theater Package and i-Glasses is a mixed bag. The DVD player in this package is a Panasonic P-10 and it's pretty good for a portable player. The i-Glasses, however, need improvement. For those not familiar with the i-Glasses,...

Vacuum_Cleaners-Oreck: Poor Vacuum Cleaner

Tue, 21 Mar 2000 21:13:24 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author bamtino24 - Several years ago we bought an Oreck vacuum because of the hype we heard on radio commercials. Let me first say that even though the cost is a bit on the high side ($300+) in my opinion, there are several cleaners that cost less than $100 that are...

Great Performance by Julia Roberts

Wed, 15 Mar 2000 04:46:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bamtino24 - I'm not sure how many millions Julia Roberts can demand for a film these days, but as Erin Brockovich she is pure gold.

Brockovich is a woman who can't keep her mouth shut. She is irritating, exasperating, troublesome and...

Great Western Laughs

Wed, 15 Mar 2000 04:25:20 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bamtino24 - What a fun movie! I really enjoyed this film, although I thought I wouldn't. This is such a funny movie. I absolutely adore the banter between Newman and Redford. Each actor played so well with the other. They made jokes that must have been...

Great King Kong

Wed, 15 Mar 2000 04:10:57 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bamtino24 - The special effects blew me away for a 1930s film. The way that the producer was able to make Kong have human expressions won my heart. I

found myself routing for Kong, not the human race. Is that wrong?

Surprisingly the story line was...

Improved Y2K Neon

Sat, 11 Mar 2000 16:48:17 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bamtino24 - I thought Neon was pretty decent when Chrysler first introduced it in 1994. When you drive the 2000 Neon, though, you see what the experience of five years of production did for the car. First, the new Neon is larger. It’s a little bit more...

Comfortably Redesigned Impala

Sat, 11 Mar 2000 16:15:33 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bamtino24 - Built on a totally new platform, the Impala 2000 is not a replacement for the bit larger Lumina. However it does share a few components with that mid-size sedan. Impala is a bit shorter than Lumina, and a little wider. As such, it offers full-size...

Ultra Boost

Sat, 11 Mar 2000 15:56:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bamtino24 - I always get nervous when a company names its product something like "Ultra." It takes guts, because there are always people like myself out there who are willing (and often anxious) to tear apart the Ultra label.

When...
