I love my Nikon N80

Fri, 18 Jan 2002 14:35:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author barry_kaplan - I never owned an SLR before this one, but I have used Nikon cameras in the past (the Nikon N50) and I owned two Nikkor lenses.

I was about to commence a photographic course and decided to do some research - I used www.photo.net for my...

Beautiful film

Sun, 15 Apr 2001 19:35:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author barry_kaplan - I first saw Meet Joe Black when it came out on video. A few people had told me that they really didn't like it. I think they were just jealous of Brad Pitt - what can he do - he's really good looking. My second (and subsequent) viewing was on DVD -...

Loads of fun!

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author barry_kaplan - Living in New York, I have wanted to capture the moment of all the groovy things that go on around me. With an SLR, even with autofocus, by the time you've taken the precious device out of its casing and pointed it at "the moment", the spontaneity has...

Creative Labs Nomad II (64MB) MP3 Player: Nomad II is a winning product!

Mon, 30 Oct 2000 00:41:35 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author barry_kaplan - I started out looking for an IC Voice Recorder. There were a lot on offer, but I wanted to be able to upload my voice files to my PC when I was done. Prices for such devices (that had the PC upload capability) started at around $200. Then I discovered...

No more sticky notes

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author barry_kaplan - What a great product!

The Palm V is a compact, easily transportable electronic device that has made my life so much simpler. No more sticky notes. No more writing appointments on my hand or on pieces of paper that always get mislaid. Best of...

I've seen it 18 times...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author barry_kaplan - Although this is not my favorite movie of all time (Shawshank Redemption is!), the messages within are truly inspiring.

Phil, our hero is superbly performed by Bill Murray. The premise for the movie is highly original. Phil, a weather reporter...

Dell Inspiron 3500 C366GT: Crash!

Sun, 23 Jan 2000 06:03:34 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author barry_kaplan - I've always been a loyal Dell supporter, having used 4 different models in the past. I can safely say that I was only too pleased to give up my Inspiron 3500. The Win 98 installation kept on crashing. 3 or 4 times a day. If you're a power user, stay...

Dell Inspiron 3700 R450GT: Losing faith

Sun, 23 Jan 2000 05:54:17 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author barry_kaplan - I have been a loyal Dell supporter since I first used their Pentium line of Latitude Notebooks. Their Latitude machines may still be a great buy, but the Inspirons are another story altogether. I had a 3500 for two months. It crashed on me 3 or 4 times a...

Another Yamaha winner!

Sun, 23 Jan 2000 05:38:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author barry_kaplan - As the core of my home theater system, I needed a good receiver / amplifier. The other components of my system are a Panasonic flat screen TV (CT-32SF35), Bose Acoustimass II speakers and Sony DVP-C650D DVD player. The Yamaha receiver is a great buy and...

Great value for money

Thu, 20 Jan 2000 18:14:35 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author barry_kaplan - Panasonic or Sony? These were my 2 choices when looking for a new Television. Why did I go with the Panasonic? Great picture, great value for money and a very reliable manufacturer (I own other Panasonic products). The Sony Vega was the only other series...

Another amazing Panasonic Product

Thu, 13 Jan 2000 12:04:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author barry_kaplan - This is the best phone I have ever used and for many reasons. What first attracted me to the phone is its manufacturer. Panasonic's "quest for zero defect" has made me a loyal follower.

Why so good? The phone's 2.4GHZ range makes it...

Great functionality and ease of use

Sun, 9 Jan 2000 20:36:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author barry_kaplan - I needed a DVD & CD player for my new apartment. Having used Sony CD player products before, and not being too impressed with the functionality of other CD players, I decided to return to the fold. The DVP-C650D is well designed in the typical...

Exceeded all expectations

Tue, 28 Dec 1999 03:16:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author barry_kaplan - I like it! - I have been a fan of larger speakers since I bought my first home theater system. I came across multiple BOSE advertisements in the press, on TV and in the movie theatre, and was convinced that the dinky speakers were some sort of gimmick...
