Superb features - worth paying for!

Fri, 23 Mar 2001 19:17:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ccn158 - I recently decided to upgrade my monitor to this Executive 710 from CTX. I already new about CTX's quality in the monitor market (as my old one was a 15in CTX), but what greatly encouraged me to do so was the price. The popularity of 17inch monitors has...

Creative Labs 3D Blaster Annihilator 2 Ultra: Total Annihilation !

Mon, 1 Jan 2001 17:33:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ccn158 - With my graphics card sadly lagging behind these days, I decided to upgrade and try out the best on the market - Creative Labs newest card, the Annihilator 2 Ultra.

Let me first say that in my opinion, graphics cards are not what they are...

A superb bit of machinery

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ccn158 - If you think that the Honda looks like a beast, you're right. So if that's not the sort of thing you're after, this bike probably will not be for you. But if you want a bike to carry out all the things you need it to, AND impress the ladies, then keep on...

Mega power!

Tue, 19 Dec 2000 13:20:57 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ccn158 - The Panasonic 'SCAK' series have not really changed over the last four years or so. What you see is what you pay for; big chunky systems with big chunky sound.

And that's what we have got here; I live in the UK, so I've got the SCAK-28, which...

Stylish, but can it keep up with the best?

Mon, 18 Dec 2000 20:01:38 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ccn158 - Sharp, in my opinion, are unfortunate to be operating in a market dominated by bug players such as Sony and Technics, for good quality products such as this will continue to go amiss by the public.

The MX series has always been a direct rival...

A kid's dream VCR

Sun, 17 Dec 2000 19:27:24 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ccn158 - Full marks to Sony for attempting to break into the lower reaches of the VCR market. Although renowned for it's high-end products, it's taken the plunge and released the KS-1 at around $140, putting it into the price range of parents who need a second...

Treble Value, Bass Price

Sun, 17 Dec 2000 19:07:44 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ccn158 - I never really associated AIWA with television manufacturing, indeed until only a couple of months ago I didn't know that they made them at all. However, this effort has pleased me, especially the sound quality. You can really tell that AIWA specialises...

Nokia 7110 GSM Cellular Phone: Versatile and great value

Sat, 16 Dec 2000 15:20:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ccn158 - After the releases of the 8210 and the 6210 (also 3310 if you are in the UK), the Nokia 7110 has now dropped into third place in the priority list of the company; a bonus if you ask me, as now you can pick these phones up cheaply - even for free if you...

LCD Screen well worth the extra

Sat, 16 Dec 2000 12:45:49 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ccn158 - The Canon 400V is essentially an upgraded version of the earlier and popular model the G1000; just that for an extra $150 or so you get a rather impressive 2.5in LCD screen. Well worth the money if you ask me, and I'll detail the added benefits later...

Still going strong

Sat, 16 Dec 2000 11:03:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ccn158 - I decided that I needed a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) to cope with my ever growing lifestyle. I found that a pocket sized version of a powerful computer would do the trick.

Admittedly, you need bigger than average pockets to carry this...

A good entry level player

Fri, 20 Oct 2000 17:51:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ccn158 - The Sony MZ-E 60 is a good entry level player if you've got a hi-fi that already has Minidisc facilities, or if you're just broke and cannot afford a fully-recording version. In either case, this model provides good performance for a very decent...

SNK Neo-Geo: Neo Geo Never!

Sun, 24 Sep 2000 18:50:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ccn158 - What let the Neo Geo down in a big way was it's price. And I'd bet that SNK is kicking itself right now, if it had knew how much the video gaming industry had grown.

Nevertheless, the Neo Geo found itself a niche market, with those who had the...

Discreet - but very nice.

Sun, 24 Sep 2000 18:26:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ccn158 - THe Sony CMT-MD1 is the latest in the 'CMT' series of Sony players. Basically this particular family is made for the stylish individual, with each having the ability to be wall-mounted and look unobtrusive. And there's no difference here.

It's...

Does the job well - but poor value for money.

Sun, 24 Sep 2000 10:13:26 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author ccn158 - The DEJ611 incorporates Sony's new G-Protection - making the CD jog-proof - a godsend if you're the active type. I decided to give the new technology a whirl.

And to be quite honest, although it works fine, it's pretty difficult to justify the...

Yuk! Yuk! Yuk!

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author ccn158 - People may claim that you can't distinguish between one lager and another, but with Grolsch you definately can. It's a very distinctive taste, and I'm afraid to say it's not a very nice one.

I think at least half the pubs I've been to have...

Versatile, and very slick

Sat, 23 Sep 2000 22:45:48 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ccn158 - Sony's introduction of the 'Digital 8' format has been a godsend for many people. In short it means that you get digital pictures and sound on to a Hi-8 tape, which is smaller and more friendly than the usual VHS, and is compatible with all 8mm films,...

Small is beautiful

Sat, 23 Sep 2000 20:32:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ccn158 - At the moment, this is the worlds smallest, recording Discman. And what a beauty it is. I've always like Discmans for their superior sound quality to cassettes, and not really got on with CD players as they annoyingly jog, and can be a bit bulky.

Style in the palm of your hand

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ccn158 - The Fuji Finepix is a stylish chap, make no mistake. It's cunningly designed to snuggle up into the back of your hand, and that's a very nice feeling.

Here's what it can offer you:

- 4.3 million pixel image file

- 2400 x 1800...

Take the Risk and get it!

Sat, 23 Sep 2000 18:41:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ccn158 - I've played the board version of Risk, and always wondered: what would it be like to play it on a PC. Now I know: brilliant.

Risk 2 combines new and old elements of the classic board game to make it a superb experience.

The graphics and sound...

Cyber-shot is tops!

Sat, 23 Sep 2000 13:14:30 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ccn158 - It's taken me a while to get into the digital camera fad, but I'd advise anyone to start using these things. Just imagine: no film, no fuss!

And there's few better cameras than the Sony DSC-S50.

A big advantage of this camera over other...

Old Style MPV

Fri, 22 Sep 2000 13:22:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ccn158 - First impressions of the Chrysler aren't that impressive. It looks like an old, almost classic car, albeit one that's slightly bigger. But after a while, you somehow come to love and cherish this veichle.

I realise that this moment in time, there...

Canon - Best Buy Far

Thu, 21 Sep 2000 07:52:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ccn158 - Being a journalist, I've been in close proximity with many cameras. But none as good as the Canon EOS 1-V. You see, this simply is possibly one of the best in the world.

In fact, I'm not even sure where to start, as there are simply so many good...

Merc-urial!

Sat, 5 Aug 2000 08:15:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ccn158 - After months of deliberation, looking through magazines and the like, I decided to trade in my 10-year old Golf GTI, for a Mercedes CL-500.

And it's been the best decision I've ever made.

You're gonna have to bear with me in this...

All Advantage: Don't believe the rest!

Sun, 16 Jul 2000 17:50:43 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author ccn158 - I first joined Alladvantage way back in March 1999, and like many of you, felt great excitement at the prospect of earning money on the Internet.

And while some of us are making money from these programs, lets face it, around 95% are getting...

It should be FREE!

Wed, 12 Jul 2000 06:05:48 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author ccn158 - Being in the UK, Internet access is hideously expensive, and the only good news is that the cost of it is actually falling, and by around Autumn, we're anticipating completely free Internet access.

Which is a bit of a problem for me, as I've...
