Thu, 19 Jan 2006 22:30:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dennyk - I bought this camera as a refurb for about $280. At the time I purchased it, most competing models were going for around $400, so the price was a good deal for a 5MP 12X zoom camera with image stabilization. I've taken hundreds of shots with it so far...

My one question..."Why?"

Tue, 26 Sep 2000 23:12:36 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author dennyk - "Why?", that is, is the Bible even on this site as a "product" to review? I really think it's silly at best and insulting and demeaning at worst to put a religious text on a consumer opinion site to be reviewed, as though it were the...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dennyk - Hearts in Atlantis, in many ways, is quite atypical of Stephen King's other work...but it shows that King's masterful storytelling works well even outside the traditional horror genre.
