Sony GV-D1000 Camcorder: Another great product by Sony

Sun, 26 Feb 2006 17:15:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dhlacey - The GV-D1000 is not a camcorder, but rather a miniature digital VCR or "video deck", also known as a "Video Walkman". Capable of battery operation, (not supplied with one, however) the GV-D1000 makes a highly portable field editing/playback machine...

Good performance in a neat little package

Sun, 15 Jan 2006 14:35:13 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dhlacey - After looking at a number of coffeemakers and having purchased a Krups FME4, I thought I'd made the right decision. WRONG! The result was an extended nightmare of three returns to the store and four or five returns to the factory due to peeling hotplates...

A nice, inexpensive hand sanitizer

Wed, 7 Sep 2005 16:23:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dhlacey - I picked up this product by mistake when my wife sent me to the store to buy another brand, but she wound up liking it because its nice odor was not overpowering. We keep it in our cars, my wife's handbag, in my fishing tackle box, and tool box. The...

Awful, Awful, Awful...

Sat, 20 Aug 2005 22:18:17 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author dhlacey - ORIGINAL REVIEW: We use our coffeemaker about 4 times a day during the week, and more often on weekends, and we are fussy about our coffee, and especially our coffeemaker. We went through two Brauns over the course of five or six years, and although we...

Very impressive performance, and affordable

Thu, 26 May 2005 13:29:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dhlacey - I purchased this unit at BJ's for $179 a few weeks after they ran out of stock on the older DMR-E30, which I had been pondering for some time, as it seemed to be the best value for the money out there. I'm glad I waited. The ES-10 is significantly...

Thumbs Down for Canon Service

Sun, 15 Aug 2004 12:18:25 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author dhlacey - I pasted the text of this review from my review of the Canon A70, since the camera is very similar. About the only difference is the color of the grip and the maximum resolution available, as the A60 does not have the same capability in that area...

Home Theater Direct: This company aims to satisfy, puts customers first, and it delivers!

Fri, 26 Dec 2003 10:52:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dhlacey - Another positive review for this company. The customer service policy and staff is about the best you will find. They are extremely helpful and very familiar with all sorts of home audio issues, let alone their own products. Everything I've ordered...

Not perfect, put pretty darn close

Mon, 22 Dec 2003 12:49:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dhlacey - After much on line research and trying out many in-store demo units in this price and pixel range, I chose the A-70. Its size is just right-bigger than the Canon Digital Elph and smaller than a lot of others, it's very comfortable to hold and has...

WOW, Great Surround Sound Made Easy -Very Easy

Sun, 22 Jun 2003 17:03:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dhlacey - I did a lot of research into home theater receivers by playing with them in stores and reading revie...

Great Stuff From a Great Band

Fri, 1 Nov 2002 13:16:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dhlacey - Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Tom Petty had something he wanted to say about the music industry in this recording, and he's taken several songs to do it, so he has called this album a "loose concept" type of thing. With Tom becoming one of our...

Getting into HDTV....Worth it! #3

Sat, 6 Apr 2002 12:41:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dhlacey - This is the last review of my three piece, all-Toshiba HDTV system purchase. After living with the SD-3750 for about three weeks, I felt that I was familiar enough with the product to write a review.

This unit is relatively inexpensive for a...

Cyberteria A/V: A very good place to do business

Sun, 24 Mar 2002 11:27:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dhlacey - In a nutshell, Cyberteria offers good if not the lowest prices, and quick, polite service, with NO BULL...

After having been strung along by another online store for nearly two weeks and being promised shipment of a big screen TV "tomorrow"...

Getting into HDTV...Worth It! (#2)

Sat, 23 Mar 2002 19:20:59 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dhlacey - This is the second in a set of reviews of a Home HDTV system. The first review was of the Toshiba HST3000 digital HDTV tuner. The last will be about the Toshiba SD3750 progressive scan DVD player. All my articles have the same title, “Getting into...

Toshiba DST3000 High Definition Digital Satellite Receiver: Getting into HDTV...worth it!!

Wed, 13 Mar 2002 15:55:49 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dhlacey - I purchased the DST3000 on eBay (great deals there on them, folks.) without the DirecTV signup, since I merely needed a set-top box for tuning in the free on-air HDTV signals in the Boston area. The unit was the first piece of my new HDTV setup to...

A Multiple Personality Vac, Still Going Strong 6 Years Later...

Tue, 24 Apr 2001 15:56:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dhlacey - I read about the SC 18 in Consumer Reports. (Am I allowed to say that?) They liked it, and after much shopping, I couldn't find one in MA. So, I ordered one on the Web. Here's my review after six months of use. The SC 18A is a small, light vacuum...

The new, improved (and also more expensive) H3635 is much more than a PDA

Tue, 17 Apr 2001 08:53:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dhlacey - This review is about the "new, improved" IPAQ H3635, which replaces the other 3600 models. As I understand it, the 3630 and 3650 are no longer available.

I first got my hands on a IPAQ back in August of 2000, when my real estate broker asked...

Zoom/FaxModem 56K USB: Excellent performer but no phone jack

Sun, 11 Feb 2001 19:54:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dhlacey - I purchased the unit at Staples (great price) to replace a faulty modem on my office machine so I wouldn't have to take the computer apart. Installation was a breeze, and after going on line , I realized that my connection speed was better. I took the...

Top of the current crop

Mon, 5 Feb 2001 16:57:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dhlacey - After looking at a lot of players, I chose this one as a gift for my daughter. The software is very good, the installation was a breeze, and the unit works perfectly. The display partially failed the first week, and we returned it to Sensory Science for...
