Fancy features, but still just a point and shoot...

Fri, 17 Oct 2008 05:40:07 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ehwang - I'm a Nikon enthusiast. I own two professional digital SLR bodies and several lenses, but I wanted something small to carry around when I didn't want to lug a big SLR around. You know, night on the town or anywhere where a big camera would attract too...

A D3 in D300 clothing. a great camera but not a great value

Sun, 21 Sep 2008 20:58:13 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ehwang - I bought the D700 as my primary camera and relegated my D300 to backup status. All I really wanted was a second body but in hindsight I think the D700 is overpriced for the image quality improvements and the few additional features it...

THE Essential Superwide Digital Lens

Mon, 2 Jun 2008 18:27:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ehwang - I agonized for weeks over which super-wide angle lens to buy for my Nikon DX systems and in the end I spent the extra money on this one and I'm happy to say that I'm not disappointed. Back in my film days, one of my favorite lenses was the Nikon 20mm...

Nearly Perfect Carry-On Case

Fri, 18 Jan 2008 19:51:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ehwang - I'll admit it. I'm a bag addict. I have so many bags because it seems that no single one can do exactly what I need for a particular excursion. So I have large bags, small bags, backpacks, shoulder bags, and rolling luggage. This time I wanted a bag...

The Backbone of an Inexpensive Underwater Camera Setup

Fri, 18 Jan 2008 18:15:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ehwang - I specifically bought the Panasonic FX01 because this Marine case was available and the camera had an underwater mode. However, immediately after I ordered this it became scarce and it took several weeks before I was actually able to locate and purchase...

C'est Magnifique

Tue, 15 Jan 2008 14:41:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ehwang - Lots of Research and Disappointment I spent countless hours pouring over the various reviews of all the different Dutch ovens out on the market and in the end, this is the one that I ended up with. It was expensive but I have no regrets and...

Misleading Capacity Claim

Mon, 14 Jan 2008 14:39:54 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ehwang - I've been thinking about converting my pantry into a wine cellar. But even though it's one of the coolest spots in the house, it would have still required a lot of work to adequately insulate and properly cool the 150 cubic feet of space. In hindsight,...

Higher Model Number and Price Doesn't Mean It's Better

Sat, 15 Dec 2007 00:00:36 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ehwang - I'll start off first by saying that this is a very useful cool device loaded with lots of great features. I'm just a little disappointed that I must give up features to get others. I started out purchasing the Garmin nüvi 250 but my wife said she want...

FedEx should stick to B2B deliveries

Thu, 13 Dec 2007 21:09:01 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author ehwang - I have to agree with so many of the other posts on Epinions and all over the Internet. FedEx sucks. I've never had a package arrive on the day it was promised because I've either not been home or I haven't been quick enough to answer the door. Twice...

Bulky, but great sound and convenience

Sat, 13 Oct 2007 04:13:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ehwang - These are now my 5th pair of bluetooth wireless headphones and I think I've finally found one that does just what I want: great sounding streaming music from my iPod and simultaneously make or take calls from my Blackberry. In my typical fashion,...

Tiny, but not the best value

Fri, 27 Jul 2007 19:28:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ehwang - Don't get me wrong. The Mac mini is a great little computer, but in its base configuration, it's not the idea computer. But we'll get to that later. I bought the Mac mini because I attempted to upgrade my Windows PC to run Vista. $600 later, Vista was...

Goofy name, wireless yes, well designed no

Radio Remote I decided to try other alternatives. Since I also just recently purchased a B

This apple is rotten...

Fri, 29 Dec 2006 04:56:09 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author ehwang - What a disappointment this product is for me. Being an Apple branded product, I expected much better. I needed a remote so I didn't have to take my iPod out of my backpack to make adjustments. The radio was just a nice extra. Unfortunately, I bought...

The world is your oyster...

Thu, 28 Dec 2006 17:43:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ehwang - I finally had to buy a new phone when my old Motorola stopped working. Initially, I was just going to buy a very basic phone but after a friend showed me her new Blackberry Pearl, I decided I "needed" this phone. This is my first Blackberry device,...

A black day for my PC...maybe

Tue, 29 Aug 2006 05:55:49 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ehwang - I used to be a Mac aficionado back in the days of the Lisa, Mac 512K and Mac Plus, with my own little Appletalk network and even the LaserWriter Plus. At the time, it was state-of-the-art for doing things like graphics and desktop publishing. Heck, I...

Leaves me feeling cold...

Thu, 2 Feb 2006 15:55:17 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ehwang - I've been lucky that most of my impulse purchases have worked out for the best for me. However, I can't say that this purchase was one of them. Oh, don't get me wrong; I like this refrigerator so far and I'm happy with its performance. I am just not...

Another great Gitzo product

Mon, 30 Jan 2006 19:52:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ehwang - I own two Gitzo tripods so it would only be natural to choose a Gitzo when I needed a new monopod. I lost my Bogen monopod somewhere in China and found the Gitzo G1566 at a camera store in Hong Kong. At $115US, the price was right so it was an easy sale...

Not worth the $3 that I paid

Mon, 30 Jan 2006 18:44:57 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author ehwang - I bought this unit for my wife's laptop as a backup device. We received a $50 award card and when combined with rebates and the sale price, we ended up paying only $3 for the drive. Even for the price, I felt ripped off. I consider myself a "better...

Impressive lighting with all the bells and whistles

Mon, 30 Jan 2006 17:47:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ehwang - I finally broke down and upgraded my flash unit to match the new Nikon camera systems. I don't usually use an on-camera flash since most of my photography is either existing light or big studio units, but I thought this would be better than the little...

Cooks good, looks great, (high style, low budget), but for how long?

Fri, 27 Jan 2006 22:39:18 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ehwang - I've had this range for over a month and for the most part like it quite a lot. I bought the range for a number of reasons. I'm in the process of remodeling the kitchen and even though the existing range worked fine, the almond color just didn't go with...

Finally!

Fri, 9 Sep 2005 03:43:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ehwang - It's about time Nikon produced a camera capable of producing professional level image sizes. Canon had them long ago and they're working on their third-generation of 11 megapixel plus cameras. Now that Nikon has finally made one, let's hope they don't...

If only all hard drives were this good

Mon, 3 Jan 2005 12:43:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ehwang - I seem to go through hard disks at an unbelievable rate. I have tried all the major brands--Seagate, Maxtor, Western Digital and others--but Hitachi has been unusually reliable and the only one I felt inclined to review. A little background is...

amvona.com: Horrible, not recommended unless you're masochistic

Sun, 2 Jan 2005 14:34:34 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author ehwang - Bought a support systems from them via eBay. I felt that they overcharged an excessive amount for shipping (nearly twice what any reputable place would charge). I complained about the shipping as well as the length of time it took to finally receive it...

Amazing Comfort, Great Performance

Thu, 16 Sep 2004 16:23:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ehwang - This is my second Selle Italia saddle that I have owned based on the comfort of my first one. This one ended up on my tandem to replace my old Sel San Marco saddle that I've had for nearly 20 years. It's amazing how much 20 years of technology can...

Best Boom for the Buck!

Wed, 15 Sep 2004 15:48:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ehwang - I've owned a lot of headphones since I first bought one of the original Sony Walkman players back in the 80's. I even have a pair of the first noise-canceling headphones and they still work. But for the price, nothing sounds quite as good as these little...
