80% perfect

Thu, 24 Jul 2008 16:22:22 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author huntzinger - Finally, my wife let me drive her new car, a 2008 A3. She's driven Audis since 1990; this is her third one (1990 80, 2000 A4, 2008 A3). My daily driver is a 2002 Mercedes C230K Coupe (stick) and the family toy car is a 1985 Porsche 911. Der...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author huntzinger - So you're thinking about going on an African safari. That's great! Now the hard part begins, for there's scores of countries and within each one, hundreds of operators. --------------------------- ---------------------------Thi

Good as a dedicated photo printer

Wed, 14 Dec 2005 12:27:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author huntzinger - First, a prelude: You might be able to get this printer for free. Canon frequently runs rebates on their photography equipment, and these rebates sometimes include other Canon products, such as this printer. For example, their current...

Summer at the Eiffel

Fri, 3 Jun 2005 18:59:12 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author huntzinger - Paris is known as the City of Light, and my advice is to see the Eiffel Tower at night. It has beautiful, dramatic lighting, plus a fun "sparkle" lights that run for 5 minutes on the hour. This advice sounds pretty easy, right? It is, but there is...

A solid higher-end consumer lens

Wed, 9 Mar 2005 17:27:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author huntzinger - Its always hard to get the perfect lens. Especially if you don't want to spend a ton of money. In the "ton of money" catagory, you have Canon's "L" lens series. Generally, the prices start at $1000 and go up from there. Even if you do have the...

Wife loves it - great to travel with.

Thu, 23 Dec 2004 16:53:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author huntzinger - My wife & I are now in our 40's, and we no longer regularly listen to our CD collection much. But when we go on vacation, we'll pack a CD player with speakers and 10-20 disks. Unfortunately, its gotten to be a hassle due to TSA rules of no electronics...

Liking it more and more

Wed, 4 Aug 2004 15:30:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author huntzinger - Picked up the A80 around six months ago, and with each use, I've become more and more impressed with this camera. The features set is good. The photo's are good. The ergonomics are good, especially with the very convenient tilt/swivel screen...

ETA...March '02

Wed, 9 Jan 2002 19:45:07 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author huntzinger - Performance-oriented hatchbacks are a pretty obscure product niche. Their buyers pretty much know if they are or are not the right time of customer, so you're pretty much either "in" or "out" on the basic design concept before we even talk about...

Would I buy it again?

Mon, 13 Aug 2001 15:32:36 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author huntzinger - I've had a Elan IIe for four years now and I'm looking for an excuse to replace it. Part of it is because technology always moves forward, but part of it is that I was never really happy with some of its functions.

I should start by...

Good value, but...

Tue, 24 Jul 2001 18:33:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author huntzinger - I've had access to a Nikon LS-1000 35mm film scanner for the past ~5 years. Since a full-sized image is a quick 25 Megabytes, its a great way to quickly eat up disk space (grin)...

Nikon provides Photoshop plug-in's and they work well (at...

Go for the food, not the diving.

Mon, 9 Jul 2001 14:44:05 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author huntzinger - As a Scuba diver and Underwater photographer, we spend at least two weeks in the Caribbean each year and whenever we go looking at a new place to try, one of the first questions I always ask is: "How's the Diving?".

The brief answer on...

Watch a climber evolve

Thu, 21 Jun 2001 14:57:11 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author huntzinger - Jon Waterman takes us along on what is essentially a personal journey of his own life with the High One, Denali, how it has changed and how he has changed as well.

First, he is a young, brash climber - a daring individual willing to risk it...

"The ultimate compromise in cost and security." -anonymous

Thu, 7 Jun 2001 16:42:40 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author huntzinger - The Spare Air is often maligned, and rightfully so. On several of the scuba diving discussion groups, it goes by the nickname "Spare Death", which should be a hint.

Stepping back for a moment, the idea of the Spare Air is a good idea: the...

0 for 3 equals a 'strikeout'

Mon, 4 Jun 2001 18:31:34 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author huntzinger - We've eaten at Ruth Chris three times over the past five years.

Each time, it was a nice, genteel restaurant and a nice, if overall uninspired, meal. The dining staff has typically been okay in their service...nothing to complain about, but...

Compact Cruiser Cooks

Wed, 30 May 2001 10:22:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author huntzinger - The A4 was on my short list of recommendations to my wife last year when she went about replacing her ten year old 1990 Audi 80. After two test drives, she chose the A4 1.8T/quattro with automatic. That was a year ago. Today, both of us still like the...

1995 Saab 900: Expensive Repairs

Tue, 29 May 2001 12:09:08 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author huntzinger - I bought this car because its a hatchback, because of its European handling, reputation for safety and because it was a good highway cruiser.

It is a comfortable car, with reasonable handling (compared to a VW Scirocco) and with a wonderful...

Epson Stylus Photo 2000P Inkjet Printer: There's a reason why the 1270 has been replaced with the 1280

Mon, 9 Apr 2001 18:13:45 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author huntzinger - The Epson 1270 appeared to offer it all: vivid, 1440dpi near-photo quality outputs, speedy printing, a wide carriage that can print 11"x14" enlargements, easy setup, etc...it even offered a manufacturer's claim of archival inks that wouldn't fade over...
