Pinnacle Systems Studio 400: DV Editing on the Cheap

Sat, 30 Dec 2000 12:22:39 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jgpeterson - NOTE: Right now there is no category for StudioDV on Epinions. For now, I'm stuffing it in the Studio 400 category.

For a hundred bucks or so, you get everything you need to get started in digital video editing--that includes the video capture...

Still Love the Manual Controls, Hate the Service Department

Fri, 3 Mar 2000 21:29:26 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jgpeterson - Everything I wrote previously about Nikon Coolpix 950 still stands. I still love the creativity the manual controls afford. I still get visually stunning results. But unfortunately, I've received some unprofessional service from Nikon of late and I would...

Kudos to Sony

Mon, 10 Jan 2000 14:22:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jgpeterson - On the advice of other e-pinions members, I bought the DCR-TR7000 two weeks ago in order to document my New Year's trip to London. Being pretty much broke and jobless, I needed a budget camcorder, but wanted all the features that the digital format...

Love the Manual Controls

Thu, 11 Nov 1999 19:49:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jgpeterson - I bought the Nikon CP 950 last week, and have not been disappointed in the least by its performance. I specifically chose the 950 because it's one of the few consumer-level digital cameras that offers manual controls (the only others I know of are the...

Naples: Don't Miss Pompeii!!

Wed, 29 Sep 1999 12:22:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jgpeterson - I've talked to many who've been to Rome, but many fewer who've been to Pompeii. Perhaps this is because many don't realize how easy--and inspiring--it is to make day trip to Pompeii from Rome. Granted, it is a long day trip, but one that is so...

Hawaii: Great Site for Booking a Last Minute Getaway

Fri, 24 Sep 1999 05:24:58 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jgpeterson - If you've got a hankering for Mai Tais, the scent of plumeria, and swaying palm fronds and grass-skirted hips, I would recommend checking out the Pleasant Hawaiian Holiday's site at www.2hawaii.com.

Last May, I booked a package vacation...

Hollywood: Hooray for Hollywierd

Wed, 22 Sep 1999 02:32:52 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jgpeterson - First, the disillusionment: there are no stars in Hollywood, except the concrete ones that line Hollywood Boulevard. You're not going to see Brad Pitt casually taking a stroll with Jennifer. Those days are as dead as Cary Grant. With the exception of...

Hewlett Packard Pavilion 8570C (D7430A#888) PC Desktop: Robust System at a Fair Price

Sun, 19 Sep 1999 22:12:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jgpeterson - Since buying my HP Pavilion 8570C just over a month ago I've suffered absolutely no buyers remorse. I paid around $1500 for the CPU and accessories (not including a monitor) and was pleasantly surprised with what I got in return: a reasonably fast...
