A Great First Digital Camera

Mon, 17 Mar 2003 15:54:22 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author kajguy - The SiPix SytleCam Blink II Digital Camera is one of the lowest priced cameras on the market and certainly one of the smallest and lightest. I bought this camera for my wife, who is a complete technophobe, for $39.95 at Fry's the other day and hope the...

You'll Understand......

Sun, 28 Apr 2002 14:14:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kajguy - I had a horrible thing happen to me recently. I left my beloved HP 618 PhotoSmart Digital Camera in my car overnight. I guess it was bait for thieves, because they broke in and stole it. My wife was unhappy enough about the $400.00 I paid for that camera...

Is This Really An RCA???

Sat, 27 Apr 2002 22:28:52 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kajguy - Many years ago, I read a future-oriented article about geeks like me producing high quality video on a home computer and the thought has enchanted me ever since.

My first foray into home video was to get a Snappy Video Snapshot device which...

George Foreman GR20CB XL Indoor Grill: A Contender, But Not A Champ

Sat, 5 Jan 2002 14:48:36 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kajguy - OK. I'm going to take a controversial stand. Despite all of George Foreman's "I'm the champ"-style banter, this electric grill from Salton is not the best thing since sliced bread, but it does come darn close. Overall, for a celebrity-endorsed product, I...

A Clie for Mie

Fri, 21 Dec 2001 18:45:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kajguy - I've always been a great fan of Sony, a very innovative company that always pushes the hi-tech envelope. As a Palm OS devotee, I was particularly elated when they elected to enter the PDA market two years ago and introduced their first Clie Palm-based...

Eye Popper

Sun, 9 Sep 2001 14:38:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kajguy - Flat panel monitors have always intrigued me with their alluring combination of small size, low power consumption, low radiation emissions and brilliantly colorful displays. But the price always seems far too much to pay. Not any more.

The...

Mr. Bang for the Buck

Sun, 9 Sep 2001 14:10:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kajguy - Updated 12/21/01

Just call me “Mr. Bang for the Buck”. I refuse to buy anything that is not the maximum amount of quality/tech for the least amount of green. The more for less the better. I’ve owned two SonicBlue (formerly Diamond...

Intel PC Camera Pack: Unfufilled Promise

Sat, 7 Jul 2001 16:25:17 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author kajguy - I’ve had the Intel USB PC Camera Pack webcam for over a year, and, to be honest, I hardly use it. When I first bought it, my mind was filled with the possibilities of worldwide video communication. And, certainly the Intel offers that possibility. It...

The Identical Twin

Sat, 7 Jul 2001 13:53:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kajguy - The Pentax EI-200 is identical to the Hewlett-Packard Photosmart C618 in all important aspects. I own a C618 and so this review might be useful for those of you considering the Pentax, which I believe sells for substantially more through specialty...

The WOW Factor

Sat, 7 Jul 2001 13:45:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kajguy - For the last three years, I’ve been using an Agfa 780c Digital Camera for Web design work. This was one of the first digital cameras and, although, I loved it at first, as time passed, I was less and less enamored of the image quality, less than 1...

It's Not Dead Yet

Mon, 9 Apr 2001 00:29:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kajguy - No, they’re not dead yet. But, these are clearly the end-times for the VCR with recordable DVD on the way and the potentially unlimited choices offered by broadband. One can only wonder how much longer major manufacturers will continue to produce them...

Bally's Does Not Suck (Entirely)

Mon, 26 Feb 2001 20:33:44 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kajguy - OK. I know. This is a fitness chain with the distinction of having its own ******sucks.com web site. The problems with Bally’s are certainly nothing new. However, that does not mean it is not a good value.

Certainly, the first problem with...

It's The One

Mon, 26 Feb 2001 19:37:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kajguy - Let's get right to the point: I really love this phone. No, it’s not the smallest, the sexiest or the most feature-laden phone you can get. What it is is reliable, easy to use and convenient. I have mine hooked up with the full car kit (about $300...

Shark Silver

Mon, 26 Feb 2001 19:22:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kajguy - A year ago this phone (in the guise of the 5160) was retailing $150.00 with a calling plan. Now, as it nears the ends of its product life, it goes for a penny, with a calling plan.

Frankly, I really love this phone. No, it’s not the smallest,...

Eureka Dirt Sensing Dirt Alert Vacuums: It Sucks!

Mon, 26 Feb 2001 17:52:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kajguy - My wife and I have the ideal marriage, with the household duties reasonably apportioned between us. And, things just got better with the addition of this Eureka SmartVac Dirt Sensing Vacuum. If only they would develop a Washington D.C. model everything...

Don't Be Seduced

Mon, 22 Jan 2001 21:55:20 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author kajguy - It's much akin to being on TV's reality series "Temptation Island", only with household appliances this time around: the enduring lure of a sexy body.

Fortunately, it's not often that I actually buy a product that I'm completely dissatisfied...

Never Miss A Beat

Fri, 19 Jan 2001 18:10:57 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kajguy - It has been predicted that if current trends continue that by the year 2030 ALL Americans will be obese. I don’t want to be a statistic so I went out and obtained a Polar Beat Heart Rate Monitor on sale at the local SportMart for $59.95 and I’m glad I...

There Is Truth In Advertising

Fri, 19 Jan 2001 13:32:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kajguy - For once, there is truth in advertising! The Sonicare Toothbrush really works as advertised.

My wife has always had very soft teeth. Every appointment with at the dentist always meant that something would have to be drilled or filled. About...

Almost Photorealistic Finish

Sun, 10 Dec 2000 19:40:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kajguy - Well, now that the election is finally over, the term "photo finish" has taken on a whole new meaning! So, let's talk about photorealistic printing. I've owned several color ink jet printers over the years and I've always wondered when the...

Handspring Visor Deluxe Handheld: No More Excuses

Sun, 10 Dec 2000 19:15:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kajguy - (Review updated 8/2/01)

With some stores, like Frye's Electronics in my hometown of Woodland Hills, CA, now offering "previously loved" (refurbished) Blue Visor Deluxes for $99.00, complete with the leather case, the Visor Deluxe now moves...

2001 Hyundai Santa Fe: On The Way To Sedona

Sun, 10 Dec 2000 19:00:38 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kajguy - I hate to admit it, but, I’ve always loved the thought of writing a ravaging review of what I consider to be a horrible product. Typically, the South Korean car maker's products would offer a very tempting target. But, that would be too easy,...

Aiptek Hyperpen 6000: No Hanging Chad

Sun, 10 Dec 2000 17:49:56 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kajguy - I’ve always loved the thought of being able to draw and design on my computer, but, to do so with a mouse has been a frustrating experience due to the loss of control and finesse. So, a graphics tablet was on my list when I went to the local COMP USA...

2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser: Unrequited Love

Sun, 10 Dec 2000 01:26:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kajguy - A few years ago, I had given up all hope that an affordable car would ever be something worthwhile. But, then there came the VW Beetle and now the Chrysler PT Cruiser. In many respects, the Cruiser is almost the perfect car: it's relatively cheap, it's...

Color My (PDA) World

Sat, 9 Dec 2000 15:30:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kajguy - After being an advocate of Personal Digital Assistants (PDA) for many years now, it is so gratifying to see them emerge from techno-geek obscurity into the bright spotlight of mainstream popularity. Why? Because the concept of a fully capable computer...

The Nethercutt Collection: Secret Treasure

Wed, 6 Dec 2000 15:49:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kajguy - Sylmar, California, about 20 miles from downtown Los Angeles, is a rather unlikely location for what I consider to be an exceptionally interesting museum: The Nethercutt Collection. The Nethercutt has two primary parts: 1) A free car collection with...
