On par or better than the competition

Mon, 30 Apr 2007 13:54:36 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kocho - EDIT 7/13/2007. I've learned some more since I wrote this review, particularly in terms of noise performance of the current Nikon offerings. Most sites will show JPG noise performance out of camera in default settings. When compared this way, the best to...

To get the most out of it you need to know photography

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kocho - I am not going to repeat the list of features - get them off the Fuji site :) This is a successor in the US market of the F10 FinePix that Fuji released some time ago. There was a non-US model, the F11 as well. One might say that the F30 is the...

Good all-around; do not expect "pro" results

Tue, 31 Jan 2006 11:29:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kocho - Being the first to review the lens here puts some responsibility on my shoulders :) I've used this lens for the past month or so in a variety of conditions on my D70s. Images come-out with good color and contrast as they tend to with most good quality...

One of the better offerings in its MSRP range

Wed, 13 Jul 2005 13:30:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kocho - In this review I may sound somewhat critical of the TV, because it is not perfect. But understand that it is probably the best you can do for the money, the thin profile, picture quality and a few other criteria I had. I give it a full score with the...

Very good All Season Ultra High Performance tire

Tue, 26 Aug 2003 12:28:43 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kocho - I have had these tires for about 4 months and close to 10,000 miles (75% - 85% highway). They are 215/17-50 size and are installed on 17x7 rims on a '00 Toyota Camry. I am not a very aggressive driver, but performance is important. I was looking for...

Strong and secure budget shredder for small spaces

Mon, 25 Aug 2003 15:29:13 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kocho - UPDATE: 9/18/03: It Broke :( I fed 4 sheets to it, they went slightly sideways and this time it jammed. Hit "reverse" and then the gears started slipping and this was it. I opened it up to see the damage and found out that the motor has a metal gear turni...

A mixed bag

Sun, 20 Apr 2003 11:17:01 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kocho - I have been using the AVS dB tires (205/65-15 size) on my '00 Toyota Camry LE 4 cyl. for about a year now. About 25 - 30 K on the tires now. They replaced the stock Bridgestones when they were at about 35K.

My car has stiffened suspension...

Great 19" monitor

Wed, 2 Apr 2003 17:49:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kocho - The 190M model seems to be very similar to the 191M which has great reviews at CNET.com. The 190 does not have a USB hub and the base is different. Also has both analog and DVI inputs. The base is adjustable for tilt and rotation. The monitor feels well...

For 99 - not bad

Thu, 17 Oct 2002 10:57:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kocho - I got this juicer after proving to myself that the Juiceman Jr model is not worth it (see my review of this model).

The Juiceman II JM2 model has enough power to go through everything I tried so far without slowing down: beets, carrots (feeds...

Not for everyone

Sun, 13 Oct 2002 14:06:30 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author kocho - I used this for about an hour with the following:

- Apples

- Beet root

- Carrots

- Celery

The verdict - if you would do one cup at a time it is a good choice. For anything more than 2 cups of juice with anything that has...
