a tiny point-and-shoot with a decent feature set

Thu, 12 May 2005 02:19:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author orlyaa - I won't go into all the details of this camera, as I believe the other reviewers have done a good job of that. I wanted to purchase a camera which had low shutter lag, a long-exposure mode (since I want to experiment taking constellation shots and...

Highly functional PalmOS PDA

Thu, 15 Apr 2004 17:29:05 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author orlyaa - The Zire 71 does its job well. The 144MHz processor is fast enough for most all tasks thrown at it, the screen is very usable even in bright daylight, the SD card allows for expandability, and the camera is a nice gimmick. About the only thing I...

Does its job well

Sun, 2 Nov 2003 04:35:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author orlyaa - The nokia 6610 does its job well. That job being, phones calls and SMS messaging. It is nicely-shaped, suitably small, and has an OK display. The GPRS functionality is a decided plus, althoug the lack of Bluetooth might bother you. There is only a limited...

You get what you pay for

Sun, 2 Nov 2003 04:09:03 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author orlyaa - These are the cheapest 15x70 binoculars out there. The Celestron 15x70 Skymaster is the same Chinese-manufactured binocular sold under the Bear, Barska, Galileo, and Oberwerk brands. Although the Oberwerks have better multicoatings and better quality cont...

Not a good first choice

Sun, 2 Nov 2003 03:56:19 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author orlyaa - I have been using an ETX-60AT for about 6 months now. It is a competent 60mm refractor. It does what it does well -- tracking mars at 162X (which is much higher than the recommended maximum magnification for this scope) is good enough that mars remains in...

DSC-S30 Cybershot

Tue, 4 Dec 2001 09:34:39 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author orlyaa - This is my second digital camera. Coming from a purely point-and-shoot model with no creative controls whatsoever, this was a welcome change.

In addition to a point-and-shoot mode, there are two programmed AE modes: aperture priority and...

Palm IIIxe -- PDA on a budget

Sat, 5 May 2001 07:07:44 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author orlyaa - I got a Palm IIIxe after doing a review of what's on the market. The Compaq iPAQ 3650 was not yet available at the time, and I thought the Palm IIIc cost too much. The only competition -- at the time -- that I was considering was the IBM WorkPad c3. But...

Epson PhotoPC 650

Tue, 9 Jan 2001 15:21:27 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author orlyaa - This is the first digital still camera I've ever owned, although I have had the (mis)fortune of using an early-model (640x480) Sony Mavica. I got the PhotoPC 650 because it has the best price in its class (US $270 equivalent). Digital camera availability...

Nokia 6210: A True Geek's Dream Phone

Sat, 9 Dec 2000 06:14:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author orlyaa - I just recently got a Nokia 6210 European model to replace my aging but still functional 6150. Since the 6210 is an upgrade of the 6110 (which in turn is very similar to the 6150, being a single-band version) I was able to get things working pretty...
