Best In Its Class

Fri, 17 Dec 2004 06:08:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rogerngaw - In less than a year, I found myself buying my 3rd DSLR. I started off with the Digital Rebel early this year. Whilst I still think that it is a good camera, I find it a tad slow for my purpose, which is photographing birds in the wild. After missing many...

The Best DSLR In Its Class

Tue, 13 Apr 2004 04:09:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rogerngaw - After years of using digital point and shoot cameras (Nikon Coolpix 950, Canon G1, Canon G2 and Canon G3), I've finally decided to switch to a Digital SLR late last year with the launch of the very affordable Canon Digital Rebel. Finally, you don't have...

Portable Grand Piano

Thu, 6 Nov 2003 00:32:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rogerngaw - Most (if not all) pianist would agree that electric pianos are unable to recreate the feel, tone and touch of a real acoustic piano, be it upright or grand. I guess that's because of the complexity of all the various elements involved - the vibration of t...

Beauty With Brains

Mon, 31 Mar 2003 10:37:57 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rogerngaw - I used to have an Acer Travelmate 350TE until about 6 months ago when I sold it due to infrequent usage. So

When I decided to get another notebook computer recently, I was careful not to fall into the same trap of getting something on impulse and...

Most feature-rich prosumer digicam in the market

Sun, 1 Dec 2002 11:59:37 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rogerngaw - I have been using Canon's prosumer Powershot "G" series cameras since G1. A few days ago, I just sold off my G2 when I found out that G3 has arrived at the local stores.

I have nothing against the G2, in fact, I think it is a great camera. If...

Canon PowerShot S40 Digital Camera: Feature-Packed Camera

Tue, 26 Mar 2002 03:09:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rogerngaw - The Canon S40 has got to be one of the (if not THE) most feature-packed camera in its class. Canon has managed to squeeze most of the features found in the popular Powershot G2 into this pocket-sized body. As much technical details about the S40 has...

Almost the Perfect Camera

Mon, 1 Oct 2001 21:35:10 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author rogerngaw - Whilst considering which camera to upgrade to from my Canon G1, I borrowed my friend's Fuji 6900Z for a week to "test drive". The following is my experience with the camera. I would not dwell into the technical details as these are freely available...

Another Class-Leading Camera From Canon!

Thu, 27 Sep 2001 10:00:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rogerngaw - I have been using the Canon G1 for about a year before I upgraded to the G2. Make no mistake about it - the G1 is a fantastic camera. I didn't think the guys at Canon would introduce a successor to the G1 barely one year after the introduction of the G1,...

Most Spacious SUV In Its Class

Sat, 22 Sep 2001 04:47:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rogerngaw - First of all let me make it absolutely clear that I am reviewing the Escape XLS which is available in SINGAPORE. Some of the features or complaints I have may not apply to those models available in other countries.

I took delivery of the SUV...

Scaled -down Taylor

Wed, 14 Mar 2001 11:18:02 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rogerngaw - In recent times, manufacturers like Martin & Taylor have been going into the "travel-size" guitars, and it seems that there is a healthy demand for such scaled-down guitars.

I for one do not really see the need for a small guitar just for the...

It's a Heavyweight Alright!

Tue, 13 Mar 2001 12:08:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rogerngaw - There are a lot of guitarists out there who opt for either a Strat or a Les Paul but not both. That's because these are radically different guitars. Chances are if you really like one of them, you'll not like the other.

Some very obvious...

THE Photo printer for most folks

Fri, 9 Mar 2001 05:55:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rogerngaw - Epson has a long history of producing very high quality color inkjet printers. I think they have put all their past expertise to good use in coming up with the 870, 875 and 1270 range of photo-quality inkjet printers.

As an avid user of...

Tom Did It Again!

Thu, 8 Mar 2001 11:35:39 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rogerngaw - It is always a joy to watch a Tom Hanks movie. From Big to Apollo 13 to Forest Gump, he has always delivered the goods. It is no different in Castaway.

The plane crash scene was just awesome! I felt like I was actually in the plane!(minus the...

Macromedia Flash 5: Everyone's using it these days

Thu, 8 Mar 2001 04:55:54 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rogerngaw - First off I have to confess that I am not a big fan of Flash enabled sites. That's because when I surf the web, I am usually looking for important information & I find it irritating having to wait (sometimes for a minute or two) for some silly animation...

Not For Everyone

Mon, 5 Mar 2001 22:23:39 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author rogerngaw - I have a cedar top Elite Standard. It looks good, with solid workmanship. The inlays are all made of wood, from the logo on the headstock to the markings of the side of the fingerboard to the triangles on the fingerboard. The bindings on the body are...

Versatile Traveller

Mon, 5 Mar 2001 04:09:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rogerngaw - Acer has always been know for their value for money computers. The 350TE is no exception.

Weighing in at 1.8 kg (4 lbs), it is light enough to be brought with you everywhere you go. It is very thin - less than 1 inch. The top cover features a...

The Ultimate Fingerpicking Guitar

Fri, 2 Mar 2001 10:27:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rogerngaw - I have various guitars because different designs & materials used produce very different sounds for different purposes. I don't believe that there is one guitar that suites all styles of playing.

The 912C is a small sized guitar. Because of...

Budget Taylor

Fri, 2 Mar 2001 10:01:35 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author rogerngaw - I have owned a Taylor 912CE since 1997. I love the guitar & thought that all Taylor guitars are made with the same attention to details & meticulous workmanship. I was wrong.

I bought the 410 because I wanted a dreadnaught for heavy strumming...

Value for Money

Fri, 2 Mar 2001 09:38:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rogerngaw - Fender guitars are legendary, and what make them legendary are most certainly the feel and sound of each instrument. I am only refering to US made guitars, though. I have tried Mexican & Japanese models & somehow, find the feel very different on those...

Great sound & value

Sun, 25 Feb 2001 07:12:48 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rogerngaw - These are serious cans. They are not heavy but certainly not small enough for you to lug around comfortably with your portable MP3 player.

The open back design makes the sound very natural. You don't get that claustrophobic feeling associated...

Amongst the very best

Sun, 25 Feb 2001 07:11:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rogerngaw - I have used a Nikon Coolpix 950 before & upgrading to the G1 made me realise how "primative" the 950 was! The G1 has all the features you'll ever need in a camera. The picture quality is very good.

The lithium ion battery that comes with it...
