There has to be something better than this

Sun, 9 Mar 2003 12:19:28 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author tharrison02459 - I bought this unit about 6 months ago and it just keeps giving me trouble. For one, the manual is written for the V530, which has a much more extensive set of jacks on the back (s-video and digital for all, not just some as on this unit) and a...

Epson Stylus C60 Ink-jet Printer: Printer is a "loss-leader" for the ink!

Fri, 5 Jul 2002 14:07:12 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author tharrison02459 - I see there are many other reviews focusing on the quality of the printer -- I agree that this is a good printer that is versatile, fast and does a pretty good job. I'll let those reviews stand on their own. My review focuses on one aspect which I did...

Boston's Best (as far as I am concerned :-)

Tue, 25 Jun 2002 22:45:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tharrison02459 - I heard about Olives from a friend in 1992 back before kids and mortgages. They had gone and were effusive. It took me and my wife about 5 years to finally go, and when we did we were blown away. Back before children (BC) we used to go out to...

You can do a lot better than Kodak Max

Tue, 25 Jun 2002 17:02:57 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author tharrison02459 - I would describe my photography as "serious hobby" -- I am not a pro or anything, but I am looking for good quality.

The faster film speed of the Max 800 is great -- you can take more shots in more lighting conditions without needing flash,...

Simple, solid, long extension, smooth action

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tharrison02459 - I looked at a bunch of tripod legs and concluded that you really have to know what you want in order to justify anything better than these legs.

I am not a pro, but I do a fair amount of tripod work. The more I use a tripod, the more I...

Bogen 3055S Heavy Duty Single-Action Ball Head w/ Quick Release: Make sure you need this much; I got more than I needed

Tue, 25 Jun 2002 15:29:03 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tharrison02459 - This is a good tripod head, but to be honest, I think I don't need as much as I got.

The main feature I liked was the single-action adjustment. You can simply adjust to all angles including vertical with one lever. The quick release is great...

Complete flexibility in a film camera

Tue, 25 Jun 2002 12:26:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tharrison02459 - Keep in mind that my comments are not in comparison to other similar competitive products, and there's still a little bit of "wow" factor for the features like auto-focus that my last camera didn't have.

A few years ago after I lost my trusty...

Just right for non-production use

Sat, 4 Aug 2001 19:35:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tharrison02459 - I shoot 35mm color negatives, but wanted a way to combine the creative control and quality of film and darkroom with the versatility and convenience of digital. This Minolta scanner fit the bill perfectly.

I run in Windows 2000, and the USB...

Light, fast, and it works

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tharrison02459 - I had last years version of this notebook. It was so great that a thief broke into my car and stole it :-) But I got this year's version and it is even better, which is saying a lot. Mostly just faster, more disk, and runs Win2000.

So what...

Great Design makes the difference

Mon, 1 Jan 2001 16:13:42 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tharrison02459 - I had one of the early Palm Pilots and was pretty much hooked on the functionality. As a manager I go to a lot of meetings, I travel a lot and I need to be able to keep track of contact information.

But other Palms (and from what I can see...

Player Good; Process way too hard

Sat, 21 Oct 2000 23:46:25 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author tharrison02459 - The player is small and has a good interface. But the process of getting music into the player is way too hard. It might be tolerable if you could get a few CDs on the player at once, but I found that to get good sound quality 64MB is only enough to...

Kelly MacDonald is tremendous!

Sun, 15 Oct 2000 18:04:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tharrison02459 - "Two Family House" is a great story, well filmed and acted, with a fine performance by Kelly MacDonald -- I think this is her first movie ... but it will not be her last.

It's hard to say that romantic comedy is art but there are...

Good, but I wish I had waited

Sun, 15 Oct 2000 17:24:01 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author tharrison02459 - I bought my DC-280 as a hoped for replacement for my old stolen SLR, but also because digital seemed cool. I wanted a camera to take snapshots of my family and friends, but also wanted a camera that could really get a great picture. I am so-so about...
