Kodak EasyShare Printer Dock 6000 8237448: Fast, easy prints with Kodak dock

Wed, 7 Jul 2004 11:37:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author trevor_d - This is the second Kodak EasyShare Printer Dock I have owned, and it is vastly improved over the first model (the 4000). The first one was very good, but the 6000 is significantly better. For one thing, the 6000 has an improved paper transport system,...

Kodak EasyShare LS420 Digital Camera: Less is more for Kodak LS420

Wed, 22 May 2002 17:23:11 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author trevor_d - Eastman Kodak’s entrée into the fashion camera category is the new Kodak EasyShare LS420. Though not Kodak’s first pocketable camera, the LS420 does stake out some interesting territory in the high-end market. The $299 2.1 megapixel camera is only...

Quantum leaps in SW

Mon, 20 May 2002 12:24:43 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author trevor_d - "Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones" is such a massive improvement over "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace", it is almost difficult to quantify. How much better is a BMW versus a Volkswagen Beetle? Both a German cars with cult followings,...

Motorola V120c: I bought two!

Fri, 26 Apr 2002 11:24:24 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author trevor_d - I was buying a new phone for my wife to replace her aging Motorola TeleTac when I came across the 120c at the Verizon dealer. It fit the bill nicely for her, and I liked it so much, I got me one as well.

One of the big advantages to the 120c is...

Better Palm than Palm's

Fri, 12 Oct 2001 10:37:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author trevor_d - After deciding to give up on my Palm V -- 2 Mb of memory is not enough anymore -- I surveyed the handheld landscape for a replacement. I looked at Pocket PCs, but my earlier experiences owning them were less than superior. I looked at the color Palm 500...

Third time, a little charm

Fri, 20 Jul 2001 21:14:43 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author trevor_d - The reviews so far on "Jurassic Park 3" have been a mixed bag. Some folks, however, would never like this movie. They either don't like dinos, action movies, sequels or "popcorn" movies. This is not "cinema." It's a movie, for crying out loud.

The Max Maxxum

Mon, 16 Jul 2001 23:35:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author trevor_d - I've used several Minolta cameras, from manual focus SLRs to the autofocus Maxxum 400si. I've even used a Maxxum 9, the company's pro-level SLR, for awhile. When I heard about the Maxxum 7, however, I found this was the camera was the one I had to...

Looks FinePix to me...

Mon, 14 May 2001 17:18:28 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author trevor_d - Having used the Fuji FinePix 4700 for nearly a year, I was interested to see if the FinePix 6800 improved some of the short-comings in that otherwise fine camera. I'm happy to see they've had. One of my biggest beefs with the 4700 was the lack of...

Lopsided device falls short

Wed, 18 Apr 2001 17:15:32 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author trevor_d - The mc3 is an okay idea, but is almost half a product. I almost wish I could see the next version of this, because I'm sure it would be something I'd be happier with. The mc3 is a multimedia device for capturing digital stills and video and for listening...

Pocket-zoom powerhouse

Tue, 20 Mar 2001 19:52:35 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author trevor_d - The Kodak Advantix T700 is a nice, pocket zoom camera. The camera is an update of the earlier, very popular T550. The T700 addresses the major shortcoming of its predecessor: No zoom. The T700 has a 25-50mm powerzoom lens, which is adequate. Not great,...

A "preview" of the future

Thu, 21 Dec 2000 17:50:34 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author trevor_d - The Kodak Advantix Preview camera is a great idea well implemented. The Preview is the first film camera to provide a digital view of the captured picture on an LCD screen. The camera harnesses the unique attributes of the Advanced Photo System format to...

A bowser

Sat, 25 Nov 2000 14:27:19 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author trevor_d - There are some things that should just be left alone. "101 Dalmations" should be one of them. (In fact, I never thought they should have done a live action version of the animated classic.)

Like most sequels, this movie basically a...

Meet the Movie!

Mon, 6 Nov 2000 10:51:39 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author trevor_d - My wife and I don't see many movies -- four kids can cramp your social life! -- so when we do, we tend to be very selective. I'm happy to say we were pleasantly surprised by "Meet the Parents."

As you probably know by now, Ben Stiller...

Kodak PalmPix Camera: PalmPix: Buy my beta product

Fri, 3 Nov 2000 14:31:26 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author trevor_d - The Kodak PalmPix is a nice idea which falls short, not only on its own merits. The choice to marry the digital camera with a PDA is not new, but Kodak's is the first real attempt to use the popular Palm platform. Other e-pinion users have covered the...

Little Elph. Big Deal

Thu, 26 Oct 2000 00:51:44 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author trevor_d - The Canon PowerShot S100 Digital Elph is a nice digital snapshot camera. Photographers looking for more bang for their buck, though, may be disappointed by the meager feature set.

First, the basics. The Digital Elph measures just 3.4-by-2.2-by-1.1...

Zoo-be-doo

Tue, 29 Aug 2000 17:18:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author trevor_d - The Toledo Zoo has always been a favorite of our family, and it just keeps getting better and better. Recently, the entrance was completely upgraded and revised to make it easier and safer. Previously, you had to park in the zoo's parking lot, then walk...

Destined to be classic

Wed, 9 Aug 2000 00:59:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author trevor_d - The instant you pick up the Kodak DC-4800, you realize this camera will soon be the benchmark others will be measured against. There are a lot of more than 3 megapixel cameras coming on the market now, but this camera won't get lost in the herd, once the...

idrive.com: Convenient, yet flaky

Fri, 14 Jul 2000 13:43:43 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author trevor_d - I-drive is a great idea that suffers on the execution side. I've used it for a couple months and have enjoyed it. Like other free web-based storage systems, i-drive lets you upload and download files from directories on its site. It's a good place to...

Decent as secondary speakers

Mon, 19 Jun 2000 18:56:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author trevor_d - I'm probably the oddball of the bunch here, because I don't use my Soundman X2 speakers with my computer. I use them to provide sound from my Rio 500 MP3 player, as kind of a shelf system. This three-piece set up looks fine on a bookshelf or other...

Different shape for a new style

Mon, 19 Jun 2000 13:52:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author trevor_d - The Fuji FinePix 4700, despite its awkward name, is a good high-end digital consumer digital camera. It uses Fuji's new SuperCCD technology to capture images up to 2,400-by-1,800 in size. This can generate up to a 4.3 million pixel file, certainly...

UnPop Photo

Wed, 14 Jun 2000 14:37:29 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author trevor_d - Pop Photo is the granddaddy of photo magazines. But, unlike your real grandpa, who is hip and somewhat cool to hang with, Pop is positively geriatric.

The content of this magazine is aimed squarely at old-tyme hobbyists who care about...

Lost Potential

Wed, 24 May 2000 12:45:01 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author trevor_d - After growing up with "Lost in Space" reruns, I wanted to love the movie. Needless to say, I was disappointed. What was most disappointing was the poor decisions made on the script, when so many other good choices had been made.

Search for this Galaxy

Wed, 24 May 2000 11:23:39 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author trevor_d - "Galaxy Quest" is a rare find this days: A satire that doesn't have a mean spirit. Although it does poke fun at the entire sci-fi fan lifestyle, it does so with warmth and affection for the fans. Yes, fans can be kooky dressed up in the various...

Dino déjà vu

Tue, 23 May 2000 12:19:07 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author trevor_d - “Dinosaur” is an ambitious movie that, at times, falls short of its goals. The graphics are fantastic, but the underlying storyline is derivative. My 10-year-old was the first to point out the startling similarities with the animated feature, “The Land...

Pixel-munching monster

Fri, 12 May 2000 11:55:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author trevor_d - The Kodak DC280 digital camera is a top-notch camera, offering high-quality images in a compact package. The DC 280 benefits from solid design and feel; it feels more like a camera than a computer.

The DC 280 really doesn't have any super...
