I bought this little thing because I was headed to Europe for a little vacation and I had just enrolled in an online course. I wanted light weight and small and at just about 2lbs it fit very nicely in my backpack. I wanted something that started up quickly (average time so far is just 26 seconds plus another 15 to find and connect to wireless) so I was happy to have it running Linux. It really works well (so far) in fact now that I am home it sits on the kitchen counter so I can log on with my first cup of coffee and get my email.
Are there any dislikes? It does get a little warm and the keyboard is small but I don't touch type very fast anyway so no problem. I attached a mini USB mouse and that really helps as the touch pad is small too (although big enough, really). I even watched a movie I had loaded on my USB thumb drive and it was great!. So if you want a second computer to just have available whenever, its a good solution.

After using a Digital Rebel XTI since it's release, I decided to upgrade to the 40D. First impressions are 100% positive - extremely well made, balanced feel, excellent viewfinder, fast & reliable. Picture quality is excellent - lower noise levels at all ISO setting over the XTI. Is it worth the difference in price over the new XSI? In my opinion, that depends upon whether or not a rugged, better sealed body is important. (also note that the XSI is a 12mp sensor). My only complaint is the bundled 28-135mm IS lens - the effects of the IS are barely noticeable. If I had to do it over again, I would have just purchased the body. This lens does take great pictures and the bundled price was exceptional though...
Overall, a great camera for the money!

It's very small and thin, about the height & width of a credit card. I like it for it fits easily in my pocket. The only downside is I wish it came with a protective cover/ or carrying case, because I would hate to crack that big screen in the back.

The Nikon D300 is one of the most versatile advanced amateur DSLRs on the market. In fact, I have built most of my wedding photography business around this camera and its extraordinary potential. At this time, the Nikon D90 has lowered the demand for the D300 which means that its cost has gone down a few hundred dollars from when I purchased it. What a great time to buy!
Similarities to the D3:
1. 51 autofocus points.
2. 8 frames per second (with the battery grip; 6.5 fps without)
3. Customization of features for quick changes in camera settings in the field
4. Excellent weatherproofing
5. Active D-LIghting
Advancements over the D90:
1. D90 features 4.5 fps versus 6.5 on D300
2. D90 cannot meter with old manual focus lenses
3. D90 is not weather-sealed
4. D90 has 11 autofocus points versus 51 on D300
5. D90's fastest shutter speed is 1/4000 vs 1/8000 with D300
6. D90's viewfinder offers only 96% coverage vs. D300's 100%
7. D90 has a 100,000 shutter cycle vs. the D300's 150,000

I researched before I purchased these mp3 players and can't say enough about the Clip. After begging for (and getting) iPod Shuffles, my girls gave them up when they tried these. They are slightly larger than a Shuffle, but still very small. The sound is terrific and the other features such as FM radio, the ability to record from the radio, a viewing screen and great price beat the other brands hands down. The colors are very appealing, too. This Clip was refurbished, but the only thing that didn't appear new was the packaging. The Clip package comes with earphones, a short usb data cable that doubles as a charger and a cd. It is easy to use and you can view the Clip's contents on your computer. One nice feature is that when you add music, you don't lose what is already on the Clip if you have removed the previous music from your computer. It also has a regular mini 5-pin connection, so you can easily find accessories such as chargers/additional usb data cables. I have purchased several

I'm a PC/Mac Technician/Administrator by trade. So I have plenty or experience with Windows and Macs. I've used PCs since there were PCs and I always say I'll use the best tool for the job, and time after time the best tool is a Mac. Whether you're an aspiring programmer, designer, artist, musician or simply just want to surf the web, view e-mail, IM friends or and get your job done easily, a Mac will suit your needs.
I bought this model refurbished off the Apple Store. Anything I say about the computer's Operating System (OS X) usually applies equally to other Macintosh models.
First the Hardware:
For a consumer machine it's surprisingly solid and the weight feels good. The built in camera (standard on Mac laptops and iMacs) is pretty decent as far as web cams go. After months of heavy use the hinges are still snug and the screen is just as bright. 2GB will take care of most people's needs.
Also, and this is very important, since this is an Intel based machine you can install windows

I bought two of these; one was for my wife and one for myself. Not all of the music I downloaded onto it works. It is really frustrating because I've been able to download onto other MP3s. And, I'm not real happy about trying to flip through all the different songs in order to find one I want to listen to. It kind of takes things back to the old cassette tape days. I didn't think that would be such a big deal, but after several uses, it has started to bother me.
I've actually lost interest in using this MP3. I will save a little money and buy a better unit next time.

I had been wanting a Flip camcorder for the longest time. I had an Canon Elura, but got tired of using tapes. I wanted something really compact. I was so excited to finally purchase one and I got my camcorder a few days ago.
I was quite pleased with how easy it is to use! Several reviews highlight that, so I won't go into detail. Battery life seems to hold up really well, better then digital cameras. It comes with a nice velvet carrying case, but since it doesn't have a lens cover, you may want to invest in a tougher case. It comes with software for both Mac and PC. I use a Mac, and found the software to be decent. Very easy to use. It has a feature that will allow instant upload to Youtube. Comes with two AA batteries, cables to plug into the television and wrist strap as well.
I took several video with it yesterday. The zoom feature is TERRIBLE. The quality of the video was really blurry. (look up Star 95 Motorcycle Giveaway on YouTube to see) And because of it's size,

I researched this camera on Amazon, but because it was so complex, I bought it at my local camera store (Shutterbug), paying full retail for the "customer support". BIG MISTAKE. They don't help you at all! They don't even put in the battery or show you anything. I got much more and better support for this when I bought my lenses and extra's from Amazon and it's partners. They will spend an hour with you on the phone talking you through setting it up, even though you didn't buy it from them. Cameta and Adorama are especially good. So, save some money, don't be a sucker like me, and buy your camera from Amazon! BTW, this is one great camera. Really complex, but wonderful. Buy the book "Nikon D300 Digital Field Guide" by J. Dennis Thomas with it!

I have owned a Nikon D70, D70s, D60, and D80. I bought this camera earlier this year and I love it! I use it mainly for weddings. It has great noise reduction. I normally shoot at 400 ISO, and I definitely feel comfortable shooting at 800 ISO and somewhat comfortable shooting some pictures at 1600 ISO. The color is great. It is easy to use for a professional DSLR. The buttons are placed well on the camera body. It's a fun camera to use and performs great for everything that I have put it through!

The Sandisk Sansa Fuze is a quality MP3 player. I've had the 4GB model for about a month. I've got about 1500 songs on it, with about half a gig of space left. I only use it for music -- I don't have any need or desire to see pictures or movies on a less than 2 inch screen. Paired with a pair of Audioengine 5 speakers Audioengine 5 - PC multimedia speakers for iPod - 45 Watt (total) - 2-way - black, it now serves as my primary stereo system. The sound is as good as or better than any component stereo system I've had. It plays for hours -- I think the claim of 24 hour battery life is probably reasonable, although I haven't let it run the battery all the way down before recharging. You can get a wall charger for it for next to nothing -- I got this one:SANDISK SANSA Premium Black Travel Wall A/C Charger for SanDisk Sansa c100 / c200 / e200 Series (although the Fuze is not listed, it does use the same input connection). This charger works great, and it's never taken more than a few

The Aim 2GB MP3 Player/ FM Tuner/ Voice Recorder was a total waste of money. It's controls are so small you need a magnifying glass to see them, but hold on to that magnifying glass because you will not be able read the instructions without it. Since I couldn't see how to use it I thought I would give it to my teenagers they found it to be dull and difficult to use. I can't even return the darn thing because I no longer have the box. In conclusion I would like to say to Overstock ,GET RID OF THAT ITEM!!!!!!!!!

Canon EOS 40D 10.1MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only)
We replaced our Canon 10D with the 40D which was stated to advance the state-of-the-art for mid-range digital SLR cameras. It does that in spades with a newly enhanced 10.1 megapixel inaging sensor offering a fast 6.5 frame per second autofocus continuous shooting capability.
We primarily use this camera for wildlife photography, utilizing some action shots, and the speed sensitivity for this is fantastic.
A larger 3.0 inch LCD screen increases viewing ease, especially important in wildlife photography. Raised brightness levels allow for viewing ease under bright sunlight conditions. Also the larger font size for viewer window text is helpful. The upgraded viewfinder expands the viewing angle to 264 degrees and raises the eye point to 22mm.
The 40D comes with a durable case (black or magnesium alloy) and weather-resistant construction. With a 14 bit Analog-to-Digital conversion process, the 40D is able to recognize 16,384 colors

I recently purchased the Philips 2 GB Flash MP3 Player. It works great, downloaded quite a few songs and enjoy during the day or times of relaxation. Would recommend this to anyone contemplating a reasonably priced MP3 Player. I think I will replace the earphones with a type that is a better fit to my ears. They tend to fall out of my ears, only downside. Volume and ease of operation top notch for MP3 Player in this price range.

I bought the SanDick Sansa Clip because I was having difficulties with my older SanDisk MP3 Player on my service (Rhapsody) I did not want to buy another SanDisk product. However this unit (SanDisk Sansa Clip) was reccommended by Rhapsody and has proven to be an excellent choice. The only thing I am not wild about are the ear buds, Too Big. I have a set of JVC Ear buds that I use and everything is great!

Better and cheaper than iPod, or at least thats what my friends told me. This MP3 Player has an excellent battery life, and an expandable memory slot for microSD cards. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!

My wife and I have been film photographers for over 30 years together. By myself I have been taking photos since the '50s.
Before we trudged into the land of Digital, we wanted a relatively inexpensive camera to test what all the hype was about. I had claimed at one time that I would give up photography before I went digital. The last three rolls of Kodachrome 64 cost us over $30 to buy and have processed.
We anticipated the D700 but did not know when it would be available. To see what we could do with digital, we bought this little gem. We have taken over 3,000 pictures with it since we got it in June. It rests on the shelf now because we got our D700 (and D3 for good measure).
While we used the P80 we were impressed with the quality and features and its ability to translate what we were seeing into meaningful shots. This camera could never be mistaken for a professional or even advanced amateur camera but what it can do is allow a photographer to develop his art. If you are a reasonably

I've been using my new Magellan 4250 for about 2 weeks. I can't complain about the functionality, I upgraded it to the 4.60 firmware and it seems to be working just fine & functions just as I would expect it to. But I'm really upset that Magellan as a company would sell this as a brand new unit and intentionally NOT include the newest updated maps with the unit! Instead they want to sell the updated maps *seperately* for $79.95 as if they are some sort of a "deluxe accessory" you can get if you're willing to pay the extra $$ -- COME ON MAGELLAN - WHAT KIND OF BS IS THIS??!! This is a total ripoff to not include the most updated maps with the unit, or at the very least you should make them a free download! I mean come on -- if I buy a brand new car it doesn't get sold to me with tires that are 10 years old!! I was not very pleased at all, for instance, to discover that my neighborhood and the very street that I live on appears on my 4250 as nothing more than a big green field due to

i really do love this camera; it's great for flexibility and creativity. there's no doubt about that. but there are fair amount of cons:
1) can be VERY noisy since they cram so many megapixels on that smaller sensor
2) had to have it fixed when it first arrived because there were hot pixels in every picture
3) there is a design flaw in the lens. even though it is airtight, if there is ANY dust inside the camera to begin with, the movement of the lens creates a static charge that pulls the dust right into view and has become evident in several of my pictures
i bought it for $430 brand new several months ago, but i think it's probably appropriately worth about $350. now that it's selling around $600 i would just get a lower megapixel DSLR that takes clearer pictures.
