Cameras Reviews

Bought this at Goodguys for about the same price. Whats nice is the sound is so much better and it cuts down on the wire clutter behind my entertainment cabinet. As many are probably wondering, why is it so expensive? For me it was well worth the money. Others might not hear the difference or believe all the Monster cable hype, but for me, there was definately a noticable sound improvement.

I got one of these for $16.97, on clearance at Radio Shack (from $69.99). At this price, it was worth it, but I could never pay $50 for one. Best bet is to get a used or open-box one from a place like Ebay, for much less.

I just changed to all fiber optic cable for my audio connections. Monster has really created an outstanding product. Definately worth the investment.

Though it is mostly plastic, the tripod is surprisingly sturdy and the fluid head movement is great. You can perform smooth pans and tilts in almost any direction without it being jerky. (Only problem is that because it's so light, the tripod will get knocked onto its side if you pan too fast. The best way to counter that is to keep one hand on the base of the tripod.) This is a great tripod if you want to make more sophisticated looking home movies as opposed to the "turn-it-on-and-leave-it-there" look of most videos.

For the price, this is a great tripod. I've used my previous velbon 587-C for 5 years straight, and found it light, easy to travel with, with a perfectly fluid head. Whoever wrote that it's jerky may not realize that there are individual tension settings for every component, so you can set the tension to be light & quick or rock-steady. I shoot with a canon GL1, mainly live events and bands, and I've found this to be a perfectly suited solution at an excellent price.

I spent A LOT of time trying to find a reasonably priced tripod that had true fluid-head smooth panning and tilting. I have my own videography business, and had spent $100 on a tripod that was jerky when you tried to pan or tilt. This velbon cost $60 and is incredibly smooth for pan and tilt. The tripod is a little bit too light weight. i wish it was a bit sturdier. but other than that, excellent tripod for the price. To get a significantly better tripod, you'd have to pay at least $180.

I really like this camera case. My Nikon Coolpix 5100 didn't come with a case and the Lowepro Rezo 15 fits it nice & snug. I'm a bit of a clutz and this allows me to not worry about my camera. It has good padding for protection and the velcro flap is nice & strong so the camer stays in place. I've never used the strap that came with it. I 'm not really a fan of belt loops, but the one on this case is pretty convenient. It's sturdily built and has a strong velcro closure which allows me to take it on & off without having to take off my belt. I've never used the shoulder/neck strap that came with it, so I can't vouch for that.

Not all of the Permafocus Binoculars are this good, but these are fantastic. If you tire easily of adjusting the focus, you won't believe your eyes when you look through these. I have used these on the lake, baseball games and on the golf course. My son dropped a pair on the concrete and misaligned one lens. Luckily I had already purchased another pair and just had to return to the car to get them. I am writing this review because I am looking to buy yet another pair.

Buy and enjoy! You'll be glad you did! Besides, for this price, what have you got to lose??

I got this card to work with a SmartMedia adapter for my Handspring PDA.

I haven't had any problems at all while using this item. The extra 64 megs of space is great. My only problem with it could be the slow speed of the card, but that could be due to the fact that it is attached to a PDA.

Rating: A definite buy

My friend got this product for his rio 500 so he could hold more music. We thought it would be a peice, because of the price, but it turned out to work quiet well. It just plugged in and puff he had a card that could hold as much as his unit for under 50 bucks. i would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a smart media card, and the price is great for a solid product. (it won't break easy because i droped it twice).

How many pictures will it store? It is the most commonly asked question from digital camera enthusiast but usually the question that is the most difficult to get a straight answer about. Well, considering I worked in the memory industry for over 7 years I can help clarify this perplexing question and do so unbiased as I have since changed industries.

The PNY 64MB SmartMedia Flash Memory Card, like most 64MB cards, will store on average 71 pictures when used with a 2 megapixel camera, 53 images when used with a 3 megapixel camera, 32 pictures when used with a 4 megapixel camera, 25 images when used with a 5 megapixel camera, and 20 pictures when used with a 6 megapixel camera. These numbers are based off the assumption that you are going to shoot your images at the highest quality JPEG setting available for the camera and understand that they are estimates and may be off by as much as 10 percent due to numerous factors including the complexity of the scene being shot and the compression algorithm used by your specific camera.

I truly hope this review was helpful to you in determining whether this card is the right capacity for your specific needs.
