iPod 5.5 vs iPod Classic.......2007-09-27
I have the iPod Video 5.5Gen while my friend recently bought this new iPod Classic 80gb. I have compared the two side by side and I must say that the new Classic sports only a couple of new features against its predecessor. The price is quite a bargain though. The menu navigation on the old 5.5G is a little bit faster than the Classic. I bet this is because of the slideshow running in the background while navigating through the menu. The menus are admittedly very sluggish on the Classic as compared to the 5.5G. Good points though are the "scratch-proof" surface, which I think is rather a compromise in looks for functionality. The coverflow concept is also nice but I just wished the hardware could keep up with refreshing the album art thumbnails while browsing. And don't forget to start downloading those album arts.
Back to the iPod 5.5G. Well, this device has entertained me during long drives and has made me sleep for the past several months. It definitely never failed to do its purpose. I learned to love iTunes to make playlists and organize my music. But don't hesitate to use third party software like floola when you need to backup your stuff.
The bottomline is: if you are not one of the early jumpers when a new device is introduced, this device is perfectly cool for you. Honestly, I would've still bought the 5.5G now even with the iPod classic around.
Be cautious though, since this is a hard drive device. But I bet you already know that.
What's not to like?..........2007-09-27
All this complaining, i just don't get it. People need to just step back and think for a minute about how revolutionary this product is. You can carry your whole music library and all your photos around in your pocket and watch tv shows and movies to boot. For my buck, the ipod is still far and away the best option out there. The navigation system is so much better than anyone elses not to mention the sound quality, the itunes interface, or the secondary accessory market. the problem i guess is that they set the bar too high too many times. me personally, i couldn't care less about the ipod touch (who needs it?), i'm just giddy about 60gigs for $249....
They break.......2007-09-26
I dont know if Im the only other person having this problem, There is so much space it is very cool looking and shows picture, never figured out the video stuff, oh and i also owned a 30g older one befor i bought this one, the problem is I run, alot but not like crazy, whatever i just work out, so they break. the running or olyptical makes them jiggle and break on my arm so I am forced to get a Nano, they are work out safe, at least thats what the gyu at the Max store said. SO annoyed I have to buy yet another one just over a year after i bought this one
Big Disappointment.......2007-09-26
I bought new iPod classic 80 GB yesterday and a day later I think I am ready to return it. There are several problems with this iPod. If you never owned iPod before you may not notice these issues. However, if you owned iPod video or iPod photo you will be greatly disappointed.
Things that I don't like:
1)You can't enlarge album artwork anymore
2)The artwork doesn't load immediately when you browse your music.
3)When you browse and click on artist it gives you all the albums that you have and tells how many songs are in each album which I find annoying since I have lots of classiclal music and it doesn't make sense when you read that Mozart's Symphony No.40 has 4 songs.
4) Cover Flow doesn't support all album artwork. Some just won't load on iPod. I don't even bother to talk about that feature. it's useless
However things mentioned above are not major problems. They are very subjective,just something I dislike. The big problem with new iPod classic is its click wheel. When I used my new iPod for the first time I even thought maybe something was wrong with my fingers instead of suspecting that something maybe wrong with click wheel. That's because I had iPodphoto 60Gb for 2 years and it worked exceptionally well. But after reading all negative reviews online I realised that everyone has the same problem with click-wheel. How can Apple allow this to happen when they always brag about their patented clickwheel in the ads is beyond me. It's just a shame. I like the design and the bright screen of new iPod but who wants to wait for music to load for five seconds or who wants to try adjusting volumes multiple times because click-wheel simply doesn't feel your touch.
Like some other reviewer mentioned here I really wanted to buy iPod touch but 16 GB capacity is a joke in our age.I think Apple is just teasing consumers and will probably release 60 GB or bigger versions of iPod Touch close to Christmas to make huge sales. It's kinda sad what Apple has become...
sluggish reaction time.......2007-09-25
i returned it 2 days later, after i've found out ipod nano and old ipod are more responsive. how come apple allow supposedly new products to be released with less impressive user experience than the one they hope to repalce...

When customers are viewed as sheep!! .......2007-09-26
Yes.....iPod created the wave with its beautiful mp3 player line. People loved it and placed complete trust in Apple. What ever comes out of Apple, must be the best and costs reasonably......The business strategy is to take people there before the corporations drop them down and make a helluva lot of money for lesser and lesser. I remember iPods used to come with chargers et. al. which has to be bought seperately now. Now with this jukebox what is called as a 'Classic', No TV out, poorer quality of audio. They brought in a newer and a cheaper chip that is not only a poorer performer but also a feature chopper!! Apple has disabled the TV out in an effort to sell another of their $50 product. AV cables work no more. Tell me something.....why will somebody watch a movie on a 2.5inch screen, unless they are waiting in a stinking airport? I also think their menu-ing system has slowed down a bit. Definitely they have been infected with Microsoft's monopolizing disease.
Here I am one of the first sheep to buy this product.....It is a shame. If you find a 30 or an 80 gb 5.5Gen iPod.....Simply buy it. Run for it since people are drying up this product from the market. I am sure this is an opportunity for other manufacturers to get ahead.
Quality but certainly not perfection.......2007-09-25
I love my iPod, but I also understand it's not going to be for everyone. My primary reason for purchasing this product was to store lots of movies and music for travel. If you don't mind the tiny screen, it's great for a personalized flick on the airplane. And my entire music collection fits on the hard drive with a lifetime's growth that could still be added.
I've noticed people complaining about crashes, rebooting and the redesigned thumbwheel. I have no issues with these items. I have no issues with the music quality.
I do not like DRM or the fact that this iPod requires a special $50 cable to activate TV out features. That's a load, but it wasn't a deal breaker for me since I don't really plan on using mine for watching movies on a larger screen. For a man who can remember paying $400 for 4MB of RAM about a decade ago, I feel like I got a decent deal. I'm a fairly satisfied iPod owner.
This iPod will scratch up immediately. It does not come with a protective shell of any kind. I got mine laser etched with "ad vitam paramus" and I like scratches - they add personality like scars do.
iPod classic has big problem with tv out function.......2007-09-24
The new iPod classic has a big problem for all users of the photo and video functions. You cannot display photos, videos or video podcasts on your TV screen, as you cannot change the TV out function on the iPod from OUT to ON. If you want to see your videos fromthe iPod on the TV screen, then do not buy the iPod classic until Apple has fixed this problem.
Not Impressed! Apple could've done better.......2007-09-24
I have had mine for a week and I've noticed it is slower than the 60Gb and the 80GB models...I've owned all three. The only reason I upgraded to 160Gb iPod was the obvious extra capacity storage. My total digital content has been increasing exponentially with music, audiobooks, photos, movies, TV shows, podcasts and music videos. This 160 GB model is not really 160GB, in fact it is only 148GB when taken out of the box brand new? It seems sluggish when compared to the 60GB and 80GB 5th gene models.
Great Battery Life- Poorer Sound Quality Then The 5G iPod.......2007-09-23
I picked one of these up about a week ago. Battery Life is DOUBLE what my 5G 60 GB unit has. Unfortunately in a side by side comparison sound quality has degraded significantly compared to my wonderful 2 year old fifth generation unit. I did some research and found out Apple has completely redesigned the Logic Board and is no longer using the old Wolfson Microelectronics chip. The new iPod has a dynamically compressed, tinny, metallic sound that can even be heard thru the cheap earphones provided. There is almost ZERO 3D sense of depth and imaging. The sound is so horrible compared to 5G that you can tell the difference thru every headphone tested except for Bose which has almost zero high frequency response. If someone is new to iPod and never owned a fifth generation audiophile quality unit they will probably not have a problem with the sound though.
When I first got the unit it had firmware 1.00 installed and I experienced extremely sluggish menu response. I updated to 1.01 and response is now much quicker though still not as fast as my 2 year old iPod.

Customer Reviews:
Why are iPods so addictive?.......2007-09-25
Being an iPod enthusiast I felt compelled to purchase this new sleeker iPod nano even though I already own the 30GB, the 80GB (5.5 Generation) and the iPod nano (2nd Generation). Curse you Steve Jobs you got me addicted.
Anyway, what is especially useful about the 3rd generation nano is obviously the video capability. With only 8 gigs of flash drive space it doesn't exactly have a universe of memory in it but I'd imagine more than a handful of consumers will enjoy this feature.
What is nice about this nano is being able to downgrade my music library to MP4 (video) format and fit twice the amount of songs on it. Instead of the recommended 2000 songs I can now fit 4000 (sound quality is affected a little but doesn't bother me). Last year's nano only allowed for MP3 music files because of the lack of video technology so for me this was a very convenient feature.
The rumors regarding the click wheel are true, this sucker has a hair trigger but personally I don't find it as troublesome as other reviewers. It just takes a little getting used to, before long I had it mastered and didn't have any problems with overshooting the artist I was scrolling for.
The coverflow feature is another big plus. I enjoy searching threw all my CD covers just like the old school days (which is only about 10 years ago) when all I had was a mountain of CDs and a discman that ate batteries so fast I spent more money on Duracells then on music. Which brings me to my next point...the battery life on the nano (since it uses a flash drive) is a whopping 24 hours when used soley for music. Now this figure is a very lenient number (apple uses unrealistic testing conditions) but I have managed to squeeze as much as 15 hours out of a single charge.
Since this is a new product I haven't seen any custom designed cases for it in stores. So I would recommend getting some of those platic screen protectors because (surprise, surprise) the screen tends to scratch easily.
I've noticed that these Amazon reviews tend to be a little confusing. Some people have reviewed this product and they don't even own it, others review the seller they bought it from and complain about shipping times. Another thing that had me laughing was the fact that Amazon allows customers to review the 4 latest nanos separately, based on color.
For example the Blue 8G Nano recieved a 4.5 star review while the Black 8G only got an above average 4 stars. But wait, the silver 8G nano recieved a perfect 5 star rating. LOL! What is going on here?
The second generation Ipod would have done the job just as well..........2007-09-21
It seems like, only a few months ago, Apple had just come out with the brand spanking new second generation of Ipod era. Despite this realization, yet again, Apple whips out its new and improved third generation of MP3 players. Most of us would probably see this as a money making scheme created by Apple in which they give the iPod a new look and few minor adjustments, and expect customers to willingly spend an extra 200 plus dollars for a "sleeker" version of what they already have. I, myself, fell for the iPod uproar and, despite fact that my present iPod nano was barely 5 months old, I purchased the new third generation iPod nano without a second thought. But is it really all that better from the previous one? If you're looking for better quality as far as engineering, I see no noticeable difference here. Now, if you're all about the kicks that come with appearance and graphic design, you have come to the right place. The new look is no doubt eye catching and a complete contrast to the previous nano, and the addition of cover flow adds for a more colorful music surfing experience. I find the new movie viewing feature on the nanos to be quite unnecessary. If you want to watch movies on your iPod, then I would suggest the iPod classic which has much more memory. A single movie takes up a good portion of the space on a 8GB iPod and that can subtract a lot from music space. If you're content with whatever iPod you have, don't waste your money. The quality is just the same. You just won't be as hip as everyone else.
Great devise but has some useless features.......2007-09-19
Great unit with good sound and easy to use. But the video function is somewhat useless with the tiny little screen. You have to spend at least another $49 to get the cable to show it on your TV (I have not bought one to validate that the cable will do the trick). Memory too small for video anyway. Also the cover flow comes on automatically and is an annoyance when you are trying to do something else (like set the volume). But if you thought the old nano was a good deal, this is great. Smaller screen with no video to make the devise like an 8GB shuffle (with a smaller screen showing the song, etc.) and would really be great.
Ipod Nano Review.......2007-09-18
Looking at the reviews for this new Apple product, it seems like there are more good reviews than bad. I think there is a reson for that. Apple's philosophy is that is you are going to make software, you should also make hardware to run it and quite frankly I am amazed at what you get in this product for the rpice you pay.
I was pleasantly surprised to see that not only has the outward appearance of this product changed, which I find to be a very stylish form factor, but the menu system and firmware have had some incredible improvements. I think anyone who buys this product and states that Apple is out to get them or their money is an idiot. They certainly can find out all about this thing well before it comes out if they really wanted to and some people are never happy. In this product you get a beautiful well engineered mp3 player that is well thought out. Beautiful menus and features and a super easy interface. In an MP3 player I want simplicity. I want to not be able to screw with the file system. After I'm buying an MP3 player and not a swiss army knife.
Most of the other brands out there may do more or less than the Nano does or the Ipod in general, but it does not do it as well as the Ipod nor as nicely. Everytime I have ever bought an Ipod, I have always thought I had something of quality in my hand and the sales figures prove that year after year beacuse people keep buying them. So the people who put down this product are idiots because every electronic gadget will have its quirks and limitations at one point or another. Apple products are no different. I think the Ipod and especially this new Nano make listening to music so much fun. Thank you Apple!
Video was a great add!.......2007-09-17
The new iPod nano I think was one of the best iPods. It's definitely one of the most enjoyable mp3 players around, and they definitely made an improvement on this one. The best add to the nano I think was the feature to be able to play video. It has a nice sized screen, which is larger than the previous one. The 8 gig hard drive is not that bad considering how small it is. I did buy a case and a couple of accessories to go with it since I didn't pay for my iPod nano. And BTW those wondering how I got it just go here: flingk.com/n21v9v1 Saw it on G4TV and it works that's all I have to say. I definately like the new interface they have for the iPod nano, overall this is pretty much the most reliable iPod.

Good Player, terrible organizer.......2007-09-27
The main purpose for me to buy this product is The Teaching Company courses that comes in CD format. I figured that would be a piece of cake to convert them into MP3 and listen to them in my car or at bed time. False. I just cannot organize the MP3 into any playlist that will play them in sequence. Picture this: I am in my bed listening to a lecture 20. After the player finish it, them it jump to lecture 1. Crazy. The same for the Bible. Organizing it by books and chapter was a major task and at the end, I got a huge album calle NVI Biblia comprising all the books and chapter. I could not, for example divide them into albums called Genesis and Exodus and the like. I had to record them using a ackward scheme, like 01 Genesis 01, 01 Genesis 02, 02 Exodus 01, etc., to represent Genesis chapter 1, 2, Exodus (The second book) chapter 1, etc. for which I had to rename every track in the collection of 70 CD times 20 tracks per CD for a total of about 1400 new names. Painful!
Also, the screen should have a mode to display things in landscape, as opposed to only portrait. Long tracks names are chopped and painfully slow to scroll.
Also, I bought along with a Griffith mini radio transmiter to play it on the card, but the sound is terrible and it sounds as a far away station.
In sum, this player is affordable, very good, Amazing Sound quality, fin voice recorder and excelent FM Radio. But it is amazingly difficult to organize. If you just import music and CD, that is fine. If you want it for something more complicated, be prepared to shed lot of sweat.
Apple What?.......2007-09-27
I've put video on it w/o any problem. It does take a long time to cook as all video is in .MOV (Quicktime) format. Sansa Media Converter does not support DVD menus etc during import and will not import CSS or other wise protected video content.
Viewing video on something this small was better than expected but don't bother with anything in wide screen format.
The entire E200 family is so far better than all of the C100/C200 players it's amazing. Don't even bother looking at the C series, especially if you think you might get the Sansa Base Station or about any other Dock for them. The docks work best with the E series.
Great player. Not for Beginners........2007-09-26
I bought this MP3 player to replace my Creative Zen Micro that died on me. I was leaning towards the Creative Zen V plus, which is comparable to the SanDisk Sansa e280; however, there are several reasons why I chose this player. I figured a review was in order after working with the player over a 3 month period.
Note: This review is based off of the "older" model of the Sansa e280.
Pluses
-Long battery life! (20+ Hours, depending on usage and settings)
-Vivid color LCD screen
-Sleek design
-Solid Construction
-Expandable Memory
-Excellent Radio
-Voice Recording
-Video/Image Playback
-Great Audio
-Easy Firmware Updating
Inconveniences
-Wheel feels loose
-Screen goes completely dark without Backlight
-Hiccups or hesitations between tracks in albums
-Buttons can be difficult to press
-Start-up is long
Cons
-NO Organization Software!
-No AC charger
This player really offers a lot to users who are looking for a decent player, even though it has a few extra frills. I only wanted to use my player for music. I am not one for burning my eyes out on a tiny screen. The radio receiver is great, even picks up stations my car cannot get. The player's sleek, small, and well built design makes it ready to go anywhere, but the buttons take some time to get used to until you find the "sweet spot." The hiccups between tracks in albums are annoying, yet are nothing too serious.
After seeing this player and the Creative Zen V Plus sitting next to each other, I was so happy I chose the Sansa e280. The Zen Vs are way too small, in my opinion, and the Sansa e280 fits well into the palm, especially if you have larger hands. Some people may be turned off about the stiff wheel, but I find it nice, since I will not skip over the track I am looking for as easily.
The real down fall of this product is the lack of a media organizer. Some people may find this terribly aggravating, especially if you have never owned an MP3 player before. I tried coping and pasting my music library into the device, which works, but everything was jumbled up. I read in a previous review on this product that mentioned a media organizer called Media Monkey. I tested it out and I really like it. The program is free and even has an itunes feel to it. There are other media organizers and I highly suggest downloading one once you get this player. The only software it comes with is the media converter for images and video clips.
Overall, I think this is a great player that provides most of the essentials, even though it lacks a crucial element for MP3 players. This player delivers and is less expensive than similar devices; definitely better than an ipod nano.
Small,light and very easy to use Mp3 player........2007-09-26
This device is great for so many reasons.It is very light and small but not so small that the buttons are hard to push.It has a very bright display that is easy on the eyes and lets you see your media without any trouble.Transferring music,photos and videos is a very simple drag and drop process that takes seconds to get done.It took only a minute or two to get this device up and running once i opened the box,all you have to do is pop in the disc that it comes with into your pc,install the software and connect the player using the usb cable that it comes with.Within 15 minutes i had all the music and photos on my pc copied to this device and have had no trouble finding all the content that i copied.This thing has 8Gb of internal built in space so you can hold thousands of songs on it wothout running out of room,but even if you do fill it up you can always just pop in a Micro SD card and make some more space.The other nice thing about this player is that it has a standard 3.5mm headphone jack so you can use normal headphones with it.The only reason i do not give it a perfect score is that it comes with a pair of Ear buds that are covered in fabric,these ear buds pop out of the ear very easily and do not feel very good after a half hour of use.I recommend that you buy a pair of Headphones that cover your ears so you don't have to put up with annoying ear pain that ear buds can cause.Over all this device is great for any music lover and the fact that you can customize the treble and bass to any way you see fit is also a nice touch.Music player,Video player,Photo viewer,Fm Radio,Voice recorder,this thing does it all.Great product.
I hated this thing until..........2007-09-23
I didn't think there was anything I could like less than *pod+*tunes. A few years back, I received little Nano as a gift, and one day it committed suicide by jumping out of my pocket into a bucket of water. I saw little Nano's demise as my chance to escape into something better. No Way! Rhapsody and the Sansa firmware made me long for little Nano back...until I discovered ROCKBOX!
For those of you that don't know, RockBox is open source firmware that will run in the player in place of the Sansa firmware (it also runs on several other mp3 players, including *pods). It is great, and its free! It's a bit technical, but these things are not toys are they?
For those of you who are whining about this player, its time for you to go back to school, and study ROCKBOX!

Good bass and noise-reduction, almost-awkward feel.......2007-09-21
Pretty good bass,
pretty good noise cancelation,
only complain is, i get the feeling like my ears are totally blocked when i have them on.
pretty good in all aspects
I Want My Money Back.......2007-09-21
The quality was ok but after a week i saw like a crack with like a burn like mark. After 2 weeks one ear stopped working, then 2 more weeks the whole thing just stopped working. Not to mention it's not very comfortable and don't even think about making someone have a listen(ear wax all over your stuff)
THis product sucks.
Caution if you have small ears...........2007-09-21
I have small ear canals and even when using the smallest pads they would slip out of my ears. Having to constantly reinsert them was a real hassle as I walk in the mornings. The sound quality is ok but nothing special. I finally bought a pair of Koss headphones and they work much better. I cannot recommend this product based on my experiences.
Broke down after a month.......2007-09-18
This does work pretty good at first...
My lab work is quite loud and I needed to increase the volume to 15, but with this only max. 5...
BUT it broke down after a month's use...
I am very disappointed, but will try another product from a more known manufacturer.
You can do better.......2007-09-18
Some of the reviews for these headphones are pretty good. I was surprised, then, to get them in the mail and find them to be unsatisfactory.
The sound is very thin and lifeless--I had to use the EQ settings on my iPod to get anything remotely decent-sounding out of the headphones. Switching to any of the three included earpiece sizes didn't make a difference. Most shocking of all was the realization that the headphones that came with my iPod (free, essentially) sounded vastly superior.
Worth $20? I'd say no.

The Verdict.......2007-09-24
I like this product well made have used alot since i have bought the product and its worth its value.
Best Xbox controller made.......2007-09-17
This is the real thing, only a better price than anywhere else... Get one, it's awesome to play on the couch with nothing to trip up the dog as he strolls by the TV.
It's just a controller.......2007-09-14
It does what it's supposed to. It's got great communication with the X-Box 360, and I don't know what else I could review.
The buttons feel awesome and responde to my touch! The joy sticks feel great and also work as a button when you push them!
Whatever... you get the point.
flawless, black.......2007-09-09
Based on the old Xbox S-controller with added bumpers. This controller can turn on/off the 360 remotely, act as a remote, works on a PC, connects to a headset, etc... It rumbles -- the $600 PS3 doesn't. It connects FLAWLESSLY. Never fails to connect and the connection never drops, ever, even though it's wireless. Battery life is extremely LONG - you'll be able to use the thing forever without recharging. Attachements exist for charge & play, Accessories for quick charge. Options for regular or rechargable batteries.
3rd party wireless controllers for the original xbox SUCKED! The connection dropped, they would malfunction. Everything about this 360 controller is right!
Great design, and it's worth going wireless.......2007-09-07
The design of the XBox 360 controller is great. I like the button layouts, the placement of the analog sticks, and the inclusion of the triggers on each side. The directional pad leaves a little to be desired, but that's a fairly minor shortcoming. And it's nice to have the big green 'X' in the middle to bring up the XBox dashboard at any time. This particular controller is wireless as well, which I consider a must these days. Why use a wired controller when the wireless offers a range of 30 feet and can be used with a rechargeable battery?
Supposedly this controller will run over 30 hours with a set of AA batteries, but I'd recommend just buying the battery pack and either charging it with a Play and Charge Kit or a Quick Charge kit. This will allow uninterrupted gaming as you can charge the controller while you're playing it simply by plugging it into the Play and Charge. Definitely worth it.
One note--many retailers offer the black controller for the same price as the white one. They're essentially the same thing--if you want the black it's worth your time to find someone who will sell it to you for the same price as the white ones cost.

Canon Rebel Xti.......2007-09-27
I was somewhat disapointed in the Rebel Xti, based more on the kit lens that comes with the camera 18-55mm. The lens is very slow, needs alot of light and honestly has not produced any better pictures than the Fuji S7000 it replaced. I should have bought the Canon 50mm 1.8 lens for the same money or waited and bought the canon 17-85 USM lense. I am also not thrilled with the spot metering of the camera. I would recommend buying the body and finding a faster canon or after market lens. I have not seen a significant difference in quality over the point and shoot camera's I own.
Great experience.......2007-09-25
Shipping was a little slow, but that was only because I ordered it right before Labor Day weekend, so that is to be expected. Arrived in perfect condition. Great camera. A+
A gr8 Camera!.......2007-09-24
The Canon EOS 400D / Rebel XTi is a great entry-level digital SLR which improves on its predecessor in many respects. It has higher resolution without compromising noise levels, a wide variety of anti-dust features, a bigger screen which doubles-up for detailed shooting information, the AF system of its bigger brother and fast overall handling.
The only thing that's missing is a cheap lens bundle with Image Stabilisation. This will undoubtedly have potential buyers carefully weighing it up!
Owners of the original EOS 300D / Digital Rebel who avoided the 350D / XT will find it hard to resist the new 400D / XTi. Upgrading will get them a smaller and lighter body with much faster startup, along with a considerably higher resolution sensor, bigger screen, improved AF and anti-dust capabilities. They're all big step-ups and well worth making the move!!
I would recommend this camera for all amateur photographers like me!! :)
Very happy with this camera.......2007-09-22
I already have a Canon Elan IIe, but it's time to go digital. While looking into digital SLR's, I saw that this was the best bang for my buck. Tons of features and a great price. When you compare it to its competition, the Nikon D80, the price is a lot better. It seems that with Nikon, the price gets raised a bit due to its name. But that doesn't always mean its better. For my needs, this is great. It's good enough for a beginner and is more than enough camera if you decide to grow and get more into photography.
My only problem was when I got the camera, it seemed to underexpose pictures. I literally had to keep the exposure compensation up about a stop or so to get normal looking photos. I looked online and saw this was a big problem with a lot of people, so I returned the camera and had a new one sent. The new one is fine and works perfect. Unfortunately, when I called Canon they denied the problem even though it's all over the web on every forum and review. But hey, the new camera is fine....must have gotten one of the bad ones. Maybe they're working on it, who knows.
Also, the kit lens is just OK. It's a bit slow, but for the price I don't expect a 2.8 or 1.4. Maybe consider buying the body only and using the extra money for a better lens.
All in all, I'm happy with it!

I purchase this camera for my girlfriend for her birthday and she absolutely love it! after try the camera for a couple of minutes I end up buying one for my self (on a different color of course) the same model in black looks awesome, very high resolution, perfect size, good zoom, and the metal finish look really sleek
Lens got stuck had to return.......2007-09-18
I bought this camera and loved the look of it, the feel of it, the photos, the size . . . all until, within 2 weeks of buying it and without anything at all happening to the camera to provoke this problem, the lens stopped opening. I would turn on the camera, it would start up but the lens cover would not open. I would turn it off and turn it on again and it would sometimes open the second time and sometimes not. I loved the camera so much I thought I'd give it a day to "sort itself out," but it just got worse. So, I'm sending it back and going to try to find a suitable replacement for what the camera was before it broke.
Perfect Size.......2007-09-18
My daughter wanted a new camera for college. It had to be slim, and easy to use. Sony DSCW55 had very good reviews from previous customers. Picture was clear and didn't break or have problems after a few months of use. She loves it.

Customer Reviews:
review of arm band.......2007-09-25
The general idea is great. I like the "skin" the ipod goes in and the elastic is comfortable to wear. My only problem is that the band just fits my arm. If it stretches at all with time I will have to figure out some way to tighten it. It seems like they were counting on the people who need this item to have fairly large arms.
Good at first but not for long.......2007-09-21
This armband worked great for a couple months but then the elastic started breaking down. It's not made for small arms in the first place so after a while it got really loose and not too comfortable. Also it's open on the front and top so no working out in the rain. :(
mostly good, could use some improvement.......2007-09-21
I've been pretty happy with this product, especially considering the price. My only qualm with it is that the elastic has started to loosen slightly after about a month of consistent wear. As another reviewer mentioned, it's hard to stick your earbud and cable cords into your Nano because the rubber on the bottom gets in the way. However, I just took a pair of scissors and cut a tiny bit away from the slits and it works just fine. When I'm not using the armband for running, I just slip it off, leaving the rubber case around my Nano to protect it. All in all, it's not built to last forever, but it's decent.
perfect!.......2007-09-20
Exactly everything I was looking for; entirely envelopes the iPod Nano for security and protection without covering the wheel, has a protective film for the screen, and the armband is perfect size. So for those of you complaining about it being "too big" either you have not set it up correctly, or your arm has an unrealistically small circumference (FYI: I am a female triathlete). Lift some weights!
Made for Big Foot.......2007-09-17
While the overall functionality of this product is good - it cannot be adjusted to fit my arm. For bodybuilding men only, or bigfoot.
