Amazon.com Product Description

Smoothly designed in a durable aluminum body, the Canon Sure Shot 115u is easy to use and can adjust to most situations to capture clear photos. The 3x zoom (38 to 115 millimeters) provides a wide range of options in snapping your subject. The autofocus system uses 3 sensors to create a sharp and clear image, even when the subject is in motion or off-center. The 115u has several shooting modes such as automatic, action, night scene, portrait, and close-up mode.

Film loading, advance, and rewind are fully automatic for easy operation, and you can even rewind mid-roll as well. The flash can be set to automatic, fill, off, or red-eye reduction. Use the exposure compensation to help show subjects out in under or over lit situations. The 10-second self-timer is useful for self-portraits or group shots. You can also imprint the date onto your photos for record-keeping. This camera kit also includes a wrist strap, soft compact case, one 3-volt lithium battery (CR2), and one 24-exposure roll of 35mm film.

Cannon Sure Shot.......2007-01-24

I was slightly disappointed as it was bigger and bit clumsier than my old Sure shot. I was pleased to be able to buy it as they are all digital now.
I was shocked that I had to go and pay £20 to pick it up from the parcel depot and thought it was a hoax but it was customs and exise duty.Apart from all that I am pleased to have a straight forward easy to use camara as a standbye that won't need charging all the time or run out of memory etc.

Love this camera!.......2006-01-15

This is a very easy to use, lightweight camera. I wish I had bought one years ago. The pictures are very crisp and true to color.

Review for Canon Sure Shot 115 w/Zoom.......2005-09-04

The Canon Sure Shot 115 w/Zoom is a great choice for the price! We took all our vacation picture with it right after getting the camera and were afraid of what we might get. We were pleasantly surprised. The features and zoom were easy to use and the quality of the pictures and lighting were excellent. We will use this camera for a long time to come.

Perfect Camera for that Perfect Shot.......2005-06-11

This camera is great for people who perfer film over digital. I bought it for a photography class and liked it so much I use it everywhere. Its size is ideal for fitting into any pocket. It has exelent zoom. It winds your film automaticly when putting the film in, after taking each exposer and winds all the way back once you have taken the last picture. The flash and shutter can easily be ajusted. You are able to set it so the date and/or time will be printed on the negative. It includes a timer which can release the shutter 10 seconds after pushing the button. Great for vacations or any other occasion. Uses any kind of 35mm film.

If you ABSOLUTELY need a zoom. If not...........2005-01-16

Let me start off by saying that I am a bit of a traditionalist when it comes to photography. All things considered, I would much rather shoot film than digital. I primarily shoot in B+W, with an SLR, process my own film, and if I need a digital copy, I'll have the film scanned. I own a terrific little digi-cam (Canon S330), but I never fell in love with the format. I also use my 24mm and 50mm lens more than any other in my bag.

That being said, I wanted to compliment my SLR system with a small 35mm camera to carry with me all the time. I considered a Lomo, but decided against it taking into consideration the reliability issues. Since I love my EOS Elan 7e and the S330 performs commendably, I choose a Canon Sure Shot 115u. I wasn't very impressed with the first few rolls, but I wasn't expecting much from a point and shoot. After about 10 or so rolls, I did some research (perhaps later than I should have). I learned that the key to a good point and shoot was the speed of the lens. Very few point and shoots have fast lenses, and a big whopping zoom only slows down the lens more. The lens on the 115u is an f5.6 at its fastest, with the zoom fully retracted. This makes camera shake an issue, flash photography a must, and a tripod a necessity indoors.

More than this, the camera is just slow period. It takes a while to open up when the power is switched on, the auto-focus and auto-exposure take an eternity, and even in the "Real Time" mode, there is more than an excusable delay when shooting. I find that all of the modes are more a distraction than a creative enhancement. If you think you need a zoom lens, you don't; move closer to your subject. If that doesn't help, the photograph probably wouldn't have been that good with the zoom lens anyway.

The pictures were OK. If this was the only point and shoot I ever used, I probably would have been happy. Canon lenses are well designed and most of the photographs were crisp and clear. When everything was set right, it took a nice photograph. However, I wanted a camera to take a photograph on the fly. I think Canon engineered a camera that performs well within the limitations of a point and shoot with a zoom. However, with the research I did, I ended up purchasing another point and shoot that I am enamored with, the Olympus Stylus Epic (I reviewed that camera as well).

If you think you need a zoom and are willing to sacrifice the ability to shoot from the hip, then go with this camera. It will serve you well. I still have mine even though it does not serve the purpose intended.

Amazon.com Product Description

Featuring 800 x 600 resolution and 16.7 million colors, the Audiovox FP-2000 20-inch LCD monitor connects to both traditional broadcast outlets and PCs to deliver superior video performance. Because LCD TVs don't have picture tubes--they're actually two glass plates with liquid crystal material between them--they take up far less space than traditional CRT televisions, and this model is no exception, with a depth of only 2.5 inches (without stand). The FP-2000 is so thin that it takes up the same room as the average wall hanging, yet its picture quality is still robust. When on the stand, the monitor rotates 40 degrees in both directions for a wider viewing angle, and 25 degrees upward as well.

Viewers who appreciate authentic movie reproductions will enjoy the 16:9 enhanced aspect ratio, which maximizes the picture area of the screen for select anamorphic widescreen DVDs. The unit also includes many traditional TV favorites, such as a sleep timer (with settings that range from 30 to 120 minutes), a V-chip parental control that regulates mature programming, channel recall, closed captioning, and custom picture settings. The TV also offers a host of additional functions when used as a PC monitor.

The TV also offers a solid audio package, with a 6-watt speaker system (3 watts x 2) and MTS decoding. Among the TV's sound modes are theater, news, hall, and custom--each meeting the needs of specific formats and audiences. The FP-2000 connects to other devices through the component video, S-video, and composite inputs, in addition to the VGA input, three audio inputs, and headphone jack.

Amazon.com Review

Why settle for just an answering machine when you can also have caller ID and a speakerphone in the same unit? The Casio TA-140 also offers all-digital recording with permanent memory, voice-guided operation, and two greetings.

To set up the TA-140, we plugged in the AC adapter and connected the phone line. Without consulting the instructions, we correctly recorded the outgoing greeting by pressing Greeting Record, speaking our message, and pressing Greeting Record again to stop recording. We set the clock by pressing Time and then the up and down arrows, and we set the remote code by pressing Code and the up and down arrows. We followed similar steps to set the ringer (the unit has its own ringer) and the number of rings before answering (between two and nine or set to toll saver).

The TA-140 lets you turn the call waiting/caller ID feature on or off. You can also set the TA-140 to immediately answer calls that don't have caller ID information (caller ID-blocked calls) and set the local area code for caller ID. Unfortunately, the TA-140 supports only one local area code, making the auto-dialing feature less useful in cities with multiple area codes.

To test the TA-140, we recorded and played several messages. Its sound quality was good but not excellent, which is typical for most digital answering devices and is usually due to data compression. We especially liked the handy variable-speed playback feature that lets you slow down or speed up messages as you review them. The unit is rated to record for up to 14 minutes, but in our tests we were able to record only 8 minutes and 35 seconds before getting an out-of-memory error. The longest single message we could record was five minutes. The TA-140's memory is permanent until you press the Erase button, so you won't have to worry about losing your messages to power failures.

Overall, we think setting up the TA-140 was easy, especially with the helpful voice prompts to guide us. The speakerphone and caller ID features make it especially desirable.

Pros:

Easy to set up and use
Adjustable playback speed
Functions as speakerphone
Displays date and time even when there are no new calls

Cons:

Can't hear your prerecorded greeting unless you call the unit
Does not permit multiple local area codes
Recording time is less than 9 minutes

Customer Reviews:

Totally worth the price.......2001-12-03

After my old ten dollar (...) answering machine, I wanted something that did not drop messages, had good sound quality and wasn't too expensive. This is it. I read a lot of reviews saying the voice was tinny but I bought it anyway thinking that was a small compromise for all the features. You know what, the voice isn't tinny. It has timestamps which are good, remote access [...], the option to play messages back faster or slower than normal (which is great for when people leave their phone numbers and you have to hear the whole message again). I haven't used the caller id or switchable answering machine message features. The speakerphone works well and I use it often since I still have my college phone whose battery can't seem to stay charged for more than a few hours--but that's another story. Even shows you the day of the week. Just one thing - if you're erasing the last message, press erase before the message has completed or else it will delete all your messages.

Awesome Answering Machine.......2001-04-07

I purchased this plus an inexpensive cordless to replace my VTech-2960 because, two years after purchase, the VTech turned out to be a costly piece of junk! My kids had this Casio model and were really pleased with all of it's features and its dependability so I decided to get one also. It's great - it has more features than you expect with an answering machine (e.g. Caller ID, remote access, ringer, speakerphone, two outgoing message capability and more) plus it's really easy to program, which is nice for a change! The thing that I like the best though, is the fact that you can program this machine to send the unavailable numbers on incoming calls right to the message center - hasta la vista telemarketeers! No more dashes to answer the phone and then wonder why you bothered. That alone is worthwhile, as far as I'm concerned, but overall I'm very pleased with everything about this answering machine.

Great value for an answering machine.......2000-10-28

The TA-140 is a nice little answering machine. There is a weird flaw in its operational design, which I will describe below, but this is compensated by at least one unique feature that I think is indispensible.

First, the flaw. Although the messages and caller ID log are linked together when you check your messages at home, they otherwise seem to be totally disconnected from each other. Examples: (1) caller ID info has to be deleted separately from the messages; (2) caller ID information can't be accessed when accessing messages remotely; (3) the machine does not even take advantage of the time-and-date info from caller ID to automatically synchronize the clock for the voice time stamps. The caller ID features really could have been better integrated.

But having said that, I must now turn around and point out another caller-ID-related feature that alone is worth the price of the whole machine. Anyone who's used caller ID for any stretch of time will know how telemarketers love to get around anonymous-call-blocking by using phone lines that don't send caller ID information--since the data is "unavailable," the calls are not treated like anonymous calls, so they get through. The TA-140 can be set to answer after the very first ring if it doesn't get a positive caller ID--thus catching both anonymous calls and calls with "unavailable" info, and allowing you to screen them. To me, this feature is an absolute godsend.

As far as all of the usual features one would come to expect from an answering machine, I have no complaints. Calls are picked up reliably, sound quality is good to excellent, and hang-ups rarely if ever cause a blank message to be stored.

Overall, I think this is a good value. More expensive machines might have more logical controls and a less tinny synthesized voice, but it more than adequately does the job.

(Added July 14, 2001: Do not believe the review about lack of remote access. You CAN call in and pick up your messages from this machine remotely, like most modern answering machines.)

no remote access?.......2000-10-15

Without remote access, a longer message recording time (why not a half hour?), and provision for more than one local area code, this seems rather limited and old-fashioned.

Everything you need in an answering machine and more..........2000-10-14

I really like this answering machine. The main reason I bought it was because it has the caller ID / call waiting feature on it. I needed a caller ID box and an answering machine, but didn't want the clutter of having two things on my counter. This unit has it all in one and is half the price of other units that do the same thing. The speakerphone really comes in handy when you are dialing from the caller ID list. There is a check button that lets you check your greeting after you make it. It actually has two out going messages that you can store. It has a ringer on the unit that you can adjust. It also has a hold button. The sound quality was a typical digital sound that was pretty good but not excellent. The only thing that I didn't like was the manual did not come in book form. It came like a folded up map. So refolding it was a pain and finding functions that you wanted to do was also difficult. But that would not deter me from buying this product because it is truly a breeze to set up. Over all I'm really glad I bought this Casio answering machine and would highly recomend it. And the price is certainly very attractive.
