Excellent foolproof camera.......2002-10-29

This camera is very easy to operate and produces consistently high quality results. Good viewfinder...simple controls...easy loading.

I thought the photos would be sharper.......2002-08-03

It's a beautifully made little camera but it just hasn't produced very sharp photos so far. I wanted a film camera since I was tired of the images I was getting out of my Nikon 950 (digital = fuzzy pictures faster). The colors from the Sureshot76 are excellent and it's just so darn cute I have a hard time saying anything critical about it, but looking at images I'd taken with an old, cheap 35mm camera with an old, cheap 55mm lens I'd rather drag around a "real" camera than have to settle for images that really look as if they'd been taken with a disposable camera. But for a grandma-point-and-shoot camera it's dandy, I'll give it to my wife, it's her speed.

Worked well for 1 year........2002-02-03

My wife and I bought this camera because it was simple to use and picture quality was good. That was until it stopped working properly. Now the zoom sticks, sometimes the lense will not close at all and the object in the viewfinder will not zoom as the lense does. It was purchaes in January 2001 and the warranty is now up. Not Happy!

A correction.......2001-08-02

I wrote a lengthy review of this camera recently and need to correct an error.

In my earlier review, I said that the green LED focus indicator light would flash at four times per second under low-light conditions.

I meant to say that it is actually the proximity detector. The minimum shooting distance for the lens is 2/3 of a meter, about two feet, so this is as close as you can get. If you're closer than that, the light will flash at you.

The light also flashes much faster, at 16 times per second, as a camera shake warning. It also lights when autofocus has been achieved, and when the flash is fully recharged. So considering this is a four-function indicator, this is a pretty hard-working little LED!

The other thing I wasn't able to determine in my last review is whether the camera had passive or active autofocus. The camera does have active autofocus, which uses an infrared beam.

Anyway, I have already run the free roll of film I got with the camera thru it and the photos are nice and sharp. This looks to be an excellent little point and shoot to take with you anywhere.

Good little point and shoot.......2001-07-31

I wrote a previous review of this camera, but I intended to give it a 5-star rating instead of 4 stars, so I wanted to correct that here.

This camera was one of the possible gift choices for my 10-year anniversary gift at my company. So I decided to give it a try. The only other small point and shoot camera I have is a Fuji Tiara 1000, which has a fixed lens and is APS format, whereas this camera is a 2X 38-76mm lens and is 35 mm.

I got a free roll of ASA 100 Kodak Gold (12 frames) film so I ran it through the camera over the weekend, and was pleased with the results.

The camera's short zoom lens runs from F4.2-F7.8, and has a maximum 1/500th of a sec. shutter speed, pretty standard for a point and shoot camera in the $100-$200 range. You can find some that are 1/700th, but not too many. The little Contax point and shoots go up to at least 1/1000th of a sec., and my Rollei QZ35W has an amazing 1/8000th of a second maximum shutter speed, but this camera is ten times as expensive as your typical point and shoot model and weighs almost 2 pounds, so it's a tank, and the Contax cameras, although not as high as the Rollei, are still pretty pricey.

But getting back to the Canon Sureshot. The photos look good and are very sharp. I tried shooting photos under bright sunlight with a very contrasty subject, and also the next day it was quite overcast and so I took somemore photos then too. Both sets of prints look nice and sharp. I was a little worried about the ASA 100 film shooting on a foggy day. I suspect the shutter speed wasn't more than 1/60th of a second, but I concentrated on trying to minimize camera shake when I took the shots, since I wanted to test the sharpness of the lens.

Anyway, it looks like I managed it and the photos looked good.

Another nice thing the camera has is a multi-function green LED focus indicator light. But it also does 2 other cool things. It flashes at 12 times per second when it thinks camera shake might be a problem, and at 4 times per second when the light is too low. I suspect the shake indicator actually is telling you about a slow shutter speed that might be affected by camera shake, rather than actively detecting any hand movement, such as video camcorders are able to do, and cancel it out.

The autofocus system is able to handle situations where you have subjects or people in the foreground but the focal frame of the camera is actually centered on the background, much further away. Another nice feature. I was not able to determine from the manual whether it has active or passive autofocus, however. It's better to have passive autofocus. Active autofocus uses an infrared beam, and this can cause problems when trying to shoot thru the window of a car. The infrared beam will bounce off the glass and screw up the focus, unless there is a setting to disable it.

With active autofocus the camera is usually sensitive to vertical lines. However, this can sometimes cause a problem with scenes that lack strong verticals. It would be nice to know what the Sureshot has but the manual just says it has AiAF--artificially intelligent autofocus.

So far this looks to be a good little camera at an attractive price. About the only downside to it is that it isn't as small as some of the more compact point and shoots; however, these usually cost much more money, such as the Minolta 125 Freedom Zoom, which is a nice camera but is much more expensive. Also, many people will perhaps want a longer zoom capability around 3X or so, but I actually prefer not to have anything that extreme because there are too many optical comprises that have to be made in terms of the sharpness of the lens and other optical problems. I understand that some of the newer point and shoot zoom models, such as the new Nikon 125 and the Minolta 125 Freedom Zoom, are incorporating asperical plastic elements, which have done a lot to address this issue, but not having tested them myself yet, I'll stick to the 2X-3X range for now.

One final thing to consider with point and shoots with datebacks like this one, is that many of them will default the dateback feature back to on when you change the film. Since I've only run the one test roll thru so far I don't know how this particular camera will respond, but probably most of them will do that. So remember to check every time you change the roll if it does. If it doesn't, you have one of the few that don't and you're home free.

Also, since it prints the time and date on the lower right corner in a yellowish font, this means you need to be careful about photographing scenes with strong yellow colors in this area, since it may obscure the dateback "imprint."

The camera comes with a better than average camera bag with a main compartment more than big enough for the camera itself, and a smaller external pocket big enough to hold a couple of extra rolls of film. Altogether a nice little camera, especially considering in my case it was free!

Amazon.com Product Description

Now that you've mounted your flat-panel LCD or gas-plasma TV to the wall in true picture-frame fashion, you'll probably need home-theater speakers with a similarly flat, room-friendly design. Enter the AST 220-series loudspeakers, which AudioSource consciously constructed for use in concert with each other. All were designed for wall mounting, and this model, the AST 220S satellite speakers, will also work just fine with standard CRT and projection sets.

Use the AST 220S's as primary left/right speakers with the timbrally matched AST 220C center-channel speaker, and/or as left/right surround speakers in a 5.1-, 6.1-, or 7.1-channel home theater (keeping in mind that you'll need an additional AST 220C to serve as a rear-center speaker for a 6.1 system). For front left/right use, you can either mount the speakers to the wall, as designed, or supplement them with bases for freestanding vertical placement (using the optional AudioSource AST-Base set) or even custom-fit floor stands (the optional AST-Stands).

The AST 220S satellites are sealed (acoustic-suspension) 2-way speakers, each using two 4.25-inch woofers and a single poly-treated silk-dome tweeter. With their 90 to 20,000 Hz frequency response (+/- 2.5 dB), the speakers offer a bit more bass than many satellites, and their performance is easily enhanced through the use of a stand-alone powered subwoofer (such as the AudioSource AST-SUB10) for dedicated ".1" low-frequency surround effects and deep-bass musical tones.

AudioSource recommends using the speakers with an amplifier or surround receiver producing anywhere from 15 to 200 watts per channel (RMS).

Good, but not great........2007-05-14

These are good for the price if you are putting your system together on a tight budget. The picture makes them look black and the desription said "charcoal grey". I don't think that they are charcoal, more like a pewter color. So for those of you tring to have everything match you may have to paint them. The awkward dimensions fit perfectly for what I needed. Just wondering if I had used two of the 220C instead if they would be any clearer or if it is just the same speaker with the logo on the side of the grill inseated of the bottom.

Stable, reliable and fast.......2003-05-13

I've tried several other brands and models, this one is the most stable and reliable thus far. I liked the flexibility of being able to read almost every memory card available; combined with USB 2.0 speeds and 100% Windows 2000 compatibility (uses an existing W2K driver), it was interesting enough to buy one for testing. It loaded without needing administrative access (a good thing), allowed me to use flash memory just like a local disk (edit and save files) has fast read/write times, and recovers well from multiple unplanned device ejects - all of this while looping a movie in Media Player 6.4 all week! I bought 15 more and distributed them to my users, so far so good. I'm considering their DVD-R/CD-RW device next.

Amazon.com Product Description

Reclaim your living room while rediscovering the joy of music. The AudioSource IW5S in-wall speakers are designed to accurately reproduce today's demanding digital music and movie soundtracks. In-wall speakers are designed so that the wall and the space behind it actually become the speaker cabinet. As such, the speaker depth is under 3 inches. Mounted flush to the wall, they require absolutely no floor space. This discrete, compact format is ideal for applications where traditional speakers would be impractical or impossible--or simply unsightly.

In-wall speakers may be used independently where space is a consideration, or to bring music from your living-room system to additional rooms in the house. They handle amplifier loads up to 60 watts per channel, and can also be used to enhance and enrich subwoofer and surround-sound systems, for which they're well suited when mounted just behind and on either side of your home-theater listening area.

The speakers each feature one 5.25-inch polypropylene woofer and a swivel-mounted, 1-inch tweeter, which you can direct as needed to optimize the sound at your listening position.

The speaker terminals will accommodate up to 16-gauge speaker wire, which should be used for longer connections (greater than 50 feet of wire). For shorter distances, 18- or 20-gauge speaker wire will be adequate. You may paint the metal speaker grilles, as well as the frames, to match any room.

What's in the Box
Two speakers, a mounting template (for wall cutting), paintable metal grilles, and a user's manual.

Customer Reviews:

Great for my surround speakers.......2007-01-05

I bought two pair of these speakers to act as the side and rear speakers in my media room. I have a Denon AVR-3806 7.1 CH Receiver driving my setup. I don't think I'm pushing these as hard as I could, but I'm very satisfied when either listening to CDs or 5.1 encoded DVD soundtracks.

They were very easy to install, with a minimum of tools and fuss. Because of the layout of my room, I had to mount them higher then optimal, but the speaker can be slightly adjusted to 'point' the sound.

For my application, I don't think I could beat the price and performance.

Too tinny.......2006-08-10

The sound is pretty crisp and clear, but too tinny. At least the speakers do mount well.

Not a bad speaker.......2004-07-23

For the previous guy who needed the impedence, they are 8 ohm speakers (pretty much the standard and he could have downloaded the user's manual to find this out if he was so inclined).

The speakers come with a wall cutting template that makes it easy to cut the exact hole size needed for the speakers. For an exterior wall with insulation, you may need to buy a wall box to back up the speaker to provide some airspace behind the speaker.

You can paint these to match the wall and they end up looking very nice.

Great value for the price. I paid $40 for the pair, shipped.
