Amazon.com Product Description

Canon's Sure Shot Z155 combines a powerful 37-155mm (5.2x) zoom lens with simple point-and-shoot operation, making it a perfect choice for soccer parents, wildlife lovers, and anyone else seeking an easy-to-use camera for bringing distant shots up close.

The Z155 is clearly designed for people who want to point, shoot, and let the camera do the rest. Film loading, rewinding, and speed setting are all fully automatic, as are the flash, focus, and all other settings.

If you're feeling more adventurous, the Z155 has a mode dial that adjusts settings for best results in certain shooting situations that can trick a camera's sensors.

Portrait focuses on the subject of your photo and blurs out the background.
Night Scene uses the flash to illuminate items in the foreground and keeps the shutter open longer to ensure the background is also visible.
Action keeps moving items in focus and uses a fast shutter speed to minimize blurring.
Close-Up (also called "macro") focuses on small objects that are close to the lens.
Spot sets the focus and exposure based on the item in the center of your shot--useful when a complex background could confuse the camera.
Personal stores your favorite flash, focus, and exposure settings.

Additional features include a four-mode flash with red-eye reduction and a self-timer.

The camera uses standard 35mm film, and power is provided by a CR123A lithium battery.

Great Film Camera.......2006-12-06

I am really suprised to see such negative comments on this camera.
I always got amazing quality photographs from this camera. It's very easy to use. It's not bulky. It was by far the best film camera I had ever owned.

It blows!!.......2006-05-29

When I went to a football game, I took photos of the game with the flash on. The photos came out too dark when you zoom in. So I decided to take photos WITHOUT the flash. I recognized that the orange button was blinking repeatedly. When I looked in the manual, it said that it was because the camera was shaking, which the camera was still. It said to use a tripod. I got my pictures back, after trying EVERY mode possible without the flash, and almost ALL of them came out blurry. Why make a camera without a flash if all of the pictures are going to come out blurry?? So basically you can only use this camera with a flash or outside or all of the pictures are going to come out blurry?? Canon has been known for making great cameras and scanners/printers. But this camera was just down right horrid when it came to getting a decent picture. It is overpriced garbage and people at Canon should have made a sure shot camera that lived up to its name. The zoom is nice, as it gets good close ups. But when it comes to using this camera without flash, it is impossible without a tripod. I am not about to bring a tripod to a football game. Why have a sports feature on the camera FOR MOVING OBJECTS if the feature is not going to work?? Seems to me, that the folks at Canon are bonafied MORONS!!

A love/hate relationship.......2004-07-30

I bought this camera before reading the reviews, and then was pretty uncomfortable when I saw all the negative comments. That said, I needed a camera for my first trip to Hawaii that was 1)not expensive, 2)light enough to carry around, and 3)uncomplicated. (I am notorious for NOT wanting to read instructions. Some people love to read those fat little manuals from cover to cover. Not me.)
So, I took a roll or two before going on the trip. What I found was not much different than the reviewers before me: the personal setting made horrible, blurry messes, and sometimes the full zoom did the same thing. However, the automatic setting did a great job. So I stuck with that, and almost every photo taken on that setting, out of 11 rolls of film, was beautiful. The camera was ideal for what I needed, especially since I didn't feel moved to go digital just yet, and I'm quite happy with it.

You do have to tell any random person who is taking a photo of you and your friends, to hold the button down FOREVER because it truly does take 4 or 5 seconds sometimes to take the photo.

complicated.......2004-05-22

I purchased this camera to take on a Disney vacation. I decided to use it before the trip to make sure I would be pleased with it. It is complicated to use, even after reading instruction manual. Focusing & centering objects are no easy task; neither is exchanging it for another. Definitly NOT what I had in mind; I wanted a Sure Shot.

Mediocre.......2004-01-25

This camera take GREAT pictures in the automatic mode, but anytime I try to use the night setting or portrait setting, my pictures don't turn out at all or they are blurred. It's such a shame because the pictures in automatic mode are great.

Good camera, clear pics, pretty easy to use.......2005-08-06

Overall I'm happy with this camera. I had to replace a point and shoot pentax. I'm pretty happy with the pics I get with this point and shoot. I've gotten a few blurry ones, that I may have moved. Unfortunately the price wasn't as good when I bought it. It has an optional remote control which I was used to on my pentax and the zoom is longer. Overall a good camera.

Excellent camera ,highly recommended!.......2004-07-19

I was surprised to read all the negative reviews about the canon z155. My own experience with this camera has been basically positive. Since purchasing the camera 7 months ago, the majority of my prints have been sharp, clear, colors bright and true to life. The only drawback i can think of is the pictures do tend to blur when using full zoom without a tripod. I dont think this is specifically Canon's problem, though, because photography books all recommend using a tripod when using a high zoom. At 155mm, one needs a very steady hand or the pictures blur. When I do use a tripod, even my pictures at the highest zoom come out crystal clear. I'd recommend this camera anytime!

Inconsistent.......2004-01-25

Although my canon rebel SLR is incredible and we've had great canon's before, this one is very disappointing and inconsistent. I've had the same problems as others with blurry pictures and delays in taking photos after pushing the button. I'd recommend finding another camera or upgrading to a SLR from Canon (though pricey).

Great Camera - Fun Features - Excellent Pictures.......2003-12-30

Bought this camera in a pinch as our old one broke two days before Christmas. Didn't get a chance to read the reviews here first (and I'm glad I didn't or I probably would not have bought it!). I quickly snapped a roll of 24-exposure film to try the camera out and see if we wanted to keep it.

The pictures came out BEAUTIFULLY! I took some indoors, some out. Some with the fully automatic point-and-shoot, and expermimented with the potrait mode, sports action mode, and night mode. They all came out fantastically!

It's like having two cameras in one - a fully automatic no-brainer point and shoot as well as some features that allow you to be more creative and experimental with photography if you want to. Also a great zoom.

Canon must have corrected the issues that some of the eariler reviewers posted, because I did not experience any of these problems.

Worst camera ever.......2003-10-31

I am so glad after seeing the other reviews to know that I'm not crazy- this camera really is awful! The inconsistent quality of photos is dreadful, with many underlit and blurry for no clear reason. I love my other Cannon and wish they would stay away from making such supposedly "smart" cameras.

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.

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.

Product Description

Ergonomically designed and perfectly balanced, the EOS 33 is a lesson in how cameras ought to be. It features a large selection of pre-programmed modes built into the camera, seven-point area automatic focus, 35-zone evaluative metering, a full specification viewfinder, and multiple exposure modes. It also has 13 custom functions derived from the professional photographers' most used settings. Each control button is exactly where you want it to be, so shooting with the EOS 33 is virtually instinctive.The camera's 35 evaluative metering zones work in conjunction with the seven focusing points in what Canon calls AIM, or advanced integrated multipoint control. The metering follows the focusing so the subject is always correctly exposed in daylight or with a flash, even if it is not in the center of the frame. Focusing can be manual or automatic. Flash metering is linked to the system too, giving optimum exposure indoors and out.The compact size of the EOS 33 makes it easy to hold and use. Selection keys on the quick control dial let the use quickly choose from the seven focusing points, while the top cover has three dials that act as the user interface.The virtually noiseless film transport of the EOS 33 is combined with an ultra sonic motor lens, which also offers very low noise levels. You get unrivaled focusing speeds and a virtually silent operating system.m.

Speeker came defective no power or sound,I,m sending it back

rumble rumble.......2001-02-07

I bought this after returning a KLH 12 inch subwoofer to Costco. It was the second KLH to quit on me. The KLH has more punch than the Audiosource. The SW10 has a more rumble sounding bass rather than punchy. Great for earthquake movies but not music. I might try packing it with foam to see if that improves it.

Great addition for the budget minded audiophile.......2001-01-03

This sub was a great addition to our budget stereo. It has all the necessary controls - level, phase, freq, and autopower. It added a great rumble and feel to our existing speakers without being obnoxious. Highly recommend to accompany bookshelf speakers or a starter home theater.

For the size, this thing really gives a punch when watching DVD movies and music. I have speakers with 8" woofers on them already, but this thing definitely puts the roar back into explosions...it literally shakes the house. I would definitely recommend it!

This is the best ten ever comparing to other tens it has the most explosive bass and the vocals are smooth and it bumps hard i bet u will love it.
