I liked it until it died.......2007-07-13

I really liked this MP3 player when I first got it, except for the color. It was darker in person that it showed on the computer. Besides that, the MP3 player worked great. It was my first one I had gotten and it was easy enough to use since I mostly used it for workouts and just let it play in order. The first problem I had early on was that it would get stuck after 1 certain song I had on it. At first I thought it was just the song because I would power it off then power on and it would work fine on the next song. I probably had it about a year to a year and a half before one day it just stopped working. At first I thought it was the battery because it kept powering off, but when I put new batteries in it, it wouldn't turn on.

It might have been that it could have been easily fixed, but I just would rather go buy a new one instead of dealing with the hassle of fixing it for the price it cost.

Cheap, highly functional MP3 player........2007-01-28

The FM receiver is extremely insensitive. You practically have to climb the transmitter mast and skewer the thing on the antenna in order to get it to receive a decent signal. Other than that, it's great. Battery life is about 2 weeks or so playing MP3s at reasonable volume for 4 hours a day. Sound quality is better than expected for something packaged in a tiny block of molded plastic. You will probably want better headphones than the ones that come with it, but the included ones are good for working out with, since you really won't care if you get them sweaty. Of course, it would be better with more storage. It is extremely lightweight. Having owned a number of personal stereo type devices over the years, this is the only one that I consistently use. The reason is that the size and weight make it convenient to be wired for sound nearly anywhere at any time. I can easily stick it in any pocket while wearing the earphones, and forget that it is there. (Aside from the fact that it is playing music in my ears.)

Couldn't be any happier with it.......2006-08-14

I've been using it on a daily basis for more than 1 year already and it's really great. Absolutely no glitches so far (I've dropped it on the floor SEVERAL times), great battery life !

Great Mp3 Player.......2006-07-26

I had this Mp3 player for 1-2 years before I got my Ipod Nano. I never found anything wrong with it, and for the price I still think it is more worth the value than an ipod. I always reccomend the Creative over the ipod to friends on a limited budget. Here are a few pros and cons that I have noticed.

Pros:

1. This thing is TINY. Easily fits in your pocket, but just big enough to feel it (so you know its still there).

2. Very durable (Especially with the case).

3. Good Sound, never had a problem with scratchy noises or anything.

4. Voice recording is really cool, saves as a WAV file that you can upload on your computer.

5. FM/AM radio has very good reception.

6. The software that comes with it is awesome. Click and drag ripping similar to itunes, but better in that you can convert WAV and other audio formats into Mp3s (Very helpful).

7. Great battery life (better than my iPod's)

Cons:
1. Small screen (but this isn't really a problem considering how small the whole thing is).

2. No playlists, you have to scroll through every single song to find the one you want. I found this a little tedious, but it wasn't that bad because you can go through each song in like 1/2 a second (although that is a problem when you have a couple hundred songs).

Those are the only two cons that I can think of. Oh, and my headphones were magnetic for some reason, I don't know if anyone else's are like that, but thats kindof cool. Overall, I think the pros definetly outweigh the cons, and I would say for the great price, its one of the best out there.

Creative Labs does not offer customer support.......2006-06-01

Purchased this MP3 player in April 2005. Worked great for twelve months - then I had a problem - it was stuck in FM mode, and I could not turn it off (unless I pulled out the batteries each time). Went to the Creative Labs web site for support - nothing there to help my situation - then I sent an email - and they told me that they WOULD NOT ASSIST ME, and then refered me back to the web site. They also gave me a phone number to call - but that IT WOULD COST ME [...] EVERY 30 MINUTES OF "SUPPORT" THAT THEY PROVIDE!!!!
So now my MP3 player is no longer functional, and I need to buy a new one.

Not a very good product.......2001-07-29

This item came without any manual or installation software. The website was useless in providing any support for this item. This CD Rom worked for only a short while after being installed with the generic Windows drivers. My recommendation is to save your money and not buy this product. The discount isn't worth the headache.

Not a very good CD-ROM drive........2001-06-14

Wow,all the other complaints about this product are correct. I purchased this drive in early March and 3 weeks ago it stoped working and I hardly ever use the drive. So do your self a favor and spend the extra bucks to buy a good CD-Rom Drive.

Put this [in the scrap heap].......2001-05-19

I made the bad mistake of purchasing this drive about 2 months ago. I can't say enough bad things about it. I probably should have returned it immediately but I didn't now I [had a bad unit].

Buy a different drive!.......2001-04-08

After buying this drive a few months ago at a local Comp-USA, I'd like to now pass along a few tips to those considering this unit.

I would suggest you not buy this drive IF:

(1) You expect it to work. (Mine failed after 2 1/2 months of light usage.)

(2) You expect any meaningful response from Cendyne tech support. Go take a look at Cendyne's crude webpage and note the general lack of specific info about anything. Be sure to read the terms of the warranty, especially about the need for an RMA number before returning anything. And you'll have to supply info to get an RMA. LOTS of info, even if it has nothing to do with the problem. I was genuinely surprised they didn't ask for blood type.

(3) Don't buy this drive if you ever throw away anything. They probably won't accept it back unless it's shipped in the original box.

(4) And finally, don't buy this if a rebate is offered and you expect to receive it. (OK, I did get the rebate, but only after 12 weeks and a lot of prodding.)

There are lots of good CD-ROM drives out there. This isn't one of them. Buy one from a real manufacturer with a real company, not just a marketing facade.

Nice inexpensive CD-ROM drive.......2001-03-12

I bought this drive after having a good experience with the Cendyne 6x4x32 CD-Burner. It works without problems and it was easy to install. Delivery was prompt and on-time

The M 80 from Cambridge Soundworks might be the best-sounding bookshelf speaker I've ever heard. The sound is rich and room-filling, regardless of what sort of music you like to listen to. I intentionally listened to all sorts of music when I first purchased these speakers - and Ella Fitzgerald sounded just as good as the Stones, and Smashing Pumkins sounded just as good as The Vines. I highly recommend M 80.

excellent sound with a little too much bass.......2005-08-23

I bought these speakers a couple of days ago. They have a beatiful, clear sound - I tried them with classical, jazz, and all kinds of rock - you feal like sitting in a studio behind that glass wall. (And this means better than sitting in the concert hall - live performances rarely sound this good.) Two minor cons to consider:

1. The bass seems a little too strong for me (the speaker actually features a bass booster in the back) and this kind of overemphasizes the bass/drums. But it may be that I'm just not used to speakers with a solid bass. I turned down the bass a little on my amp and it helped a lot. Also, the booster can be wired separately (e.g., if you have a separate channel in your amp), which could help, but I haven't tried that.

2. The color of the sound is quite sensitive to the alignment/direction of the speakers so make sure to place them a little above your ear level, in a 20-45-degree angle from each other.

And yes, they look beautiful.

Great looking and awesome sound.......2002-11-07

For all of you who are sick of black boxes - your wishes have been answered. These blend right into my bookcase, and sound great. Friends can not believe I am getting such booming sound from these speakers. Cambridge makes great stuff, and I have been a fan since they started in the 80s. These speakers are a whole new look updated for them, but they keep all the great sound they are know for. The only drawback if there is one, is that the off white grills should be kept away from peanut butter and jelly hands on little ones. Not usually a problem if your house is baby-proofed. Now if they could only make my TV look better in my living room, my wife would let me get a bigger one!

With a big 2.0-inch LCD screen and an outstanding set of features and capabilities, the SD500 is a digital camera designed to lead the impressive Digital ELPH line.When two premier brands unite, the result is picture perfect. Precision digital imaging from Canon wrapped in the modern American design of Coach. Presenting the sleek, stainless steel Canon PowerShot SD500 Digital ELPH in its own luxurious, custom-made Coach leather carrying case. Exclusive Coach Edition metal neck strap is included for your convenience. It's an exclusive gift for any occasion, brought to you by Canon and Coach.

Amazon.com Product Decription

The SD500 is the first Digital ELPH from Canon to be equipped with 7.1 megapixel resolution -- a major step forward for a camera this easy to use. With Canon's exclusive DIGIC II image processor, a big, two-inch LCD screen, and an outstanding set of features and capabilities, the SD500 is a digital camera designed to lead Canon's impressive Digital ELPH line.

The SD500's 7.1 megapixel CCD (the highest resolution in the Digital ELPH line) delivers images with unprecedented detail. Meanwhile, the powerful 3x optical zoom provides plenty of close-up excitement with a focal length equivalent to 37 to 111 millimeters in a 35-millimeter film camera. The camera's stylish new perpetual curve design -- a first in digital cameras -- fits your hands perfectly, and though its body is superbly slim, the SD500 has an oversized two-inch LCD screen that makes for easy framing and playback.

Designed to improve processing speed and image quality, the SD500's DIGIC II processor provides markedly faster camera startup, auto-focus and playback. Plus, it assures that every image is more accurate, with a broader range and vibrant colors. The processor is so fast and powerful that it could change the way even a die-hard film photographer feels about digital camera image quality and performance.

Canon has added nine special scene modes to help you take the best pictures in various situations. "portrait" sets a large aperture, focuses the subject, and artistically blurs the background to make your subject appear clear and bright. "foliage" captures excellent organic shots, like autumn leaves, greenery, or blossoms. "beach" gets clear shots at sunny locales without darkening faces. Other scenes include fireworks, night snapshot, kids and pets, indoor, and snow.

You can also set the camera to "digital macro" to shoot larger-than-life close-ups, or turn the dial to "underwater" to snap images with reduced backscatter, so you'll see the fish and coral, not your flash. If you're interested in taking pictures underwater, you'll want to make sure you pick up the WP-DC70 from Canon -- a waterproof case made especially for the SD500.

Ready for some filmmaking? With this camera, you can shoot great full motion video at an astonishing 60 frames per second (fps) -- perfect for capturing fast moving subjects. Always thinking, Canon designed the SD500 to also offer a 30 fps movie mode that is perfect for creating video files that are small enough to email.

The SD500 is the first of Canon's compact digital cameras to support the USB 2.0 high-speed standard. You'll enjoy the highest data transfer speeds with any USB 2.0 compatible computer, making it easier than ever to download your digital images from the camera and clear your memory card. Also, this camera's performance level is high enough to take full advantage of super-high-speed SD memory cards.

Why won't Canon stand behind their product?.......2007-08-24

While the camera looks great, the pictures are sharp and ease of use is attractive....beware the E18 error.

After buying this camera I experienced the E18 error out of the box. The E18 is when the lens locks in the open position for any number of reasons; misuse, sand or dirt, touching the lens while moving and, from what I can tell, no reason at all. I returned the camera for a replacement. The second camera worked for 6 months then, to my surprise...E18 error. I called Canon, sent it back and within a few weeks they repaired it under warranty. Flash forward about a year...E18 error. However, now I have no warranty and Canon wants to charge me $195 to fix what can only be a product defect, not my fault, as I take care of this camera very well.

So instead of sending it in for the price of buying a new camera, I google "E18 error" to see if it is fixable on my own. Surprise! There are entire web pages dedicated to the E18. Wikipedia has a page for the E18 error. There have been thousands of accounts and emails posted from inept and rude Canon service reps and managment (although most people I dealt with were kind, but unhelpful).

After unsuccessfully convincing Canon the onus is on their poor product quality and they should at least fix the camera for me, I gave up my quest and bought a new camera...a Sony, so far so good.

Bottom line: Canon will not stand behind its product. This defect, while not experienced by all, has been experienced by tens of thousands (this fact is from Canon itself). After the warranty is out, they will not help you. They will sell you a refurbished camera for $175....no thanks.

I didn't buy a "disposable" camera, however, that is what Canon is selling. Which is only emphasized by their very established policies in dealing with E18 errors. Buyer beware, and at least do your research.

This is my second identical camera that I've ordered. It's really a great camera, that's why I got a second one for my son.
Even though both are refurbished, no one can tell: they look brand new!
And the price is unbeatable.

big step up for underwater pictures.......2007-06-18

searched for weeks for appropriate camera. settled for the canon sd500 when came available locally as never turned on display model at local office supply store. what a great camera. forget all the professional comments about picture edges blurring, color reproduction ablity,etc...this is an excellent, easy to use camera with excellent video capability. it takes excellent regular pictures and videos, but really shines when combined with its underwater casing that worked flawlessly. the clarity of the pictures is easily 200% improved and the ability to take videos that show the fish in motion was incredible. we had another family with us at st. martin and they are buying an sd500 as soon as possible. what a step above any camera i have owned, and the people who market and sell disposable underwater cameras should be run out of business.
pros: size and weight
easy to use
great video capability (paired with 2gb ultra II sd)
optional underwater case works flawlessly
beautiful pictures even blown up on 17 inch screen
cons: everyone wanted to use it at the same time
after seeing the pictures from the first day

No longer use my camcorder... this will do just fine for DVD or web view.

Don't even hesitate to select this sd-500 model.
You will find the pictures amazingly sharp.
What more can you ask for a small wonder like this?

'Am adding a few more words to this superb camera.( aug.2007)
I use this as my main movie recorder, it's that good.
I do have an expensive Sony camcorder that hardly get used because this baby will do everything I need for internet movies on the website.
It's sharp and bright images will dazzle you.

One thing is strange... The price of this model went up since a few years and the newer models may have more resolution and other features, but this one still beats them all for clarity and color.
Canon don't produce this model anymore (?) and seems like people in the know realize how much better this model was then the new ones.
You can buy a new canon with more resolutions for half price then this older model.
See?

Please note:
When you read user's opinion and they trash some product, sometimes they don;t know how to use it or they're abuse it, blaming the manufacturer.

Great Camera.......2007-04-13

This is a very good camera and very easy to use. I have a Nikon D70 and this thing takes night pictures better than my Nikon (I am not a pro hence I may not knwo all my settings). This is also good to capture video, its more compact than your video camera and when you check in, you do not have to take it out like a video camera.
