You'll be able to easily catch breath-taking shots with the Finecam L3v's multi-shooting modes, which include macro, landscape and color (color, sepia, b/w). Five flash modes handle all lighting situations: auto flash, red-eye reduction auto flash, fill-in flash, flash-off or night-time portrait

The Finecam L3v makes it easier than ever to remember when and where pictures are taken with voice recording capability, with up to a 30-second message attached to each image. Additionally, an AVI movie mode enables you to record a movie with sound for up to 120 seconds.

Images are stored on Secure Digital (SD) or MultiMedia (MMC) memory cards; a 16 MB SD card is included.

The camera is powered by a CR-V3 lithium battery (included); two AA-sized rechargeable NiMH batteries are recommended. It measures 4.4 x 2.1 x 1.4 inches and weighs 6 ounces.

LOVE THIS CAMERA.......2006-07-22

THIS IS A GREAT CAMERA AND I HAVE NO COMPLAINTS. IT TAKES HIGH QUALITY PICTURES WHICH I HAVE BLOWN UP TO 18X20 AND THEY LOOK AMAZING.
GREAT PICTURES, GREAT PRICE, VERY EASY TO USE!!

Enclosed battery does work, though its power fluctuates.......2005-01-27

The included battery for this camera at first appeared to be a dud, as it displayed "LOW BATTERY" after only 4 pictures were taken. Though upon turning it on two weeks later, the cam indicated the battery was full. Two people I know who bought this same model told me they had similar experiences, though their batteries 'normalized' sooner than mine. Obviously for this reason I can't recommend this that highly but be aware the battery does contain a normal amt. of power.

For my purposes-mainly photographing items to sell online- this camera is all I could ever ask for. The ease of use and quality of the pics are above par.

In summary, by buying this, you're getting a good digital camera but be aware the battery needs a lot of time to 'break in'.

low battery.......2004-05-24

This is a great camera but which battery will keep its charge to take 50 pictures? I have tried 1800 mah & 2000 mah and the battery gets very low when 10 pictures are taken.

right set of features for a compact; best bang for your buck.......2004-04-12

This is a great little camera, and the price is right. However, you'll need to buy 2 more things in order to be able to enjoy using the camera: a bigger memory card; and a recharagable CRV3 battery. Kyocera claims this camera can run on 2 AA batteries as well as the recommended CRV3 battery. NOT TRUE! I tried both Li AA batteries fresh out of the pack and rechargable NiMH batteries, and the camera could take at most 10 photos before showing "low battery". So I got a rechargable CRV3, and took about 100 photos and it still showed full battery. Now you know the worst about this camera.

Otherwise, the camera is great. The image quality is good. The LCD is great - excellent way to take snaps at parties and have the instant gratification of seeing the image right away at a decent size and resolution. The controls are straightforward and easy to use.

If you're looking for a compact camera with advanced point and shoot features, I highly recommend this one.

Great LCD...well maybe.......2003-12-16

Bought this little jem for it's 2 1/2" LCD screen and the 3.2 mp picture quality. The LCD is exceptional and makes it easy to review photos without glasses as well as to share instantly with friends. The size is right also. When riding my Harley Springer it's easy to keep this camera handy for those instant shots (after pulling to the side of the road).
1. The metal case seems bullet proof however when holding it your right thumb rests against a very slippery portion of the camera body. I can almost feel the camera slipping from my hands if not careful. To prevent this I glued a small piece of 400 grit emery cloth to this area and the problem was cured. (Kyrocera take note: place a few bumps in thumb area to enable a better grip!).
2. Outdoor photos are almost 100% overexposed but can be quickly corrected in your favorite photo editing software. This may also be corrected by using the manual white balance.
3. Take your time when making photos because every photo will be blurred if you don't prefocus first (press shutter button half-way down) before taking the actual photo. If you press the shutter button all the way down when taking a photo it will blur everytime!
4. Buy a soft case for the camera for protection. A bought a perfect one at Target for $3.99.
5. The camera and menu controls are extremely simple a straight forward.

Now that I've had this camera for a few months problems have developed. It seems that once installing freshly recharged 2100mAh batteries I get only 2 pictures before it goes dead. A new CRv5 battery($10 each) lasts for 5 pictures. I'm attempting to contact Kyocera today (5/9/2004) and will post results. I lower my rating to 3 stars but it may go much lower depending on Kyocera's response.

(8/10/02) Kyocera never responded to my concerns! I was totally ignored. Traded camera for a 6" wood planner. New rating: zero stars

Amazon.com Review

Brother's CTS-400 four-line cordless base unit is the backbone of its Quattro telephone system. Designed to handle up to 12 cordless handsets, the base unit offers outstanding range and reception and allows you to expand as your small office grows.

Each Quattro system supports two bases, allowing you to expand the coverage area or increase the number of cordless or Brother CTS- 410 executive phones in use simultaneously. The base unit can handle up to four separate lines; the included line cord manager lets you customize the installation of the base unit and other equipment. You can, for example, connect four lines using four single-line RJ-11 wall jacks, or through two RJ-14 dual- line wall jacks. If you plan to use two base units, you'll need to set the second station's ID number as number two.

We found the CTS-400 DU's range and reception to be exceptional, experiencing little or no interference even when well out of the base station's line of sight.

If you're looking for a telephone system that's reliable and easy to set up, Brother's CTS-400 DU base station provides a strong foundation. --John Frederick Moore

Very good except the range is terrible.......2000-09-29

This phone is almost perfect. It has all the features you might want, is easy to use, and priced reasonably.

Unfortunantly, it has the smallest range of any cordless phone I've ever tried. Even 15 feet from the base station my reception isn't perfect. At 75 feet it is unusable.

Two caveats: I haven't checked the manual to see if there is a magic incantation that's required to get it to work properly. I have only played with two base stations and three handsets so I may have just had bad luck.

Daewoo Woes.......2007-03-08

My Daewoo stopped reading discs after a year of light use by one user. Used cleaning disc numerous times but it didn't help. Just out of warranty. Same experience as other Daewoo dvd player owner.

Daewoo.......2007-03-05

I've had two Daewoo dvd players, one was a normal player and the other was a multi-region. Both of these players after a year or so of normal use just stopped reading discs completely. Cleaning the player did not help. I am now trying to find a better mutli-region player that will LAST. If you are only interested in a years worth of use then this for you, otherwise I'd do what I'm doing and find an alternative.

Region-Free Life Simplifier.......2007-01-11

I was really happy to find this player available on Amazon, since my wife and I enjoy watching Asian films, which for the most part are in Region 3 and would not play on any of our existing equipment.

We haven't had any problems with the machine at all and would happily recommend it to anyone who appreciates foreign films, subtitles and all.

The most recent example was the big screen release of 'The Lake House' with Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves. It was a remake of a Korean film from 2002 title 'Il Mare', which we were able to locate on an Asian media website. However, it was (and is) only available as a region-3 DVD.

The Daewoo region-free DVD player is a most welcome additon to the film lover's home theater setup.

Some info for those of you using larger cards..........2007-04-01

Use SD cards only. The newer SD HC cards did not seem to work for me. Also, make sure your SD card is formatted using FAT and not FAT32. I just bought a 4 GB Transcend card and it came as FAT32. The player can only read from the FAT file system so I had to format the card before using it.

I love this player! Best money I ever spent. I'll update this review if I ever figure out a way to get it to work with SD HC cards.

Best All Around MP3 Player.......2007-01-24

For playing MP3's this is the best unit I have found. Sound quality is awesome! And even though I bought this unit (I bought one for my daughter as well) 2 years ago, it continues to impress me. Yes, the user interface isn't as flashy as an ipod, but it works and the unit is rugged. I love the fact that if the battery ever goes bad I don't have to send it in for service or throw it away, I just replace a standard AAA battery, normal or rechargable. Also, I just upgraded my unit to a 4GB SD card. It works great!! Now it holds over 80 hours of music. I haven't tried an 8GB SD Card but I wouldn't be surprised if it works as well.

My favorite features are:

1. Awesome sound quality!!
2. Rugged, lightweight unit, reliable!! (never had single problem with two differnt units purchased.
3. Not locked into a built-in proprietary battery that could go bad.
4. Expandable like crazy. Now using 4GB SD card and I can have multiple cards that hold more music preloaded if I want. It takes just about 30 seconds to swap SD cards.

Only downside is small display.

Creative Muvo Sport C100.......2006-05-14

Hey I've had this mp3 player for about a year and it works great. The Creative Muvo is super tough and work great if your out running or whatever. Even though it's water resistant they don't suggest dropping it in the water, but i've dropped it in a river once and it works just fine. This player is great if you have a small music collection but if you have a bunch of songs don't get it (even though you can put a lot of songs on it it doesn't have a scroll option) If your buying for the radio option don't buy it because i've found that the radio doesn't work very well and also the volume doesn't go very high.

2G SD card works.......2006-03-06

When I bought this unit, the label said it accepts 512M card. Then I saw some customers' comments that it accepts 1G card. I just bought a 2G SD card (...) and put it in--it works like a charm. So now I have a total memory of 2.25G, good for 40 hours of music!

How many times you see things work better than they are supposed to?!

Very Good with a Major Problem for Me.......2006-01-25

I purchased this MP3/FM player to use while I run outside. What I wanted was a player that had MP3, FM and a stopwatch and was weather proof. I don't like to wear a watch on my wrist while I run. I tried a Phillips player first, but the display was unreadable in sunlight and the battery only lasted 2 1/2 hours. It had a great feature though, push a button and the time on the stopwatch was announced.

After reading the reviews here and elsewhere, it looked like the C100 was going to be just right for me. And I have to agree with just about everything I've read. Good build quality, no problems with the SD cards I've used, sound quality is good, FM reception is good and no need to load the software.
The head phones are OK. Not real comfortable for me but good sound.

However there is one thing that is a Major Problem; at least for me. You can't control the MP3 player or the change the FM station while the stopwatch is running. Can't be done. If you are exercising and you come to a song you don't want to listen to, you have to stop the stopwatch, go to the menu and select Music or FM (whatever you are listening to) and then make the change. Then you go back to menu and select Stopwatch and restart the time. Not an easy thing to do with the player strapped to you arm. And now your time is off. I checked with Creative and they have no plans for a fix.

Now I know this isn't a problem for a lot of people (since no one mentioned it in any of the reviews I read) but for me it's enough to rate this otherwise five star player four stars.
