Amazon.com Product Description

The Kyocera S4 packs a load of features into a digital camera that slips comfortably into your shirt pocket--it's barely over 3 inches wide and weighs less than 6 ounces. The 4.3-megapixel sensor captures sharp and vibrant images with a resolution of up to 2,272 by 1,704 pixels, which means you can create prints up to 11 by 14 inches in size without compromising quality. The lens has a 3x optical zoom sufficient for most purposes, and the 2x digital zoom yields a total zoom of 6x and opens up more photographic possibilities.

Functions such as flash, exposure, focus, and white balance are fully automatic, but you can easily switch to manual for greater control. The Kyocera also captures full-motion movies in AVI format at a resolution of 320 by 240 pixels. The included 16 MB Secure Digital memory card can hold 64 photos and about two 15-second movies. You can keep track of all your camera and memory settings using the large 1.5-inch LCD monitor. Quickly and easily transfer all of your work into any computer with a USB connection.

Outstanding Design - Great Value - Just know the limitations.......2003-03-31

I got the Kyocera S4 back in January 2003. Great "unkown" digital camera. For anyone who is doubtful of the quality, you should know that Kyocera makes digital cameras for Toshiba, and they are the parent company of Yashica and Contax, two of the most respected names in photography.

The design of this camera is simply beautiful. Gorgeous gun-metal aluminum body, solid zoom lens with built-in cap, simple button and menu layout, and overall, a very durable camera.

As this was my first ditial camera, I quickly learned the limitations of the unit. Some of the limitations can be corrected through simple upgrades, namely, the 16MB SD card included with the unit is not adequate for most users. You should get a 64MB or 128MB card so you can save more than 80 shots at a time. In fact, with a 128MB SD card, you can shoot over 170 photos at high resolution. It might be all the storage you're going to need with a simple camera like this. Also, I recommend getting the deluxe leather case with belt-clip (available from Kyocera or other camera shops), as the pouch included with this camera will not provide enough protection - even for such a durable device.

This camera competes with the Canon Elph and other "credit card" sized cameras (the front of this camera is precisely the size of a credit or ATM card). And it competes with them very well. The resolution is incredible, and the optical zoom is rock-solid. However, using the digital zoom does result in a loss of resolution (which may not be known to first-time digital users). And this camera has useful manual exposure and CCD sensitivity seetings, but no true ISO or "traditional" shutter speed adjustment. Also, this camera does not perform well in low-light or in taking shots of fast-moving objects. As much as I have experimented with its settings, it is obvious that this camera cannot do what the high-end digital cameras can do in twilight settings outdoor and dim settings indoor. Even shots of hockey players on a brightly lit ice surface required precise manual adjustment (and a lot of patience). This is a camera for daytime landscapes and close-ups of people and objects. It cannot compete with digital SLR's or rangefinders costing twice as much (or more). But having said that, I believe it is better than the Cannon Elph, and most other digital cameras of the same size.

Battery life is not spectacular. If you use the flash for most shots, expect to re-charge the unit every 20-30 shots or so. I even got a spare battery, just to be sure I was never caught without a charge for the flash.

The Kyocera S4 fills an interesting gap between the anonymous entry-level devices and the high-end units. It's best feature might be that it packs 4 megapixels of resoultion into a form factor the size of a deck of playing cards. That alone is a huge advantage. Even worn on a belt, it is no more obtrusive than a cell phone. If you need a camera that can fit in your bag and always be available without getting in the way, or if you need a camera for building a web site, selling items online, or just getting into digital photography, this is the only camera you'll need.

Now that I am happy with the Kyocera S4, I am ready to take ditial photography to the next level, and I think that will be the Leica 1 Digital. It has many of the same features as the Kyocera S4, except that it has a larger LCD, a bigger lens (to let in more light), an ISO dial, and longer battery life. But I expect to get thousands of quality shots with the Kyocera S4 regardless. It is not just another point & shoot camera. It is a great value.

Small, light & complete.......2002-10-09

The Kyocera Finecam S4 is a truly remarkable little point-and- shoot. I am a serious photographer, owner of high-end Canon film cameras and "L" lenses (not used since buying the Kyocera S4).

It is a point and shoot, rather than a professional camera, but the resolution is incredible, even at the lowest (normal) setting.

I have had no problems with battery life, although that is a common complaint (I use the onboard flash and LCD screen nearly all the time). It is packed with features (i.e. exposure compensation, manual override on just about everything, self-timer, red-eye reduction, etc.)

The color has been just phenomenal. I have had it for about three months and am extremely satisfied and am thinking about buying the S5 when it appears. I recommend getting at least a 64-meg. card, rather than the skimpy 16-meg card provided.

The LCD screen is hard to see during bright sun, but you have the option of using the viewfinder. In low light, there is a delay while device meters and focuses, but this is true of all cameras. It could mean missing the shot--but you don't have to wait for your film to come back to know you missed it. I am addicted to the instant feedback. It has made me a better photographer.

The video function is low-end, but basic. No audio, but if you want a video camera, buy one, rather than compromise a good digital still camera like this one. It is tiny and fits on a belt not unlike a beeper. I am never without my little companion and feel naked when it is not on my belt. For the convenience, the size and the features it is packed with, you can not do better in my opinion.

really compact, good stills, but no audio!.......2002-07-15

This Kyocera S4 is a really compact little camera, with the great 4 MB resolution. The controls are pretty easy to use, but of course sometimes a little tough due to the small size. But in a high quality dig cam like this, i really wanted the ability to take good little video clips. The video clips on this cam 1) have NO AUDIO and 2) are very low resolution. For my money, I think I'll consider the Sony P9, Minolta F100, or Olympus D40. If all you need is stills, this is a great little cam.

Waiting for my phones, have 2 observations: A. Amazon.com was BY FAR the least expensive, easiest to work with on the net, other's prices don't come near. B. After sweating this decision, and researching for a week, I discovered on the brother home site, that more than 2 wirless units need an extra "black box" to work 3 or more phones/lines at the same time. I spent the extra $130, just wish I'd known when I made the first order.

So Far So Good.......2001-04-26

I'm not sure what was wrong with the other reviewer's phones, but my first test of this system at home went quite well. I walked out of my house and to the side walk and still got good reception.

Poor sound and range outweigh the useful features........2000-11-12

The features looked to be a great match but the audio quality was a complete letdown. There was a constant hiss transmitted to the other party unless I held the mute button. The phone would drop the connections or fail to answer when I walked more than two rooms away.

I worked with the Brother help-line but none of their suggestions were successful.

I returned the unit and bought a Uniden 2-line DSS.

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, 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.

Great Features but short Life.......2005-12-07

The features on this bargain DVD player are excellent. The player has a great function display on it's face and good on screen prompts. The problem is it suddenly quit loading DVDs after less than sixteen months and is now junk. So if you want a good DVD player that will last you just long enough to be beyond the one-year parts warrantee, this is the unit for you.

The search for a decent DVD player goes on..........2005-11-21

This DVD player looks fantastic on paper. But, like all the other cheapo players out there, in practice it's a complete letdown. We bought two and we're on the second one within 3 months as the first has started to die and keeps juttering and crashing on different discs.

Pros:
- Good picture quality for a cheapo DVD player
- DTS, progessive scan, and component out
- Good PAL -> NTSC Conversion including anamorphic widescreen
- Easy to make region-free

Cons:
- The transport mechanism seems to be as poorly made as it could possibly be done. It is the transport that is causing the first player to fail.
- If you leave it on pause for more than 20-30 minutes or so, the DVD player shuts down and loses your place on the DVD you were watching.
- No memory function for auto-replay of different discs when you've taken them out of the player.
- The tray is so flimsy, it almost bends 45 degrees when you put a disc in.
- Ours started to die within 60 days.

Good Luck on yours if you buy one. At ~$40 it's probably worth a shot.

excellent value.......2005-11-09

This DVD player was cheap... in fact the store where I bought my computer (not cheap) actually threw it in as a bonus. I was quite amazed to find out that it has a great 10-bit video DAC, and a 24-bit/96Khz audio DAC. AND a digital audio receiver chip which can decode HDCD! This is a relatively high-end feature, as is the digital optical TOSLINK output. Picture quality is excellent. Audio is beyond what one would expect for an el-cheapo-deluxe player, in fact is on part with much more expensive units. I guess quality of output FAR FAR outstrips "soft buttons on the remote" as a selling feature for me (as one other reviewer whined). It can also play CD's, MP-3 discs (CD-R AND CD-RW) and PhotoCD format discs! What more could you ask for $50?

Piece of junk.......2005-10-13

Ok, it's not *that* bad, but it is. Good picture. there. But my goodness, hard buttons, instead of the soft push ones. lame. no fast foward / rewind on the actual player, only skip. um, resume, hello?! if you don't push play right away after stop, you must start from the beginning, lame much? my oritron had better features than this piece of....

I was even going to return it but i figured, oh, i'll just keep it and deal. i regret that, i hate this dvd player.

Daewoo DVG-9200N---non-functioning, without directions.......2005-10-12

Had I wanted to throw away money without getting functional DVD player with complete directions IN ENGLISH I'd simply have made out a check to some charity. No warranty included, so as far as I am concerned I spent money for nothing.

Not so plug and play........2003-01-04

The first machine I pluged this into it work well. It came up as a card reader, but hey I was able to put some files on it. I have not gotten it to work on any of the 6 computers I have tried it on since. Old, new, win 98 (which you have to install the drivers for it), WINme, WinXP, it didn't matter, it never worked. I have Made sure that the USB ports were Enabled, and the whole nine yards. Now I'm trying to get technical support and the only page of the manufactures web site that is down(and has been for 3 days now) is the support section. It has been miserable, and I was so looking forward to it.

Very easy to use. Drag and drop files between computers. Would love more space but good balance between price and size. Just enough to manage key files. Great for getting to a printer from a laptop that is off of the network for example.
