Amazon.com Product Description

Minolta's Freedom Action Zoom 90 date camera is a perfect companion for vacations, day trips, family outings, or anywhere the action is. It is compact and lightweight, so it's easy to carry in your pocket, purse, or backpack. The versatile 2.4x zoom lens allows for a wide range of photographic subjects, including landscapes, groups, snapshots, candids, and portraits. A zoom lever makes it easy to adjust the zoom position while composing in the viewfinder.

A 200-step infrared autofocus system keeps the main subject sharp under a wide variety of shooting conditions. To compose a clear, focused shot, just frame your picture, press the shutter-release button partway down to lock the focus, and take the picture. The focus-hold option allows you to stay focused on a subject while recomposing your picture.

The Freedom Action Zoom 90 shoots in a variety of lighting situations with several flash modes. In auto mode, you can concentrate on your subject while the camera fires the flash when needed. If the main subject is backlit, fill flash may be selected to enhance lighting. A flash-cancel button is provided for museum shots when a flash is not permitted.

Night portrait mode synchronizes the flash with a slow shutter so you'll have enough light to capture shots in the evening with ambient light. You can also set the autofocus system to infinity to ensure sharp photos of distant subjects in a landscape. The built-in quartz data back imprints the date or time on each photo and can be switched off when desired.

Very good camera. Unlike Olimpus, takes pictures fast, opens, closes quickly. Quality of pictures high and consistent. lacks modern metallic design, but it's reflected in the price.

How many pictures will it store?.......2004-11-06

How many pictures will it store? It is the most commonly asked question from digital camera enthusiast but usually the question that is the most difficult to get a straight answer about. Well, considering I worked in the memory industry for over 7 years I can help clarify this perplexing question and do so unbiased as I have since changed industries.

The Fujifilm 128MB CompactFlash Card, like most 128MB cards, will store on average 142 pictures when used with a 2 megapixel camera, 106 images when used with a 3 megapixel camera, 64 pictures when used with a 4 megapixel camera, 51 images when used with a 5 megapixel camera, and 40 pictures when used with a 6 megapixel camera. These numbers are based off the assumption that you are going to shoot your images at the highest quality JPEG setting available for the camera and understand that they are estimates and may be off by as much as 10 percent due to numerous factors including the complexity of the scene being shot and the compression algorithm used by your specific camera.

I truly hope this review was helpful to you in determining whether this card is the right capacity for your specific needs.

Impressed.......2003-07-21

I was impressed with this multi-format DVD drive which when I bought it, had "generic" pricing. It handled older and generic -R 1.0x disks and new generation name-brand +R 4.0x disks equally well.

It ran with my existing software and did not require a special manufacturer's patch, unlike my previous drives. It should run well with any recently published DVD burner title on the market.

Good and Bad.......2003-12-01

I just got this drive two days ago. The price was too good to pass up. I have a fair amount of experience with CD Recorders but this is my first DVD Recorder. Installation is standard for any CD/DVD drive. That went well. Unfortunately I ran into problems after that.

The installation guide tells you to install the drive, install Roxio Easy CD 5 (included), and then throw on Cyberlink PowerDVD XP 4 (included) for viewing DVDs. The first two steps went well, but when I tried to install PowerDVD it prompted for a serial number. There was no serial number on the CD, in the guidebook, or on the CD envelope. A quick trip to seedier parts of the Internet provided one. I threw in a couple of DVDs and they played beautifully. One problem solved.

Next I tried to burn a data DVD using Easy CD. The program burned CDs on this drive, but did not recognize that my new drive was capable of burning DVDs. I thought that I had a problem with a driver because the driver associated with the drive was a generic ATAPI driver. I went to Buslink's web site to look for drivers. Forget it. Their website looks like a 4 year old threw it together. They have no information on this drive other than where to buy it. I scoured the web for reviews or support sites for this drive to no avail. After looking through a Google Groups search I managed to find out that there are no special drivers for this drive. I also found out that Roxio Easy CD is crap. Long story short: I uninstalled Easy CD and installed Nero 6 and I was able to burn a data DVD.

I haven't burnt anything else yet (1 data DVD+RW and a couple of CDRs). I will try some video later and see if DVD+Rs work well. The garbage software included and the lack of any type of support on the Buslink web site were a pain, but I gave the drive 4 stars simply because of the low price plus rebate.

Integrated wireless LAN (select models) maximizes mobility in a business setting.

Amazon.com Product Description

Keep up with the fast-paced demands of today's business environment with the HP Compaq TC1100 Tablet PC, featuring an award-winning flexible design and ultra-light portability. This next-generation, full-featured Tablet PC offers a removable mobile keyboard that hides discretely when writing or sketching in digital ink on the 10.4-inch TFT hard tempered glass LCD screen. The screen can be oriented as portrait or landscape to accommodate your work style, and the ink-to-text utility works with any Windows application. The keyboard can also quickly swing into place when typing is required. You'll also be able to keep working for extended periods, with up to 4.5 hours of battery power.

This TC1100 features a battery-sipping 1.2 GHz Intel Pentium M 753 Ultra Low Voltage processor, 60 GB hard drive, 512 MB of installed RAM (2 GB max), 54g wi-fi connectivity (802.11b/g), Bluetooth wireless connectivity, Secure Digital memory card slot, and Windows XP Tablet PC Edition operating system.

The Basics

Hard Drive: The 60 GB hard drive (5400 RPM) is a bit smaller than average for current notebooks, but it's in line with comparable Tablet PCs. It provides enough capacity for storing documents, digital media files, and productivity software.
Processor: The Intel Pentium M Processor Ultra Low Voltage 753 (1.20 GHz, 2MB L2 cache, 400 MHz FSB) delivers outstanding mobile performance and low-power enhancements for sleeker, lighter notebook designs. The 1.2 GHz clock speed can be misleading--for most tasks, this processor will be faster than a 1.6 GHz Pentium 4-M. This older processor sits at the bottom of the current spectrum for this processor class (as of March 2006).
Memory: The 512 MB of installed RAM (333 MHz) is enough to get you started, but you'll want to add more RAM to handle today's demanding multimedia and productivity suites. It has a 2 GB maximum RAM capacity.
CD/DVD Drive: This Table PC does not come with an optical drive, but HP offers options of external DVD/CD reading and burning drives.
Keyboard & Mouse: The 101-key compatible keyboard is 95% full-sized and it features isolated, inverted-T cursor control keys and right-control key. It also comes with a battery-free digital pen for writing on the Tablet PC's screen.

Screen, Graphics and Sound
The 10.4-inch color TFT XGA display has a 1024 x 768 resolution (with up to 16.7 million colors) and it will support an external display up to a 1600 x 1200 resolution. Video is powered by the Nvidia GeForce4 Go 420 graphics card with 32 MB of shared video memory. It features Nvidia's nfiniteFX II engine's programmable vertex and pixel shaders for advanced desktop graphics. The PowerMizer technology adjusts power resources for the CPU, LCD to effectively control system power consumption while maintaining great 3D graphics performance.

Connectivity and Expansion Slots
The TC1100 has an integrated 54g wireless LAN that's fully compatible with 802.11b/g wireless networks. With the Bluetooth wireless connectivity, you can synchronize and transfer files between the PC and peripherals such as cell phones and PDAs. You get a basic offering of connectivity options:

2 USB 2.0 ports for connecting a wide range of peripherals--from digital cameras to MP3 players
1 Secure Digital memory card slot (not compatible with SDIO)
1 PCMCIA (or PC Card) slot (Type II)
1 fast infrared
1 headphone output
1 microphone input

This Tablet PC also has an integrated 56K modem (V.90) and an RJ-45 LAN network port (for a 10/100 Fast Ethernet connection to networks and DSL/cable modems).

Preloaded System and Software
This system comes with the Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 operating system with Service Pack 2 featuring Advanced Security Technologies, which helps to reduce unwanted downloads and pop-ups while surfing the Web.

Dimensions and Weight
Living up to its promise of easy portability, this Tablet PC measures 8.5 x 10.8 x 0.8 inches (WxDxH) and weighs just 3.1 pounds (or 4 pounds with the removable keyboard).

Power
It's powered by a 6-cell rechargeable lithium-ion battery (3600 mAh), which has a battery life of up to 4.5 hours (depending on usage).

What's in the Box
This package includes the HP Compaq TC1100 Tablet PC (PX284AA#ABA) with removable keyboard, tablet digital pen, rechargeable lithium-ion battery, AC adapter, and operating instructions. It's backed by a three-year limited hardware warranty (with one-year warranties for the battery and digital pen).

Extremely superb eyepiece.........2007-01-20

As an amateur astronomer, you make certain eyepiece decisions as the years pass, and hopefully end up with as fine a set of eyepieces as possible. All this unfortunately, before you actually have a real grasp regarding each eyepiece type. But with the Celestron Ultima eyepiece series, I am at this point utterly proud in the realization that I do own three of these magnificent gems, the 12.5 mm being the last one acquired.

I obtained the 12.5 mm one after some painstaking searching for it's availability during the 2006 Christmas holiday season. I use it primarily in my piggyback Onyx refractor for observing. I literally was unprepared for the sharpness of the star fields that I was seeing in the Onyx ED. Tiny pinpoint stars, clean binary star separations, magnificent Messier object observations, etc.

I think there is a bit of anxiety among amateur astronomers about the Ultima series in the fact that most models in the series have been discontinued. If you want to get a real feel for the desirability of these eyepieces, just check out a site like AstroMart, and see how many people are trying to unload these babies! All you will see for this series is the word 'Wanted', not the usual 'For Sale' message.

These are the greatest eyepieces that I can imagine having, other than of course a more expensive eyepiece like a Pentax, of which I own two.
The coatings, the build quality, the optical quality, and, oh yes, the realization that a 52 degree AFOV is more than adequate!

The only consolation for me concerning the discontinuation of this series was finding out that Antares Ultimas are essentially the same series, and are still available. I will be getting the 25mm, 20mm, and 15mm Antares Ultimas very soon, and oh yes, they will be parfocal with my Celestron Ultimas.

I just hope that Celestron brings this beautiful eyepiece series back some day. If that happens, there may just be fewer of us amateur astronomers groping with eyepiece anxiety in the dark under the stars!

MAGNIFICENT EYEPIECE !!!!
