Product Description

Forget everything you know about digital cameras. Nikon COOLPIX SQ is here to blow you away. Nikon threw out the rules and built a digital camera that makes a bold statement about a new revolution in digital photography. An enigmatic statement of style, grace and power, the COOLPIX SQ is a deceiving paradox of minimalist design and maximized performance. Its elegant, captivating exterior houses technology usually reserved for the most discerning photographer, harnessing power that will transform your digital experience into something unique. Yet the COOLPIX SQ's innovations are disarmingly familiar. Pick it up, and its advanced performance and functions literally unfold in your hands. It is simply unlike any other digital camera ever made. The Nikon COOLPIX SQ - a unique chance to defy convention.

Amazon.com Product Description

The Nikon Coolpix SQ demonstrates that compact design is both cutting edge and functional. Capture stunning images with its 3.1-megapixel sensor and 3x optical zoom Nikkor lens. The uniquely square Coolpix SQ also has a twisting lens and flash, which can be orientated 90 degrees to the front in normal shooting situations. It also features a quick start-up time and fast autofocus so you won't miss a great shooting opportunity.

Optics and Resolution
The Coolpix SQ's 1/2.7-inch high-density CCD employs 3.1 effective megapixels to produce 2,016 x 1,512-pixel images and 11 by 17-inch enlargements. Its 3x optical zoom Nikkor lens--featuring a 5.6-16.8mm focal range (equivalent to 37-111mm in 35mm photography)--and Nikon's advanced image-processing algorithm ensure exceptional color and sharpness. The camera also features a 4x digital zoom.

Storage and Transfer
Images are stored on CompactFlash memory cards (Type I), and a 16 MB card is included. Images can be downloaded to either a Mac or PC via USB storage-class connectivity, which means it can be connected to any USB-based Windows 98/Me/2000/XP and Mac OS 8.6 or later computer without installing any software.

Movie Mode
In addition to taking still photos, the Coolpix SQ is capable of recording up to 40 seconds of video (with sound) at 15 frames per second, with 320 x 240 recorded pixels.

More Features
The Coolpix SQ comes with the Cool-Station cradle (MV-10). The battery recharges while the camera is in the cradle. Uploading images to a computer (via USB cable) requires a single press of the cradle's transfer button.

1.5-inch TFT (transreflective) LCD monitor for better outdoor performance.
Built-in flash with auto, fill flash, flash cancel, and red-eye reduction modes.
15 scene modes, including portrait, night portrait, party/indoor, and more
5-mode manual white balance with fine tuning, preset and white balance bracketing.
Automatic noise reduction function for superior images at slow shutter speeds.
5-area multi-autofocus for easier photo composition.
Macro shooting capability as close as 1.6 inches.

Imaging Software
Nikon's NikonView 6 imaging software offers a number of powerful features. Add date and time imprinting (or just a date) to the front of your picture as a reminder when the image was taken. Select one or more images you want to share and use the simplified e-mail function within NikonView 6 to size it for a small, medium or large screen. A copy of the image is resized (the original is maintained), then is attached to a new e-mail message in your default e-mail program. NikonView 6 also has a new feature that automatically removes most typical occurrences of red-eye with the touch of a button.

Power, Size, and Contents
The camera is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery EN-EL2 (included). It measures 3.3 x 3.3 x 1.0 inches and weighs 7.6 ounces with battery. This package includes the Coolpix SQ digital camera, 16 MB CompactFlash card, Cool-Station cradle (MV-10), USB and A/V cables, AC adapter, hand strap, and Nikon View CD-ROM and USB drivers for Windows and Mac.

It broke down in 10 months.......2005-10-13

I bought this camera in the US when I was travelling with my family. I am Peruvian. It worked fine. I really liked it and learned to used it for family pictures. However, I didn't use it for about two months and when I tried to use it again, it only took one picture and then didn't work. This happened 1 week and 12 months after I bought it so the 1 year warranty didn't apply. Also the warranty was good only in the US so I couldn't use it in Peru. If I had used the camera 2 months before it would have broke down within the term of the warranty. The NIKON Peruvian office told me it will cost $300 to repair the "shutting system" (something like that) and it would take around 2 months to have that part in Peru. Christmas and a family vacation were in one month so I had to buy a new camera. I sent several emails to NIKON US asking for help or a decrease in the price of the repair needed but they didn't even answered anything so far. This happened exactly one year ago.
So, my experience with this camera was very bad.

Oldie But Goodie.......2005-02-18

We bought a very early model SQ (I've since read that the cheaper Nikons are built in a different location). My wife carried this camera to Paris and Alaska and parts in between. It takes nicer 3MP photos than my 4MP Pentax. It locks the exposure in panoramas -- my Pentax does not. Just this week our friend broke the door covering the battery but my wife won't let me get her a newer camera so we'll stick with it. Looks like the build on newer, cheaper, Nikons is not up to the old build quality. ;-(

Go with some other Nikon Coolpix camera, not this one........2005-01-04

Great size, OK images, awful durability.

We've had to return the camera to Nikon for repair once and now it needs to go back. The door that secures the battery in place and hides the compact flash card is flimsy. It broke once and completely fell off this time.

I love the Coolpix line and am on my 3rd Nikon Coolpix camera. I just wish this wasn't one of them...

Hip and Trendy Camera!.......2004-11-03

I purchased an SQ not too long ago and I have to say that its a pretty good camera! The styling will instantly shock people! I have had people crowd around me and swoon over the design of this camera as it defies conventional design. The camera comes with a started 16mb Compact Flash card, Charger, Easy download pictures to computer cradle, lens cap, battery, USB cable, and good software (as you can see Nikon did not cheap out on anything.)

The camera takes gorgeous pictures during the daytime and I did not miss the lack of a view finder on this camera as Nikon has provided an amazing LCD that you can see even when the sun is reflecting on it! The problem is pictures at night as due to the flash being so close to the lens the red-eye, dust reflection, and noise is kind of bad.

I have loaded the latest firmware that Nikon has put out and it takes care of a couple of issues and the pictures have seemed to clean up a bit. So far the camera has been good. It takes amazing macro pictures and daytime pictures but if you're okay with some red eye and a little noise in poorly lit areas then try the firmware download or get a "nighttime" camera like I did..

Nikon should take back this camera.......2004-06-02

This is the worst camera I ever used. Nikon should take back all these camera's and provide other Nikon camera's in place. They are able to create cool camera's so why did they create such a useless camera. This camera only makes fun when using it in place of using your mobile phone to take pictures.

Amazon.com Product Description

Enjoy the latest 5.1-channel encoded DVD soundtracks with the Dual LHT1000B home theater speaker system, which includes all the speakers you need to create a complete surround setup. Comprising four satellite speakers, a dedicated center channel speaker for dialogue, and a subwoofer to round out the bass profile, the system is an affordable option for movie fans who want to enjoy the splendor of full surround sound without spending thousands of dollars. Each satellite speaker includes a 2.5-inch midrange driver and a 0.5-inch piezoelectric tweeter to clarify the mids and highs. The center speaker, meanwhile, offers dual 3-inch midrange drivers in addition to its 0.5-inch tweeter, ensuring that dialogue--the most important element in a movie soundtrack--always sounds crisp, warm, and intelligible.

Completing the system is the 50-watt powered subwoofer, which boasts a 6-inch long-throw, down-firing woofer to enhance the bass response. The subwoofer also offers a forward-firing port-tuned enclosure that adds to the low-frequency efficiency. The overall frequency response isn't as wide as those of more expensive systems, but it still offers a nice range of 50 Hz to 20 kHz. Additional features unique to the subwoofer include two RCA low-level inputs for older systems and a variable gain control.

The entire system wears a black finish that matches similarly hued components and equipment. Listeners will also appreciate the center speaker's magnetic shielding, which protects the TV from video interference when the speaker is located nearby. The center speaker even comes with a stand to hold it durably in place, while the satellites are wall-mountable using the small keyhole inserts on the back.

What's in the Box
Four satellite speakers, center channel speaker, subwoofer, center speaker stand, user's manual.

Pleasantly Surprised.......2006-06-08

Not wanting to be without surround where ever I went, I wanted to get a system for my mother's house. Small size was very important so my options were limmited. I saw this system for $40 and thought it would be worth a try.

I was rather surprised by the bulk and solid construction of the satelites. I was expecting a plasticy glued together feel, but was quite pleased just upon opening the box. The satelites are about the size of the small version Bose satelite speakers, so the size was right. The sub was shockingly small being a little bigger than a shoebox (it looked bigger to me in the picture).

Testing them out in my established spots for my current setup, I tried music (I Ching Symphony) followed by a movie (Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers). With the music, the sound was surprisingly spacious; however perhaps a bit airy and bright. The high ranged music flowed nicely considering the price of the setup.

The DVD was another stoy. In the DTS cut of LoTR, the sub all but begged for mercy. In the opening scene with Gandolf and the Balrog, the sub reminded me somewhat of the sounds you hear from an overzealous 16 year old kid's car. In short, farty and shaky.

After some consideration, I decided to check the receiver settings. I noticed that the crossover was set to 100 hz. With the satelites bottoming at 120 hz, this is a problem. After bumping it up to 150 hz, I decided to try Star Wars Episode 1. The difference was huge. The roaring of the engines in the pod racer scene was rather exceptional. Noticing that this was a Dolby Digital edit, I decided to go back and try some DTS. Going back and forth between sound edits on several discs, I came to the conclusion that this system doesn't get along with DTS. The encoding of the LFE (subwoofer channel) in DTS is just too low for the sub in this system. Dolby Digital had little or no trouble.

Overall, this is a hefty bang for the buck. The satelites/center are worth the price of admission. The sub is perhaps the weak link but it does the job. Considering the satelites connect directly to the receiver and all the money left over, a burlier sub could easily be substituted to create very respectable setup. The system as is would be worth at least 3 times as much as what Amazon offers it for. Considering the price, 5 stars is definitely not a stretch.

Tested with:
Pioneer VSX-D411 Receiver
Pioneer DV-578A DVD player
Room Size: Approximately 10'X 14'

Good system for the money.......2006-02-01

Easy setup, good sound. Well worth the price. The subwoofer is not the most powerful but does the job.

Amazon.com Product Description

There was a time not so very long ago that a desktop computer in this price range was incapable of anything other than absolute basic tasks. But with the new Presario SR1010NX Desktop PC, Compaq proves those days are over. Though it won't suit a demanding business environment or dedicated gaming studio, the Presario SR1010NX will fit right in to most home, home office or school dorm environments.

Driven by a cost-efficient Intel Celeron processor running at 2.7 GHz, a minimal alloent of 256 MB main memory and an integrated Intel Extreme Graphics video controller with 64 MB shared (not dedicated) video memory, the Presario SR1010NX is definitely not a world-class speed machine or a 3-D powerhouse. However, for basic computer duties such as word processing, spreadsheets, electronic communication and homework, it is more than adequate. Those who frequently multitask will need to double the system's memory, and anyone who stores large libraries of files will want to upgrade the enclosed hard disk, which at just 40 GB is certainly smallish.

Compaq has installed a 3.5-inch diskette drive for small backups and older applications and a CD-RW optical drive through which you can load applications, play audio CDs and backup important data. In its stock configuration, the system does not support DVD playing or writing. Nor does it include an IEEE 1394 FireWire" port (normally used for fast data transfer from digital camcorders), though it does feature a half dozen high-speed USB 2.0 ports for plug and play peripherals and gadgets such as USB-capable digital cameras and printers.

Other desirable amenities include an integrated 10/100Base-T networking interface for fast Internet and network communication, a low-speed dial-up 56K modem, a Compaq keyboard and scrolling Compaq mouse, and two free PCI slots for adding devices such as high-powered video and audio cards and additional connections. A display screen is not enclosed, thus allowing you to utilize your current monitor or select from the many alternatives currently available.
