Some good, some bad..........2003-10-08

The Good: We've had our 201 for two years now, and have been happy with the video performance and features. The still cam is weak, but with the specs on it, it's more of a convenience than something one would want to depend on. Perfectly appropriate for the price at the time we bought it. The bad: The hand strap attach point broke off, and the GE extended warranty won't cover what they consider a non-functional part. There are 4 strap attach points, 3 metal, one plastic, and that's the one that let go. Without the hand strap, you'd have to hold the camera with both hands to use it. The case is very thin, and no other physical attachment exists internally. I also found a report of someone buying 8 PV51 cameras (similar to this one), and three of them broke in the exact same place as mine. Still waiting to hear from Panasonic, but I'm betting since it's out of warranty I'm out of luck. And I'm going to cancel my worthless GE warranty policy as well.

Great camcorder @ great price........2003-05-23

Update to previous reviews. The driver for win2000 or winXP is available NOW on panasonic website. With Firewire, WinXP actually detected it and it's plug and play.

I have used this camera for more than 2 years. I LOVE it.

1. There's no gap between clips. Canon ZR shows blue screen on playback every time you hit the pause button when recording - REALLY annoying. This one just stitch the clips together nicely.
2. Transfer to computer with firewire or USB really simple, easy to use. TIPS: you can get firewire card with cable for less than $20 now.
3. Handling is excellent - nice grip, light weight.
4. Long battery life. I was planning to buy a spare and found out no need for it.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

OK yea i said o.k........2002-03-06

when i took it out the box....IT FELT CHEAP
The battery life needs more power. Panasonic has yet to come out with a driver for XP. The still images are compared to a PHD camera (push here dummy). This is a low end model. As far as video goes....i love it. I have had nothing but fun and thrills. If you can get it for...cheaper than list.... it really is a good deal. I would suggest holding out though

far from thrilled.......2002-01-19

This camera is way less then i expect.
colors are dull, and recording feature sounds
like a tin can. it may not be the most expensive
camera out there but i expected more for the cost.

Great Camera for a Low End Model.......2001-12-22

I've used the camera for about three months. It is everything I expected. I wanted a lightweight, small, easy to use camera with the ability to take still photos. The video picture quality is very good. The stills are pretty good considering this is a low end model.
I use Windows ME and the software provided is very, very good and easy to use. It would have been nice to be able to plug in a better mike but you can't. Also I'm left-handed and like most cameras for us, the buttons are a little hard to use.

Overall I don't think you will go wrong buying this camera. If you have Windows XP I would contact Panansonic to see if there are upgrades for the software.

Product Description

The Compaq Evo Thin Client T20 is a Windows-based terminal popularly referred to as a "thin client". A Windows-based terminal or thin client is a client device that connects over a network to a Windows NT Server running Windows 2000 or NT Terminal Server Edition or either of those operating systems with Citrix MetaFrame software running atop the server OS. This combination of client and server running a thin client solution is referred to as Thin Client Server Computing. But the thin client is just a part of that overall solution.A thin client Windows-based terminal only processes keyboard input and screen output, leaving all application processing and storage to the server. Compaq thin client solutions can allow companies to dramatically lower the costs associated with their client/server infrastructure. Unlike a traditional PC with high-speed processors and data storage, these terminals are optimized to act solely as "windows" to the server where users' applications and data reside. Instead of applications running on individual PCs, all applications are run from a single server, greatly simplifying the administration and support needed to run an IT department. While some knowledge workers truly need the processing power of a PC (such as engineers, designers, or financial analysts), many workers perform task-oriented, transactional functions (such as travel agents and call center operators), in environments that would be ideal for the Compaq Evo Thin Client T20.

Great Burner and Software Package.......2001-11-06

This is a great cd burner. It has fast burns (8-12 minutes) and the software is great, it allows you to download new songs and put songs from cds into your music library. It also has a radio feature which is really nice. This is a great burner with great software at a great price.

Not Easy to Install on My Micron Millenium XKU.......2001-05-28

It took 45 minutes on the phone with a very helpful and very cooperative H-P technician to figure out why my by-the-book installation wasn't working. Finally got it working by connecting it in place of the Zip drive, which is now, obviously, not working. It works decently, software is OK but not great, but it uses a lot of disk space during transfers. Also, it is very choosy about whether it likes a blank CD or not. All in all, not as easy to install or use as I had hoped.

Bad Advertisement Details.......2001-01-14

I bought this burner about a month ago, mainly to use as a way to store photos, rather than storing them on my hard drive. The installation was problem free, the moving of files from my hard drive to the cd was flawless and fast. (so fast I thought it had screwed up, but it hadn't) Now I'm burning music cds, and I find that the claim of a six minute burn time to be wrong. It may take six minutes as a fluke or an abberation, but my experience with about twenty music cds is a burn time range of 16 - 28 minutes. (but never, ever six minutes) The shortest burn time I've experienced is 12:30 minutes. I've contacted HP product support, and they have given me some guidance, and it has helped a little. The last email help I received from HP was basically a message saying that I should just live with it. And I will, the thing works afterall. It accomplishes what I want it to do. I think the six minute claim should be removed from the Amazon write-up. A six minute claim should be representative of the normal/average burn time, not a statistical one-time occurrence. First time buyers could save a few bucks and buy a cheaper model. The $ vs performance ratio isn't justified here.

Good Writer - Poor Bundle.......2001-01-09

Out of the box, the install was flawless (However, I have done this before). The HP software (light version, with typical come-on) worked very well. The drive is fast! The Adaptec driver leaves much to be desired as it bombs with a Fatal Exception Error ("Blue Screen") when trying to write using DirectCD instead of the MyHP CD Creator. Using the Windows Media Player, File - Create CD" option, the Adaptec Direct CD program is started, and all goes well as it converts the files for recording. When it goes to write, Bill's favorite "Blue Screen" appears, the program is terminated, and the disk cannot be ejected or the drive used unitl the system is re-booted. (emphasis on the boo!) HP's response for tech. assistance was no help. Adaptech will not take any responsibility. Pretty typical OEM buck passing. Updating to latest drivers and software does not clear the problem either.

Difficult Installation Experience.......2001-01-01

I had a very different experience than many of the other reviewers. Installation was very difficult on a standard Windows 98 Gateway computer. The technical support line (free support) kept disconnecting me. I finally reached HP through their out-of-warranty #. Bottom line, even though I was replacing an existing CD-ROM (which should have been a 10 minute exercise as others have commented), I had to make numerous jumper changes, changes to the systems bios and had to reinstall other devices after the initial installation caused my machine to refuse to boot. I spent a total of 2 hours on the phone working directly with HP tech support (who were really trying to help) and at least another hour on hold when I was disconnected, trying to get back through. At one point, the Tech Support person acknowledged that this was "a new product and may still have some bugs in it." My recommendation -- proceed with caution and choose a product with a little longer history.

HP Ahead in race to bottom.......2007-01-16

This is by the worst HP product I've ever owned. I can wait until the cartidge run dry and I can scrap it. Noisy, slow, constantly jams. The process to replace ink has to be done all the time and involves a lot of hassle - alignment and scanning and so on. I've had it work right. Run from this one.

Great features and super quiet.......2005-05-28

Great because it prints in b/w or color. And has all extra features of copying faxing, reducing copies, etc. and is super quiet.

The only one on the market that is quiet which is good for a home or office environment.

Do NOT buy this machine!!!.......2005-04-13

We've had this multifunction fax in our office for about 6 months now, and I consider it a huge disappointment. At even the most basic level, it just doesn't do the job. Although it claims to handle 20 pages, it can't feed more than about 10 sheets without jamming. Even faxing only one page, I have misfeeds at least once a week. I expect to be able to put my fax in the machine, dial it, and walk away, but with this machine I have to babysit every page.

The fax includes software (HP Image Zone) that allows you to send faxes from your computer. Sounds great, but there are some drawbacks. First, the program is huge, over 400 MB, and most of it is extraneous junk. Second, if you send a fax from your computer and the line is busy, IT DOES NOT REDIAL!! Unbelievable, but it actually gives you a message that the line was busy and puts it in the log. If you want to redial, you have to open the log and resend it yourself.

Finally, the HP fax that we were using before was about five years old, and it had the capability of receiving faxes into the computer. This is a great function, and something that we really depended on. Why waste all of that paper on junk faxes, extraneous pages, or documents that could just be stored on the computer? Also, it made it possible to look up old faxes if the paper copy was lost. I assumed that a newer HP multifunction that advertised the ability to communicate with your PC would have the same ability to receive faxes, but I was wrong. Believe it or not, HP has abandoned this capability in all of their faxes! If you want to receive a fax into you PC, you have to buy a special modem separate from the one in the machine itself.

Please, do yourself a favor and buy a better machine. This one just isn't worth the money.

Great Little Machine For Home Office.......2004-12-19

At first I bought a big expensive HP machine up around $300. I had it only about 3 days and was very dissatisfied and took it back to the store. It was too big with too many functions and seemed quite akward to use. I did call HP tech support and they were helpful even though they were some place in India. I was choosing HP for my fax/printer because I had learned they did, in fact, have reachable and helpful tech support people.

I went back to the store hoping to find a simpler but quality machine. I chose the 4110 Multifunction at a little over $100. I found the 4110 to be a smaller and more modern looking unit. Learning how to use its functions was easier and took less time than on the larger HP units. The unit is ideal for a student or a small home business. The ink lasts longer than some competitor's units. The quality of the color print-outs is outstanding.

The biggest problem with the 4110 is that it stacks the pages in reverse order. One through Five comes out as Five through One.

Great little machine for the price!.......2004-10-28

I think for $150 this is a great little machine, I haven't had any problem with it and I have it about for 4 months. All the futures worked just fine for me but I use it at home in about an avarage level..so not too much. At the beginning I had problems with paper jam, but I figured out I shouldn't put the papers too much in the machine, just right on the tray where it can reach it and pull it inn.
Then it took me a while to be able to send and receive a fax; I thought I was doing something wrong which I did = had to adjust the answering machine for 5 rings and leave the fax machine on 6 rings (this is how it is originally when you set up the Fax Setup Wizzard). But it wasn't the machine's fault so I am really pleased with it and I would definiatelly recommend it for in a home-office or in a low-traffic office. I think this is the most this machine can handle. But for $150 not bad!
