Amazon.com Product Description

The amazingly small, ultra-slim, and lightweight Panasonic SVAV50 is ready to capture your favorite moments in digital video and still photos wherever you roam. You can also use the SVAV50 as a digital audio player, voice recorder, and image viewer through your TV (using the included cradle). The SVAV50 is so small because it uses no tape--all video, images, and audio are stored on a tiny Secure Digital (SD) memory card. It also features 2-megapixel digital still resolution, 2-inch flip-and-twist LCD for reviewing your video and photos, and 2.5x digital zoom. This model (SVAV50S) comes in silver, but the SVAV50 is also available in blue (SVAV50A).

Video and Still Optics
Using the MPEG4 format, the SVAV25 saves video to Secure Digital (SD) and MultiMedia (MMC) memory cards (an 8 MB SD card is included). With the small size of MPEG4 files--featuring resolution modes of either 320 x 240 or 176 x 144--you can easily post video to your Web site or send files to friends and family via e-mail.

The D-snap cradle is equipped with an A/V terminal that makes it easy to connect to a TV or VCR and record TV programs onto an SD card. Using the SVAV50 for playback, you can watch the news, a movie, or other programs just about anywhere.

The following shows the approximate amount of continuous video that can be recorded on several sizes of SD memory card (including larger optional cards):

Super Fine (320 x 240, 1 Mbps): 0.9 minutes (included 8 MB card), 7 minutes (64 MB card), 15 minutes (128 MB card)
Fine (320 x 240, 420 Kbps): 2 minutes (included 8 MB card), 17 minutes (64 MB card), 35 minutes (128 MB card)
Normal (176 x 144, 300 Kbps): 2.5 minutes (included 8 MB card), 25 minutes (64 MB card), 50 minutes (128 MB card)
Economy (176 x 144, 100 Kbps): 8 minutes (included 8 MB card), 70 minutes (64 MB card), 150 minutes (128 MB card)

The SVAV50 has a 1/3.2-inch CCD for a 2-megapixel resolution--capturing enough image data for print enlargements up to 8 x 10 inches. It features 1600 x 1200 (2 MP), 1280 x 960 (1 MP), and 640 x 480 (VGA--great for sending in e-mail) resolution modes. You can zoom in on subjects using the 2.5x digital zoom.

Audio
In addition to its motion and still image capability, the SVAV50 can also be used as a digital audio player--just slip in an SD card loaded with tunes and listen via the included earphones. It's compatible with MP3 and AAC audio files. And with the built-in microphone (monaural), you can easily record voice memos, lectures, interviews, and reminders to the SD card.

Don't buy this item.......2006-11-30

I regret buying this camera because I cannot view the videos I shot. If you buy a Sony digital camera it shoots video in MPEG4 format and that can be viewed by several programs such as Real Player, Windows Movie Maker, QuickTime, etc. This Panasonic camcorder claims to shoot MPEG, but it does not.

The video files are something called ASF and I cannot find a program to view the videos or to convert them to real MPEGS. Going to the Panasonic site is a complete waste of time because they expect you to have a serial number just to download the program to view the videos in their non standard format.

Save yourself the hassle, and get a Sony that shoots video in a standard format that is read by many programs.

Great Camera.......2006-11-06

This is my second one. First one lasted 3 1/2 years........I'd buy another one if this breaks!!!

Nice gadget - horrible software support........2006-10-12

The unit itself is well designed. The quality of video is fair, at least for such a compact unit. Photos are near worthless due to horrible quality. My cell phone has far superior images.

Sadly, for all the niceties of the gadget Panasonic chose to cripple the unit with it's software and make it virtually worthless.

a) the videos ARE NOT mpeg4 as advertised. Rather, they are encapsulated in an .asf DRM file which is unviewable by anyone.

b) the voice recorder is fairly useless. Sure it's a digital voice recorder. But nothing can play the digital files it records but the camera. You have no way of converting them or playing them on your PC.

Due to the software implementation this camera because mostly non-functional.

Today I have several videos that I cannot view. You need a special plug-in. That said, Panasonic doesn't let you download without a special code.

THIS IS NOT A MPEG4 CAMERA AS ADVERTISED

Great Multi-Tasking Product.......2005-11-20

The Panasonic D-snap, model SV-AV50, is a great product. The D-snap can be used for many different tasks. It is a digital camera, camcorder, mp3 player, and voice recorder. The D-snap is small and portable. The D-snap is so small that it can fit into your pocket easily. The Panasonic D-snap is easy to recharge the batteries.

The D-snap has a cradle included. Once the D-snap is connected to the cradle, many things can be done. The cradle connects the D-snap to the television set and the computer. There's an earphone and a remote controller included. The earphone is to listen to music when the D-snap is used as an mp3 player. The remote control is to help the person using the D-snap to easily press the record button or control the D-snap away from the camera.

The Panasonic D-snap is simple to use. All the data is stored on a SD memory card. After taking pictures, video record, or voice record, the pictures, video clips, or voice recordings can be displayed right after by switching a switch from record to play. Afterwards, the data can be transferred into the computer. The camera can be connected to the television set and the data can be transferred to the screen.

There are a few bad things about the Panasonic D-snap. First, the D-snap is so small, most of the times when the camera or camcorder feature is in use, the person's finger may get in the way and covers the lens of the camera. Second, when the video clips are transferred to the television screen, the clips are not as clear as it appeared on the LCD of the D-snap. Third, each task feature uses up too much of the memory card. Finally, when using the night vision feature, the camcorder slows the recording down.

Overall, the Panasonic D-snap is very handy, useful, and convenient. It takes up little space in a female's purse, can be fitted into the pockets, and also takes up little space in the suitcase. The D-snap can perform many tasks, leaving a person less objects to carry around. If the person is taking a trip somewhere, he or she can just grab and pack the Panasonic D-snap and leave. The person does not have to look around for his or her mp3, camcorder, or camera.

Caveat Emptor ('Buyer Beware').......2005-11-02

This camera is a piece of crap.

It is poorly constructed (2 screws have already fallen out of mine) and it is repleat with poor photographic and videographic recording capabilities.

I bought one of these for my wife for Christmas 2004, and was severley disappointed in the quality of the videos and photos. Yes, it is a small, compact package, but I've seen cell-phones that take better pictures than this. I even purchased a 512MB memory card for her so that she could shoot some decent length videos, but the picture quality is so bad that she hardly ever uses it.

This camera doesn't even have a firewire connection (something I should have checked on before buying), so we can't download the videos to our Macs. The photos are often blurry and/or grainy (low resolution, even on the 'high reso' setting) and are really not the quality we are accustomed to. I have a Canon Powershot S40 that takes MUCH better photos (and up to 30 seconds of video) than this camera.

I will not EVER be buying a Panasonic/Lumix camera again. Fool me once shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.

good lil player.......2003-04-06

i dont know what some of those guys are talkin about but this player is actually very good...those problems with green screens and skippin has to do with bad connections and not cleaning the set....anyways this dvd player does good and can play a lot...just remember to take care of your stuff along wit it.

it is really a junk.......2002-06-04

I bought this GE 1105p dvd player from Fry's. I did not get a chance to try this junk in the first month because my old TV just can only hooked up with a coaxial cable. I bought a big HDTV month after that and began trying this DVD player, but I was so disappointed because this player only could play some kind of DVD and I almost got it freezing and skipping in half way. The quality of picture is so terrible, it's kind of green. Can't return for a refund. Feel being cheated.I would never buy this brand ever. It's really a juuuuuuuunk. !

You get what you pay for........2001-07-26

In my opinion this is a midrange dvd player. I actually own the 1105P it plays all my movies and all that I have rented. I would have to say that it is very picky about the dvd disk surface. Most movies I rent need to be cleaned or the player skips or just freezes, but after I clean them they work fine. It also will not play any of my cdr's or cdrw's that I have made with movies on them.

A different player..........2001-01-02

I did not purchase the GE1105 but the GE1106. I have nothing to say toward this model, but I have something to say toward the GE1106. The GE1106 exhibits fine picture and sound quailty that is offered even in the 1000$ models. But there was some slight problems toward my player. Each time you play a movie, the movie freezes for one second then it stops. IT does this about once maybe twice if you play the movie. Nothing major, but it gets annyoing after awhile. You should call the GE service for ways to delete this error. But in order for a player to work it should be taken care of very good. If you unplug the Dvd player and then plug it back up, and it doesn't read the disk, its normal. But you shouldn't unplug it unless its an emergency like, a storm coming. You should also use a damp rage that has water in it, and lint free to clean the outside of the player. These are some tips in order to keep picture and sound quality at its highest peak. GE has not found perfection toward their players I recommend this, but you can get more for your money. GE is a huge improvment over Oritron. Believe me.

GE DVD: Very Deceiving!.......2000-12-13

I purchased the same model (GE1105) DVD player by General Electric. After only two months, and having used it no more than 10 times, my DVD's started skipping, until it got to the point where it just wouldn't play it anymore. My mother purchased the same exact model at the same time I did, and she herself is having problems with her GE DVD as well. I tried checking out reviews after this happened, and no reviews on GE DVDs are available. After this experience I do not recommend this GE model DVD. This is the first GE product I've purchased and the last I plan to buy from GE.

Very Good Burner.......2003-12-16

I bought this drive back in December of 2001 and since then, it has been working very well for what burning tasks I had to do such as files, photos, music CDs etc. The HP software that came with this drive offers limited applications. I've used Easy CD Creator after doing some downloads from the web, but I couldn't use memory sticks for my computer's USB ports or dirvers wouldn't recognize them. No other burner softwares supports this drive.

HP writer.......2002-02-06

I bought this back in October 2001, and since then I've been trying to find a software that support this writer, but with no luck, as Easy CD creator, WIN onCD and Nero dose not support this drive. I sent several emails to HP requesting if they know about a software that support their drive, but they suggest to use the software that comes wiht it, which is a very bad one and is not powerfull at all :(

You get a lot of buffer under-run problems with it, and I got like around 20 coasters from this writer. I wish that HP have a burn proof tech. in the new version of this driver.

Product Description

GPX KC2805 is an under-cabinet AM/FM clock radio with timer and alarm.PRODUCT FEATURES:Mounts under cabinet to save space (bracket included);Wake to alarm or radio;Kitchen timer;0.6" red LED display;Stereo sound speakers;AC operation, built-in line cord;Battery back-up against power failure.

Amazon.com Product Description

A must-have for crowded kitchens and offices with little counter or desk space, the GPX KC2805 radio delivers high-quality stereo sound to the full spectrum of AM/FM stations without displacing a single appliance. That's because the radio attaches neatly and conveniently to the bottom surface of a nearby cabinet or desk shelf, which is often the only unused space in a room. The location is so discreet, in fact, that guests may have trouble discerning just where the sound is coming from. In the meantime, listeners can enjoy their favorite music or talk radio programs while cooking up a storm or working on a business proposal. To install, merely attach the included mounting bracket with wood screws, then slide the radio into the bracket. Once up and running, you'll have access to not only all commercial and public stations, but also an alarm (to remind you when your favorite show is about to start) and a timer (for cooking or other uses). In addition, the clock's 0.6-inch red LED display is easy to read, even through steam from boiling water or smoke from frying meat. You can set the alarm to play either music or beeping, and should the under-cabinet location prove inconvenient, you can also store the radio on a counter or a tabletop (a stand is included). And as with the best alarm clocks, the KC2805 also comes with a slot for a 9-volt battery (not included) to protect against power failure. This battery backup feature remembers your time and alarm programming should the AC power go out.

Solid, reliable,compact.......2007-04-03

I upgraded from my previous Freeplay model because the old unit was the size and weight of a tank. I checked out all the Eton models (and a bunch of off brand ones not worth mentioning) before buying this one. I can attest that the Freeplay brand (any model) has the best handcrank mechanisms on the market. Much more solid and better engineered - for example you can crank in either direction and the unit even tells you how fast to crank for optimal charge. The Eton's felt quite fragile in my opinion. And since the radio is for emergency use when you migth be a tad excited (I happen to be in earthquake country), a solid and forgiving charging mechanism is for me most important.

The light works well and the radio can actually be held like a flashlight. Not true with Etons. I still keep other flashlights at the ready but it's good to have as backup.

Alas, Eton can charge my cell phone, and this Freeplay unit can't, so Eton scores one.

An oddity with this radio is how you tune the weather band - it's not part of the AM/FM band, but rather on the back. Weird, but usuable. Unfortunately, the reception for the weather band is a bit spotty; better on some days than others, which may or may not be the fault of the radio.

The antenna is much smaller than my previous Freeplay, so less likely to be broken off. I actually don't need the antenna extended anyway; the radio circuitry is that good.

The solar charger will be tested this summer when I bring the unit camping to keep up with baseball. During off season I keep the unit plugged in over my workbench so its always fully charged. The charging mechanism is smart enough to shut itself off when completed.

Here's another thing to look out for - thie Freeplay unit comes with its own AC adaptor. Many Eton models don't, so if you want an AC adaptor - and who wouldn't - add another $10 to the price of the Eton and then add shipping, but only if you can find a place where the adaptors are stocked.

Yup, the Freeplay is more expensive than the Etons but worth every penny. And I like the yellow - it's hard to misplace.
