Amazon.com Product Description

Minolta's Maxxum 9 Professional 35mm camera combines speed and precision for a high-quality shooting experience. The film drive enables 5.5 frames per second of continuous shooting so you can capture subtle changes in your subject. Combined with the 1/12,000-second shutter speed, the world's fastest, you'll capture perfect action and sports events shots.

The flash synch is also fast, up to 1/300 seconds. This allows you to use wider apertures for daylight synch shots of objects at a distance. With 100 percent field-of-view, the Maxxum 9 maintains a large magnification ratio of 0.73x. Minolta designed the Maxxum 9 for durability, with a tough, rigid metal cover to protect it from damage. The base is padded with rubber to absorb shocks and to provide a more secure left- hand grip. Adverse conditions won't affect your shooting either. The Maxxum 9 is dust- and moisture-resistant, although not waterproof.

With either automatic or manual focus and exposure, the Maxxum 9 provides flexibility and creative control. It is responsive to your intentions; you can make fine adjustments to the automatic settings or comprehensive changes to the individual systems. With the special data memory function, you'll never worry about developing your photographs at the wrong exposure. The Maxxum 9 stores up the data of up to seven rolls of 36 exposures on aperture, lens focal length, shutter speed, and more.

EASY TO USE.......2005-10-02

This camera has worked on my mind for a few years now ever since its introduction in 1999. As a long time Nikon owner, I avioded buying one. I mean it's not the most beautiful camera in the world. But at last it began to look good to me, I mean really good and I decided I must own one. But, alas, they are nearly out of production. I had to settle for a well cared for used one. The camera works like a dream. The controls are easy to locate and easy to use, even in the dark. They glow. There is a limited production still available in stainless and titanium and I think the Dynax european edition is still available if you can locate one. The limited edition sells for ahefty $2500. and is currently back ordered. Get one if you can and the heck with anyone who tells you its not pro and ugly.

No Regrets.......2005-03-05

I have owned the Maxxum 9 for about a year now and have no complaints. I bought it because of the good reviews I read on the internet. Very tough camera. I use it frequently. I purchased 2 interchangeable lenses for it and I am satisfied with the operation and the outcome of my pictures, which I also need to include is the are 21 Custom Funcions.

Pro Camera from the mind of MInolta.......2004-04-22

I have spent a lot of time in camera stores and I have always thought Minolta products always got unfairly shoved to the side. The notion that Minolta cameras and lenses are inferior to Nikon and Canon is crap, and is perpetuated by certain camera snobs and self-proclaimed experts. I shoot regularly as an advanced amateur and I own and use the Maxxum 9. I feel that it is the most intuitive 35mm professional camera out there. The quality of construction is first rate, on par with the best that Nikon and Canon have to offer. The camera has a solid feel, everything about it is high quality. The control layout is so self-explanatory that most photographers can learn to use the camera in 5 minutes without flipping through the manual. With respect to lenses. I still run into narrow-minded people who ask me which "Nikkors" I use upon seeing my photographs, and then these self-proclaimed "experts" simply refuse to believe me when I inform them that my images are all created with Minolta AF cameras and lenses. No, I am not kicking Canon and Nikon products, obviously they are very good, several million pros using those systems cannot be wrong about them. But pretentious "camera aficionados" who slight the Maxxum 9 don't know what they are missing out on. I am sold on the Minolta Maxxum 9. When choosing lenses go for the G-Series, optically they are cut every bit as good as the very best lenses Nikon and Canon make. I've shot pictures with all these brands and even established pros who shoot with other systems admit that my images are just as sharp as any they've seen or made. And they absolutely love the 9's layout. Minolta would do well to stay with the Maxxum 9's basic concept when designing their future pro cameras. Now if they would only make a full frame digital body based on the Maxxum 9...........

Pro Camera from the mind of Minolta.......2004-04-21

I have owned the camera since April 2003 and it has produced some wonderful images for me. (...) . A lot of camera aficionados claim that the Maxxum 9 is not as good as the other true pro-level cameras by Nikon and Canon. On paper, there may be some merit to this argument. Going by pure specs alone on paper, the F5 and EOS1V certainly are more electronically advanced than the Maxxum 9, and the devoted pro following for these two excellent machines is a huge statement for these two brands. By the way I'll be the first to say that Nikon and Canon both make excellent products, so if all you diehard loyalists expect me to badmouth your beloved brands just because I love Minolta, I ain't that kind of guy. But in real-world shooting situations, and taken on its own merits, the Maxxum 9 is no less of a professional machine than the F5 or EOS1V. The ease of use of the Maxxum 9 shines through. Admittedly, the Maxxum 9's AF system is more basic, but the hidden beauty is that it is simple to comprehend and use, and is plenty fast to boot. The 14-segment honeycomb metering is an older design than Canon's, and certainly not as sexy-sounding as the Nikon 1005pixel RGB sensor. But the bottom line is that it produces well-exposed images on slide film at a success rate at least as good as the other two. Simply put, the Maxxum 9 is no F5 or EOS1V, nor should it be. The simple fact is that it is a very reliable, extremely easy to use picturemaker, and as long as you mount top-quality Minolta G-Series optics on it there is no reason to feel inferior standing next to someone with an F5 or EOS1V. The popular belief that Minolta optics are inferior is also undeserved. I've watched many times over as store sales people used entry level Minolta SLRs and lenses to illustrate Minolta's "inferior" build quality against a pro-level rig in the form of a Nikon F5 with an 80-200 f/2.8 AF-S !!! I still run into snobby brandname "camera collectors" who ask me this: "Why use Minolta?" upon seeing my Maxxum 9 slung around my neck. I simply say "Why not?"

Best Yet.......2002-04-25

The Minolta Maxxum 9 is the the best camera I have had the joy to use. It's built rock solid and has not let me down.

Excellent Headphones!.......2007-03-21

Very rich sound with good base from a lightweight, compact (foldable), and inexpensive set of headphones! I have always had good experiences with JVC audio equipment!

OUTSTANDING!.......2006-06-22

My husband and I love these headphones. We workout and do yard work with these headphones on and never have a problem. They are great for traveling because they fold up and easy to put in a carry-on bag.

Excellent head phones for the money.......2004-11-25

JVC in my opinion is one of the best .. but most under-rated companies. When I bought this headphone I really liked it .. but being a brand-name freak .. somehow wanted to convince myself that they are indeed so good. So I got a little more expensive sony and same priced panasonic headphones from the local circuitcity, ... heard same songs from each headphone .. again and again ... Bugged my wife until she (unwillingly) agreed to become a subject of my experiment.

Conclusion: Great sound .. better than more expensive Sony. Definitely better than panasonic (well, don't remember the exact model numbers .. but their prices were higher than JVC). The long cord and the nice pouch are definitely an added bonus.

Small issues... like the ear pads are almost non existent .. may feel a little hard for delicate ears. Also, the clip for ears may get a bit uncomfortable after long wear. Finally, the wrap-around band is not the usual wrap around! It sticks a little bit behind the head .. so you may not be able to lie down on a pillow comfortably and use the head-set ....

Just stopped working.......2006-11-21

This burner just stopped working one day. I was very disappointed after being so excited about backing up my dvd movies. What can I say? Can I trust HP burners again? Looks like I will have to fork over another x amount of $$ to replace? Ordering online? Well, only if I can get a warrenty.

Unreliable.......2006-04-16

I bought an HP DVD 640E, used it for 13 months worked fine burned dvd's and CD's. I thought it was great value. I noticed the case was a bit warm from the start and wondered if it should have a fan. Then it died, no resurrection, you can't put another DVD burner in the unit unless you can find the exact HP replacement because of the unique design of the plug and socket which mates the burner to the USB interface.

I think I'd have been better off in the long run to have bought a USB case and internal burner. This was a lot of money down for such little use.

It's the second HP DVD burner I've had the other one failed after 9 months and I got it replaced with some effort. I'd not buy another HP DVD drive of any kind.

I gave it one star for reliability though if it had not failed I would have given it five. It's sad that you can't buy a reliable product, I feel very let down by such a well known name. Come on HP offer me a reasonable priced repair or a good dial on a trade in and I'll post a much more favourable report.

No problems so far.........2005-08-26

I've burned only one DVD+R so far with this burner. It was a breeze. DVD worked great on two sony dvd players (4-5 yrs old). Had no problem using it with Video editing software ArcSoft ShowBiz. I purchased a refurb model for a bargain - the power cord connection is slightly misaligned and therefore 4 stars. Excellent value for the price I paid. Have not used dvd-r, dvd+-rw or Dual Layer yet.

UPDATE: Burned and tested DVD-R without any probs. Also, burned data DVD using ULead Burn.Now successfully.
