Product Description

The incredibly cool design looks like a Starship prototype. But the sound is even better. At this price it's hard to believe that you can get so many features, so much quality and so many extras all in one. But you can. Take this portable CD player anywhere and you can trust that it will never miss a beat. You can even use it while walking. Panasonic features anti-shock memory, so you never hear the skip. SHOCKWAVE Concept Tough Metal Body is stylish, lightweight, durable and Water Resistant. The player includes 24-track random access programming plus repeat random and resume playback modes. The CD player provides long - up to 25-hour - playback with two AA Alkaline Batteries (with Anti-Shock Memory off).

Amazon.com Product Description

This is a durable portable CD player designed for jogging, walking, and other strenuous activities. Features include bass boost, programming of up to 24 tracks, a dual-lock system for the disc lid, and a built-in battery recharger. The SLSW870 is also water and heat resistant so your CDs and the system are protected. It sports a "hold" feature that prevents the user from unintentionally turning the unit on and draining the batteries or accidentally hitting "stop" in the middle of a track.

The included headphones have a special built-in amplifier in the main unit that picks up and boosts the bass signal at around the 50 Hz range. They are worn around the neck, and the VMSS (Virtual Motion Sound System) transforms bass signals into vibrations. This allows you to actually feel the vibration of the bass signals. The remote control is built into the headphones for easy access while on the go.

Since the SLSW870 was designed for rugged activity, the most important feature is the antiskip function. It stores up to 40 seconds of data in its memory to fill in the gaps caused by bumps and vibrations. The SLSW870 comes with a handgrip so you can hold the player while jogging. The SLSW870 includes repeat of one or all tracks, skip/search, memory/recall keys, and 24-track random access programming.

Brainshaker.......2003-04-02

This is one of the best cd players that I have ever used. It will not skip when jogging nor will the batteries fall out because they are mounted on the inside. The headphones have a great sound will excellent bass. The case is made of metal for the most part which brings up the weight but helps a lot when it is droped. The only downsides to this player are that the clips for holding it shut are plastic and not very durrable, and after awile the headphones start to hurt the ears.

Great product!.......2002-10-07

I've had this discman for two years, maybe a little more, and it is incredibly durable. I listen to it constantly - when I'm exercising, walking to school, sleeping, doing homework, etc. and it has always performed without fail. I've dropped it numerous, numerous times, even on the cement, and no damage has been done. I've worn it in heavy rain, dropped it in the water, and it still works.
If you are looking for a quality discman, this is definatley the best choice out there.

I am a rough guy. I go back packing rock climbing sailing and do almost any extreme activity. I take this cd player every where that I go and it hasn't missed a beat. I have destroyed five cd players before I got this one and in 6 months I haven't had to buy a new one. The head phones are also really cool, the remote is built in and can be easily used. The price is well worth the quality of the machine. If you need a good solid cd player this one is the way to go.

Great Headphones.......2006-06-22

This is coming from an audio fanatic that buys lots of headphones and portable audio equipment. These headphones have good sound, bass is clear and mids and highs sound good. I use them with my Audiovox SMP3-222-256 MP3 Player, and my Sony D-EJ001 CD Player, and sometimes on the computer. I would reccomend buying these.

Turn up the volume.......2003-07-17

Purchased these headphones for my son to use with his portable CD/MP3 player. The sound was ok but the headphones are not very efficiant. To hear enough sound, you had to turn the volume all the way up. Even with the volume up high, the headphones just did not deliver.

A Great Product for a Great Price.......2005-10-02

I purchased this Memorex as an alternative for Sony Original DVD. It is performing well and so far I have no complaints. I had rewritten one CD three times now and the quality is still really good.

Works perfectly with Sony DVD Camcorders.......2005-09-03

I just bought a Sony DVD403 camcorder and was looking for DVD-/+Rw's and the cheapest I could find were these. I am still searching for 8 cm DVD+Rw's.. they are not to be found at all.

I Purchased these and have been very satisfied with them. A very good alternative to Sony Discs.

Although a word of caution, if anyone's using DVD403 and also wants to take pix, you can only record 45 min of video (in LP mode) and u will lose 15 min on the disc to photos.

Amazon.com Product Description

Featuring world-renowned Leica DC lenses, Panasonic's DMC-LC20S digital camera packs high-quality optics. Pictures are sure to come out sharp and brilliant thanks to the 2-megapixel CCD sensor, capable of resolutions of up to 1,600 by 1,200 pixels and prints up to 8 by 10 inches. There are two lower-quality settings that you can use to save memory and store more pictures on the included 8 MB Secure Digital (SD) memory card.

The LC20S has an optical zoom of 3x and a 2x digital zoom, making the overall zoom capable of magnifying an image up to six times. The camera has several automatic and manual controls for focus, exposure, white balance, and flash. It also has a feature that enables you to take consecutive pictures at a fast rate (either 3 or 5 frames per second), ideal for those hard-to-capture moving objects and similar to regular full-motion video. Use the large 1.5-inch LCD monitor to keep track of all these settings and manage your photos.

Since the camera has full USB connectivity, you can easily transfer your photos to a PC or Mac. Photo-editing software is also included for more creative uses of your photos. Also included in the package are an AC adapter, battery pack, video and USB cable, and strap.

Customer Reviews:

Complete waste of money.......2004-08-19

Having always been a Panasonic believer, I bought this camera two years ago for a purchase price of $550, after playing with the camera for a year and four months the camera overheated and died on me (at a draft horse show that I had been waiting for for a long time). I sent the camera into Panasonic and was quoted an incredible $350 to fix the camera (market value for that same camera at the time was less than $250). I wrote the CEO of Panasonic only to be directed to someone else. They offered to take the cost of the part and have me pay for labour ($90) and shipping ($20), I asked them if they could instead send me a coupon towards the cost of a new one (as I would have rather spent the $110 on the purchase of a new one with warranty) and they said they couldn't. (more like they wouldn't) Needless to say that I was not impressed and would not recommend this product to anyone. It was a horrible experience dealing with the customer service sector of Panasonic, unfortunately for them they have lost a fond customer and repeat buyer.

spend your money on a good camera.......2004-03-10

I bought this camera less than a year ago. I had it die on me once and i had it exchanged for a different one, after getting the run around from panasonic. A few days ago the camera has just died on me again. There is a 1 year waranty right, no that just covers the cost of parts, labor is on you, which is a $90 flat rate, plus $12 to ship. If you are thinking about buying this camera, you are best off looking else where.

A pack leader.......2003-04-19

I've had this camera now for about 6 months and it's been exactly what I was looking for. It is slightly larger then the much more common Canon Elf line, but had the distinct advantage (at least over early models) of not making your friends look like ghosts when the flash is used (I found images taken with the elf nearly always overexposed - but I've never actually owned one).

The pictures taken with the lumix can be very sharp. I say can be, because I've ended up with more then a handful (out of hundreds) of images which have ended up fairly blurry. Usually these are when I've zoomed out to the full 3x (that's optical zoom - digital zoom is fake, and this camera sensibly lets you disable it). I may have a slightly shaky hand, or a tendency to snap the shutter button hard when I take the picture - I don't think it's very forgiving. If you have a lot of trouble with taking a steady shot you probably will not be happy with this camera. Generally though, my images are sharp and very true to life. I am not sure how much of the quality of the images is attributed to the leica lens, but the light and shadows in my images give pictures from the lumix a depth that is often missing from digital images.

As with nearly all digital cameras, your best pictures will be in bright (but not direct) natural light. And, as with most 2MP digital cameras you won't see the pixelation in the image that is so common in older digital cameras. The images will be suitable for printing at 5x7 (or maybe even 8x10), and you won't have to spend a fortune. It seems like the jump to 3MP costs quite a bit more for an only incremental increase in quality. Again, as with most digital cameras, the lumix really drains the batteries quickly. It uses 2 AA batteries and comes with 2 rechargeables and a charger. I get about 2 hours of "shooting time" with a full charge.

A really sweet feature on this camera is the last photo review. Digital cameras generally have a picture taking mode and a review mode, where you can view and delete your images. The lumix has this, but also allows you to review your last picture. You can see the image, zoom around on the details of it, and if it's bad, you can delete it. It automatically ends the review mode after a few seconds of inactivity. I am totally lost when using a camera without this feature now.

In the 2MP range this camera is definitely a pack leader.

Pros:
Capable of very sharp pictures
Sensible user interface, easy to nagviate
Last photo review is awesome

Cons:
Drains batteries
Somewhat hard to hold focus when zoomed in

"great little camera".......2003-04-06

For my first digital camera, was looking for a reasonable priced 2 mp model and looked at Canon A40, Casio and Fuji equivalents. Running the specs side by side and removing the "nice to haves" left the Panasonic the clear winner for me -good value for money, lots of usefull features, compactness and a Lieca lens stood out in the comparisons. Panasonic and Leica is a good combination and works well in this camera.

The LC20 has good looks and feels the part - It is attractive and is ergnomically very good. Video is a bonus, but not a replacement for a video camera.

Haven't seen any barrel distortion, colour bleed or other faults. The pictures are very sharp, clearly defined and relatively undistorted. The colours are natural and not "over saturated". Some people have reported a little under exposure - rarely see this, but it is easy to compensate for with the software. Have seen some complaints with the software, but have found it okay to use.

Start up time is quick, refresh time between flash shots is up to 5 seconds. Battery use depends on lcd screen use etc. but is not too bad. I bought 4 more 1800ma/hr batteries, so won't run out of power.

Comparing the results with photos taken by friends / family digital cameras this camera more than holds its own.

A little knowledge of photography was helpful as good results in full auto mode in all situations are not always achieveable. Outdoors, just set in auto and shoot for consistently good results. Indoors in lower light situations as with most digital cameras, the flash is not particularly strong, the lcd screen is a little hard to see in low light and the auto focus sometimes takes a little time to work.

If you take the time to read the manual, and learn how to adjust the sensitivity and make exposure compensation adjustments and you will get much better results. Found that changing the sensitivity to ISO200 in low light produced good results, ISO400 can produce noisy pictures.

Positives:

Great value ... came with additional 16mb card, battery charger, case and strap; Compact; Great leans; Good macro; Bright lcd screen and very good menu functionality (intuitive); Quick start up time; Leica lens; Good quality pictures;

Negatives:
No real negatives, but use the battery door carefully. It appears a bit "plasticky" but if you take care no problems.

Great Little Camera.......2003-02-09

After having used this digital camera for two months the conclusion is simple: This camera is great!

The quality of the pictures is really good (at normal/small prints). I am very pleased with the many opportunities digital photos give me, I can just print the pictures from home, send them to my family, edit colors etc.
The ability to see the pictures right at the spot comes in very handy (and I can just delete them if I don't like them). Once you have the camera and a printer it is completely free develop the pictures!

The only drawback this camera has is it's ability to take indoors photos in low light conditions. But using the software that comes with the camera I can easily change that. It takes a little time to learn to use the Arc photo sotware, but once you get used to it is easy (even though I only really use Arc PhotoBase).

The camera has plenty of settings for my use and they are easy to use. I have found that some pictures look better when I turn the photo compression off and set ISO to 200. The pictures will take up a little more space, but the memory is not all that expensive compared to the camera.

One function I am using a lot is the video (with sound). It is very neat to capture small video clips and transfer them to PC (very easy using USB) so you can send them via email. I can also review the pictures on TV using the cable that comes with the camera.

After having this camera two months I have taken over 300 photos, even though I didn't use to take photos at all. I have pretty much takne the camera with me every where! Most of the photos came out in a great quality due to the cameras automatic settings. This really makes it easy to take good photos!
