Nice little player.......2007-01-18

I bought my Gmini 402 about 2 months ago. I love it. I use it to play MP3's, take pictures and shoot videos. It also doubles as a portable hard disk drive. I've found the player to be reliable, the sound quality to be good and the picture quality to be good. The player allows for the creation of playlists and for the export of playlists from your computer to the player. It can be connected to a Windows machine as a windows device or as a hard disk drive. I found it easier to use the device connected to the computer as a hard disk drive. I found the device to be relatively easy to use. I've knocked the player around a few times, but it still keeps playing. The only other device of this type that I ever had was an RCA Lyra which I also liked. I haven't used and IPOD, but from what I have read this device seems to be in many ways superior to an IPOD that would be in the same price range. The creation of playlists could be a little more intuitive, but overall I give this machine 5 thumbs up.

Terrible Quality.......2006-12-13

I recieved my Gmini 402 as a gift a year ago. After only a few months it had already broken (the headphone jack broke). Though I sent it in and had it repaired, when it came back it could now only hold 18.3 gb rather than 20gb! I called customer service (finding the number was an almost impossible feat) and the person on the line dismissed me saying that I didn't know anything and that nothing was wrong.
I find it a difficult gadget to use and it takes a long time to find what you're looking for. The more you have in it, the longer it takes to find the song/album you're looking for. The video screen is just to small to be practical and it only plays files that are supported by Windows Media Player so forget about any RealMedia or Quicktime files you may have.
I would not recomend Archos as a company to buy anything from. And I certainly would not recomend this product to anyone. Period.

The device worked well and was a joy to use. For about two months. It then refused to turn on. I had to send it back to Archos. About a month later I receive a replacement. The replacement had a shoddy D-pad and couldn't recharge. Obviously nobody even checked to see if it worked before sending it to me. Had to send it back. It's been about 5 weeks so far and I have to keep calling, listening to some lady who only works there 2 days a week complain about all the problems they have with the warehouse. I regret this purchase more than anything I've ever bought.

Save money.......2006-06-30

you can save a [...] load of money by buying this from dish netowrk, they call it the pocket dish, but it does the same exact things, the only different thing is that it is dvr compatible, so if you have dish network, you can plug it into you dish dvr and put tv shows in it. its only 150$ over there. thats over 50% cheaper.

Worst product ever purchased.......2006-05-12

After searching around and looking at other reviews of this product I decided it would be an excellent media player. I purchase the product and was very pleased with how the product functioned. After 8 days of casual use the product would not start up past the Archos welcome screen. After 3 attempts at getting the RMA department to get my address information correct for a RMA, I then sent the product in early Jan 2006. After a week I received an email from the service department to notify me that the repair would cost $80 without a proof of purchase (PoP) within a year that it was received my their department. No problem since the product broke after a week of use, so it was well within Archos 1 yr warranty. I first attempted to send the PoP by email to the department without any luck. I then faxed the PoP to the RMA department on four separate dates. Each time I called the RMA department the status of my RMA was still "Waiting on PoP." I was told many times that RMA department manager was looking into the issue and that he would call me back. I began to get sick of hearing that a manager would call me back. After several attempts to actually speak to one of these managers I finally talked to Paul. Paul gave me his email address at Archos so that I could email the PoP directly to him. Paul also explained to me that the Service department had been moved to another location. This was the first time I had heard of this information. He also explained that the Service department had just started shipping out repaired items in the last couple of weeks. This is April now. No wonder the RMA department was never getting my PoP to the Service department. The Service department did not exist at the time. What kind of RMA department has no idea that their Service department is not operational? Also, what kind of company closes their Service department to move it to another location? Archos. So, I start to feel like things are going to be moving. The next time I call the RMA department I find that my product is fixed but has not been shipped out. You would think that their Service department would ship the items they've had their inventory the longest, first. Not Archos. I'm still waiting on my product. That's right its now 11 May 2006. My current status of my RMA is that a Archos RMA department manager is looking into it and will call me back. Do not waste your time with this product.

Product Description

Kodak Advantix T700 compact, easy fit camera for active lifestyles is an advanced zoom camera with a sharp 25-50 mm lens. It is ultra-compact size, weather proof, with rubberized surface for a sure grip. Flip flash reduces red eye; auto-fill flash creates better outdoor people pictures.

Amazon.com Product Description

Kodak's first ultracompact, weatherproof camera, the Advantix T700 zoom camera is constructed with multiple rubber seals around the control buttons, film and battery doors, and the lens to keep moisture out of the body and the lens. This lets you shoot outside in any weather, and the camera's rubberized surface provides a sure grip. The pop-up flash is farther from the lens to reduce red eye. A sturdy lens cover acts as the camera's on/off switch.

The Advantix T700 uses Kodak's PQix (Picture Quality Information Exchange) feature, which records data about each frame on the film's magnetic strip; this ensures that your images are properly exposed and developed by your photo processor. The real-image viewfinder lets you properly frame each shot and changes the view depending on which of the three image formats you choose (C, H, or P). Kodak also included a safety interlock on the film door to make sure the door won't open until your film is completely rewound. You can imprint the date and time, or one of 41 titles in 12 languages, on your images so you never forget when you took them.

indestructible camera!.......2005-08-04

This is a great little camera-- the pictures are good quality, (not great, but darn good), & it is virtually indestructible. I've had mine for three years now & it's been dropped, kicked, left in the rain & it still works like I bought it yesterday. It's perfect for people who always break their cameras or if you anticipate lots of hard use, but is not for those looking for professional quality pics.

Mediocre.......2004-04-13

I really liked this camera the first year I had it. The pictures were good, it was very convenient... but a few days after the one year warranty had expired, the camera started to rewind the film after just one or two pictures and sometimes freeze up (the lens wouldn't retract). It is currently at a repair shop. Another downside is the high cost of APS film and development.

i hate this camera.......2004-02-11

I took this camera with me on many a college a adventure and after shooting 3 roles that got progressively worse I'm fed up with this shoddy crap. the only pictures that come out are indoors with decent artifical light and outdoors, but not bright. It won't take pictures in the dark, they shouldn't even tempt you with the different shutter options, none work. I even sent my camera in after the lcd broke. they wouldn't replace it but they did send me back a role of test pictures that for some reason were all perfectly developed, i wish i knew what camera they used...

Lemon!.......2003-11-18

I received this camera as a gift in January. It has already been back to Kodak once for repairs, and now it is going back again - for the same problem! After I load a new roll of film in it, it takes one picture & automatically rewinds the entire roll. Very frustrating. Picture quality is OK, but have only successfully been able to shoot 3 complete rolls of film since January because of it's quirky film problem.

Reduced picture quality.......2003-07-14

This little camera has nice features such as it's size, weight, and weatherproofing. Picture clarity is another issue. Photos are no where near 35 mm quality. They tend to look soft and kind of fuzzy. Not sure if the focus is off or the film resolution is that much less or I am just too picky. If you are looking for a easy to carry and use camera and are not too concerned about picture qualiity, this camera will serve you well. I will be getting rid of mine.
