Amazon.com Product Description

Put the power of advanced photography in your hands with the Canon PowerShot S1 IS ultra-zoom digital camera. With its super-long Zoom, amazing stability and true Movie Mode, the PowerShot S1 IS brings a new dimension to the PowerShot line. Equipped with a host of top-quality features, this stylishly compact camera lets you create stills and movies like you've never done before.

10x Optical 38-380mm Zoom with exclusive Optical Image Stabilizer
Close, closer, closest: the high-speed Zoom Motor moves you in at top speed in near silence. So the high-resolution, super long 10x Optical 38-380mm Zoom Lens (35mm equivalent) with Canon's exclusive optical Image Stabilizer can let you capture the action with an intensity you've never seen before. Canon's shift-type optical Image Stabilizer (IS) technology, which significantly reduces the effects of camera shake--an important feature for high-magnification lenses. Tiny movement detection gyros and a correcting lens element counteract the effects of lens shake to deliver sharper final images. The resulting compensation is the equivalent of between 2 and 3 extra stops, which means the camera can be used at slower shutter speeds without a tripod without any detectable increase in image blur.

Optics and Resolution
The PowerShot S1 IS features a maximum resolution of 3.2 megapixels, or 2048 x 1536 pixel images--enough for prints up to 11 x 14 inches. It also has 1600 x 1200, 1024 x 768, and 640 x 480 resolution modes. The camera features a 10x, f/2.8 - f/3.1, 38-380mm (35mm equivalent) optical zoom lens. The zoom is driven by a tiny ultrasonic motor (USM), which uses ultrasonic frequency vibrations to drive a tiny rotor that is powerful and highly responsive. In digital still modes it drives the zoom at maximum speed, while in video mode it slows for a smooth effect and runs virtually silent, avoiding interference with video sound recording.

Vari-Angle LCD with enhanced resolution

1.5" LCD Monitor with two brightness levels: Shoot from any angle with the PowerShot S1 IS's rotating Vari-Angle LCD Monitor. The Monitor's enhanced resolution also allows you to clearly preview and review your stills and movies to make shooting fun and easy.

Take camcorder-quality movies right from the camera
30 frames-per-second VGA Video with Sound: The PowerShot S1 IS has a greatly enhanced Movie Mode that lets you shoot up to sixty minutes of DV-Quality VGA video with superior sound quality. Plus, you can zoom in the Movie Mode -- and even edit your movies -- right on the camera's LCD screen.

Instant Computer Connection
Picture Transfer Protocol for Win XP and Mac OS: Just connect the PowerShot S1 IS into the USB connection of your Windows XP or Macintosh OS computer. PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol) allows the computer and camera to communicate instantly and to start the picture download process. There's no need to install a special driver!

Advanced Digital Imaging Technology

Canon's exclusive DIGIC Imaging Processor revolutionizes how you shoot digital by allowing the camera to process images faster and improving the accuracy of the autofocus. DIGIC also reduces the effects on noise in your images.
iSAPS Technology is an entirely new scene-recognition technology developed for digital cameras by Canon. Using an internal database of thousands of different photos, iSAPS works with the fast DIGIC Imaging Processor to improve focus speed and accuracy, as well as exposure and white balance.

A Little of Everything.......2007-08-19

The S1 is the only camera I could find with a fairly high power zoom that also has a waterproof box which can be bought separately (no, it does not fit the S3). Although the retail price is a bit steep, I found a used camera with cleaning kit, filters, 3x lens, wide angle lens, etc. I ended up paying nearly $500 but I have a very versatile camera which I don't plan to replace for a long time. 3.2 mp works fine up to printer size paper. 2500 mah nimh batteries last plenty long enough and custom white blanking allows impressive low light pictures. I mostly use the auto setting because I still haven't explored all of the features explained in the manual.

Excellent camera for beginner or advanced.......2007-06-01

I've had this camera for more than 2 years and I'm ready to upgrade to the s3 version although this camera is still working great after years of moderate-heavy use as our "family camera". Although the size isn't all that convenient, it's fantastic movie mode means you can sell your camcorder. I have a professional Canon that I use in my wedding business, but this is in the bag for a backup situations and short video clips. If you practice in the creative modes, adjusting white balance, ect, not only will you get better, more creative photos-making this easy to use camera fun for an amateur photographer- you'll overcome the low-light situation mentioned in other reviews. Also I have lots of great photos from family trips taken in dark caves, around campfires and Disney at night. Just read the manual and use the right mode for the situation. A common mistake is using the portrait at night mode instead of the action at night in the auto modes.

We had good times.......2007-04-22

VERY sensitive to cold weather. Pouts and does not put its lens out if left in the JEEP overnight in Montana even if it's spring and there's only a light flurry that evening. I was just getting everything set perfectly (yes, it's taken me 4 years) when the lens quit extending. It is now a paperweight or doorknob art. It does still read cards...a plus, for door knob art, I think. I saw one person whose camera didn't work for them in the winter very well at all, mine worked fine while dog sledding and other great times in Montana and this camera moved from Florida all at once.

Shooting it fully automatic as you would with a cheap compact, you miss out on many of the features, not to mention: many good photos from dawn through a dimly lit club in the wee hours~~all without flash. If you can read the manual, you can work this camera, which has ways to personalize settings without worries as you can always "return to default" without concern.
Mine enjoyed over exposing when running free on fully automatic in full on daylight. I wish it would had been better at identifying moving targets and selecting shorter exposures, even in rapid mode.

These problems aside, the camera itself is capable of very good photos. Be advised, this could be a point and shoot, but to get the photos that you really want, decisions must be made! I don't believe this is for the casual photographer that is only interested in point-and-shoot. A feel for the basic photography concepts: using aperture or timing priority or fully manual; knowing what effects ISO and exposure compensation, etc. These will all be explained enough in the manual for you to operate the camera enough to enjoy it, I think. If you know how to use Picasa, the simplest way to add UV filter, I think, you don't even need to buy the proprietary click in version to actually place on the camera to make your photos look more appealing and professional. Go to go to Irish Gypsy's my space page to see photos ALL taken with this camera.
I strongly recommend spending a few hours with the advanced manual and the camera and learning properly how the exposure, white balance and focus controls work. It will really pay off! What you see on the approximately 1 knuckle length wide by about 1.5 knuckle long display screen will be what you get. Though it is difficult to see the itsy bitsy screen in bright daylight, this camera really shines in dim light with help from things like white balance to make sure you don't get the false sepia tone that makes things look so awful in dim light photos and Image Stabilizer mode, which I used even on the tripod, in case I forgot to turn it back on. Either way, this camera ate batteries like a bear on huckleberries. My battery recharger is worn out!! I'll be replacing the camera and the recharge.

All in all, worth the cost of purchasing the camera as a first digital camera. It is bulky, and I did miss out on some great shots because I didn't feel like hauling the camera with me on some particular excursion. I hope my replacement will take shots as nicely.
~~~~~~
May I say that I purchased this through here and Amazon does a DARN fine job!!

Superb.......2007-03-17

That's all you need in a simple camera.
Compact Flash (the cheapest), NiMH AA batteries (idem), 10x optical zoom.
Just missing a macro but, ...

a bit awkward.......2007-03-06

The size isn't very convenient compared to the compact digitals, and the viewing screen is too small.

Save My Hearing!.......2004-06-20

These headphones use active technology to reduce outside noise. I choose them because the price is much lower than the similar Bose product. Since I did not buy both, I cannot say which is the best. They are terrific on an interstate highway or on an airplane. It is most effective at cancelling out low rumbles and hums. It is less effective at cancelling out conversations around you. The batteries have a long life, but when they finally wear out, you can still use these as ordinary headphones. You do need power to get the active noise reduction. The unit is compact, and it includes an adapter to use it with the sound system on an airliner. If you don't want to listen to music, you can turn on noise cancellation without hooking it up to a music source. If it came with a good carrying case and if I knew it was better than Bose, I would give it five stars.

Arggg nothing but a waste of time.......2007-07-11

I have the 160GB drive and after wasting 5 hours of trying to download my files there was nothing in the directory, now I have to try to re-format the whole thing...I will return it tomorrow!!! Stay away from Maxtor drives. There was absolutely nothing simple about it...One Touch are you kidding!!!!

Amazing drive. Stable and never crashes! RECOMMENDED!!!!!!.......2007-06-09

This drive is great. One of the best things is the full metal casing - it's not like the cheap plastic casings of most harddrives. USB2.0 and Firewire interface. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!

2nd Maxtor Drive Failed in 2 Years.......2007-05-31

I bought this drive in Feb of 2005. Five months later, it crapped out. Maxtor sent me another one and I was able to recover nearly everything with the assistance of some great computer people. Not even a year after receiving the new drive, it failed today! It's clicking and squeaking. Not the sound you want from your hard drive. I am terrified to buy a Seagate drive now that they have acquired/bought Maxtor. I am not sure where I will turn from here, but I will NEVER buy another Maxtor product -- waranteed or not. My data is too valuable to trust to this company.

Buyer Beware!.......2007-02-10

This drive has been nothing but trouble since I bought it. For most of the time the problem was that it was always "iffy" whether or not the drive would be recognized by any of the multiple computers I connected it to. Sometimes the drive would not be recognized until it was connected for 15 or so minutes. Other times it was never recognized at all.
I chanced upon this Amazon review area a few moments ago while doing an online search in Google for "Maxtor external hard drive fail heat" because for a couple of months now (!) this drive has been dead. I have tons of files on it that I'd like to save but at the moment nothing I've tried to revive it has worked. The Maxtor/Seagate website is useless, and before that I'd contacted its Customer Service which was equally unhelpful.
I bought this (and another smaller Maxtor drive which has not been as trouble-prone) because I *thought* Maxtor meant quality. Boy am I disappointed!
At this time I only want to salvage the many gigs of files on this drive, if possible, and burn them to DVDs as this drive is on its last legs.
I will never buy another Maxtor drive, no question about it! :-(

Do not buy this - Unreliable.......2007-01-13

After less that 8 months my Maxtor one touch II 300 gb external hard drive bit the dust. I bought it in May 2006. I just read the reviews listed here and was amazed at how many people lost data and had the drive crash. I called the company and they said it would be very expensive for me to recover the data. I lost many irreplaceable documents and after only 8 months of use you would figure that the company would bend over to help me retrieve them. Instead they want top dollar to help me retrieve my own documents on a lousy storage device they designed. After reading these review I don't want a replacement drive from the Company as it's only a matter of time before I lose the data that is stored on it. Don't buy it and save yourself a lot of headaches.

Get the most from your hardware money with the Microtek ScanMaker X12USL dual platform and interface scanner. It features true hi-definition 42-bit color, single pass 1200 x 2400dpi scans, and includes both USB and SCSI interfaces. The ScanMaker X12USL is a full legal size scanner with a robust software package that includes Microtek software CD and Adobe Photoshop Elements CD. Perfect for small graphic houses, law offices, medical facilities and accounting firms with multiple needs.

Amazon.com Review

Perfect for small graphics businesses, professional offices, and other commercial ventures with multiple needs, the Microtek ScanMaker X12USL Office Edition combines speed, sharp images, and brilliant colors in a single-pass scanner. This scanner offers 1,200 x 2,400 dpi, high-definition 42-bit color for outstanding resolution, a flat bed with a full legal-size 8.5-by-14-inch scanning area, a 25-page automatic document feeder, and a software package designed to meet the needs of demanding users.

In our tests, we found the ScanMaker X12USL Office Edition to be a solid but light workhorse, weighing in at only 17 pounds. Its design is sturdy but readily transportable and aesthetically clean. With the software bundle, which includes Adobe Photoshop LE 5.0, you can produce outstanding professional-quality images. And editing and enhancing images is a snap with Microtek's ScanWizard5 software, which provides a simple and straightforward approach to navigating through your scanning tasks. The included Trellix Web Microtek Edition and optical character recognition (OCR) software further assist in reading scanned text and editing images. After scanning and editing your images, you can print them or export them to e-mail with a single mouse click.

Most modern scanners are easy to connect and include software that is easy to install, and this is true of the ScanMaker X12USL Office Edition as well. We especially liked the individually zip-locked bags labeled for SCSI or USB connections, and the separate installation and reference guides for Windows and Mac. (You can connect the scanner to either a USB or SCSI port on either a PC or Macintosh, including iMac.) Though setup was easy, we highly recommend reading the well-written, very logical reference guide for the fastest, most trouble-free installation. It took us only 15 minutes from the time we opened the box to the time were scanning. We were a bit disappointed that the software was not more thoroughly documented. However, once it's set up, the software presents all scanning options in an intuitive onscreen layout.

Overall, we were very impressed with the ScanMaker X12USL Office Edition, with its formidable software package, and with the resulting dazzlingly color-accurate scans. --David Greenberger

I bought this tv from an Ames before they closed and this tv has lasted this long and is much better then my old magnovox television

Pretty Darn good.......2000-04-24

I was given this TV as a gift. Although it is large and cumbersome to install, the picture and sound quality are great. Sitting in front of this TV makes you feel like you have a "Big Screen" tv but the picture is superior to a projection television. This is a great Value.

Works great with new PS2, but made for ORIGINAL PS2.......2006-10-04

This bundle is made for the original first gen PS2. I own the smaller second generation PS2. The remote control works pretty well though, I am enjoying not having a cord strung across the room, and trying to remember which button on the controller does what. The range is really good. I can stand about 15ft away and still control the PS2 (didn't test any farther). The remote and receiver I got shipped doesn't look like the picture. The remote has a few more buttons (like a square, triangle and circle) and the receiver is a little bigger with a throughput. The only troubles I'm having with the remote is the pause button; I can't just press it, I have to rapid click it to get the DVD to pause. I really like the power button on the remote; press to turn on, hold to turn off.

Pros:
turns the PS2 into a remote controlled DVD player
can power PS2 on/off remotely
remote has menu, power, subtitle, and sound buttons
pretty cheap considering the functionality

Cons:
made for first gen PS2
stand DOES NOT fit second gen PS2
eject button does nothing

Would I buy again? If you use your PS2 for watching DVDs, YES!
