big dissapointment.......2007-09-13

if you are looking for the good quality picture - do not waste your money on this thing.

Great for travel!.......2007-09-07

I carry this with me every where! What ever you do buy the leather case for it! I have had it for over a year now. At 11 months the zoom feature quit working, I go thru airport security several times a week, I think the x-ray machines were the problem. I returned it to Canon for repair. They turned it around in less than a week with updated firmware, no charge! I saw Wal-Mart selling these on closeout for under $300.00 with a color printer. I wish I had bought it there. I don't know what model replaces this one. I hope it works as well!

not so happy.......2007-09-06

This was a great camera but I'm only giving it 1 star because I've only had it for 14 months and it just stopped working. It is now past the warranty period and will cost me $127 at a minimum to get it fixed.

Great camera and great pictures.......2007-08-21

My wife and I love this camera. We bought it to replace a bulky older camera. This camera takes pictures with the same quality and it is compact which means we take it everywhere we go. It doesn't have all of the features of the bulkier camera but it gets used more.

beware e18.......2007-08-16

I've had this camera for 14 months - 2 months past the warranty. Got a sudden E18 error and it's dead now. Google e18 canon error and you'll see I'm not alone - this product can't be trusted - keep shopping!

Greatly improves your digital flash photos by enhancing the camera's built-in flash -- extends flash range for telephoto shots, eliminates or minimizes red-eye, and improves the overall quality of the lighting in all your photographs
Fully compatible with Canon PowerShot Digital Cameras and nearly all other Digital Cameras with tripod-socket including: Casio, Epson, Fuji Finepix, HP, Kodak Easyshare, Minolta DiMAGE, Nikon Coolpix, Olympus Stylus, Panasonic, Pentax Optio, Ricoh and Sony Cybershot Digital Cameras

Product Description

The Cameta 2800 Flash has two automatic power settings, a correct exposure verification indicator, a bounce head adjustable up to 90-degrees for soft lighting effects, and energy-saving thyristor circuitry for faster recycling and longer battery life. While most camera's built-in flash units are only effective from a distance of 8 to 12 feet, the Cameta 2800 Flash gives you the freedom to be more than four times farther away. With this much additional flash power, it's almost like having a bolt of lightning at your command. >>> The Sunpak Digital Slave Grip has a comfortable contoured hand-grip with quick-release camera platform and enables the use of the Cameta 2800 Flash as a wireless remote "slave" to complement your camera's built-in flash. The Digital Slave Grip can even be used off-camera with the 2800 Flash as a remote slave for more professional and creative lighting effects. >>> The built-in flashes of most digital cameras emit a "pre-flash" and/or a "red-eye" pulse that fires before the shutter opens, followed by an additional flash pulse which actually lights your picture. This "pre-flash" or "red-eye" pulse confuses other non-digital flash and slave units, causing them to go off at the wrong time, rendering them useless for your digital camera. But the advanced pulse-counting digital circuitry of the Sunpak Digital Slave Grip is not fooled by the "pre-flash." Five LED-indicated pulse-counting and delay-variations are incorporated into the Digital Slave Grip allowing it to ignore "pre-flashes" and fire the powerful 2800 Flash at the precise moment your camera requires. Set it up with your camera's built-in flash just once -- using our included easy-to-follow step-by-step directions -- and you are all set for noticeably better flash pictures from that moment on. The Cameta 2800 Flash and Digital Slave Grip require a total of 8 - AA batteries -- which are included in this kit, along with a padded case, NiMH Charger, and Cleaning Kit.

Digital Slave Flash + Grip -.......2007-05-15

Well worth the $60.00 Good value for the money! A must if you use a fisheye or telephoto at night.

Very Easy to setup.......2007-05-11

Bought this flash and grip for my fuji s7000. could'nt find one that was specific to this camera but tried this anyway. Results were very very good - night and day difference from using built in flash and set up was very straight forward. Plus side I did'nt have to worry about other flashes having voltage issues or needing adapters. Flash is very quick to be on the ready status - still playing with it to see how long battery lasts but otherwiswe excelent purchase. Took a while to get here but the wait was worth it.

Almost Perfect Every-time.......2006-01-08

I have had my PX 708A since Dec 2003 and it has always performed as expected with a burn speed of about 7.80X as an average for a DVD + R. I have had only a couple of coaster while writing to a CD-R at 48X. I don't know much about all the other burners but I can say this, if I call Plex Support as to how to do something, I always get a knowledgeable technical support person that speaks REAL English, and they know what you are are talking about! I don't think you can get this level of service anywhere else like the commodity supplier to include Sony, Dell, LG, HP or even Panasonic, maybe Canon but hay they don't make burners yet. People that know, know Plextor, it is usually the one setting the standard and it it is almost always the the best Optical drive you can buy,however you may have specific needs and have no need for the quality or features that Plextor offers. This unit is now dated so it should go for about fifty to seventy five bucks, buy new if you can.

PX-708A Stopped reading / writing DVDs .......2005-12-09

I owned the PX-708A for less than 2 years. It recorded DVDs with unpredictable results. After spending hours working on a DVD production and burning it with the PX-708A,it would fail during playback. Wasted many high quality DVDs. Recently wrote to Plextor to try to get my PX-708A repaired for a price, since it was out of warranty. They replied that they no longer fix opitical drives. I replied back to them how disapponted I was, since at the time I paid $218.00 for this drive. The responded, "it's out of warranty, there's nothing we can do."
Look elsewhere for someone who stands behind their product after the warranty runs out. It sure isn't Plextor.

Excellent Burner.......2004-03-26

I got this burner for christmas and its been flawless. I got a 25 pack of 4x Memorex DVD+Rs and I haven't made a coaster yet. It burns the memorex 4x at 8x speeds! Takes me around 4-8 minutes to burn a disk. Plus plextor has a very good reputation and are always updating firmware to keep up to date with the lastest DVD media.

Performs well, good support, one glitch.......2003-12-11

I discovered that the drive worked fine with DVDs but not CDs. Plextor support was excellent (returning e-mails on weekend evenings, even).

It turned out to be a known hardware defect. One annoying downside is that return shipping for warrantee support is paid for by the customer, even though the fault was with Plextor (not that this kind of return policy is unusual).

Great burner.......2003-10-09

It's fast!. With 4x media like TDK you can burn at 8x (DVD+R only). I like the option of having multiple formats, and with Plextor quality, that's even better!
