Product Description

You will appreciate the quality produced by the QV-R4 as soon as you view your images. This cam is sized right and priced right. It is so easy to use that it's hard to believe it is so feature-rich! The compact configuration of the high-performance QV-R4 camera makes it perfect for recording those special moments whenever and wherever they happen. LSI system provides lightening-fast response of about 0.01 second, which means there is virtually no time loss between the point you press the shutter release and when the image record is beginning. A simple, stylish stainless steel body provides QV-R4 with a high level of durability and a feel of quality. Modes are selected using a flat-profile dial, and all function keys are carefully positioned for easy, intuitive operation. Images can be stored on an SD memory card, and the camera also includes built-in flash memory that allows recording even when a card is not loaded or when the memory card is full. The press of a button generates HTML files that arrange images into a handy album format. An album can be published on a Website or printed. You can select the album layout you want to use, as well as background color and other options. Triple Self-timer records three consecutive shots of you and your group with a single press of the shutter release button. Then you can select the image you want to keep. You can set up an alarm to display a particular image when the alarm time is reached. This means you can display an image of a person or place at a specific time as a handy reminder.

Amazon.com Product Description

The Casio QV-R4 incorporates the latest in digital-imaging technology at an agreeable price. It boasts a 4-megapixel sensor, 3x optical zoom, full-motion movie mode, and 11 MB of built-in memory to compete with today's best digital cameras. The sleek and stylish stainless-steel body is solid to withstand heavy use, and is compact for easy traveling.

Optics and Resolution
The 4-megapixel CCD sensor captures razor-sharp images of up to 2,304 by 1,712 pixels, creating prints with sizes of up to 20 by 30 inches. You won't miss any of the action with the 3x optical zoom and, when combined with the 3.2x digital zoom for a total magnification of 9.6x, the QV-R4 will capture that subtle moment. Focusing can be set to automatic for ease of use, manual for more precise control, and infinity or macro for more specific needs.

Storage and Transfer
Images are stored on 11 MB of internal memory, which stores about 23 images with settings at normal resolution. If you want more memory, the expansion slot is compatible with any MMC or SD memory card. You can quickly and easily transfer your files onto a PC or Mac using the USB port for computer editing and sharing with friends and family.

Movie Mode
In addition to taking still photos, the QV-R4 can also record movie clips of up to 30 seconds at a resolution of 320 by 240 pixels.

More Features
Many of the QV-R4's settings can be modified for photographers in need of more creative control, such as exposure, white balance, and flash. There are also several different shooting modes, including interval, continuous, and night scene. With the "best shot" mode you select a stored photo that looks similar to the photo you want to take and the camera automatically sets up to achieve that look. You can easily keep track of all these modes using the large 1.6-inch color LCD screen.

Power, Size, and Contents
The QV-R4 comes with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, which has an approximate battery life of 100 minutes. The camera itself measures a compact 3.5 by 2.3 by 1.2 inches and weighs 7 ounces without the battery. Other standard accessories are a camera strap, battery recharger, CD-ROM with imaging software, and USB cable.

Simple, Great Quality.......2004-06-20

Love this camera. Just point and shoot. No need to reread the manual if you don't use it for months. It has so many other capabilities that I forget to use that would make my pictures even better, but however you use it the photos come out great. The preprogrammed settings for different environments really, really works. The LCD display is amazingly clear. The battery door is a little fragile -- broke it and had to replace it, but other than that, this thing is rock-solid quality. For the other reviewer who lost the charger, they are available at www.pacparts.com

Great camera for the money.......2004-01-29

I recently purchased this new 4mp camera from Casio. The historigram is great and the overall use of the equipment is easy to use. The pictures are high quality and given the internal "auto" settings, found it to be wonderfully simple and ready to shoot. It powers up quickly and is small enough to fit in your coat pocket. The only flaw is the movie mode, sound is not a component of this camera? I wish it was so everyone could see and hear my three angels on any email I wish to send. Thanks to Casio for meeting my digital needs, I will be a return customer for sure!!!!!!

PhotoLover from AL.......2003-03-26

I have used this camera for couple of months now and I am quite pleased with it, though I am dissapointed that you can not buy the charger from the manifacturer separetly. I have lost the charger and I can not charge the battery. I have to carry an external battery unit to use the camera which really dissapoints me. I do not understand why the manifacturer does not supply the charger for the unique battery that the camera comes with?????

Great User Interface but Movie Mode is Lacking.......2003-03-06

I just picked this camera up and snapped a few photos. The user interface is wonderful: as long as you don't want to do manual focus or other manual functions, you won't even have to read a manual to figure out how to use features like "Best Shot" modes or using the special effects like "sepia". The UI is the best I've ever seen in a digital camera though I have really only used a Canon camera for more than a few minutes.

While the photos look great when imported into my Mac, the extra resolution above 1600x1200 doesn't seem to make that much of a difference (even as I zoom in to different areas). I'm going on a trip tomorrow so I'll have a chance to vary the resolution and see if it really matters. If you just want your first digitial camera, 1600x1200 resolution may be good enough for you and you'll save some money. One thing that I noticed and liked was that this camera seems to take pictures pretty quickly (less lag) as compared with other cameras I've used.

Now for some flaws. The movie mode is horrible when compared to my brother's Canon Powershot (roughly the same size and his model was cheaper than this one). For one, the Canon had sound but you don't get sound with this camera. You may argue that if you want to make movies, buy a DV camera but my brother has sent me some cool little emails of my niece and the movie mode really is a good plus. Second, the movie mode picture was much grainier than with my brother's Canon. I probably won't use the movie mode on this camera but I probably would have if it was better.

In summary: great pictures so far (even though it is a cloudy day), great size, best UI I've seen, but the awful movie mode prevents me from giving this camera 5 stars (though I guess 4.5 stars would be closer to my opnion).

AMAZED!.......2003-01-16

I was totally amazed by all the functions that this camera can perform. It has options that my more expensive cameras don't have. The main reason I bought this camera is to have a light weight digicam to carry in my purse at all times. I was missing too many opportunities. I have taken dozens of test shots and have not been disappointed. The color of creeks, in this part of Texas, is brown from the tannic acid, I merely use the built in blue filter and I have wonderful water! All the grass is dead and the pines have brown needles with a little green, I use the built in green filter and it looks like summer. The clarity is good right out of the camera and the images need little or no post production work. It surprised me that the battery life is so good since I thought that with a pack that small, I would run out in no time, but it's excellent. I can't say enough good things about this camera. I like it much better than my G2. The ability to regulate the flash is great, since I would tend to blow macro shots right out of the scene. The option to reduce the flash output is extremely valuable to me. The camera is unbelievably easy to use and I started shooting before having had time to read the manual and had no difficulty. I'm in the process of reading it now and it is also excellent, easy to understand and to the point. The camera is also fast, which is a definite plus!

Product Description

With the Microline 590, the decision is entirely yours. This letter-quality printer anticipates and conforms to all your paper-handling needs. The difference is OKISMART Paper Handling, a unique patented technology that allows the ML590 to "read and learn" the paper you feed it, then set the head gap to the optimum distance for best print quality. It also means less time to load and reload paper stock, and can lead to longer printer life. The ML590 delivers perfect output on letterheads, card stock, forms with up to 5 parts, and labels. And, unlike ordinary printers, the ML590 takes on envelopes like any other paper media. Just feed them into the printer and they emerge flawlessly printed, with no jams or smears. A patented sensor built into the ML590 printhead calculates the precise time and impact needed to print each dot, virtually eliminating uneven printing. The shape of each dot is more consistent, producing smooth, characters and stunning graphics. There are no gaps, no smears or light spots, regardless of paper type used. You get the professional look you want for every application, the printhead lasts longer, and the printer works quieter and uses less power.The ML590/n comes with an OkiLAN 6120e 10/100 Base-T internal print server pre-installed and ready to perform.

Amazon.com Product Description

The Toshiba TW56X81 56-Inch Wide HDTV-Ready Projection Television combines new technologies in audio and video to bring the look and feel of professional theaters into your living room. See movies at their wide-screen original best. The Toshiba TW56X81 is desgined for letterboxed DVDs, VHS tapes, and satellite broadcasts, eliminating the black bars that appear on the top and bottom of the screen.

The Toshiba TW56X81's PowerFocus HD utilizes six elements, advanced lens design, and color correction to produce an image that is 65 percent more powerful (sharper) than a standard lens system. This new system enables this model to take advantage of the crystal-clear HDTV signals by producing 1,600 lines of horizontal resolution for the ultimate home theater. In addition to the PowerFocus feature, this model has a TheaterBright screen, which is tinted for increased contrast and uses a surface layer diffuser. The result is a high-resolution, high-brightness screen with a wide 160-degree viewing angle for use in any room. A digital comb filter converts the analog signal into a digital signal for more accurate processing, virtually eliminating dot crawl or cross color interference for a superior picture. Dynamic quadruple focus ensures that even the edges and corners also have a precise beam spot for a sharp, uniform picture from corner to corner.

Audio enhancements include surround sound as well as a multichannel television sound decoder, which enables the television to accept and decode broadcast stereo. Unlike some systems, which delete dbx, MTS provides the full quality of the original stereo broadcast. Secondary Audio Program (SAP) enables the reception of bilingual broadcasts, when available. Also featured is a sub-bass system (SBS) that creates a bass boost at and around the 100-cycle audio frequency area. This creates a noticeable increase in bottom end and overall fullness for an improved home theater sound.

It also includes an intelligent universal remote, which is preprogrammed to operate the TV as well as most brands of VCRs and cable boxes. Virtually all TV functions can be easily accessed using only your thumb and the four cursor buttons. The Toshiba TW56X81 also offers dual built-in tuners, allowing picture-in-picture capability without the use of a VCR. In single-box mode, you can change the size of the subpicture, move it to different locations on the screen, or freeze it. Other options include six- and nine-box modes.

The world's best tv?.......2000-05-30

...The color rendering is perfect; the widescreen display is awesome. It is the input (cable channels or even dvd) that is lacking, not this set. it is also in a fairly compact package for a large rear projection. Everyone is awed by it.

Theater Experience.......2000-05-11

If you're looking for a reasonably priced, next generation HD TV (Ready), Toshiba's Widescreen cannot be beat. No need to go straight to HDTV, since we are a few years away from complete broadcasts in HDTV, it is nice to know that with the addition of a simple box (which will come down in price over the next few years, so why pay high prices today).

My recommendation, if you do not have a DVD player...Stop reading this and go buy one now. It is the best compliment to this TV, followed by surround sound.

Good Luck

Product Description

The Minuteman MCP-E series is a line of true on-line uninterruptible power supplies. Its sophisticated double-conversion online technology constantly converts incoming power from utility AC power into DC power to charge internal batteries and then back into clean AC power using built-in converters and inverters. So regardless of what happens to your incoming utility power, the MCP-E series continuously conditions AC current to its purest form as required by your sensitive electronics. Even if the incoming utility AC power falters, the UPS will simply convert DC power from the battery system into clean AC current without a break in power.The MCP-E series uses high-speed Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology with real-time sampling to create the cleanest sine wave output waveform available. With a maximum of 2 percent total harmonic distortion (THD) while still providing tight output voltage regulation of 1 percent it will keep your equipment operating at peak performance. The Power Factor Correction (PFC) technology used in the MCP-E models is designed to correct the power factor of input current. This correction prevents any decrease of power quality and loss of virtual power. PFC also keeps load-generated harmonics from being reflected back into the line source, thereby protecting other equipment in your environment from potential damage.

My Panasonic PT-51HX40 broke in just over 2 years.......2003-12-19

My Panasonic PT-51HX40 broke in just over 2 years. It is $500 to fix and the repairman says that the problem with the amplifiers and resisters on Panasonic TVs are common. Why no recall? Avoid big screen panasonics!!!!

TOTALLY INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2002-01-16

This Tv is incredible! I was having an extremely hard time trying to decide whether I should get HDTV ready or just buy it all in one. After debating and shopping for several hours, I had it narrowed down to 2 different tvs. I decided on the 51 inch rather than the 56 inch because the 56 would not fit into the bedroom. I have a pretty killer set up in my bedroom, after spending about an hour rehooking up everything, I turned on the tv and was truly amazed by the picture quality. As I was watching the Fast and the Furious on DVD I was like baffled I felt as if I was there! The component video cables deliver the sharpest picture I have seen! These cables put the S-Video to shame! I mean yah they run like 60 bucks for high quality monster component video cables but are highly reccomended with this tv. I totally give this tv a 5 stars. In short this tv is worth every penny! Im completely happy with the product! This makes my bachelor pad complete with the High Def in the bedroom!!! Thanks to this TV I am LIVING IT UP~!!!!

Konica Silky ink jet paper.......2002-11-18

I tried this paper by mistake!! I'm so glad I bought the wrong paper. This stuff is great. My photos are sharper, clearer and just look awesome. The slight texture gives photos a true portrait quality. It's slightly more expensive than what I usually buy, but well worth the cost for the results. Try it!
