Prop 65 Warning is Disturbing.......2006-04-11

The CX-9 I just received has the warning:
"PROP. 65 WARNING:
Handling the coated electrical wires of this product exposes you to lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm.
Wash hands after use."

This is a bit disturbing.

Intermittent reception.......2006-03-02

I have not been impressed with the reception of this radio. As another reviewer stated, the antenna seems to be the wire of the earbuds. For me, this causes radio stations to have a rythmic swish of loud static as the cord swings while I run. I've tried putting the cord under my shirt, which stops the rhythm of the static, however, there is still a lot of static at times. It seems to be related to which cardinal direction I am facing and how the radio is oriented on my shorts. Last, the radio will sometimes just seem to lose a station... not matter how finely I turn the little dial, I simply can't get it to come in clearly. And for me, reception indoors is simply awful. All in all, it's highly annoying and I would gladly pay triple what this radio costs for one that could lock onto a station clearly.

Terrible reception.......2005-08-24

I had a terrible experience with this radio--the reception was so bad nothing came in on FM. The FM antenna is built into the headphone wires so you have to play with the position of the wires. Not worth it even if they gave it to me! I returned it to the store within hours.

Fantastic Price!.......2005-01-27

I just received my little radio yesterday and was very happy! It is small enough to wear during my workouts at the gym and the sound is pretty good. It has a neck strap which is convenient. The prices on some other portable audio is outrageous. This is a great deal for 8 dollars. I'll probably get them in other colors as well!

Pretty good radio.......2004-04-20

I've had my radio for about three years now and it's a pretty good value. The radio is quite light and is easy to carry while exercising. It comes with a belt clip or a special cord which allows you to hang the radio from your neck. Radio reception is pretty good on both AM and FM. Battery life is pretty good.
The included earphones are adequate, but you may find them to be a little uncomfortable for long periods of time as they are not "sculpted" to the shape of the ear. I personally use my own.
Overall, due to its light weight and good radio reception, this radio is highly recommended if you like to listen to the radio while exercising.

Don't buy this unless your favorite stations are strong ones.......2007-04-24

You get what you pay for, it's cheap in price and extremely cheap in quality. It only recieves the strongest stations. In a building the reception goes almost all static unless your next to a window. I finally got rid of mine and bought a pricier pocket radio with better reception.

Average radio.......2006-04-15

This is a small, lightweight radio. It's quite stylish, "cute" and available in eyecatching colours. It's definitely cheap. However, radio reception is poor, batteries are not included, the neck lanyard is annoying and construction is as cheap as the price. I cannot fault this product: it's a reasonable analogue radio. However, it is completely useless since it neither receives the channels I want to listen to, nor does it tune easily to other channels, nor does it hold those once it does. In short, I have to buy another radio with a digital tuner, perhaps one that prevents drift and certainly one with a better antenna.

My grandmother bought me this item (in color black) for Christmas and I am listening to it right now. I have tuned it to a radio station here in Oregon where I am on vacation visiting all of my family and they are playing various piano music. Thank you! It is small and the neck strap is handy for riding buses. The strap is conveniently not a band (Width bigger than depth) so it does not cut into/scar your neck. My previous ipod's strap created a red mark unless I wore high-collared shirts.

Product Description

The bi-directional wavelength division multiplexing (BWDM) interface carries two distinct channels in different directions on a single strand of fiber.The BWDM interface converts electrical signals to wavelengths on a single strand of fiber, and provides a manageable, cost effective solution to achieve distances up to 20km. At one end of the connection one wavelength is used to transmit (e.g., 1310nm or 1550nm), and another wavelength is used to receive (e.g., 1310nm or1550nm).Bi-directional fiber connectivity improves network scalability and serviceability and is ideal for both MAN and LAN applications where additional users must be supported on existing fiber connections. BWDM eliminates the need to install a second fiber and effectively doubles the fiber capacity on existing fiber cables. This provides a 100% improvement in fiber utilization since only a single fiber strand is required. Thus, fiber costs, installations costs, and maintenance costs all reduce the overall cost of ownership.

Excellent all-Around.......2002-10-17

I have owned this palmcorder for over a year and have never had any problems of ANY sort! I have used it to film 4th of July celebrations (excellent sound by the way....you could still hear and understand people talking even with the fireworks we were lighting!)....Christmas parties...Honeymoon in Hawaii on a catamaran (you could actually see the dolphins under the water with this camera!).
The only drawback is that it does NOT have a light. However, as long as there is light on in the room it works great! The only time I had a problem with lighting was trying to use it at midnight in a minivan w/o turning on any interior lights (well-DUH!). However, even in the van you could still clearly understand what people were saying...EVEN above the engine noise! I have also used it to film a stage play and again...I had none of the problems other people have mentioned with the light glarring and blurring.
Overall I must give this camera an A+++!! I've never gotten tired holding it while I filmed...the adapter has been a life-saver so we can watch the party immediately on the VCR...plus I love the option of A/C or D/C power!
I love this camera and think it's a SUPER deal for the price! Unbeatable!!!

Quality Assurance-type Evaluation.......2002-01-24

After carefully analyzing the two prior reviews, it appears there is conflicting history. My previous experience with Panasonic products is most positive. We have a decided problem with sounds in that I am deafened by damage to the acoustic nerve. This would be a factor since there is little or no sound discrmination. Do believe we will purchase one of these units for home and business (Insurance Claims) use. bk

cool to the neat max palmcoder:).......2001-12-21

hey i like it i like the tv thing im able to keep track of any thing in motion like a fressbee or my friend thrwing a stick in the trees and and if its too bright and sunny out side i found out by emermenting with the palmcoder to close the tv thing and look thru the black and white eye scop thing :) it does not have a buil in light so when i recorded our churches christmas cantanda when the churches lights are on no problem :) but when the very brigh stage spot lights we our curch borrwed and the main lights our out or dimmmed the people in the bright spot lights look like glowing light bulbs but as the spot lights go dimm you are able to see the people faces the back light i cant see how it works hardley but hey as long as it records perfect and good quilety sound that's fine :) (...) i do not see any thing wrong wih the sound it sound clear to me (...)

Poor Sound Quality.......2001-11-08

We purchased this unit to replace our old (about 10 years) VHS camera - also a Panasonic - which operated well for many years. We wanted something inexpensive, and simple to use; without all the "bells and whistles", and with the convenience of simple popping the tape (via the adapter) into our VCR player. Operation is relatively simple, and the picture quality is okay (not great, but what you would expect for a camera at this cost). However, the built-in microphone produces much worst than would be expected quality during playback - worst than our 10 year old camera. In fact, it is so poor, that we probably will not keep this camera.

Product Description

Lexar's patented USB Enabled CompactFlash cards allow digital photographers to quickly capture high-resolution images and easily transfer them to a PC or Mac computer via the Universal Serial Bus (USB) port. Compatible with any CompactFlash device, Lexar's USB Enabled CompactFlash cards are specifically designed for use with the Lexar JumpShot USB cable, which provides a high-speed, easy-to-use connection to your PC or Mac system. Lexar's USB-enabled CompactFlash digital film cards feature 4X and 8X speed (600KB/sec and 1.2 MB/sec respectively) and are up to three times faster than the generic digital film currently available. This is important since the latest, high-resolution digital cameras can generate huge, multi-megabyte image files that can significantly slow write performance. A shooting delay occurs when the photographer must wait for the camera to write these large image files before it is ready to take the next shot. Faster performance reduces the wait-time and minimizes the chances of missing the opportunity for a live action or spontaneous shot.

Customer Reviews:

It's fast!!!!.......2001-02-07

I bought this CF card to replace my SanDisk 64MB CF card. I had heard about Lexar's reputation as making one of the fastest CF cards out there and thought I'd try it despite the price premium. Some digital camera users have said that the digital camera can only take advantage of Lexar's USB capability if it knows about it (i.e. it was programmed into the firmware/hardware to support the speed optimization). I received the card and proceeded to compare my SanDisk 64MB card with the Lexar one.

To do the informal test, I snapped an uncompressed TIF at 1600x1280 using my Nikon Coolpix 950 (a camera that supposedly is *not* optimized for Lexar media). With the SanDisk card, it took approx 45 seconds between snapping the shot and being able to use the camera again (it's loading to the media). With the Lexar card, it was reduced to 25 seconds!!! THAT'S FAST! ...and for an unoptimized camera as well.

I currently use the card either in the camera, my Compaq iPaq PDA, or in a PCMCIA slot via an adapter. I haven't used the JumpShot cable yet as I only have Win95 or WinNT installed. That will changed in a few weeks when I migrate to Win2000, but I'm sure I won't be disappointed.

As another test, I copied 60MB of mp3s from my laptop to the SanDisk and the same 60MB of data to the Lexar. The Lexar was by far much faster.

Great Compactflash card.......2001-01-22

I bought a 128mb card and am very happy with it. It's very nice and fast. It does cost more than some on the open market, but that's ok. It has a 5 year warranty, which isn't as long as I would like, but it's been my experience that in electronics if you are going to have a failure in workmanship you will usually find out about it early on. 5 years is acceptable.

As far as speed of the card I find it quite acceptable also. I have seen speed test of other cards and the usb enabled cards are much faster with my camera (nikon 990) if your camera doesn't support usb enabled code. Then I wouldn't bother spending the extra money that it costs. But at the time I bought my card I got it with a rebate and it was just a bit more than the others on the market.

As for the jumpshot cable, it will only work with compact flash cards that are usb enabled. I don't know of any other cards besides Lexar that have this yet.

Fast, portable memory card.......2000-12-17

The Lexar 128MB USB-enabled compact flash card is really great for my 3 mega-pixel camera. Its capacity is relatively large, and it is faster by far than the earlier cards I had. Further, the Jumpshot reader is so compact that it is easy to carry around in the camera bag, and then it's a quick moment to download the pictures to any USB-equipped computer. It is a little pricey, and it's true that most cards don't work with the Jumpshot cable because they are not USB-enabled--but for me it's a great product that I use almost every day.

there is a mistake, because the image shows a Ring from screw to knife cameras;the code is B00021ETDO
that's because I bought the ring;
if you look the image, you can see a knife mount design (for knife cameras);
if you look the code B00021ET7K, you can see the same image, a ring for use screw lenses with knife bodies; that is what I was needing;
I will buy the item with the correct code; would be nice to review the images
