ah.. to wait.........2007-02-23
Now, to be fair, i purchased this player less than a month ago on e-bay for $50 so i know i got my moneys worth compared to every other review here, because you cant buy a 20 gig laptop hard drive for $50 and therefore the fact that this brick plays mp3s and radio is well.. irrelivant in cost to me hehe. i am unsure of the firmware with this one, and the primary issue that anyone should have is the fact that the company is now long out of buisness and there is no access to any of the firmware updates (if anyone has the firmware .zip write me or something please!) otherwise, this machine is worth the price, it looks uncannily like an 80's walkman, and honestly feals like a walkman: cheep plastic over some heavy metal. this player packs a punch once you get used to its quirks, but heres the bottom line: no DRM issues thus far. it IS compatable 100% with windows media player, but installs live like a portable hard drive, it does "compile" the files once they are copyed over and this can take an incredably long time, but remember the primary advertised feature? that special little bit about being able to use a beat and rythem algorithm to generate playlists of similar songs? what, you think the machine was psychic?
despite the freezing issue (on bad mp3's which no one else mentions was their songs not their player...) there is the cutest little paperclip reset button on the bottom, and this machine has already sustained a heavy beatin on more than one occation (i am an overnight stocker, this thing has met alot of pallets) and keeps going. its ugly and clunky but i think the best possable word to describe the entempo rubato:
Industrial.
Ugly and Bad.......2006-01-18
The Good:
Loads of space for a comparably great price. Thorough menu.
The Bad:
IT IS SO UGLY. For some of you, this wont matter. But if you care AT ALL about aesthetic appeal, do not go the Entempo Rubato route. Every time someone sees me with it, they laugh and think I'm using a cassette player! I swear, this thing was a BRICK in a past life.
Also? The font on the screen is garbly-looking and difficult to read. The fact that the font is also extremely small doesn't help.
I thought it would be easy to use because it's a drag-and-drop type of thing when it comes to adding songs. WRONG. This thing is a PAIN IN THE BUTT to use, especially the first time. It does this awful "indexing" thing after you put songs on it that takes a ridiculous amount of time. Why does it do this? I don't understand. I've used cheaper piece-of-garbage MP3 players that never had to do this. I thought quickly getting the songs on was the WHOLE POINT of a hard drive type of MP3 player?
Also? It really SUCKS if you have good hearing and you use this MP3 player. Why? Because I listen to music on the lowest possible volume...anything higher than that hurts my ears. This is BAD when using the Rubato, however, because there's always this awful electronic sound in the background. It's harder to notice on louder songs, but on quiet or acappella songs it's so frustratingly bad I want to cry. Also, everytime I bump it into something...it makes this little beepy sound. Yeah, great.
Lastly? The buttons and "scroller" are disgusting. I'm only 12, and even *I* think I could design buttons better than that. How about a clickwheel? Or a scrollwheel? No...instead we get this horrible twitchy little slider button that you have to push far too hard than is convenient.
My final statement? Lots of memory for a cheap price. But that's no big deal, when something is this crappy and sinfully ugly. Seriously. It is SO ugly.
Not the best- you get what you pay for..........2005-09-22
Cons: Did not like the very, very small characters on the display. You have to squint to read the display. The radio has terrible reception. The forward button does not forward fast enough for Podcast forwarding. Does not allow you to bookmark a spot on a Podcast. The nylon case does not have a belt clip. The side buttons need to be pressed too hard to use.
Pros: I like the price and the capacity. But had to send back because of mainly the small character display...
A good, cheap solution for portable music........2005-09-21
I bought the Rubato for one reason and one reason alone: it was the cheapest 20GB MP3 player I've come across in my quest for portable music. Others writing reviews on here seem to expect to pay Geo Metro prices and receive Rolls Royce quality, and whether consumer electronics or cars, this is simply not the case.
The good:
* 20GB of capacity, not much bigger than an iPod, and much cheaper
* NO drivers or proprietary software to install (unless you really want to, it does come with MusicMatch and a few other programs)
* USB 2.0 makes for *fast* transfers. (Anybody complaining about transfer speeds when copying 20GB of music needs to go look at th average sustained transfer speed of a modern hard drive... it's about 5MB / sec... the drive is the bottleneck here, not the USB connection.)
* Aside from a bit of background noise (from the screen backlight, hdd spinning up), the sound quality is amazingly good, especially when played through a good-quality set of headphones (I'm using Sennheiser HD-497's).
The bad:
* Looks and feels cheap (what do you expect, you spent
< $200 on a 20GB MP3 player?)
* Player takes a while in "index" songs after transferring (this is the price you pay for not having to install software on your PC, the player does all of this instead of your fast computer)
* Background noise, more/less noticable depending on the medium that its being played through. Certain things (tape adapter in the car, cheap headphones) tend to bring this out more. The noise is almost unnoticable on my Sennheisers.
Conclusion:
All in all I feel this is a solid buy in the sub $200 range for those looking for capacity but without a lot of money to spend. I haven't had mine long enough to comment on long-term durability, and from initial impressions I don't think I'd want to drop it from more than about 6", but only time will tell. If cost and capacity are your main criteria and you don't expect your player to see much abuse, this is the player for you.
Basic Economy Player w/ a few extras.......2005-06-22
I purchased the Rubato Entempo about 2 weeks ago. I already
knew from looking at pics online that it was basically a bare-
bones "no frills" player. However, I wanted something simple anyways
. I've already waisted money on a Rio HP-310 and various Creative
mp3 players that eventually crapped out on me, so the Rubato
couldn't be much worse. The good points about the Rubato is
that has decent sound, easy navigation, and musicmagic mixer
- the latter of which gave me the impetus to get it. The drawbacks
are many! The LCD graphics are drab and basic. The play/forward/rewind/pause
touchpads are on the front making them awkward to get to. It's not
very attractive, gaps are too long between tracks, etc.
However, I'm pleased with what I got for the 200.00 bucks I shelled out.
If you're a very decernable consumer who wants everything but the kitchen
sink in your player, you've come to the wrong place. Check out the lastest
model from Cowon that looks like a good buy for the extra high price.
Average customer rating:
- Dew detector light is a big problem

- 4-inch color LCD
- Battery provides up to 2 hours of shooting
- Color viewfinder helps preserve battery life
ASIN: B00005YVTI |
Product Description
The Palmcorder PV-L552 camcorder is equipped with a lens capable of a 26: 1 optical zoom. This powerful feature acts like a telescope to produce extraordinary close-up shots, superior in clarity to those provided by digital zoom. You can also choose between four zoom speeds, so you can go from a wide angle to full telephoto zoom in 2 to 16 seconds. To save battery power during recording and playback, this camcorder features a color viewfinder that can be used instead of the LCD. Dual Digital Electronic Image Stabilization (D-EIS) feature compensates for unintentional hand and camcorder movement when recording. You can also use it in playback mode to help reduce jitter in previously recorded video.
Amazon.com Product Description
VHS-C technology has been a solid choice over the years for its unfussy nature--it can be easily hooked up to almost all televisions and VCRs and is an inexpensive option for those in need of video. The Panasonic PV-L552 also features a huge 4-inch color LCD, color viewfinder, 26x optical zoom, and a high-performance, two-hour battery.
Lens
There is an optical zoom magnification of 26x along with a 780x digital zoom, which works by electronically enhancing the optical image. There are four different zoom speeds for greater control, so you can zoom from full wide to full telephoto in 2 to 16 seconds. The digital image stabilization system keeps the picture steady and solid throughout zooms and camera shakes.
Inputs and Outputs
The standard RCA input/output and cable is included so you can hook the camcorder to a TV for convenient viewing or to a VCR for dubbing to regular VHS.
Customer Reviews:
Dew detector light is a big problem.......2004-05-28
We almost bought the PCV-L552 for its big view finder and 27x optical zoom, but after a lot of digging on obscure web sites, we found this older camera suffers from a dew detector light that goes off too easily, shutting down camera for hours. The PV-L424 just came out in 2004.
Buy this if u want a good price........2002-07-04
I think this camcorder is good only if u are after a really good LCD screen.It is pretty clear. It is a very cheap price.

Same issues..........2006-12-16
This monitor is absolutely beautiful cranked up to its highest resolution, with the super bright mode turned on, the picture is stunning, and the refresh rate makes it perfect for games. There is however, one drawback: It has to work to enjoy this. While I have not experienced the screen going black, it will from time to time flicker for a few moments, and the problem seems to be getting worse. I have two of these monitors set up in a dual monitor set up, the second one has worked perfectly during my 2 years of ownership, so I guess it's luck of the draw.
Nice Monitor.......2006-11-17
Well, in contrast to the unfortunate people who've posted here with legitimate-sounding complaints, I have had no problems at all with this monitor in the 3 years and 8 months I've owned it.
I'm curious if their graphics drivers may have been outdated?
I had problems with "screen failure" due to either comp running hot, or the graphics card being outdated... I discovered one of my fans had blown out when I replaced my graphics card. Since updating my graphics card and installing two new fans I've had no problems at all in that area.
Of course, in the case of the other people who had negative experiences it may be that manufacturing method or material integrity was lacking, or that NEC simply has/had poor quality control.
At any rate I've enjoyed brilliant his res imaging with little (if any) distortion, and I'm quite happy with it. I don't know why there's an apparent max res of 1024X768 listed here, as mine's currently set at 1268X1024 (I'd set it higher, but I'd rather not squint).
I'm growing to prefer space-saving LCD screens over bulky heavy CRTs, but have no qualms about the performance or image quality of the NEC FE991SB. Also - in black it's reasonably stylish.
Same problem as everyone else, but with a SUGGESTION!.......2006-06-16
I had the same problem as everyone else, and I shipped the monitor back to NEC. They shipped me another FE991SB so I wouldn't have to wait on the repairs, and it developed the SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. I took it to a TV and electronics repair shop, and the guy fixed it for about $60 and I haven't had a problem for two years now. It's well worth $60 to get this monitor repaired as compared to buying a whole new one.
Don't buy this.......2004-08-13
After 7 months of using this monitor, I got the same problem. The screen would turn black, with a white horizontal strip going across the center of the screen. Sometimes, it would work after I shook it a couple of times. But after a few days of doing that every 30 minutes, I decided to send it back. It costed $70 to send this heavy thing to NEC. They either repaired it, or gave me another one, so now it has no problem. Stay away from this product!!
Black Screen - Horizontal Line in the Middle.......2004-06-19
I have the same exact problem everybody else did!! I used it for a little over a year, it was awesome while it lasted... then I get that same problem. Black Screen , only a white horizontal line in the middle. Thats it. When you turn it on sometimes it works for like 90 seconds, and then goes bad again. It's way too much hassle to send it back, I'll just throw this in the trash and get a new one, from another brand of course.
Stay away from this product.

The best camera ever!!!!.......2006-01-14
This is the best camera EVER, but it would be better if it came with a USB cable, like it's supposed to.
Then it would be really AWESOME!!
Not Bad pictures.......2005-08-15
I received this camera as a gift. Let it sit there for a couple of months without looking at it. Finally decided to try taking pictures. The first pictures I took didn't turn out that great. It turns out theres settings where you can choose the quality of the picture. I am not sure why this is since most people I know would almost always prefer top quality pictures.
It takes pretty decent pictures and I plan to use it more now that I know it takes pretty good pictures. I just need to purchase an SD card to use so that I can take more pictures.
dont be fooled with the 4 MP.......2005-04-09
it has a 2MP sensor so actually you're buying some bad 2MP camera. Which is kinda worthless. I bought it, thinking it was 4MP, thinking I would have excellent shots with it! But when I tried it out, pictures were really bad!! And it doesnt have a flash so... 2M is like emailing quality so.. dont be fooled, it says 4 MP everywhere, i got fooled too, but when I looked closer (too late) i saw it only had a 2mp sensor, this is with most of those cheap models.
IT DOES HAVE AN EXCELLENT webcam functionality!! its a great webcam cause most webcams are only 1.3 MP. And it'll probably be a good mp3 listener too.
