Amazon.com Review

Ezonics has combined the worlds of PC video camera and digital still camera with their EZDual. Because it uses USB connections, installation proved simple, although installing the myriad software titles bundled with the camera took a while.

As a PC video camera, the EZDual worked well. Although the first time we video conferenced our frames-per-second rate stayed very low (less than 5 fps), in subsequent uses, the EZDual corrected this, and we had a much more useable 20+ fps. The EZDual worked flawlessly with Microsoft's NetMeeting, allowing us to see and chat with friends and family around the country.

As a still camera, the EZDual offers a lot of nice touches. It can hold up to 20 pictures in its memory at fairly high resolution. It also offers a screw port for mounting on a tripod, a 10-second delay to let you view your own pictures on the camera, and an automatic power-down to save battery life. At only 320,000 pixels, it's not as high quality as some of the other digital cameras on the market, but it gets the job done.

Using a USB connection, it was easy to unplug the camera and take it on the road without any hassles. Once we returned, we simply plugged the camera back in and downloaded our pictures. From there, we had the option of recording and sending video e-mails, video conferencing, and editing our still pictures into photo albums, thanks to the 10 included software titles.

Overall, we were impressed with the EZDual, although the cable connecting our PC's USB port to the camera was a bit short, and there was no monitor stand to hold it in place for videoconferencing (we found the EZDual slipped off the top of a curved monitor). But for the price, the EZDual gives you some good features--if not the best--of both PC video and digital still cameras. --J. Curtis

Pros:

Easy installation
Very portable
Still and digital camera options

Cons:

Short cable
Didn't see 30 fps when used as video camera
Camera slides off top of curved monitors

Pretty cool.......2003-05-19

Inexpensive dual-function camera. Pretty cool when you don't need fancy digital cameras. Doesn't look too stylish, but in person it looks better.

bad service from ezonics.......2002-04-03

I have a new ezonics camera and i cant get it to work with my new computer. I think the problem is with windows xp and the service from ezonics has been very poor to get the problem resolved.

Don't waste your time or money!.......2001-06-16

I first saw a demonstration of this camera on a home-shopping channel. The video image that was shown on the camera was pretty clear and the photo was pretty good as well. I read the reviews on this sight and saw that feelings were mixed on the quality of this camera. I decided to give it a chance since I had seen a "live" demonstration of this camera's abilites and there were some reviews that looked promising. Big mistake! I realize that this is very inexpensive for a product that delivers both a still camera and live video but I feel that with this model "you get what you pay for." Not very much! The still pictures were out of focus and the color was not good at all. The video was extremely blurry and again, the color was bad. I had high hopes for getting a bargain and getting decent quality. No luck! I mainly wanted to use this to take photos of items for auction--this did not have anywhere near the quality that could be used for decent pictures. I bought a Sony Mavica instead. It costs a lot more, but boy do the pictures look clear!

After using for a month........2001-04-21

Using for a month has shown many good qualities and a few bad ones. First the bad ones. The rate is slower than it shows. When larger resolution is used movement along with voice are slower ,and lag behind. The still pics are good. As with all cameras in this price range, When enlarged, quality suffers. But the overall quality looks good to me. If it were in a price range of several hundred dollars it would be disturbing. The overall quality performance are very acceptable to me.The software programs that come with it are to say the least, most satisfactory. I have used a logitech video camera with it's programs, and all functions perfectly. As neither are the "Top of the line" cameras. I would recommend this camera to all who would like a useful and handy camera. For the price,it will be very hard to find another with it's features and software.To be able to use as a VIDEO WEB CAMERA,and also a DETACHABLE STILL CAMERA, ALL IN ONE, is a very hard offer to refuse.

Not what I expected at all!!!.......2001-03-22

I thought the Ezonics EZDual Cam was going to be a great product, but it was not what I expected. The installing of the drivers and software was pretty easy. The software it brought for editing pictures is not very user-friendly and doesn't run very smoothly. I was not happy with the quality of the photos it took nor the quality of the video. The video had a huge delay, you could look at the camera and back at your monitor and you would still be looking at yourself. Plus, every movement is blurred. Forget about moving around!!! As for using it as a camera, not good at all. Again,, blurred!! Whatever you are taking a picture of better be super still and you better put the camera on a tripod because any little movement and the picture comes out blurred. I mainly wanted the camera to take pictures to email to my family, but as bad as the pictures come out, its best to use a regular camera and just scan them.. Very cheap quality!!

NOT UP TO DATE WITH TECHNOLOGY!!.......2001-02-26

The Product deserves 4 stars as long as you don't upgrade to Windows 2000. I bought this camera for my wife one year ago and at the time it was a pleasant surprise to see how well it worked. About six months after we bought it our computer crashed and we lost everything - not too bad because it gave us the incentive to upgrade to Windows ME... that was a mistake because this great product is not compatible with anything past Windows 95/98. $400 dollars later we have a great camera which we can't use. We called Panasonic to inquire about an upgrade on the camera driver so that we could continue to enjoy the camera and they said "that product is old and we are not working on upgrading the driver because we are working on a newer version of the camera." Well, needles to say, we are very upset at their reaction. The camera was sold to us in December 1999 and by December 2000 it became a useless object. If you are planning to upgrade your computer - DO NOT PURCHASE THIS ITEM!!

Great Product!.......2000-12-28

Think this camera is great. Resolution is excellent for the pixel. Image editing software is a bit laborious (I use my own after transferring photos to my PC)...but everything else is great. You can take 4 second "motion clips" which is great for capturing say a "touchdown" "pass" or "kick off" on film.

careful guys, things can happen.......2000-04-30

I am going to share about the model TS3258C 32" Picture is good, sound is good. Auto clock does not work since day one (always sets a wrong time). After I set up a clock in the manual mode then a few hours later TV changed the clock by itself. It can do it randomly without any power glitches. Never've seen such a problem before. Captions also are scrambled sometimes. Remote is small and unconvenient.

Pleased with choice.......2000-03-24

Haven't bought a TV in many years and was very happy with this method, especially personal reviews (and also researched Consumer Reports, which had a favorable rating). Delivery took about 15 days, but was satisfied with service (set up, test, removal of shipping material). Missed free shipping by a few days! Excellent picture; very good for standard cable, sound is great and even better when routed through stereo system. Controls are simple. Highly recommended.

Good for the money but average overall.......2000-02-15

I actually bought the 3284 model which has the 3259's tube with a few extra whistles and bells. The picture quality is decent and the sound is satisfactory but I completely agree with the reviewer who experienced problems with vertical white and black bars continuously appearing when using a video input source including DVD players. It's rather annoying but can be eliminated by reducing the contrast, but you lost picture quality in so-doing. This is very frustrating but overall, I'm satisfied with the purchase considering the price. I actually don't have cable or satellite )= but this TV picks up local stations rather well (much better than my previous top of the line JVC 27090 27" TV). Anyway, it's a good TV for the budget-minded but it's no Sony and despite Philips' boastings, it is NOT a flat screen TV. If you want a decent (nothing more) 32 inch picture for a modest price- it's a good buy.

Not good when using video sources.......2000-02-10

The picture is fine when using the cable jack, but when watching a DVD or VHS hooked up through the video in jacks, there are white vertical bars on the screen. They are very noticeable when the background is dark and especially when watching a wide screen DVD with the black areas on top and bottom. I took mine back and was going to try another of the same model, but even the demo in the store I was in did the same thing. I eventually bought a different brand because of this.

Great Value.......2000-01-15

For the money, I don't think that you can get a much better tv. The sound is awesome! The picture is not the greatest, but it is extremely good. I think my favorite two features about this tv are the nearly-flat screen - it really gives you a larger, crisper viewable surface, and the easy to use remote control. I had this thing installed and running within three minutes.

NEC MultiSync LCD2070NX 20" LCD Monitor.......2007-05-12

Great monitor, colors are even and the viewing angles are better than I expected. No back light bleeding, no ghosting, no dead or stuck pics. The swivel base and height adjusting stand make it very easy to setup for comfortable viewing. I just wish I had purchased a second one while it was on sale :)

The only thing that stopped me from giving it all 5 stars, is the powered USB hub. When you turn the monitor off, the hub shuts down as well. If you leave an MP3 player,iPOD, or a cell phone attached to charge, you must leave the monitor on. It's not a big issue, as the monitor will blank the screen and go into sleep/power saving mode automatically, with power still going to the hub. I was justed used to turning off my old monitor when I step away from the PC.

Given the price, 5 Stars.......2007-04-07

I am a professional photographer so I need a monitor that can be fully calibrated to the sRGB color space, the 2070NX gets as close as any monitor under $1K. While many LCD monitors at this price can be color corrected, very few can have corrected brightness levels. My white luminance is 118 cd/m2 and even more impressive is my blacks get down to .16 (most LCD's don't get dark enough, this one is very reasonable). The key to get this accuracy is to set up for viewing in dim conditions (most calibrations packages give several options for ambient lighting).
If you don't want to spend the money on a LaCie or other higher bit depth monitor but still need your images to match your prints I highly suggest this monitor...just don't forget to buy a monitor calibration hardware.

nice monitor.......2007-04-01

good value
accurate color
clean text
would buy again
very happy with purchase
there are better monitors out there but not in this price range.
