4 out of 5 stars good camera.......2007-09-19

I've had this camera for well over a year, and I love it. It does take a while to recharge its flash and that has frustrated me at times. This can be helped, but not totally avoided, by always having freshly recharged batteries.

It does eat batteries quickly, but I find that as long as I recharge them enough, it's fine. It only takes two AA batteries and most rechargeable batteries come in sets of at least four, so I always have an extra two with me and switch them out if need be. Of course, if you're the kind of person who always forgets to/never charges their batteries, this is a bad choice for you.

It takes wonderful pictures. I've used it in pretty much any setting you can think of and it's been great. If you leave it someplace cold it'll take a bit to turn back on, but I imagine any other camera would have a similar problem.

Some other reviewers have said this isn't a hardy piece of machinery. Maybe I've just been lucky, but I've dropped the thing a number of times and it's still good as new. A little scratched, of course, but it works just as well as it did when it was new.

I pretty much recommend this to anyone, unless you have a problem with being patient about things. Yes, the flash can take a bit to recharge, so just anticipate that. Make sure your batteries are charged. That's all. =)

1 out of 5 stars Not a very good camera.......2007-06-02

I have had this camera since December of 2005.But i got i with the printer too.The printer is very good.But more can be said for the camera.For a few reasons The battery life is very poor.Like it can probley last you 30 mins at the most.And some times if you take a lot of pictures you can use them from the camera.And it will say photo can not be found.And sometimes whene you turn the camera on the screen will be off.And the screen is kind of bleek and dark and blurry too.And the video quality is horrible.And when you are taking a video with the camer the videos are very blurry and poor.And when you take a video you can look at the video on the camera but you CAN NOT HEAR THE SOUND.You have to have a computer to here the sound.And my grandpa has a canon and you can watch the video and hear the sound on the camera too!!!!!And in my opinon HP makes better computers then cameras. Thanks.

1 out of 5 stars camera has many flaws.......2007-05-07

I purchased this camera 1 year ago, and I was so disappointed in the performance. The battery life is terrible, I took it to our town's Christmas Parade, and all the pictures are grainy and really poor quality. I posted some so you can see, also when you take a picture you can not take a picture for another good ten seconds. I had a two foot away shot of the rapper Nelly, and the camera didn't take the shot, and I only caught a shot of his tattoo on his arm! Save your money and get a better camera, like the Canon A630 the same price and much better quality, the battery life is fantastic and the night shots are great too. The shutter speed is much better too. I now have my HP in the closet because when I tried to use it on Thanksgiving the zoom would no longer zoom, and the lense does not retract. The only way I can turn off the power is too take out the batteries! I never dropped it or mistreated my camera, it is just not a good quality camera.

5 out of 5 stars One of the better cameras.......2007-01-04

I've used several digital cameras in the past and this one is my favorite. It has the fewest number of confusing buttons (especially no awkward, symbol-laden dial around the on/off button) and most of the menus are pretty self explanatory. Its highly compact and very durable-- I took mine on a cross-country trip through the middle of the desert. And, of course, it has the best picture quality of all the cameras I've used. Admittedly, it is hard to get pictures in low light (the shutter has to remain open for a while to capture enough photons, resulting in a blurry picture if you hold it in your hands), but this camera does have a hole in the bottom for a screw-in tripod for stabilization.
Plus, its one of the cheaper brands out there. Best bet for my money.

2 out of 5 stars The camera with a glass chin!.......2006-11-29

While I agree with others that this camera takes some pretty nice pictures and is easy to use, I've had the same problems as many have noted here. For starters, the thing eats through batteries like there's no tomorrow. I was lucky to get 20 pictures before the batteries crapped out. My biggest problem, however came when my son was handing the camera over to me at the dinner table and it slipped out of his hand. The camera literally fell only 10-12 inches to the table, but that was enough to render this camera permanently inoperable. Be warned: if you are a little bit clumsy or have butter-fingers, think twice before buying this camera! Red-eye reduction is also a bit of a joke with this one.

        FastTrak100 offers RAID 0 striping, RAID 1 mirroring, and RAID 10 striping+mirroring supporting up to four off-the-shelf Ultra ATA/100 hard drives. For entry-level small servers or corporate desktop PCs where data is critical, FastTrak100 offers constant data redundant protection at prices less than single drive Ultra2 SCSI desktop storage. If a drive fails under RAID 1 or 10, FastTrak100 maintains the integrity of the data using the remaining good drive or drives. Users can even employ a "hot" spare drive for their server that immediately replaces the failed drive in a two-drive mirrored array. This allows FastTrak100 to rebuild data from the working drive to quickly restore data redundant operation without downtime.

        1 out of 5 stars Terrible Product.......2002-06-27

        First off you'll have to re-install windows. They provide no way to migrate your data into your drive array. Second their drivers crash, during things like degfrag! Their Bios has important features that are undocumented cryptic keyboard commands that can only be found on their website. Why don't they just incorporate these functions into their menu? I've never had a single piece of hardware waste so much time. Futhermore, when I learned what a POS this product was promise wouldn't give me a refund. I wanted to give it 0 stars, but it won't let me.

          5 out of 5 stars Great TV for the money!.......2002-02-08

          First I wanted HD, then flat screen, but the money was just not worth it for me. So after looking at 36" TVs, I found this 35" RCA. You can't notice the 1" difference and the TV has a grea picture, good AV inputs/outputs and for the price, you can't beat it.

          This is the 3rd RCA TV in my house (a 19", 26" and now 35") and I've never had a glitch. The remotes are great. Nice to look at and user friendly and the Guide+ is a free gift, great for those of us without Digital cable.

              Amazon.com Product Description

              A DVD/CD changer sure to please movie hounds and music aficionados alike, Panasonic's super-slim DVD-F86K 5-disc DVD player offers incredible format handling. It produces terrific images from standard DVD-Video discs, while also letting you play homemade DVD-R and DVD-RAM media (either yours or discs from your friends and family). On the music end, the player handles CD-R and CD-RW discs, including MP3 and WMA CDs, as well as high-resolution DVD-Audio (stereo mode only).

              You also get cutting-edge features like digital "multi" re-mastering, which infuses CD music playback with interpolated high-frequency harmonics that wouldn't otherwise be present, and HighMAT (High-Performance Media Access Technology), a technology developed by Panasonic and Microsoft to ensuring digital media compatibility between PCs and consumer electronics.

              The deck features a progressive-scan video processor that doubles the scan lines of an interlaced signal (from 480i to 480p) by scanning all 525 lines in 1/60 of a second for each pass. The higher-density video signal (designed for high-definition and HD-ready TVs) brings a film-like quality to DVD images. Composite- and S-video outputs accommodate most other televisions.

              A feature called 4:4:4 signal processing converts recorded luminance and color-difference signals from 8 to 10 bits and upsamples color signal data, all with the aim of rendering vivid colors, flat luminance signal response, and minimal picture noise. The Direct Navigator and playlist playback features let you access navigation menus and custom playlists on DVD-RAM discs recorded on Panasonic DVD recorders.

              DVD-Audio offers super high-fidelity (192 kHz/24-bit) sound. DVD-Audio discs provide incredible storage capacity and unique bonus materials not available on regular audio CDs. Most DVD-A discs offer both high-resolution surround-sound and high-res stereo (2-channel) programs; the DVD-F86K decodes only the stereo programs.

              To appreciate full DVD-Audio resolution, you'll need to listen through the player's analog rather than digital outputs. For enjoyment of Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II, and DTS 5.1-channel surround sound, feed the player's coaxial digital audio output to a compatible audio/video receiver

              The DVD-F86K also boasts features like MPEG digital noise reduction (mosquito/block/3D), depth enhancer, audio-only function (video circuit off), picture mode selection, slow and fast audio playback, and Dialogue Enhancer (which boosts the volume of the center channel during Dolby Digital 5.1-channel presentations).

              What's in the Box
              DVD player, remote control, remote batteries, a user's manual, and a stereo analog audio interconnect/composite-video cable.

                Very useful but does not have S.A.M.E technology that newer versions have. Difficult to find the right channel for your area unless an alert is being broadcast. The battery door on mine broke due to a fairly small plastic tab snapping off. User interface is not intuitive (setting channels and time is not easy without the user's manual).

                4 out of 5 stars Handy little device... but don't rely on good reception........2001-12-25

                In the year since I received the Oregon Scientific weather radio, its price has dropped dramatically, making it an even more attractive addition to an outdoorsperson's backpack or vehicle. As an avid hiker and camper, I bring along this weatherproof radio on weekend trips to receive weather information and alerts. While the reception has proven limited for some areas I visit, such as state parks not located in close proximity to a NOAA transmitting station, and national parks such as Big Bend -- too remote for me to have even bothered to bring the radio along, the reception within or near cities where most users will in practice find themselves using it, is perfect. The radio is also handy to have around the home, particularly if you don't have any other battery-operated weather alert radio at your disposal. When the power goes out and the weather starts turning nasty, it's extremely handy to turn the radio on Standby so it can alert you to weather watches and warnings in your area.

                For the money, I don't think you can go wrong with this little, durable device. The only defect I have noticed with my radio in the year that I've used it is the channel buttons occasionally get stuck and have to be pried out using a pen cap or other small instrument. Annoying, to be sure, but the radio continues to work as expected. Battery life with normal AA batteries is good, although I tend to leave my radio turned completely off unless I suspect weather is approaching or am heading off on a trip.
