Solid camera, very versatile.......2007-09-20

I've had this camera for over a year, have taken thousands of pictures, and am completely happy with it and recommend it (or its newer siblings) highly.

Prior to the Lumix FX01, I'd owned several Canon pocket-sized digital cameras (S100 and SD400), and considered myself a die-hard fan of Canon's quality and interface, but when I broke my SD400 (my fault, not Canon's) and needed a replacement, I was drawn to the Panasonic/Lumix instead. Thinking back to the SD400 and the photos I'd taken, 2 problems stood out: a lot of the pictures I took were blurry, and often I couldn't fit everything I wanted to in the frame.

For the blurriness problem, usually the photos would look good on the camera's built-in screen, but when viewed at their full size on a computer or printed, the blurriness would be apparent. The obvious solution: optical image stabilization. It's just really hard to hold something as small and light as these cameras perfectly still, so OIS is a big help.

For the fit-in-frame problem, sometimes moving farther away is just not an option, and 35mm equivalent starts you off too close. The obvious solution: a wider lens. Unfortunately, that was very rare in pocket cameras... until the FX01.

I chose the FX01 because at the time of its introduction, it was the only pocket digital camera whatsoever to combine a wider-than-35mm-equivalent lens and optical image stabilization. This was enough to make me take a chance on a new brand, not knowing how well the controls and interface would perform in actual use. Over the next year, it's turned out great -- there are somethings I've preferred about Canons and some things I've preferred about this, but this camera has taken consistently good (and not blurry!) pictures.

One more thing I only learned after the purchase: the build quality (construction and materials) of this camera is amazing. I don't use a carrying case for my pocket cameras, since then it can't fit in my pocket! Instead, I just keep the camera naked in a pocket with no keys or other metal objects, or keep it in a $5 soft sunglasses sack. After a year of this treatment, the SD400 still worked fine but had a bunch of minor scratches and a few missing screws. After over a year of this treatment, in comparison, the FX01 still looks brand new. It bears repeating: it's amazing.

The image quality isn't quite perfect (one common complaint is noisy images under low light conditions), but given the tradeoffs necessary to make something this small with all the other features and abilities you want, I'm completely satisfied.

Since the FX01 pioneered the OIS+wide lens combination, other pocket cameras (Canon's SD800) do it too; a friend has the SD800 and it's great too. You won't go wrong with either one, in my opinion.

Fantastic!.......2007-09-17

I've had this camera for about seven months. It's wonderful! The controls are easy to use, the pictures are very clear, and the motion picture is great. I would recommend this camera to anyone.

I love this little camera.......2007-08-26

I have had many digital cameras over the years, and today have 4 that work. I use this the most just because it is so small and easy to carry. Panasonic is going to release a 12 mp model soon which I might buy.

Stay Away from the Beach.......2007-07-23

If you buy this camera, do not use it anywhere near the beach. I bought one as a present for my daughter going overseas and it broke within a few weeks. I sent it in for warranty service and was told that the warranty was voided because the camera had sand in it. They offered to sell me a new one at a price higher than Amazon charged me. Apparently, others have had problems with sand blowing into the camera - it must not be sealed very well. Customer service was rude and not at all helpful. I would stay away from Panasonic entirely. I will certainly not buy from them again.

Best camera I've ever owned!.......2007-06-30

And I've owned a Canon and Sony. But this stylish, compact Panasonic beats them hands down! Lightweight yet made of quality materials, I often just sling it around my wrist with the complimentary wristband and walk around taking pictures all day.

Pictures are sharp and focused, no matter what light I took them in. It has such a variety of settings for all sorts of occasions that I take quality photos at EVERY setting. The stabilizing feature works PERFECTLY. I thought a friend had ruined a photo by moving the camera the second after he pressed the shutter, but the picture came out crystal clear!

I was very impressed that Amazon shipped me a new product that was MADE IN JAPAN -- and you know that Japan makes quality electronic products. It was a very professional and comprehensive package, I just LOVE this camera!

Product Description

The LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT lens on the DMC-FX01 employs an extra high refractive index aspherical lens that makes it possible to incorporate a wide 28mm zoom into its compact body. Spanning all the way from 28mm to 102mm (35mm equivalent), this lens lets you capture everything from sweeping landscapes to shots with deep rows of skyscrapers. Compared with conventional 35mm lens, the DMC-FX01's wide 28mm zoom lens makes it easier to capture an indoor group photo or architectures and sceneries with dynamic width and rich perspective. With its 2.5 inch diagonal size and 207,000 pixels, the high-resolution LCD monitor makes it easy to see text and small thumbnail images. The pixel mixed readout method performed by the CCD increases the brightness level of the live image on the LCD, which greatly facilitates shooting in low lighting. The world's first developed High Angle shooting function also provides easier viewing when you're holding the camera high to shoot over the heads of people in front of you. Thanks to the energy-saving Venus Engine Plus and a long-lasting battery, the slim DMC-FX01 lets you take shot after shot without running out of power. It takes up to 320 shots on a single battery charge. The DMC-FX01 starts up in just 1.6 seconds, has a release time lag as low as 0.005 seconds and can fire off up to 8 consecutive shots at 3 frames per second in Standard mode. It also has Unlimited Consecutive Shooting, so you can keep shooting until the SD Memory Card is full. Furthermore, the 1-point high-speed AF achieves outstanding focusing with speed and precision. Self Timer - 10 seconds, 2 seconds Image Sensor - 1/2.5 inch CCD Scene Mode - Portrait, Sports, Food, Scenery, Night Scenery, Night Portrait, Baby, Soft Skin, Fireworks, Party, Snow, Self-portrait Shutter Speed - 8 - 1/2,000 seconds Power Supply - Lithium-ion Battery Pack (3.7V, 1150 mAh) Battery Life - Up to 320 pictures (CIPA Standard)

Product Description

The DV-S15U DVD player has three component video outputs for clear color correct images and MP3 audio playback. This unit features a black finish.

Amazon.com Product Description

Sharp's full-featured DV-S15U was designed for true audio-visual delight, offering top-of-the-line component-video outputs for clear, color-correct images and MP3 audio playback for listening to custom music compilations for hours at a time. What's more, you can play MP3s from both CD-Rs/CD-RWs and DVD-Rs/DVD-RWs, which provide higher storage capacity than a single recordable CD.

Component-video outputs help minimize line scan and digital artifacts on compatible advanced televisions, while composite- and S-video outputs bring compatibility with nearly any television. In the audio realm, a single set of left/right analog-audio outputs channel audio to Dolby Pro Logic receivers and stereo televisions. Both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's coaxial digital-audio output for direct connection to a full-featured audio-video receiver.

Direct Search skips to any desired title, chapter, or track with the numeric button during playback or in stop mode, bypassing annoying previews and disc menus. Other playback options include zoom (2x or 4x), black-level adjustment, angle selection, display dimmer (great for darkening a room during a movie), resume (picks up where you left off after stopping a disc), and parental controls (to keep mature content away from kids). Supplied accessories include an instruction manual and a remote control.

Great camera.......2006-04-17

This camera has served us well over the years. I really enjoy the night mode.

Fantastic.......2006-04-17

We got this camera years ago and it has several features that take quality photos. Also very good at close-ups. The other reviewer who said it took grainy photos must have had a defected camera because ours works great! :)

Save your money and buy something else!.......2003-09-20

I bought this camera and it takes horrible pictures. They come out grainy. I have seen better pictures from a disposable camera than from this one!

Product Description

Polycom offers a complete line of accessories to compliment your award-winning ViewStation videoconferencing system. With top of the line accessories such as Sony Trinitron monitors and Canon document cameras, Polycom provides you with a total solution for all your videoconferencing needs. Sony Trinitron monitors are recommended for best performance with the ViewStation system. The vertically flat picture tube, Sony Trinitron technology and S-Video deliver the best picture quality.

Amazon.com Product Description

This 27-inch TV features Sony's acclaimed Trinitron picture tube, which is based on a cylindrical model containing a screen face that is flat from top to bottom. Because of this, vertical lines remain straight, and distortion is minimized. The Trinitron tube also significantly reduces glare by reflecting light toward the floor, rather than directly into the viewer's eyes where it can make the picture appear washed out.

A digital comb filter compares consecutive horizontal scanning lines within a video frame and makes adjustments that purify the image. The result is a picture that would otherwise appear blurry is made clear, with pure colors and fewer flecks of video noise. The comb filter also allows Trinitron televisions to deliver picture resolution equal to source material, such as Sony-brand DSS satellite systems and laser videodiscs.

Additional features include Matrix surround sound, CRT amplifier, Speed Surf, V-chip parental control, and Program Palette presets (Vivid, Standard, and Movie).

LIFETIME TELEVISION.......2007-01-07

I have this type of sony tv since i got out of college. Its been running great and has a great picture ever since. I paid $400.00 for it. The great part is that I got out of college in 1991, so thats like 16 years and still going strong. I highly reccomend it.

Avoid Sony TV's.......2002-09-03

For $380 you would expect something to last at least 10 years. But not with this make/model/brand. After 18 months, the picture went away. The trouble shooting portion of the manual even describes this problem and offers a few suggestions. This part of the manual is even repeated on Sony's 800 number. There is a problem with the high voltage relay in their televisions. You get a click sound when you turn it on. But that's as far as it goes. Sony must be aware of it since they describe it in detail in their manual. So if you have money} to throw a new television set for repairs, then this is your pick.

nice picture , poor interfaces.......2002-07-16

It's a nice TV , enough for daily use .
but only one RF-in and one Video-audio(L&R) in , that is too cheap . Everybody got a VCR , DVD , XBOX , Digital-TV , etc , ( not everybody ) , how to connect all the toys to this TV ?

Good Sony 27 inch Stereo Color TV.......2001-08-06

This is a good set from SONY. It has a Digital comb filter that increases picture resolution and reduces noticeable dot-crawl, which is visible on less expensive 27inch brands. It has Rear audio and composite video inputs as well as an S-video input for DVD, Laser Disc players and Super-VHS recorders for higher picture resolution. It also has XDS, which has become a standard feature of late on better TVs. XDS receives information that some broadcasters are sending with their signals. It also comes standard with Clock, Sleep Timer, Channel Jump and V-chip. It comes with Remote SONY RM-Y165. I just saw this set this weekend with a satellite signal and DVD demo. It looked very good.

Quality Slipping?.......2001-01-23

We recently purchased this tv, returned and exchanged it for another, and had to return the second set. There were two reasons for this. When started cold, both Sony's made a nasty groaning sound that literally could be heard across the house. According to the sales staff at the store, this is normal for Trinitrons. I have also seen this complaint on usenet boards.

The second tv was shipped with a piece of plastic lodged between the screen and the cabinet frame, causing the plastic frame to bend outwards. I managed to shove the piece out of the way and it fell somewhere into the chasis.

The tv does deliver a very good picture and sound. But, unless you are willing to live with a set that sounds like its going to blow up, I'd consider something else.

Customer Reviews:

If I had it to do over..........2004-08-09

It's a nice player for the price, but it has major issues. It won't play CD-R music CDs. It is very VERY sensitive to disc damage, the slightest little scuff will cause it to skip. After about six moths of use, the carousel tray (on mine) will no longer stay open, and will not rotate while open.

If I had it to do over, I'd never have purchased this unit. As soon as I can afford to replace it, this baby goes in the trash can.

a dog.......2003-08-14

Consumer Reports gave this DVD player a Best Buy in 2001. I learned to be wary. This machine is a piece of junk. Very slow operation, confusing control panel, plays DVD decently but don't try to play CDs- they will skip in spite of every attempt to clean the disk or laser. I wish I returned this when the problems first started on day one.

junk.......2002-10-04

did not work from day one. wouldn't program anything. could not
play cd's because of the skipping. these were brand new cd's.
they told me l could pack it up and ship it to new jersey---
what an inconvenience. you know that it wouldn't come back any
better.l called their corp. offices-- they could care less.
steer clear.

junk.......2002-06-05

don't waste your time and money buying this unit. the random feature is to be laughed at. it will work the first couple of times and then it will stick on one cd and not skip to the rest. it also won't play burnt cdrs.

Product Description

TDK Music CD-RW 74 discs (formerly known as CD-TWIN-RW) are rewritable media designed specifically for use in consumer audio CD-R/CD-RW recording decks. CD TWIN-RW discs allow users to overwrite audio data directly and repeatedly. TDK Music CD-RW discs record digital audio data in the standard compact disc 16-bit, 44.1 kHz format, for ultimate recording quality. TDK Music CD-RW discs utilize an exceptionally stable phase-change recording material to allow numerous rewrites and long archival life. Phase-change recording uses a laser to change the reflectivity of discrete areas on a disc surface. The recorded marks differ in their reflectivity from the unrecorded areas. These differences in reflectivity are read by a laser pickup as digital data. TDK Music CD-RW discs are engineered to the most exacting tolerances, for optimum reliability and durability. TDK Music CD-RW discs offer 74 minutes of digital audio recording time.

Good High Speed CD-RWs.......2002-10-20

Nothing much to say about them. They're high quality high speed rewritable discs that do what they are supposed to do. I've been using these kind of rewritable discs for a while now and I haven't had any problems with them what so ever even when I burn at higher than 10x. They come with cases too so you won't have to worry about scratching the CDs.
