Amazon.com Product Description

A multitasking digital camcorder, the Sharp VL-NZ105U features a large 3-inch LCD monitor, 10x optical and 300x digital zoom, and digital image stabilization. You can also shoot digital still images, save them on the included 8 MB memory card, and then transfer them to your PC.

Lens
With an optical zoom magnification of 10x, the VL-NZ105U also has a digital zoom--which works by electronically enhancing the optical image--that can magnify the picture up to 300 times. The digital image stabilization system keeps the picture steady and solid throughout zooms and camera shakes.

Other Features
With its 270-degree variable angle, you can hold the VL-NZ105U in a variety of angles to record over people and objects or for shots close to the ground. You can even record yourself by rotating the view screen 180 degrees.

The built-in speaker allows on-the-spot playback with sound for checking and viewing video footage anywhere. An on-screen recording guide helps you line up landscape footage and can be used as a guide for easy framing of subject matter. The backlight compensation feature corrects exposure in poor lighting conditions.

The VL-NZ105U also features several digital effects (black and white, sepia, NEG) that can be viewed without affecting the original recording.

Digital Stills
The VL-NZ105U can also operate as a digital still camera. Full-motion video is recorded onto a DVC tape while digital stills are stored on the included 8 MB Secure Digital (SD) memory card for easy transfer to a PC.

Inputs and Outputs
The VL-NZ105U comes with the standard DV IEEE 1394 port (also known as FireWire; Sharp refers to this connection as iLink) for a super-fast, lossless connection to a PC or other DV machines.

MiniDV Format
MiniDV digital technology delivers clear, sharp video with over 500 lines of horizontal resolution--far superior to the 240 lines of resolution offered by 8mm camcorders. You'll also get minimal color noise interference for a more stable picture.

The camera features excellent sound quality, recorded in either 12-bit or 16-bit audio recording modes.

16-bit audio includes one set of stereo audio tracks to produce CD-quality sound. 12-bit audio utilizes two sets of audio tracks so you can easily add background music or commentary into your videos while maintaining the existing soundtrack. This is all delivered on a cassette that's 1/12th the size of a standard VHS tape. A MiniDV tape offers a digital recording time of two full hours--20 times the capacity of a CD.

Contents
This package comes with the VL-NZ105U camcorder, one rechargeable lithium-ion battery, AC adapter, tripod adapter, remote control (and batteries), AV dubbing cables, wrist strap, lens cap, and 8 MB memory card.

Customer Reviews:

My First CamCorder purchase.......2003-11-19

This was my first actual purchase for a camcorder. I have experience with other units because of my job in computer technology. My main reason for buying this camcorder was the price. It had all of the features I needed as well. It has Firewire (IEEE 1394) to download the video to a PC, and it has USB to download the still shots to a PC. The quality is very nice. We took it on vacation to the Gulf of Mexico and were pleased with the convenient size and weight. I would definitely recommend this unit for someone to purchase. (By the way, at the time of our purchase, we received a $100 rebate from Sharp since it was purchased on Amazon.com but I don't believe that is currently available).

Works with iMovie.......2003-11-14

I love this little camera. And, after seaching all over for drivers for Mac OSX, I followed the advice of a previous review, bought the appropriate firewire cable, and iMovie recognized it immediately.

The picture and sound quality is exceptional for the price and it's small enough to throw in a pocketbook and carry around everywhere.

Great Camcorder!! I especially like a few key features!.......2003-11-04

Positives:
1. You can recharge this camcorder by plugging it directly into an electric outlet- no dealing with rechargable batteries :)
2. Can take still photographs & uses SD instead of putting the stills on the tape.
3. While in playback mode (watching video footage you took), you can pause it and take stills from the tape onto the SD card.
4. The camcorder lasts a long time & I do not have to recharge it often :)

Negatives:
1. The quality of the still photos is not great but it is good for emailing.

Overall I love this camcorder because of the 'Positives' I mentioned above- it has everything I need. I know that the stills are not great quality but for the price of this camcorder I can manage ;) This is a great deal!

It Works for Me!.......2003-10-02

I priced DV other cameras before purchasing this one. This camera was $100 - $300 less than most cameras I looked at. It doesn't have the bells and whistles that the some other cameras did, but then it does! The feature I love most about my camera is the fact that I can use it as a go between device to copy analog video from my TV and/or VCR to my computer and convert it to digital in the process. I was prepared to spend quite a bit to get a device that was capable of doing what I can now do with my Sharp camera and all I had to do was install firewire on my computer.
I agree, this is an excellent entry level DV camera.

Poor Tech Support.......2003-08-24

I purchased a older version of the Sharp DV camera. I had problems with interferance when transferring to the PC. I checked cables, etc. Finally, I emailed tech support. Never received a response. Better stick with Sony or Canon!

Cheap router/AP that works mostly well........2006-11-30

I have this router and it has worked fairly well for last three years. Works well with all sorts of wireless cards from uniden to broadcom based to atheros based. VPN, port forwarding works fine. Issues I have encountered so far:

1. DHCP timeout too low. Comcast network sometimes is overloaded and the DHCP server on their side takes a long time to respond. This router times out without getting an address. Usually couple of retries do the trick.
2. Every setting change requires a reboot.
3. Sometimes computers on LAN cannot talk to each other for no apparent reason. WAN access is fine. A reboot fixes this.
4. Never could get it to update the dyndns entry automatically on a reboot.
5. UPnP is iffy. Sometimes works and sometimes doesn't.

Finally upgrading to 802.11g as last of my laptops now is 802.11g.

Some serious issues, but overall works fairly well.......2004-06-13

There is an irreparable problem with file sharing between computers on the LAN and wireless clients (YEP!), and I haven't been able to get DMZ to work (but got around it by opening ports manually).

But for sharing internet, and wireless function -- no complaints.

Uniden desperately needs a firmware update.......2004-05-01

As stated before the router does split your internet connection. However, even if you do not upgrade your to 1.08 you still can network between wired and wireless computers.

This seriously limits the function of a router. Instead this device should have been labeled as an internet gateway.

Calling this device a router is a misnomer. Hopefully Uniden will address this issue.

Because this product does have potential. If this issue was fixed I would give it 5 stars if you can buy it for less than 30.00.

I think outpost had it for that price.

Sincerely

Only work for casual tasks, does not work on my VPN.......2004-01-22

For casual internet surfing users, this router may satisfy their needs without problem. However, for more serious users, this router has problems. First, do not upgrade the firmware to 1.08 that listed on Uniden web site. That particular firmware will block the communication between wired and wireless computers connected through that router. Second, I cannot make this router work with VPN of my company. I tried several other brands routers, they all work fine except for this one. If Uniden is able to fix those two problems then I will be more than happy to give it a four stars rating.

Mostly good.......2003-12-31

I ordered the WNR2004 AP/Router and 2 Uniden PCW100 USB Wireless Adapters from outpost.com.

WNR2004 - $39.99, before $20 mail-in Rebate
PCW100 - $9.99 each, before $10 mail-in Rebate
Overnight Shipping - $11.30

Total $71.30, before $40 mail-in Rebate. This brings total cost to $31.30 for an 802.11b wireless network capable of 2 wireless machines.

Setup was a breeze until I started playing with advanced configuration, then it got to be a bit of a headache.
Connect the AP to cable modem and power, connect USB adapter to PC, install Drivers, and it immediately connected with the AP upstairs in one corner of the house, and the USB adapter downstairs in the other corner. Excellent signal strength, and 11.0 Mbps speed.

Configuration is web-based, and when you apply changes, you are told changes were saved and asked if you wish to reboot the router now. This is where I started having problems. Most of the time, if I chose yes, it would disconnect, and the Adapter would no longer lock onto the AP until I went up and physically rebooted the router. Seems it wasn't properly rebooting when I chose yes.

I quickly figured out the trick to this - choose no to reboot, then go to admin options and tell it to reboot there.

128-Bit WEP setup, and disabling the router broadcasting its' presence was no problem, changing network name and channel likewise was no problem.

My only major complaint so far is that the MAC access control says it is for enabling/disabling certain MACs from having internet access, not network access in general. I would prefer being able to completely block all MAC addresses from accessing the network at all, and from connecting to the AP, rather than just blocking them from internet access. There may be a way to do so, and I just have not found it yet.

Overall, it's an excellent product at an extremely cheap price (where I bought it anyways), with only a few small flaws. Solid 4/5.

Pro DJ gives two-thumbs up.......2005-05-10

I have been playing on my STR8-100's now for two and 1/2 years...I love them. Key correction is good-it even works when using mp3s or cds. Variable pitch rate is great when trying to "screw" rap albums or when mixing that track that has an odd time (Bpm). High tourque platter is double of what you will find on Tech's MKII or MKIII (Go ahead, check the specs;). Drawbacks are turntable is sensitive to "bumping"-record will not skip but a thump is audible. Also, I seem to have developed a spring problem inside of my tone-arm base on my second deck; the tone arm does not rest properly on its stand anymore. This may be due to my extremely rugged use of the deck though, so do not be scared off. I would put this deck up against Numark TTX or Tech's SL1200MKII ANY day of the week.

Superrrrr!!!!!.......2004-10-14

Excellent turntable! For the guy who gave it one star (totally unreasonable) because of no catridge: Read the description - it clearly states cartridge not included. Most turntables do not come with a cartridge and when they are included, they are usually the lower end of the spectrum. This is a super product for the price, especially for home use. It is fully adjustable with regard to vertical tracking force, tone arm height, anti-skating, etc. Solid build quality and excellent sound. Highly resistant to resonance. It has a built in preamp if you don't have a phono input and it will also convert to digital output for connection to your computer or a CD recorder. Excellent product. Yes there are better and more expensive, but for the price and feature content, this is hard to beat. You can choose between the S tone arm or the straight tone arm as well. You can't go wrong with this deal.

No cover........2004-05-27

My turntable has no plastic cover that keeps it off the dust. I don't know where to buy it.

A great product at a very fair price.......2004-04-23

This deck has far more features than I will ever use.

The price was very fair, the build quality is really good ( with the one proviso mentioned later ) and it took less than ten minutes to hook up to an amplifier and start playing my old albums.

My only quibble is the manual lever which lifts ( and drops ) the tone arm - it's a small rather weak looking metal lever and doesn't seem to match up to the quality of the rest of the deck.

I would recommend this deck to anybody looking for a quality deck at a very reasonable price.

Amazing.......2004-04-22

Got this monster of a turn-table as a birthday present after my old Technics gave up the ghost a few years back. Be forewarned, it doesn't come with a needle so I ordered a Stanton 680HP cartridge/needle from a DJ web source (Amazon carries it for about the same price) and with in minutes of attaching it to the player I had burned 2 Kinks 10" LPs onto my computer. It was extremely simple, even for me, an individual who can barely tell a monitor apart from a TV. A RCA cable to the amp and then a stereo RCA to Mini 2 m. pair cable (Amazon or Radioshack has them) from the amp to the soundcard mic connection and Pow! all my old punk rock 7"s which I haven't listen to in years came back to life. Next to burn is the Miles Davis Mosaic 10 LP Plugged Nickel Sessions. Wow, what a beautiful moment. I'm using Musicmatch to record and selecting line-in in advance options and volume leveling to boost the sound although it probably doesn't need it. Then a few seconds later and the Kinks were on a burned CD and in my car stereo sounding so sweet. StantonDJ web site is a great help especially the message board for figuring out the hook-ups if you have any problems. Now the only problem is figuring out which of the 1200 LPs and 400 7"s to burn next...

Amazon.com Product Description

Whether you're actually a teenager, shopping for one, or just cultivating "teenness," VTech's stylish, 2.4 GHz gz2434--affectionately dubbed the "teen phone"--is just the cordless device for you. It has a trendy look and a fun color scheme, debuting in vibrant orange and offering changeable faceplates in five fashionable colors and patterns. The gz2434 also includes durable rubber detailing and fun styling on the handset.

Six distinctive teen-inspired pop-song ringer melodies alert you to incoming calls. Each of the phone's polyphonic ringer tones features eight instruments, the ensemble sound making the melodies sound more like the actual songs. In addition, the gz2434 comes with composer software with which you can program (and designate as ringer tones) up to seven additional favorite songs using MIDI files.

And, for those late night calls when privacy is a must--whether you're listening to music and can't hear the ringer or you've silenced the phone out of courtesy for others--the teen phone's antenna and keypad become flashing visual ringers. The VTech gz2434 also incorporates playful animated displays that signal waiting voicemail messages when the handset is charging and also whenever there's a caller match from the built-in 50-name phonebook directory.

As for the features one expects to find in a contemporary phone, the gz2434 offers call waiting/caller ID (requires service through your local phone company), a 50-name and -number phonebook directory, and a universal (2.5 mm) headset jack so you can enjoy private, mobile, hands-free conversations (headset not included). High, 2.4 GHz analog transmission offers greater range and less chance of interference than you'd get with a standard 900 MHz cordless.

Junk - don't buy.......2006-11-17

Nice LOOKING phone but useless, as it stopped working after only one month! I was so frustrated I threw it in the garbage, didn't even want to bother with the warranty. Should have recycled it though.. Too bad I had to give it one star.

This phone is awful!.......2005-10-20

First, let me say that I have another v-tech phone - that works great! But this one couldn't be worse! I bought the phone for my daughter thinking it would look nice in her room. It's cute all right, but after about 6 months - during which time she used it maybe 3 or 4 times for no more than 5 minutes per call - it simply stopped working. I thought it was a bad battery and bought a new one. Guess what...the battery was not the problem, the charger in the base simply stopped charging! You can't use a cordless phone with no battery...and since a charge only lasts 5 days...that's the length of time this phone will work. I would never consider a phone like this again. Don't waste your money like I did. It may be cute, but it doesn't work.

It could have been better.......2005-04-09

I had this phone for over a year. At times I loved it and at times I went searching for other phones. I replaced it once but the replacement died and decided to give this one another chance. Part of the problem was I didn't read the instructions or just forgot some. I think some of the people reviewing this phone are having the same problem. If you are getting a bad connection you should try changing the channel. Everytime you add a wireless device or electronic device you run the chance of causing problems with other wireless devices. Changing the channel fixed a problem I had and I bet it would have fixed some of the other reviewers problems also.

Note this is an ANALOG phone, despite being on the 2.5GHz spectrum, and its signal can be picked up by other wireless analog devices, like wireless headphone or speaker systems

Not just for teens.......2005-03-12

My husband and I purchased this phone 1-1/2 years ago, and overall it has proven to be a great phone. There are several features that I particularly enjoy and one or two minor problems.

1. The colorful base and handset covers make this phone immensely easy to locate in our dark log cabin.

2. The 007 themesong ring is just cool, on the flip side I wish they had included a "normal" ringtone along with all of the cell phone-like ringtones.

3. The handset is very comfortable to hold. The shape is nice and the rubberized areas make it easier to grip.

4. It's very simple to change the volume to the desired level on this phone.

5. The flashing lights when it rings are also great for locating it.

6. We have had one minor problem with it. The light that is supposed to indicate that a message is waiting does not always work. We have found that it's best to pick up the phone and check for the message waiting tone our phone company uses.

7. Also, a small pet peeve. The phone stays on my bedside table, and the charging light on the base was a little too bright for my liking. So, my husband took care of it by using trusty duct tape to cover the charging indicator light.

I would recommend this phone to anyone who is bored with the standard cordless phone colors available or who wants a phone that is easier to see in their house. Also, I believe this is an ideal phone for someone who has had a stroke because it is easier to hold on to than plastic phone models. Overall the VTech 2.4GHz - Teen Phone - Cordless Telephone - GZ2434 has proven to be a quality product at a reasonable price.
