Video Reviews

This is a great camcorder bag. It has three main sections. The first being the main compartment you house your camcorder in (this main section is divided into two sections by an adjustable barrier so that almost any sized camcorder can fit in the bag without moving around.) The camcorder fit into the main compartment with enough room to put in my camera and voice recorder.
This main section and the pouch attached to this main section is hidden under the flap which is closed by just a click. The pouch holds all of my tapes and film that I need, with room to spare. And the bottom section of the bag holds my battery, charger, all of my wires with enough room to put in a lot more. This bottom section is detachable so all you have to carry around is what you need for recording.
To top all of that off this bag is water proof and has shock absorbing foam which makes you feel very safe that your camera and camcorder won't be damaged if you get stuck walking in rain or happen to bump the bag.
The bag comes with a warranty, which of course covers nothing but the bag.

I wanted a bag to hold all of my video camera's cables and accessories, not to mention the battery charger. However, having made several trips to Disney World this year I have discovered that once you have arrived all you really want to carry around with you is the camera. The rest of the stuff stays in the hotel room until it's needed. That is where this bag fits the bill. Not only will my video camera (Sony DCR-TRV30) fit into the top bag, so will my digital camera (Olympus 2020Z), it's snug, but not to the point of endangering either camera. The top bag's zippered front pouch has room for a spare set of batteries (for both cameras), four DV size tapes and extra memory cards. The bottom bag will hold both of the battery chargers, manuals, cables, and still has room for more batteries and tapes. The LowePro web site has information as to what will fit into each of their bags, which I found to be very useful during my initial research. Their bags are very well made and have a lifetime warranty!

These tapes are very reliable, will give you great quality and will last a long time. I have a few tapes that are 10 years old but they still play fine. Thanks Maxell.

Video tapes from Maxell's product line are among the best consumer grade VHS tapes available to the public and the preferred choice among video archivers. When used in conjunction with a high-end VCR, Maxell Gold provides an excellent picture, even when used in the extended play / super long play speed and is incredibly durable. I have never experienced color bleeding or noise problems, even after years of storage. This is an excellent tape for a reasonable price and one of the best choices for archiving your most precious memories.

The sad truth is, if you're using the cables that came with your machine, you probably aren't getting the most out of your DVD player. No matter how much you spent on the player, the cables it came supplied with are probably not good enough. Its the same story as with hi-fi equipment, as regards cables and speakers. They skimp on them to give you a lower price. So, for a perfectly reasonable price, you can upgrade. You just plug 'em in, and hey presto, better quality. It really is that simple. So simple, in fact, it'd be a shame not to do it. You could be enjoying better pictures, greater sharpness, more vivid colours.

And you paid enough for the player, after all. You might as well get it perfect!

I set up a home theatre system it loved it. I eventually went the extra mile and purchased the Monster Interlink Connections, S-Video (for my DVD and Satellite), and Speaker cables. What a difference. My wife walked into the house just as I had finished connecting and couldn't believe it was the same system with only different cables. It made the system sound MUCH better. One thing I read once and now believe...reserve about 10% of your home theatre budget for cables (If you are spending or plan on spending $5000.00 on TV, surround sound, speakers, etc, then plan on spending about $500.00 for cables. It makes a world of difference!

This cable completely changed a new, small TV's picture with better color and resolution. The difference was so major we switched all our televisions to Monster. If you get cable ... get Monster.

I bought my Mom a small TV/VCR combo for her bedroom. We first used standard cables (from a well known electric company), and had a drab, mediocre, run-of-the mill picture. When the MV2F's arrived (4 meter - from Amazon.com, of course), the picture changed dramatically. Better colors, better resolution, better everything. The reception was so good on the 13 inch bedroom, my parents watched it more than the 32 inch in the family room. My Mother wanted to know why Monster wasn't on all the TV's in the house. I did order the MV3F's and Z series for the larger 32 inch set ... which died before the cables arrived. The 32" was replaced by a nice, heavy, 27" Sony Flat. The cables did arrive in time for the new TV. The TV man couldn't believe the picture. It never had a picture that good, in the store, even when playing a DVD. I read other customer reviews, at Amazon.com, before my first Monster purchase. The best review said, in effect, that Monster will make your TV do all it can do, it won't make it a better TV. For the new TV's in my parents house...the difference was major. MH

the cables are great they are very strong but bendable at the same time also look cool and most importantly the give a great piture actualy i havent compared it to anything bet i had a component for my ps2 now i have it for my xbox and the the dvds look a lot better with monster cables for my xbox than normal sony component hook up for my ps2 the cables are overall great and the colors really look more real and alive and if u notice with normal av cables u see color mixing and the backgrounds look fuzzy (kinda) and component get rid of 99% (rarely u see a very little color fade or something in a couple of movies in the wrold) and it uses 3 anlog cables for video instead of the 1 anlog that is standerd so u colud say it makes the picture 3x better

Why hasen't any else reviewed this great product? Anyways I got my component cable a few days again and can certainly say I notice a great improvment in video quality over my previous S-Video connection. You can certainly tell the difference in the action packed DVD's like Xmen,Spiderman,Terminator and such. But in movies like Bruce Almighty you may not notice the difference.
These are definitely worth the cost.

I've only had this thing for 2 weeks but am quite impressed with it. the constuction, size and performace are what you would hope for at this price level.

I'd recommend it to boat owners.

This thing delivers exactly what it promises: it enables one to see in darkness! Within a city you will hardly find a spot dark enough to fully appreciate the scope, but in the country side at night this thing is incredible. The built-in infrared light source allows one to see in pitch black. The image is monochrome (greenish) and is distorted towards the edges, sort of like if you are looking through a bubble. Even so, the effective viewing angle is wide enough for comfortable viewing. Also, I was quite impressed with quality of the optics: if you adjust the eye-piece to your eye, the focus ring allows to get a very sharp image from just a few feet to infinity! I found a minor defect, however: The battery lid appeared to not provide a good contact to the battery, so I had to tweak the lid slightly for the power to come on. The construction of the body and the objective's assembly, however, seemed smooth and very sturdy.

i have a tx8511 onkyo receiver i cant hook up a sub but i do have 15" inch speaker technics it good for bass but not for movies because i cant really hear the voice wonder if any1 out there can recomand good receiver of onkyo and good price for sub roofer hook up with 15" speaker.

From my experience in testing receivers and listening to sound, this receiver kicks butt.
I have bought and tested the following in my home:
HK AVR520
Marantz SR7200
Onkyo TX-SR700
Yamaha RX-V1300

They are all great receivers and depending on your sound preference and speakers you might choose a different receiver. But for my setup (bose speakers), I just love the Onkyo.
Please let me know your thoughts if you own this receiver or have heard it.

This product is exceptional in its quality and performance. I had originally thought I could save by buying a KONKA. My mistake! AMAZON issued return credit promptly and I immediately purchased the Panasonic. I've had a portable DVD for a few years and decided to upgrade to a bigger picture. This Panasonic has features I will never use but the ones I use are just what I had hoped for - easy use, good picture and good sound. On the other hand, the KONKA was a piece of junk. Wheather this review is helpful to you makes me "no never mind" but I can assure you that you can trust me more than that "person" from China who said he knows KONKA can be a quality product. He writes alot of reviews, none of which I would trust.

I just bought this tv/dvd combo set a week ago. And so far I've come away really impressed with the visual and audio this baby packs. It was the first dvd player I've ever bought, and naturally I saved money by getting this ([price]Costco) rather then buying a tv and a separate dvd player. Also in my opinion the panablack screen looks crisper and clearer then any other dvd/tv set I've seen(excluding HDTV).The sound is also excellent even impressing my parents with the great sound capabilities. Overal, I would recommend this unit to any dorm or single guy who wants a nice litte dvd/tv set that doens't cost to much and offers great picture and sound. You really can't get a better deal with your money. And this baby packs a lot of features for those of you who would like to add on sound capabilities later. Andrew Hanson
