Video Reviews

These DVD cases were just what I was looking for. I had purchased a few DVD boxed sets that had some rather poorly designed cases and the DVDs were so difficult to remove that every time I took one out to watch it I was afraid of damaging the disc. For a while I just kept the movies in some spare CD jewel cases, but they would get mixed in with my music and it was a pain to try to find them. Not anymore. These cases are sturdy, well-made, and the DVDs pop out and snap back in without having to bend the disc at a 30° angle. They have an ample label area along the spine and on the front. Or of course you can always print up your own designer covers and slide those in instead. Great quality for not much money. Recommended.

Being in a sector like college, community centers and public forums one does not always have the luxury of rewinding a tape while other students are milling about the the AV squad wants their VCR back. That where my Kinyo comes in handy. It does the job quick and easy and the tape goes right back in the box. It works well for the price.

This VHS tape rewinder looks like a sleek red sportscar--complete with headlights that run when it's doing its work. I am extremely satisfied with my purchase of this item because my 4 year-old now enjoys rewinding tapes almost as much as he enjoys viewing them! We constantly borrow educational videos from the public library. All of the rewinding necessary takes a lot of time AND puts great wear and tear on VCRs. This takes a lot of stress away from those expensive machines! Also, the price is a bargain!

Frankly I don't see how this thing could get less than 5 stars unless it took a very long time to rewind, or ate the tape. My remote is lost, possibly thanks to a nephew, and our brand of machine is apparently one of the few which a Universal Remote has no code for.(Or I may have done the code search improperly). So the Rewinder was a necessity, as the VCR/TV we have has no rewind button! So with no remote, we needed this device or else each tape could only be watched once, and if rented, returned un-rewinded, which makes rental places sore. That it also fast-forwards is nice too. N.B. Since writing the previous sentences, I have found my remote, it was in the last place I looked. (There is a lot of that going around these days, you know, lost & found etc.) Does this mean it was not possible after all for it to have been missing possibly due to a nephew, just because that does not seem to have happened?

I recently discovered these batteries in a store and tried them out as they claimed they were designed for digital applications.

They dusted regular and premium AA batteries when I used them in my Canon 550EX flash. With normal batteries I get around 250 shots, but to get those I have to swap the batteries out to let them cool down after about 100 shots. With the Kodak 3x batteries, I got over 400 shots and did not have to swap them out. On top of that, they seemed to recharge the flash even faster then normal as they warmed up.

While I don't recommend them for low-continuous power devices such as clocks and flash lights, I do highly recommend them for high-energy use devices such as digital cameras and flashes.

The reason I have found from looking up the specs on the Kodak site is they are indeed designed for high-energy digital devices which consume a lot of power over a short duration, in fact the more you drain (up to a point) the more over all power they should provide.

If you only take an occasional picture once in a blue moon, I don't recommend them, but if like me you take lots in one setting, these batteries are fantastic. Unless I can't find them I don't use anything else in my camera flashes anymore.

Save money for other accessories by buying Lenmar batteries and chargers. They work as good as Canon's batteries in my ZR 70 and the run-time is impressive. You won't regret this purchase.

If the controller S is too small for your liking, and the original (the Duke) is too large and ungainly, try this one out. It is perfectly sized for the hands of a medium to large sized American male. Some might not like the fact that the analog sticks are a little bit loose, but I love it. The triggers are large and well sculpted, and there are grooves for your middle fingers that provide a tight and comfortable grip. This is the only contoller I use anymore. I have two extra still in the packaging so I'll never run out. Asthetically, it is the coolest looking Xbox controller as well.

I love my Logitech Quick Cam Traveler! Not sorry I bought it.
It's small enough to stick in my pocket on outings and it isn't bad on batteries. I take pictures with it in all kinds of lighting and the software allows editing if jpegs are too light or too dark. I had some that were really fuzzy and could save them with the sharpening feature in the editor. The software alone is worth buying Logitech. I just pop the camera back on my computer and it automatically downloads all my picts into a photo gallery. The software also has a feature I love that allows me to immediately email my choice of jpegs to friends and relatives without having to pull up outlook express and then backtrack to find attachments, etc. The long cord makes it handy to use the web cam feature for live broadcasting. It's also great for chat and net meeting. It's convenient and easy to use. A small clip comes with it so you can hook it on your monitor or you can use it freely with a little tripod stand that is well designed so that it's flexible for various positions. The built in microphone is also a plus. I also like the modes that allows you to do more with it and 3 way focus for distance, macro, or close ups. It will also monitor your computer when you are gone so that if anyone comes near it in the room the sensors pick up any activity and collects pictures of the culprit in action! Really a good deal for the price at Amazon! The mfg sells it for [price] but Amazon offers it for a little over half the amount. Considering you don't need to buy film and spend more on developing it's worth it to invest in batteries for times when you travel with it and they don't need to be expensive ones. I highly recommend it for experienced or new users.

This wheel is an unbelievable product and value, not just for the price but at any price. Thats the bottom line.

If you have Nascar Thunder '03 or any other racing game for the cube, you must get this wheel! I was skeptical at first because every console wheel I have ever owned was useless. This wheel does not just rumble it actually has force feedback, meaning the wheel pulls back to center and against you just as if you were in a real car. In Nascar Thinder '03, if you set the car up loose the wheel will be loose. If you change the wedge to tighten up the car during a pit stop, the wheel will tighten up as well. If you are in career mode and your chasis is in bad condition, the wheel center position will shift and will make it harder to steer properly.

It has all of the buttons on the wheel that the standard controller has minus the C-stick and analog stick (you dont need them). While the pedals are not necessary, I reccomend them because they provide a better overall experience. The wheel improved my performance on the track vs. a controller by 3 or 4 seconds on each lap.

The wheel is well constructed and surpassed all my expectations. Same for the pedals. Logitech has a great quality product that is OFFICIALLY licensed by Nintendo (the only wheel to be so) and works great.

This is the best tape ever!!!!!!! If you need a tape this is the one to buy.
