This product is truly designed for owners of digital cameras with various types of memory cards. The image quality on large format HD screens is quite impressive.

Downside, you have to have a compact flash card and reader in order to import the updated software. Looking at prices at Amazon this could cost more than half the price of the unit itself. This is a serious shortcoming for this product and my reason for a average rating. I have still not been able to get the unit to work on either of my networks using Windows XP.

Most people keep their photo's on CD's and a CD slot would have been a great feature, even over the assortment of memory card slots they provide. I would believe that most images are moved from memory cards to hard drives and cd's for long term storage and later viewing making a CD drive much more practical.

This is a very well executed product.

After using the Prismiq MediaPlayer for six months (which I have now sold off on ebay), this is a godsend. Even my wife can now use the Roku HD1000.

* Component Video Output of upto 1080i (this is a plus for me as I have an HDTV, although this may not be an important feature to you if you do not have HDTV) -- finally some justice done to my digital photos. Actually, the UI is more readable as well because of the higher resolution.

* Very good UI, although some some features (better playlist navigation, auto-playlists or sort by artist/album/genre etc) are desperately needed.

* Open platform, SDK is freely available. Opens door for 3rd-party developers

* No special server software needed, other than SMB file sharing.

* The company engineers (including the CEO) seems to be listening to the customers and coming up with useful feature updates.

* The only negative feature is its price. At $500, it seems a bit too expensive.

High-Resolution HDTV output looks fantastic, for both pictures and
menus. MP3 player displays ID3 tags and can play in the background
while you do other things (like watch a slideshow). The user
interface is clean, minimalist, and easy to use. It finds shared
content on networked drives and inserted flash cards and they appear
in the user interface automatically. Unlike the competition, it
requires no proprietary server software: just plug it in and you are
ready to go. And it costs about the same as competing products, but
none of them provide HDTV output.

The only drawback is that the remote responsiveness is slightly worse
than other electronics, though programming a learning remote from the
supplied remote makes it better.

This VCR jammed two of my prerecorded tapes right out of the box! Very poor quality also shows through the casing. Many features, but not as easy to learn as the other reviews claim.

Returned mine and got a much better JVC for the same price at local store.

I use this unit as a second for my bedroom tv and it has just been great.

You can pay more for other units but for just watching tapes it is just great and the color is cool.

I bought this vcr about a month ago, and have been really pleased. It is very easy to operate, and works well. I rarely hook up electronic devices and this was pretty much a breeze to set up. I haven't noticed anything of poor quality about it. The games can be addicting (though they are very, very, very basic). It's not high-tech, but it serves it's purpose very well. Kids will especially love it.

Great price for the tape, except there is no button or item to click to purchase it. Is this a joke?

I'd also love to buy one of these gems at this price, but alas no buy button. They'll sell me a used tape, however at two times the price. Grrrrrrr. I give this item 5 stars out of a posible Carl Sagan Billions and Billions.

I bought two Sony 120 Minute Hi8 casettes for my sharp camcorder. I used it over the long weekend.The recording was just phenomenal. On playback,it seems as if all the events happen again. It is a must buy.

The clarity of this camera is fuzzy. I can only see shadows and not the clear faces of the people.

The Veo Connect USB PC Camera is essentially the Veo Advanced model minus the built-in microphone. For the price of the camera, stability, and functionality, this is a good buy. If you're using AOL 9.0, AIM, Yahoo, or MSN, you can do no wrong. If you're looking for a cam to use for a business, i.e. Webcam sites that charge a fee (which I won't get into here,) or you're looking for a professional quality camera for other reasons, don't buy this. The Veo connect is perfect, and targeted at, those that just want to keep in touch with family and friends who don't need a plethora of features. It's a simple user interface, good software & compatability, and extremely easy to set up. Plug it in, load the software, then use your favorite Instant Messenging service. The camera runs at a nice 30 fps which is good and there is an adjustable focus. I've looked over webcams for over the last 6 years, going all the way back to the black & white one's put out in 1997. I was pleasantly surprised get out of my office, connect this one to my laptop, and chat with friends from the recliner. Nice camera overall.

this is an awesome webcam the picture is really clear, other webcams require a lot of light but this one you don't need that much light to see a image. this is a great camera it's small you can't hardly notice it's there. and it has this hot little blue light when it's on so you know when it's working.

I bought this tripod and within one week the center gear for height adjustment stripped out therefore height unusable. The whole casing around crank leaver is made of plastic and gear is made of the cheap white metal. Quality is not worth having. Take some advice spend a little more money and buy you a good one so you don't end up in the same shape I am in.

a great buy indeed. I looked at the customer opinions before buying this one and i wasnt dissapointed. Its got an amazing set of features for the money you put in. The only complaint is that, you have to handle it a bit carefully and not roughly, because the material its made up of, its not too great. That apart its a great value for money.

No, it's not the greatest tripod you can get, and it's not professional/heavy duty quality. But I don't own a professional grade piece of equipment anyway, ...you can't really go wrong if you are an amateur photographer/videographer.

It's perfect for my digital camera and camcorder. It has all the features that I would need... plus, it looks really slick. When looking it over, you can't tell the difference between this and a tripod that's $50 more.

Overall, a great buy, and a must have for photography, home video.

I really liked this VCR, especially for the money, but it broke after only 5 months.

I bought this vcr to replace a phillips one that cost twice as much and lasted 6 months. I love this Samsung VCR. As soon as you plug it in it sets itself to the right time. The rewind is incredibly fast (less than one minute to rewind a tape). Timer recording is a breeze to set up. The single best feature is that you can have 3 separate input lines and you can set the VCR to record from which line input you choose. I have my dvd player as one line input, my satellite coming in on another, and the antenna input on the 3rd. I can switch which one I'm watching instantly. The self-tracking system works great and a little graph pops up on the screen to let you know the progress of the tracking adjustment. In fact, there are only 2 minor annoyances that can be overlooked because of the outstanding value you get. 1. The coaxial jacks on the back of the vcr have very little room around them to get you fingers into to attach a cable. You have to use pliers. 2. On most vcr's when you can press fast forward once for medium fast and twice for even faster. The button does not do this on this vcr. If you press it once, it advances medium fast. If you press it twice it fast-forwards 30 seconds and then resumes play. But don't despair, as there is a separate shuttle button that allows you to fast forward or review in 3 different speeds. You just have to get used to using a different button for this. But like I said, I love this VCR and am buying one for my father for Christmas. I would recommend this VCR to everyone. Why spend more than (dollar amount) with all the features this stereo VCR has?

This is a pretty good VCR at a great price. I saw a demonstration of this unit. The 19 micron heads delivered a good picture in the EP mode.

I bought 1 of these VCR's and liked it and then bought another 1 for my sons room.During some bad weather the lights went out then came back on after about an hour.These peices of junk did'nt work anymore,I found it strange that the only electroic equipment that went out were these "SHARP VCR's" I took them to a VCR shop and the guy told me that SHARP makes these VCR's with cheap no good parts. I am out 2 VCR's and($).I am so disapointed with ... Company.They told me that it was not thier fault.Let me stress all my other electonic equipment was fine! ...

I Wish My Sister Had This Item to watch movies in her room at bedtime! My Sister Does Not Want One of these but I think she would want one.

I purchased this VCR to go with the Sharp 32" TV. It works very well, I have had no problems with it. It also operates with the remote from the TV, so I don't have an extra remote to fool with.
