Customer Review: Love it!
Suits me just fine. Not stupidly large, so quite unobtrusive, excellent picture and all the connectivity you could possibly wish for. Don’t like the postitioning of some of the on-screen info displays, but this is a minor criticism.

Customer Review: No such problems here…
Purchased one of these televisions out-with amazon about a month ago. I can’t see any evidence of the image problems detailed in the earlier review. The television displays images very sharply and in high quality, (the type you would expect from a sony television). The freeview also seems to be top-notch - it picks up signals much more successfully than the freeview box in the other room. The menus are very easy to navigate and settings are very easy to change.

The sound produced by the television is also very good. I was quite relieved by this as I had originally been looking to buy a samsung 26″ television , but was deterred from doing so by numerous reports of poor sound quality and so chose this sony 26″ instead.

The only problem which I have encountered so far with this television concerns the ports at the back. The computer monitor port (technical name?) works, both the television component input and high definition television component input work. In fact, the only ones which have caused problems are the HDMI ports. I recently purchased an xbox 360 elite, which I was planning to use on one of the television’s 2 HDMI ports. This has proven extremely unsuccessful, however. I have had all the equipment - cables and xbox - replaced and the television sent for testing. The result of all this seems to point to an incompatibility between the television’s HDMI ports and the xbox, as no fault was found with the television and the replaced equipment yielded the same results.

In spite of this disappointment, I am still rating this television with 5 stars as all it’s other functions seem to work perfectly.

Bring those far away subjects in close. The TC-DC58B converts the focal length of the body lens by a factor of approximately 1.5 (35 mm film equivalent at maximum telephoto: approximately 648 mm) when attached. The TCDC58B Telephoto Lens Converter screws into the front of the S2 IS’s existing lens to provide greater magnification (1.5x), for those times when you are shooting distant subjects that you do not want to disturb, such as children, pets, or wildlife.

Customer Review: Canon Tele Converter Lens S2
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3FFCUS9J820ZM Took the video and still shots with my converter lens now on youtube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b58foblfzD0. I have 1 vids, all taken with my S2, the converter lens, a recent purchase is good to have, although the S2 12 optical zoom does a good job. A slight learning curve using the converter lens.

Customer Review: Eh! What’s amatta you? Vito’s swimmin’ widda fishes.
I had a dream I was a recipient of a little “Mafia justice.” You know… cement overshoes and all that. Well, I had my new Canon WP-DC13 Waterproof Case for Canon SD1000 Digital Camera in my hands with camera secure inside. I recorded the whole fandango from my special watery perspective and when the case with dry camera inside floated to the surface, the cops picked it up and tracked down the scoundrels. What greater recommendation can I give? This is a FIVE-STAR product. You ought to buy one… or else! Kapeesh?
Customer Review: Very Satisfied
The case worked great, I took it on a sailing trip and did some snorkeling with it and it worked great. I was afraid the lens might fog up but it never did.

Customer Review: Free of stereotypes
Giustozzi has written a very dry, factual book on the nature of the Taliban’s return to Afghanistan after the Northern Alliance’s victory. It is solid non-partisan reportage in which he looks at the Taliban’s strengths, weakness, mistakes and successes. So often nowadays recent history is portrayed as a struggle between demons and angels, between the clever and the foolish; this book makes it clear both sides (and all the third parties) are learning as they are going. All of his analysis resonated with the views of the authors of the “fighting books” on topics like the Brits in Helmand. The book is dry, it is more BBC4 than BBC1, and this will mean some readers will find it less entertaining but it is well worth, I think, understanding the three dimensional nature of the opposing party.
Customer Review: Excellent, a must read book
Despite Antonio Giustozzi doesn’t enjoy yet the worldwide reputation he certainly deserves, his detailed analisys about the insurgency under way in Afghanistan is an invaluable asset to recommend to everybody interested in understanding dynamics at play in that unlucky Central Asian Country: academics as well as military or diplomats. Many maps add this book further value. In my opinion, a must be read! Germano Dottori

Customer Review: Good-looking, but stopped working after 2 years
This is a lovely looking microwave, which is compact and lovely and shiny, and so looked great in my kitchen. However, after 2 years it has now stopped working. I suppose for the price, that’s not bad.
Customer Review: Works well
I’ve had mine for about 10 months and it has worked faultlessly the whole time. It is easy to clean and looks great on my benchtop. The build is very good but perhaps not as solid as some of the Panasonic microwaves I’ve seen. I would recommend this item overall.
