Customer Review: Great - until it broke!
The TV was great to start with - picture quality is fantastic, sound is excellent, and it was everything I’d hoped for. But after 15 weeks it broke - the screen went blank and it kept switching itself on and off in an endless cycle. “No problem” I thought - it’s under warranty and I’ll get it repaired.

Well, the TV was collected on 26th November and, nearly 7 weeks later, I still don’t have it back. Christmas viewing was ruined. The repairers, acting under Sony’s instruction, keep ordering parts (which are never in the country and take days to arrive), fit them, and it till doesn’t work. Sony themselves are completely useless - all I get from them is a promise to call the repairers, which I can do myself. As of today it appears to be fixed but I still have to wait another 4 days to get it back.

My advice? Buy a Panasonic Viera. Wish I had.

Customer Review: KDL 40 X 2000 Review
After reading many reviews on various LCD makes (including on the SOny 40 x series), going into one showroom after another and getting staff to carry out a variety of tests to compare a number of LCD brands within the 37″ to 40″ range, I now have to agree with all the good reviews about the Sony 40″ X series. I took delivery yesterday and I am even more impressed than my initial impression when seeing this Sony LCD in the shops. And guess what, picture clarity of standard terrestial TV signal is crystal clear. Even without connecting to a SKY HD box set. …By the way John Lewis did a price match for ?1549 (with 5 yr warrentee)..Best value out there at the moment when you check prices on line (with 5 yrs cover included). Pick any online company with a walk-in shop/warehouse where LCDs (of any make) can be bought over the counter.

The tricky part is attaching the TV stand (took 3 mins), but once that was done Setting up the TV took me a couple of minutes at the most. The automatic Smart TV setting resizes your ITV image to fit the screen with little distortion of the image. I did not itend to spend this amount on an LCD however I can tell you all it was absolutely worth pushing the boat out.

I would advise seating at least 2 meters from the screen and futher out for better viewing. Also you may want to invest in a home cinema system or equivalent audio system. The LCD speakers could have been better, but hey, I am not complaining. ALl in all only slightly (and stress slightly) let down by speakers. Beware issues with 40X3500. more money but improvement do not justify additional cost.

Customer Review: Fun little camera!
I am definitely an amateur, not as savvy a user as it sounds like a lot of the other reviewers are. But, from the other extreme of “photographer-smartness”, this is a great little camera to use. It’s easy, yet has a lot of functionality, which the user guide manages to clearly explain. I needed something very small, which it is, that takes awesome pictures, which it does. Battery life seems very good, so far. My husband likes the manly brown color, too.
Customer Review: Fantastic camera at a great price
I just bought this camera last night and I had a few hours to play with it. The picture quality is fantastic indoors and outside. The macro setting is really nice. I was looking for a small camera under $300 that has great picture quality and movie quality. I found it! The SD100IS is the best choice, and it looks very cool. I bought mine in brown.

Bring your photographic subjects closer with this Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS Image Stabilizer Telephoto Zoom Lens. It is designed with Canon’s Optical Image Stabilizer technology and is compact and light. This high zoom ratio lens is equivalent to a focal length of 88-400mm in the 35mm format (when used on Canon EOS cameras compatible with EF-S lenses). The image stabilizer effect is equivalent to a shutter speed about 4 stops faster than the same size lens without Image Stabilizer. In other words, if the slowest shutter speed you could formerly hold a 250mm lens steadily was 1/250th of a second, with Canon’s 4-stop stabilization correction, you could hand-hold at shutter speeds as slow as 1/15th of a second. It also uses a UD-glass lens element to correct chromatic aberration for excellent image quality throughout the zoom range.

Filter Size - 58mm Max. Diameter - x Length 2.8 in. x 4.3 in./70 x 108mm (maximum lens length) Weight - 13.8 oz./390g Canon 1 year limited warranty

Customer Review: I Love It For IS and Zoom Range at this Price, Not Pure Performance
I was determined to love this lens based on the specs and price point alone. Canon really needed to come out with this lens at this price because Nikon offers a very decent Vibration Reduction lens at roughly the same range for the same price, leaving me make apologize for Canon and their neglect to all my Nikon friends. The IS can be switched off to save battery life but I haven’t noticed a difference in battery performance with it. The IS is only activiated when you press the shutter halfway for auto focus. Although it FEELS like there is a small lag for the IS to start, I don’t think I’ve had any photos messed up because of it. You can HEAR the IS. A little bizarre after using point and shoots that have IS that is silent, but it doesn’t seem to affect performance Pro: Great price for an image stabilized zoom lens. I paid 299 and am very pleased even though Amazon is selling it for 280 a week later. ALso arrive 2 months sooner than Amazon initially promised. Pro: Images are very sharp. Pro: Image stabilization does a VERY nice job. Four stops as advertised by Canon? I’m not so sure. GREATLY enhancing the composition experience at 250mm? Absolutely. Pro: Much smaller and lighter than the 70-300 of any manufacturer and much sharper than my Sigma 70-300. Con: Cheapish feel. But just use it, quit feeling it already. Plastic mount. But if you NEED a metal mount, may I suggest you are being a little rough with your camera. Con: This lens is a little (ok, maybe not so little) slow to focus in dim light, sometimes it misses altogether when I think other lenses of mine would have had no difficulty. Con: I never gave Inner Focusing much thought on my other lenses until I used this. The front of this lens rotates AND moves in and out a LOT while focusing, so much so that you MAY even want to recompose your shot. The length of this lens changes almost an inch across the focus range. I just checked my Sigma 70-300 and found that it does also, but I’ve never seen it make as much difference in the viewfinder as I have with this Canon. Your perception may vary. This lens and the soon to be arriving 18-55 IS as the XSi kit lens will allow me to carry one less lens to achieve an 18-250 IS range. For a little more money than the cost of both lenses you can get the Tamrom 18-250 but not have Image Stabilization. Conclusion: A great EF-S lens for Canon users. (even if Nikon had to force Canon to make it for us.)
Customer Review: Best Telephoto Lens in this price rang.
I got this lens a week ago and love it. Yes Amazon is saying that you are saving a 100 dollars when buying from them but that is not true. Any way this is a great lens, I like that there is no mm gap between the 18-55mm lens and this lens. Also this lens includes a new feature, that is image stabilizer (can be turned on or off). This feature is good for telephoto lens because when taking a picture from far away any little movement of the camera causes the picture to be blurry, the stabilizer gets rid of that. A+++ in my book!
