when the camera arrived, it took me about 10 minutes to get familiar with the settings and features. menus and buttons are set out logically. then i tried it all out with photos of my children, flowers (testing the macro), landscapes, sunsets... i am very impressed with the results. it's a robust camera which is easy to hold and the quality of the photos is superb, even with zoom. the movie mode produces good video files. i am looking forward to using the camera at christmas and on days out. i also bought an 8GB SD card and fujifilm leather bag from amazon and they are great accessories for this camera.

I have little to add to all the positive reviews - it is quite astonishing how well the atmosphere of a ski resort has been recreated. One point: the default set up for the skis does not reflect how skis work. ie pressure on right ski turns right; if you've even skied once you will know you need to transfer your weight to the left ski to turn right. It is possible to reverse the right/left settings to the correct ones. You need to press buttons 1 & 2 while paused. The pressure monitoring bar changes from blue (incorrect) to pink (correct). Its worth doing this - you don't want to have to unlearn bad skiing habits on a real mountain!

amazon should be more aware of products they suggest buying together, especially with something like a camera and a memory card.
this particular brand wasnt compatible with what i bought it for or the majority of things i tried it in. i gave it to a friend, she has had no trouble with it

I have used Verbatim on numerous occasions in the past and always been very happy with the item. This particular spindle , however, is of extremely poor quality. Keep coming up with error message "disc is dirty".Other blank dvd's I have still work fine with my Sony HDD recorder, so definitely the fault of the discs. Packaging is also different to picture displayed.
I have just noticed another poor review. Recommend purchase of alternative brand until quality control issues resolved on this item.

Christmas is coming so save your cash! Why purchase something you can get for a fiver.
Go to ipodgifts.net and sign up. Complete ONE offer- I would recommend Gala Bingo (you know, the one Sharon Osborne advertises for on tv),as this is cheap and fun (and you might win some money in the process!). If you really don't want to spend, there is a free Lovefilm trial.
All companies are well known so there is no risk involved- give it a go! I got my Ipod and many other things this way, so don't miss out.
I was a sceptic once but now I am SO glad I gave it a chance. BBC approved this system on their Newsnight programme a while back.
Many items to choose from; ipod Shuffle, Nano, Touch, Classic or even an Iphone. ... Read More:

i bought this camera from Amazon on November last year. It works quite well but I am not totally pleased with 230£ I had paid for as you cant zoom when you record a video.
with 12mp and some other stuffs but I can see this camera is not much better than the others which less pixel and less money.
Anyhow, so far so good, the len works properly unlike other reviews

For the money this is a superb device, it's fast at reading and writing which is what you would expect.
However, I have encountered one problem which is the reason why I have only given it 4 stars, in order to use the device you have to slide the side button, this retracts the USB mechanism, when you plug in the device, this sometimes forces the USB back into it's housing therefore not activating the device.
I don't know if Kingston are aware of this little problem, there should be a means to lock the device in the open position. The other good benefit is the 5 year guarantee

The best of a variety of external HDD's I've used. I store VMware images on mine, and my virtual machines run great even though they're on a USB drive. With the compact size, and the fact that it is cool and quiet I highly recommend.

This photo frame is excellent value for money. It may not have some of the features you can get on more costly frames, but when you only need to display pictures and can't afford to go out and spend £100s on a gift this frame is ideal. It looks smart too! Especially in white!
