Samsung ST500 Digital Camera - Black/Silver (12MP, 4.6x Optical Zoom) 3.0 inch LCD

Genius of a Camera, 2009-11-30
It's one of those Eureka moments when some wisecrack at Samsung came up with a brilliant idea of putting a second screen in the front of the camera - utter genius! Good quality feel and build, pictures are quite bland compared to my old IXUS - but who cares? I've got my two Nikon DX bodies - a D300 and a D60 - in my disposal if I wanted to shoot some serious stuff.

This is the camera to bring when you're out with your mates, on your holiday, on those social gathering when you wanted to get close and personal with someone else.

I used to have a digital Canon IXUS four years ago - took it to Wimbledon, and on my way back to the car park - I managed to bumped into one of my tennis heroes - whoelse than Rafael Nadal - walking on his way out after a match, on his own and there were only three people around the area where he was walking. Took my Canon out from the bag and Raffa obliged to have a picture with me in a split of a second. So holding my prized Canon, I nervosuly aimed the lens to us hoping to show it off to my mates - and you guessed it right - I was out of the frame and only Rafa's shoulder appeared on the camera. Gutted! If only Samsung came out with this idea ages ago - I could have my once-in-a-lifetime moment perfectly framed, if not perfectly exposed.

A five-star rating for Samsung for that genius idea!

Word of warning : This camera takes a MicroSD card, so don't be fooled if Amazon sells you a SD card as a package. Read the whole product description, it'll takes 8GB MicroSD card, so I don't know what seems to be the problem with others.

Samsung S2 500GB Portable USB 2.0 Hard Drive With Michael Jackson's "This Is It" Full Length Movie Pre-loaded - Limited Edition

excellent quality hard drive with a free film!, 2010-02-23
Pre-ordered one of these for my girlfriend and were are both very pleased indeed!

1)The hard drive is a really good quality with a nice shiney Gold finish to the top half of the case.A nice touch was the small pouch style case in the pack. It is plug and play and there is backup software but is is optional.
Overall this appears to be one of the best portable drives available

2) Michael Jackson was probably the best performing artist we have ever seen and " This is it" is a beautiful mix of Concert,Documentary and Movie and we have watched it many times since we took delivery

In short this is a fantastic portable hard drive which stands out from all of the other plastic boxes available with a fantastic movie for basically nothing !

100% recommended purchase.

I spent some time reading reviews on many devices but the R1 meets all that I needed in a media player.

Data capacity,
Drag and drop file transfer,
MP3 player,
Podcast player,
FM radio... well you can read the specs.

Audio reproduction is good for a hand held device, and the in-ear buds are very comfortable for a freeby. By all accounts better ear piece models enhance the sound very well.

The price I paid was excellent in comparison to other famous brand names but you do need to shop around.
I would recommend this device based on performance and price.
Well done Samsung!

Samsung N210 10.1-inch Netbook (Intel Atom N450 1.66 GHz Processor, 1 GB RAM, 250 GB HDD, 6 Cell Battery, up to 11.2 Hours, Webcam, Windows 7 Starter, White)

Everything I could have hoped for, 2010-02-10
I took a chance and bought this netbook on the basis of a brief video review from the Consumer Electronics Show - and I'm delighted to say that so far it has met or exceeded my expectations. It's certainly a big improvement on my Eee PC901.

The keyboard is wonderful - everything is where I expect it to be, and only a light touch is needed. The touchpad is better than most (though I prefer a mini-mouse anyway), and the display is very bright - indeed I found it far too bright for my liking, and was delighted to discover that when I reduced the brightness it made a big difference to battery life. I haven't yet managed 12 hours battery life, but 8 hours is easily achievable, and I reckon I'll be getting 10 hours soon. A printed manual would have been nice, but hey, think of all the trees that have been saved.

I had been considering the Samsung N140, but I'm glad the N210 came along before I committed. Highly recommended!

Perfect for all ages, 2010-01-13
I bought two of these as christmas presents - a pink one for my 14 yr old daughter and a silver one for my mother-in-law. Both found it to be easy to use and my 14yr old loved the video feature. All in all, a lovely little camera that is good for all ages.

Yes, Consider This One, 2010-01-16
I originally bought the cheaper Sumvision Upscaling DVD Player from Amazon. Impressive for the price but it died completely within 48 hours after a dramatic POP! Amazon's 30 day free return service is excellent by the way - they only offered a refund though so I had to look again at DVD Players.

The Samsung doesn't have the same specification as the cheaper Sumvision as it can't take SD Memory Cards and (as far as I can see so far) doesn't play compact formats of video files (via the USB port). It does play .AVI video files but I converted a 1 hour MP4 video file as an AVI format file and it became over 16GB! in size. My USB pen drive is only 8GB so I was out of luck.

The build quality is great, definately a step up on the Sumvision. Set up was VERY easy - I connected the HDMI cable (not supplied!) and it immediately set itself at 720p resolution to match my LG TV.

Please note that when using the HDMI input I am restricted toeither 4:3 or 16:9 screen ratios. This is quite frustrating when watching squarer screen ratio videos - via the SCART cable connection I can adjust the 'screen fill' from my TV to get a bigger picture - you can't do this when watching via HDMI! I suspect this would be the same with any DVD Player but our immediate reaction was to watch via the SCART connection and hence at lower resolution. For wide format DVDs there is less of an issue as long as you don't mind the black lines top and bottom.

Screen ratio aside, the HDMI picture quality is very good. In truth you have to flick between HDMI and the SCART input to notice the real difference but - it is better! Mind you the non-upscaled reproduction is pretty good too.

I copied a DVD on my PC (using DVD Shrink - which reduces the data size to squeeze it onto a standard DVD-R disc). It wouldn't run properly on the Sumvision - it ran, and looked great, on the Samsung. You would never know it was a size-reduced copy.

Others have commented on the dim display. Yes it is dim and could be an issue if you don't have reasonable eyesight. The Sumvision display was so bright it was very distracting so dimmer is better in my view - but, in truth, it is a tad on the Dark Side - still, it never harmed Darth Vader.

The box was light on 'extras'. You get phono leads for audio and vidio connection but no SCART or HDMI cable. You get a Quick Start leaflet which does what it says on the front page and you get a very small print manual. You may need this a little because I pressed a button on the remote and lost the picture (HDMI) and couldn't get it back again via the remote - had to go back into set-up and set 'HDMI' output again. Still havn't sussed why that button does it - havn't got the zapper to hand but the button was labelled something like 'video ses'.

So overall I can thoroughly reccommend this Upscaling DVD Player, it's quite wide (which was a surprise after the dinky Sumvision) but has a low profile. It all worked a treat out of the box and IS STILL WORKING 48 HOURS LATER! Hooray!

By the way, I couldn't get my SD card into the Sumvision slot and make it read, I slipped it in but it felt too hard to push it down fully and I was afraid of breaking something.

One very small quibble with the remote is that you have to lie it down flat, I like remotes that have a flat end so you can stand them up to take up less space - I do have rather a lot of them.

Hope this helps you decide.

Cheers
