Very simplistic holder for the Handycam and a pocket for the spare battery. You don't need anything more

Great Camera, Great Price, 2008-10-16
I bought this camera largely based on reviews from the site. HAving previously had a Sony camera, and then a bad experience with another brand (largely my fault admittedly!) I was keen to return.

This camera has not dissappointed so far - it is very compact and I found the menu's to be largely intuitive. The buttons are not too difficult to use although the zoom could be a little smoother! Another minor gripe is that you can't zoom when filming, but then this is firstly a camera, so I'll not harp on.

The smile function has to be seen to be believed - it is a great fun tool (although I have found the subjects do need to be facing directly toward the camera for maximum effect) and has captured some really great shots.

Used recently at my brothers wedding, the camera performed well in both bright daylight, cloudier conditions, and in the dark function room later on for the all important first dance.

Given the price of around £100, I'd say this camera offers excellent value for money. Having since seen a friends W150 with the extra optical zoom, I'd say that the extra is worth it if you can stretch the budget!

Enjoy!

Sony ICF-C1IPMK2 Speaker Dock and Clock Radio with iPod Dock (Black)

Great, 2008-09-30
Thanks to the very specific reviews on Amazon in respect of looking for the Mk2 (thanks guys on .com) I took a leap of faith and bought this, and I'm glad to say it has delivered what I needed for my iPhone 3G.

I hate having to faff-around and was in the position of having to remove the silicone skin I have on the phone to put it into the 3G dock at night (even though it is quite thin). For me it's rendered the official dock (and extra cost!) rather obsolete but that's another story...

The adjustable wheel on this Sony has solved the problem and has allowed me to listen to all my podcasts easily.

Functionality to drive the phone through the remote control is better than expected and it charges fine.

The unit itself gives good sound quality (for the price) and has all of the functions you need in a clock radio.

To be fair, the overall design is a bit odd - it does look top heavy and I can understand why people may suspect instability - although I've applied pressure to a number of points and it seems ok. The top controls could probably do with some livening up colour wise, if I had to be picky.

The backlight is probably on a par with my old Phillips unit. Yes it's quite bright (although adjustable in three steps) but personally this doesn't bother me a jot.

Everything considered, a great little purchase.

Sony BDPS550 Profile 2.0 Blu-ray Player

• BD-ROM/R/RE, DVD-+Video/R/RW
• 7.1 Channel analogue output
• New Precision Cinema HD Upscale

Amazing quality player, 2008-12-20
This is my first Blu-Ray player but after looking at the few players available at present the Sony players are definitely better looking and are priced reasonably. I decided to get the BDP-S550 over the 350 as it has better audio connectivity for 7.1, has a 1GB memory card for BD-Live storage and has a backlit remote control.

It only takes 5-10 mins to setup but as soon as you pop in a Blu-Ray disc you will be blown away with the picture quality of this player. Discs take about 6 seconds to startup. If using a HDMI connection the player will upscale your old DVDs upto 1080p. The player is region 2 for DVDs but using a small hack using a One4All remote can easily be converted to play Region 1 DVDs but this cannot be done for Blu-Rays at present.

If you are thinking of purchasing a Blu-Ray player I guarantee that you won't be disappointed, highly recommended.

Extremely good value!!!!, 2008-04-02
I just could not believe how much this memory stick was, I had costed them up from high street stores and found that Amazon was at least 3 times cheaper !!

Sony CMT-SPZ90DB Micro Hifi System - With DAB Radio and Cassette Deck
Ordered this unit from Amazon arrived on the day stated well done Amazon.
This hi fi is one of the best I have owned loads of features no problem with the DAB reception but the aerial is flimsy for a Sony product but it works.
Just one word to the wise if you have other Sony items near this hi fi the remote control may activate these e.g. I have a Sony home theatre system close by and when i turn the hi fi onto stand by with the remote it will also switch on the home theatre system,so move it away from other Sony products you may have.one more thing the manual could be a bit more user friendly.other wise a first class product.

It's one of the best, 2008-12-05
I bought this Laptop a week ago and I can say that is one of the best in the market. I tried few ones before and never was satisfied. It looks good, easy to use and has many things that comes with it. So if you want a laptop that works anywhere and easy to carry this one is the one for you. WELL IT IS MY OPINION :)

Sony 60min Premium MiniDV Tape - 5 Pack

Excellent value for money and excellent tapes, 2006-10-21

Sony KDL-20S3000 - 20" Widescreen Bravia HD Ready LCD TV - With Freeview - Black

THE BEST YET, 2008-12-04
By markcus.
I fully agree with all the other KDL 20S3020 reviews on the picture and sound quality but I do have one niggle, i.e. no one touch sub-titles button. Most people will not need this feature but I do for the following reasons:
My wife has normal hearing and puts up with the sub-titles for my benefit; however it would be nice to turn these off if I'm not watching.
Even when I am watching there are times when the sub-titles are out of sync with the commentary as in news broadcast and sport commentaries etc.
To access sub-titles or cancel them requires TEN button presses, try it.
If anyone know of a shortcut please let me know.
Other than this at my age, 81, an easier to follow manual would be nice.
That said; don't go for anything inferior in quality Sony must be the best to date

Sony DVPNS708 DVD Player with 1080 Up-scaling - Black

• SONY DVD PLAYER
• 1 X HDMI CONNECTION
• MP3 PLAYBACK
• IN BLACK

Sony do it yet again., 2008-11-18
This has a great picture and really good sound. I've only had a few hours but this product is good. There are a few tiny little moans. The first is that even though it says i can work my TV from the remote vie a code, it just doesn't work. ( MY Tv being a LG LCD). The front is a bit basic but I like that but some won't.....Tiny things but all in all, its agreat DVD Player....
