Contax S 2

Contax G2 by Mark Packer

Advantages: Lenses, Build, Feel
Disadvantages: Viewfinder, Flash, Auto focus, noise

I was excited about this camera. I wanted a light system that I could take anywere and I had read many good things about the lenses and build quality. I sold by Nikon N90s and most of my lenses to buy the G2 with 45mm and flash. I also purchased the 28mm and the 90mm and got a $700 rebate from Contax. Great deal! I wanted to love this camera- I really did. And there was much to love- superb lenses. fantistic build, great feel. But after using it for about two years, there were two things I could not get used to. The viewfinder was terrible- small and dark. I expected more for a camera the size of the G2- perhaps the view similar to a Leica M. It was more like the view that a point and shoot would have. The second problem was the flash. I was used to the wonerful fill flash Nikon produces, so the limits of the TLA 200 were ...

Review of Contax G2

The Skypephone S2

Advantages: Good camera, easy to use and lots of different applications available to download.
Disadvantages: Easy to damage and break and can be considered to small.

Okay so as you can probably tell from the name, the skypephone S2 is not just a normal phone, it is a phone that offers free Skype calls forever. Skype calls are phone calls made from the phone to another phone through a Skype account for no charge at all. Basically, if you and your friends all have a Skype account it means you can call each other for free. You can use the phone to make normal phone calls as well, but for people with a Skype account this is an added bonus. The phone has a great large clear screen which really helps to enable the user to utilize the phone easily and with no problems. One problem I found with the screen is it does get damaged and scratched quite easily. I pulled the phone out of my pocket one day and I noticed a big black mark in the middle of the screen - the kind of mark you get when you press ...

Review of Three Skypephone S2

Honda Accord 2.4 S

Advantages: It's fast, superb gear change, rides and handles well
Disadvantages: Tiring engine, lots of gear changing, high CO2

. Having purchased mine in March, by the time we arrived at Millbrook, it had covered around 8,000 miles. To me it needed no "launching"! The previous year I had taken the opportunity to try the base model 2.0 petrol, that car was returned to the salesman with a simple comment, 'nice car shame about the engine'. Now, I'm going to guess that perhaps one or two of you reading this are going to be challenging me on that point. I drive a Honda XYZ and it has a GREAT engine I can hear you saying. Yes, Honda makes brilliant engines, but until they launched the diesel, most definitely not for me?? ??let me explain. I am a company car driver, fairly high up the tree of a 60 year old family business. Before you say it, no I'm not the average 80 year old Honda Accord driver! I am however a fairly mature early 40's guy with a slightly younger ...
