Advantages: choice of colors, build, sonics, simplicity Disadvantages: None, can you think of any?
Y'know, let me nail my colours to the mast here and declare that I am definately and positively in love with the whole Rega Line, and for good reason.
The Rega planar 3 is a superb VFM player with good tweaking potential, put an Ortofon Moving Coil cartridge in [MC15 mkII for eg.] and you'll have a big grin on your face.
It's ideal for students, being under £300, or you can buy it s/h or ex demonstration/shop soiled. Operation and maintenance is simple, cant program your VCR? No problem! even your mother or girlfriend would understand how to use the Rega.
OK so I'm biased perhaps as I do own a [heavily tweaked] mkI Planar3, but remember this table sounds good because it's so simple.
No, it won't cue and play your LPs or change speed at the press of a button, nor return the arm to the start -- you have to do everything ...

Advantages: Great first timer camera with easy to use functions Disadvantages: Hard to see screen with sunlight behind you
This has got to be one of the best cameras I have ever used. It has so many easy to use features and is especially ideal for those with little or no camera experience. This camera is ideal for taking pictures of everyday life, and I have found it is especially good at taking close up pictures of family and for days out. It is so compact and the accessories available are compact too. Compared to my other camera Canon EOS300D, this actually does better photos and better quality pictures.
There are also many little extras and I especially like the small compact tripod for night pictures etc since it is foldable to approx 5 inches long and comparable to carrying a couple of biros.
Overall a five star product, nicely designed and at a great price. Well recommended ...
Advantages: Great value for money, High resolution, Wide zoom, Large Screen Disadvantages: No rangefinder, black and white manual
.1x optical zoom is a lot more than 3x or 4x which is standard in most other digital camers these days. This is because it allows you to take pictures of images very far away which you would have to move much closer to with a camera with only 3x or 4x times digital zoom. Another point is that this camera is very easy to use, and desptie the large range of functions and features this camera has, It is very easy to use them and I have only had to consult the guide manual on very few occasions. The camera also has a very nice look to it and is also very slim, the same thickness as most other digital cameras.
The 2.5" tft screen is also very useful and is large enough for you to be able to take very precise and accurate shots as well as being able to use the colour balancing features to the greatest effect. As well as this, the lithiom ion ...
