Superb Compact Flash card

Advantages: Performance and speed
Disadvantages: Higher cost than lower level models

Having bought this card to be used in Canon EOS 20D & 40D digital cameras they are extremely rapid and much better than the lower speed Sandisk Compact Flashes or other makes. The cameras have not as yet had to stop shooting to allow the card to catch up to write data during picture taking even in rapid fire sports mode. Have had no failure with data capture and have been used in extreme temperatures, holiday in Australia (39C) and a family wedding in Austria (-10C). The cards didn't seem to lose any performance in the big changes in temperature which can occur with lesser models. I would thoroughly reccomend these cards to anyone prepared to spend that little bit extra the performance justifies the cost. Look out for sale offers on them to make them really good value for money. ...

Review of Sandisk Extreme III Compact Flash CF 2GB 2048 MB

From monster to model in a flash?

Advantages: Immediate radiance of skin, great with foundation
Disadvantages: Cost

The Beauty Flash Balm was not the first product that I tried, but having had success with various Clarins cleansers, toners and moisturisers without any bad reactions from my skin, I was looking for something which would brighten up my skin after one too many late nights or lack of sleep. Of course there is no substitute for 8 hours sleep, but sometimes we do need a little help to make up for our excesses! This seemed a good option to try. The Product and its claims: The main statement made by Clarins is that ...

Review of Clarins Beauty Flash Balm

StarTech S-VIDEO to USB 2.0 capture cable

Advantages: Small, cheap, does what it says on the box
Disadvantages: none

I had to transfer some old VHS into DVD for convenience so I did browse the internet looking for something really good yet easy to use and most important not expensive. I found a lot of very good reviews about this product, so I decided to give it a go and bought one, well I have to say that it works beautifully, the manual is very clear, the installation was a breeze, the software bundled is very useful and whilst I'm writing the device is currently helping me to transfer my 10th tape and counting... The video output is surprisingly good in particular using the composite input, I checked with "graphedit" the directshow codecs used and they are the one provided by the bundled software, however because the device is a WDM compliant device you can use any capture software that will convert to MPEG2 with better codecs, again this is just ...
