Power shooting G5

Advantages: Instant results,
Disadvantages: None

...of the G5 is 118,000 pixels and the G3 is 113,578 pixels. The G5, being my third digital camera, I was not quite so frightened of it, as I had been with the others, so I looked up in the manual, to find out how to turn it on. By the way, surprisingly, the manual is very good, and explains most things quite well. Just right of the hot shoe, on the top of the camera is the power on/off button, a circular knob with a bit sticking out at the back. Push this ?sticking out? bit to the right, which makes it point to the camera pic seen in front of the knob, and we are turned on in ?record? mode. Push the other way to point to the arrow, and we are in ?playback? mode. To turn the camera off, push down the central button marked ?off? found in the middle of the circular knob. If you want to change from record mode to playback mode...

Channel 5 Madness

Advantages: good fun, great presenter, some good songs and guests you get into the spirit of it
Disadvantages: the monkey, Danielle Nichols, mostly B-rated celebs

...Night Fever is on Channel 5 from 6:50pm til 7:45pm on Saturdays. It is great fun to watch, as it looks as if the people involved are loving every minute too. It is masterfully presented by Madness frontman and long-time stalwart of pop music, Suggs. He is assisted by the rather annoying Danielle Nichols of CITV fame. The show is basically a boys versus girls karaoke competition, where teams of often B-rated celebs compete against each other. Occasionally, you get someone interesting, but let's face it, you're more likely to get Kirsten O' Brien from CBBC or someone you vaguely recognise from an Australian soap opera. But this is Channel 5 after all and I doubt the budget for this programme is very high. This Saturday's show was filmed in front of an audience of pre-teens, making Suggs' job much harder, as they were peering...

Review of Channel 5 - Night Fever

No sex and its on channel 5

Advantages: n/a
Disadvantages: n/a

...Greed is Channel 5’s entry into the ‘big money’ quiz shows. Channel 5 does host some of its own quiz shows, but so far they have been pretty poor, Greed seems to make up for this. It’s not as good as Who Wants to be a Millionaire (ITV) or The Weakest Link (BBC) which have both taken off in other countries, but it is quite an addictive show to watch. Its hosted by Jerry Springer of ‘The Jerry Springer show’ you know the one where the audience all seem to chant ‘Jerry…..Jerry’ all of the time. It’s a show you must have seen, if not, just where have you been?! If you have watched it you’ll know that Jerry Springer is someone you will either love or hate. I like him, he seems very fair on his shows and he doesn’t annoy me like some hosts. If you can remember ‘...

Review of Channel 5 - Greed

Channel 5 - At Least There's an Alternative

Advantages: Unique, alternative programs and viewpoint
Disadvantages: Doesn't fit everyone's tastes

...It would seem that everyone and their dog think that Channel 5 air nothing but filth and is completely useless. I have to disagree, as C5 air programs that the other networks wouldn't consider. They fund alternative material with topics and opinions that fall through the cracks at BBC et al. I can remember when the network was conceived as a copy of hugely popular Canadian Network City TV. City was and still is one of the most powerful media operations in Canada, all from a channel that was built on three pillars: News, Movies, Music. The C5 people added sport to that mix, but stayed quite faithful, even copying the newsroom and presentation style exactly. It was the unique alternative programs that put City TV on the map, and C5 is moving in the same direction. C5 is most often criticized for their airing of adult programs. City...

Review of Channel 5

Is channel 5 this good

Advantages: Regular 9pm movies and a formal approach
Disadvantages: Advertisements in the middle of films

...Well where shall i start. When channel 5 first started, I had serious trouble getting a clean picture without the little white spots. But even still now i still get the spots. The only way i get a clear picture is if I watch it threw my sky. Well i think 5 is booming and should have a higher rating and more respect from the fellow channels. Why well let me point out. Its formal. even during the news there relaxed and even have a laugh at the end. The pre film sponsor clips are also very amusing. Just one question though. What did happen to lovely gerbil? Well I'm always in front of the TV about 9pm every night as the range of movies that are shown are quite good. I love the fact that they have bond season showing every bond movie each week. or a season of stallone season. Keeps me keen. The new programs and the TV stars are...

CHANNEL 5 NEWS

Advantages: easy to understand
Disadvantages: on channel 5 so not everyone will be able to watch it

...Channel 5 news is probably, the next step up after you've watched newsround, but your still not ready to take on the BBC1 6oclock news. Like any other news station they give the latest news updates but in a way that is easy to understand and take in without it being patronising. For many news stories, they give you a top5 facts, which gives you a background to the subject mentioned. for example the other day I remember them doing the top 5 facts on the Real IRA. They also bring in news stories about well known celebrities as well as the political stories featured in all the other news broadcasts. My favourite part of the show is the Winners and Losers of the Day, the winners people who have had a successful day the losers, being people who have had days they wish they could forget....

five by five for channel 5

Advantages: good range
Disadvantages: so people can't get channel 5 very well

...Channel 5 , I SOOOOOOO, SOOOOOOO hate the way some people keep going on and on and on about how bad channel five shows are , why do they keep baging them out , when so many other people love what they show i for one am one of the people that love channel five most nights they have a film on at nine, that just a nice time to sit down and watch a film not to late if you need to get up for work , i think they have a good range of shows some for the young some for the old and some for the not young not old range . i was one of the lucky people that could get channel five right from the start and think many people have missed out on some good show and maybe it would be good if they show some from the start , i also love the channel five website when you what to know about some show you can email them and the get back to you in just...

  Canon S5 IS - One of the "top" cameras! My review

Advantages: Easy to use, many functions, quality, ultra-zoom... etc
Disadvantages: It's hard to find in shops, no RAW

...ISO Shift * 2.5" vari-angle LCD (a rotating LCD!!!! I had to have it) * 22 shooting modes * Accessories include Speedlite flashes THE CAMERA AND ITS FEATURES OVERVIEW The Powershot S5 IS is first of all a great looking camera with lots of functions and professional optics with an incredible zoom for being a not-professional model.

Review of Canon PowerShot S5 IS

  Powershot S5 is - A lot of camera in a smallish package

Advantages: Good image quality at lower ISO, excellent specs, great for macro.
Disadvantages: High ISO noise, soft focus at maximum zoom.

...have either of these as they are expensive and of limited use so I cannot review these, however, my past experience with converter lenses has been that adding extra elements in the form of a converter lens lowers the quality of the image when used in conjunction with the main lens. The zoom range of this lens is 6?72mm (which is the 35mm equivalent of a 36-432mm lens), which means that you have a range from moderate wide-angle to quite a powerful telephoto, it has a maximum aperture of f/2.7-3.5, which is not bad for a lens of this type, it is wide enough to allow the use of a reasonably fast shutter speeds in normal daylight situations, zooming is done by a lever situated in front of the shutter release button. The quality of this lens is pretty good, with barrel and pincushion distortion being well controlled, sharpness is good...

Surely the amp of the decade!

Advantages: Simple Operation. Ease of set up. Fantastic value for money. Great sound.
Disadvantages: None

...I have reasonable faith that this type of sound will not be able to be purchased elsewhere for maybe many times that amount. The amp has it all in abundance. If you want power then you have 250watts per channel to play with. I personally cannot dare to take the amp higher than the twelve o clock mark for fear of waking the dead! Donot expect tone/ bass/ treble buttons on this baby it has none. Its all in the box. The amp does that for you. Dont believe me? Then why not give one a audition yourself. Go on I dare you! A amp really really worth a listen. Rommer O yeah the amp is phono ready and has ports for SCD/ CD/ TUNER/ etc...
