Impatience Is A Virtue? So Buy This Phone Pronto!

Advantages: Easy to use, lots of features
Disadvantages: Disappointing camera, no GPS

...I?ve always been a fan of Samsung mobile phones, having had and liked several in the past therefore after a brief hiatus from Samsung where I owned an HTC Touch HD phone I thought it was time for a change therefore my first thought inevitably was going to be to go for a much trusted Samsung phone. After doing a lot of research into new phones on the market I was briefly interested in the Nokia 5800 Xpress phone however after having a play around with it in the shop I came to the speedy conclusion that it?s not all it?s cracked up to be and made a quick diversion back onto the internet to look for a more suitable device for me. I seemed to be getting nowhere until one night an advert for the new Samsung Jet popped up on my TV with the tagline ?impatience is a virtue?, coupled with it?s sleek and stylish looks I thought that I must...

Review of Samsung GT S8000 Jet

Looks The Part, But You Won't Respect It In The morning

Advantages: Great camera and media centre
Disadvantages: Diabolical GPS, Text, and use of internet due to sensitivity, and like a Mogwi never get it damp.

...moved on a little too quickly. PATIENCE!!! PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE!!! Remember those adverts for the Samsung Jet phone? If you believed the advertising the Jet would make you totally desirable, and lead you into a hedonistic lifestyle of orgies and wild parties. Feeling a little amiss on these things I felt it was only right to invest in a Jet and watch my sexual status climb to the levels where I would truly be A SEX GOD! It seems however I have not been patient enough, and nobody has dragged me to a bed defrocking me (on masse may I add) as shown in the advert to the proud own of a Jet phone, how?s it happened to him I ask, I got my phone on the release date, yet he has all the women already. Damnit!!! I?ve been conned, because sex does sell just like all those boffins tell us. Seriously though, my Samsung Jet was indeed sexy, and even if I...

PDX-8000

Advantages: LED display
Disadvantages: gIMMICKY

...We all know that Technics turntables are the industry standard. In radio stations, bars, clubs and homes up and down the land Technics are the choice that most people make when selection a turntable. At one point, however, Vestax were challenging Technics to their crown. The PDX-8000 was one of their flagship products and was the one that was a direct threat to the Technics SL1210. There are a few functions of this turntable that make it stand out from the rest: 1 - The LED display. As far as I am aware, this was one of the first turntables to have an LED display built in. The screen shows you what the current pitch range is (this can be set to -3 to +3, -6 to +6 or -12 to +12), it also displays the current pitch. 2 - Control stick. You can move the control stick to speed up or slow down the speed of the platter temporarily. This is...

Review of Vestax PDX8000

Trek 8000 bike, move over Mr Porsche

Advantages: Top Quality, first class frame
Disadvantages: a few cheap components

...BEWARE: full of bikers stuff. A long long time ago I was an avid mountain bike fan. There were times when I was covering over 100 miles a day and clearing 10000 miles a year. So I ran quality bike s that would get me around quickly and with minimal effort. I was a cycle courier for a time whilst I decided what to do with myself and on starting a career jib stopped cycling and eventually sold my expensive bikes on. About 3 years ago I bought a Trek 8000 mountain bike. I bought this in a sale for £1100 pounds. I did my home work and came up with the 8000 as a good all round cross country bike that would give me all I needed for a lot less than I used to pay. FRAME. My bike has to be big as I am 6'3". So I opted for the largest I could get. They come in various sizes in inches which your local supplier can advise you on, which...

Review of Fujifilm FinePix S8000FD

Fantastic Classy Camera Which Takes Amazing Pictures

Advantages: Fantatic Picture quality, fantastic camera.
Disadvantages: Shutter Lag, Load Up Time, Reliability is unknown, seems flimsy in some places.

...For years I?ve always wanted an SLR, I do love taking pictures, however I have never gone to enough places to take gorgeous pictures before, so have always put off against buying it. However as some of you know, I?m going to University in September to study media production, which includes photography, and I realised that if I really wanted to do good within that particular module, maybe my little Kodak wouldn?t be good enough, so I popped on down to my nearest Curry?s. Other reasons for buying another camera was the fact that my nan has just got into photography and after borrowing my camera for a few weeks I could tell she was enthralled. Please remember this review is going to be based at the everyday person who wants to buy a camera, I?m not doing photography properly yet, so all of the big terms are foreign to me at the moment...

Review of Olympus µ[mju:] Tough 8000

Classy camera, classy photos!

Advantages: See review.
Disadvantages: Very few.

...Are you at that stage where your point and shoot digital camera is not quite giving you the pictures that you require but you do not yet feel comfortable with moving on to a DSLR? Well here's the camera for you, known as a bridge type camera the Fujifilm S8000fd offers you the choice of taking brilliant photos on auto mode where the camera does all the adjustments for you or the chance to take control of aperatures, white balance and ISO`s to choose exactly the outcome you require for each photo you take.

Fuji FinePix S1500. Descendant of the S1000fd

Advantages: Huge zoom, Focus Tracking, Easy to use
Disadvantages: Bulky, A little slow, AA batteries are a bit inconvenient

...The Fuji FinePix S1500 is the latest incarnation of the very successful FinePix S1000fd. It is very SLR-like in appearance and the added bulk of the battery-holder/grip does give it an assured feeling in your hands. Of course, this can be a disadvantage, and if you want a camera that you can just slip in-and-out of your pocket, then maybe a slimmer compact should be considered. The 12x optical zoom is excellent and it equates to 33-396mm in 35mm terms - and if this isn't enough, there is a 5.7x digital zoom feature too. The menus are friendly and easy to navigate, and there are helpful explanatory prompts that appear on thew LCD screen when the mode-dial setting is changed. There are 14 preset scenes to choose from, each setting the camera to its optimum settings for the given scenario, but on top of this, the camera can be used...

Review of Fujifilm FinePix S1500

You've been papped.

Advantages: Easy to use, very professional
Disadvantages: Lots of features which I am yet unsure of

...opted for the Fujifilm FinePix S8000FD which I know is one of the best cameras there is to buy and it is 8 megapixels. There are five main features to this camera and although i'm no expert at using all the specifications I have mastered the basics for now. The Fujifilm FinePix S8000FD has: (1) 18x Optical Zoom - with this zoom I can zoom in 18x and take pictures of things which are quite close up or far away. What I really like to do is take a series of photos at different angles to make a collage. (2) Face Detection - When aiming your camera at something to take a photograph this camera will automatically zoom into a face and focus on it whilst at the same removing red-eyes automatically. (3) Dual IS (Image Stabilization) - I use this function if I am taking a shot of something moving, it allows the camera to capture...
