Canon Powershot SX200 IS

Advantages: Lots of zoom, lots of pixels, sturdy
Disadvantages: No internal memory, flash pops up whether you want it to or not

...I bought this camera recently as I purchased a Canon EOS1000D DSLR and I wanted a compact digital with a large zoom for the times when I didn't feel like lugging the DSLR and all it's accessories around with me. I'd looked around at other models, and I know that there are many other cameras that offer a much higher zoom, but I finally settled on this one for a number of reasons. a) 12 million pixels. This is more than I'll probably ever need as it's very rare that I print anything above 8x10 but it was an upgrade on my previous digital compact. b) 12x optical zoom. This is more than adequate for general photography, any more and I think you do probably need a tripod. c) NB-5L Li-Ion Battery. This is just a personal preference but I prefer the rechargeable Li-Ion batteries. It's fairly cheap to buy a couple of spares and I...

Review of Epson SX200

Printing made easy and cheap!

Advantages: Works fantastically well and is very inexpensive.
Disadvantages: ?

...When the need arose for a new printer there was only ever one name in the frame and that name was Epson. Epson for years now have been top of the field when it comes to printing from home and even their top of the range printers get full marks from the pro printers and photographers. I have very limited printing needs so when my eyes caught sight of the Epson SX200 I thought that it would be perfect and after several weeks of use I can honestly say I was correct. This printer makes it so easy to copy, scan, and print everything from basic text documents to colour photos it is unbelievable. The Durabrite inks that it uses offer great photo reproduction but don't worry if you are looking to replace genuine Epson inks with compatible cheaper options then this printer does accept those inks even though Epson would have us believe...

Accessories

Advantages: cheap, plenty to choose from
Disadvantages: staff seem miserable

...Claire's accessories is a shop for the females. It's mainly young children and teenagers that shop here but you do find older women here too. The shop sells:- hair accessories nail varnish belts purses jewellery and more You can also have your ears pierecd here too. I've been in the shop a couple of times now to buy hair accessories and nail varnish. There is a wide range of items to choose from in different colours. As soon as you go through the door though, they are lunging a hand basket at you. If you do not take one they do not seem too pleased about it either. When you are paying for your goods, they always ask if you want to buy the bargain of the day like a nail file. They do not seem to be satisfied with what you take to the counter at all. The shop is quite small but it does sell plenty of items. It...

Accessories and more

Advantages: good little accessories, good bargains
Disadvantages: crowded, staff not always pleasant

...I know a lot of people that when you say Claire's Accessories they would say oh that shop for teenagers but it isn't for them only, it's for girls in general. Females I should maybe say it sells a lot of things that are not too expensive but very nice still. From the branches I have been in I have seen them sell make-up, nail accessories, bags, books and so many things. This shop is not only in the UK because I saw t in America so I don't actually know where it started. One main thing I know this shop for is piercing ears they are trained I'm sure but I don't think I could trust anyone. They pierce ears usually right at the front of the shop and everyone can watch, they will probably be fine but they could do it away from the customers buying and I have heard that not all of the staff here actually know how to pierce. I love...

Claire's untidy, expensive accessories

Advantages: No queues as they're never busy
Disadvantages: expensive and cluttered

...Claire's accessories moved to Harlow a few years ago, much to the delight of everyone as it was a welcome newcomer being that it was the first specialist hair-care and odds'n'ends shop in the town. Up until then we had to rely on a market stall or small ranges offered by various other shops and supermarkets. I give it fair ratings that the stuff they offer is in keeping with current trends, keeping today's girls whatever age kitted out in the fashion, but (always a but) the shop needs a little attention in the following areas: It's not just school age girlies who want to be trendy so how about making it a little less cluttered for us 'mumsies' to get a pushchair around inside without the worry of knocking the person next to you out with the swing of a Tesco's carrier? I've only got a single pushchair so I pity those with a double...

A Range of Accessories but It's Too Small!

Advantages: a large range of accessories, good bags
Disadvantages: the shop is too small, it's overpriced for what it is

...Claires Accessories is a shop MORE for teenagers but adults and younger children do tend to find something in there to their liking. I'm not a regular shopper at Claires and when I go shopping I normall y just have a quick browse and leave or buy something. Layout and Presentation Claires Accessories is a very small shop and it is filled to the brim with accessories. Every single wall is covered with shelfs or hooks with bags and other things hung on them. Theres also rotating display racks with loads of earings. The lighiting is okay, it's not too bright nor is it dim. It's a bit claustrophobic exspecially when it's crowded. Presentation wise, it's a bit messy and staff could put a bit more effort into keeping the shop tidy. Selection and Range There is a range of accessories in Claires, these are bracelets, neclaces, earings...

Accessories for the young at heart

Advantages: Very colourful with lots of things instore
Disadvantages: Expensive

...Claire's Accessories is, I know, mainly for the kids and teenagers. I shop in here mainly over Christmas time for the kids in my family, but have been known to do the odd bit of shopping in there for myself! They are not really all that cheap. I have bought 3 hairbands in there, 2 of which have subsequently broken, 1 is still in good working order! The last one I bought cost £2.50. They also do ear-piercing. The sign outside said from £6.99. Not as cheap as some places, but this store is a national chain store, and would cost more. When you first look at the store, it's very colourful with plenty of bits and bobs in to buy from hair accessories, purses, bangles nail varnish, bags and jewellrey. They also have reduced and buy 1 get 1 free on selected items. They have also been known to do fancy dress costumes, ie...
