Canon EOS 1000D - Amazing.

Advantages: light compact good camera
Disadvantages: annoying sized usb

...I think this camera is actually amazing. I'm really weak and found SLRs really annoying to use because my arms just ached after a while, but this camera is light weight and works just as well as any of the really heavy ones! Its also a reasonable size so no more having to take a HUGE camera anywhere. I would recommend the camera to beginners rather than people experienced in photography. It is quite simple how to use it, and then there's always auto mode for people who might not feel as adventurous with playing with things like the aperture. I fully recommend this camera it is worth the money and to be honest worth more. It's a decent camera and your going to get your moneys worth with it....

Behringer PB1000 effects pedal board

Advantages: Organises and powers up to twelve effects pedals
Disadvantages: A bit expensive to start out.

...to set up your pedals is open the carry case, place the lid somewhere safe and plug it in. You plug the board into the mains and the amplifier, then plug your instrument in the board. When it is time to pack up and go home you just unplug it and put the lid back on, you will need a third arm so that you can carry the guitar case in one, the amp in the second and the pedal board in the one you grew for the occasion. The case is tough plastic and will protect your expensive pedals from damage, as well as saving hours of plugging in all the cables and arranging them in the right pattern. The board has non-slip rubber feet so it stays where you put it, always a useful thing. The only thing that would make it better would be adjustable feet which would permit the board to be tilted so that it can be used when playing sitting...

1000 Tattoos

Advantages: Beautiful photography, loads of tattoos
Disadvantages: The text at the beginning is boring.

...I became obsessed with tattoos at a very young age; I would look for tattoos on people and often ask them what their tattoos meant and why they got them. Predictably at about 14 years old I started to want a tattoo. I pestered my Mum for two years solid and when I was 16 she thought she'd call my bluff. She marched me into a tattooist and told me to pick a tattoo and get it done there and then. She thought I would wimp out but I didn't and I still love the tattoo I got that day. I guess some people are just meant to get ink. Anyway, I digress the point in hand is the fabulous book, "1000 Tattoos". I found this little gem in a bookshop that was closing down for the princely sum of £1.00 although on Amazon copies are selling from £17.30 to £52.39. ~~~~~~ The cover of the book has tattoo photos on the front and back, the back being...

Pentax K1000

Advantages: Unlimited use
Disadvantages: Need to buy a flash separate

...In this age of high technology automatic electronic equipment it pays to take a step back to the simple things such as the Pentax K1000 camera. The fully manual 35mm SLR obviously requires complete user control but for the photographer who doesn’t want to be limited by a camera’s ability, this is the one for you. The only power needed is for the exposure meter from a small battery which is activated when the lens cap is removed. The built-in through-the-lens meter measures the average brightness of the ground glass at full aperture and then couples to the aperture, shutter and film speed settings. The shutter mechanism is completely manual meaning that the camera can still be used even when the battery is exhausted, with a little guess work for the exposure. The focal plane shutter extends from speeds B, 1 second to 1/1000...

Dell Vostro 1000

Advantages: Cheap and well spec'd
Disadvantages: No disadvantages when priced at £352

...of Dell laptops always seem to be getting better. I made the decision to buy. The snag I found was this Dell Vostro 1000 was a range that is only available to business customers. This wasn't really a major problem, as I could just buy it as a business. Purchasing as a business has a drawback, but it also has a pro point. The drawback to buying as a business is that the distance selling regulations only apply to consumers, so you cannot send it back within 7 days if you change your mind. The pro point is that the laptops tend to have less rubbish installed on them, than their equivalent consumer models. The specifcation of the Laptop I purchased was: AMD AthlonTM 64 X2 Dual Core Processor TK-53 (1.7GHz,512KB) 2GB RAM Integrated ATI Radeon® Xpress 1150 HyperMemoryTM 15.4" Wide Screen WXGA (1280x800) display 120GB Hard...

Review of Dell Vostro 1000

The Dell Vostro 1000

Advantages: price, durability, look, speed, memory
Disadvantages: N/A

...I bought the Dell Vostro 1000 for starting a Degree last september. The Vostro 1000 is marketed at businesses and as such is installed with Windows Vista Business. The laptop came with 2GB of RAM which is ample to run vista comfortably. The fact that the laptop is marketed for businesses has made no difference to me. In fact it has probably helped me with my degreee as it doesn't come with all the extra unnecessary rubbish that others do (e.g. solitaire, hearts etc)! The Vostro has been able to handle everything I have thrown at it; every game I have installed, the microsoft ultimate 2007 package, etc. The Dell Vostro 1000 is amazing quality for money and I would thoroughly recommend it, expecially for anyone on a limited budget. The battery once charged does not last for ages but it is not too bad at all; as with most laptops...

Dead as a Doornail

Advantages: Exciting and surprising novel
Disadvantages: too many non-human types

...Background: A few weeks ago I read the first book written by Charlaine Harris, 'Dead until Dark'. Following this I was keen to try another one from her, featuring Sookie Stackhouse as the heroine. So when I saw this one in my local charity shop I snapped it up. About the author: Charlaine Harris was born in Tunica in Mississippi on the 25th November 1951. Having spent her early years in employment as a Typesetter for Federal Express, she decided to try her hand at her big passion writing. Since then she has written 30 books of which eight have featured Sookie Stackhouse as her lead character. This novel I'm reviewing is the fifth in the series. Synopsis of the book: Sookie Stackhouse works as a Cocktail Waitress when she's not get into trouble. She is different from most as she is telepathic and can read other people...

Want 1000 Kisses?

Advantages: Stays put for ages as the advertising claims
Disadvantages: Can dry your lips out

...apply another lipstick or some lip gloss over it or keep licking your lips to give them some moisture. The shade I bought (Scarlet) is quite nice, although it's almost too bright red for my liking. It's quite difficult to get information on this range from the Rimmel website itself so you have to do some searching to actually find where you can buy it most cheaply and quite difficult to see what shades are available unless you actually find it in the shops. It's not a product I would strongly recommend as I don't like lipsticks that make your lips look all "peely" - it really is rather unattractive and the dry feeling on your lips is not so good either. Really 1000 kisses? No one's gonna want to kiss you 10 times let alone 1000 with this stuff drying your lips out! Rimmel 1000 Kisses lipstick has no taste or smell (that I can tell...

Pioneer CDJ-1000MK3 Review

Advantages: Greater functionality and ease of use
Disadvantages: Price

...This review is based on my experiences of using this product. It is not an in-depth look at its specification. This is a general review on the CDJ-1000MK3, and a comparison with the MK2. First, a little about my use of the product. I have been djing for over four years now, and started off on a pair of Numark turntables playing vinyl. As the times changed in line with the digital revolution, I, as well as other aspiring dj's, needed to start playing with digital equipment playing cd's. I have never owned a CDJ-1000 but have had extensive use of them in clubs and round at my friends house. Pro's Well where can I start? Firstly I would like to make it clear that the MK3's are the industry standard throught the club scene - any decent club night will have at least two of these installed. This is due to many things. The sound...

Bush DFTA1000/TECHNOSONIC SA201

Advantages: Freeview without a set-top box, cheap and cheerful
Disadvantages: Doesn't have the functionality of more expensive solutions

...comet store to see what cheap freeview boxes were available to use as an interim measure. I gave myself a budget of £50. There were quite a few costing less than that and for that price range you don't get much. Basically a freeview tuner with a built-in Electronic Program Guide. The one that caught my eye and that I subsquently bought was the Bush DFTA1000. There was also a Technosonic one which is exactly the same as the Bush had the same manual and was the same price. The only difference was the brand name. I bought the Bush product simply because I hadn't heard of Technosonic This must be the smallest freeview box available on the market. Its about the same size as a pack of cards and plugs directly into the scart socket of your TV or DVD player. It has an RF input into which you stick the lead from your rooftop ariel, an RF...
