ATA - I SAY NAY!

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: poor service all round

...We flew from Gatwick to Orlando on ATA in October 2000. Although the flights were ok the planes that we flew on where outdates and uncomfortable. To start with the planes were so old that they needed to refuel in Canada. The refuelling process requires all passengers to disembark (down steps into the cold Canadian weather) for safety purposes and then wait in a horrible terminal building for 45 minutes before getting back onto the same plane to carry on the journey. We left all of our belongings on the plan. This is not too bad if done during the day ? however, the return flight also requires that every passenger leave the plane. That?s no fun with three kids at one in the morning in the middle of October. Apart from having to disturb everyone?s sleep, they made us get of the plane via a stairway and walking across the tarmac to...

Ford F-150, most endurable, reliable truck out there

Advantages: Powerful, safe, comfortable, huge towing ability and masses of space in the bed
Disadvantages: fuel economy, rear leaf spring suspension

...a full dining set with 6 chairs along with other cabinets and the like. And for camping, I recently had a small motorbike, a full size BBQ, our tent, sleeping bags, wood for the fire, and 3 large ice boxes in the back along with a number of other small bits and pieces essential for camping. The bed just swallows stuff up - I would recommend the bed liner for anyone buying an F-150. I neglected to add this option and as such will be respraying the very scratched bed in the near future. The F-150 combines the comfort and space of a saloon car with the ability to tow/haul enough stuff for 2 families. The engine is smooth and reliable and the interior offers masses of space and comfort. The standard audio setup is more than adequate for those of you that enjoy loud music and there is tonnes of storage space as well as the option for a roof...

Sony Mr-v150 headphones review.

Advantages: samll lightweight, cofortable in prolonged use, cheap price
Disadvantages: none really

...Recently bought myself a pair of sony mdv150 head phones. I picked them up in tescos costing 12 pounds. In the past I have personaly owned about 25 pairs of head phones ranging from the very cheap to the quite expensive. These small light weight head phones are miles ahead of any of the other cheap head phones i Have tried and can even hold their own amongst the mid range ones i have used personaly. Now obviously these are not the worlds greatest headphones but for the price asked there is just no comparison in my honest opinion, they weight next to nothing are comfortable in prolonged use and are so versatile they are big enough to use for bedroom deejaying and small enough to wear while walking the streets without looking like a muppet. Sound quality is great and the cable is long enough to give you movement but not so long that you...

Olympus FE-150 Digital Camera Review

Advantages: Good quality, durable, long battery-life and easy-to-use
Disadvantages: use xD card (high price)

...Good quality, durable, long battery-life and easy-to-use are my preference in choosing a digital camera and this Olympus FE-150 responses all my need. Firstly, 5.0 Mega pixels delivers as much detailed pictures as an amatuer photographer needed. Many people believe that higher resolution digital cameras (e.g. 7.0M, 10.0M) produce better quality photos but it is not always true because many of them never turn-on 'Maximum' resolution to save memord card space. I'm using sub-maximum quality and it produces good quality photos for me. Secondly, I've used this camera for more than a year and it's metallic design makes it durable and easy-to-clean. It did accidentally fall to the ground for a few times but still working as good as it should. Thirdly, unlike some products, Li-ion rechargeable battery which is included in...

Sigma EX 150mm f/2.8 DG HSM APO Macro

Advantages: Optical quality. Build quality. Price.
Disadvantages: Could come free with Cornflakes?

...shoot macro on a FF (full frame) DSLR, the 150mm focal length is eminently more versatile. The Canon lens, doesn't come with a rotating tripod collar either. Indeed, this is an 'optional extra' which is extremely expensive. Such a device 'is' included with the Sigma. Also included, is a decent lens hood (also not included with the Canon lens) and a superb soft case. Bravo Sigma! Of course, if you use any other marque than Canon, the Canon lens isn't worth discussing! This lens is designated EX (Excellence), which in Sigma 'speak' means it is from their top-of -the-range professional models. It is also a DG (Digital Grade) lens, meaning it has all the latest coating technology to help prevent flare and 'ghosting' from light being reflected back off the shiny digital imaging sensor in modern DLSR cameras. The good news is, it really does...

Review of Sigma EX macro lens - 150 mm

Sigma AF 150mm APO f/2.8 HSM

Advantages: Crips, sharp, contrast full images; silent focusing; f/2.8 apature
Disadvantages: no image stabiliser

...This listing on ciao doesn't have a model number for focal length so I am going to review the Sigma APO 150mm f/2.8 Macro lens Before I purchase products I do extensive research on them; I read magazines and scour the internet looking for absolutely every bit of information I can before I buy. When deciding on buying this lens it was no differentl; I must have ready 2-3 magazines reviews and a dozen internet review sites before deciding which macro lens to purchase The reasearch I conducted showed that there two VERY good macro lenses available; the Sigma 150mm f2.8 and the Canon 100mm f/2.8. After investigating these two lenses further I found that the Canon was contiously rated as the best possible Macro lens (in the price category - there are Canon L series macro lenses which would cost 4 times the price) but the Sigma was...

Review of Sigma EX macro lens - 150 mm

Samsung M150 a very cheap phone

Advantages: Really cheap, lots of features for the price, long battery life
Disadvantages: Screen easily get scratched and can easily connect to the internet by accident

...The Samsung M150 is a really good phone especially when the price is only £20 with £10 air time from Tesco mobile. I was looking for a inexpensive but good quality phone after swapping networks. I chose this phone because of its price tag and am glad i did. So the thing most people choose their phone on, the look. Well i have to say that if your looking for something fancy this is not the phone for you, its basic and discrete with a black finish. Perfect for getting chucked around. So how easy are the keys to use. Im aged 14 and find this phone really easy to use on the whole. However the directional pad is difficult to use and this phone would be really hard to use if you have large fngers and struggle to keep them still. The battery life on this phone is incredible, i charged it up and left it running on Tuesday last week...

Ref 150 Mk II

Advantages: sound quality easlly high enough for true hi fi stereo applications, flexibility, controls, price
Disadvantages: understated looks, no go faster branding.

...This is a personal review of the MJ Acoustics Ref 150 mkII as owner of this product. I have run an Audio Note valve SET system for a couple of years now, having migrated from Solid State and huge power amps and tower speakers to the flea powered world of valve amplifiers and efficient horn/hybrid speakers. Thus this review is primary based on observations in my own valve system which consists of components of a pretty high quality to start with. Setting up. Allow a full day to do this, a weekend or whatever. The sub arrived in substantial box, well packed, and is supplied with: RCA lead (5m), Speakon lead (5m), power cord, 4 x optional floor spikes, remote, separate remote eye sensor, user manual. I set up the Ref 150 to run from the RCA pre-out connection, preferring this to the high level Speakon connection. I did try...

Review of Mj Acoustics REF 150

Cheap, Loud, Hot, and Turbulent...Just Like Me

Advantages: kind of cheap, on time, cool head rests on some planes
Disadvantages: no space, loud, turbulent, hot, not THAT cheap

...American Trans Airlines (ATA) is one of the most budget of all the budget airlines in the USA. When my aunt went to Boston's Logan Airport to pick me up, she couldn't find ATA's monitors listing flight information... because they DON’T HAVE ANY in Logan! ATA also claims that their website has up-to-date flight info, but it doesn't. The baggage carousel was not labelled either, so we had to wander around a bit to figure out where my bag was going to be spit out. However, I shouldn't really complain too much since I arrived safely on four ATA flights, without having to shell out too much dough and with my luggage intact. However, the flights were pretty unpleasant, so I do have a lot of criticisms about this airline. I flew on ATA from Boston to Los Angeles and back, with a stop-over in Chicago both times. ATA has a hub in...
