Panasonic PT AX 100 E

Advantages: Works in relatively bright conditions, quiet
Disadvantages: unreliable, very big, short bulb life

...Updated review. I have been using the Panasonic PT AX 100E as my main TV, in conjunction with a freeview box and a DVD player, for just over a year now. I paid £900 for it then, but the price has dropped and even the improved PT AX200 can now be bought for about £700. The reason for the low rating is because of it's unreliability and Panasonic's inability to fix it when it went wrong, as described below. In all other respects it is a very good projector. The picture quality is extremely good in a dark room and quite watchable during the day even with the curtains open for all but the darkest movies. In bright conditions the colours can become a little washed-out although there are various viewing options on the remote control to compensate a little. For some very dark films however you should wait until the room can be blacked out...

Review of Panasonic PT-AX 100E

AX.. great AXE

Advantages: Great looks and sound
Disadvantages: Hard to find cases

...~Intro~ I bought my ESP AX 260 last year. I had been playing guitar for about Three years and was looking for a better quality guitar than my previous, a Crafter Strat. I had looked online and had a reasonable idea of what I wanted, and so I went down to my local guitar shop. When I got there they had a range of ESP guitars, but not the one I originally wanted. I had originally wanted an ESP F Series guitar. The guitar that they did have, and that caught my eye, was a shiny, black, ESP AX260! I tried the guitar in shop (as I recommend you do when you buy a guitar,) encase it looked great but sounded awful. It didn't. In-fact it played like a dream and sounded wonderful. BUT, that day I left the shop empty handed. I had not brought enough money with me. When I returned with enough money the guitar was sold!! I had to get the guitar...

Citroen AX GT

Advantages: Cheap tax and cheap to run
Disadvantages: Flimsy bodywork and panels

...Just over a year ago I decided to buy my boyfriend a car. I managed to get my hands on a black J-reg Citroen AX GT with around 78000 miles. It was a bargain at only £200. I thought the car was great to start with, however my boyfriend was almost in tears the first time he saw the car. He thought it was awful and a total waste of money. The car stood for three months collecting bird droppings on the road, until one day my man decided that he did indeed like the car. My boyfriend is now besotted with ?Esmeralda?, and has started the work in modifying her. Getting her through the MOT was expensive, and new tyres cost more than the actual car. The Citroen AX GT is a very good car, if you manage to get a hold of a good example. The max speed of ours is a very respectable 100+ mph, and we are sure that there is more power under...

Canon Ixus 100 IS - Small and oh so stylish

Advantages: Small, Stylish, Auto modes work well, Image Stabilization
Disadvantages: HD Video capability is disappointing

...The Canon Ixus 100 IS is the successor to the Ixus 85 IS model, now with 12.1 megapixels instead of the old 10. The 2.5" screen is retained, as is the optical viewfinder and the 3x zoom capability, but the Ixus 100 IS is packed with new features. Video can now be recorded in HD (720p format) and an HDMI port has been added for viewing your pics on the latest HD televisions. The 100 IS also gets a new DIGIC 4 processor, Autofocus Tracking and Auto Scene Detection! The dimensions have changed in proportion, being a whole millimetre wider than its predecessor, another millimetre taller, but 2mm slimmer with an incredible depth of only 18.4mm. The weight stays about the same at less than 130g and, being similar in size to an iPod, it is very easy to carry around in your shirt pocket/handbag. Indeed, the similarity with the iPod doesn...

Citroen AX - One of the real hot hatches

Advantages: Ecomomy , superb performance , handling , lightweight , small , very cheap
Disadvantages: niggles mainly but if i have to , slight rust in small places and its electrics

...First of all i would like to say that these are one of the best cars out there , both for economy and performance depending upon the model purchased. I own two ax's , one is a 1.1 salsa model and the other is a 1.4 gt (carb), both models are on a g plate (1990) , the economy and drive of the one litre is fantastic , low tax , low insurance , excellent return on fuel , with the only two downsides being , long journeys are a bit of a longshot , due to its small engine capacity will struggle with the distance and constant high speeds will generate quite a bit of heat. The GT model is honestly one of the better hot hatchbacks available , it offers once again excellent fuel economy and the twin choke carb 1400 cc engine offers superb performance for its capacity due to its lightweight chassis. Another benefit of this car is the cost...

100 Reviews = 100 Questions? Perhaps.

Advantages: There are some brilliant songs in there...
Disadvantages: I ramble on for too long about nothing of any interest...but please read anyway!

...Hello all of you lovely Ciaosters - and Mizzaholics alike - and welcome to my 100th review! Quite an achievement, I must say, because my attention span isn't exactly great *walks off to look at an invisible butterfly* Point taken? Anyway - I figured that since this is my 100th review, it would be nice to do the 'Reveal Yourself In 100 Questions' task. Some of these answers might be slightly bizarre but I hope that you'll have read some of my previous things so that you know exactly what to expect...sort of... This review is only slightly longer than many of my others *coughIrambleonalotcough* but please enjoy this Q&A session at your own leisure. There are youtube links along with way to enhance your reading pleasure so I hope you make good use of them. Thank you. Without further ado, let me introduce to you... 1 - First Name...

Nippy AX

Advantages: Cheap on tax, insurance and fuel.
Disadvantages: Flimsy bodywork

...Hi, I bought a Citroen AX Echo 1.1 a few years ago just before car prices went down and it cost me a whopping £4000 for an M reg which at the time was about 4 years old. The fuel economy on this little machine was phenomenal, I was getting around 60 - 70 mpg even on the motorway. As you can tell just by looking at one of these they have a very individual identity. I desperatly wanted to modify my car and bought this because it is a 'hot hatch' and thought it would be easy however there is only a hand full of people who do modifications for the AX, and I bought the 5 door rather than the 3 door. These cars are very fun to drive the handling on them is up to scratch and the performance is'nt to bad even for a 1.1. In the 3 years that I owned my AX I never had any mechanical problems the only things that I changed were things like the tyres...

Yamaha AX 500

Advantages: quality low noise reliabilty power appearance amazing clarity high end performance
Disadvantages: none for a classic amp

...Its an amp that changes the face of your listening entirely if you have been using lesser equipment..no matter what it cost. The AX 500 makes a high fidelity sound way above its considerable cost when released by yamaha..and puts all of its contemporaries in the shade. Its an imposing box, though like all of the natural sound range pulls that off with elegance. The sleek lines are very dark hi-fi and blends in nicely anywhere.Its hansome, heavyweight and shakes the foundations. How yamaha achieve such cleaness of sound,musicality and such fabulous signal to noise ratio is said to be down to the sheer precision of thier manufacturing. Their products are incredibly long lived delivering all of the original performance. They achieve this with hi-fi, much of which is now getting on over 60 years old and has cult collectable status...

Citroen AX

Advantages: cheap to insure, reliable
Disadvantages: very small, can seem unsturdy

...When you're looking for your first car, you are likely to want something that is cheap, cheap...and er...cheap!! You are more than likely going to want something smaller so it is cheap to insure, and something to get you from A to B. The Citroen AX,lets face it, is not a triumph of car design in the 20th Century. However, they are everywhere. This makes them cheap. I got mine for £300 from a private dealer, and have not had to spend to much more on it. They are reliable, and because they are mostly small engines, they are very cheap to insure. As a young driver, premiums are already high, but with this car, the small engine, low value and the fact that it is hardly going to get it stolen, means insurance premiums are lowered. The car itself is ok. I'm not going to build it into your ideal car. If you had money to spend, you...

AX Repair bill

Advantages: Great MPG (60), sound engine.
Disadvantages: erm...Very little street cred.

...,000 miles, I admittedly expected the same from this one. To be honest, I was dreading having to buy the AX, as I had heard that they could be tempramemtal, but six years on, I am extreamly glad that I made the purchase. Who knows, maybe it will last another 100,000???...
