CDJ 400 AMAZING

Advantages: Everything You Need
Disadvantages: LCD Blurs

...There can be no doubt when I say that Pioneer own the DJ CD deck market. Like the Technics, the mighty CDJ range has become the standard install for many clubs and an essential buy for many DJs wishing to make the jump from analog to digital. When Pioneer released the original CDJ-1000 and subsequent 800, they ruled the roost, led the pack plus many other euphemisms meaning they pwned the scene. But the competition soon caught up and even surpassed the functionality and feature set of the CDJs, leaving Pioneer in the enviable but slightly uncomfortable position of being the standard, but not necessarily the cutting edge anymore. If you're an existing Pioneer user, you'll be right at home, as the Pioneer layout rule book has been read and adhered to. Controls are where you'd expect them to be and the CDJ-400 also has an LCD screen that...

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...

Pioneer CDJ200; best low budget CD deck

Advantages: Excellent effects
Disadvantages: No scratch facility

...Having used as friends CDJ200 and enjoyed it very much, I purchased one of my own. The unit looks very good and feels solid in construction. The best features are the looping facility and the ability to cut loops, cutting loops on the CD deck is a feature that the CDJ1000 DOESNT HAVE. The Effects (Jet, Zip and Wah) are good and produce the same result as the Pioneer efx 500 and DJM effects modules. The pitch adjustment is smooth and you can choose between +/-6,10,12% pitch, the pitch can be bent easily by the jog wheel, this takes a while to get used to as it is different to a standard turntable (1210) and not as dampered as the excellent jog wheel on a CDJ1000, this is acceptable as it is less than half the price. The ability to play MP3 format cd's is great as you can fit about 150 accapellas on one cd, excellent for easy access...

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...

Review of Canon Digital IXUS 100 IS Digital Camera

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...

Toshiba NB100

Advantages: Nice look, good battery life.
Disadvantages: Too small.

...actually pretty impressive. Function The notebook works quite well with wireless internet and doesn't cut off often as I have found with wi-fi on some other laptops. It also has an impressive battery life, in a recent car journey, I found it lasted about 3 and 3/4 hours, easily enough time for all of the film I was watching as well as some of another. It is available in two versions, Ubuntu Linux and Windows XP Home., but the Linux has 512Mb of RAM and an 80Gb hard disk, the Windows one has 1Gb of RAM and a 120Gb drive. I personally own the windows version, since I know more about the operating system and prefer the high memory levels. The rest of it's specifications are pretty average for a note book and it runs as such. Overall The Toshiba NB100 is great if you're japanese and/or believe things should be made...

  Investing in the FTSE 100 Index

Advantages: Cheap products, easy to invest in, good dividend yield, unlike shares in a company will never go bust
Disadvantages: Index concentrated in 10 companies meaning more risk, not for ethical investors, sensitive to oil prices

...Using a trading strategy I have been investing in the FTSE 100 index for the past 9 months. Personally I think the FTSE 100 index is a good place to invest for stockmarket novices and veterans alike. There are many different products that allow you to gain some kind of exposure to the index, which is made up to the 100 largest companies in the UK. In this review I will cover the following in regard to the FTSE 100 index: - What is the FTSE 100 index and what are the main constituents - Products that can be used to trade in the FTSE 100 index - Methods for trading in the FTSE 100 index - My personal view on the current value of the index What is the FTSE 100 index and what are the main constituents The FTSE 100 index is like a barometer that is used to measure the value of the top 100 companies listed on the London...

Review of FTSE 100

Big Button 100

Advantages: Large Buttons
Disadvantages: Corded

...£24.99 if purchased via BT £1.49 a month to rent on an 18 month term The Big Button 100 phone is a very simple basic phone, its corded, which in my opinion is not the best, but for most people who require a phone for the features that it offers then its an ideal phone to have. It comes in the Alpine white coloud. As far as I have come across the phone is the only one I have come across to date that actually offers what it does. So what is the phone all about? Easy grip handset and large buttons which is perfect for anyone with poor sight and for the elderly who may find it hard to hold a steady grip Call indicator light- flashes when the phone rings or there are messages waiting. Again this can be very useful if you have poor sight Hear the number of your last caller Speech amplification - adjust the volume...
