Epson EMP S4, one small, great projector

Advantages: Portable, quick to turn on/off, very easy to set up and use.
Disadvantages: Loud cooling system, rubbish internal speaker.

...I bought 10 Epson EMP S4 projectors for school I work for at summer 2006. Below you will find my personal opinion after one year of using and maintaining that product, but first short description. Epson EMP S4 is updated (in 2006) version of EMP S3. Epson's EMP S(x) line of projectors is design to suit mobile and office users. And it does it perfectly. It's small (33X25X9cm) and light (2.6kg). It comes with small remote control and a bag with shoulder strap. It's brightness (1800 ANSI lumens) and resolution (800x600) is sufficient to display presentation (text, photos and short movies) at 2-6m distance onto white wall or whiteboard (usage professional project screen will improve image brightness and sharpness) in bright room. It has three types of video inputs (15 pin VGA, S-video and composite video input), so at the same time...

Project Yourself

Advantages: Movies like they are meant to be seen
Disadvantages: Pricely bulbs

...purchased the Epson EMP S5 projector from play.com for £250. Expense would not have been an issue selling my prize TV pocketed me well over £1000, so I could have gone higher but to be perfectly honest I thought this was the same projector I used at work, which was good enough for me. So my projector arrived and I soon realised that it was not the same one I use at work, but that was fine I still wanted it, I NEEDED it in fact. Setting up the projector is a doddle, more so than setting up a TV, you simply position the projector where you want it and plug the wires in. You can have sound through the projector, but having a cinema sound DVD player I never felt there was much reason to do this, onboard sound being only mono. You can connect a DVD player via AVI sockets or S Video socket; however there is no HDMI or Scart option. I should...

Fuji FinePix S1500. Descendant of the S1000fd

Advantages: Huge zoom, Focus Tracking, Easy to use
Disadvantages: Bulky, A little slow, AA batteries are a bit inconvenient

...The Fuji FinePix S1500 is the latest incarnation of the very successful FinePix S1000fd. It is very SLR-like in appearance and the added bulk of the battery-holder/grip does give it an assured feeling in your hands. Of course, this can be a disadvantage, and if you want a camera that you can just slip in-and-out of your pocket, then maybe a slimmer compact should be considered. The 12x optical zoom is excellent and it equates to 33-396mm in 35mm terms - and if this isn't enough, there is a 5.7x digital zoom feature too. The menus are friendly and easy to navigate, and there are helpful explanatory prompts that appear on thew LCD screen when the mode-dial setting is changed. There are 14 preset scenes to choose from, each setting the camera to its optimum settings for the given scenario, but on top of this, the camera can be used...

SDR S26

Advantages: Size, quality, reputation, ease of use. truly pocket size
Disadvantages: none

...Having been stuck with a busted camcorder on the morning on an important family visit, I dashed to a major electrical store to source a replacement, stumbled across this camera, researched the others on display and chose the S26 for ease of use, merit for the make (I bought Lumix TZ5 and have been really pleased with it, quality, capabilities etc, great lens) and general feel for the camera. in my opinion, X70 zoom works very well, resolution excellent for an "older" user and their "junior" assistants. I think that Transfer speed is not rapid, but "so what" in a camera at this price point. Very happy to recommend for general everyday trouble free use. BUT buy it on line for £60 less than the big stores and be even more satisfied that I am Ron...

Remington S9810 Genius Straighteners... not so Genius really!

Advantages: A digital display and the option to change the temperature.
Disadvantages: Poor quality and a horribly expensive price tag.

...I must admit I am a big fan of GHD hair straighteners. Ever since my Mum bought me a pair of them last Christmas I would never go back to any other brand. However I am a member of the Amazon Vine programme and I received a pair of these Remington Genius straighteners for free. Genius Straighteners? Remington state that if you want cutting edge technology that?s usually found in hair salons, then these are the straighteners for you. In fact, Celebrity Hairdresser of the Year, Steven Goldsworthy, goes as far as saying these are the Ferrari of all hair straighteners! After reading this I was certainly intrigued, could they really be as good as they sound? The plates on these straighteners have the most advanced Ceramic coating, vital if you want a smooth finish with your straighteners, rather than a static look. They also...

GT-S5600: A Great Touch Screen Phone

Advantages: Great Camera, Easy to use touch screen and lovely colour
Disadvantages: Easily Scratched and has an irritating vibrate eveytime you touch something

...My old phone decided to die on me a few weeks ago. So I decided it was time to invest in a new one, and I decided to go on contract. I ended up getting the new(ish) Samsung GT-S5600. The contract is with Orange Dolphin and costs £15 a month and includes the phone, 100 minutes of calls to any network and unlimited texts. ---The Phone Itself--- The phone is a bar phone, not slide or swivel. It is approximately 10cm/4? in length and 5.5cm/2? in width. My version is in nice pale lilac though it does come in black and white. The screen is a touch screen, and measures 4.5cm wide and 6cm in length. At the base of the phone there is three buttons, two of equal size with a nice brush metal effect, the equal size buttons are the ones that allow you to answer calls and end them. In between the two equal buttons is a square button...

iPhone 3G S will have you stunned!

Advantages: It's advanced technology and huge variety of features.
Disadvantages: The very low and quickly decreasing battery life.

...The iPhone 3G S is an amazing piece of palm-sized technology. It has everything you could possibly ask of a mobile phone (except Blue-tooth data exchange), and much more! I was shocked at it's ease of use considering its a smart phone! However, although it does have a few new features from its predecessor, the iPhone 3G, but it didn't seem as much of a technological breakthrough considering the transition of the original iPhone to the iPhone 3G, which is one of the reasons I gave it 4, and not 5 stars. First of all, there is the biggest thing about the iPhone 3G S, is the addition if the S to the title. It stands for speed, and they're not lying. I compared my friends iPhone 3G to my iPhone 3G S, and I noticed how much quicker internet pages load, applications load up, and even basic things like sending a text (which may have been due...

Get snappy happy with a S760

Advantages: Inexpensive, easy to use, good picture quality
Disadvantages: Some picture freeze at first but rectified with formatting

... SAMSUNG S760 DIGITAL CAMERA It?s hard now to imagine life prior to the digital camera. I fear that there are many younger people reading this review that may not even remember that dim and distant past. The time when you ended up with hundreds of out of focus pictures, decapitated grannies or drawers full of films waiting to be taken for development!! There is no need at all for me to go into the many benefits of digital cameras, instead I will tell you of our experience of an efficient, handy yet inexpensive little camera ? the Samsung S760. This camera is actually my son?s camera; his sister bought it him for his 13th birthday. He had received his own laptop for Christmas so she thought that a digital camera would be an ideal present. What we wanted for him was a camera that wasn?t TOO expensive (he does have...

S is for not so Super Casinos...

Advantages: Money for the Treasury
Disadvantages: The unemployed and pension money comes straight back

...what else is that white elephant good for. When London didn?t get it many thought Blackpool would, the sympathy vote for old Labor stalwarts. But it was Manchester at 16-1 to win through on the rails, the type of nag the pure punter ignores and bets the place, an outsider?s price in any horse race. If and where ever it?s built it will probably be in a poor area, supposedly to regenerate the city; plenty of the types of customers the big casinos thrive and feed off. My experience of the big casinos has been in America and South Africa. Indeed the team that thought they had won the Manchester deal are the founders of Sun City in the Kurtzner group, a holding company well used to bribery and political trickery to win the big deals [allegedly], according to press reports and documentation, very topical if you consider current Blair?s...
