The Energizer Battery Charger

Advantages: Good value for money
Disadvantages: Takes a long time to charge batteries

...I had been intending to purchase a battery charger for quite a while. In fact I had even dropped hints to certain family members around Christmas time, but to no avail. I was recently reminded of this missing piece of equipment in my life when I rediscovered the PC lead to my digital camera. Remembering that a pair of standard batteries lasted for only about 30 photos in this camera I decided that it was certainly time to invest in a battery charger and some rechargeable batteries. I purchased an Energizer CHDCW8 ? 4 battery charger from Argos for just £9.99. This decision was based on several factors, the most important of which was the price and what I considered to be the best value for money. The design also played a part in my decision process, but in the end it was the price/value that were the strongest influencing factors...

Review of Energizer CHDCWB-4 Battery Charger

the intelligent battery charger.

Advantages: Cheap, reliable, long lasting, reasonable price.
Disadvantages: Still gets warm. Plastic plug = breakable?

...---THE PRODUCT--- Definately glad to be an owner of one of these chargers, even though they seem quite pricey, the batteries are great as they are reusable, and you don't waste money on purchasing darn AA batteries, again and again. It's easy to use, don't take hours to charge like the previous models which took around 8 hours and meant that you had to leave it on over night, worrying that it would heat up and catch the house on fire. I wouldn't be without this, endlessly purchasing batteries for items. Furthermore you can't use ordinary batteries in Digital Camera's as they are drained after you've took three photo's with the flash on. These therefore are robust and useful in the long run and will save you money and time. ---MODEL--- The model number is. RC104318 It's full charge happens in about 90 minutes, however I...

Review of Uniross Sprint 90 min - Battery charger 4xAA/AAA - included batteries: 4 x AA type NiMH 2500 mAh

Excellent Battery Charger

Advantages: Charging time of 5 hours, Includes 4 AA batteries, Compact design
Disadvantages: None

...The Uniross x-press 300 is a good charger which supports a range of different battery sizes. I bought this charger last year because I bought a wireless mouse and keyboard so made more sense getting rechargeable batteries rather than spending money on normal batteries every few weeks. I went with Uniross as they make decent rechargeable batteries and are well known for it. This x-press 300 charges AAA, AA & 9V size batteries. It lets you charge 2 or 4 AA/AAA and one 9V batteries of the same type at the same time. It's suitable for AA, AAA and 9V (PP3) NiCd and NiH batteries. To use AAA batteries you simply flip down a little holder within the charger and it will hold the AAA batteries to charge. The plug in design makes it easy to use and the built in mains transformer means there are no leads or adaptors. You simply plug it in...

JVC Everio GZ-MG575. A must have!

Advantages: Too many!
Disadvantages: None

...Introduction: I have always loved to capture everything that seems to be nice with eye of a camera. I love nature and capturing its beauty. I have played around with still pictures for quite some time. I always desired to have a camcorder, so that I can also capture my memorable moments in moving video. My desire was fulfilled on my last birthday when my uncle gifted this beauty to me. From then I have been using it and I am very satisfied with its performance. I love JVC for producing such a wonderful camcorder. ******************************************************* Dimensions: >Width: 7.4 cm >Depth: 11.8 cm >Height: 7.2 cm >Weight (Without battery): 425 g >Weight (With Battery): 470 g Very compact and light weight. The one I have got is black in colour. It looks very pretty...

JVC Everio GZMG21EK Camcorder.

Advantages: Small, easy to use, uses a hard drive so no tape or disc changes
Disadvantages: Supplied battery life, difficult to keep steady on high zoom

...I was looking for a camcorder to use primarily for holidays and family moments. I have bought this camcorder for that use only. when you buy the JVC Everio GZMG21EK you get the following items:- The camcorder itself, A battery and charger, a lens cap, Shoulder strap, instructions & guarantees, AV cables, a USB cable, a remote control (with battery) and a disc of software. ( I bought mine over the internet so couldnt haggle in the shop) The camcorder is silver in colour and i cant believe how small it actually is. It fits perfectly into my hand and is not heavy at all. The camcorder uses a 20 gb hardrive as the recording medium rather than the tapes or discs alot of the other types do. So one big advantage is not having to go out and buy a load of tapes or discs to record on. You can record up to 25hrs of recording...

Review of JVC Everio GZMG21EK

JVC Everio GZ MG30

Advantages: Hard disc recording - no tapes
Disadvantages: low battery time

...I was sceptical - read lots of reviews that were non commital about the quality of the camera. Never having had a digital camcorder before, I did a huge amount of background research and that just left me not wanting anything with tapes or DVDs that need changing, editing or run out at the innoportune moments! So, I got onto ebay and got myself (for 250 GBP!!!!) from the US, a brand new Everio. After paying import duty (caveat emptor) I got it and most impressive it is too Small is the first thing that you notice - small, but it fits my hand perfectly, and my wife's hand too (and she has little hands). It feels like a good extension of your arm and is not at all heavy, even after some extensive use. Ease of USE - without reading a manual at all (what a man!) I managed to figure out the way to record and then to review what I...

Review of JVC Everio GZ-MG30

Good battery charger for it's price

Advantages: Charges quickly, easy to use.
Disadvantages: Doesn't feel too strong... Not much of a problem.

...I bought this so that I wouldnt' have to keep paying for batteries all the time for my camera. Most battery chargers cost a lot more than this one did (I bought this one for about £12, from Amazon), so it was good to get a deal on it. The package includes the charger itself, 4 AA batteries and a car adapter, so you can charge your batteries in the car. The batteries are easy to insert, there are two spring-loaded extensions that spring out. These are so you can charge AAA batteries as well, and they fold away when you're charging AA batteries. I find that charging batteries doesn't take very much time at all, I just leave them in for a short while and after a short while the red light turns green to show that the charge is complete. The build of the charger doesn't seem very strong, it feels rather plasticky. However, I haven't had...

Review of Uniross X-Press 700 - Battery charger - AC / car 4xAA/AAA - included batteries: 4 x AA type 2500 mAh

JVC Everio GZ-MC200

Advantages: No tapes, and it's TINY !
Disadvantages: "Only" one hour on an expensive 4GB microdrive...

...At last, a review from me of something you can actually buy new ! The JVC Everio GZ-MC200 records your digital video footage on a 4 GB microdrive, a mini removable hard disk instead of a tape. Take good care of this microdrive - it's a mini hard disk - as replacements are quite expensive. The 4 GB microdrive will let you shoot about one hour of video in MPEG-2 compression at a resolution of 720x576 pixels and a data rate of 8.5 MB/sec (in Ultra Fine mode), more if you turn the quality down. In addition, the Everio has a 2.12 megapixel CCD sensor (0.28 inches) that can produce still photographs at four different resolutions, with the maximum resolution 1600x1200 pixels. This resolution produces more good quality photos when printed at 4"x6". You can fit 4,500 two-megapixel still images or five hours of audio recording...
