5 * printer the Kyocera that goes on & on & on

Advantages: Fast, Reliable, Easy to Feed paper
Disadvantages: It doesnt fit into standard computer desks,

...After my negative last printer review, I?ve decided to review another of our collection. The Kyocera FS 680 is my personal favourite. Which is a strange thing to admit under the circumstances!! About a year ago while in the process of finding new printers my boss suggested this one, to which I recalled what the hell is the point in buying it?We need A3 minimum and definitely something capable of printing colour. My boss inevitably ignored my comments and headed straight out to purchase this. Incredibly this printer has since become a god send. Although only able to print A4 and black and white, this printer consistently chugs away day after day without a glitch. Before I launch into a buy now buy now speech I?ll tell you the features of the printer and let you decide! Compatibility: This printer as with most is compatible...

Kyocera FS 5030N, brilliant color laser

Advantages: Very reliable, low cost per page
Disadvantages: None

...I bought first Kyocera FS 5030N for my company at February 2007. After six months we own another four of those. It shows how satisfied I am with quality of that product. First quick description. It's medium speed (24 pages per minute), color (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, blacK), laser printer with network interface (letter N on the end of a product name). It prints with same speed for B/W and color documents. Maximum print resolution is 600x600dpi. It warms up in 80sec from power on, time to first page is 12sec. Inside sits processor PowerPC 750FX/600MHz with 128MB RAM, expandable to 1024MB. It has smallest footprint (35x47x39cm) in its class. Offers very easy access to toners and waste toner tank. Each toner stands for printing 8k pages (in lab conditions of course, in real those numbers highly depends on average page coverage), which...

Panasonic Lumix FS7

Advantages: Perfect picture
Disadvantages: None

...I have just replaced my Fuji fine pix with another camera, and whilst buying my boyfriend bought himself a Lumix FS7 which I am now regretting not getting for myself. Always the way, but whenever I go shopping for something electrical, some guy in a suit always sways me towards something different. Which I should really learn from and just buy online, its usually cheaper anyway. The Panasonic Lumix FS7 Digital camera comes in a range of different colours; it cost £130 which for a 10.1 Megapixel camera was pretty good and the deal we got meant that a free case came with it as well as an additional memory card. So there were no qualms on the price. 10.1 Megapixels Right away we was impressed with the quality of the images this camera was taking, I also test the pictures out on phones and cameras by taking one scenic photo, a photo...

A diamond in a sea of cubic zirconia

Advantages: quick, cheap
Disadvantages: none really

...with the installation, the website does have a section in it's help pages to assist you with the printer set-up. --Price-- You can buy the FS1010 for about £200. It puts it down at the cheaper end of the Laser printer scale but the cheapness doesn?t hide a lack of quality. --Cartridge Cost-- We can buy our cartridge (TK-17) for £46 from our supplier and according to the manufacturer it will last for about 5,000-6,000 sheets, which works out at an extremely cheap 0.0092p-0.007p per sheet. We use the printer mainly for producing very wordy letters which increases the ink usage and reduces the pages to about 3,000 per cartridge (0.015p per sheet). --Online Support-- Kyocera has a very comprehensive UK-based website which provides a lot of information on each of their products, including where to buy, cartridge costs etc. It has a support helpdesk...

Review of Kyocera FS 1010

A good all rounder for B&W printing

Advantages: Quick, Cheap
Disadvantages: Not the best printout

...I had always owned expensive to run colour inkjet printers, but noticed that the majority of my printing needs were just black and white. The time had come to buy a laser printer. I had used Kyocera Mita printers for a number of years at work and was aware of their cheap running costs, mainly because the ceramic drum has a life of around 150000 pages, thus making it effectively a fixed part of the printer. I fully expect to buy a new one when the drum itself fails. Due to this long life drum the toner cartridges are cheap (about £45 each with a life of around 4-5000 pages). The quality of print from this printer is average and at a resolution of 600dpi. It is certainly good enough for nearly all basic usage. Printing pictures is not recommended though because the printer does show some banding across the page. Personally I run...

Review of Kyocera FS 1010

Very good printer (when it works).

Advantages: Good value for money. Quality output. Fast.
Disadvantages: The paper tray jams. Not very user friendly.

...is perfectly fine! A small green plastic thing popped out of the back of the paper tray yesterday, and I can't seem to get it back in. This may have something to do with its poor performance, but it is a brand-new printer, only a few weeks old and never worked very well from the start! The printer seems to jam most frequently when I try to print labels or envelopes. The envelope feeder tray is also fiddly to use and this is down to the lack of generally decent build quality. I know this is a cheap printer, but Kyocera seem to have cut too many corners in its design to keep the price down. I can't comment on manufacturer support, as we use this in an office enviorenment and this is done in-house. The repair man came today and confirmed what I thought - the paper jam is due to a design fault and the little green thing was critical...

Review of Kyocera FS 1020D

Canon FS10 - Overpriced Overrated.

Advantages: Nice Shell + External Design
Disadvantages: Everything Else.

...The Canon FS10 is a non HD video camera. it has a lack of features its video quality is a little below average and whatever good things it has are ruined by a bad software interface. The camera is quite easy to use at a basic level, you hit record and it records, but advanced features are hard to get to and take a long time to be found. its buttons are arranged in a very odd way and some things require some very strange hand movements The recording quality of the camera is a little off average, it is good for playback at smaller sizes but on a bigger scale looks bad and is very noisy. it cant adjust to lighting conditions well and the zoom is too strong for its own good. the still quality is low res but its high quality. i have little comment on the still quality because a stills camera is what you use to take stills, not a video...

Say cheeeeese for the DC3800

Advantages: Made for everyday use - just point and shoot
Disadvantages: Battery life

...I purchased this camera at from Curry’s about eight months ago, and have not been disappointed with the results. The DC3800 is an ultra-compact, lightweight point and shoot camera from Kodak. It weighs in at 165g without batteries and with dimensions of 95 x 33 x 61mm, it will fit in the palm of your hand or a shirt pocket with ease. The DC3800 produces 2.1 megapixel images in 24 bit colour, which are clear and well defined with good colour balance. There are also lower resolution settings, which are more suitable for emailing. The camera can be bought for under £300, a price which includes several features such as a 2x digital zoom, autofocus, red-eye reduction and macro functions. There is a USB Compact Flash card reader for simple transferring of pictures from the 8Mb memory card to a PC, and a video cable to connect...

...We bought the new BEKO CDA648FS at the end of may so have had it about a month so far .We purchased it from comet online for a cost of £299 which included free delivery but wasnt given a time of delivery only the day i believe you can pay extra for a timed delivery if required .We bought the BEKO CDA648FS to replace our under counter integrated fridge and freezer to free up some needed cupboard space.
