Garmin Nuvi 200w Sat Nav System

Advantages: Easy to use, does what it's suppsed to do!
Disadvantages: Satellite pairing takes ages, no mains charger!

...of the past, much like tv's. After extensive researching, price comparison and review reading, I came across the Garmin Nuvi 200w, and a sat nav system that seemed to impress greatly, so i decided to take the plunge and bought one. Much like many of the reviews I had read on the Nuvi 200w, my first impressions of it were very good. I bought the system off the Littlewoods website, as it had been reduced in a seasonal sale that they were having. This meant that the system was on offer for around £30 less than on any other reputable site that I could find it on. The product was well packaged, securely and compactly fitted to an inner cardboard shelf, that meant that the sat nav was unable to move or rattle within the box, therefor limiting the chance of damage during postal delivery to a minimum. Included in the box was the Nuvi 200w sat nav system...

Churchwood Financial Ltd

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Very high fees, no debt management performed

...I have to agree with the other reviewer - please, please never ever use Churchwood Financial Ltd (or any of the other companies they trade as). I went to them because my repayments and interest were becoming unmanageable. When I finally left them almost six months later, I was simply more in debt than when I started. They promise to take care of everything... If only this was even half way true. They promise to liaise with creditors, set up repayment agreements that will stop your interest and charges. THEY DONT! One of the first things they tell you (\"advise you\") is to stop taking any calls or replying to any letters from creditors. Just give them all to them. They also say stop making payments. Although I was struggling, I was making all payments on time and had never been charged extra fees up until I contacted Churchwood...

Sony a200 - one of the best budget dslr cameras available.

Advantages: Great battery life, comfortable in the hands, picture quality.
Disadvantages: Flimsy memory card and remote release slot.

...I was looking for a new camera and had a budget of around £300. Compact cameras such as the Panasonic Lumix TZ and the Nikon Coolpix P80 kept coming up, as did the Nikon D40 and the Sony a200. I decided to go for the Sony in the end as it was a name I trusted and I had used a compact Sony in the past. The quality difference between my old compact camera and this camera was incredible. Shots always seem to come out crisp and clear, whatever lighting conditions the picture was taken in. Battery life is great and the percentage meter of battery power remaining is invaluable. The camera fits well in large hands, and all of the buttons and dials on the camera are comfortably positioned. Having only used a compact camera in the past, the sheer number of options took a while to get used to, but once I was familiar with the camera everything...

TT200

Advantages: Good quality and features
Disadvantages: N/A

...Numark turntables were the first ones I bought many years ago when I started out and do I always have a special place in my heart for their products. When the TT200 was released I was quite impressed by the design and some of the features so decided to check them out. The TT200 looks very cool indeed. They are not shaped like other turntables; rectangular with harsh corners, this has a much more sleeker looking design with luxurious looking smooth edges and a dual coloured faceplate (silver and black). The smart design takes nothing away from the sturdiness of the turntable and I reckon that this could take quite a battering before playback became affected. The platter and the tone-arm feel strong and I would image they would stand up to a fair bit of force. When making any contact with the record being played the needle only skipped...

Vespa GT200

Advantages: Comfortable, really good looking and really reliable.
Disadvantages: The Vespa is pretty heavy apart from that its an all round great scooter.

...Vespa Granturismo 200, if you are looking for a really reliable bike (scooter) then this is the one to buy. My dad and I (aged 14) go to the Isle of White scooter rally every year on one and have been going for 3 years now. The Vespa is very comfortable and is all through the journey. I travel over 300 miles in one journey on it and i can happily say it is very comfortable. The Vespa handles really well round town or just cruising up the motorway. It easily keeps up with the traffic. But the Vespa is pretty hard to handle when being pushed as it is so heavy. The Vespa is heavy but you can not tell its weight when riding it. I would say it is one of the best looking modern scooters today. Vespa have brought some of the classic looks for the good old Vespa's i.e P200E, PX200, Rally and so on into the Vespa Granturismo. The fuel consumption...

Fuji FinePix F200EXR - The Party Animal's camera

Advantages: Low-light capability, Auto-focus is brilliant
Disadvantages: Awkward menus, Slow start-up

...Much has been made in recent years if the quality of low-light/high ISO images produced by the Fuji FinePix F30 and F31d cameras - and rightly so. By not trying to cram more and more pixels onto their sensor, Fuji have been able to concentrate on getting better performance out of the ones that are already there and the 6mp cameras certainly make the most of the available light. This tradition has been upheld with the development of the EXR sensor and the release of the F200EXR - a serious compact camera, with a serious price tag of around £330 (RRP). It is basically an old Fuji FinePix F100fd with the new EXR sensor. It is a different colour but there aren't many other differences on the surface. What is EXR Technology? If I could answer that, I'd be considerably richer than I am! As I understand it, it is all to do with the way...

My LDVD200

Advantages: Excellent screen size, good features.
Disadvantages: Heavy, small battery.

...After nagging at my parents to buy me a portable DVD player the time came and Christmas day I finally received what I wanted. I just about tried playing everything on it and that?s what it did, it even browsed folders on a CD and let you view photos! <<Handling>> The LDVD200 is very simple to use, turn it one, put a disc in and away you go. The buttons are the controls you would expect on a high tech DVD player. If you don?t like widescreen you can just press a button and it lets you view it as normal. You can use it to plug in cameras to watch video and pictures on it and even play music from an external device through it. Its and Aladdin?s cave of features though the player is quite heavy which is a shame for an otherwise good device. <<Viewing>> Viewing video on the LDVD200 is excellent. With the 7" TFT Widescreen panel...

Canon S200

Advantages: cheap, compact, durable
Disadvantages: bit of an ink-guzzler

...I came across the Canon S200 a little over two years ago in the PC World sale when, as a student, I was looking for a cheap but reliable bit of kit to keep those coursework essays churning out (I'd rather have had an extra half hour in bed than race to college to 'bag' a printer in the IT lab...hm, not much has changed I fear). Not only did I quite fancy the price-tag (just under 30 quid), I was attracted to the S200's size - it's small enough to perch on the corner of my desk without taking up too much precious space otherwise needed for books, papers, cups of tea, elbows etc... [dimensions excluding feeder tray = 16 x 16 x 35cm approx.] The printer came with a USB cable and easy-to-install CD-Rom driver. The CD also contains an electronic manual that can be installed for later consultation (although personally I'd have preferred...

Toshiba A200 - 195

Advantages: Light, Fast, Looks nice, Reliable, Value.
Disadvantages: Doesn't have a built in webcam or Bluetooth connectivity.

...with the good value. After going through the specifications on the Toshiba website, which I might add is very easy to compare the differences between their laptops and is really quite helpful, I settled on an A200 series, as the new A210 series is based on AMD's processors and currently Intel's processors (CPU's) are a lot better at power management, thus give a longer battery life. This is the only difference between the A200 and A210 series. I had settled on one of the A200's, however as it is a laptop and I need to really be able to feel the weight of it, as I am not good at judging weights from a kilogram measure on a website, I went to various high street shops to see and have a quick play on the Toshiba A200's. I went to PC World, Dixons, Currys etc, all the staff seemed to echo the reviews I had read on the internet about Toshiba being one...
