Minolta Riva Zoom 115

Advantages: Easy to use controls, Compact size, nice silver finish, Good picture quality
Disadvantages: Small viewfinder

.... The camera has a powerful flash with good range and exposure when used. Also has red eye reduction with self timer. The camera has a silent rewind button when film has reached the end - useful if your in a quiet place. The zoom range is good from 38-115mm enough to bring distant objects close. The camera feels comfortable to hold and the controls that are needed the most like zooming in/out and shutter release button are close at hand. The only drawbacks i found with this camera is the small viewfinder. I personally found it very small for a 35mm zoom camera and i don't wear glasses!! You have to squint at times to take good photo. Also i wish the camera had date/time print facility that enables you to print the date/time on photo when picture was taken. But if you don't mind the small viewfinder i think this camera would be a good...

The Minolta Riva Zoom 130

Advantages: Superb Features, Good Design, Durable
Disadvantages: Can take a while for a photo to be taken

...-framing guide + 130mm zoom - Could have more features if we were to be greedy! - The camera can take a while for a photo to be taken but this is due to the camera focusing. All of the functions perform well and the landscape view is particularly useful although a tripod is recommended! PHOTO QUALITY: + All of the photos i have received i have been more than happy with the quality of the photo. OTHER: + Good instruction manual + Great looking camera + Mine came with a free case, film and two batteries! + Great value, i got mine for a bargain £80! I would highly recommend this camera to anyone!...

Logitech Sphere AF

Advantages: Crystal Clear Imaging, Face tracking, Tons of features
Disadvantages: Price

...The first thing I will say about the Logitech AF Webcam is: This is more then a webcam! Unfortunately with my Mrs not currently living in the same place as me and due to the fact that I knocked off and stood on my old webcam, it became time for me to buy a new one. Now my old webcam, a Logitech Zoom I bought back 4 year ago and the Camera served me very well! Now I am no worker for Logitech, nor am I biased towards them for any reason at all, but it seems that it's fair to say that they own the market when it comes to the world of Webcams. Anyway, back to Logitech AF. Now I managed to get this for about £65, but you may pay more or less depending on where you get it from. Now I know that £65 is a lot to spend on a webcam, but for me, who uses it almost daily, I didn't feel it was so much, if of course, the camera was worth it...

Zoom Zoom Zoom......

Advantages: Professionally laid out online surveys. Product testing.
Disadvantages: Some awful incentive gifts

...~~ UPDATED FEBRUARY 2006 ~~ I joined up with ZoomPanel through ipoints in December 2003. Quite frankly, I was most unimpressed with them at first. Despite promising the potential to earn rewards and cash through ZoomPoints, the first 10 or 11 surveys they offered me only qualified me for entry into a sweepstake or prize draw. I'm afraid that I very swiftly pull the plug on any survey company only offering entries into prize draws, as in over 2 years of survey work, I have yet to win anything from any survey company prize draw or raffle. I fail to see why I should spend my valuable time completing a survey for which I get little or no reward, when you can bet your bottom dollar the company hosting it is being handsomely rewarded. However, I am most glad that I gave them the benefit of the doubt, as ZoomPanel have proved to be a good...

Konika-Minolta Magicolor with magical printed colours

Advantages: Vivid colours, reliable, prints beautifully
Disadvantages: Photo printing quality is only 7/10 in my rating

...We bought our Konika Minolta Magicolor 2350 laser printer four years ago. We use it at home but I print quite frequently. We decided to buy this printer because it is specially designed for optimal performance in Windows, Macintosh, UNIX, and other environments as well. This was important for us, as I use Windows but my husband is an IT professional and uses several other operation systems on his computers and sometimes also he wants to print something. He worked for a company where there were a lot of printers of this type and he had really good opinion about them. This opinion hasn?t changed since then. Price of the printer and cartridges When we bought it, it was on offer, so it was ?only? £650. It was a serious discount because its full price is £900. There are four cartridges in it plus the drum cartridge, we had to change...

Come fly with me on Zoom.

Advantages: Low cost airline with Premium seating available.
Disadvantages: Only fly from a few airports in UK

...A few years ago we planned to go to Canada and cross the Rockies and then cruise to Alaska to celebrate our Ruby Wedding and retirement. But as my husband got voluntary redundancy last October we decided to bring the celebration holiday forward to this summer, why put off something that we can do now! We emailed a travel agent who specialised in Canadian travel and literally said what we wanted and what could they offer. The flight to Calgary and returning from Vancouver was with Zoom. I hadn't even heard of Zoom, my husband said it was a low cost flight. Knowing it would be a long flight I was somewhat concerned as my experiences with Easyjet and Ryanair haven't been very positive. So after doing some research online we asked the travel agent to upgrade our seats to Premium. Advantages of a Premium seat...

Konica Minolta 2550 - a step up from the entry level printer

Advantages: Quality prints, quiet
Disadvantages: A little expensive to run

...The Magicolor 2550 is positioned as one of Konica Minolta's entry level colour laser printers, well almost entry level, as it offers some very nice features without taking the price of the device too high. The specification on offer from this full colour model is a cracking 20ppm (pages per minute) in monochrome and 5ppm in full colour. The native resolution is 600dpi with a x4 dithering method which beefs this up to an effective 2,400dpi. The model on review here is the standard model, which has 128MB of memory, is network ready and offers Postscript 3 printer language in addition to PCL6 and PDF support. The 2550DN which is the next model up adds a built-in duplexer and has 256MB of memory, it also adds Pictbridge support for direct connection of a compatible digital camera. Both models are capable of handling a monthly duty cycle...

Why the Pro's ignore Minolta

Advantages: None - judgment is somewhat clouded
Disadvantages: Please provide larger area the write in!

...I've been a pro photographer for over 10 years. Mainly I have used Nikon, but during a lean period in my career I update my cameras to Minolta due to cost reasons. Big mistake. I bought a 700si and a 9xi. The 9xi was released as a professional camera. It seemed sturdy and very advanced for its time. The 700si had similar features but was less sturdy, it was to be my back up camera. Just over a year after purchase, ie just out of guarantee the 9xi failed with a sticking shutter. It was repaired twice, by reputable repair centers. The final failing was whilst on a shoot in Bergen Norway, when the mirror actually fell out. A few weeks later, the back up 700si failed to rewind the film automatically. Unpeturbed, I used the liitle rubber button underneath to manually rewind. But as you can imagine this soon wore out. The result, no cameras. I...
