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...

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...

Panasonic semi-soft case

Advantages: Rugged, stylish semi-soft case
Disadvantages: Only fits camcorder with no room for spare tape or batteries

...I got this free with my Panasonic NVGS11B hence excellent value for money but not something I would buy though. Reason below. The case has a stylish rugged look about it with a hand held strap which is connected to the dual zip on the left and right hand side. The 2 zips go to the top but not right around the top. The remaining gap is covered by the top flap cover which is fastened using velcro. Around the back is a belt clip which can be opened or closed with push buttons. Also comes with a shoulder strap. The external case itself apart from the zip and bottom area is made from a plastic type material so appears to be rugged in construction. Internally there is only the one compartment for your camcorder. The camcorder fits snugly in the soft sponge lined case. There are no internal or external pockets and no room...

Review of Panasonic Case Camcorder

Pan-a-Sonic come up trumps

Advantages: Picture, Sound, Price, Connectivity
Disadvantages: Not quite the best

...**Introduction** You may have read my previous review which was of my Denon Mini System which I have in my bedroom. Well Another electrical product which I recently bought is the subject for my next review. The Panasonic TX-P37X10. I had been very fond of my fantastic Panasonic CRT Television but seeing as the prices of new plasmas and lcd televisions have come down recently I thought it was about time that I spent my extra online income on something that would look pride of place in my living room. Having looked around at a number of different televisions, there were three that stood out to me. They were Toshiba, Samsung and of course Panasonic. Having looked at several televisions from the manufacturers These are the top three in my opinion. **The Plasma** Once I had decided on a 37inch television and had eventually chosen...

the intelligent battery charger.

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

...believe that most of my batteries have charged in about 60 minutes, on a full charge from an empty battery. As well as getting the charger, which plugs straight into the wall it includes 4 x 2500mAh Ni-Mh AA's (which are in sliver, and look quite attractive, you won't get these thrown out as they definately stand out from panasonic and duracell) You can charge AAA batteries however the sale only comes with 4 AA batteries. It has a sensor control, a red and green light, to tell you when it is still charging and when the charge is fully complete. Another helpful feature is that it includes a car adapter for no extra cost. This charger the Sprint 90 accepts Ni-Mh and Ni-Cd batteries, in both AA and AAA Formats, charging them in sets of 2 or 4 at a time. Also charging 2 batteries will reduce the charging time. Overall the charger is quite...

Super Sony charger

Advantages: Fast Charge, Auto CutOff
Disadvantages: Only takes AA/AAA

...Getting fed up with constantly having to buy new batteries for our Wii remotes, we started looking into buying some of the rechargeable battery packs you can buy for them. I read a few reviews and decided that it would probably be better to buy a battery charger and a few sets of batteries instead. After looking around I found the Sony High Capacity Super Quick Charger For AA And AAA Batteries and for £16.99 with four AA batteries included it seemed like a good deal, almost all of our electrical items seem to be Sony so with it being a brand we trusted I bought it. The charger itself is fairly compact measuring 4" x 2½" x 1" (not including the power lead) it won't take up a lot of room, the power lead is also removable so you can store it away quite easily. The lead is also the same as the other Sony leads we have so if it gets...

I Admit It, I'm A Panasonic Loaf Lover!

Advantages: Gorgeous bread, easy to make, easy to use, cheap bread, healthier
Disadvantages: Initial outlay but worth the investment.

...We were bought a Delonghi bread maker for Christmas but found that when we opened it, it felt like a piece of cheap tat? certainly not something I'd have thought would be the case with a Delonghi product. I had a look on the Argos website and spotted that the Panasonic SD255 machine had a brilliant 5/5 star rating and was selling at £97.89 - only approximately £5 more than the cost of the Delonghi one, so we exchanged the Delonghi machine for the Panasonic one and are so glad we did; I shall proceed to tell you why. Firstly, it's so easy to operate? I was very apprehensive that I'd end up choosing the wrong settings thus making brick loaves that tasted awful or were completely inedible; it's for this reason that my first couple of loaves were made from shop bought bread mixes so that I'd have less chance of messing them up. Those...

Disgo camcorder

Advantages: Easy to use and price
Disadvantages: none

...This Disgo camcorder is a great little gadget. I saw this camcorder on the TV program 'Something for the Weekend' on BBC1. They described it a fun, cheap and easy to use camcorder. I have since brought one for myself. I have to say it's defiantly fun, cheap and easy to use! The camcorder has 60 minutes of recording time, runs on two AA batteries and has its own USB connecter integrated, this connects to any laptop or PC via the USB socket. The camcorder is approximately 15 centimetres tall and 4centimeters wide. Simple buttons and on screen prompts make it simple to use even for technophobes. There is no need to download software as it comes in built to the camcorder. The software itself is extremely straight forward to use. It is a very attractive, stylish product and has a screen that flips out so you can see yourself should...

Panasonic does it again

Advantages: Range of features, quality
Disadvantages: Single tuner

...Introduction Having bought a nice new television (Recently reviewed) I was looking for a new DVD player to go with it and knowing a bit about Hifi and Home Cinema I opted for a player from the same brand Panasonic. I have always been very impressed with any Panasonic product I have owned or seen in a home. After a little look around I opted to buy this player as I had heard great things about it and some of the other products in the DIGA Range so I choose the Panasonic DIGA DMR-EX79 and here is my review. The Look When Choosing a new DVD Player I wanted to get one that was as smart looking as the new television I had just bought. One thing about Panasonic products I like so much is that they have a great look and this player is no different, It looks very smart in it's Piano black casing and as usual the remote is very concise...

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...
