...Panasonic (also Technics) are both brand names of Matsushita Electric Industrial Company Ltd. of Japan, one of the World's largest consumer electronics manufacturers, and ranked third on the Fortune 500 Electronics & Electrical Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. Ltd, also established a number of manufacturing plants and the company now employs around 4,000 people in the UK. Size matters - 50 inches remember, the screen is measured diagonally. It is of course HD ready. The average sized remote control is a doddle to use. (I was half expecting it to be as big as a keyboard) The weight is just under 40 Kgs, Panasonic UK was established in 1972.

Review of Panasonic TH-50 PZ 70

Panasonic TH-50PZ700U

Advantages: LIFE SPAN DOUBLED AND SUPER PICTURE
Disadvantages: NONE

...Panasonic TH-50PZ700U is the best screen available bar none,if you were considering buying a bew screen then i say forget about lcd's why well they might claim better picture's on still's (i.e still picture's,not moving) but how much time do you spend watching paused tv,not much (me neither ),so why buy lcd ? simple dont....buy a plasma instead, bad points well lcd's suffer ghosting and juddering very badly i dont even see how they are aloud to be sold in shops. so what is ghosting and juddering well to put it simply its when the picture stutters lcd's do it when fast moving images appear on screen they cant cope and sutter like crazy.its like wacthing some one dance under a strobe light. thats were plasma's are best they are super at fast moving image's so bring on the action film's thats were this plasma comes in, its the best...

The 50th Law - the new entrepreneur's bible

Advantages: clear, presice how to ideas, easily used
Disadvantages: not for everyone

...The collaboration between 50 cent and Robert Greene seems a bit confusing at first. It would seem unique to say the least. The first question would be who the intended audience maybe? The authors have there own distinct following, Greene a middle aged, business market while 'Fiddy' has a worldwide following of mainly young rap fans. Middle America meets the angry rising youth of the ghettos exactly half way, equally applicable to the board room as it is to the mean streets of Queens, New York. The book strikes a unique balance and makes for an interesting read as it provides an urban take on The 48 laws of power, one of Greene's earlier books. Needless to say the book is full of full of knowledge including street smarts, the type of stuff you don't simply get a chance to learn in college. The book advocates the importance...

Review of The 50th Law - Robert Greene, 50 Cent

Panasonic TH-42PX70

Advantages: Good value, good image quality
Disadvantages: Sound quality is probably the major disappointment here, not a true 1080p screen

...Having recently purchased this television - it has encouraged me to write my first Ciao review. APPEARANCE: Its a good looking TV, shiny black edges and very flat - good for wall mounting. PS this tv does not come with a pedestal or wall mount - these have to be purchased separately. CONNECTIVITY: I found it to be a little licking in this. It has 2 HDMI, 2 Scart, Component inputs, Audio in and our as well as RF in and VGA. Although this is quite a range, I think that it could be better - S-VIDEO would have been nice. Newer panasonic models have an SD card slot - you can use this to view photos from your digital camera on the tv, but only if you use SD cards in the camera note, which is not the case for many of us. PICTURE QUALITY: Excellent - this is why I love Panasonic. Having asked many professionals before purchasing...

Panasonic TH-42PX60EN

Advantages: Cheap, Great Picture
Disadvantages: No Upscaler, NOt Full HD only 720p

...This Plasma HDTV I have had for a year now and it has not let me down yet. Now I would like to analyse the TV so that the rest of you are convinced on purchasing one.. DESIGN Firstly I would like to say about the design now; it looks fantastic I just love the colour and the sleek design. Now you might be wondering where the hell is the speakers? Well its right under the Panasonic label hidden away under the silver colour. I didn't notice it myself until a few weeks when dust got on it and I was able to see the grills (Speaker holes). I think this is pretty good as you don't have to worry about the speaker making the TV look bad like a lot of TV's I've seed with ugly speakers. All I can say it this saved me a lot of as my living room would not have enough space to have a 42" with speakers on the side. Now the screen of the TV...

Review of a Panasonic TH-42pz81B

Advantages: good with Xbox console
Disadvantages: price

...Review of a Panasonic TH-42pz81B Not a bad bit of plasma kit, a bit expensive but with panasonic you pay for the name, The picture very good, blacks a quite decent, glare of the screen is very low, in High Def full 1080p the picture is very sharp and coulorful, movies are cool like being in the cinema but without the idoit eating skittles next to you. Sound quality is good but if your paying this for a TV you can afford home Cinema system. I found unlike My Lg 42inch plasma this TV works really well with Xbox360 and Playstation 3 console, well up there with LCD for gaming. Good HDMI connection and other ports, would recommend this TV, the only way your going to get anything better is to stump up sony prices...

Review of Panasonic TH-42PZ81B

Panasonic FZ-50

Advantages: High Quality images;wide range of features
Disadvantages: pricey;slow performance

...All in one, D-SLR-style compacts bridge the gap between budget D-SLRs and system cameras, and their main appeal is the large built in zoom housed in the body. The FZ-50 fits nicely into the hand with a distinct handgrip. Both the zoom ring and focusing ring are manual and operate smoothly, and they are weighted well for precise control. The majority of the camera is made from plastic, but it does have a reasonably solid feel and is well made. One thing is for sure, Panasonic hasn?t skimped on the spec for the FZ-50. It packs in a 10.1Mp CCD sensor, moving up from the 8Mp sported by the FZ-30, there is a 12x optical zoom with a 35-420mm range in 35mm terms, and at the wide end lens has a maximum aperture of F/2.8. What?s impressive is that the maximum aperture is fast F/3.7 at the full extension of 420mm. With a 420mm lens you risk...

Review of Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ50EB-K

Panasonic TH-42PWD7 Plasma

Advantages: Good Picture Quality, Easy To Use, Well built
Disadvantages: Not High Definition

...This is a great television on the whole. But if you are considering buying it, then there is one crucial thing that I must point out. Panasonic has designed this television to have the ability to select the inputs that you want. So if you want a scart and a HDMI input, then you buy the boards and slot them in. Many shops will offer this television with preinstalled inputs, but I noticed that the majority of shops offer the television without any boards fitted. The VGA input is built into the tv (VGA is for connecting to PC). So what do the boards cost? Well it really depends upon the input you want, but from major retailers you can expect to pay anywhere from £50-£150. The boards are really easy to install, but access to them at the back of the television is a bit limited. There are four screws that you need to remove to remove...

Review of Panasonic TH-42 PWD 7

THE VISIONARY PANASONIC DVDLV50EBS

Advantages: Compact Dimensions/Price/Great Picture and Sound Quality
Disadvantages: Speaker Sound Quality

...---Overview--- Panasonic is by far one of my favourite electronic companies now and after purchasing this item it has reinforced that argument even further. Having to travel a lot on public transport over long distances can get a bit of a bore, some read a book others exhust the papers while a few gaze out of the window. Now Panasonic have managed to brighten up my life by giving me the escapism I need when travelling from dull location to another, I present the long-winded Panasonic DVDLV50EBS. ---Price--- Compared to a lot of other portable DVD's on the market this is relatively cheap clocking in at around £400 and some stores throw in a couple of free DVD's too! ---Sound/Picture Quality--- There is very little to grumble about the picture quality, the 5" display is very crisp however it could do with some a bit more...

Review of Panasonic DVD-LV 50

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ50 Black

Advantages: fantastic 12x optical zoom and superb image quality
Disadvantages: no case and standard memory card is too small

...We decided to buy a new digital camera just after the birth of our new son back in July. We went to a local camera store and had a look at the promotional publication they had instore. We wanted something with a great optical zoom and digital zoom and were looking for something that would be fairly simple to use- my hubby is a bit of a technophobe and so we had to find something with enough gadgets to do the job and keep me happy, but simple enough so as not to annoy my husband! We decided to buy a panasonic as they have a great reputation, but couldn't pick between three similar models. I spoke to the shop assistant and logged onto kelkoo and eventually decided to buy the Lumix FZ50. The list price was £420, but we bought one from camera4u.com for £366.00 The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ50 Black is a fantastic camera and is very...
