Creative live! Cam video IM pro

Advantages: Great quality picture and video
Disadvantages: Quite pricey compared to other webcams

... Overview I brought my Creative Live! Cam Video IM Pro last year (2006) around about the Easter period as I had been using the MSN messenger service for quite a while and a lot of my friends and family had them and so I thought that it was about time I got one too. Price I first brought my Creative Live! Cam Video IM Pro at a PC world in Canterbury, it cost me about £30, however this was quite a while ago and I have looked around and on the internet I have found the same webcam for around about £20 so do your home work first. Picture The Creative Live! Cam Video IM Pro can take photos at an incredible 1.3 mega pixels which is one of the highest quality still picture capture for webcams and you'll be hard pressed to find better. Video There is additional free software that comes with this...

Pinnacle DC10+ Video capture and editing

Advantages: cheap, fair quality images, easy to use
Disadvantages: needs a good sound card, some capture problems

...The Pinnacle DC10+ is a good few years old now but I thought I'd review it in case anyone was still using analogue video equipment and was looking for something to help them edit their videos. Units regularly turn up on eBay so they should be fairly easy to find if you think it's the device for you. On with the review! Whilst most people have moved over to digital video using either Digital8 or DV, some camcorder users are still more than happy with their Hi8, Video8 and even (shudder) VHS-C machines. The digital users have the luxury of Firewire and its ease of use when capturing and re-recording edited footage. However, the analogue users have to look to slightly more complex hardware to do the job. The Pinnacle Studio DC10+ consists of a PCI card and editing software. The card installs effortlessly as does the software. The card...

X800 Pro - The KING of Graphics Cards

Advantages: Mindblowing speeds. Maxed out frame rate. Looks beautiful. TV out!!
Disadvantages: None.

...as its second in command (the 9800 Pro) I was 100% sure it wouldn't dissapoint. The price? Why just 301 pounds! A few days on and the card arrived at my house, ready to be installed alongside the other components I'd purchased. His Majesty Appears The box design was the usual graphics card fare, big picture of a massive 3D mechanical-looking monster thing with a fetching yellow/black coat of paint on him. Next to this guy theres a brief summary of the box contents, the card and its tv out leads (more on that later.) Upon carefully opening the box I saw what could only be described as a state of the art, ultra modern, goliath of a card. A surprisingly small fan unit was fitted too. The card was massive, (I swear, the manufacturers will have to dual-slot these things someday) at approximately twice the size of my puny...

Review of Connect3D RADEON X800 PRO

Toshiba.....putting the P in PRO!

Advantages: Everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Disadvantages: A clichéd none (but it's true!)

...The product: Toshiba is a well known and excellent brand (and for good reasons too). Toshiba has recently launched a HD (High Definition) camcorder which is very reasonably priced at an average of £149. It is able to record HD videos at a resolution of 1,280x720p (which is excellent in this ever changing technological world). It possesses a 2.5 inch ( 6.35 cm) and even has a swivel screen (which is common in most camcorders nowadays) which can rotate 270 degrees. The product has a very restricted 128 MB internal memory, however this PRO! camcorder supports up to 32 GB (giga bites) memory cards (which is the equivalent to 16 hours of filming). Advantages and other good features of the product: As above the swivel screen can rotate up to 270 degrees: this, in effect, allows the user to capture problematic views ie (the user can film...

Peak performance from Pinnacle

Advantages: Excellent customer services, they phone you, they listen to you
Disadvantages: None that I have come across

...insurance. We pay life insurance in case we die in debt. Who collects it? The poor sod that has paid it, hardly! I could go on but I won’t, as this is a positive review about an excellent company that I had to deal with recently. The name of that company is Pinnacle Insurance PLC. Initially I had no idea that I would be dealing with them but I shall explain that matter as this tale unfolds. As some of you will be aware earlier this year I was unable to work for three months due to a serious incapacity. At the point when I realised that I would not be returning to work as quickly as I had envisaged I remembered that I had some payment protection insurance on the finance that I had taken out to pay for my computer. My original intent was to pay after the 9 months interest free period but I foolishly spent the money. I dug...

Review of Pinnacle Insurance PLC

Toshiba Camileo Pro

Advantages: Easy to use, small and light, fantastic battery life, great video quality, optical zoom.
Disadvantages: Hopeless sound on recorded clips, barely audible on PC.

...At first glance this Toshiba seems to be the ideal small pocket camcorder, it has many great functions including optical zoom. The first one I purchased suffered from an intermittent screen and low sound, this was replaced with no fuss and the second Camileo proved to be a lot more reliable, very good quality video recordings can be made and the controls are simple and well laid out for ease of operation. However the sound is extremely poor on recorded clips. by that I mean almost inaudible, anything more than about six feet from camera will not be heard, even narration from the camera user is extremely low and poor quality, this is a great shame as the camera is superb otherwise, I have borrowed a third Camileo and find that the sound is completely hopeless on it too, seems this is a problem on this range. I would not advise...

Card Factory

Advantages: Great products at low prices
Disadvantages: Long queues and some products a little tacky

...Card buying can be an expensive thing, especially at this time of year and as much as I love the quality of the cards in stores such as Clintons, with my large family I just cannot afford to buy all my family cards from stores such as these at Christmas. So I was pretty impressed with Card Factory opened up a store in my local town recently. For me this store offers good quality products, but at really cost effective prices. Obviously their main market is the card market. They offer cards for all occasions including birthdays, anniversaries, moving, sorry, thank you and general cards too. Their cards are priced at 59p for a small card, 89p for a medium card and 99p for a large card, which for me is excellent value for money. They do extra large cards which do cost a bit more and they also do a couple of cards in each range for just...

Review of Card Factory

The Pinnacle Stratus 3.0 E is a good value hybrid

Advantages: Internal hub gears, sturdy frame, nice finish, responsive ride, great price
Disadvantages: Right brake lever could be longer, high Q factor, poor pedal design

...PINNACLE STRATUS 3.0E Product reviews, out of necessity, are full of relative descriptions and judgements based on comparison with a similar product familiar to the reviewer. Therefore, a reviewer?s experience very much affects the review outcome. Reviewers with little or no experience to call upon are likely to compare the product with their own expectations (be they reasonable or not). My review is no exception but I?ll say up front that my experience of adult bicycles is limited to a GT Tequesta mountain bike (steel frame, 3x7 derailuer gears & no suspension) and two lightweight tourers (both with Reynolds 531 steel frame, one with 700C alloy rims and 2x7 speed derailleur gears and the older tourer with 26? steel rims and Sturmey Archer 4 speed internal hub gears). Each tourer was fitted with new parts as they wore over...

Review of Pinnacle Stratus 3.0 Equipped

iPod Nano Video reveiw, Great new look

Advantages: Plays videos, music and views photos and high quality.
Disadvantages: Not easy to get video to a Ipod compatible format quickly.

...This is a ipod nano. It is great beacuse of the size. It fits easily in my pocket, about the size of a credit card. The main appeal of this ipod is the video feature. The screen is 5.5cm from corner to corner but it has a great picture and the soud is floorless. It can fit quite alot of video before it is full. I have a few full films on it but its still not full. Another new thing for this ipod is the cover flow feture. Great new way to look for a song on your ipod. However it is hard to get artwork for each song. Unless you have an itunes account and even if you do it doesnt always reconise a song. A let down for me is that you cant really add music or remove it without the Itunes program. But this is the same with all iPods ( you can still use other programs but they dont always work) Sleak new look and size makes this...
