Fuji s602Pro Zoom, good all rounder.

Advantages: Ergonomic feel, lens quality, superb battery life
Disadvantages: Slow with best 6MP setting, poor low light focus.

...batteries, keep the camera on it's tripod all day, and just wait for the wild birds to visit my feeders and get caught on camera.... Being the "Pro" version, it is slightly different to the standard model - the most relevant feature for me is the addition of a remote shutter release cable. I now have a 3m cable release so I dont need to be near the camera to snap a shot. Quite useful if the garden is full of skittish birds, or if I dont want to cause any vibrations in the telescope when Im taking astro shots. The other Pro function is the PC synch socket, but I have to confess, I've never used this feature. I use the camera for astronomy (see my Star Travel 102mm telescope review for more), and one of the only problems I face on a regular basis, is poor autofocus ability in low light levels. However, the scope is fitted with a focussing aid...

Review of Fujifilm FinePix S602 Pro Zoom

Leica S1

Advantages: from Studio direkt to CMYK, superior image quality
Disadvantages: thetered camera, needs continuous light

...This is Leica´s very first selfmade digital camera. With the LEICA S 1 Pro, Leica Camera, Solms, has managed to further increase the imaging quality and productivity of the digital studio camera. This increase in performance is achieved with a remarkable sensor which results in a maximum data quality at a high signal to noise ratio. This has a4-fold increase in light sensitivity, meaning that even critical photographic situations at low levels of illumination can be handled more effectively. The photographer can use the modeling light of his or her existing studio flash equipment for taking the shots, for instance. The new sensor - including Binning and Anti-flicker - provides a 14 Bit signal for red, green and blue colours which is processed in a 16 bit data path. This results in clean colours without noise or blooming. All...

Review of Leica S1 Pro

Fujifilm s602 pro.

Advantages: Packed full of features, super macro mode is the best in its class!
Disadvantages: so many features its quite difficult to use at first, you can now buy the s7000!

...Purchased the pro version for my birthday last year. I had found an excellent deal - i managed to get the pro version for £30 more than the standard one. Basically this is a 3megapixal camera which interpolates to 6 megapixal. In fairness this does not offer the image quality at 6mp of a true 6pm camera. however its very close to it. Boot up times are very quick, loading in around 3 seconds. The pro version adds the following features: Studio flash socket 340mb microdrive (somehow I had a 512mb micro drive - no complants there as they are around £80.00 a piece!). Cable release thread All in all the only reason for the average user to go for the pro version is the bargin of a cheap IBM microdrive (the standard and pro versions also come with a 16mb smart media card - ok but at best resolution you can't fit even one image...

Pro camera at silly price

Advantages: cheap, well built, cheap accessories, loads of bits on ebay excellent quality
Disadvantages: not little, not light, small screen, hard to get Smart Media cards anymore

...I own 2 Fuji cameras the S9600 and the S8000fd, these were purchased last summer to take photographs at some local music festivals for a local newspaper (times and star). After being hooked back into taking photos with an (almost) proper camera I started considering buying a full on DSLR, the problem is that the S9600 is such a good camera that bettering it would be hard (and very expensive) so I gave up. Enter E-Bay and after a couple of silly bids I won a second hand Fuji Finepix S2 pro for under £140 and a bit more shopping landed a 70 - 200mm lens for under £60, so I bought a slightly old very good DSLR for under £200! OK so the Fuji may be a little big and heavy compared to some of the new DSLR's it can still manage a 12Mp interpolated image thanks to Fuji's Super CCD. Many of the Pro photographers that work for the local paper...

Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000 an excellent buy

Advantages: Produces a really good quality picture
Disadvantages: Expensive and sometimes struggles in low light conditions

...The Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000 is an excellent webcam that produces a really crisp and clear picture at the other end.

The Pro's Of Pro Namel

Advantages: Helps to strengthen tooth enamel. Improves general oral health.
Disadvantages: Steep pricetag. Potentially leaky cap.

...After recently visiting the dreaded dentist, I was informed that I had a major problem with acid erosion on the enamel of my teeth, which means basically that my teeth are being worn away at a worrying rate. As a result, when reading a magazine, which my girlfriend had bought, I noticed an advert for a new toothpaste from Sensodyne designed to combat acid erosion. That toothpaste was called Sensodyne Pro Namel. Firstly, a touch of sciency healthy stuff: - Acid erosion is now a problem affecting more and more people here in Britain. With more fizzy drinks being consumed, the problem is only going to get worse, and even stuff like acidic fruit (oranges, lemons etc) can cause a problem, as can anything with citric acid as a preservative in. Even brushing your teeth to vigorously can cause them to wear away at an increased rate. One...

Review - The HTC Touch Pro 2

Advantages: well designed, good touchscreen, good QWERTY keypad, improved sofware, good widescreen display
Disadvantages: Expensive, no spec bump, no flash module, heavy

...piece. To activate the speaker all you do is turn the phone onto its face, this automatically activates it, this also works if you are already on the phone and want to let other people in the room join in the conversation? I tried this and it worked perfectly. This works so well for a three reasons. Firstly, a woofer and tweeter have been built into the speaker to improve sound clarity. Secondly, HTC have installed two microphones to pick up a clearer sound, and, Thirdly, a chip has been designed to cut out background noise and focus on the speakers voice. All round, the HTC Pro2 is a very satisfying handset to look at? but so was the original, its problems arose when it actually came to living with it, and it is these areas which needed improving. Improvements The Pro2's predecessors, were let down...

SDR S26

Advantages: Size, quality, reputation, ease of use. truly pocket size
Disadvantages: none

...Having been stuck with a busted camcorder on the morning on an important family visit, I dashed to a major electrical store to source a replacement, stumbled across this camera, researched the others on display and chose the S26 for ease of use, merit for the make (I bought Lumix TZ5 and have been really pleased with it, quality, capabilities etc, great lens) and general feel for the camera. in my opinion, X70 zoom works very well, resolution excellent for an "older" user and their "junior" assistants. I think that Transfer speed is not rapid, but "so what" in a camera at this price point. Very happy to recommend for general everyday trouble free use. BUT buy it on line for £60 less than the big stores and be even more satisfied that I am Ron...

Sony MSX-M512S 512mb

Advantages: Fast, Small
Disadvantages: Possibly not enough space

...This is a great memory stick it is compatible with many electrionics made my mainly sony. I got this free when i purchased a w800i and i found it very handy as the phone did not have a very large memory only 32mb, this is like space for only 5 songs or 30 picture files depending on the quality. This on the other hand this memory card has 512mb which is like 16x more space as the phone memory. Now that is a lot. Now the fransfer speed details for this priduct is listed below: Transfer: 159 Mbit/s (20 MB/s) Minimum write speed: 15 Mbit/s Maximum write speed: 80 Mbit/s (High Speed PRO Duo) This means that if you have a device that is capable of transfering up to the full speed of this memory stick then you will be able to fill it up within 30 secs as the transfer rate is 20mb/s. This memory card is highly used and fully...
