A Low Cost Ricoh Printer

Advantages: Price and Speed
Disadvantages: Support Documentations

...With the SP C222DN, Ricoh has entered the market of low cost color laser printers. However with the cutting of post, the quality has also gone down. The print performs decently but not up to the mark. The problems start as soon as you begin the installation process. There is a huge guide which has all the necessary details. The instructions are pretty clear. At first, you are asked to move to the -'Software Installation guide' for network connection. You are supposed to get the next set of instructions here, however these instructions are difficult to understand and inadequate. Some very important steps and key points are missing. Along with the printer, you get a CD which contains details about the USB installation. This make things tough as the USB details are only in the CD and thus not easily available. The remaining documents...

Review of Ricoh Aficio SP C222DN

Learning with Ricoh

Advantages: Economic when bought, great intro to SLR
Disadvantages: Outdated now

...for constant battery charging and replacing that make digitals annoying when you spot something that demands a photograph right away. I've used all kinds of 35mm film in the Ricoh and have a preference for bulk Ektachrome, rolled on in small quantities. Producing one's own slides from such film in a little developing tank, gives an insight to the photographic process that is a learning curve all of its own. The camera is heavy by modern standards - but just convince yourself that weight is quality in this type of situation.! It has the usual facility for tripods, and flash, and all the range of colour and special effects filters. This is the system that allows for real creativity - not just standard digital alteration. I use the digital snappers very happily - see review on FujiPix 610 - but that Ricoh was photography as real art.!...

Review of Ricoh Caplio R6

Didn't Ricoh used to manage Arsenal?

Advantages: stunning pictue quality, large memory capacity, easy to use, anti-vibration feature
Disadvantages: price, look and availability

...The first thing many readers will think when looking at this review is "oh my god" how ugly is that camera?", and possibly as a secondary thought, "who the hell are Ricoh, didn't he once manage Arsenal?". The answers to these questions are so obviously yes, it is a ugly mother of a camera and no, that was Bruce Rioch, but I stray from the subject matter so on with my thoughts on the camera. Cost & Availability: I will admit here, I don't own the Ricoh Caplio R6, but I have used it regularly now for over 4 months both larking around and while giving serious demonstrations to the potential buyers. More often than not the price is a big turn off with most customers. We are an independent electrical retailer and we have this item tagged at £279.99 in our shop but this does include a 2GB memory card. The cheapest I have seen this...

Ricoh Caplio RR30

Advantages: superb macro and virtually no shutter lag
Disadvantages: None

...Main features 3.21 megapixel CCD which means you can print good quality up to A4 3x optical zoom (35-105mm in 35mm camera format) which gives you a little true zoom, beware of digital zoom as this is no different to blowing up the picture on your computer. Good selection of shutter speeds from 8sec to 1/1500sec so almost all situations can be covered eaisily 1.5" TFT (approx. 113,000 pixels) which is a good size and can be seen clearly in all but the brightest situations Exposure modes: Centre weighted, spot and multi give you a good choice and for more specalist photography Internal 8MB memory is not much use. I have 2 256 Mb SD cards (approx £75) It only takes two AA batteries which last a fair time but if you opt for the Litium Ion rechargeable it lasts for ever (£35) But saving the best till last It's really easy to use...

Ricoh Caplio R5

Advantages: Great value for money, High resolution, Wide zoom, Large Screen
Disadvantages: No rangefinder, black and white manual

...The reason I bought this camera was because I didn't have a proper standalone digital camera at the time and the 2 megapixel one on my phone wasn't exactly professional standard. I chose to get a 7 megapixel camera because this resolution seemed like it had enough quality to print the pictures off without any pixelation occuring (even when enlarged greatly) yet at the same time each image would not take up a huge amount of space on your memory card. The reason I chose to get this camera instead of another camera with the same resolution was because it has a very large optical zoom which I though would come in useful (and it has, as I explain later). The pros of this camera completely outweight the cons. The main feature which gives it an advantage over any other digital camera of the same resolution is it's optical zoom capability. 7...

RICOH Caplio G3 recommended

Advantages: Light, compact, and loads of features
Disadvantages: Heavy on batteries (use rechargeables!)

.... The Macro setting is brilliant for flowers and insects, as you can get within 1cm! I haven't found any use for the microphone setting, either by itself or with a still shot, but I have used the movie setting quite often for recording bands etc. This gives you up to 2 mins of movie clip at a time, and whilst this isn't a camcorder, you can move the camera, although zooming in/out is to be avoided as it gives a jerky picture, but the sound quality is fine on my PC. You can change the ISO and flash settings (including red eye/automatic settings), and add the date to your photos - all through a series of menus on the LCD screen. Photo quality can be between N640 and F2048 - I find that N640 gives me good enough quality for printing and e-mailing photos, and a 128Mb SD Memory card gives me around 800 photos. It gets through batteries...

Gears Of War 2

Advantages: Fantastic Gameplay and Playability
Disadvantages: Not your typical 3rd person shooter (taking cover is required!)

...The heavy hitting "Gears Of War" was a giant step into the world of future gaming, it's mind blowing in-game graphics and fantastic gameplay gave birth to a game which was not only playable once..but endless! times."Gears Of War 2" packs a much larger punch.With a lot of hours placed into the making of GOW:2 to guarantee fans of the original be satisfied, they have managed to make a game which will not only test your skill but will force you to think up a cunning strategy..or a thousand.Computer A.I (in game characters) will react to your every move,which is good if your pinned down behind a blown up vehicle with constant fire and need a hand from a comrade.However this can also be reversed in the way that if you have a enemy locked down your iron sight...he is going to call in his "friends" to help get you out his path.Gears 2 is all...

Review of Gears of War 2 (Xbox 360)

Apple MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.5 GHz - 17" TFT

Advantages: nice screen, good battery life, fast specs
Disadvantages: large size (price?)

...Apple mac-books, where to start... ok, so to start, it is an apple, that means you get a solid quality product and on the whole very good customer are. this particualar apple is deffinatly more suited to being a media center than other laptops. At first glance you realise that it is a fairly large laptop, this allows for a big screen, which being an apple ffers clear vivid displays, unfortunatly the big screen increases the overal size and also uses more battery, however, the 4.5 hour yattery is still very good for an entertainment laptop. The laptops technical specs include a very fast 2.5 ghz dual core proccesor which is very fast, the dual core allows it to tackle multiple tasks quicly as well as increasing the overall speed of the laptop. The price is quite steep however, but i believe, if given the money, it is...

my gears of war 2 review

Advantages: great graphics, Fun
Disadvantages: Slow matchmaking

...Campaign I really enoyed the first campagin but as money reviewers stated it was quite short and the ending did annoy some. Thankfully the story is much better off this time round. The story follows macrus and dom on an emotional story to finish off the locust and find doms wife maria. Presentation As gears of war 1 looked so incredible many different reviewers questioned if gears of war 2 could look any better than the first. But since epics showing of the newly updated unreal engine peoples minds started to beleive and gladly they did. The graphics are incredible, bascially mindblowing. They have improved alot than the first gears of war, with added extras like new water effects you cant go wrong. Multiplayer The multiplayer is pretty much the same as the first but with some tweaks. Firstly the shotguns damgaed has been...
