A Low Cost Ricoh Printer

Advantages: Price and Speed
Disadvantages: Support Documentations

.... The toner capacity is not very high and hence the price of the consumables is on the higher side. The printer does not do too well in the reliability department. The 'Reliability and Service Survey' gives it's a reliability rating of average. SP C222DN works well for small groups and offices. However the inadequate installation documentations limit its popularity. The design elements are also not up to the mark. Users may find a better printer than this one in the same price range! Ricoh Aficio's SP C222DN color laser printer is cheaper than many of its contemporaries. The printer has good speed and also comes with a one year warranty period. Twenty four hour customer service is available for this printer; throughout the year. The printer is easy to maintain and its running cost is low. This should be my last review before christmas...

Review of Ricoh Aficio SP C222DN

sp does it again

Advantages: great product
Disadvantages: over priced

...My friend used to work for Wella SP and I was lucky to be blessed with some of her samples and although this is a very expensive range it is fantastic, I do not think that I would buy it as the price is a very big off Put, but the products are first class and in a class of their own. Wella SP Perfect Hair is for damaged areas of your hair and protects it against the heat and helps to volumise and strengthen your hair , so it's ideal for use before blow drying or straightening your hair. For the best results apply Wella SP Perfect Hair evenly through towel dried hair, being careful not to use too much or it makes my hair look greasy make sure it is prior to blow drying or straightening for the best results. It also smells great and leaves you hair smelling fresh and clean. This product if you blow dry your hair has saved my...

Review of Wella SP Perfect Hair

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Disadvantages: Outdated now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...

Review of Ricoh Caplio R6

Olympus sp-570, a great compact camera with slr features.

Advantages: Incredible zoom, macro mode and very easy to use
Disadvantages: No rechargeable batteries and uninspiring LCD screen.

...As I opened the box the first thing that struck me was how small this camera is. Expecting something almost the size of an slr, I was pleasantly surprised. This fits comfortably in my hands and by no means needs the neck strap provided with it. Why did I buy this? Well, the zoom primarily. At 20x optical zoom, giving an equivalent of 26-520mm this was far cheaper than buying lenses to fit my dslr covering this zoom range. The zoom range itself is incredible. Although the sp590 uz boasts a 26x optical zoom, for all intensive purposes the 20x provided by the sp570 is more than enough for the ordinary shooter, or even a would be paparazzi. Performance at the end of the telephoto range (full zoom) wasn't great, but still perfectly usable. Image quality in general is very impressive for a non dslr camera, easily beating any...

Review of Olympus SP-570 UZ

GBA SP

Advantages: Comfortable and FUN!
Disadvantages: Needs more games

...I've had my Gameboy Advance SP for a few years now and whilst others have replaced theirs with a Nintendo DS, I'm still happy to play mine, although it is becoming increasingly difficult to get any decent games for it without delving into the shady world of ebay trading. I was given the 'Mario Limited Edition' version of the GBASP as a gift. The bottom section (where the button are) is silver and the top (where the screen is) is red. When closed, the red part has a large red 'M' on it to signify Mario, I assume. I was impressed with the way the GBASP looked. It was much better looking than its predecessor, the original GBA, which was wider and did not fold. The screen is large and clear and displays the gameplay very well. The unit as a whole has a sturdy feel and the fact that, at least four years later, mine is still working...

Advantages: Great Quality Images, Price, Features
Disadvantages: Have to buy additional accessories to use effectively

...Olympus SP570 UZ 10mp digital camera Price: £235-£380 (Price runner winner on price - Camerabox limited) Olympus digital cameras are such a good choice I have had the pleasure of sampling a couple this being one along with the E-510 and again to be honest very similar in deed & the quality of the images is superb so for those of you on a budget (I'm a photographer on a budget (very tight) & this camera is on par with those that cost over a grand - £235 yes please This is a great camera for both amateur & professional photographers, for those who like quality & variety at a great price then you can't go wrong with this piece of kit which is not only functional but is very easy to use.

Review of Olympus SP-570 UZ

Olympus SP-560 UZ

Advantages: compact, light, good features, reasonably priced
Disadvantages: colours can appear dull, especially in low light conditions

...I recently went in search of a digital camera that I will not hesitate to take along with me every time I go out. My current DSLR tends to be left behind a lot, as my back is finally rebelling after years of abuse! Two reasons for looking at a compact, rather than a lighter, newer SLR is that until manufacturers have solved the dust problem with SLR, I will stay away from the DSLR market (a problem not much talked about but which is extremely common!) Before getting on to the review of the Olympus SP-560 UZ, let me give this advice to anyone considering treating themselves this Christmas: buy a compact, as the fixed lens does not allow particles of dust to get onto the CCD, unlike with SLR, a very costly problem! So, there I went, in search of a potential replacement for my DSLR; the first camera I checked out was the...

My Super Special SP 500

Advantages: Combines simplicity with advanced functions
Disadvantages: None yet

...and processing going up and compulsion to print good or bad pictures in a roll, together with building up on huge volume of photos, I decided to go digital! It was hard to choose a product. I prepared a table of about 25 cameras to compare - Pixels, focal length, zoom - both optical and digital, flexibility, programmes, running cost in terms of battery, cost of cards etc. Such comparisons are found in consumer magazines as Which as well. I did my own table as wanted to put in Cameras which met my criteria. I found 2-3 other cameras close to this but finally chose - Olympus SP-500. The camera has following specs- Pixels: 6.0 million effective pixels Lens: 6.3-63mm (35mm film equivalent: 38-380mm) f2.8-3.7. Zoom: 10x optical, 5x digital. Optical zoom is very helpful, try not to use too much digital zoom, compromises with the quality...
