Review of Remington S 2003 HIGH Protection

High up a mountain

Advantages: Great vocals. tracks
Disadvantages: One more ballad?

...**Introduction** This is the third instalment of my Yolanda Adams reviews after reviewing "Believe" and "Day By Day" which were two of the three Yolanda Adams albums I requested for review a couple of weeks ago. Mountain High Valley Low is the third and final instalment for now and was the the first of the three released in 2000 compared to 2001 for Believe and 2005 for Day by Day, So with the release of her latest album this year I decided to complete the three requested album reviews now. **Mountain High...Valley Low** This is Yolanda Adam's major record label debut courtesy of the Elektra label. With a major label comes major names and that's the same here with two major names from the world of Music. Joining her on the album is the phenomenally successful production duo of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis As well as Keith Thomas. This...

Review of Mountain High Valley Low - Yolanda Adams

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...

Review of Panasonic SDR-S26

High Crimes, No Enjoyment

Advantages: Tries to make Courtroom Drama appeal to a wider audience
Disadvantages: It fails due to bad direction and a weak script

...I’ve always found books and films based on courtroom Drama’s to be quite interesting. I’m a huge fan of Grisham’s novels and absolutely love films like “Rules Of Engagement”. So when I heard about “High Crimes” I decided this would be a good choice for Saturday evening viewing. I was also swung by the fact Morgan Freeman was one of the leads. This led me to believe it could be an alright film as he doesn’t normally do bad films. As far as the plot goes it’s not too complicated to follow. Claire Kubik (Ashley Judd) is a big time Lawyer working for a top law firm and is about to make partner. That is until her Husband (Jim Caviezel) is arrested by the US Military for alleged crimes he committed some 10 years earlier. He is being charged with the murder of 10 villagers after...

Review of High Crimes (DVD)

Summer Heights High - A Triple Threat!

Advantages: Hilarious laugh out loud comedy - when you understand it
Disadvantages: This will probably be the only series

...the Australian of the year competition, Lilley playing all five contestants, and the final of the competition. It is here, one of Summer Heights High?s finest exchange students first appears. The series consists of 8 half hour long episodes, set in sequence following the life of a term at Summer Heights High, a state school in the suburbs. As already alluded to, it follows the lives of three very different characters in the school. Each gives the impression of living their everyday lives whilst being followed be a camera crew for a documentary series looking at their school and their lives within it. Each episode cuts seamlessly across their lives, from one character to the next, with them having small segments of a few minutes at a time. This is understandable as Lilley would have struggled to play the individual characters so well if they...

Review of Summer Heights High (DVD)

Fuji FinePix S1500. Descendant of the S1000fd

Advantages: Huge zoom, Focus Tracking, Easy to use
Disadvantages: Bulky, A little slow, AA batteries are a bit inconvenient

...The Fuji FinePix S1500 is the latest incarnation of the very successful FinePix S1000fd. It is very SLR-like in appearance and the added bulk of the battery-holder/grip does give it an assured feeling in your hands. Of course, this can be a disadvantage, and if you want a camera that you can just slip in-and-out of your pocket, then maybe a slimmer compact should be considered. The 12x optical zoom is excellent and it equates to 33-396mm in 35mm terms - and if this isn't enough, there is a 5.7x digital zoom feature too. The menus are friendly and easy to navigate, and there are helpful explanatory prompts that appear on thew LCD screen when the mode-dial setting is changed. There are 14 preset scenes to choose from, each setting the camera to its optimum settings for the given scenario, but on top of this, the camera can be used...

Remington S9810 Genius Straighteners... not so Genius really!

Advantages: A digital display and the option to change the temperature.
Disadvantages: Poor quality and a horribly expensive price tag.

...have longer length plates meaning it?s quicker to straighten your hair. Remington also state that these have ?floating plate technology? which apparently means they glide through your hair easily, without snagging. The straighteners themselves are a gold colour, although Remington likes to call this a ?Champagne/brushed gold metallic offset with black gloss? to make them sound a bit more ?posh!? The packaging of the straighteners was nice, it gave off the impression that these straighteners are of a high quality, but nothing on the box made them really stand out from the many other straighteners already on the market. With these Genius Straighteners you can choose to set the temperature, between 130?C and 230?c. A handy feature as many people don?t require them to be as hot as 230?C, and many other brands out there boast about their 230...

iPhone 3G S will have you stunned!

Advantages: It's advanced technology and huge variety of features.
Disadvantages: The very low and quickly decreasing battery life.

...is now a touch auto-focus option in which you can touch anywhere within the picture you are going to take, and it will focus in on that object, which was useful for taking far away shots with close up objects or visa versa. The only thing I have to nag about is the battery life. Supposedly Apple have increased the battery life from the last iPhone, and to be honesty I would have hated the last iPhone as the battery life is limited enough on the new version! If you are on a 3G network, the battery life decreases even more than on an Edge network. Also if you then try and use the internet while not connected to a Wi-Fi network, you can watch the battery life decrease before your very eyes! Also using high graphic applications, can significantly decrease the battery life too, The iPhone 3G S includes all the previous features from the i...

Review of Apple iPhone 3G S (3GS)

Get snappy happy with a S760

Advantages: Inexpensive, easy to use, good picture quality
Disadvantages: Some picture freeze at first but rectified with formatting

..., yet so very effective, the Samsung S760 Digital Camera offers a great starting point for anybody looking into the world of digital photography. The camera has 7.2 mega pixel, which we felt was fine for Jack and certainly higher than the one on his mobile phone, a 3x optical zoom lens and an LCD screen over 2 inches square where you can check what your picture will look like and play it back once you have taken it. The camera has Samsung?s own ?face recognition technology? which is designed to give a sharper picture without any messing with dials etc. It also has high sensitivity ISO 1000 technology, self-shot option, digital image stabilization and video capture (which Jack uses to embarrass his brother in law with a video of him singing on the ?Lips? X Box game!!) The camera certainly feels a robust little item and has a minimum...

Review of Samsung S760

samsung s860 digital camera

Advantages: can not recommend it enough for entry beginner camera shooters
Disadvantages: low eleven mega byte internal memory

...happen, the camera does sometimes turns itself off. As a user this causes some frustration. the camera's silver color can scratch and the fingerprint marks against the camera's Liquid Crystal Display screen can show. From the factory settings I noticed that when using the camera, when pressing the shutter button to take a photo, the noise of the button made was a bit unnecessarily loud. The built in menu screen and help guide within the camera enables users to adjust the settings accordingly. ----extra information---- their is a two year manufacturers warranty contained in the box which I bought from a Argos high street store which is important to have as it guarantees the product for two years from the date of purchase. I have so far owned this product for two months with no hassles. This part of the product is a very useful...
