Sony's MDR CD380

Advantages: Cheap, High Quality Sound. Very comfortable.
Disadvantages: None to speak of.

...I came across Sony's MDR CD380 when browsing for some cheap (under 30 pounds) headphones after my old pair suddenly stopped working. They cost me 26 pounds in total, excellent value for what turned out to be an exceptional product. One of the main advantages these headphones exhibit is the comfort, the cushion-like padded earphones feel fantastic on my ears, I sometimes put then on when I'm not even listening to anything! The headphones have a rather intriguing adjustive system attached, that ensures their adjusted correctly to your head while you wear them. It certainly saves time and improves the comfort factor further. The sound quality is great for the price, far superior to my old headphones. The headphones look very modern, the only compliant I have regards to the design is that they aren't available in black, just silver...

Review of Sony MDR CD380

Sony Mavica CD500

Advantages: Excellent macro, good photo in all lighting conditions
Disadvantages: Bulky (by today's standards), expensive to buy

...I've owned this camera for about four years. I bought it after reviewing other cameras in the same price bracket and although the first company I tried to buy it from told me it would be too heavy for a woman (it weighs about 1.5 lbs) I was going from a non-digital SLR that was much heavier. I have never regretted my decision to buy it. The functions are easy to understand and the convenient storage on a CD-RW makes transfer to the computer very straightforward. The macro function is excellent and taking a very close photo of flower is a piece of cake. The results are truly professional. It will take a good photo in all light conditions with or without the flash and for really dark situations it has a projected light grid that shows where the centre of the screen is. I would thoroughly recommend it....

Sony Playstation 3 (PS3)

Advantages: Best Entertainment System Avaliable, Region free games only
Disadvantages: 4GB file limitation External Storage, Cant read NTFS

...I am going to be reviewing possibly one of the biggest console in the market currently the PS3. Firstly I have one and it is great, now let's take a look at it in detail: LAUNCH November 11, 2006: This is when it debut in Japan November 17, 2006: It released in North America March 23, 2007: Finally was released in Europe, Australia, the Middle East, Africa and New Zealand. The UK launch was a shock for who went to it, as it was announced that everyone in the queue would receive a 46" Sony Bravia TV worth £2000. The launches did not turn out great for Sony as initial figures were low, here are the figures below: Worldwide: 5.59 Million - Japan 1,341,000 - North America 2,105,500 - Other 1,300,000 The launch was initially supposed to be as follows: November 11th for Japan and November 17th for North America...

Review of Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3)

  Enter the Sony!

Advantages: Packed with extras, looks good and feels good.
Disadvantages: See review for the very minor con`s.

...Sony are one of the newest companies to venture into the world of DSLR`s, having been producing some quite excellent point and shoot cameras for many years this is a move that most people in the photography world had expected to happen a long time ago and a lot had feared the day it did happen too. The reason many photographers feared Sony entering the DSLR market is simply that it would be hard not to get drawn into what they had to offer but they feared that Sony might find the market too challenging and bale out leaving many photographers with cameras that they could not upgrade and would struggle to find lenses and accessories for. When buying a point and shoot camera you are spending in the region of between 100 and 200 pounds for a top of the range model, whilst when purchasing a DSLR camera you could be looking at spending...

Review of Sony a (alpha) DSLR-A350K

A Great System from Sony

Advantages: Nice Classy Design, Great Graphics, and a Good Online
Disadvantages: Small Gamelist Thus Far and Some Games Suffer From Framerate and Graphical Pop-Up Issues

...Sony's Playstation 3 is thier third go around in the Video Game business. My console reviews usually consist of reviews in the following categories Controller, Graphics, Multiplayer/Online, and Game Library. Much like the Xbox 360, i'll also be reviewing the Design of the PS3. The design of the PS3 is the more classy of the three new consoles. The PS3 is a black square system with a curved top. While the design is beautiful, this system is very big, matching the 360 in terms of size. The system also offers Blu-ray but, in my opinion, that should not be the only reason you should be spending $400-500 on this system. The PS3's controller is the classic Playstation controller once again and that shouldn't be a problem for any gamer. The original PS3 controller was the Sixaxis but is now Dualshock 3. For a company that created...

Review of Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3)

Sony is back with a bang!

Advantages: slick piece of hardware, great games, so much to do!
Disadvantages: not cheap!

...Having just recently won a competition to spend a night with the PS3 I figured it would be a smart idea to do a personal review of the console which everyone will be talking about (in the UK) in a few weeks to come. Please bear in mind that I have only had a chance to test this baby out for a few hours and so my review will not be as in-depth as you might expect. First Impressions The PS3 is indeed a slick looking machine, about the size of it's older brother (PS2) it seems as though finally Sony have caught on to the fact that the outer design of the console is as important to a gamer as the leather interior is to a 2006 Aston Martin V8 Vantage. Gone is that ugly block-like design and in comes a smooth surfaced console with curved edges just begging you to caress them. Much like it's predecessor, the PS3 can be placed...

Sony CD-RW Camera

Advantages: Writes directly to a CD
Disadvantages: Limited video time

...Sony, a company dedicated to bringing you cutting edge electronics, has come out with its third in a line of CD-RW camera. *CD-RW Background The greatest single feature of this camera is its CD-RW capabilities. This new model allows you to take pictures and have you record them directly to CD. It also has a finalization and initiation feature, so you can delete pictures without having them permanently burned onto the CD. Furthermore, with a mini-CDRW you have even more flexibility with what pictures you keep, without spending more money on more discs. *General About two years ago, I purchased the Sony Mavica Digital Camera for about $700 US. I bought it because it could burn to CD's, which could be very easily mailed back and forth between my relatives. It worked great for this purpose. Recently, I purchased the newer model...

Review of Sony Mavica MVC CD300

  Another 5 star Sony!

Advantages: Great functions, east to use, looks and feels good and produces great images.
Disadvantages: The kit lens isnt the best and no live view may bother some.

...- 105 35mm equiv.), NP-FM500H rechargeable battery, BC-VM10 battery charger, Video and USB cables, Shoulder strap with eyepiece cap and Remote Commander clip, Body cap, IDC and IDL Software/USB Driver via CD-ROM( Note: no Memory Stick media nor the adaptors are included and are purchased separately) So if that list of specifications and the review that went before it have not made your mind up then here are another couple of things that may help sway you. The Sony A200 also has an excellent anti-shake mechanism built into the body which means you have no need to buy expensive anti-shake lenses to get those steady shots at low speeds or low light, it can also capture shots in burst mode at up to 3 frames per second and can do this continuously in JPEG shooting until your memory card is full which is great for sports photography and a 10...

Sony CDU928E CD Writer

Advantages: It works sometimes.
Disadvantages: Loads

..., and constantly skips tracks and miss reads data. For a Sony product it's abysmal, and after not using it for only 2 months it will no longer read anything, and the lens is clean, I personally manually cleaned it to eliminate that as the cause. As a final note, the software which is now quite dated has loads of limitations and will not allow over burning or mixed mode making it pretty useless to most people....
