Sony Cyber-shot: DSC-V1 is an excellent camera

Advantages: Excellent pixel rate, memory sticks cheaper than before
Disadvantages: UPDATE YEAR LATER : BATTERY DEAD!!! SEE BOTTOM OF REVIEW

...This is the best digital camera I have ever had. My Mum who saved up for Christmas to give it to me gave me it. She got it for 300 pounds, which seems to be cheap compared with everyone else?s price. Well-done Mum! My favourite thing of this camera is that there is a handy night-vision mode so you can see in the dark. It looks quite odd, but it is amazing. You can also change the brightness, and also choose from options for the weather conditions. You can also change the quality of the picture from Very fine, fine, medium and low. If you use low, it is still okay quality but it is not as good as very fine. The advantage of using this is that you can have more room for photos. The camera has an AMAZING 5 MEGAPIXELS which is absolutely tops. In its price range, this is groundbreaking, and it is Sony. Apart from the mode...

Review of Sony Cyber-shot DSC-V1

Sony DSC -V1 5 mega pixels - Excellent

Advantages: automatic, manual settings,built in flash,zoom,5 mega pixels.
Disadvantages: Battery life short,slow warm up and shut down.

...If you want to have some control over your pictures the manual settings on the Sony give you plenty of scope being able to change shutter and aperture settings. Having said that the automatic settings are excellent and cope with most conditions from snow to night scenes. Picture quality is excellent which you would expect from the Carl Zeiss lens. The movie setting gives reasonable quality moving clips with sound although not the best i've seen when filming fast action such as sport, as the focus tends to drift. The built in flash is excellent sensing when to fire and can also be manually controlled and provides really good fill in flash for scenes where shadows are a problem. The results are very natural. The zoom provides a wide angle which makes landscapes more dramatic. The zoom is adequate for portraits but is limited if...

Review of Sony Cyber-shot DSC-V1

Titleist Pro V1X

Advantages: Great name in golf balls
Disadvantages: Not really for high handicappers

...I'm not really into the science of golf balls, all I know is that there are good balls and not so good balls. I wouldn't play with golf balls that cost 20p per ball such as Donnay because they don't feel nice to hit and yes on the golf course you just don't use Donnay to play low rounds and in tourneys. I tried a titleist Pro V1X today in a Stableford tourney off white tees so I had a little extra yardage to play, I mostly use Titleist PTS Solo because they are designed for mid to high handicappers, and I can hit them, so they work for me. Titleist have brought out this new breed of ball, and as i said I don't know the science so i'm not going to say there is this and there is that, etc. All i know is that these balls are designed to cut out spin, have a lower flight and create more distance, however, I never saw any of that. To me...

Review of Titleist Pro V1x

Organic and Vegan Happy Meals - at V1 Nottingham!

Advantages: Vegan, Organic, gluten free - something for all needs here. Good quality too!
Disadvantages: Only one is in Nottingham. More expensive than Mcdonalds

...From the window of V1 you can look across at McDonalds and think, while you are eating your organic ‘happier’ meal that you might be eating something that actually hasn’t trampled the environment. In fact there’s a chance that you’re actually eating something healthy and having fast food!. Additionally your meal tastes great and was made by individually to order and doesn’t contain lots of gruesomely farmed titbits. V1 is a fast food outlet in Hounds Gate, Nottingham next door to Deli France and opposite Subway – oh and of course McDonalds! It caters for Vegetarians and Vegans. As a result a kind of conscientious approach to the menus ripples through their offerings. V1 isn’t just for Veggies and vegans. The great thing about V1 is that you can also go there if you have to be careful what you eat. They have a handy folder available...

Review of V1 (Nottingham)

Pro V1x performance is second to none

Advantages: Great distance and feel
Disadvantages: Price

...you can find them for less. This is downfall of the Pro V1 but the performance levels are significanly better than onther ball, appart from the Bridgestome B330's (as they are exactly the same ball just with a differnt name) My advice would be, If you have the money to spare go for these balls as the all over perfomance is outstanding....

Titleist Pro V1 - the best ball yet

Advantages: great feel and distance
Disadvantages: cost

...I have been playing golf for 15 years and always play with a Titleist ball. It's something of a habit, but the ball suits my game. In cold wet conditions I'll play with the pts wound ball, and in dry summer conditions the professional balata. That was until I tried the newest product from Titleist, the pro V1. It is the tour professionals choice of ball combining both distance and feel.It is longer off the tee than the balata ball but gets enormous spin around the green. I'm not sure how Titleist have done it, but I was amazed at the extra length I got off the tee and the control and spin I got around the green. Putting with it is a dream, the ball doesn't fly off the putter like the wound ball. At the moment the cost of the ball will put off all but the most accomplished golfer, at £35 a dozen you don't really want to 'lose' a ball...

  Enter the Sony!

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

...why Sony released this and I can also see what they have tried to change and why. Have they now ironed out any small wrinkles in their early models and released a DSLR that truly can turn the heads of even a professional photographer? Read on to find out! The Sony A350 has a huge 14.2 megapixels rising above the 10.1 offered in the earlier models, mega pixels are not the be all and end all but having more of them rather than less is always an advantage. Having 14.2 megapixels at your finger tips allows you to crop tiny portions out of your original image without losing clarity on your finished picture. More and more photographers these days are finding pictures within pictures once they get the images on a pc screen. Just the other day I took what I thought was a marvellous picture of a busy street in the rain but when I put it...

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)

It cant get better than this...PRO V1

Advantages: Very Long (excellent distance), Very soft, Good spin control, Durable, Easy to find!!
Disadvantages: Wouldn`t recommend it for fast and soft greens!!

...Golfers from all over the world have now the priviledge of playing with the new improved Titleist Pro V1. This is the number 1 golf ball in the PGA tour, and the fact that Tiger does not play with it, doesn`t mean is not good!! As a matter of fact 8 out of the top 10 players last year on the PGA tour played with this ball and most of them will not switch to another ball even if the offer them a juicy contract...why?..simply becuase they know that this is THE BEST GOLF THERE IS. This New Improved Pro V1 , now comes with more distance, more spin control (doesn`t spin back as much as the first Pro v1), higher durability (this is impressive you can play 18, 36, 45 holes with the same ball and if you are a decent player the ball might even continue being "useable") and with all the new technology available. I am scratch player and I play...

Review of Titleist Pro V1x

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...
