dmc fz28

Advantages: Light weight,compact,superb picture quality,broad range of applications
Disadvantages: None

...I have to say it was a dificult decision for me in buying a top of the range compact digital camera. My original idea was to replace my Nikon compact that i have had for 4 or 5 years . I have also got an SLR and all the associated lenses adaptors and all the gizmos you can think of.My aim was to buy a digi SLR to replace the 2 cameras. but as i looked into it i eventually decided that some of the bridge cameras met all my needs and i finally made the decision that i did not want to carry all those flippin lenses around.I really like taking pictures of wildlife and scenery so either i would have to buy a very expensive zoom lens or carry 2 (at least)lenses with me at all times.after studying magazines and talking to various people with top of the range digi cameras of various makes (Fuji,Samsung,kodak etc.)I decided on the FZ28. May i...

Review of JVC AV-28X4

Advantages: Advantages - excellent picture quality for price range, solid build quality
Disadvantages: Disadvantages - not as many options and features as other widescreens on the market, the stand is not aesthetically great

...First off if you are looking for a 28 inch television under £450 then this JVC all rounder is definitely worth investigating. Its picture quality is very impressive and sharp for this price level, showing colours clearly and brightly. The 100hz picture scan (twice as much as the typical 50hz picture scan for this price range) ensures the picture is less blurry than many of this tv's competitors, and text can be clearly read on screen without straining your eyes, unlike on some cheaper televisions. The AV-28X4's sound quality is decent enough, but you can get better for the money. Unusually the speakers are below the screen, rather than each side, meaning the stero sound effect is not as noticeable as on some televisions. The sound is by no means bad, but if you want a home move experience, then you will need to attach some external...

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 - Next best thing to an SLR?

Advantages: Monstrous zoom, Intelligent Auto, Price
Disadvantages: None that occur

...-coated protruding grip. In terms of size and weight, it sits between the Fuji FinePix S1500 and the Canon PowerShot SX10 IS, measuring 118mm (4.6in) x 75mm (3in) x 89mm (3.5in) and weighing in at 417g (14.7oz) with battery fitted. The controls are well situated and well labelled and the menus are easy to understand and navigate, having an additional superimposed Quick Menu feature that is controlled with a little multi-directional joystick on the back (a little small for my big hands if I'm honest). Like most Lumix cameras, the strength of the FZ28, especially for those who are new to photography, is the all-encompassing Intelligent Auto mode, which handles Scene Selection, ISO, Exposure, Face-Detection, etc, and handles it all so well. Of course, for the more adventurous, there are 22 preset scene modes (5 of which are conveniently situated...

Logitech X-230

Advantages: clear sound, very low noise
Disadvantages: remote control would be nice

...An easy, plug'n'play sound system in cute-looking body with great performance. I was looking for new speakers for my laptop but then I decided I wanted more than just speakers and started searching through the lists of 2.1 and 5.1 sound systems. Originally I was about to buy a 5.1, but I realized such a set wouldn't be smart for a laptop which I wanna carry around and have it now on my desk, then on my bed, then on the floor etc, for which a 5.1 felt too much of cables and mass. I'm happy about my decision since the Logitech X-230 has proven to live up to the expectations based on what they promise, the sound is clear, full and I find it great for both music, games or movies. The subwoofer bass is strong and full, perfectly satisfying for almost cinema movie experience. You can hear hardly any noise and the volume range is wide enough...

28 days later

Advantages: great fast paced movie with plenty of action and horror
Disadvantages: none

...Director: Danny Boyle Producor: Andrew Macdonald. Writer: Alex Garland Stars: Cillian Murphy, Naomie Harris, Christopher Eccleston, Brendan Gleeson and Megan Burns. Released in late 2002 (2003 in the US) this near 2 hour zombie horror set in Great Britain sees the downfall of the country as a mutating virus spreads throughout? **BRIEF PLOT** When animal rights activists break into a medical research facility and release a chimpanzee, little do they realise that they are about to change the world until it is too late. The Chimps have been deliberately infected with "Rage", (a virus which turns the host into a vicious cannibal with a single desire? to eat human beings), it is not long before the majority of the country is infected by the virus, with only a few pockets of un-infected people trying to survive? 28...

28 Days Later

Advantages: Differant ending and can be quite imaginative in places
Disadvantages: an average film

...Ok, so im writing this review just because I can and im slightly bored with nothing else to review (yet). Set on the island of great Britain, this post apocolyptic survival horror wass directed by Danny Boyle and released 2002 and spawned the sequel 28 weeks later in 2007. The film is about a virus that rapidly spreads through Britain with in 28 days (coincidence?ï??) The story begins with a group of British Animal rights activists breaking into and animal research centre to release captive chimpanzees but are warned by a worker that they are infected by some thing he refers to as ?rage? but as you could get they release the chimp which subsequently attacks and infects the people which of course then break out and infect the rest of the population. The scene cuts out and we then see a young man, Jim, who wakes up from a coma to...

28 Days Later ... the infected are here!

Advantages: Frity British horror film
Disadvantages: None

...***Why I watched 28 days later*** As I true horror fan I always try to watch new film releases. Unfortunately for me my partner does not share my enthusiasm so most of the time I only end up watching the film when they are released on dvd. I love the original zombie style horrors so when I read a review about a new British post-apocalyptic horror film by director Danny Boyle (Trainspotting, The Beach) I flew down to the video shop to rent it. ***The cast*** Cillian Murphy as Jim (Red Eye, Batman: The Dark Knight) Naomie Harris as Selena (Pirates of the Caribbean, Miami Vice) Brendan Gleeson as Frank (Harry Potter films, Bowulf) Megan Burns as Hannah (Liam) Noah Huntley as Mark (Emmerdale, Holby City) Christopher Eccleston as Major Henry West (Cracker, Doctor Who) ***28 Days Later*** The film kicks of with a team of animal rights...

X-530

Advantages: Price/quality, look
Disadvantages: sensitive to interference

..., Most people aim at good quality sound in PC's. Often good sound card is not enough and better speakers must be bought. That means spending more money for good stuff, or less for cheaper brand. Not necessarily when considering Logitech X-530 5.1 speakers. First some esential tech data: Total pow RMS : 70 Watts Total peak pow: 140 watts Cable lenght: center:160cm front: 140cm/180cm rear: 450cm Installation is as simple as possible and described weel in manual. Very attractive design gives it professional look. Whole set is assembled with high quality components both inside and outside. Unfortunately there are too many cables and subwoofer looks like attatched to big spiderweb, however are quite thick and strong. Center, front, and subwoofer speakers cables are quite short; even for desktop use lenght is...

Review of Logitech X-530

X-540

Advantages: Great price,great sound quality, matrix button gives great 5.1
Disadvantages: Lots of wires!, Remote on quite a short wire

...Logitech X-540 Surround Sound. I ordered ths off amazon for 49.99, it was sent by courier (Home Delivery Network Ltd) and arrived within 2 days of ordering. Very easy to set up and great price for full 5.1 surround sound. Took 10 mins to hook it up to my Xbox and is amazing while playing Gears of war :D... First thing you notice is the weight contained in the small box the Speakers come in,its about 1ft square and contains 1 Bass and 5 satellite speakers, each individually packed in plastic bags. The bass unit is quite bulky and for optimal quality should be placed on the floor, but if you dont have much room, (like me) then you can put it it behind your TV or something... The base is the main part of the speaker set up, on the back are about 8 jacks for you to plug in the seperate speakers and inputs. Each is colour coded so its...

Review of Logitech X 540

28 days later

Advantages: it is a quality
Disadvantages: it is not a brand new film

..."28 years later" by Danny Boyle Most definitely, this is a scariest film seen recently. Something meant to become a cult film. A proven Danny Boyle’s geniality…."It will have you on the edge of your seat"…." So real, so possible, so simple...so Boyle this is. Clear and simple, scary and upsetting. Most definitely there are different kind of horrors. The sort of ‘Scream’ horrors and the second kind more warning kind about catastrophes, on things that actually can happen if we are not very careful. With horrors such "28 days later" we are always more careful because it suppose the reality that might happen. However, I think that this is sort of female horror. The kind of movies that women like, because it has the background story that allows a little bit more than just horror, in the company of so simple...
