Olympus 8X25 WP I

Advantages: Image adjustments to give great view, waterproof, adjustable eye-relief
Disadvantages: fixed magnification, average build and design quality

...Binoculars are mainly used by bird watchers as to get a closer look at them. Many people also use binoculars for occasions such as holidays where they travel to destinations of natural beauty. Using a binocular enables them to see the scenic beauty from a better and closer perspective. The Olympus 8X25 WPI is labeled professional, but can obviously be used by everyday and ordinary people. These particular binoculars have an 8x magnification ability. This is simply the power of magnification on the binoculars, the 8x magnification means that the object or area you view through the binoculars is going to appear 8x larger or closer. The 8x magnification also means that this is the maximum and minimum magnification power of the binoculars. You cannot view an object or place with a lesser or higher magnification than 8x. If in...

Review of Olympus 8X25 WP I

X25 Photon, or just protons?

Advantages: Ease of use, many interchangeable settings
Disadvantages: AXYZ dome

...Well the Alesis photon X25, is your standard 25 key midi interface, with a few more adjustable settings than most. Looks: With its sleek design, Led lights, an the AXYZ dome. This thing can be beautriful, but mainly by your own opinion. Im sure many would say it is quite some what ugly with the Organge LED's. But as with most things, these LED's are in actualy fact functional. Ease of Installation: After plugging in, all you have to do is dunk the CD into your drive, and follow the instuctions. If you wish to install Cubase LE, an included product with this, then your installation will be a little more complicated, but not a lot. Feel: The keys feel comfortable, however, at times they do not pick up the sound if you play very softly, but generally all is well. The sound changing knobs are well spread out, and the different...

Review of Alesis Photon X25

Also good for peepin' toms

Advantages: Lightweight, Good Image Quality, Compact, Cheap.
Disadvantages: The Case.

...the case includes a belt loop on the back, due the flimsiness of the case, the binoculars lull down and move about a lot on the strap. The second problem with the case is that it is not waterproof, like the binoculars, meaning they will get wet if a downpour occurs. Also the case would be no use in protecting the binoculars if you were to drop them, its just too thin and doesn?t include any padding. (See Fig 3) I would strongly recommend that you invest in a more sturdy waterproof case to prolong the life of the binoculars, especially when using outdoors. I keep the binoculars in my camera bag (Lowepro), as its much sturdier and most of all waterproof. ~~~~ Technical Spec ~~~~ ~ 10x magnification. ~ 25mm lens diameter. ~ Auto focus: No. ~ Type of Prism: Porro. ~ Type Standard/Compact: Compact. ~ Water protection: Not Waterproof...

Review of Praktica 10 X 25 WA

Great binoculars, great price

Advantages: Price, good low light performance
Disadvantages: None that I can think of

...I've had these binoculars for 2 years now, and they've been extremely useful. They were bought for me as a Christmas present, so I don't know exactly how much was paid for them, although a quick browse on the web shows a price around £40. At this price, I reckon these are an absolute steal. By coincidence, at the same time as I was receiving these, I was giving the same person a pair of binoculars in return, the only difference being that they were getting a pair of Leica Trinovid 10X25, which cost over 5 times as much (USD$384 to be precise). I've therefore had a good opportunity to compare the 2, and I think I wasted my money. There's no doubt that the optical quality of the Leica binoculars is slightly better, especially in very poor light, but if you just want a really good product for birdwatching, sports spectating, general...

Review of Nikon 10 X 25 Sportlite

Nice handy pair of Binos

Advantages: Well known make, reliable, compact
Disadvantages: Quite small field of view and magnification

...These binoculars are a very nice pair made by Nikon. They offer 9x Magnification and 25mm Field of View. Due to this they are very compact and fit easily in a pocket and are, as the name suggests good for travel. These binoculars have many positive features, which I will look at now. The first is the make. In my opinion, when it comes to Optical goods and similar, a well-known make is the way to go. Not only do they offer guarantees, but also you can be sure that it will be well made and worth what you pay. These binoculars are no exception. They are small and compact, which means that they don?t need a large bag to carry them in and can be held for long periods without neck ache. The also fit in the palm of your hand or a pocket, so can be carried on your person, on the move. The 9x Magnification is particularly suited to bird watching...

Never mind, Digitals comes cheap with Samsung

Advantages: Read the review
Disadvantages: Mostly but the price

...battery #Screen 2.7 inch LCD #Face detection, auto red-eye removal, a voice recorder, 12 scene modes, a slideshow function #VGA movie mode and a new automatic tool called Beauty Shot. #Dimension: 94.1x62.7x25.2 mm #Digital Image Stabilization #Advance Movie Mode #Color choices: Candy Pink, Silver, White and Dark Grey, Black. Performance: I would definitely say its performance overrides its drab looks. The images were pretty sharp with adequate detail at difficult areas, although image quality could have been definitely better but the shots are decent at certain lighting if you keep in mind the ISO setting to be kept under 400. But it must be underlined that the Samsung ES15 is meant for casual snappers. Menu & Controls: The menu layout control interface is the 4-way control pad which were quite responsive...

Review of Samsung ES15

A Wii for Mii

Advantages: Great fun, good for all ages
Disadvantages: Graphics aren't brilliant

...with our cash which I think was about £179. When we got home we set about unpacking our new toy, I can't remember exactly what was in the box but there was definitely a Wii (YAY) a Wii remote, a nunchuck, sensor bar, stand and all the leads required to get it working oh and of course Wii Sports. Good times. One of the things I like about the Wii is the size, it is quite tiny in comparison with some consoles measuring around 38 x 25 x 11 cm. Even in the smallest of rooms it's not going to take up too much space - although space might be an issue when you come to play some of the games. On the Wii you create characters to represent players which are called Miis, it's quite interesting seeing how people represent themselves with these. The Miis are used in a lot of the games such as Wii Sports, Wii Fit and Big Brain Academy. Wii Sports as I...

Travelling compactly

Advantages: Folds up compactly, bright colours, use as a cot or play pen
Disadvantages: Thin mattress base

...comforting to parents being able to see through the sides to the baby. -The mattress base is quite thin and has a cardboard base, this doubles up as the boxing in which the travel cot folds up in. ~*~*~DIMENSIONS~*~*~ Open: 78cm (H) x 73cm (W) x 104cm (L) Folded: 81cm x 25cm x 25cm Weight: 9.22kg ~*~*~CONCLUSION~*~*~ Well, my mother in law hasn't actually used it yet but I have. My husband and I borrowed it when we went to visit family and it was great. It unfolded quickly and easily and was just as easy to pack away again. My son slept soundly in it, except annoyingly as we were in the same room, he enjoyed scratching the mesh sides in his sleep. I'm not so sure it would be big enough for a 3 year old like it states, but I could be wrong. My mother in law also bought a separate mattress to use in it from Kiddicare...

Review of Graco Travel Cot

Samsung YP-U3 1GB - Half the size, more music

Advantages: Small and discreet with an array of features at a low price
Disadvantages: at 1GB, bigger players can hold a lot more songs, not perfect for people who need more storage

...First of all, we will begin with the size, at W x D x H. 11 x 25.4 x 80 mm with a weight of just 22.8g it can squeeze into the smallest of pockets with ease - perfect for people on the move who don't like to carry around big players. It operates on the USB 2.0 standard which means less frustration when waiting hours for songs to be transferred!. The Samsung YP-U3 1GB has a battery life of up to 15 hours which is absolutely amazing compared to older mp3 players which operated on AAA size batteries which lasted for roughly 3-4 hours and needing fresh batteries. For a player of its size, it can hold a fantastic 500 songs in mp3 format and of course almost double in wma format. Cosmetically, it is very attractive and user friendly, with touch sensitive buttons and colour screen with built in equalizer it's something you'll surely want...
