SATS MONSTERS - Panorama

Advantages: A good insight of SATS
Disadvantages: none

...Panorama. Monday 12th May 2008. 8.30pm-9.00pm. Tested To Destruction. Vivian White reports on claims that schools in England are given too many tests. Vivian White is a former teacher and has given a honest and clear picture of views on SATS testing in England. This week is England's week for testing Y6 children using SATS. Parents of Y6 children and pupils undertaking these tests are probably feeling relieved that today is over (monday) because the first day of SATS is done. Today Science. Over the next few days they face; Literacy - reading, writing (long paper & short paper), spelling and 2 maths papers (calculator and non- calculator). I don't usually watching Education Documentaries, but after seeing how much work my colleague has put into his class (as he does ever year) in playing down the SATS, in order to stop...

Arcsoft Panorama Maker 4

Advantages: Easy to use, Affordable, High picture quality
Disadvantages: None identified

...Although I'm a fan of Photoshop for all of my post production work as a wedding photographer, nothing compares to the excellent Panorama Maker from Arcsoft when it comes to stitching sequential images together in a panorama. It's so simple to use and I would challenge anyone to see the join in the final image. My daughter was 7 when she took a series of pictures overlooking Akaroa bay in New Zealand on a small compact digital camera. We used Panorama Maker to stitch them together and I got the resultant image produced on canvas. The picture now hangs by our front door and visitors comment every time they come about the quality of the shot (taken from 5 originals). The intro version can be downloaded freely so effectively you can try before you buy. I did this with version 3 a couple of years ago and now have full versions of 3...

* Say XD (instead of cheese) . .

Advantages: Getting cheap now.
Disadvantages: None unless you lose one.

...These cards are 2Gb XD memory cards made by Fujifilm, they are the latest in the line of a new storage system. XD stands for eXtreme Digital, the cards are made for digital cameras, plus other devices like digital voice recorders. The cost of these is very competitive, you can buy them for about £22 online. Remember though, this is plus P&P of course. You can buy them on the high street as well of course, but at a much higher price. They are often described as "Postage stamp" size cards. The size is 20 mm x 25 mm x 1.78 mm, and each card weighs 2.8 grams. You also have the option of going for non branded cards, although I would not use anything but original cards in my camera. You then are safe in the knowledge, that you have the genuine item, and your warranty is still valid. There are two types of these XD cards, M and H...

Review of Fujifilm XD CARD 2048 MB

Store your Memories on the XD

Advantages: Stylish, small size, reliable
Disadvantages: More expensive than other brands, small capacity

...The 16MB Fujifilm XD card comes free with all the Fujifilm digital cameras I have come into contact with or know about. Basically its a memory card that slots into the camera to store a minimal amount of images. Seeing as Fujifilm digital cameras do not come with any storage space on the camera itself, the 16 MB XD card is ideal for new users who have just just bought or received a camera and want to start taking photos straight away. On a 4Megapixel camera the average size of a good quality photograph is around about 1MB (maybe slightly over), so this card will hold roughly 16 images, or more at a lower level of picture quality. The physical design of the XD card is one of the main selling points, particularly for the larger capacity cards. They are very small compared to most memory cards (I'd guess 2/3 of the size) and are...

Sony MDR-XD 100

Advantages: Price, comfort
Disadvantages: no surround sound, cable too long ? ad/disad

...I purchased these Sony MDR-XD 100 for just under 15£ at an in store retailer. The reason I chose these for purchase was A) The price and B) The brand (Sony) was known to be reliable. I am overall satisfied with the product as I feel I got my values' worth in it. Here are some specs for the headphones: Weight: 175g Connector: 1x headphone jack (green slot on pc) Sound output: Stereo 40mm driver unit Ferrite magnet for good bass and treble Frequency: 12-22,000 Hz Sensitivity (dB/mW): 100.0 Impedance (Ohm): 70.0 Cord type: OFC litz cord Cord length: 3.5m I was pleased by the fact that the headphones came with a spare jack to plug into something like a set of turntables. It looks like the normal one, but is slightly larger. The sound quality was good for this price although I didn't quite feel the bass was all there...

PDP-4280 XD - Crispier than a Chinese Duck!

Advantages: Excellent sound, excellent vision, modern technology at its best
Disadvantages: A tad expensive, slight issue with shadows

...The Pioneer 4280XD a fantastic choice of television and quite possibly one of the best plasma options currently out of the market, before it's release there was a massive hype within the circles that follow this sort of thing and you should know that the visual quality even when not on High Definition is absolutely gob smacking but then for the price it retails at, you'd expect as much wouldn't you? Unfortunately there isn't all that much I can tell you about this product, after all it's a tele and the best way to review a tele will always be to watch it but as per usual I'll give my insight and hope that it helps you the consumer make an educated decision regarding the PDP-4280, perhaps the best way to start this would be to reveal the specifications. Features and Measurements: Screen Size: 42 inches Aspect Ratio: 16...

PDP4270xd GREAT Value palsma!!

Advantages: Value for money, pure blacks and contrast reproduction
Disadvantages: 1 x HDMI, no PC input, cant take 1080i or p signal unlike 427xd

...i am a experienced tv retailer and i am hell bound to give my personal and impartial opinion. this tv is a great buy for those who can see the light and realise that 1080i/p signals are too far off to be buying a 1920x1080 res tv now!! although most people who have the money will probably opt for the higher model (PDP427xd) as this has the ability for process the 1080i signals and re-interpolate them to fit the 768 screen personally i feel from experience that what ever you are using will look better if it is set to the 720p mode as then the TV is not messing with the signal. the tv does benefit from having the best Plasma Contrast processor on the market and this shows especially when you are watching movies and sport. this is normally a given when it comes to the Plasma VS LCD debate but even against other Plasmas this TV...
