Advantages: Professionally laid out online surveys. Product testing.
Disadvantages: Some awful incentive gifts

...~~ UPDATED FEBRUARY 2006 ~~ I joined up with ZoomPanel through ipoints in December 2003. Quite frankly, I was most unimpressed with them at first. Despite promising the potential to earn rewards and cash through ZoomPoints, the first 10 or 11 surveys they offered me only qualified me for entry into a sweepstake or prize draw. I'm afraid that I very swiftly pull the plug on any survey company only offering entries into prize draws, as in over 2 years of survey work, I have yet to win anything from any survey company prize draw or raffle. I fail to see why I should spend my valuable time completing a survey for which I get little or no reward, when you can bet your bottom dollar the company hosting it is being handsomely rewarded. However, I am most glad that I gave them the benefit of the doubt, as ZoomPanel have proved to be a good... Read review

Advantages: cheap, fast, relialbe, nice staff
Disadvantages: old aircraft, crappy food,

...I have flown Zoom twice to Toronto and once to Calgary from London Gatwick and have found both journeys pleasent. The in-flight service is excellent, with the nice and helpful crew, the in-flight movies are also very good. It's just a pitty the food has to spoil it. Also the aircraft was extremely old. The second time i flew Zoom, the flight was diverted to Birmigham where the flight was operated by Air Transat who are yet to update thier aircrafs. I wish they had used the aircraft that took us to Birmingham (the nice blue one). I don't have any negatives about the airline apart from the crappy food and the aircraft. I think Zoom should stretch their service to Birmingham. I am aware that they have launched services from Machester which will take over Air Canada's position. Overall, Zoom are a cheap, good...

Advantages: Quick and Easy installation
Disadvantages: Low wireless range

...First of all I must congratulate Zoom for such a fantastic product. Out of all my experiences with wireless/wired routers including; Netgear, Belkin and Linkysys (Cisco), I have found the Zoom X6 Wireless ADSL router to be the most user-friendly router I have ever used. In the box you will get; The wireless router, Power Lead, RJ5 cable (used to connect the router to a base unit in order to cingure the router softwar, once the software has been configured the RJ45 lead may be taken out as long as you have a wireless receiver, i.e. USB, PCMCIA or PCI), instruction manual and CD-ROM software. The first thing to do when you open the box, lay out all your parts and make sure everything is there, then put the CD-ROM into your CD drive, the software is very straight forward and the whole setup process takes about 15 minutes...

Advantages: Superb picture quality, tremendous zoom
Disadvantages: Battery life poor, user interface slightly unintuitive

...become second nature. The software provided to move onto the PC is basic but simple to use. The best thing about the camera is the zoom – 10x optical means that the lens adjusts – as in a non-digital camera- rather than digital zoom which takes the image and then moving closer to it (this is also available to 4x magnification). This results in photos that are of the same quality whatever zoom level. And at maximum image quality this camera takes tremendous pictures. Truly breathtaking quality – this was the major consideration when choosing a camera. To enhance this the camera can be fitted easily to a tripod, and comes with a remote to take photos without even slightly nudging the camera. Ideal for long exposure shots. Also a small benefit is that the camera can take video as well as photos but this is not the biggest asset of the camera... Read
