Amazon customer service is stellar!.......2007-12-23

The purpose of my review is not for this product itself, but for Amazon's stellar customer service. I just felt it necessary to post a testimony. I'm just an average online consumer who occasionally orders products online. I have no affiliation with Amazon; nor do I know anyone who works for them. I have enough experience with online shopping to see differences in customer service.

With Amazon, I've ordered products ranging from books, electronics, small appliances, and "other". I've never had a problem with security with my credit card. And all the products that I've ordered from Amazon, whether direct from them, or, was forwarded to an associate of theirs, arrived on my doorstep on time or rather, more typically, ahead of the estimated delivery dates INCLUDING DURING THE MAD RUSH OF THE HOLIDAYS!

For the products that I have ordered through Amazon, I have also experienced the value (cost savings). I can state that fact because I have performed in-depth research on the products that I have purchased before I hit the "OK" button.

After I order my items, Amazon emails "status" notifications. I can also log in and check the status of my order anytime that I want.

Only once, I needed to return an item to Amazon at no fault of theirs; I had ordered the wrong item. I returned the item unopened, completely in the same condition as they had sent it to me, and then ordered the item that I really wanted. Amazon credited my account within 3 business days of receipt of my returned item. And, I was delighted they credited me back the cost that I paid out of my pocket for shipping the item back to them. There was a minor hiccup with the return where initially Amazon thought that I had used one of their prepaid labels to ship the item to them. When I emailed them explaining the mixup, within 24 hours, they emailed me a formal apology and adjusted my account.

I realize that each circumstance is looked at by Amazon, as they do have return policies in place. And perhaps as you read my testimony you are muttering something different. I can only account for my experience with them.

If you are in doubt of ordering anything online through Amazon, you can be sure that they are stellar in customer service. In my experience of dealing with various online and various in-store customer service, I honestly thought this particular Amazon "return" experience was going to be a nightmare. They made it so easy. Amazon should be an icon and an example for other companies on what customer service is about.

perfect travel photos.......2007-12-22

I'm an architect, so naturally I take lots of photos of buildings when traveling. The slightly wider angle made a noticable difference, because now I can take great photos of buildings from right across the street. The colors are also great and I find myself printing straight from the camera output instead of spending a lot of time in photoshop. The scene modes give great results, especially the indoor and night snapshot modes. My dog's eyes usually turn out great with this camera's flash on indoor mode, instead of turning green.

Best Quality Best Value.......2007-12-19

I am an ex professional photographer. I do own more sophisticated equipment but wanted something to stick in my pocket when I'm on the go. After much research and reading other customer reviews I felt confident in choosing the SD800. The deciding factor was the Wide Angle feature. I just can't describe how incredible the pictures are. Very easy out of the box features. I have used this camera in some difficult situations just to see it's capabilities and am blown away by the performance. Best investment I've made in quite a while. Thanks Canon for a GREAT product.

Function red-eye is not working.......2007-12-18

Got it just for a few days but really love it. Upgrade from canon A80 which still love but it is bit bulky to carry around. The pictures are so clear. The video is good too. One small thing is I can't figure out how to do color accent and color swap even though followed the advantage manual, but it is just me not the canon. Hoppfully can some one read it show me steps how to. Darn me

Update 12/24/2007: After playing about few weeks, I decided to update the new reviews.

Beside loving and all this unit (the pictures are so more clearer compare to my old Canon A80) , the red-eye function is so NOT working. After took about hundred of pictures of my son at night time inside my house, most all came out with terrible red eye, compared to my Canon A80 with this function works perfectly. I am so disappointed.

This camera ROCKS!!!.......2007-12-18

I bought this camera for my wife but she hasn't got to hold it very much :) It is feature-rich, but still simple to use. I love the color swap and color highlight feature as well as the wide-angle lens. Oh, and don't forget about the image stabilization (which is a real life saver). Images are crisp and colors are vivid.

Don't hesitate to buy this camera, you won't regret it.

A Great Little camera.......2007-12-26

This camera was easy to use. The screen was good size for viewing recently taken pictures. I would recommend this camera.

Good camera for price.......2007-12-26

Good camera, shoots decent pics in dimly lit areas, great clarity in day photos. Zoom isn't much. Battery that came with camera isn't rechargeable, but lasted long. In a pinch, 2 AA batteries will work for a short time. I'm definately happy with my purchase.

decent device for its price.......2007-12-25

It's a good deal overall. I doubt you'll find a better quality camera for this price. Still I will consider buying some more expensive equipment next time.
Pros:
Easy to use
Huge LCD screen
Battery life is ok
Cons:
Sharpness. Prepare to get quite a few blurry shots, especially when shooting inside. This cam has to be totally steady if you care for sharpness.
Brightness - flash light could be more powerful if you don't want to adjust brightness/contrast in Photoshop after shooting close-ups inside.
Colors - could be more vivid at the auto mode.

Canon A560 Digital camera.......2007-12-25

Great camera that is compact and well built. Only complaint is memory card does not hold a lot of photos.

Great Product.......2007-12-25

I was worried to buy a Canon and at a price that was cheaper than its Nikon counterpart, but its great. It does not suck battery power (I'm still using the set it came with 3weeks later), in review mode, if you move the camera the picture adjusts and moves too!! Overall, it was a great buy I think.

What I expect.......2007-12-26

If you are looking for a digital media device that functions like it should then this is the one.

The Zune was easy to set up and the function has met or exceeded my expectations. I bought 3 IPOD nanos for my kids last year and found the design to be less than satisfactory. I decided to try the new 80 gig Zune this year. I bought 2 and I must say the Zune is ten times better than the IPODS. The software works like it should. The Zune navigation works like it should, I hated the Ipod wheel this is twice as easy. The graphics and the 3 inch screen are great. The kids love the radio function. Now Zune just needs to get manufactures to make more accessories for it.

The only thing that stumped me for just a couple seconds was changing the settings to find my sons music folder but that was solved with the help feature.

Can't stop playing with it!.......2007-12-26

I have scoured the reviews on Amazon for months trying to decide between an iPod and a Zune. The closest I've come to an mp3 player was a WALKMAN cell phone...so this was a big deal for me.
After spending the last few weeks trying to load my cd collection into my computer....today was the day!
I can honestly say, I have not stopped playing with my Zune all day (and I'm 44!). It's one of those things that you don't know how you lived without it once you get it in your hands. I work in a job where I wear headphones all day, so this is wonderful. I can listen to years of music I've collected and forgotten about.
The main reason I chose the Zune is for the radio and the screen size. Remember the days when you took pictures and actually had photos to share (I put everything on the computer and burn to cd to watch on the dvd player)? I can now share my photos with others on a screen large enough to see.
As far as the sound quality, I haven't much to compare it with but feel it sounds just fine.
For anyone who is still undecided, take the time to read the reviews on Amazon. I do it for any major purchase I make now.

Do not buy.......2007-12-26

Other reviewers have thoroughly explained why this product is crap, so I won't get into it. All I'll say is I received this for Christmas and it is the most frustrating piece of technology I have dealt with. It's about to go through a window. Save yourself from wall punching anger and avoid this product even if you have to pay more for a superior product.

Didn't make it for Christmas!!.......2007-12-25

I ordered the Zune 80GB for my son on 12-17-07, paid extra to get it in 3-5 days, and here it is Christmas afternoon with NO Zune. Thank goodness my son is old enough to understand poor shipping promises. Hopefully the Zune will be worth the wait!!

would be better if syncing work properly and w/o a dead pixel.......2007-12-25

240 and i get a dead pixel right out of the box, where's quality control. it keeps adding another copy of the same songs every time i sync.

Amazing.......2007-12-25

Absolutely magnificent camera.
was bought as a Christmas present and is probably the best camera anyone can find for the money.
I'd recommend this camera to anyone looking for a digital camera and actually taking great pictures.

It's Pink and It's Good.......2007-12-25

Bought this for my wife because she wanted a nice new small camera. I got the pink one so my son wouldn't "borrow" it and knacker it like the last one. It's as per normal for Sony, well made. Good and small but not too daft where you can't see it properly or operate the buttons. Wife loves the colour but it's slightly on the red side of pink (although still well pink)- more than it appears on screen. Great pictures and easy to use. I tend not to advocate using Sony software because it's normally as crap as the hardware is good, so I can't tell you about that side of it. Good value for money.

Camera.......2007-12-24

I bought this camera for my 10 year old daughter. It is easy for her to use and she loves it!!!

Full satisfaction.......2007-12-23

As I say in mi heading, I am realy satisfied with my camera, it is more than I expected, it is confortable and easy to carry, also to use it. I have already recommended it to my friends and also to your customers.

Good Value.......2007-12-22

Had this camera for about 2 or 3 weeks now and I am very pleased with it so far.
It was recommended to me by a friend because of the long battery life more than anything else. But it also takes very clear photos as well, that is if your not too shaky, but if you set it right, then it will compensate for even that. All in all I would highly recommend this camera, I'm no camera expert by any means, had a few in the past, all film type, this is my first digital. I didn't yet want to spend the bigger bucks to go to a high quality SLR until I found out if I would like the digital types or not.
One handy thing for me anyway, is that most of the time whenevr I leave home to go anyplace, I just put it in my pocket, never been able to do anything like that before.

Product Description

LINKSYS WRT54G - Wireless-G is the emerging 54 Mbps wireless networking standard that's almost five times faster than the widely deployed Wireless-B ( 802.11b ) products found in homes, businesses and publicwireless hotspots around the country. The best part is, since they share the same 2.4GHz radio band, Wireless-G devices talk to existing 11 Mbps Wireless-B equipment. Operates as a DHCP Server NAT technology to protect against Internet intruders Supports VPN pass-through Easy configuration with web browser based configuration utility

Amazon.com Product Description

The Linksys Wireless-G broadband router is really three devices in one box. First, it's a wireless access point, which lets you connect Wireless-G or Wireless-B devices to the network. There's also a built-in four-port full-duplex 10/100 switch to connect your wired-Ethernet devices. Connect four PCs directly, or daisy-chain out to more hubs and switches to create as big a network as you need. Finally, the router function ties it all together and lets your whole network share a high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection.

To protect your data and privacy, the Wireless-G broadband router can encrypt all wireless transmissions, and it supports the industrial-strength wireless security of 802.1x authentication and authorization. The router can serve as a DHCP server, has NAT technology to protect against Internet intruders, supports VPN pass-through, and can be configured to filter internal users' access to the Internet. Configuration is a snap with the Web browser-based configuration utility.

With the Linksys Wireless-G broadband router at the center of your home or office network, you can share a high-speed Internet connection, files, printers, and multiplayer games with the flexibility, speed, and security you need!

Wireless-G is the 54 Mbps wireless networking standard that's more than four times faster than the widely deployed Wireless-B (802.11b) products found in homes, businesses, and public wireless hotspots around the country. But since they share the same 2.4 GHz radio band, Wireless-G devices can also interoperate with existing 11 Mbps Wireless-B equipment.

Because both standards are built-in, you can protect your investment in existing 802.11b infrastructure, and migrate to the new screaming-fast Wireless-G standard as your needs grow.

For more information on the differences between an access point and a router with access point, see the following table:

access point vs. router

See a comparison diagram of the different wireless technologies.

Wireless networks are rapidly becoming more popular and coming down in price. Since they don't require cables, you can use the devices anywhere in an office or home, even out on the patio. There's no need to roll out an Ethernet network cable to each room of a house; you can network anywhere--without wires. Outside the home, wireless networking is available in hotspots at coffee shops, businesses, and airports--great when you're on the road and need to get some work done. For convenience, wireless networking is the answer.

Which Wireless Standard Is Right for Me?
Now that you've decided to create a wireless network, the next step is to figure out which wireless standard to use.

Basically, a standard is a set of specifications for a device. All devices that follow a specific standard share operating characteristics, such as the radio frequency used and maximum data transfer speed.

Linksys router.......2007-12-25

Came as promised and setup was breeze. Had this for month no dropped signals and increased my speed.

Please note....no modem included.....no usb connection.......2007-12-25

Unfortunately, this product, bought in US, does not contain a modem, unlike most similar products available in UK. It also does not allow a connection to a modem with a USB cable. Consequently, I had to spend another $50 to buy another modem with an Ethernet connection. Caveat emptor...Buyer beware! Standards can be surprisingly different between countries.
Otherwise fine.

Does NOT have removable antennas!.......2007-12-25

Everyone knows this is *the* router to turn to if you need maximum flexibility in terms of configuration. Download and flash DD-WRT and you'll have the sweetest router on your block. Just know this:

Amazon only sells Version 8 of the WRT54G. This version does NOT have removable antennas! Thats right, no cantennas, yagis, or any other after-market antennas!

Linksys WRT54G Wireless - G Router.......2007-12-24

This is a great item...comes with everything you need to install...even for a "computer" dummy like me....I had it up and going within 30 minutes...very easy to use and understand...step by step instructions...almost impossible to mess up!! Would highly recommmend this product!!

Linksys WRT54G - Keep resetting to factory default options.......2007-12-23

I really enjoyed owned this device until recently when it keeps resetting to the factor default settings without any action on my part. I have stored the older Linksys (before Cisco) models for a year or so and plugged it in without the device resetting to the factory defaults while unplugged.

If you are purchasing this device, make it a habit to monitor your IP address and security settings on a regular basis. With wardriving, anything is possible.

Best ear buds - perhaps.......2007-12-26

I've had many brands of earbuds up to $50 - these are the best. The bass is very strong but clean. Got 2 pair now and if I need another set I'll buy another pair of these.

Hello Bass, Please return my music.......2007-12-26

These produced so much bass with my I pod that I could barely hear the music, just the pounding. I like bass, but unless that's all you want to hear, then these are not for you. There were a comfortable fit, but the cord tangles easily.

great buy.......2007-12-25

these headphones are excellent, the sound quality is as good as the headphones 4 times the price. bass is awesome, and the silicone buds actually fit comfortably and block out most background noise. for 30 bucks this is a steal, no point buying the metal ones unless u really want something shiny

Huge improvement over apples earbud.......2007-12-22

These earbuds defiantly hold up to title description and are better then the same price you would pay for apples version. I have a ipod and i also paid a lot of money for apples version of earbuds, while they were significantly louder the thin silicon ear cups were disappointing in holding themselves inside my ear as i worked out. Even more so they were too fragile when the cord got disconnected and i was left with just one working ear bud. I buy these V-MODA and not only does the black color match my black ipod but they were cheaper and work better. The silicon cups are thicker then apples and hold way better, i switched from the small to medium size and hardly move; also due to the thickness it locks out outside noise better. The sound itself is very sharp and the bass itself kicks in on certain songs with a decent beat, i highly recommend you buy these earbuds especially at the price they are being offered. Lastly these earbuds come with a small plastic cord tab to wrap up the excess cord so it doesn't swing wildly around and get caught on corners, very helpful as well at the gym

GREAT headphones.......2007-12-20

Ordered them in white, to match my iphone.

The bass in these are AMAZING. i spend hundred's of dollars on previous headphones, including shure's and bose, and for price, and comfort, these are the best headphones I have ever purchased

Pros: Great Value, comfort, sound, and some noise cancellation. Awesome and sleek design and fit.

Cons: They DO NOT work with the iPhone. The jack is to thick, and the iPhone has a deep jack socket so they are not compatible. Therefore, to use with an iPhone, you need the Belk Adapter, which sticks out like a radio antenna because its so long.

Otherwise. AWESOME deal and Product. Highly Recommended.
