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.

Amazon.com Product Description

If you're looking for vehicle navigation that's powerful and simple to use, the Garmin StreetPilot c340 is just the ticket. Right out of the box, this unit helps you make the right turns wherever your travels take you. With an easy-to-use touchscreen interface, text-to-speech voice commands, a brilliant display that shows the way with 2D or 3D animations, and a massive points of interest database, the c340 has all the basics covered. Plus, you'll find some great additional features that make it a must-have companion.

Look Mom, no buttons! Garmin has taken simplicity to a new level with the c340.
The c340 is designed with simplicity in mind, although Garmin hasn't forgotten to add a touch of class. With a weight of under ten ounces and a width of 4.4 inches, the c340 is ultracompact and easy to transport. To keep confusion on the road to a minimum, the only buttons are a rotary volume knob and an on/off switch. The bright 3.5-inch-diagonal display features a touchscreen, making it a snap to input routing information and make quick selections on the road. The c340 sports dual integrated speakers for high-quality voice prompts, a USB port for PC connectivity, and an internal lithium-ion battery that provides power when you're planning your routes outside the car (approximately 4-8 hours battery life). In addition to an included 12-volt power adapter for in-car power, there's also an SD memory card expansion slot for use with other Garmin MapSource mapping products. The unit is secured by a suction-mount cradle that fastens to the windshield, allowing for easy portability between vehicles. You can even customize the c340's appearance with optional colored faceplates that suit your style. While the c340 has an internal GPS antenna, it also has an MCX-type connector for hooking up an optional external GPS antenna.

Finding your way with the c340 starts with inputting a location on the touch screen. Next, the unit's text-to-speech feature speaks to you just like a back seat driver, telling you the names of streets and when to turn and in what direction. And if you happen to miss a turn--don't worry, the c340 automatically calculates a new route to your destination. Audible and visual navigation instructions and warnings help you navigate more quickly while keeping your eyes on the road. You can also choose between a 3D mapping perspective or 2D overhead view.

The c340 offers clear, easy-to-read 3D directions.
Another time- and frustration-saving feature of the c340 is the database of preloaded maps and points of interest. Gone are the days of uploading partial maps from your computer to your GPS device: the c340 has them all built in. The unit comes preloaded with Garmin's highly detailed City Select NT street data of the entire United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico. Finding points of interest along your route is made easy with the c340's huge built-in database of nearly six million hotels, restaurants, gas stations, ATMs, and attractions. Garmin has also made it easy for users to upload custom points of interest--now you can add school zones or safety cameras to your database. You can even turn on a proximity alert to notify you of upcoming custom points of interest.

Garmin really kicks the power of the c340 up a notch with the addition of real-time traffic information. This optional service will display congested areas on a color-coded map, allowing you to avoid traffic by simply pushing a button that calculates a new route. All this wizardry is made possible by the new Garmin GTM 10 receiver that connects to the c340 and other select Garmin products. Note that while the GTM 10 receives digital data from specific FM broadcast stations in select major metro areas throughout the United States and Europe, note that these traffic services are available only in select cities where coverage exists. The service requires the GTM 10 FM TMC traffic receiver and, in some cases, a subscription to enable these traffic capabilities.

What's in the Box
StreetPilot c340 receiver with built-in antenna, dual internal speaker system for voice guidance and alerts, vehicle suction cup mount with 12-24 volt adapter, dashboard disk, USB interface cable, preloaded City Select North America NT database, and quick-reference guide.

What a great deal I got on this! Chanukah gift for my brother!.......2007-12-26

This was a perfect Chanukah gift for my brother!
I used it, when I was home visiting. Excellent price and value & very dependable!

Highly recommended.......2007-12-26

I received this unit as a Christmas gift and I highly recommend the unit. I took a drive to a rural area within an hour of opening the gift and it couldn't have been easier to use. I plugged the unit into the power adapter - it took about 90 seconds to download from the satellite (a one-time activity) and it was ready to use. I had not read any manuals and I found it intuitive to use. I was able to put in the address I was headed to and it quickly calculated a route. it wasn't the route I normally took so I turned a different way and it immediately recalculated the route without further input. The unit speaks in a variety of voices and it does give you the name of the street you will be turning on. Very simple to use.

The only thing some people may find as a negative is that the pronunciation is not always accurate. However, to offset any confusion, the street name is also displayed on the screen. I haven't downloaded any new voices but I look forward to exploring that aspect of the unit as well!!

The best ever!!.......2007-12-25

Talks to me. Tells me where to go. Dummy proof. Touch screen is easy to use.

Nothing else to say.

Can't live without it........2007-12-25

I have had it for over a year and travel all the time. It stores all my addresses and never gets me lost. I need to upgrade the maps but for some reason have an issue paying $60+ to get the updates. Will wait until I start getting lost and then think about it. Payed way to much but like any electronic gadget the price always comes down after a wile.

Disappointed ...........2007-12-24

I purchased two of these as gifts for myself and my son. I have the SP c330 and like it very much. I am upgrading to this model because of the voice naming streets capabilities. I was totally disappointd though when I went to the Garmin website to check on the manual and accessories, I found out that this model has been discontinue. Amazon should have offered this as a discontinued item with a bigger discounted price. At the very least notify the buyer(s) that this item was discontinued. I am however confident that this product will work well for what my needs.

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.

Don't bother.......2007-12-26

Bought this for my wife to replace the Jabra that came with her phone, it slid on her ear to much and could not be adjusted to fit. Also it would offen get the names totally wrong when she spoke them. She switched to my Jabra and I tried it, It would not recognize any thing I said while in a car. I just got a LG unit for Christmas I'll see how this works.

Slow To Link Up With Phone.......2007-12-25

The unit takes several seconds to answer incoming calls and when auto dialing the phone is almost all the way though asking for my command by the time I hear anything. I've gone back and forth with service via email. They claim it's not their unit and to try it on another phone. I tried it on another model of LG with the same results. After a long time of back and forth emails, they SAY they are sending another unit. We shall see. I wouldn't recommend buying Plantronics at all!

do not fit on ear properly.......2007-12-25

This bluetooth doesn't fit properly on the ear. I tried it for a day and I was feeling all the time it is going to fell off. I returned it next day. To be frank, I didn't really test any of its feature much.

Very Good Headset, Great Price.......2007-12-25

I recently upgraded my phone to a Blackberry pearl. I had two Plantronics 320 headsets that did not work well with the phone. After reading reviews here, and on other sites, I decided to purchase the 510. With the 320 model I experience a lot of static noise. With the 510, I only have occasional and very minimal static. My car has a fair amount of wind noise, and with the 320 everyone I talked to complained about the background noise. Now equipped with my new 510, I get very few complaints. The battery life is good and the the headset is fairly comfortable. I recommend this product.

AC Charger Won't Stay In and No Car Charger Included.......2007-12-24

I don't understand all the great reviews for this unit. I can't keep the charger plugged in properly - the slightest movement on any surface disengages the connection so that when I retrieve it, I can't tell if it's charged or not unless I press it in and set it down just right and wait for a blue light. It's as if the unit and the charger were not properly designed to work together.

I also thought all bluetooth units came with a car charger - after all, the point is to be mobile, and you want to be able to charge it when it runs down on the road. I suppose for the price I should not have expected that I'd have to get one separately, but I've never bought one before, and all the ones I saw in stores looked like they included one.

I never actually used the unit on a live phone call, so I can't comment on its quality, but having to fiddle with the charger connection constantly to be sure it didn't disengage is reason enough to return it.
