Great camera!.......2007-12-27

This camera rocks. This camera does just as well as the sd900. The only difference if the higher megapixel on the sd900. The sd800 has a tougher shell. I recommend this camera.
It rocks!

SD800 IS: a Great Point and shoot camera.......2007-12-26

This camera is great. It is an easy to use "point and shoot" camera. It works right out of the box and the various settings are more than adequate for any quick, on the go shooting; day or night, indoors or out.

Nearly everyone I know has some form of small digital camera of equal or higher resolution. Their pictures rarely look as sharp and clear as mine. I constantly get compliments on how nice the pictures I take look, 99% of that is the camera.

The controls and interface are very intuitive. The battery lasts for an impressively long time and with a 2GB SD card I get 596 pictures at the highest quality setting.

I typically shoot on the "manual" setting to adjust the ISO, white balance, exposure and focus. The "auto" mode works nicely as well.

Whether you buy an SD800 IS or some other small digital camera I would recommend a Canon over anything else out there.

Good Camera at good price .......2007-12-26

It has all the necessary features and then some. But the memory card it came with was inadequate but I just took my old one out and everything OK.
Not complicated or too fancy.

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.

Great.......2007-12-24

The ergonomics of this controller are phenomenal. Its pretty apparent how much effort they put into this controller to make it user friendly. Just makes you wonder what the 'next' generation of controllers will look like.

Wireless Controller for XBox 360.......2007-12-21

It's a Christmas gift for my grandson, so it hasn't been used yet, but I'm assuming it will work well. It looks like it has been well taken care of and in good working condition.

ok you probably dont need the extra kudos here...everyone knows this is pretty much the best controller out there right now. Add on the fact that you can use this one a PC with a simple $20 accessory that auto discovers up to 4 controllers, and booyah! this is so cool, just like the other side of the pillow (props to stu scott, ESPN). go get one :)

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.

Useful but stubborn!.......2007-12-26

The Garmin c340 came in very handy on our recent trip from Virginia to Miami... the voice commands were easy to follow, the display very clear, and the timing of turn on cue. We did not like the fact that it does not have an option to avoid toll roads (it kept directing us to the FL Turnpike even though I-95 was parallel to it!). We liked the choices of voices - my kids loved Austrailian Karen. On the whole, it is a great value, easy to use, and useful for road travel. We recommend it!

very good.......2007-12-26

Just gave this as a Christmas and my mom hasn't had much time to use it but so far it has been very useful. It does come ready to use straight out of the box and is very user friendly. She isn't very tech savvy and was able to use it right away. It gave the wrong directions one time but it was clear that the directions were messed up so re entered the address and it worked better.

Daughter loves the Garmin.......2007-12-26

We bought it for our daughter and her safety on the road. She enjoys it very much and uses it every trip she takes.Garmin StreetPilot c340 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator

Bad Receiption.......2007-12-26

The C340 is very wide so it is not handy when traveling on planes, you would have to bring a seperate case for it. Also we could not get receiption in our house so we can only enter a trip outside. Other models of Garmin and other brands have worked in our house but not this one. We do not live in a rural area so there is no reason it should not work.

TERRIBLE PRODUCT.......2007-12-26

I got this camera for Christmas. The next day it wouldn't turn on and gave me the message- lens error restart camera. To have it fixed would cost more than the camera.

Good reliable little camera.......2007-12-26

I've only used the camera a few times, but as far as I can tell. The camera works great. I like how they made the battery holder into a nice little grip area for my right hand, so might be a little right handed bias. The batteries have lasted a decent amount of time and the pictures come out pretty well. If you need a basic camera vs fancy SLR, this is a good pick.

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.

needs to be 'plug n play'.......2007-12-24

I purchased this for my mom, who is not very tech savvy. I tested it out before I gave it to her and when I plugged in the SD card, it didn't automatically start playing the pictures. I had to go through a couple screens and select the folder (even though there wasn't a folder on the SD card) that the pictures were in before it would start playing them. Seems to me that it would be smart of them to make the software recognize .jpg files so it would play automatically. I don't know too many grandmas and grandpas who would be comfortable going through what I had to go through to get this thing to work.

Don't buy for someone who lacks tech savvy.......2007-12-24

The instructions are unclear and the user interface very clunky. Do not buy for an older person (or a younger person, for that matter) who is unfamiliar with how to operate nonintuitive devices from manuals translated from another language. It might be OK if you set it up for the person and give it to him or her. I am not familiar with digital photo frames in general, but the screen does seem awfully dark. I presume I could make all the photos lighter, but it gets back to the question, how much trouble do you want to put someone to?

Nice.......2007-12-24

The frame itself is nice, the features it holds. The only issues that I have with it is the fact that you can't plug it into the computer via USB to add pictures onto the frame. Also it would be nice to have the option of auto play in the menu for when you turn on the frame. You just turn it on, then you have to hit play in order for it to play. Overall the frame is nice, have not gotten around to messing with the video or audio features.

Poor image quality.......2007-12-22

Initially I liked the price-point on this digital frame. After getting it for a gift for my mom, loading an SD card with images, and then struggling through the non-intuitive UI on the frame, I finally got it to display a slideshow of the photos... and what I saw was an inferior quality! The photos are pixelated, and the resolution of the screen looks like a dot-matrix print-out.

I should return the product, but it's for a Christmas gift, and it's too late. My advice: skip this one -- the field is too crowded to accept the inferiority of this product.

Awful frame...don't bother.......2007-12-22

This is a horrible frame. I bought the Coby DP-772 for my self about a year ago and have been very happy with it. I decided to buy this new version for my dad as a birthday gift. Wow what a difference...all the pictures are dark and skin tones are blotchey. I took the same SD card out of it and put it in my frame and they show up fine. I returned it within hours of opening the package. Unfortunately the 772 is not available on Amazon so I'll either switch to a Philips or look for it elsewhere.
