Comment on Kenwood KCA-iP300V iPod Video Direct Cable by Stephen Germano

Coonects highspeed to the dnx8120. Works good, video comes through fine. During video play the video does not automatically show unless you press the “photo” in the top left hand corner once the file is playing. This works with my iphone 3gs no problem. Only issue I have is when the phone is connected the head unit also connects the bluetooth wireless headphone connection which needs to be turned off in the settings>bluetooth menu everytime I turn on the car… kind of a pain but a small inconvenience.

Well worth the price as it also charges your phone so its the same price as a charger anyway. A must have for ipod/iphone owners!

Comment on Audiovox D1788PK 7-Inch Portable DVD Player with Bonus Headphones and Car Kit by Aunt Atossa

This player has lasted me over two years, and it has faired very well.
I will say that the image quality is not superb, but competitive for the price.

Pros: Very portable, and it has all you will need besides DVDs. The battery lasts 3 hrs, and then you can switch over to either a normal wall plug or car adapter.

Cons: The connection has recently been poor between the player and the cord/battery pack (you have to hold the cord into the jack or it will power off). Headphones are very collapsible yet they pinch your ears to your head instead of sealing around them.

I would say buy this product for annual road trips, but any thing more and I would say consider investing in a higher quality player.

Comment on Sandisk 8GB SDHC Memory Card (SDSDB-8192, Bulk Package) by Charles C. Deano Jr.

I bought three of these to use in my digital cameras and three computers for ReadyBoost. When I initially installed them in the computers, Win 7 Home Premium recognized them and offered to let me use 4GB for ReadyBoost (apparently that’s the max Win 7 allows). They worked for a day, then Win 7 quit using them for ReadyBoost and told me that they did not pass the speed test. I reformatted them in NFTS (from FAT32) and retested them but still no luck. I ordered one 4GB Extreme Class 10 SDHC to try. If it works, I may order a couple more for the other PCs and will just use these cards for my cameras.

Comment on My Name Is Bruce [Blu-ray] by John P. Sullivan

“My Name is Bruce” is a very cheesy movie, but it’s chock full of hilarious gags – I loved the newspaper headline bit.

The acting is a little off, most notably the kid, but that’s all right this is not an Oscar contender by any means.

Great plot, although very silly; this story could not have been written for anyone other than Bruce Campbell himself…not just because his name matches, but because of who he is.

The Blu-ray mastering isn’t too super, as is evident in dark foggy scenes. The audio is top-notch though. Despite all of this, the Blu-ray version is still very much worth watching because it is so much fun.

Three stars as a product – but since there were no other ‘twos’ at the time I thought I’d fill the spot, in the spirit of Bruce’s good humor, of course.

I recommend “My Name is Bruce” to any fan of gruesome, classic, monster-style thrillers. Lots of fun, without milking the clock.

Comment on Sony Bravia Z-Series KDL-46Z4100/B 46-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV, Black by Bruce Henderson

Bruce Henderson — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 09:17:27 +0000

With caution and some reservation, I purchased a “like new” Sony KDL-46Z4100 from Amazon.com Warehouse. Not only was it actually “like new” as advertised, but six months have now passed and it is still priced higher at the discount stores than I paid through Amazon.com Warehouse. I don’t see myself ever buying electronics any other way. They just depreciate way to fast to pay new retail prices, even when on sale.

The movie was done well, kept you interested, however, when is Woody going to get off his soap box about polygamy?

Comment on Nikon ML-L3 Wireless Remote Control for Nikon D40, D40x, D60, D80 & D90 Digital SLR Cameras by B. Bicoy

When I bought my new Nikon D90, I picked up a lot of extras to go with it – you know, the accessories (or “junk” as my wife calls it) that you just must have with your wonderful new camera. Well let me say that while she was right about many of the silly accessories I purchased, this little tool is invaluable. It’s so simple and obvious in retrospect, I cannot believe more cameras do not have this feature. Gone are the days when you set a timer and run from the camera to be in the picture. Now I just set it up and press the button. It even does a quick autofocus before snapping the picture. It is also helpful when playing with multiple exposures and flashes in the dark (which is what my kids love to do). For just a few bucks, you’ll be so glad you have this terrific little tool.

Comment on Samsung BD-P1500 1080p Blu-ray Player by Carlo Barlo

I bought this unit a month ago. It worked great at first, beautiful picture. Now a month later, it hangs ALL the time with multiple disks, most of the time wont display the disk menu, hangs in the middle of the movie, door wont open, controls freeze. Yesterday I went and bought a Sony blu ray player which works GREAT. I put the Samsung player in a box and I will not be using in again. My advice to you; if you are thinking about buying this product, DONT. Buy a Sony or something highly rated. There are a lot of these players on the market and some of them have issues and this unit does,before going out and buying another one I went online and looked, and I found a lot of reviews by consumers where they had exactly the same problem I have had. I bought this unit because it was on sale for under 200 dollars, it was an impulse buy and I didn’t do the research (I usually look on CNET). I have a Samsung HDTV which works flawlessly, but this thing is junk.

Comment on Canon PSC-85 Deluxe Soft Case for Canon Powershot A650IS and A720IS by E. Aris

Fits nice and snug around my Canon G10. We didn’t want a bulky case. My wife wanted a case that she could use that protected the camera and would still fit in her purse without being too bulky. We purchased this case along with the Canon WS20 strap. This case won’t work quite right with the strap that comes with the G10. This case with the WS20 work beautifully together.
