Customer Reviews

Excellent sound quality.5
The clear bass is amazing, I am using these with a pair of Denon C551k's and this player sounds much better than my previous iPod Touch & Cowon D2.

There are not many features in this player to be honest it's lacking
but at what it does.. it does it very well.
Videos are fine, you can use the same software presets you use for the iPod classic "mp4", where this player shines is the excellent sound quality and portability and the ease of use.
This thing is smaller than it looks and despite the specifications saying "Windows only" it shows up as a UMS device in Mac Os X and Linux.

I can not comment about the Bluetooth feature because I bought this player for the sound quality that I read about and using a Bluetooth headset would dampen that, but bluetooth is very easy to pair with this device if you are into that.

Forget Nano 4th Gen or ZUNE,,5
This product is amazing,, althogh it has a big screen and looks big but its pretty light and it is just pretty,,, sound quality just awesome,,, headphones awesome,,,, bluetooth conectivity awesome,,,, Just forget Nano 4th generetaion and its stupid fancy stuff, i was a big fan of all nanos,,, but this oen is classy with better sound quality and light better battery,,, 36 hours and close to 10 hours of video,,, i dont use videos,,,, just music,,,, and i really love its WMA compatibility,,,, thats how ipods suck,,, then the good thing is that u can sync music from your Windows media player in any computer,,,, In I-tunes,,, aaa aaaa,,, nope just one pc for one ipod,,,, i have had both ipod and zune i have returned all of them and just got this one,,,, i really recommend this,,, i really do,,, good luck! it cost me 312.67 $ from walmart woth second day shipping included,,,, just awesome and classy

Just what I was looking for5
Everything about this product was good I just wish sony would make a mp3 player with more GB.

Customer Reviews

an outstanding camera5
This is my first dSLR. I have used digital point-and-shoots for years and have always tried to take great pictures. We've always gotten Canons and been very happy. I used to have a Canon PowerShot S2. That had 10x optical zoom and was a heftier camera. Using that (and using it till it wore out, actually) was what convinced me that my next step should be a dSLR. I researched it extensively, and wasn't sure which to get until I heard that Nikon's new D90 would have video capture, something I was loathe to give up with the point-and-shoot.

At that point, it was simply a matter of getting over the price (I had been looking at the lower entry-levels). I was compelled by the arguments of Ken Rockwell that the D40 was more than most people need. True enough, and you will need to judge your own purposes in your purchase. As my intention is to develop photography into a hobby and I would like to be able to use it to make a little money on the side, I didn't want to get a camera that I would outgrow in a couple months.

I have been extremely happy with this camera. Now, much of my reaction I'm sure would be to any dSLR camera and discovering the many things I could do with it over a point-and-shoot. I love the speed - it focuses very quickly and then takes shots as fast as you can click the button. I know this is a general dSLR feature, but wow, I was blown away at how great that was. The camera itself is just plain sexy and a joy to use. The LCD is brilliantly clear and bright. The controls are logical and simple. The ergonomics are great (another reason I wanted the larger mid-level model over the D40; this is a lot easier to hold, if heaver).

I could not be happier with my purchase.

Awesome!5
I just got the D90 two days ago as an upgrade from my D50. It takes amazing outdoor, daytime action shots. My kids at soccer practice were crisp, frozen perfectly mid kick. When combined with a speedflash, it takes amazing bounce-flash shots--perfect clarity, beautiful colors, no shadows, natural. I haven't used it in dark settings without the speedflash...ever since I began using an external flash, I have never gone back...and I only use the SB400, but get amazing shots.

The 18-105 lens is okay (I give it maybe 6 or 7 out of 10). Very light, fairly versatile, and just a hair soft maybe. I will buy the 18-200 soon just to avoid some of the lens switching. If I weren't so hyped on getting this camera I would have waited to buy "body only" with the 18-200 lens for added versatility.

I don't normally do in-camera editing...I use photoshop...but this camera does some neat stuff. Correcting red-eye and picture alignment--very easy. All menu options are incredibly easy. My kids were highly amused by the fish-eye adjustment, though I doubt I will ever use that.

Fits with a little extra room in the lowepro a200 slingshot with the kit lens attached.

All in all, it is a JOY to take pictures with this camera. My wife is probably a little jealous that I haven't parted with it for the last 38 hours or so!

EXCELENTE CAMARA5
