Cell Phone Battery - cell phone battery, motorola

The seller sent me a lower power battery with a different snn#. I would not trust this seller - this switch after purchase makes them unreliablein my opinion. Seller DOES NOT HAVE this item in stock and switches to the BR50 if you order this item. When I called, they will either refund my money or try to sell me the replacement at a reduced cost. So, why is this item still listed for sale from them on Amazon?? NEW Motorola Standard Capacity Lithium-Ion Battery 780 mAh This Battery is a Factory Original Battery, Designed And Built Specifically For The Motorola RAZR V3,V3a, V3C, V3M Cell Phone Models

Buyers Beware....The battery depicted adjacent to the item description is NOT the battery I received for my v3M. I received an older, first generation Motorola battery for the v3M which has a black casing. Although the battery is compatible and appears to be functioning satisfactorily at this point, it was clearly NOT the item represented on the website. The second generation (newer) Motorola batteries for the v3M contain black graphics on a white background-as pictured on the website. This is deceptive and somewhat misrepresentational. My suggestion is to check and verify by contacting the merchant prior to purchasing the item. The term "new" simply implies that the item has not been used and has nothing to do with how long the item has been stored or inventoried. Remember... Batteries lose capacity the longer that they have been stored. Always get the latest generation/version and check the date/production codes if at all possible. These are usually embossed on the casing of the cell. Refuse to purchase from a vendor who does not or will not furnish you with this information-it is critical in insuring that you are receiving fresh merchandise.

Please note, that the listing I am reviewing has been changed by Amazon.com because the seller (BargainCell) misrepresented the product - this, however, was the only aide that I was given from Amazon.com. I tried to rate the item without any star at all, unfortunately the rating system here will not allow this. The original listing, from which I ordered, listed a 780 mAh with a SNN5794A. This was clearly stated in the headline of the ad and the photograph clearly showed this. I was sent a BR50, which the retailer also carried and had listed for half the price of the battery I ordered. When I emailed and called to tell them they had sent the wrong battery I was told they did not carry, and had never carried, the battery I ordered. I was surprised and expressed that surprise since the item was clearly photographed and described in the headline of their ad. Four weeks later, after many emails and a phone call, my money was refunded, including shipping costs. However, in order to receive the refund, I had to pay for certified return shipping to the retailer, which they refused to pay. In the end it cost me $3 and a lot of time to look at and hold the wrong battery. My happy ending, I ordered the original battery on Ebay for less than half the cost and had it in less than half the time.

I did receive a battery in a timely fashion, however, I was sent the wrong battery! In contacting BargainCell, I was told the Amazon ad was incorrect: the battery listed is what I want, the battery received was a different battery that would not operate the phone. The company sent me a no postage required USPS mailing label and told me I might want to spend 75 cents for a return receipt. Being uninformed about USPS practices, I went to the post office, handed them the envelope with the return label attached and asked to add a return receipt. The postal worker informed me that it wasn't possible to add any services to a prepaid label. Further, if I wanted a return receipt, I would have to pay for the mail charge and the additional service for a total of almost $7. The battery cost less than $9 so, no, I did not pay for the shipping. Now, as you might have anticipated, BargainCell claims not to have received the returned battery and I simply gave them $9 for nothing. No, I am not a happy customer and rate this exchange one (1) star only because Amazon's system doesn't appear to support zero (0) stars.

razr v3 Batteries must be rejects or fakes or expired. They only hold enough charge for one call before empty. They swelled after recharging and barely held a charge. Worse than 2 year old originals. Don't buy! Got BR50 710mah labeled battery just like some others , not the 780mah advertised. Shame on Amazon for carrying them and defrauding customers. Total waste of money buying from Bargain Cell!

The wrong battery was shipped. After some back and forth it was determined by them that the listing was wrong so I got my money back less the 75 cents I paid for delivery confirmation. I bought from someone else since they could not supply what was listed.

I had the same experience as AJ Glazer. Bargain Cell did not ship the OEM battery I ordered, but sent the BR50 instead. This after I had preemptively called Bargain Cell to verify they had the OEM battery in stock and would be shipping that model. I kept the BR50 because I needed a battery and for $10 it was not worth the time required to go through the return and replace routine. However I will NOT be doing future business with Bargain Cell. - Battery - Razr Battery - Motorola - Cell Phone Battery'

Paperless Office - scanner, fujitsu

Visit Store Now !!

Great tool. What a scanner should be. This is another world from the speed and software efficiency you have in the average scanner and All In One Printers. So I am happy to have both a AIO device and this great tool for document management.

My use:

Now all the invoices and in general, all my printed documents are converted into searchable pdf into an easy to access archive.

I can recover from a fax or a printed document and edit it in word or excel tables or iWork and save a lot of time retyping

Business cards are archived in a short time and included in my address book and so also on my iPhone.

PLUS

A single, easy to use, application manages the very fast scanning and efficient OCR conversion of printed documents outputting directly in searchable PDF, Word, Excel, email attachment, address book and VCF contacts. Also business card OCR is quiet effective and the limit is due to strange character and graphics and you can find on some more creative cards.

Compared to what you find in the AIO devices and average scanners, paper handling is superior and errors are avoided. In the case of skipped pages (Happens rarely) a sensor warns you and show you which page is missing.

CONS

Only shortcoming is that Acrobat Pro is included in version 8.0 and not the last 9.0 but I suppose that this will change soon. Fujitsu ScanSnap S1500M Instant PDF Sheet-Fed Scanner for the Macintosh

But I mean this in a good way. The ScanSnap S1500M gobbles up piles of paper at an amazing rate. One-side or two-side scanning takes the same time. I have put just about every type of paper through it, often of mixed sizes and types (e.g., legal and letter size, 3x5 cards, newspaper and magazine clippings, unfolded brochures). A carrier sheet is available for crumpled, folded, or extremely thin paper. I've only had one paper jam (an odd-shaped, somewhat crumpled page that I ran without using the carrier sheet). Clearing jams is trivially easy because of the almost straight-through paper path. I am amazed by the quality of the scans. Photos sometimes look better than the originals. It small and almost silent. The software is easy to use. I have seldom, if ever, had a computer peripheral that I was as happy with.

I've scanned approximately 15,000 pages with this scanner and it couldn't have been easier. I did get the occasional "paper jam" when the sheet feeder picked up the next page as it was feeding the current page. Clearing a jam is trivial: pop the cover open, remove the pages, snap the cover back, continue scanning. Considering I was feeding in papers from 15 - 20 years ago, I expected the pages to occasionally stick together. This scanner is worth every penny.

I'm a proud new owner of a ScanSnap S1500M. I've owned many flatbed scanners and a multifunction device with a scanner, and I have to say the ScanSnap is among the best. Like most people, I've been digitizing my documents to reduce clutter. However, with my flatbed scanner, it gets very tedious to open the lid, flip the page, then click on the scanning software to continue scanning. A few pages takes a lot of time to digitize. With my ADF-equipped scanners, it was more hands-free, but the scans tended to be skewed. In all my past scanners, I could not search my PDFs.

My ScanSnap arrived a few days ago, and I've scanned several hundred pages. It is absolutely fast, no joke. Another reviewer said it's a paper eater (to denote scanning speed). It really munches on paper quickly. Actually, it is so quick, I spend more time preparing the documents (unstaple, arrange, etc.) than running it through the scanner. Plus, Fujitsu did a great job with the footprint. It is a very small scanner. Just a little bit wider than a sheet of paper, and maybe half as tall as the long side of a sheet of paper. The trays also fold in, so it looks like a small rectangular block when it's all folded in. The sheet feeding tends to be pretty straight. It did jam a few times, but they tend to be on thin sheets of paper. In case of a jam, there is a compartment you open up, just like un-jamming an office photocopier. Overall, I am very pleased with the scanner device.

The reason I gave it an overall 4 Stars is because their software needs some improvements. First of all, there's no Organizer software that provides the added usability of the PC version. If you go on YouTube, and search for S1500M, you will notice they are pitching the S1500 (PC version). In comparing the software capabilities from the video to what I actually got, I really would like the Organizer. As it is, when you press the Scan button on your scanner, it will invoke ScanSnap Manager on your Mac. That piece of software only lets you control what will happen when the Scan button is pressed (Save to a Folder, Send to Word, Quality settings, ...). But, what happens after the scan is not organized for you.

Open the YouTube video address below, then skip to the time 2:10. It talks about Send to ScanSnap Organizer folder. That's not in the Mac version, consequently, the Mac version doesn't get the View, Crop, and Highlight features in ScanSnap Organizer. Why?

[...]

Another complaint is that unlike the PC version, the Mac version only comes with Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Pro (PC comes with 9.0), although I think 8.0 is pretty good already.

The Searchable PDF feature is great. The OCR is pretty good. Here's the bad part though, and I think it's related to not having Organizer. To make the scans searchable, you have to turn on the "Convert to Searchable PDF" checkbox in the ScanSnap Manager's "File option" tab. When you load your documents and press Scan, the software will create the PDF, then there's another step to run it through OCR. If you scan in low volume, just a few sheets at a time, you'll be okay. But I scan 50-150 pages at a time. The ten or so seconds to OCR a page adds up to tens of minutes per batch. During the time it does OCR, you cannot continue scanning!!! Believe me, I tried but the Scan button does nothing while OCR is working. That's not good at all. I would rather scan my next batch, then queue up the OCR jobs. That way, I can scan everything now, then go to lunch or leave it running overnight, then it's done when I get back. But with their current setup, you will have to sit by your desk to wait until you can do your next batch. It's kind of like the old days of printing. Can you imagine yourself printing a big document, then being unable to tell MS Word to print the next document until the first one finished? It's kind of like that. Think about it.

Overall, I absolutely love the scanner device. I think it's great. Good job for putting two scanning units to make double-sided scans in one pass. The software is okay. It is missing an Organizer found in the PC version. The OCR is pretty accurate, but when scanning big batches, the OCR process will bottleneck your next batch to scan. If you're like many who are buying a fast scanner because you have many file cabinets of paper to scan, you will find that bottleneck very annoying.

Now, if Fujitsu could fix those limitations for S1500M users, then my complaints disappear and they would deserve a 5 Star rating. If anyone else has similar experience, please add a Note to Fujitsu section in your review. Hopefully Fujitsu will get the idea and work on it.

NOTE TO FUJITSU: Please have a Mac version of ScanSnap Organizer available for S1500M owners. Also, please enhance your software to include a Scan Job Queueing capability, so that people can scan their next job while the software is crunching another job. Kind of like how printing used to be one at a time, but later it could be Queued into a spooler so that users can get on with their job right away. Those would make your scanners unbeatable. Please strongly consider. - Document Scanner - Scansnap - Fujitsu - Scanner'

Utility Hooks

Visit Store Now !!

The command strips are amazing. This hook will support 7 pounds. We use ours to hand up coats on the door. I've never had one leave a mark on my walls or doors. We use them to hang stuff in the bathroom and decorations outside too. The elements don't seem to effect them.

Because this one can support so much weight, we mounted it on a door. I'm not sure I'd trust drywall or the paint to support that kind of weight.

Make sure you follow the directions. The surface should be clean and dry.

These are great for apartments and dorms. I highly recommend them. Command 17004 Jumbo Plastic Hook with Adhesive Strips, 1 Hook 4 Strips

I have been using Command hooks for all kinds of things and have a set that has been holing handbags on my bedroom wall for over a year now! I use one of these Jumbo Command hooks for my largest handbag. It's very heavy leather bag, with a very thick leather shoulder strap. I needed a hook this size to handle it's weight, and it has done so beautifully.

Mounted to the right surface, this hook could easily handle large items like electrical cords, outerwear, bathrobes, snow-pants, tote bags, several hangers filled with clothing, large wet towels (think coming in from swimming), and so many other possibilities.

Finally a way to hang even large items, without damaging any walls!

I use these hooks in my entry closet and in my bedroom closet for big/bulky and heavy objects. I weighed my heaviest bag + contents, and it came to over 6 lbs (3M states it can hold up to 7 1/2 lbs). The hook is wider than the other smaller hooks out there; I'd recommend it for backpacks, brief-bags, beach totes/contents, etc. I've also used these hooks previously for bathroom towels, but also have used the large-size without problems either.

We just bought a house that has hollow core bathroom doors. A like to think of myself as a DIY-type guy and was initially skeptical of an adhesive-based hook, but there aren't too many good mounting options for hollow doors that I'm aware of, so I tried these for hanging bathroom towels. It's been a week and so far, so good.

I have purchased several of these hooks for a walk-in pantry.

It comes one hook in a box and, although the description is true to state that you receive 4 strips, you need 2 strips/ hook so you only really get one spare set.

THE PLUSES:

* DOES THE JOB: even installed on not completely smooth surfaces (hollow door with wooden pattern and knock-down finished/painted wall), these hooks glue strong. I have tested the hooks with up to 10lbs and they did not bulge.

* Easy to install on clean and dry surface following the instructions, about 2-3 minutes/ hook.

* Wide hooks allow to hang bulky coats, several chef jackets, etc...

* Does come off the surfaces without leaving any residue, although it takes some strength and care to pull perfectly downward.

THE MINUSES:

* It is really utilitarian: pretty ugly to look at and comes in white plastic only. I would not use these hooks in plain view.

* The hook is very wide so it's possible that some items hang strangely from it. It should not be an issue for most items but shape could be altered on delicate materials.

I wish these jumbo hooks came in more attractive design/color but overall, I am very satisfied as they really do the job and hold at least the stated amount of weight. I would buy again and recommend.

My wife is on somewhat of an organizing kick and we bought several of these hooks for our mudroom. Installation is very easy; the instructions are very clear. You just need to clean the surface with alcohol first (I used an alcohol wipe), let it dry, then attach the provided strip of tape to the back of the hook, peel off the backing, then press the hook against the wall. It is a pleasure not to have to drill or use screws. And the adhesive certainly appears to be very strong.

The hook was not what I thought it would be. The hook was too large for the items I wanted to hang on it. This was not evident in the picture or description of the hook. The installation was perfect, but I will not get my moneys work out of the hooks. Great if you want to hang towels.'

Battery Charger - dewalt, rechargeable batteries

Visit Store Now !!

I traded up to this charger after one of my old ones quit. The "tune-up" mode really does make a difference. I tried a side by side test with my remaining old non-tune-up charger. I charged two depleted 12v batteries for 10 hours, using the "tune-up" mode on this charger. I then ran them in the same drill, and there was a noticable increase in rpm and torque with the "tuned-up" battery. The "tune-up" mode does take 8 hours, but it is only necessary every 8-10 charges. As DeWalt explains, the cells in the battery are wired in series and the "tune-up" charges the downline cells completely, where fast charging only fills the first few cells. All cordless batteries are a series of 1.5v batteries enclosed in a case. To get a full charge, all the individual batteries need to fill completely.If you have older batteries, this charger will give them new life. It is a worthwhile upgrade even for new batteries, as it will give them better performance and perhaps, extend their life. DEWALT DW9116 7.2-Volt to 18-Volt Pod Style 1 Hour Battery Charger

I purchased this charger at the same time I bought my 14.4 cordless drill (Firestorm). This charger fully charges your Dewalt or Firestorm batteries in less than an hour (depending on how low they are when placed in the charger). My two batteries are still going strong after more than three years of frequent home use (the tune-up mode definitely helps). Never use the 6 hr battery killer that comes with your cordless tools. This charger is definitely worth the money, considering I would have spent at least twice as much on new batteries.

I bought this battery charger hoping that it would work with the firestorm batteries of the same type because the chargers sold by black and decker are hard to find and the ones that offer multiple voltages are even harder to find for this type of battery (i.e. post-type). I would like to reassure any other people in my situation by saying that this charger does, in fact, work for the firestorm batteries. As mentioned in previous reviews, it also functions well to restore the battery to better functioning.

Several reviews here note that the Dewalt DW9116 battery charger has brought seemingly dead batteries back to life. Initially, I thought the same thing.

But a closer look shows that while old Ni-Cad batteries may indeed come back to life with the charger, that life is short. Dead B&D Firestorm Ni-Cads that wouldn't recharge on B&D's chargers DID recharge on the Dewalt, thanks to its deep-charging mechanism. Yet those newly resurrected batteries won't hold that charge for more than a few minutes.

Simply put, old batteries are old batteries. All rechargeables have a shelf life of about three or four years. Anything beyond that is gravy. Dewalt and B&D stamp a date into a battery's plastic. If yours is more than three years old and doesn't seem to work, don't expect this charger to work miracles. You may think you have one when your battery powers up a device, but if you only get a handful of minutes out of that "rejuvenated" battery, don't be surprised.

Other than that, there's not much else to say about this charger. It does what it's supposed to do quickly, easily, and well. The price is right, too. Just keep those expectations in check and you'll be fine.

Replaced my old charger with this one. Made a big difference with my older batteries that would not take much of a charge. Gave some new life to them. If you are a user of cordless tools, you know that batteries are the big maintenance expense. While my figures are not scientifically valid, my best guess is that this charger will extend the life of the batteries at least 20 percent

For over 10 years I have been using DeWalt cordless tools and I have always used the standard 1 hour battery chargers that came with each tool. Like everyone I have noticed that as the batteries get older they don't hold a charge as long. All of the woodworking magazines I read have at one point or another promoted the value of an upgraded charger that has a tune-up mode. For the longest time I looked at the DeWalt 2 battery charger, but for nearly a hundred bucks I couldn't stomach the cost. I am glad I kept looking because this little charger fits the bill PERFECTLY.

In use I have found that this unit charges just as it should in one hour, but the real benefit is the battery tune-up mode. In just 8 hours you can re-condition your tired batteries and give them some new life. I also appreciate that once this charger has run its one hour cycle, it is designed to deliver a trickle charge - allowing you to leave a battery in it indefinitely without fear of overcharging.

For the price this product cannot be beat.

I bought this over-priced Dewalt charger to charge my Black & Decker Firestorm 14.4v batteries, since all three of my Firestorm chargers failed after only a few months of use (one of them after 2 weeks (and can't seem to buy just the charger). Hopefully this one will hold up. The Dewalt charger is working like a champ for now. I would have given it 5 stars, but I'm a little angery at Black & Decker (who also makes Dewalt). So only 4 stars.

I purchased this unit from Amazon, because my Black&Decker Charger died. To my dismay I found the 1hr charger that my drill came with didn't seem to exist now or in the past. Black & Decker's policy of changing battery types as often as possible left me trying to decide if I wanted to buy a whole new drill rather than buy there over priced all in one charger and possibly new batteries since may batteries didn't work well anymore. I took a chance and purchased this instead. My drill is now working as good as when I got it maybe better, with the old batteries!

I purchased this product to replace my sorry Black and Decker charger for S140 FireStorm 14.4 battery. Reading the reviews were correct. This blows away the B&D charger. My batteries are now like brand new. But the biggest Pro of all is the price. This same exact charger sell for $69.00 at Lowes. This is a real steal, trust me you can't go wrong. - Battery - Charger - Dewalt - Rechargeable Batteries'

Shower Pik With 3 Ft Tubing - dental irrigators, waterpik

Visit Store Now !!

I usually brush my teeth in the shower, so this is a perfect complement. Makes my teeth and mouth feel clean, and the benefits to the gums will be of long-term benefit. Looking forward to my next dentist visit; curious to see how much less plaque I'm going to have and the healthier gums.

Most of all though, using this in the shower makes it really easy to WANT to clean your teeth. I'm not a teeth-cleaning nut, but this thing makes me want to use it -- I can't take a shower w/o using it.

An extra little benefit is that the unit can come in handy as a pressure washer. Good for cleaning the shower and especially in grout areas. I'd recommend getting the 6' unit if you want this capability; also, if your shower is next to the sink, the longer hose can allow you to use the unit there.

This is a fantastic product! You should Google the link between gum disease, heart disease, and diabetes and you will find a mind blowing link. Bacteria enter your body from under your gums and travel through the rest of your system doing all variety of bad things to your internal organs. Who knew!

This product installs easily right at your shower head and serves as a really great way to blast away the plack...much more powerful than an ordinary water pick because you are dealing with water at house pressure.

It tickles a bit at first but you will get used to in in a couple of months. I was able to reduce my 5 millimeter pockets in the back of my mouth to zero in six months.

If you are really tricky and breath through your nose as you clean your gums you can sometimes smell the bacteria being flushed away...yuck.

Trying to maintain dental prophylaxis preventing disease by keeping the teeth and mouth free of food particles and plaque becomes more difficult the older we get. Bruushing and flossing doesn't quite get all of the particles so water jets seem to be a better method.

The sink top water pik versions are problematic; the self contained handheld ones don't have the jet power needed and the tiny reservoir needs to be constantly refilled; the large ones tethered to a tank are bulky and require care to not spray the pik's stream all over the bathroom.

The ShowerPik is ideal. You use it while you shower. Connected to the house water supply, the ShowerPik has all the pressure one needs to really clean teeth. The variable valve is easily installed between the water supply and the shower head letting the user (1)keep showering while diverting water to the Pik, (2)use only the Pik or, (3)turn it off to complete showering. Some experimentation with the valve is needed to find the right pressure for your needs. Warning! Make sure you turn the ShowerPik valve off when you finish the shower.

The ShowerPik is not safe for little children because of the power of the stream and amount of water released.

I highly recommend the ShowerPik for its great utility and very affordable price.

This is one of those products that make me wonder how I ever managed without one. I actually look forward to "showering" my gums with this device at the end of the day. I've never used a standard countertop oral irrigator, so I can't compare them, but one of the great things about the ShowerBreeze is that it gives you great freedom to move the nozzle around in your mouth and explore without worrying about the water flying everywhere. The pressure can be quite strong, which tickles at first, but you will eventually learn how to harness that energy. One caution: I found that spraying behind my rearmost bottom molars for a prolonged period seemed to dislodge or displace part of my gumline, or perhaps it caused (or cured?) an inflammation of the gum. In any case, this resulted in horrible, chronic halitosis until I stopped spraying back there for a week or so. The moral: It's possible to irrigate TOO aggressively with this thing and not even realize it because it feels so good. I use a more indirect approach now, like aiming the jet more at my teeth and letting the spatter irrigate my gumline. My only other complaint is that the whole hose thing is unsightly and looks like something you might find in a retirement home. But it gets the job done.

UPDATE: I loved this product at first (originally 5 stars), but the lever that switches the water flow from the shower head to the irrigator hose wore out after about 18 months because it is made of cheap plastic. This is a major design flaw in my opinion. I recommend buying an H2Oral Irrigator instead, which integrates the switch into handpiece. It is cheaper, easier to use and seems like it will last indefinitely.

Like many people, I find it hard to break bad habits and even harder to form good ones.

Oral irrigation in the shower with ShowerPik is so easy. I like how it feels and since I'm in the shower anyway, it's so easy to use my ShowerPik regularly.

I have been using ShowerPik for 5 months and it is just part of my life now. Recently, my dentist commented on the health of my gums. Finally, a good habit formed. - Dental Irrigators - Waterpik - Dental Water Pik - Oral Hygiene'

Panasonic Lumix - digital camera, lumix

Visit Store Now !!

I am not a camera or photography aficionado, so I cannot offer a super technical review -- of which the electronics section here on Amazon is replete with -- however what I can say, from a layman's perspective, is that this camera is unimaginably magnificent.

I got this camera for my birthday and I simply wanted a camera that would provide a good, high-quality and affordable upgrade to my six megapixel Samsung camera that I bought three years ago - also for my birthday. Without even a modicum of hesitation, I can proudly say that this Panasonic camera more than exceeded my expectations.

The 14 MP camera takes clear and crisp photographs and has a smorgasbord of different settings to make the pictures you take precisely how you want it. You can adjust your camera setting before you snap your picture, and you can also conveniently edit it after you take your picture. So you can never really take bad pictures. I find the settings to be really great.

I also wanted a camera that would be good for action pictures. Often times, on my previous camera, I would take moving photographs and the pictures would come out blurry and you can tell that it was taken in motion. In contrast, this camera is wholly different. I tested out several moving pictures and the camera adroitly captures the moment I want captured beautifully, without any kind of visible motion blurriness.

However, I leave the best aspect of this camera till last: the unthinkably great HD video capture. When buying a camera I wanted something that could capture HD videos so I can record different moments in film and store them, and perhaps something that would be good for YouTube videos: I found it. This video camera records gloriously crisp and colorful 720p HD. As good as the quality of the photo camera itself is, I think the video capture function is remarkably better. You simply just cannot fault it.

I have never really been a Panasonic person. I know their stuff is purportedly of good quality and durable, but I have just never bought a product other than batteries. However, after buying this magnificent camera, I think I'll be investing in a lot more Panasonic products.

I went in with pretty low expectations, and came out thoroughly impressed.

Needless to say, I have been taking a whole lot of pictures on this thing.

By the way, for the record, I haven't yet read the instruction manual, yet I have no problem operating the camera. I think that speaks wonders of its ease of use. Panasonic Lumix DMC-FP3 14.1 MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 3.0-Inch Touch-Screen LCD (Black)

I love this camera mostly because of its size, most other cameras of the same size don't take as nice pictures. Its super easy to carry around so you'll end up taking more pictures because you won't mind having it with you all the time. The Intelligent Auto works pretty well and it has face and scene detection which is great, along with really good image stabilization. Battery life on this thing is great too, You can take about 800-1000 pictures with this thing before you have to charge the battery.

My only con is the low-light capability, its pretty poor. Outdoor or indoors with adequate lighting makes for some excellent pictures, but in low light the pictures come out pretty grainy. And the flash on this camera is rather weak so that doesn't help much either. You can raise the ISO up and it has a High Sensitivity scene mode as well to try to help make the picture come out, but only adds to the grain. Now this is expected in such a compact camera so I'm not docking because of it, but its definitely worth noting if you're looking to take a lot of low-light pictures.

Overall this is a great buy, certainly not gonna take the same quality pics as its big brothers but if you want a simple, good quality compact then this is your camera.

This is a really good camera for a really good price. I was quite pleased with the quality of the photos and the overall look.

The touchscreen feature sometimes doesn't quite work as expected, but with patience it gets the job done.

The 14.1 MP resolution results in great pictures, but the functions are still a little complicated for me... There are many different combinations that can be used which becomes a little too much.

I highly recomend this camera. However, if you have issues with a touchscreen, this camera might not be the one for you, as the touchscreen on it sometimes doesn't respond.

I am really pleased with my purchase.

i`m fairly happy with my purshase, the camera has a really nice small size that lets me carry it in my pocket without any nonesense (its smaller than my wallet). Takes good pictures and great HD video quality even when shooting small detail things like necklaces for example. The inteligent mode does a great job recognizing the scene and its a very simple camera easy to work.

The major failure I`ve come to notice is that in playback function upon zooming and scrolling the picture the touch panel does a lousy job and its function becomes rubish. Other than that the combination touch panel- real buttons do a great job.

I would recomend this camera specially for the price, but advice to look around for better options if touch panel isnt your thing or u can manage with a camera bit larger and not so stylish. - Lumix - Leica Lens - Point And Shoot - Digital Camera'

Samsung Wep200 - samsung wep200, headset

I had to replace my original hook after it broke in half. I decided to order the 10 pack thinking that these would do the same. I'm still on my first one. These seem to be a little stronger than the original and I know that I have 9 more when I need them. Samsung Original Ear Hook Earhooks hooks for WEP180 WEP185 WEP200 WEP210 WEP350 WEP500 Bluetooth Headset [ TEN PACK EARHOOKS ]

My ten pack is down to five....they keep braking. I kept my bluetooth is a outside pocket in my purse where two broke, I changed to a section of my console in the car, one broke, I brought a padded pouch, fourth one broke and the last one broke while I was wearing my bluetooth. I thought someone had shot at me, almost wreck the car. I have not been careless; no dropping, bumping or sitting on it. I have no idea what the problem is.

It is a good thing that I bought 10, because the first one broke as I was puttng it on, and the second one broke after I had it on and tried to remove it to change to the other ear. In it's defense though, they aren't that expensive, in fact I think that I paid more for the shipping.

Not a lot to review here. It's a pretty basic product, not a whole lot can go wrong. Works fine. Got here quick. My only issue is that, like the one that came with my ear piece, this is still breakable. I find it hard to believe that they can't make one of these things unbreakable.

when the factory supplied ear hook immediately broke on me I thought I needed to buy multiple replacements so I bought a ten pack. It has been nearly two months and i am still using the first ear hook of the pack.

Not using these ear hooks as intended. I have a set of earbud headphones that don't stay in well and I'm using these to help keep the earbuds in place. Works OK, but doesn't stay on very well - not surprising as they aren't designed for my earbuds. - Samsung Wep200 - Headset - Ear Hook'

The quality is very good and it is almost a letter size - still need to cut to fit if you want to hang the printed page, but now just a little bit. I noted that fact, because it is very hard to find a quad-lined notebook that fit a letter page.

Since there are quad-lovers (like me) and some of them are also a printed page stapling-lovers (like me) I am sharing my experience about it - this notebook is the biggest I could find among quads. Rediform Quadrille Ruled Stiff Cover 10 1/8 x 7 7/8 Inch 96-Page Lab Notebook (53110)

I use this notebook for my lab class because we're required to have a hardcover notebook with sewn-in pages; it works great, and I like to use quadrille paper more than lined. I only wish this was available in a cheaper price.

We use these notebooks in my research lab for all of our projects and in the teaching lab so students can learn how to document their experiments and record data properly. The cover is rigid, pages are sewn in, and the quadrille format facilitates drawing tables, etc. Sharpies will bleed through the paper, however, so avoid those or write only on one side of the page. I do wish the pages were numbered, but otherwise, they fit our needs quite well. - Notebooks - Notebook'

Friction Mount - garmin nuvi, garmin mount

Keeps my unit more secure and out of the critical lines of sight. I no longer have to worry about the suction cup coming loose (it was especially bad in cold weather. It comes with two different types of pads to secure it to the dash, temporary and permanent. I used the temporary one and after a month it is still solid. Garmin Dashboard Mount (010-10747-02)

Used this item to mount my Garmin 550 on the dashboard (I had the one that came with the GPS in my other car). Works very well... the fit between the mount and the GPS unit is very reassuringly snug. Be careul using the PERMANENT disk to mount it, though... it really, really is permanent. Use the temporary disk if you're not sure. Excellent product!

I had the base mounted already from my previous GPS, so really bought this for the arm portion. I had the mount base from my StreetPilot 2620 and it's been permanent on the dash for two years and no issues. This is much better than the windshield mount for the NUVI660. The product DOES NOT come with the cradle, so you have to use the existing one from your NUVI. Excellent.

Two days ago, it came off my dashboard... eventhough I installed it using the "permanent" tape that it comes with, the heat of the summer was enough and the glue wiped off clean. From the begining, I would have to be re-adjusting the angle of the Street Pilot because with the bumps it would go down; this never happened with the original suction cup that I had to re-cycle. So in general... not such a good idea.

I had the Garmin Street Pilot 2610 which was stolen and now replaced by Garmin Nuvi 760. The old GPS had the permanent dash mount which is still on my dash. The base is exactly the same as this item except without the "arm". The "arm" fits perfectly in the old base and my new GPS fits on it perfectly without having to fear the unit may fall off of the suction device since I had the permanent mount for >2 years now.

I had the beanbag for the old GPS before, one day I stepped on the gas hard and the gps landed on the shifter and broke the screen. That's why I decided to mount it permanently.

This device works extremely well as an alternative to a suction cup mount. It gets your gps on the dash instead of hanging off the windshield. Very high quality. Also, lets you use your Nuvi with your old Garmin bean bag mount.

Excellent product from excellent company.

When our Garmin 2720 StreetPilot died we purchased one of their NUVI units. To our surprise the dash mount for both of those lines is the same. The NUVI does require a gooseneck adapter that connects to the unit and slides into the dashmount. If you are making a similar transition, you may be better served by using your old dashmount and save the money needed to buy a new one.

The temporary adhesive pads soften in hot weather, which can cause the GPS to fall off your dash. Beside the risk of damage to your expensive GPS, this is potentially dangerous, because the GPS could slide under your brake pedal.

Other than the issue with the adhesive (which has been a problem for years), the mount is reasonably well designed and effective. - Garmin Mount - Garmin C550 - Gps Mount - Garmin Nuvi'
