Egg Poacher

Like poached eggs? like poached eggs quick and easy cleanup? these little high tech cups float in boiling water with egg in them. Cooked egg comes out easily, and the emptied cups wash out in a jiff. I have been on the lookout for egg poacher for years (I'm not much of a shopper) and bought these when I stumbled upon them on Amazon. SILICONE EGG POACHERS, SET OF 2

I left a wrong review originally regarding these egg poachers.....we used these for the first time today and I love them.....slip right out of the cup on to toast and the best part is no messy pan to try and scrub egg whites off of.....

I bought four sets of these to poach eggs for a crowd on Easter Sunday. As long as you spray the inside with some type of oil as directed, the eggs slip out perfectly. The only caution is to watch your water level. If the water is too high in the pot, these poachers will tip and allow some water to get into the egg. I wouldn't put more than an inch of water in the pot, less if you use a lot of poachers at one time (they raise the water level). You'll probably need to adjust the time the eggs cook, depending on how cooked you like your eggs. I found between six and seven minutes sufficient with simmering water.

I ordered these after reading the reviews. I read a few where the people said the eggs didn't pop out of the cups easily. I was prepared for stuck eggs. That did not happen.

I sprayed the cup with non stick cooking spray and cracked an egg in it. I followed the directions...bringing about an inch and a half of water to a boil and then carefully slipping the egg cup into the pan and put the cover on. I set the timer for 6 minutes. I lifted the egg cup out with a slotted spoon after about 5.5 minutes. The egg slipped right out of the cup in a perfect little circle. The white was done, the yellow soft. Just perfect. The pan is pristine and so is the slotted spoon. Even the silicone cup isn't stuck up. I just ordered another set so I can fix 4 eggs at once.

This would work perfect for hard cooked eggs also and you wouldn't have to peel them afterwards!

I love these little poach pods! Just shoot them with some Pam spray, drop in the eggs, and pop 'em in the boiling water for six minutes and you get the perfect poached eggs. The egg slides right out without any problem at all, and they're very easy to clean.

I have to say first that I have never reviewed a purchase before. But these were so great and easy to use I had to share. I followed the instructions they include with the poachers--I sprayed the inside with cooking spray--and when they were done they slid right out! I didn't even have to loosen them with a knife like the instructions suggest. I left one egg in for 4 minutes and the other in for 8 because my husband likes his yolk more solid. Each of the eggs looked and tasted great and came out of the pod with complete ease. I was really pleased with this product.

These cutest poachers are awesome! Sprayed with canola oil, ran the spoon around the edges - slipped right out and on top of a toasted english muffin with pastrami on it and topped with hollandaise! Yumm - perfect super quick breakfast! I'm buying the second set now :)

For anyone who likes eggs, especially poached eggs, these are a must have. I am not big on most kitchen gadgets, but these are very easy to use, and clean up quick and easy. Even my husband will use them. Another extra is the shape of the egg is perfect for topping an English muffin or other sandwich. For only a few dollars, you can have the perfect poached egg!

Finally an egg poacher even I can use. Makes perfect poached eggs using your covered pot and 1 1/2 inch of boiling water. Follow instructions and make sure you get an even coating of oil or non-stick spray on the inside of the pods. Easily cleaned. Can be removed from pot with bare fingers if you are careful. Holes are present for utencil assisted removal. Uses minimal cupboard space. A must have item if you like poached eggs.

I've always preferred to have my eggs poached rather than over-easy (my compromise cause it seemed easier). Just couldn't get the hang of making 'real' poached eggs - I always ended up with egg drop soup. So I treated myself to these little gadgets and I love them! They make perfect poached eggs, clean up so easily, and were so inexpensive. Silly to like a stupid little gadget that much, but I do.'

Kindle Covers - book light, kindle accessory

Visit Store Now !!

I've noticed that like myself customers have been concerned primarily with two things regarding the new lighted case from amazon. These are: 1)The weight and 2) The uneven lighting. My review will briefly discuss these two things.

1)The Weight - The lighted leather case is a nice weight, sturdy and comfortable to hold. In ounces it is about the weight of the kindle itself however don't let that concern you. With the case on it feels like a medium sized paperback, however it is far much more comfortable to hold. It's easy to hold the case open like a book (nice for couch and table type reading) or to fold the front back and close it with the bungee so that the bungee doesn't hang around (this is good for bedtime reading).Closing the front back with bungee keeps the case folded in position and you don't have to worry about it bothering you. BTW THIS CASE FOLDS BACK 100% - Very comfortable. In sum very comfortable to read with the case and very sturdy.

2) The uneven lighting - Amazon's pictures don't do this case justice. The light hits the ENTIRE screen. Yes if you look closely it's brighter in the top right corner then in the bottom left but Amazon's pics make it look the top is lighted while the bottom is dark. There is good light all over the screen. Trust me I'm fussy about these things - the lighting will not bother you, your entire screen will be lighted and it is extremely pleasant to read in the dark.

*Final Thoughts - Great case, good quality, works well, kindle feels very secure and protected (I would feel comfortable slipping this case into my backpack or suitcase and I think it would sustain some mild impact). Lastly hinges are a non-issue, casing of the kindle will not get damaged with normal or even slightly aggressive use. You could damage the kindle by trying to pull the back of the case but you'd have to really force it to cause any sort of damage to your kindle. The hinges work fine and should not be a concern to any case user.

Update 1st December 2010:

Have now been using the case for 3 months. Leather still looks impeccable. Some people expressed concern that the bungee cord might loosen with use. I have not experienced any loosening so far. Quality of the product has proven outstanding. I've occasionally spilled or messed the cover, just a wipe with a damp cloth has cleaned it up, and the case looks like new. Have to admit I enjoy the feel of the case in my hand, there's just something great about taking your kindle to a coffee shop in this case, it just looks and feels so classy. Also with regard to the hinges: I have had no scratches on my kindle or any other issues, so I remain convinced that the hinges are a non issue. Kindle Lighted Leather Cover, Hot Pink (Fits 6" Display, Latest Generation Kindle)

I was hesitant to buy this cover mostly due to the pictures in its listing, which seem to show a light that doesn't even extend to the opposite corner. The fact that I have not been impressed with the Amazon's Kindle covers in the past didn't help. I went ahead and purchased it because the cover I wanted isn't available yet and I don't like to take my Kindle out and about without a cover. Now I am glad that I went ahead and bought it.

PROS:

1. The light is much better than I thought it would be. Using it in a darkened room I found that the light did the job very well. In a pitch black room, it performs even better. While the screen corner opposite the light is a bit dimmer than other areas, there is no problem reading the page at all.

2. The light gets its power from the Kindle itself, through the gold-plated hinges which attach it to the cover, so batteries are a thing of the past. When your Kindle goes to sleep, the light will go out as well. It will also turn off when you slide it back into the case.

3. The cover is slim, well-fitted and very easy to attach and detach using the hinges. The inside has good padding. The leather outer surface has a nice pebbled texture with the exception of a smooth area along the edge of the front. While stiff enough to protect the reader, the cover is slight flexible and the front easily folds behind when reading so you can hold your Kindle with one hand if you like.

4. A great plus is that the cover has an elastic cord that fits into a groove on the front of it. This holds your cover closed (unlike the original Kindle 2 cover that would flop open in your purse & let things slide into it) and easily distinguishes the front from the back--important as many owners of the Kindle 2 cover accidentally opened it from the back, which could cause cracking along the Kindle's spine.

CONS:

I haven't found any, really. The light Is a bit hard (stiff) to pull out of the cover, but then you wouldn't want it to be flopping out when you don't want to use it so that is more of a Pro than a Con.

The one concern I do have is about pulling the light in and out--I wonder if whatever wiring or conductor that is used to get the power from the hinges to the light will eventually break. But that is something to find out down the road. Right now, the more I use this cover, the more I like it. - Kindle Accessory - Kindle Covers - Book Light - Kindle Lighted Leather Cover'

Super Saver Shipping - camcorder bag, small camera bag

Visit Store Now !!

I purchased this camera bag for my GE X5 pro series digital camera. It is about half the size I expected from the pictures, but hold the camera securely in place. I would not suggest this camera for a DSLR camera that you wish to carry additional lenses with. There is not room. I do wish it was a little larger so that I could put my other (smaller) Canon digital camera in the bag with my X5. I am also unable to fit my user manual in this bag, so I hope I never need it when I am away from home! This bag has two side pockets which fit cords nicely. It also has a front pocket that has a velcro flap and zipper to store batteries, memory cards, etc. In short, I wish it were a little larger so I could fit my manual and other camera comfortably, but overall, I am satisfied. AmazonBasics Camcorder/Camera Bag with Shoulder Strap (Black)

I bought this bag for my Canon Vixia HF M31 camcorder based on commets other people made about the recommended Canon bag being way too big. The AmazonBasics Camcorder Bag with Shoulder Strap is well-made with a nice, soft interior. The build quality is fine and I like the concept of the belt loops positioned so that you can open the bag toward you, eliminating the fear that the camera will fall out. (This kind of makes it look like a fanny pack and I believe those went out of style back in the... uh, were fanny packs ever in style?)

Nonetheless, the bag is not very useful for my camcorder. The main compartment is too big for the camera without the divider. The picture of the Canon camcorder sitting horizontally in the bag is a little deceptive as the main compartment is too deep for it to rest up that high by itself. If you use the divider, the camera fits fine (vertically), but the rest of the compartment isn't nearly big enough for all the necessary accessories. Given that the batteries on these new camcorders only last an hour or so, you really need to pack the power cord (with the in-line power converter similar to those found on laptop power cords). The internal pockets are big enough for a memory card or a small cleaning cloth or a couple of AA batteries, but nothing else. I did eventually jam everything into the main compartment, but I nearly had to sit on it to get it closed.

The good news is that I still had an old Case Logic bag, the TBC-5, which I had been using for an old still shot camera. If you look that one up on Amazon, there is a picture of it with a camcorder (horizontal) and a point-and-shoot (vertical). I put my new camcorder in there vertically where the point-and-shoot is in the picture and the cords and accessories where the camcorder is shown. It fits like a glove! It was almost like it was made for the camera. I could put in everything that came in the box with the camera except the CD-ROMs and the instruction manual. Better still, the old still shot camera I had in there fit great with all its accessories in the AmazonBasics bag, so after a little switcheroo, I've got a perfect bag for each.

The upshot: the AmazonBasics bag is ok, but the Case Logic TBC-5 is perfect for my camcorder. They are both the same height and the TBC-5 is only a few inches longer. You get a lot more effective space for only a slight increase in size. Unfortunately, it looks like Amazon is not currently stocking the TBC-5, but another bag linked from that page, the Tamrac 5522, looks similar. I think you would have to give up the belt loops, though.

This well padded, small to medium size bag is perfect for my Pentax X90 superzoom camera. The fabric is strong, zippers work well and seem well made. The shoulder strap is solid. With the camera in its place in the main compartment, there is room inside the bag (on the other side of the movable divider) for the charger power cord. The front pocket easily holds the battery charger. The two side pockets have room for additional SD cards. lens cloths, etc. The netting inside the front pocket has separated from the seam tape at the top, but that doesn't create a problem for my use. Overall, very happy with this case. Compared to the price of similar sized camera bags, this was an excellent value. Would strongly recommend to my friends. - Small - Small Camera Bag - Camera Bag - Camcorder Bag'

Soft Leather

Visit Store Now !!

I give this bundle package 3 stars(would have been 4) only because 2 of my gel sleeves were on backorder and it took some time getting them. I love this value pack and got it at a much lower price that it is now. I would recommend it to others! Crazyondigital Essential 20 items Accessories Leather Case Charger Screen Protector for Apple iPad 2 2nd Generation 16GB 32GB 64GB 3G Wifi

Wow this was an amazing buy the price was great a single tpu cost about $10 on eBay I received 4. Screen protectors are usually about $5-10 I received 3 and it's not cheap stuff good quality and tight fit..the red folio is nice but it does cover a bit of the volume button but not a big deal...all the other items worked fine but the cases are the real draw I cut one of the tpu case to fit the smart cover and kept the other three pristine after one month of use still looks new..

First let me say the original description for this item was a brown and black two tone vertical folio stand, not this 16pc bundle as it says now . I purchased this in February for my iPad for less than $5 with shipping, yeah $1.99 + S+H. Arrived in a few days, it was good for the price, I would have paid $25-$35 in a store for the same thing. I have seen cases with a similar quality easily sell for this much, so this was a steal.

On to the case itself: Has a smooth texture, pebble-grainy like leather and has a nice grip to hold, and the case overall gave my ipad a very professional appeal with the outer tab closure. I liked the two tone combination of the leather and brown tones for it made this case unique and look very proffesional.

Inside the case is a smooth black lining (I dont want to say velvet)more like a synthetic fabric which had a invisible sleeve/pocket and a business card sleeve/holder. There were four corners holding up the ipad, two elastic on top and two leather-like tabs at the bottom. It is a tight grip on the device, but I can see how some people say the elastics can get in the way of accesssing the volume and power buttons as some reviews have noted on other similar cases.

I think if you dont take care of the case, I can see the cardboard like material (in my opinion this is what it is) in the support that is underneath the iPad seems like it would bend eventually. I've already seen it curve slightly in the center, so I guess you get what you pay for. I am not complaining.

Sadly, I only got to use this case for a couple of days before selling my ipad, so now I have the case and will temporarily use it on my ipad2 when it arrives until I find an ideal case for it.

Although the package arrived a few days later than expected, and unfortunately the seller failed to communicate about the delay (Amazon did), I was pleasantly surprised when the set finally arrived. For $14 plus $3 for shipping I received a nice quality case with an inside flap (something that I was looking for), two skins (and a note that 2 more will arrive when the company receives shipment - lets hope so), 3 screen protectors, two chargers, etc. etc. This truly was a very good deal - I doubt that I would be able to buy a similar case itself for less than $30. I am surprised that the seller has increased the price of this accessory set by $10 in just a week.....

I got this for less than $10 including shipping, very nice quality, I wanted the ipad to be holded on four sides

and this serves the purpose.

Only downside getting to some controls is difficult beacause of the tabs on four sides. I can live with that.'

Combination Co2 Smoke - first alert, smoke alarm

Visit Store Now !!

Our house was wired for smoke detectors -- specifically the rather cheesy BRK 4120SB, which delights in false "low power" chirping. My goal was to replace the ones in the bedrooms with combination alarms that would alert us not only to smoke but to the presence of carbon monoxide. (Not to scare you but harm and even death from carbon monoxide poisoning are definite risks, especially in a home with deep-sleeping teenagers.)

I needed units that would be compatible with the wiring of our current system, and ideally ones that would accept the power leads, as wired. After some research here and elsewhere, I called the BRK help line and got definite information about the unit that would be compatible, as well as locations within the home where I both should and should not install units.

I ordered two units to start with, still being a bit leery of my previous experience, and can say that installation took less than 5 minutes per device.

1. Follow the instructions for removing the plastic tab in the battery door of your new unit and pushing the button to test your new unit. If all's well, proceed. Disregard the "locking pin" stuff unless you are in a shared dwelling and are concerned with someone walking off with your 9-volt battery. (This was the weirdest part of the instructions, frankly, and this is my guess on why it's there.) **Important: you are listening for 3 tones, pause, 3 tones, pause, 4 tones, pause, 4 tones. There is a typo at the bottom of page 3 of the instructions, so I've just verified with BRK that the tone pattern I'm mentioning is the correct one.

2. Twist off and unplug your current unit.

3. Back the two screws holding your collar to the ceiling so you have enough clearance to remove the collar.

4. Install the new collar.

5. Install your new unit. (A wired plug is included in case you need to swap your existing plug for the new plug.)

Fellow owners of the 4120SB will find that the upgraded unit sets and locks into place in the ceiling *much* easier and more reliably. Ditto with the battery door. Note that on the SC9120B, if you're having problems with the battery door not shutting (a) there is a little trigger tab that you should be able to push down with a fingernail and/or (b) hold the unit upside-down.

***A word, please, about longevity, since the primary purpose of an alarm is your safety.

1. Replace your batteries at least once a year.

2. Combo smoke/carbon monoxide units have a 5-year life span, per BRK staff. Regular smoke alarms have a 10-year lifespan. Not replacing them within these timespans is, in my opinion, the most dangerous kind of false economizing. (Note also that if you need help, the BRK customer service apparently has improved greatly since the experience of earlier reviewers of the product line. The call I made in June could not have been more thorough and professional, even to dealing with the phantom beeps of my 5-year-old alarms.)

3. Whether or not you buy this or any smoke alarm product, please do yourself and your family two favors. First, label the plug (hidden) side of your units with the install and replace dates. Second, change your batteries at least once a year.

BTW, I gave the unit a 4 rather than a 5 because while the battery door and twist-on/twist-off issues are less irritating than on the earlier generation, they still do exist. First Alert SC9120B Hardwire Combination Smoke/Carbon Monoxide Alarm with Battery Backup

Received three BRK SC9120B replacements after original units (4 years old) started a low battery chirp with new Duracell batteries. Spoke with BRK rep. about problem and they sent three new units with Duracell batteries. The units worked fine for about two weeks before all three started to chirp a low battery signal. In that time our other three BRK smoke only detectors that were installed 4 years ago started the same chirping sound. Again called BRK and they were going to send us three replacements for them. After the nightmare of having six four year old BRK products fail in a matter of three weeks and three brand new replacement units fail in two weeks. I would stay away from BRK! I have read elsewhere about an issue with BRK and Duracell so I was a bit surprised when the new units arrived with Duracell batteries in them.

I have a rental property and this year, the city's new regulation required installation of these detectors. One of the detectors malfunctioned and the terrified tenant called 911, who proceeded to do over 1000 dollars in property damage.

I subsequently found out that even the EPA has admitted that many of the CO detectors they tested were unreliable, and either went off at too low of a level or did not sound at dangerously high levels.

According to their website, the best way to keep the building's inhabitants safe is to have fuel-burning appliances properly installed and maintained by licensed professionals to make sure that the gases (including CO) are vented properly.

I ended up doing a lot of research related to CO as a result. I have the documentation from the Fire Department indicating the levels that they measured (WAY BELOW the low threshold on the detector) even near the detector.

I knew that a problem was unlikely since the heat wasn't even ON at the time.

Nevertheless, they broke into two apartments, destroying irreplaceable historic doors and frames. Even the fire chief told me that if I have a hard-wired smoke detector/CO detector combo, I should get it replaced as they have had false alarms with that type of detector. But as mentioned on the EPA website, and evidenced by many other reviews on Amazon etc, CO detection is apparently in it's infancy and I'm surprised that these detectors are even being sold, much less required by law.

Unfortunately, according to my lawyer, it's more trouble than it's worth to sue the city, so I had to suck up the CONSIDERABLE expenses myself. Not to mention my poor tenant, who was (unharmed of course) but anxious.

I am so ANGRY, but the only thing I can do apparently is to WARN other people about these alarms. If you have one in your house and there's a false alarm, that's one thing. But if a tenant has a false alarm, you are vulnerable in many different ways.

The WORST thing about this type of alarm is that if the CO part malfunctions, you've lost your smoke alarm as well. In addition, since it's installed high on the ceiling, if it false alarms, you have to get on a ladder to turn the thing off.

I would not recommend the first alert smoke/CO alarm to ANYONE. - Smoke Alarm - First Alert - Carbon Monoxide - Brk Brands'

I was quite surprised by this product. I had a Canon remote but I misplaced it and I needed another to take pictures. I saw the price of this one and decided to try it out, worked better than the Canon brand. It allowed me to take pictures immediately or wait 5 secs between pictures. I would recommend this to everyone. Wireless Shutter Release Remote for Canon EOS, Rebel

Works perfectly - fantastic price - why pay more for a remote made by the camera manufacturer when this product works great for a fraction of the price? Note that you have to be standing in front of the camera for the remote to work, but that's because of where the infrared detector on the camera is located (i.e. same no matter whose remote you use). Also, I have a Canon XTi and you have to set it to "timer-mode" for the wireless remote to work. I also got a wired remote (made by the same company) which also works great.

the unit arrived today from New Harbour who shipped fast and i'm enjoying its benifit. i gave 4 out of 5 for the reason that if you use it on XSi model, the lower botton will not work. but it doesn't mean it won't work. Cheap but does the job of remotely triggering your cam. for less than a buck you are a sure winner. just make sure you point it directly to the cam sensor or you'll have a hard time taking your shot.

I didn't expect much from this remote. It's so cheap I almost can't complain about it. I bought it for my Canon XTi and only the "S" and "2S" buttons work. The "S" button will autofocus and take the picture instantly. The "2S" button autofocuses and waits 2 seconds before taking the picture. I'm not sure about other cameras, but my Canon XTi must be put into the remote shooting mode or it will not work. It can be a pain sometimes when you forget this and have to walk back to the camera to put it in the correct mode. As it says in the description, it only works up to about 16ft with direct line of sight. I've found it really only works consistently from a maximum of 12ft dead in front of the camera.

I purchased this item in advance for when I received my Canon T3i. It works great, but I have only used it for movie mode at this time. If your in movie mode, hitting the "s" button will take a picture, and the "2s" button will start and stop your video. This is a must have for anyone recording video of themselves for youtube and they do not have a second person behind the camera to operate it.

I bought this because I somehow lost my Canon R-5 remote and didn't feel like spending more than $5 on another. Works fine with the Canon 5D Mark II, also tested it with the Canon T2i and that works fine too. Because it's an IR, the picture is shot immediately, you don't get the 2 second delay like with the R-5 remote. I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars because the lower 3 buttons don't work on the 5D, rendering them useless for my purposes, "S" takes the picture and "2S" will trigger the video start/stop. Pretty awesome for $5 - should I ever lose this one I'd buy another one of these again (hope I don't have to though).

This is a simple remote that works with my Canon Xsi. Only the top two buttons work and it takes one or two photos.

The one thing I didn't think of is that there is no way to auto focus, so it is difficult to get a good self-image.

But it's cheap and does the trick! I recommend! - Canon Digital Camera'

Image Stabilization - lightweight, point and shoot

Visit Store Now !!

I have to say this before anything else - this is a $100 camera. You get what you pay for.

The good:

It's 10M Pixels

It's $100.

Takes nice pictures (in good light).

AA batteries.

Fits in my hand very well.

The "Auto" mode makes it easy.

The bad:

Cheap construction (to the point of damaging Canon's reputation of quality products in my opinion).

No image stabilization (but.... it is a $100 camera...)

**"Charging the flash"... This is an approx 5-10 second delay every time you want to take a picture. It may not sound like that much time, but it gets real annoying real quick.

Bottom line:

It takes pictures. It takes nice pictures. They get a little grainy and colors get a little off at low light. But in good light, it makes good picts. But the delay between pictures, mostly from the "Charging the flash" message, is just too much of an annoyance for me. Which is a shame, because this is a decent little camera otherwise. But, it's annoying enough that I wouldn't recommend purchasing this camera (unless your patiences exceeds mine). Canon PowerShot A490 10.0 MP Digital Camera with 3.3x Optical Zoom and 2.5-Inch LCD

I wrote a review on the little brother model A480 - a good camera (if used with ample lighting). If you look at the specs carefully, there is really nothing to distinguish this camera (A490) from the A480 to a novice or beginner.

I had them both side-by-side and also reviewed their specs side-by-side.

Pros

o Truly a fit-in-the-pocket camera

o AA batteries and good battery life

o Good pictures in decent lighting

Cons

o Build quality not great. *VERY* light and cheap plastic. Cameras from just 2 years ago put this to shame.

o Somewhat price. Save the $10 and buy the A480 if you like this style. These camera often fluctuate $20 at a time

o The camera isn't as well made as prior Canon's in this price range - though it is up on features.

o Not so good in low-light conditions

There is no image stabilization in this camera so low-light photos will be blurry in some cases - be careful of lighting..

Overall a good beginners camera but be ready to upgrade - especially if you drop it hard.

There are a lot of minor cons listed here, but you get a lot for a $100 10MP beginners camera like this as long as you don't shoot in low-light.

I just read the 1 review for this camera and it isn't really a review. They complained that there was no memory card and then doesn't even describe the performance of this camera. I just bought this camera and it is so easy to use, it also has great picture quality. When you are not using it then it automatically powers off saving the life of the battery. This is a great deal and I haven't seen many cameras come with a memory card unless it is being sold in a bundle or an online special. You can't rate the quality of a product by what accessories it didn't come with.

I bought this camera several weeks ago after my six year old Pentax Optio 30 was accidentally damaged. I held off on writing a product review until I learned all the features and got comfortable with navigating the menus. I can confidently say this camera is a great value in a reasonable price range.

Pros:

- Good picture quality under most conditions in Auto mode.

- Great pictures under all conditions if you make use of the many features this camera has to offer.

- Uses AA batteries.

- Quality materials/build.

Useful features everyone should want:

- Auto, Scene-based and Program modes

- Program mode offers adjustable ISO speed (80 - 1600), white balance, color saturation, sepia tone or black and white, metering, single shot or continuous frames

- decent video with reasonably high definition

- Normal focus range, plus infinity and macro

- Exposure control +/- 2 stops

- Playback mode while camera is off and lens is retracted

- better than average flash includes slow synchro mode and has adjustable flash exposure

Cons (no fault with this particular camera - these are general observations):

- Short battery life if flash is used often with standard alakalines.

(No problem. Buy a four-pack of Powerex 2700 rechargeables. I've been using them for years. Each charge lasts the equivalent of 3-4 pairs of throw-aways! And in a pinch, where CAN'T you buy standard AAs?)

- Could benefit from better ergo design.

(Why do manufactures pay such minimal attention to grip-ability of small electronics? Of course, if they made things too grip-able, we'd rarely drop them, and they'd sell less replacements...)

Anyway, ignore negative reviews written by the impatient and the uninformed. This is a fine, feature-packed compact camera, and it's easy to recommend at under $100. - Point And Shoot - Digital Camera - Image Stabilization - Lightweight'
