    Needs replacing too fast
    I, too, find that I have to replace the cartridges WAY too fast for the small amount of printing I do — and cartridges for this model are NOT refillable.

    I have to replace the magenta and yellow cartridges again, but when they’re empty I’m buying a better printer.

    Here today, gone today
    I haven’t even printed 40 pages on my CX-6000 yet, and I’m out of black ink and low on all the others. The 6000 prints much slower than advertised also. This was a bad purchase.

    The heck with Durabrite ink, I’m buying the $4 to $5 knock-offs. I would have bought a color laser if I wanted to spent a paycheck on consumables.

    Stylus Color CX5000 and CX6000 Durabrite Cyan Ink
    I just used it for about 3-5 times. In a simple file. Theres not much color on the files. And then Its already empty. All of the 3 ink jets i purchased is already empty.

    Nice card
    I purchased this for my HP iPAQ i recently bought and it works liek a charm. Very fast and even makes the iPAQ look slow. I also use it with my computer and it works really fast and compatable with vista 32bit.

    Nice!
    This is a nice, large-capacity memory card that holds tons of pics! It is also pretty fast in both reading/writing 8MP photos in my Canon Powershot SX1000I. But I don’t notice much speed difference between this one and my previous Kingston 120x card. The price was pretty decent though.

    Small Size, Huge performance
    Got this SDHC card for my Sanyo CG6 camera and it works like a charm. It works as advertised folks!

    good stuff, good price!
    I was skeptical at first when seeing the price pretty steep for a bag and a battery (sold at 100 dollars at Staples! What a ripoff!). But when I see Amazon has it for 1/3 less, I’m sold! This bag is large, can hold 2 SLR camera bodies and 3 lens. There are extra compartments for you to keep other stuffs (extra batteries, extra cards, cable, manual…). I got my 10-MP Xti Rebel last month and was tempted to get this bag. The bag appears to be well-made. I like the metal buckles! The strap is not the most ergonomic one, I feels a bit awkward to carry it, but I think it’s due to the bulkiness of the bag’s size. I put my Nikon Coolpix 7900 into the bag (it takes one spot of the lens), so I’m good to go with a SLR and a point-and-shoot cameras. I definitely go for another good Canon lens or two to explore more about my new camera as well as fill up this bag! Make me feel like a pro! lol. At the current price, I’d recommend buying it! Amazon has 30-day price match, pretty sweet when they lower the price further!

    Love it!
    I purchased this camera bag from an electronics chain store for more than Amazon is selling it. I love the bag. It is perfect. I carry my Rebel with a lens attached, an external flash, another lens, spare batteries, filters, a couple of manuals, all of this with room to spare. The shoulder strap is padded for comfort. It has velcro around the top in addition to the two clasps that keep the bag closed.I think that it is perfect. I just wish that I had looked at Amazon before I purchased it.

    great buy
    I purchased this starter kit based on a friend. I admit I would always love more gadgits when I buy a kit, but everything was great. I get complements on the 200DG bag, the battery comes in handy when I am on vacation and away from a power plug, and the filter does what it is suppose to. In short, worth the money.

    Not As Advertised
    The Amazon image of this paper indicates it is 108 brightness. When I received the paper, the Epson boxes had no brightness number on them at all. When I compared the paper brightness to some 104 that I had, I found that this paper is probably closer to a 97. I will certainly not buy it again and Amazon should remove the image from their site that shows it to be 108 brightness.

    The Epson bright white paper is the best paper I have found , It is great for double sided printing , It is the brightest white paper out there , You can buy staples paper for less money but you get what you pay for ..

    a good buy
    high grade paper, thick and smooth and works superbly with inkjet printers. rather heavy though. good thing it ships right through your door so you won’t have to lug it from the store. a bit more expensive than your regular 8 1/2 x 11 but it’s worth it.

    Customer Reviews:
    right product, wrong colour
    When you order a black, and you get a blue, that’s not really what I call customer service…

    The product itself is OK;

    excellent iPod nano case
    The product seems well made with a good fit over the iPod nano. Included are two clear plastic protectors; one for screen and the other for the click wheel. The case has clear plastic over screen and click wheel and neoprene over sides and back.

    The arm band and palm band components included in kit have a good fit and have a click slot to secure the neoprene case. The belt clip in my kit fitted rather tightly and is somewhat difficult to remove.

    In all, this is a very nice kit at a reasonable price that provides several carry options in addition to providing protection for the iPod. The neoprene case is also nice to the touch.

    I found taking the iPod completely out of the case for charging rather difficult because the case’s plastic piece tends to form a bond to the iPod screen. Slipping the USB cable connector under the bottom flap of the case for charging and syncing is probably the way to go.

    As a final note, I took the 3G nano on a trip recently and used it in combination with Bose QC3 over-the-ear headphones. A very nice combination; the portability of a nano in this case with the excellent acoustics of the QC3.

    Good product - good company (warranty)
    The only cases I have bought over the years for my ipods have been the Marware Sportsuit Convertible. The cases are very well made and completely cover the ipod so that it does not get wet and adds protection if dropped.

    My only complaint is the clip design in that you need a pen or some pointed object to release the pin when moving it from the arm band to the belt clip, but since I do not do that often it is nbd for me.

    A couple of years ago my case had a corner thread come loose and unravel creating a small hole that we all know would only get bigger. Called CS and was sent a new one - no problem. The other two cases that I have bought have had no problems. Not inexpensive but when protecting an expensive item it is a wothwhile investment imo.

    The latest case is for the newest gen nano (video) - just as well made as the other models.

    Good product - good company.

    Entry Level Handycam
    First let’s correct the Amazon description, this is a 40X optical zoom camera, not 25X as seen on the product itself.

    This is a great camera to start out with, the simplicity of Mini DV tapes makes this a good value choice. DVD camcorders in this price range suffer from bad battery life, and disk errors that can render your disks useless. The Mini DV tapes are tried and true.

    I use an Apple computer at home and the camera connects to iMovie with no problems using the iLink port on the camera. All you need in most cases is a Firewire 6pin to 4pin cable, and you are good to go.

    The video and audio quality are good, and the night vision is fun too. This is not a upper level camera so don’t expect several bells and whistles, but it performs great, and has the basic features most people will ever need. The battery life is fair, but that is expected, all camcorder companies want you to buy an extra battery, but at least Sony gives you several options.

    With a full charge and a new tape, expect about an hour of record time.

    Sony DCR-HC52 MiniDV
    Item was straw purchase; I purchased it for someone else, a friend who has never chosen to use any form of credit card. But anyway, the camera works flawlessly in it’s chosen use, filming skydiving students/customers while mounted on a helmet.

    Only a little lack of info on Amazon site, but easily obtainable on Sony site was the lens size/thread pitch so a wide angle lens could be purchased. Overall, no complaints, camera and Amazon worked as expected.

    Nice camera NO USB
    I bought this camera, comes with Windows Computer edit software, but guess what? I does not have an USB port, I learn that the manual I checked was also for the DCR-HC54 which has USB, but this cam has not. Now I should pay expensive hardware in order to get to see my videos on computer.

    I will not recommend this stuf, I whish I could change it!!

    Running for distance
    This item was ordered as a birthday present for my 39 year old son who is a member of the Oklahoma City Police Department He would most likley be the best person to respond to this opinion. His coments to me is nothing short of a real rave for what he discribes as a very helpful item in helping him remain physical fit for his line of work. Willie Martinez

    Works like a charm
    I love this product. I originally had this whole wacky watch system, but I very much like the GPS system. It really works. I haven’t figured out all of the features yet but i’m getting by with what I know so far and it’s very good.

    Garmin Forerunner 205
    Definitely worth the money. Yes, it’s bulky compared to most sport watches, but compared to other GPS receivers (since it is a GPS receiver) it’s relatively compact. I have run with it in 12-14 degree temps. It works, although the display is slow to switch to the next screen. My only gripe is that it seems to take more than the advertised 30-60 seconds to locate satellites so that I can actually start running. Otherwise it’s a great gadget!

    WONDERFUL!
    Great product! Great price! A little slow shipping it to me, but I didn’t pay for a quicker drop either. :)

    JBVideos
    This product charges the Zen Player in half the time , it works very good and I would recommend it .. The car charger works just as good also..

    One Component Works, One Doesn’t
    I should have paid attention to the reviewers who indicated problems with the wall charger in this set. I plugged my Creative Zen V Plus into the charger last night and it seemed to be working. After several hours it had not charged fully, which was strange because the battery wasn’t really down that low. When I disconnected the player from the charger, the Zen V went into recovery mode. I reset several times and tried all the options in the recovery menu. After multiple attempts to re-install firmware, my PC froze and I had to go into task manager to end the install. Then my player suddenly booted up and started working. I am extremely aggravated about this for several reasons:

    1. Amazon should NOT describe a product as being “from Creative labs” if it will not work with Creative products.

    2. The charger clearly caused problems with my player. I have only had the player for a week, and now I am nervous about further problems, especially since I’m not sure the final firmware install completed as it should have.

    3. Several hours worth of work was lost since I had to reload everything onto my player.

    The car charger seems to work, although I have only used it once. Now I will be holding my breath each time I try it.

    I should have known not to take the cheap way out, but I expect that a product associated with Creative labs should at least not destroy my player. Shame on you Amazon!
