Pros: My wife and I purchased two competing photo frames as gifts for relatives one year ago. They have been alright, however from that prior experience we were in a better position to evaluate one to purchase for ourselves and as a gift for my brother. The COBY DP882 has a very good screen I think, especially for the price in comparison to many other photo frames we looked at. The resolution is 800x600. Other frames even at higher price points have more restrictive resolutions and do not look as good in my opinion. My wife spent many years in print production. Her eye for color accuracy and other details is far superior to mine. She concurs that the COBY photo frame as a very pleasing output. The controls are convenient. I like being able to use several different types of memory cards, the USB2 transfer interface has worked well on both our Win2K-SP4 and MacOSX tiger computers. Even the MP3 music feature works fine, though I only expect to use it occasionally.

Cons: For the price I can't think of many disadvantages in comparison to photo frames from other manufacturers we looked at.

Overall Review: I convert the photos to the frames native 800x600 pixel resolution in Picassa before transferring. This is not required as it can process the conversion itself, however I like having more control of the result and this probably helps the frame load photos more quickly and efficiently. Where that really makes any difference, at least memory storage space is optimized. Maybe this is all a part of the reason I like Linux and design embedded systems.

Pros: Addendum to my earlier Review Post - Found on the Patriot website a Windows utility for the Xporter Family of USB drives that makes adjustments to the size of it's "security partition". Running this utility allowed the drive to be reformated later by Win2K as FAT32 and it seems to R/W data OK again. Others having problems might try this.

Cons: Hopefully the "fix" above will work, but it would not be and easy solution to find for some users.

Overall Review: I'll be testing it before trusting much of my data transfers, but I though I should post this info to help other Newegg customers.

Pros: Can keep my 60D lenses. Wonderful low light capability. Autofocus on video with MP4 compression! External mic input and earphone monitoring of sound. Same excellent build quality and value as my treasured 60D (held up during trips to Europe, Ethiopia, Uganda). 18-135mm IS USM lens has very quick focus support, better than I know how to use. My brother is a much better photographer, but now I have as good a Canon as his 7D for most of the shots I take.

Cons: No lens hood with a $1400 purchase ... really Canon ? Lots of new settings to learn, OK not really a bad thing, but only so many hours in the day. Few excuses for out of focus or bad exposure shots unless intentional arty composition.

Overall Review: Highly recommended. Helping me grow as a photographer.

Pros: Reliable review sites document fast transfer speeds; 111MB sec seq read, 30MB seq write, 1.1MB sec 4k random write (actually very good for small file random writes). small size, inexpensive for R/W speed performance

Cons: Absolutely horrible build quality. Thin plastic everything including the USB connector. It flexes and doesn't seem as though it could survive being left in the rain for 10 seconds before making sure to dry it out before using.

Overall Review: Left my good USB stick in vacation house and needed to purchase a replacement from a local Seattle chain store before a trip overseas. This was the fastest, cheapest available. My own fault for leaving my good one behind. Normally would have purchased from Newegg if time permitted. Might be OK if I handle it carefully. If you use it mostly indoors at the same location probably would be fine and admittedly it is fast.

Pros: Very good print quality in this price range for a range of document types. My wife was in commercial print production for 20 years and has a more discerning eye than mine. She likes the Xerox more than our Konica Minolta 1690. We had a Minolta 2250 fail under only light use at home. So far the Xerox has done well.

Cons: Prints slower than expected from a large color photo submitted by our iMac 2013. Might be the LPD based network protocol used. We hear that HP JetDirect based protocol is faster in a CUPS print subsystem, but haven't tested that fully yet.

Overall Review: Quiet when idle, fans go to sleep. Purchased from newegg in June 2012.

Pros: Some of my 10 Samsung F1 series drives still work, but not sure for how much longer. Four older 500GB F1 series are still OK in my NAS.

Cons: 3 of my Samsung drives have had serious problems (Delayed Write Errors..etc) mostly the larger HD103 1TB models. I will not buy Samsung for quite some time. The errors have appeared in computers that with other drives work fine. Yes of course it is never a question of IF but WHEN drives go bad and MTBF is no guarantee that you won't be the unlucky person at the leading edge of the failure curve profile. That said, my own experience and that of many other users does point to an unusually high incidence of failure for this particular F1 series sold between early 2008 and mid-summer.

Overall Review: Converting over the WD models. Google Samsung and F1 series like I have to get a better sampling of just how awful the situation has become.
