Glad I made the jump to HDR

SANGEAN - HD Radio / FM Stereo / AM Set Top Box (HDT-1)
SANGEAN - HD Radio / FM Stereo / AM Set Top Box (HDT-1)

Pros: I've been watching this product for a while. The $ 40.00 rebate got me off the fence. I live in a FM reception is a chronic problem. I've been wedded with to classic Marantz tuner for decades. This HD unit is nowhere near as cool looking as my Marantz but radio is not a visual medium...THIS PACKAGE DELIVERS THE GOODS, I get 2-3X as many stations and the reception is better in every way than my previous tuner.

Cons: None, though I have read some by others. That helped me wait and save $ 40.00 I have read the negative comments about the "cheap" look ad feel of this unit....fah getta bout it! Do you want to listen to your radio or sit and look at. The face of the remote is bright blue.

Overall Review: Anyone want a beautiful Marantz Stereophonic FM Tuner Model 125?

I must have received a bad one

OLYMPUS EVOLT E-510 Black 10.0 MP Digital SLR Camera w/ ZUIKO DIGITAL 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens
OLYMPUS EVOLT E-510 Black 10.0 MP Digital SLR Camera w/ ZUIKO DIGITAL 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens

Pros: The Oly E-510 arrived, I unpacked it, charged up the battery, attached the lens and spent a couple of hours reviewing the manual. Took a a couple of simple test shots, they looked great! This camera was my upgrade from a Canon G-4 point and shoot and the difference was significant, by every optical parameter these few pics looked great.

Cons: The next day, I noticed that the execution of many of the menu functions was inconsistent...at first I wrote it off as operator error. Then the real trouble began. I took a few more shots and they showed a wild black and white pulsating noise. I tried everything, then, the shutter started randomly operating pretty much on it's own. I had a friend with a lot of digicam experience look at it. His said simply, "It's busted" I have have always been partial to Canon cameras so ordering this Oly was a big departure for me. NEVER, NEVER AGAIN! I bit the big bullet and traded up to a Canon 40D. It's twice as much dough that I did not want to spend but I have never had a problem Canon. After a couple of minor mis-steps Crystal @ Newegg got it all squared away. THANK YOU Crystal, you and those like you are why I buy virtually all of my tech toys @ Newegg. My Canon should be here in a couple of days.

Overall Review: Another "Pro" (if you could call it that), At least the Oly failed right away rather than post warranty

Run away as fast as you can

Pros: It works as stated. Has a very stable base that allows it to take up a small space on the desk. Build quality seems better than others I've had. Came with an extra 4 port hub for FREE! What else could you need?

Cons: It can not cure tea bagger syndrome
