Too Small

Pros: Cheap, it works.

Cons: Much smaller than the photos lead you to believe. One piece of anything is all that will fit on the cooking surface. One sandwich at a time is about it.

Not Again!!

Kingston 4GB  Compact Flash Memory Card (CF/4GB)
Kingston 4GB Compact Flash Memory Card (CF/4GB)

Pros: Cheap.

Cons: Cheap, unreliable.

Overall Review: This is the second 4 gig Kingston flash card that has failed. I cant believe I got slapped again by a Kingston card right in the middle of a shoot. Thank my OCD self, I always bring backup cards everywhere. This card was purchased June 6th and died after about 4 uses. I formatted it in the camera before using it and 6 pics in I get an error 92. I quickly dropped in a trusty Transcend 2 gig card I have had for 5 years and finished the job. A big SHOUTOUT to Convar PC inspector for recovering the 6 pics I had on the card! I dont shoot for pay that often but will be purchasing a higher end card to replace this one. Not sure its even worth the RMA to Kingston.

Dont buy a refurb

Creative ZEN X-Fi 2.5" Black 32GB MP3 / MP4 Player With Wireless LAN
Creative ZEN X-Fi 2.5" Black 32GB MP3 / MP4 Player With Wireless LAN

Pros: Decent sound when it works. SD slot is great for adding music.

Cons: Refurb unit barely runs. It wont charge with anything but a laptop usb cable.

Overall Review: Totally regret buying this hunk of junk. I have owned many creative products and got stung with this one and Creative would not do anything over the 90 refurb warranty, 110 days after purchase.

Creative ZEN X-Fi 2.5" Black 16GB MP3 / MP4 Player With Wireless LAN
Creative ZEN X-Fi 2.5" Black 16GB MP3 / MP4 Player With Wireless LAN

Pros: Good sound quality. SD card expansion

Cons: Wont charge properly. Screen scratches just looking at it. Cant use standard usb wall charger. Creative says that is normal. You have to purchase their charger for 23 bucks! If you plug it into standard usb pc connector it takes 12 hours to charge the unit and then it only lasts 3 hours then dead.

Overall Review: Like an idiot I purchased a refurb directly from Creative because I wanted a second mp3 player just for the gym. I noticed that it would not charge correctly and did not return it right away, my fault. 90 day return for refurb products. I have purchased "anything but Ipod" for a long time but have seen cases where Apple would make an exception. Wont purchase Creative again.

Just Ok.

Sennheiser PX200 3.5mm Connector Supra-aural Dynamic Headphone
Sennheiser PX200 3.5mm Connector Supra-aural Dynamic Headphone

Pros: Lightweight, comfortable, not very expensive. Decent midrange.

Cons: Nowhere near as good as the PX100. I have owned the PX100 for over 3 years, having 2 pairs in that time used everyday. These are nowhere near as tight and clear. Low bass is very muddy, smeary and not as "tight". I recieved a gift certificate and these were the exact amount plus shipping of the card, made a mistake. I should have spent the extra dough and got another pair of 100's. They are not that bad, but if you have owned the 100's for any length of time, there is a big difference.
