Short Changed
Pros: Purchased this for my wife for Christmas. Received it on time even though i ordered it about a week before the holidays. =)
Cons: When my wife opened the packaging it was missing everything but the power cord and frame itself. Aluratek was very slow to respond but did eventually send me the missing accessories. Product works but having difficulties with the orientation of the image when in slideshow mode. All images appear correctly when the device is in calendar mode, but this puts your picture into a small 3x3 window in the upper right corner.
Something's wrong.
Pros: None that I can see.
Cons: Not sure if DOA or just faulty product. Installed included disk on two computers. Plug in the device and it shows OK in Device Manager, but whenever i select it as the capture device in either the included honestech TVR 2.5 software or a free capture software I found online it locked up the software.
Overall Review: Oddly enough when i originally reviewed this product it was marketed as a Composite to USB video capture device. The ol switcheroo!
My go to bag
Pros: Very large capacity. I originally purchased this to lug my work laptop around. It ended up being my carry on for all sorts of trips whether i bring my laptop or not. Extremely sturdy and durable. I've had this bag for over 2 years and it's been on numerous camping, out of state and overseas trips. All of the zippers are still intact and there is no evidence of holes or seam breakage.
Cons: It's big enough that i occasionally have a hard time finding things in it.
Scam
Product appears to have shipped from China on Mar 26 and arrived in Cincinnati OH on Apr 4 with no further tracking information available. NewEgg's customer service is involved at this point.
