Most Favorable Review

Love this camera

FUJIFILM FinePix 2D/3D 10MP Digital Camera - W3
FUJIFILM FinePix 2D/3D 10MP Digital Camera - W3

Pros: Point and Shoot Excellent 3D Good number of Presets Screen shows 3D immediately Shutter Synchronization perfect, catches falling drops of water perfectly Multiple 2D or 3D modes Gret depth of field 3X Optical Zoom Small, pocket sized Lens protector slides over both lenses at same time

Cons: Point and Shoot, so lacks DSLR controls Must allow BOTH lenses to focus, sometimes, left is a bit slower and out of focus (not often, but happens when in a hurry) Fuji software lacks features, try free Stereo Photo Maker instead. Can be slow to save files to memory. Must be patient Rapid fire mode automatically reduces resolution.

Overall Review: My counter is up to over 6500 pictures. Shoots flawlessly. My composition often needs help, but the camera does well. Watch scenic backgrounds. Often the sky is blown out when the land is exposed properly. All point and shoots tend to do this.

Good USB Drives - fantastic price

Kingston DataTraveler SE8 16GB USB Flash Drive DTSE8/16GB
Kingston DataTraveler SE8 16GB USB Flash Drive DTSE8/16GB

Pros: 16 gig thumb drives. USB 2.0, work well. Cheap storage

Cons: None

Overall Review: Fantastic price, good drives. Gave it 5 eggs, just felt right.

Excellent antenna

Rosewill RMS-DA5600 - Amplified Digital / UHF / VHF HDTV Antenna - Indoor / Outdoor with FM Trap Filter - 30 Miles Range
Rosewill RMS-DA5600 - Amplified Digital / UHF / VHF HDTV Antenna - Indoor / Outdoor with FM Trap Filter - 30 Miles Range

Pros: Small, compact, amplified, easy setup, works well in a metro area. I have line of sight to the transmitters some 10 miles away or so. This antenna works incredibly well with excellent quality picture. Will dump cable TV shortly and replace with over the air. Receives 48 channels in the Salt Lake area. You may want to run your channels several times to ensure all are picked up by your TV. Multiple mounting options, comes with all parts.

Cons: None really.

Overall Review: Wouldn't change anything. Small, compact, and picks up all local stations with no issues. Picture quality is exceptional,

Hideous product and support

Altec Lansing MP450 Octiv Stage Speaker and Charging Dock
Altec Lansing MP450 Octiv Stage Speaker and Charging Dock

Pros: None - doesn't work

Cons: Won't play audio. Lansing support doesn't exist. Go elsewhere. Lansing support is non-existant. 800 number only available three days a week, and all browser links to customer service broken. They don't care. They don't want to know. Facebook has legions of people complaining about poor customer service. If you want something that has support, go elsewhere.

Overall Review: Altec Lansing used to be a good company. I guess all go downhill when they get arrogant. NewEgg should stop carrying their products, refurbs included as Altec won't support or honor their warranties.

Windows 7 drivers finally available

KWorld UB435-Q USB ATSC TV Stick
KWorld UB435-Q USB ATSC TV Stick

Pros: WIndows 7 drivers finally available. Bought it 6 months ago, Windows 7 drivers only available last month. Been a brick up till the drivers available but works extremely well now! I can move from machine to machine as needed instead of my old internal card that didn't migrate to 7.

Cons: The Total Media software that ships with it is limiting and a bit unstable, the UB-435 doesn't work well with Windows Media center as Media center only picks up a few channels.

Overall Review: Overall works well, once I installed Windows 7 drivers. Wish it worked better with Media center, but it doesn't. Media center is vastly superior to TotalMedia.
