I enjoy using the Pop9. Superb fun at parties and such; but they do tend to break easily. Consider the camera more as a expensive throw-away novelty item you will not be disappointed.

I am very glad I bought this scale as it removes any doubt from my mind what my weight is doing. The one I have has the step-on feature and workes every time. Received scale on time if not early.Would reccomend this highly for purchase.

I have been in data communications for 25 years, 10 years working on IP stuff. Routers, switches that sort of thing. If you are not IP literate I would strongly suggest looking for a trained professional, or a precocious 13 year old to help you through the installation. It’s not that installation is that difficult, but terminology will come to play. DNS, MAC Address, Net Mask, etc.. This is the alphabet soup that can make your eyes glaze, and cause you to go prematurely gray.
As for the product concept I can only say that since it does exactly what I imagined we needed after my wife and I had our home broken into. It has a motion detector. It takes a picture when there is detected movement. Then emails, or FTP’s it (your choice) to you. It must be brilliant. It is left to you the homeowner to decide if the dog got into the living room, or if there is something more nefarious afoot. You can also play voyeuer on hired help and such, or make sure the kids arent having a keger while you have dinner out. (As if they arent smart enough to put a photograph of the empty living room in front of the camera.)
My real feelings for the product come from my experience with Panasonic tech support. I told the rep Richard Morgan I’d complement him. So there I did. Did I need help with the install? Of course not! But I did have a question regards SMTP service that dumbo carrier Verizon could not help with. Not ony was Verizon clueless they were surly about it.
The best thing I can say about the product is that we need three more cameras. Despite the price they will all be the Panasonics.
Panasonic Wireless Network Camera

Got one of these as a gift. My last ipod was a Shuffle and I didn’t see the use for anything more fancy than that. After playing with this for just a bit, was glad to have gotten it. The app store lets you turn this from a basic mp3 player to just about anything. Has some nice “workout” apps that integrate with the treadmill I use and have helped me to keep in shape.

As far as a music player, it has a TON of space and good battery life. Nice for those cross-country flights.

Arecont AV3105 Network camera

Just got it – opened the box and there were the books I had ordered yesterday. WOW! The kids are fighting over it and screaming for their own. I’ll update later, but my initial, out of the box response is — WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG? Also got the M-Edge Leather case for it – feels and smells like a Dooney & Bourke!

I feel this version is much harder for me to navigate and find the features I want to use. But I do not use it that often to make it a big issue.

Great purchase for the price. Cables work fine with everything. No need to buy monster cables at all anymore!

review on canon powershot a1100is. I like the picture quality, which is excellent for this point and shoot class camera. The first test of this camera was taking pictures of flowers (delia) at the Golden Gate Park in San Fancisco, including a sunny day and a cloudy day. For both days, almost all pictures are in focus. Flowers, leaves, and, yes, even honey bees all look so lively, sharp, and excellent color reproduction. I would highly recomment this camera to anyone who is looking for one in the point and shoot class.

Great lens for the price. This is one of Canon’s cheapest lens. The lens mount is plastic, the AF is slow, the front element rotates and extends when focusing, camera lense is somewhat soft at the long end, and contrast is OK to good.

Note the part about front element extending. This means that when packing the lens away, you will most likely need to switch to MF and then turn the focusing ring to retract the lens to the most compact size.

So why 4 stars?

Low price, light weight makes it a great lens to bring on a casual trip when you need telephoto occasionally. Has IS (which works, mostly) and decent magnification (0.31x at full zoom). Images are reasonably sharp.

I wouldn’t bring this lens (except as a backup) if I’m going on a safari. But at this price, I wouldn’t hesitate getting one just for occasional telephoto in good light.
