5 out of 5 stars Works pretty well. Good for the price........2005-04-09

I have used it for quite a while. The answering machine works pretty well. With caller id and call waiting feautres it's pretty good buy for a low price.

2 out of 5 stars Lousy Sound Quality.......2004-02-29

I bought this phone 2 weeks ago at wallyworld...it has nice features and is pretty easy to figure out how to set it up, but the sound quality is terrible..sounds very fuzzy ...people i talk to say it sounds real good at their end...but at my end i couldnt make out what they were saying....needless to say...." back it goes "

2 out of 5 stars Its just ok.......2003-07-15

There is alot of background noise even when I switch channels. It would be ok for a back up phone if needed. I had a different Vtech phone for many years until I had to finally replace it. I should have got the same one. Don't waste your money, get a better grade of phone.

5 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT MINI-MACHINE.......2003-03-21

WHY I SAY THAT IT IS EXCELLENCT MINI-MACHINE? BECAUSE IT IS.
IT HAS ALL THE REQUIRED FEATURES...e.g. DIGITAL ANSWERING WITH 3 MAIL BOXES DEVICE, CALLER ID, ENOUGH CLEARITY IN VOICE AMONG THE 900 MHZ PHONES AND FOR THIS PRICE, EXCELLENT DESIGN, WALL MOUNTING, HANDS FREE OPTION WITH THE EAR PHONE...IN SHORT COOL PHONE.

1 out of 5 stars Mediocre, but functional.......2003-01-21

I initially went to purchase an answering machine but when I went to a store this unit was the same price so i purchased this instead. The phone and the machine are very simple to use. But the quality of this item is pretty poor. It does what it's supposed to do, but the sound quality of both the machine and phone isn't wonderful. And the product itself just looks cheaply made. You basically get what you pay for in this instance.

                        Product Description

                        Say you are running two mixers at once perhaps one for the monitor system and one for the main PA (or one for a broadcast feed and one for the PA). If a performer wants his/her mic split into a powered monitor and the PA, you will need the ability to split the signal from the source so that the signal can go both ways. It is also important that the output of the source encounters the right impedance. For example, if you simply used a Y adapter, signal strength and quality would be lost. For this reason, the SplitCOM professional splitter has a built-in transformer. Since you may be splitting the balanced output of an instrument amp or preamp, another consideration is "hum" caused by a ground loop. The SplitCOM splitter box also features a ground lift switch to reduce that problem.

                        Product Description

                        If it's possible to do in digital photography, it's possible to do with the PowerShot S30. Packing 3.2 million pixels and a range of features, this versatile camera fulfils any requirement. A dedicated all-rounder, the camera is just as at home indoors as it is outdoors, in brilliant sunshine or low-level light. Special advanced technology means you'll still get high-quality images whatever the conditions. And once you have that perfect image, printing it couldn't be simpler. Forget the PC, plug your PowerShot S30 directly into the Canon CP-10 Card Photo Printer or the Bubble Jet S820D and enjoy brilliant color prints at the touch of a few buttons. Other features include the My-Camera function - customize your PowerShot S30 with unique sounds and images to make it truly your own.

                        Amazon.com Review

                        Canon's 3-megapixel S30 hits the marketing sweet spot between features and ease of use, making it ideal for a wide range of photographers. It offers point-and-shoot simplicity while still providing advanced settings for more experienced photographers. Features like video capture, stitched panoramas, and continuous shooting offer a huge bonus in terms of fun and versatility for photographers at all levels of experience.

                        Getting started with the S30 couldn't have been simpler. We just slid open the lens cover and started shooting. Setting the camera to automatic mode, we were able to take vivid photos with accurate colors and outstanding detail. The 3x optical zoom--10x if you factor in the digital enhancement--made all the difference in our outdoor photos, letting us frame our shots perfectly.

                        A quick look at the options dial of the S30 shows that its capabilities extend well beyond quick snapshots. Even novices can take advantage of the camera's video mode, which can capture short videos. Though nowhere near camcorder quality, these videos are perfect for putting on a Web page or sending via e-mail, and the built-in microphone records sound for videos or notations on individual photos.

                        A bit more complicated is the photo-stitch mode, which lets you take panorama photos by lining up multiple pictures to cover vast areas and then stitching them together into a grand panorama on your PC. The handy continuous-photo mode enables you to shoot up to three images per second, ideal for capturing sporting events or wildlife.

                        The camera comes with only a 16 MB CompactFlash card, and you'll definitely want to purchase an additional memory card as a 16 MB card only holds approximately 16 3-megapixel images. Beyond that quibble, there's not much fault to be found with the Canon S30. It combines the ease-of-use novices require with the advanced features serious photographers expect.

                        Amazon.com Product Description

                        Canon's S30 and S40 cameras fill a gap in the company's digital lineup. Nestled between the ultra-tiny Elph models and the feature-packed PowerShot G and Pro models, the S30 and S40 combine most of the portability of the former with nearly every advanced feature of the latter.

                        With the exception of their CCD sensors (the S30 is a 3-megapixel model, while the S40 is 4-megapixel), the cameras are essentially identical. Each features a brushed aluminum body with a sliding clamshell lens cover, a 3x optical zoom Canon lens, and a 1.8-inch LCD on the back of the camera for previewing and reviewing shots.

                        For beginners, the cameras are point-and-shoot simple. Just twist the dial to Auto and start snapping pictures. For more experienced photographers, both models include aperture priority, shutter priority, and full manual modes, plus manual focus, exposure compensation, slow-sync flash, spot metering, and adjustable ISO (from 50 to 400 on the S40, and 50 to 800 on the S30).

                        Movie mode lets you capture video clips with sound. At 320 x 240 or 160 x 120 pixels, the movies aren't camcorder quality, but they're fun and convenient, and they're perfect as e-mail attachments. The cameras also include an unusual voice-memo feature, which lets you record up to 60 seconds of audio with each image.

                        To provide maximum battery life in the smallest possible space, the cameras use a proprietary lithium-ion battery (both the battery and a charger are included). The battery charges quickly and holds a reasonably long charge, but if you're planning to use the camera for extended outings, a spare NB-2L battery is a good idea. A larger-capacity memory card is also advisable if you want to shoot more than a dozen photos at a time or if you decide to really take advantage of the Movie mode. The cameras use Type I or Type II CompactFlash cards, including the Microdrive. To print your photos at home, the S30 and S40 connect directly to Canon's CP-10 and S820D printers for easy printing--you don't even need a computer.

                        If you're looking for a camera with the sleek, compact style of a point-and-shoot with the extensive manual controls of an advanced amateur camera, the S30 and S40 are both great choices.

                        3 out of 5 stars Very good for the price these days.......2006-05-24

                        I've had my camera for about 5 years now, I think it takes great pictures overall. Redeye is a problem I've noticed like some of the other owners, even if you have redeye reduction turned on it's still a problem. Aside from the redeye problem with flash, it takes incredible daylight photos. Bright, colorful, amazingly clear with alot of nice manual modes and auto mode is also very good. Very durable also, I've dropped my camera many times and it keeps on working.

                        5 out of 5 stars Great!! perfect.......2006-05-09

                        I have been using it for 5 years now. never had any problem... Night results are not very very good though, you just need to keep camera still if you want to get them perfect.


                        3 out of 5 stars Nice but not so perfect.......2005-06-30

                        My S30 did all it was expected to do as far as imaging resolution and photo quality was concerned.
                        Downside issues with this camera:
                        LCD screen - Poor to zero visibility. OK for auto shooting but useless for creative photography,
                        Auto focus and close-up focus did not work 100% of the time. Continuous focus was hit & miss.
                        Battery life inadequate - 20 mins to 1/2 hr at best
                        Camera was returned to Canon during Warranty but none of the above issues were resolved.
                        Sold the camera after 18 months of serious useage

                        2 out of 5 stars Red Eye is a Problem.......2005-05-31

                        This was an OK camera but red-eye was a problem from Day 1. Also had trouble taking good night pictures. The 4 Star rating here is WAY too high for this camera. See the most recent reviews.

                        2 out of 5 stars Prone to failure after the warrentee expires........2005-03-27

                        I agree with the reviews by Simplicissimus & "curious", it was a great camera until it died. Mine had a critical failure just over one month past the warrentee running out. I paid $150 to have it "repaired." What I got back was a refurb with a different serial number. That lasted less than a year and half before it died. Given the price when I bought it, this camera has already cost me close to $800. The repair price that Canon charges will buy a new camera of the same functionality, with full warrentee. They offer an "upgrade" to a newer model, for $220, but that is a refurb with only a six month warrentee. I would prefer that Canon built a quality product that would last at least two years. I would settle for them at least standing behind their products when they die under normal use.
