    2 out of 5 stars CONFLICTS CAUSE CRASHES.......2006-12-25

    I, like another reviewer, figured a problem wouldn't happen on my computer - WRONG! This card has many great features. I can't rate it at 0, but can't rate it at 5 either. After having it crash my system on numerous occasions while gaming on-line I did some googling. Creative seems to have a MAJOR flaw that only the best techies can correct through a lot of tweeking and changes being made to their system (something we average Joes can't do nor want to attempt by messing with internal settings). I bought this card with the intent of its' major use being for gaming purposes. When I originally installed it I was enthralled by the sound and other capabilities. I eventually got around to going on-line for gaming and ... CRASH! (Does not occur when playing games off-line). Was only then I found out that this seems to be an issue with many and Creative has no solution (at least no solution I could find if others comments at having to deal with Creative were any indication). If I had to do it over again, I wouldn't. I'd do more research and probably went with another manufacturer. If Creative doesn't come out with a fix of some kind I will chaulk it up to an expensive lesson learned and place Creative on my "Never Again S#!@ List." You've been warned!

    1 out of 5 stars I Am So Disgusted.......2003-09-18

    This is a tragedy. I've been a staunch supporter of Live! cards since they came out but their quality and support went down the drain. The Audigy 2 Platinum is not plug & play compliant. The end user shouldn't have to install the card and adjust the BIOS and hardware configuration to get the card to work. All this card gives is loud pops, skipping and computer lockups. A reinstallation of the operating system didn't help. There aren't any IRQ conflicts either! Tech support was useless, they don't have clue. The sound of the card is great but that means nothing if there is popping and skipping in the music.
    I wasted $165 and i will never buy another Creative product again.

    2 out of 5 stars Made by Satan!.......2003-09-02

    Well ok, after building my own "Dream System 4" I decided to go all out, even on the soundcard. Going by the specs with this card it was second to none. Going by the other customer reviews I read, it made me think twice about getting it judging by a lot of the problems that were addressed. But, I decided that "none of those will happen to me, it will work fine" WRONG. First off for a brief hardware setup. I installed it on a Athlon XP 2800 powered system with dual 80MB 7200 ATA 133 drives, 1 Gig RAM and an Nvidia GeForce4 Ti4800 8X AGP Video with the Logitech X-680 surround speakers.

    Now for the problems. That's all I had. All that system robbing software (reminds me of AOL), system crashes, hung installations, more system crashes, numerous calls to both Microsoft AND Creative only to get stuck editing my registry (always a treat) and downloading numerous "patches and updates", all being a waste of time. After downloading the "updated drivers" the problem only worsened. System crashes, hangs and even more system crashes.

    Sooooooo after 3 months of beating myself up (I REALLY Wanted this thing to work properly) I YANKED IT! Time to end the headaches! I went out and picked up the Turtle Beach Santa Cruz card and it has worked FLAWLESSLY!

    Maybe someday (if I don't throw it on Ebay first) when Creative actually gets creative with there software so it will work correctly, I will put it back in. But for now, it will sit in the box and collect dust!

    5 out of 5 stars WIRELESS.......2003-07-22

    I heard that wireless keyboads and mice are incompatible with the audigy 2. Is this BS?

    4 out of 5 stars my last review.......2003-06-05

    i looked around, and WinAmp CAN support the controller, although it takes a bit of working with it to get it going, but if you're familiar with sound blaster products, having to work on something to get it working should NOT be a new concept for you.
    anyways, yeah, it can run winamp, powerdvd, etc.
    again. i'd go with it again if i had the choice.
    happy shopping!

Optical zoom, 4 megapixels for amazing quality and clarity, instantaneous recording, one-touch-direct record and play, complete with high-capacity batteries and charger right out of the box, at no extra charge.

            Amazon.com Product Description

            The affordable, powerful Casio QV-R40 digital features a 4-megapixel resolution, 3x optical zoom lens, a fast 1-second start-up time, and a stylish, durable stainless steel body.

            Optics and Resolution
            The QV-R40 features a 4-megapixel resolution that captures vibrant colors and produces images up to 2304 x 1712 pixels for photo-quality prints up to 11 x 14 inches. Other resolution modes include 2240 x 1680, 1600 x 1200, 1280 x 960, and 640 x 480.

            The QV-R40 packs a 3-segment telescoping type 3x optical zoom lens with sliding mechanism that makes it possible to fit everything into an ultra-thin, stylish aluminum body. Optical zoom provides the means to produce beautiful, low-distortion close ups. Using digital zoom in combination with optical zoom allows a total zoom of 9.6x with optical 3x and digital 3.2x combined. The 8-24mm zoom lens is equivalent to 39-117mm in 35mm photography.

Images can be downloaded to either a Mac or PC via USB 1.1, which means the camera can be connected to any USB-based Windows Me/2000/XP and Mac OS 8.6 or later computer without installing any software.

            Power and Size
            The camera is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery (NP-30, included). It measures 3.5 x 2.4 x 1.3 inches and weighs 7.4 ounces (excluding battery).

            5 out of 5 stars great digital camera.......2007-08-14

            I breezed through the other reviews and i would have to agree on everything they had said. This casio camera is great. I had mine for four years and it was the most handy and easy to use camera. Although it was 4 megapixels, the picture quality is great and if you don't believe me send me a message and i can show you some of the thousands of pictures i've taken. I love how casio has the photo settings, great feature. Sadly mine doesn't work anymore, the metal casing of the camera is held in by tiny screws and i hadn't noticed i was missing 3 or 4 from the sides and the bottom. I've been looking for another once since i'm afraid to invest in a Casio exlm like my brother has incase i drop it, etc. But anyhow, this camera is a great find and unfortunately i haven't been able to find it anywhere!

            5 out of 5 stars Just what I needed!.......2005-04-07

            I bought this camera just before a family vacation in March 2004. I wanted to do more research before I went digital, but the pressure was on to act before the trip. I found the manual to be useful and the camera to be VERY easy to use.

            It takes great pictures and the small size is a plus.

            I'll look to Casio when I buy my next camera.

            5 out of 5 stars Excellent product.......2005-03-20

            I purchased the Casi QV-R40 digital camera two years ago, and I have not encountered any problems with it thus far. It has very nice picture quality, and ease of use. It comes with two rechargeable batteries and a battery charger, which are both very nice bonuses. The charged batteries will last a long time, but, I did buy a spare pair, in case one pair is charging, or one pair runs out of juice, simply put in the other pair. I would definitly reccomend, along with buying an extra set of batteries, to also buy a memory card that stores more pictures. I always use the highest quality of resolution, and normally take pictures one right after another. So, for me, the higher amount of pictures was a must. This is an excellent camera, and I would recomend the Casio QV-R40 to anyone looking for a digital camera.

            4 out of 5 stars A great camera for the price and for 5x7s.......2005-03-10

            I have been through a number of the under $250 digital cameras and this is the one I am most happy with. To see a comparison of all of them, see the bottom of the review.

            Pros of the qv-r40:

            -short lag time (1/2 a second-very good in cheaper digitals!)
            -great exposure in all lighting situations-great in low light
            -lots of neat features and settings (sepia, b and w, night time, etc.)
            -easy to maneuver through menus
            -small compact size
            -overall good photo quality (see cons)
            -durable and long lasting
            -great battery life (I keep it in the diaper bag and use it a few times a day. I charge every 2 or 3 weeks)
            -Good price (I got mine for $99 on ebay)

            Cons of the qv-r40:

            -the only con I have with this camera is that the photos are sometimes a bit (though not horribly) grainy and pixelated at 8x10 or larger. I have gotten better quality in this area (though not in exposure) with Canon cameras (see camera comparison at end of review)
            -the lack of sound on the video should be noted, but doesn't bother me...that's why I have a camcorder

            I have no other qualms with this camera. i really enjoy using it and am happy with it. At 4x6 and 5x7 the pictures are amazing! Bigger and they are still good, but not quite up to par for a 4 mp, but then again, neither is the price.


            CAMERA COMPARISONS (and what I paid)

            I have had the Casio qv-4000 ($116), the canon a300 ($85), and have used the canon s30 (sell for around $120) a lot because of a family member. The canon a300 had too long of a shutter lag which just got really annoying with my kids (3 seconds lag and they are gone). The s30 is faster on the lag (1/2 second), but has a lower battery life than the 1300 and the qv-r40 and is renowned (like many point and shoot canons) for getting errors where the lens doesn't pop out anymore. My QV-4000 had a very weak flash (though you could buy an extra flash attachment) and was bulky for a point and shoot but had great picture quality because it uses a canon lens. It was a great little camera. Picture quality was higher on the qv-4000 than on this one, but for indoor photography, you would definitely need the flash that can be purchased for it. It also took 4 batteries and still had a shorter battery life.

            5 out of 5 stars older tech, but great for the price.......2005-02-20

            i've had over 10 different digicams up to an 8 mp nikon for $1m. i was looking for an upgrade for my wife, and i was drawn to casio because my son has one of the real thin, large lcd exilim models that is very impressive. the r40 is discontinued, but readily available on the used/refurb market. other than the thicker body (still less than 1") and smaller lcd (good enough) this model is a real quality peice. metal, not plastic, 4mp, 3x zoom, lots of good features. takes sd cards, and has some built-in memory. takes real clear, good color pics which can easily be printed well to 8.5x11 and even to 11x14. you can get them used or refurbed in the $125-$150 range. my wife loves it, so i got another for my daughter, and another for myself when i don't want to lug around my primary nikon.

            5 out of 5 stars THE Point & Shoot Camera.......2000-08-13

            How many times have you had a kodak moment while your Carl Zeiss'ed Contax is stowed away in the dehumidified lexan box up on the top shelf of your closet? Get a handy point & shoot? But which one? The answer is the Canon Sure Shot Owl (or Prima AF-8 as its known in my neck of the woods). Biggest reason going for it is the SLR sized viewfinder. No squinting down lil' itty-bitty eyeholes.Then there's the AF on a fixed lens. No zoom. A definite plus to save indecision and lens twiddling. Also it comes with 35mm fixed. The desert island lens for most photogs. Lastly quality optics from not the makers of baby bottles at a price which you don't mind if you left the camera at the beach. I love mine.

            3 out of 5 stars Okay, but..........2000-07-10

            It is an okay camera, but I think the zoom action would make it better.

            4 out of 5 stars Pretty good but a tad bit expensive!.......2000-06-10

            I find it pretty strange that no-one has bought or reviewed this camera. Well as the sole purchaser of the camera, I thought that it was pretty decent buy, though maybe it might be too expensive. This camera has all the basics, excluding a zoom function.

            It takes standard film,

            has auto-focus, auto advance and rewind,

            A self-timer

            Date printing

            Red-eye reduction

            The larger and easier to use viewfinder

            and a neat little dial which gives the option of manually choosing to turn the flash on or letting that process be automatic.

            Overall, I'm pretty happy with this buy, though I have to admit, if it had a zoom function, I would have been extremely pleased, but as I'm no photo expert, this camera works for me!

            4 out of 5 stars Great for people with vision problems.......2000-08-12

            While I tend to prefer the Elph line myself, this camera fills a niche that's often overlooked. Anyone who's tried to look through a camera viewfinder and had to squint, or just gave up and tried to aim it looking over the top will appreciate this camera. The viewfinder is huge, and the camera is easy to use. I think both kids and the older population would appreciate this feature. Sadly, it doesn't use APS film, which comes in an easy-load canister and would be better for people with vision difficulties or arthritis, but I guess the people at the camera store could reload it for them when they brought in the roll to have it developed. All in all, a great product for a specific market.

            3 out of 5 stars So-so.......2000-06-16

            I bought the model which also has date printing(but is about $10 more). This camera is pretty decent, but I think that it is a bit expensive considering there is no zoom, or date printing. I definitely recommend Sureshot Owl Date camera model. Keep in mind that this camera is for the most basic of camera users. The larger viewfinder is definitely a neat idea. See my review for the date camera.

            5 out of 5 stars Canon Sure Shot Owl PF Date.......2002-12-04

            Purchased the camera at Sears on sale for [money]. Having read other people's reviews of this camera and other cameras that I own, I must be lucky or else I know what I'm doing. I've taken close up and landscape shots outdoors and I am very impressed with the sharpness of the 35mm/f3.8 all-glass lens on the OWL PF. I've had other cameras that cost more but the picture was not as sharp. I just do not have a problem with out-of-focus pictures. I think people stand too close to the subject they are photographing, hence a blurred picture and a washout from the flash. I use Fujifilm Superia 400, which I like because it has fine grain for 400 speed film. However, I have used the flash to a certain degree, I took a picture of some objects as well as people indoors at close range, 3-4 feet away and the flash did NOT wash out the picture. It has a simple autofocus system in it and I have found that it works just fine. I don't know how much abuse it would take, but for a "bang around" point and shoot camera I think this is worth the money. I particularly like the large viewfinder. I wear glasses at times and have no trouble taking pictures with this camera. Also, it has midroll rewind which is nice because I'm not one to "finish out a roll."

            Strengths:
            -- Large viewfinder.
            -- Sharp images.
            -- ALL GLASS LENS.
            -- Flash cancel and fill flash.
            -- Seems sturdy. (For plastic.)

            Weaknesses:
            -- Only accepts ISO 100, 200, 400 film.
            -- Manual specifically says you can't use
            slide film in it. (We'll see.)

            1 out of 5 stars Too much flash.......2002-07-03

            I found the flash to be too bright, and many photos were out of focus. The camera will be added to the garage sale pile this summer.

            1 out of 5 stars flash bright as the sun.......2001-12-24

            Do not get this camera!

            I have been a loyal canon fan for a long time. I bought this camera to replace my previous SureShot that had been reliable for ten years. My hopes were high, but I had this camera for only three months before it broke. During the three months it was working, I was disappointed over and over by the SUPER OWL flash which was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO bright it completely washed out my pictures. The auto focus was unreliable. And now the camera has stopped working altogether: it complains that it needs new battery, but does not respond to replacement batteries.

            The quality of this camera fell far below my expectations.
            I would warn anyone away from buying it =(

            4 out of 5 stars Good for Wildlife Photography.......2001-09-05

            These cameras are really good for nighttime wildlife photography, if you can solder in a connection to a motion detector. They are quite useful for this purpose.
