Excellent foolproof camera.......2002-10-29

This camera is very easy to operate and produces consistently high quality results. Good viewfinder...simple controls...easy loading.

I thought the photos would be sharper.......2002-08-03

It's a beautifully made little camera but it just hasn't produced very sharp photos so far. I wanted a film camera since I was tired of the images I was getting out of my Nikon 950 (digital = fuzzy pictures faster). The colors from the Sureshot76 are excellent and it's just so darn cute I have a hard time saying anything critical about it, but looking at images I'd taken with an old, cheap 35mm camera with an old, cheap 55mm lens I'd rather drag around a "real" camera than have to settle for images that really look as if they'd been taken with a disposable camera. But for a grandma-point-and-shoot camera it's dandy, I'll give it to my wife, it's her speed.

Worked well for 1 year........2002-02-03

My wife and I bought this camera because it was simple to use and picture quality was good. That was until it stopped working properly. Now the zoom sticks, sometimes the lense will not close at all and the object in the viewfinder will not zoom as the lense does. It was purchaes in January 2001 and the warranty is now up. Not Happy!

A correction.......2001-08-02

I wrote a lengthy review of this camera recently and need to correct an error.

In my earlier review, I said that the green LED focus indicator light would flash at four times per second under low-light conditions.

I meant to say that it is actually the proximity detector. The minimum shooting distance for the lens is 2/3 of a meter, about two feet, so this is as close as you can get. If you're closer than that, the light will flash at you.

The light also flashes much faster, at 16 times per second, as a camera shake warning. It also lights when autofocus has been achieved, and when the flash is fully recharged. So considering this is a four-function indicator, this is a pretty hard-working little LED!

The other thing I wasn't able to determine in my last review is whether the camera had passive or active autofocus. The camera does have active autofocus, which uses an infrared beam.

Anyway, I have already run the free roll of film I got with the camera thru it and the photos are nice and sharp. This looks to be an excellent little point and shoot to take with you anywhere.

Good little point and shoot.......2001-07-31

I wrote a previous review of this camera, but I intended to give it a 5-star rating instead of 4 stars, so I wanted to correct that here.

This camera was one of the possible gift choices for my 10-year anniversary gift at my company. So I decided to give it a try. The only other small point and shoot camera I have is a Fuji Tiara 1000, which has a fixed lens and is APS format, whereas this camera is a 2X 38-76mm lens and is 35 mm.

I got a free roll of ASA 100 Kodak Gold (12 frames) film so I ran it through the camera over the weekend, and was pleased with the results.

The camera's short zoom lens runs from F4.2-F7.8, and has a maximum 1/500th of a sec. shutter speed, pretty standard for a point and shoot camera in the $100-$200 range. You can find some that are 1/700th, but not too many. The little Contax point and shoots go up to at least 1/1000th of a sec., and my Rollei QZ35W has an amazing 1/8000th of a second maximum shutter speed, but this camera is ten times as expensive as your typical point and shoot model and weighs almost 2 pounds, so it's a tank, and the Contax cameras, although not as high as the Rollei, are still pretty pricey.

But getting back to the Canon Sureshot. The photos look good and are very sharp. I tried shooting photos under bright sunlight with a very contrasty subject, and also the next day it was quite overcast and so I took somemore photos then too. Both sets of prints look nice and sharp. I was a little worried about the ASA 100 film shooting on a foggy day. I suspect the shutter speed wasn't more than 1/60th of a second, but I concentrated on trying to minimize camera shake when I took the shots, since I wanted to test the sharpness of the lens.

Anyway, it looks like I managed it and the photos looked good.

Another nice thing the camera has is a multi-function green LED focus indicator light. But it also does 2 other cool things. It flashes at 12 times per second when it thinks camera shake might be a problem, and at 4 times per second when the light is too low. I suspect the shake indicator actually is telling you about a slow shutter speed that might be affected by camera shake, rather than actively detecting any hand movement, such as video camcorders are able to do, and cancel it out.

The autofocus system is able to handle situations where you have subjects or people in the foreground but the focal frame of the camera is actually centered on the background, much further away. Another nice feature. I was not able to determine from the manual whether it has active or passive autofocus, however. It's better to have passive autofocus. Active autofocus uses an infrared beam, and this can cause problems when trying to shoot thru the window of a car. The infrared beam will bounce off the glass and screw up the focus, unless there is a setting to disable it.

With active autofocus the camera is usually sensitive to vertical lines. However, this can sometimes cause a problem with scenes that lack strong verticals. It would be nice to know what the Sureshot has but the manual just says it has AiAF--artificially intelligent autofocus.

So far this looks to be a good little camera at an attractive price. About the only downside to it is that it isn't as small as some of the more compact point and shoots; however, these usually cost much more money, such as the Minolta 125 Freedom Zoom, which is a nice camera but is much more expensive. Also, many people will perhaps want a longer zoom capability around 3X or so, but I actually prefer not to have anything that extreme because there are too many optical comprises that have to be made in terms of the sharpness of the lens and other optical problems. I understand that some of the newer point and shoot zoom models, such as the new Nikon 125 and the Minolta 125 Freedom Zoom, are incorporating asperical plastic elements, which have done a lot to address this issue, but not having tested them myself yet, I'll stick to the 2X-3X range for now.

One final thing to consider with point and shoots with datebacks like this one, is that many of them will default the dateback feature back to on when you change the film. Since I've only run the one test roll thru so far I don't know how this particular camera will respond, but probably most of them will do that. So remember to check every time you change the roll if it does. If it doesn't, you have one of the few that don't and you're home free.

Also, since it prints the time and date on the lower right corner in a yellowish font, this means you need to be careful about photographing scenes with strong yellow colors in this area, since it may obscure the dateback "imprint."

The camera comes with a better than average camera bag with a main compartment more than big enough for the camera itself, and a smaller external pocket big enough to hold a couple of extra rolls of film. Altogether a nice little camera, especially considering in my case it was free!

Excellent value..........2007-08-20

I've tried other name brands, and all failed on me. I bought a Belkin 3 years ago and it's still going strong. I think I've only had to reset it twice! So I bought another one (this one), and had a connection in just a few minutes. This 2nd one is WEP free for when my friends come over.

I found an old Fast Ethernet Switcher hub in my junk box and it works great sending signals from my cable modem to my 2 side-by-side Belkin routers, one secured and one unsecured. Everything works great - no interference issues, just fast and clean connections. I log onto the secured router, and my friends log onto the unsecured router. Everybody's happy!

I highly recommend this product.

Good deal and Price.......2007-07-10

The Router is working great with VISTA! I was impressed with how fast the shipping was, it only took 3 days to get it.

Does what its supposed to...........2007-04-16

After reading some of the horror stories about setting up Belkin wireless routers, I hesitantly purchased this model one month ago. So far, so good. Set up was a snap, and thus far the router has performed excellently. No reboots, no dropped lines, no hesitation, or anything like that. I use it upwards of 9 - 10 hours a day and would recommend it to anyone who asked me.

Great Router.......2007-02-11

Plug and play! Works great. Easy to set up for first time user(took me 15 minutes). Works perfect on my sons Mac with airport and my daughters PC notebook with USB adapter anywhere in the house. Mine is the 1 antenna model.

rock solid router.......2006-12-28

The discrepancies between reviews depends on what version you get. I have a v1000 of this router with two antennas, and it is rock solid. I've been running it almost 24/7 for almost 2 years and I never had to reboot it once! It's not as fast as a buffalo, but blows away my linksys (which needs a reboot every 3-4 weeks!). From the current reviews, it looks like Belkin messed with a good thing.

Lost money on this one .......2006-06-20

I bought this BenQ product and have used it for only few months. It was working good and all of a sudden it started not recognising the discs. I found this is a very unreliable product and there is not too much of help also is offered.

It is always a pain to go behind the warranty or return these. I gave up on small companies like this and bought an NEC one. It is not worth the save of money.

Superb Quality.......2006-05-11

I've had this burner since last April. I havent used this drive since November and today it suddenly died on me. This is the second drive I've gotten from Amazon, both which came with the seal broken. I dont know if Amazon was recycling returned drives back into market, but both of mine came with broken seals. If Benq replaces it since it still under warrenty, I'm Ebaying this thing and going with the NEC drive.

Review for DW1640 -- the next one after the 1620.......2006-01-05

Drive died after 2 months of use. I called Benq and waited on hold for 30 mins, got hold of a rep, who cheerfully tells me these drives "die all the time". They refused to ship me a replacement until I send out the old one.

I shipped it out and 3 weeks now, no word from Benq. So I call them again (waited again for 30 mins, no kidding) and it turns out their warehouse was closed for 3 weeks during Christmas. So they haven't even opened the package! This is the first I've heard of a business that stayed closed for this long ignoring their customers.

I asked for a refund and they don't do that so I'm stuck waiting for a drive that may die again 2 months down the road.

I've have a NEC drive that has worked just fine for over a year of daily burning. I'm going to eBay the Benq drive whenever I get it back and get a NEC or Plextor instead.

PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM BENQ!

I bought this DVD burner a few weeks ago. Used nero to burn CD/DVDs.

After 12 DVDs it stopped burning, giving the same failure error message. "Session Fixation Error". It then opens up with a now ruined DVD. A quick Google search revealed that I wasn't the only one with a BenQ1620 with this error. I used BenQ's support email form and still have not heard back. I upgraded the firmware, cleaned the lens, no luck. When any dvd is loaded now, it will only read it half the time. It still burns CDs, and reads data cds and audio cds.
Not reccomended unless you like wasting time and turning blank DVDs into trash.

Very compact, installs easily, works like a charm.

Initially a great gadget for the transfer of you digital photos. However, I recently upgraded my operating system; going from WIN2000 to the ultimate in Multi-media XP! I really expected that the ZIO was compatable with XP, as the drivers for XP are loaded onto the installation CD. However, the installation driver on the CD are not compatible with XP???
