Amazon.com Review

Ezonics has combined the worlds of PC video camera and digital still camera with their EZDual. Because it uses USB connections, installation proved simple, although installing the myriad software titles bundled with the camera took a while.

As a PC video camera, the EZDual worked well. Although the first time we video conferenced our frames-per-second rate stayed very low (less than 5 fps), in subsequent uses, the EZDual corrected this, and we had a much more useable 20+ fps. The EZDual worked flawlessly with Microsoft's NetMeeting, allowing us to see and chat with friends and family around the country.

As a still camera, the EZDual offers a lot of nice touches. It can hold up to 20 pictures in its memory at fairly high resolution. It also offers a screw port for mounting on a tripod, a 10-second delay to let you view your own pictures on the camera, and an automatic power-down to save battery life. At only 320,000 pixels, it's not as high quality as some of the other digital cameras on the market, but it gets the job done.

Using a USB connection, it was easy to unplug the camera and take it on the road without any hassles. Once we returned, we simply plugged the camera back in and downloaded our pictures. From there, we had the option of recording and sending video e-mails, video conferencing, and editing our still pictures into photo albums, thanks to the 10 included software titles.

Overall, we were impressed with the EZDual, although the cable connecting our PC's USB port to the camera was a bit short, and there was no monitor stand to hold it in place for videoconferencing (we found the EZDual slipped off the top of a curved monitor). But for the price, the EZDual gives you some good features--if not the best--of both PC video and digital still cameras. --J. Curtis

Pros:

Easy installation
Very portable
Still and digital camera options

Cons:

Short cable
Didn't see 30 fps when used as video camera
Camera slides off top of curved monitors

Pretty cool.......2003-05-19

Inexpensive dual-function camera. Pretty cool when you don't need fancy digital cameras. Doesn't look too stylish, but in person it looks better.

bad service from ezonics.......2002-04-03

I have a new ezonics camera and i cant get it to work with my new computer. I think the problem is with windows xp and the service from ezonics has been very poor to get the problem resolved.

Don't waste your time or money!.......2001-06-16

I first saw a demonstration of this camera on a home-shopping channel. The video image that was shown on the camera was pretty clear and the photo was pretty good as well. I read the reviews on this sight and saw that feelings were mixed on the quality of this camera. I decided to give it a chance since I had seen a "live" demonstration of this camera's abilites and there were some reviews that looked promising. Big mistake! I realize that this is very inexpensive for a product that delivers both a still camera and live video but I feel that with this model "you get what you pay for." Not very much! The still pictures were out of focus and the color was not good at all. The video was extremely blurry and again, the color was bad. I had high hopes for getting a bargain and getting decent quality. No luck! I mainly wanted to use this to take photos of items for auction--this did not have anywhere near the quality that could be used for decent pictures. I bought a Sony Mavica instead. It costs a lot more, but boy do the pictures look clear!

After using for a month........2001-04-21

Using for a month has shown many good qualities and a few bad ones. First the bad ones. The rate is slower than it shows. When larger resolution is used movement along with voice are slower ,and lag behind. The still pics are good. As with all cameras in this price range, When enlarged, quality suffers. But the overall quality looks good to me. If it were in a price range of several hundred dollars it would be disturbing. The overall quality performance are very acceptable to me.The software programs that come with it are to say the least, most satisfactory. I have used a logitech video camera with it's programs, and all functions perfectly. As neither are the "Top of the line" cameras. I would recommend this camera to all who would like a useful and handy camera. For the price,it will be very hard to find another with it's features and software.To be able to use as a VIDEO WEB CAMERA,and also a DETACHABLE STILL CAMERA, ALL IN ONE, is a very hard offer to refuse.

Not what I expected at all!!!.......2001-03-22

I thought the Ezonics EZDual Cam was going to be a great product, but it was not what I expected. The installing of the drivers and software was pretty easy. The software it brought for editing pictures is not very user-friendly and doesn't run very smoothly. I was not happy with the quality of the photos it took nor the quality of the video. The video had a huge delay, you could look at the camera and back at your monitor and you would still be looking at yourself. Plus, every movement is blurred. Forget about moving around!!! As for using it as a camera, not good at all. Again,, blurred!! Whatever you are taking a picture of better be super still and you better put the camera on a tripod because any little movement and the picture comes out blurred. I mainly wanted the camera to take pictures to email to my family, but as bad as the pictures come out, its best to use a regular camera and just scan them.. Very cheap quality!!

Product Description

Motorola's new LS350 is designed for the first-time pager user who wants an entry-level "hip" pager to stay in touch with friends and family. This numeric pager, available with FLEX technology, offers many enhanced features, including: 30 message slots; the ability to save messages when changing the battery; a smart alarm; time and date on standby; selective erase; and three musical alerts. In addition, LS350 has silent vibration, message timestamping, the ability to lock messages and an easy-to-read backlit display.The pager offers users the latest and most efficient technology affording extended battery life and page reliability. It also provides added convenience since it also acts as a watch and calendar. Message Timestamping helps you prioritize your messages by knowing exactly what time they were received. You can set your alarm once, daily or weekly as an event reminder. This feature is great for organizing a busy schedule. Message Lock locks important messages so they will not be accidentally erased. Keep your memory slots organized by easily erasing all unlocked messages when you no longer need to save them. Don't accidentally erase important messages by turning off your pager - the messages are retained when the pager is off. Low Battery Indicator notifies you that your battery is getting low and needs to be replaced - helping to ensure that you don't miss any messages. Reminder Alert reminds you when you have not reviewed your messages. Duplicate Messages are stored in the same memory slot as original message - saving memory space for new messages. The latest timestamp is used and a Duplicate prompt is displayed when the message is read. Removable Belt clip allows you to wear your pager with the clip out, change clip colors, or take the clip off and slip it easily into your pocket or purse.

Cross between a workhorse and a stallion!.......2004-07-21

This machine has been the centerpiece of my wife's home-based legal practice for many months, and it has also been my main printer, as well as that of my children. Printing, FAXing, scanning, OCR, and copying have all worked flawlessly, including from the document feeder---I think we have had one paper jam out of thousands of uses.

By virtue of its network card, I have it plugged directly into our Netgear wireless router, and that is what makes it so easy for the whole family to use it. [Of course, even without a network card it could be shared, but it would then be at the mercy of the particular computer it was plugged into.]

I have used the Netgear router's capabilities to assign the 8820DN a fixed IP address, making it easy to configure the multifunction from any of the home computers merely by typing this IP into a web-browser, on either a PC or a Mac.

I could not recommend this machine more strongly.

Surprised beyond expectations.......2004-01-21

I run a SOHO real estate appraisal firm out of my home. My wife does help with some basic clerical work, and is pretty illiterate with computers and peripherals. This MFC does it all very well, and can save toner via smart settings. The copy and print images are impressive, compared to my older Xerox XD 100. Also, the USB connection does not bog down my 'puter, like most serial printers. The fax and scan with the ADF are very impressive. Per recipient, I faxed several pages through the ADF at regular resolution, and she said they came out perfectly. Had to do that on Photo resolution before on the old fax. So, Yes, I do love this machine so far. No problems at all.Great stand alone multi machine, with small footprint and all the features a small office will need. Plus, toner and drum replacements are cost effective, unlike most others. Check Google for those prices.

The best laser, printer, fax, copier available for the money.......2003-11-13

I purchased the Brother MFC-8820DN to replace my existing MFC-9700. The principal reason I bought the 8820DN was because of its network scanning features, which allow you to use this machine to scan to any computer on your network. Aside from that, and duplex printing, the 8820DN does everything that the 9700 did, in a better looking package, and without the hassle of installing the network card (which is included in the 8820DN and optional on the 9700).

The 8820DN acts as a printer, fax, copier, and scanner, and it performs each of these tasks superbly. Although I have a commmercial grade copier, I do not hesitate to use the Brother when speed is not an issue because the copy quality is excellent. Even better, it has an included double-sided print capability (which I didn't care about when I bought it, but which I use all the time now). The copier can also enlarge, reduce, and make posters (by enlarging your document onto four separate sheets of paper).

The best part about this machine is its included network board, which allows you to print from and scan to any machine on your local area network and to manage all of the printer settings via a web-browser. You can also fax from any machine on your network and have the printer automatically e-mail you any faxes that you receive, which is great for keeping in touch even when you are out of the office. The machine can also receive e-mails on its own e-mail account which it can then print or forward to other machines. It can even notify you by e-mail when it needs more toner or a new drum unit.

The neat thing about Brother MFC products is that when they integrate multiple devices like a network board and fax, Brother thinks of everything you could possibly do and makes it available. For instance, this device can use the internet as a tranport mechanism to bridge two different MFC's together, so that you can send faxes partially or completely over the internet. This would be useful if I had an office in London and another in California, and I wanted to fax overseas without paying toll charges by using the internet as a transport mechanism. I don't have an office in London, and thus, don't use this and about half the features. My point here is that the printer will do just about everything you could possibly think of doing with a printer/fax/copier/scanner that is network connected, and it does it very, very well.
