GREAT GIFT.......2007-01-10

I BOUGHT THIS AS A GIFT FOR MY HUSBAND, WHO IS HARD TO BUY FOR AND HE REALLY LIKES IT SO I WOULD DEFINETELY BUY IT AGAIN. I USE IT AS WELL. IT HAS REALLY COME IN HANDY MANY TIMES. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

hp has consistantly had the worst software ever..........2006-04-06

...and this scanners software is no exception. I do graphic design for a print shop and I needed to replace my ancient and worn out epson expression 800. The specs for the ScanJet 4070 looked good so i gave it a shot.

dont get me wrong, the scan quality is ok, but this thing is SOOOO SLOW!! The first scan of the day every day takes about 3 or 4 minutes just for the scanner to warm up! then it takes another couple minutes to actually scan the art (longer for higher res scans). When you're trying to manage about 7 or 8 jobs at once and customers want their prints and proofs right away, that is COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE!! HP wont do anything about it either because they're so huge and make so much money, the DONT CARE about what we think. I've called and complained more than once. But the speed of the scanner isnt even the worst part...

The software is crap. It makes its own settings and refuses to save mine. The interface is NOT intuitive, i cant get the descreen option to work no matter what. Dont even think of uninstalling and reinstalling, the software glitches up even more, and if youre lucky it wont crash your pc every time you turn it on. check their site, most of their products have all sorts of uninstall patches, etc. can you believe their scanner software is 300 megs!??!? 300 MEGABYTES FOR SCANNER SOFTWARE?? ALL OF PHOTOSHOP ISNT EVEN 300 MEGS!! and guess what? theres no 3rd party software for the scanner... great.

the most annoying thing to me personally is that the scanner decides what color corrections it wants to make to the image. in the options i set it to NOT correct anything, but it still does anyway. i have to load the software (1 - 2 minutes) wait for warm up (3-4 minutes) let it do its preview scan, which it does automatically even if you dont want it to (1 -2 minutes), change all the settings to what i WANT them to be at (another 30 seconds or so) then scan (usually 2-3 minutes). so all in all it takes about 8-10 minutes to scan what i can scan from my cheap little canon bearpaw in about 2 minutes or less.

if this story isnt enough to deter you from buying this scanner, than you deserve the trouble it gets you. also, hp PLEASE get some decent programmers!!!!

Run, Dont walk away from this one !.......2006-03-24

If you are looking for a high quality piece of junk look no furthur. Besides having the worst software I've seen, when it does work it's dreadfully slow (not scanning, just warming up to scan.)
Couple that with a terrible 90 day warranty and poor tech support (sorry HP, I just don't speak Hindu) this must be one of the worse computer items I have ever purchased.
This will be the last HP product that I purchase, next scanner will be a epson, visioneer, canon, anything but a HP !

NO! New HP Image Pro and Image Zone Software for Mac OS 10.4 (Tiger) is NOT great!.......2006-01-06

I gave this software (really the scanner is nothing without the software) 5/5 rating last time based on the good results I got scanning photos. I should have waited until I scanned documents and used the Scan Pro (more like amateur) software a lot more.

The software keeps crashing and the buttons on the front dont work anymore - even thought there is a daemon from HP that eats away 6% of the CPU load all the time.

A document scan does not work more than once, the next time it crashes. Reinstall does not help. The preferences for the software is crazy - and hidden in 2-3 different apps. There is no way to directly scan into PDF - you scan as TIFF in PReview and then use save as to PDF.

I am returning this scanner next week - and am never going to buy a HP scanner again! Stay away from this product.

------ I wrote earlier --------
The Software (downloadable from HP.com) installs and works wonderfiully. All the scanner features are supported from within the OS and there is a plug-in for Photoshop (which can be used for GraphicConverter and other apps also). Just download it and try it (its a big download though >100MB)

The software is stable and the 4070 scanner is FAST enough for my needs - a 4x6 photo scan at 300dpi took less than 10 seconds; a 8x10 grayscale document took less than 5 seconds - after preview.

The only feature I would have liked it for a scan-to-folder with automatic image file naming - this is available for the Canon Scanners (CanoScan app).

Dont believe all the misinformation - there is GOOD scanning software for the Mac and sometimes it works much better than the Windows one which by reading the Windows reviews here seems to be the case. Thanks HP!

The worst software EVER!!!.......2005-12-13

The Scanjet 4070 comes with the "HP Image Zone" software. For anyone that knows anything about scanning / image editing, this software is terrible. It does not allow you to do anything! Not only is it the worst imaging software I have EVER used, but when i researched it online, I found out that HP will not release the codes of the scanner to 3rd party developers, so I can't even use other software. HP makes decent hardware, but their software makes me want to throw the decent hardware out the window!!!

Good quality, easy to use scanner.......2006-12-19

As with other HP products, the quality of the product is excellent as well as the quality of the scanned documents. I used it mostly for photos taking advantage of the dedicated, unique photo door which holds a stack of 12 photos for easy, one-by-one scanning at 2400 dpi optical resolution and 48-bit color. In addition to scanning photos, it also scans all standard types of 35 mm slides up to 3.2 mm thick: Types A, SB, and LKM as well as 2 x negative strips with a maximum of 2 frames per strip. Additionally, it scans documents, larger photos, and 3-D objects and serves as a copier by printing scans as copies to your printer.

Magnavox repair.......2007-05-15

The dvd player worked well for 1 hour. Then the picture failed totally. This is when the pain began. It took over a week to get a customer number to enable me to return the item Promised call backs never happened. Then I returned it and it has been more than 8 weeks. Last story was this model is no longer made and they are trying to decide what to replace it with. Again a promised call back never occured. The item still has not been replaced! I would stay away from magnavox / phillips at all costs.

I love my dvd player.......2007-03-17

I purchased this dvd player almost 2 months ago, and am very happy with my purchace.It has a great picture, good optics, good sound, but depending if there are loud noises, you may need headphones. I used my walkman headphones,and they worked just fine. I have a friend with a no name brand, and you can't basically hear it without external speakers, so this was a concern for me. The sound is suffient, at least for the size of the speakers. I can sit a good few feet away and hear it just fine. The charge lasts a really long time. Well, I never played it for more then 3 hours, but the charge still remained. Plus I always charge it up before I store it, and when I plugged the battery back on the machine after a month, it was still fully charged. It comes with a remote which is a nice feature as well. I felt it was a good choice for the money, I am happy with my purchase.

Magnavox DVD Player--UGH!.......2007-02-25

My husband bought me this DVD player for my birthday earlier this month. I fell in love with it. The screen is a great size, picture is crisp and clear, I had these awesome headphones that when plugged into this player made it sound as if I were in a movie theater.

I only give this 3 stars because it just gave out on me 2 weeks after I got it. I thought maybe it was the plug or battery or something but those weren't the issues at all. It was just that the player stopped working. I was extremely disappointed with this.

With a name brand like this I did expect a hell of a lot more than just two weeks of pure enjoyment. Maybe it was just my luck or something.

Buy Something Else, seriously.......2007-02-07

It didn't play and registered NO DISC with a brand new dvd installed. When I got one to work, it was fuzzy.

You have to put the volume at super duper high to even hear it.

it's pretty heavy, too. am going to return it.

Nice DVD player for the cost.......2007-01-30

The DVD's are very quite when played which was something I really wanted. I had purchased another player elsewhere and the sound of the dvd turning was so annoying I took it back. Great picture quality and sleek look as well. Well worth the price.

Nikon coolpix 775.......2007-04-24

I own this camera and it does a real good job. I would recommend this camera to anyone. Takes really good pictures.

a fix for system error.......2006-12-03

I got the dread system error message - the lens would not fully retract, neither would it extend. After googling this problem I tried the multiple smacks to the back ( front, sides and ends), with and w/o the battery in, without success. Then I accidently pulled off the small front piece of plastic containing the shutter itself (while trying to aid the motor by physically pulling out the lens, and simultaneously dropped the camera on the kitchen floor from a height of, oh, three feet, and voila! a working camera. I have taken pictures with it since. Turned it on and off. Still working. Of course, it's only been an hour...

Nikon coolpix 775.......2006-11-08

Cons: this camera is heavy and bulky. For the price, it is only around 2 mega pixels which isnt good. I had this camera for a while then the zoom wouldnt come all the way out and it says "system error" every time i turn it on so i cannot use it anymore.

Pros: the pictures turn out decent. It is a solid camera but do not drop it on the lens contraption because you will have the same problem of it not turning on and its garabe now.

Insert Title Here. Not bad........2005-12-18

I've had this camera for a while now, and the picture quality is quite good. My main frustration is how incredibly long it takes to power-up, the major shutter lag, and also the fact that it takes a long time to preview through pictures because it blurs and then refocuses, and forget even trying to delete pictures on the camera .. takes FOREVER. I don't bother, I just delete them when I load it to my computer. On the plus side, I like the colors this camera renders in comparison with others out there.. I think it's a good camera if you're into taking just like.. artsy pictures of still objects, but not action ones since it is soo slow. and for people.. well people are impatient, and by the time you get the camera on.. it's like nobody wants to stay still for the picture anymore.

Not a bad camera, if you're willing to wait for it.

So-so.......2005-12-12

First digital. Good pictures - when you have the time to wait for the camera to power up and don't mind a considerable shutter lag time - no real problem with the pictures, BUT the start up time and shutter lag time were/are incredibly frustrating. I went back to a film camera because of those two problems - when taking "grab shots" - and for the complete control I get with a 35mm SLR when taking "serious photography" shots. For a point and shoot, quick "grab the shot" camera it just doesn't get it. On it's behalf, it is one of the earlier point and shoot digitals. They have come a long way since this one. Get a newer model and some of the problems have been cured. After about a three year lay off (of digital cameras), I just got back into the digital point and shoot cameras with a Canon A620. It is far superior to the 775. This camera just can't keep up with the grandkids - or any other "quick shoot" situation. I still have the 775, and will use it occassionally - within its limitations (again, the pictures are OK - not pro quality, but OK), but there are better cameras out there.
