Product Description

Panasonic's DVD-Audio/Video players give you the interactive, ultra-high-fidelity experience of DVD-Audio that you'll have to hear to believe, as well as high-quality DVD-Video and CD playback. Progressive scanning is the key to the sharpest picture quality the DVD-Video format has to offer, creating a picture signal with double the scan lines of a conventional interlaced picture. DVD-Audio is nothing less than the new world standard for super-high-fidelity sound. You've never heard anything like it!DVD-RP91 is a progressive-scan DVD-Audio/Video player with DVD-RAM video playback capability. Monitor Select feature allows for connection to a standard TV, CRT projector, LCD projector or a Projection TV.

Amazon.com Review

You'd be hard-pressed to find a more feature-packed, superb DVD player than this one, which is available in a very cool champagne color or this basic black. Not only does it do a wonderful job with DVD-Video discs--thanks to its progressive-scan output and advanced, 12-bit/54 MHz video digital-to-analog converter (DAC)--but it also plays the new generation of multichannel DVD-Audio software. The audio DAC offers scintillating 24-bit, 192 kHz resolution, capable of delivering a full two octaves' worth of high-frequency harmonics above standard CDs. And if you happen to own a DVD-RAM-based camcorder like the Panasonic VDR-M10, it plays those discs, too. In a word--Wow.

We're big fans of progressive-scan DVD players. Connect one to a digital television and you'll forget about the dearth of HDTV broadcasts. Why wait for broadcast when so many DVDs are available now? We quickly connected our review player to a 36-inch digital set using the component-video outputs and a 5.1-channel surround-sound system via the player's optical digital-audio output. The RP91 has extensive audio hookup capabilities, so no matter how sophisticated--or basic--your home theater is, you'll be in for the ride of your life. Even if you only use two speakers, it offers two levels of Virtual Surround to help envelop you in sound.

We loaded the obligatory Starship Troopers disc and loved it. The acting was as bad as ever, but the image moved to a still higher dimension of quality. By pressing the "progressive scan" key on the player's front panel, we experienced a seamless 480-progressive image rather than standard 480 interlaced--a picture that is much richer and more filmlike without the bothersome scanning lines. With 480P, you feel as if you could put your hand right into the screen. The audio track, while likewise superb, didn't sound noticeably superior to that of other players--probably because of the limitations of the Dolby Digital compression on that disc.

We were, however, able to get our hands on Swing Live, a new Bucky Pizzarelli DVD-Audio disc from Chesky Records, to properly audition the DVD-RP91 with the new music format. (To appreciate DVD-Audio, you'll need a surround receiver with 5.1-channel analog inputs, since the DVD-A signal is too high-resolution for standard digital inputs to accommodate it.)

We've been a bit skeptical about multichannel music, having heard some poorly engineered early attempts at 5.1-channel surround-sound music. Well, the engineers have learned from their mistakes, and this disc places you at a table in a nightclub, while guitarist Bucky and his friends play jazz standards like "Perdido" and "Sweet Sue." The sense of presence and realism was outstanding. The only thing missing was a nice Sapphire martini, straight up. (Note: this machine does not play SACDs, a competing multichannel audio system being promoted by Sony--but no one machine plays both formats.)

The appearance and playback capabilities of the DVD-RP91--with both audio and video--puts it in a class by itself. Yet it does have problems. The biggest drawback is the onscreen menu--the icons are inscrutable. Without the owner's manual at the ready, it's difficult to navigate through all the available options (and there are many). Not that most people will adjust their video Gamma settings, but we couldn't help wishing Panasonic had made the system more intuitive.

The remote has a very good feel, and a joystick makes adjustments and moves you through the menus. The remote is programmed to handle most TVs, and it handled my non-Panasonic set easily. But the remote really should have backlit keys rather than glow-in-the-dark buttons. This is a high-priced DVD player, so you should get a high-quality remote.

But what else can we say? This is a fantastic, technically advanced DVD player. Any home theater enthusiast should seriously give this one a long, hard look--then buy it. --David Elrich

Pros:

As feature-loaded a DVD player as you can find
Dynamite picture and sound quality
Excellent connectivity options
Intuitive remote with glow keys

Cons:

Onscreen menus difficult to follow
Remote should have backlit keys

Excellent progressive output.......2001-10-04

I bought this player almost totally because of the excellent reviews I had read about its image and sound quality, and the reviews appear to be accurate. This player replaced my old Pionneer DV-414 player, and it is much better.

The progressive output is amazing on my Panasonic Tau television. I believe this player does not exhibit the 'chroma bug' that many high-end AV magazines have found in some players, even some high-end ones.

If you don't have an reciever (or an external decoder) that can decode Dolby Digital or DTS, this player will decode them and pipe them into a reciever with 5.1 channel RCA inputs. My receiver has its own decoder, but I have decided to use the dvd player's decoder full-time as I appreciate the sound quality improvement it gives over my receiver.

I also haven't experimented with the DVD-RAM playback because as of yet I do not own a DVD-RAM drive, though I will probably remedy that in the near future.

This dvd player will also play DVD-AUDIO discs and CD-Rs with mp3s on them. The mp3 feature is pretty nice, though it won't decode id3 tags in your mp3 files. It played all of the CD-Rs that I presented it with flawlessly, however. If you play DVD-AUDIO discs on this player you'll definitely want to use its built-in decoders, as the analog outputs are the only way to get the true level of quality in a DVD-AUDIO disc (the digital outputs are downsampled to reduce the quality of a pirated copy -- it stinks, but that's how it is)

All in all, though expensive, this is a great dvd player, especially if you have a TV that can accept progressive output, and perhaps you need a DD/DTS decoder (or you'd like to upgrade the one you have). Right now the DVD-AUDIO, MP3, and DVD-RAM features are just icing on the cake, and shouldn't distract you from its extremely well-done core competencies of picture and sound quality.

Not for ITG players.......2005-10-29

this is a great flash drive if you do not play In the Groove. It functions normally and does not suddenly become corrupt. But if you like to play the arcade game In the Groove, you are out of luck. This particular flash drive is known not to work in In the groove 1st mix, but I tested it on an In the Groove 2 dedicated cabinet and it still did not work. This flash drive will probably not work on In the Groove 2 conversion kits either.

Product Description

Professional features abound in the five-megapixel C-5050ZOOM. The ergonomically designed camera incorporates an ultra-bright f1.8-f2.6, 3x optical zoom lens system. Its many manual options give you the freedom to create the images you want. The tilting LCD monitor helps frame scenes when shooting from difficult angles, such as from the floor or above the head. A range of automatic modes is also included, enabling the quick reaction to capture the moment. Furthermore the C-5050ZOOM is compatible with the new digital image storage standard xD-Picture card, as well as SmartMedia, Compact Flash and Microdrive.

Amazon.com Review

The Olympus Camedia C-5050 is a monster in terms of performance, compatibility, and unfortunately, price. This 5.0 megapixel camera captures images at some of the highest detail possible in a digital device. It also supports a variety of storage media including CompactFlash, SmartMedia, Microdrive, and XD (it ships with a 32 MB XD card).

The 3x optical zoom lens slides into the black body of the camera when it's turned off. Although this doesn't cut down much on the heft of the 13-ounce Magnesium device, its design still allows it to be easily held in one hand while shooting. Since its powered by four AA batteries, you'll want to pick up some rechargeable ones to save on battery swapping.

Its bright, large 1.8-inch LCD can be viewed easily even in high light environments. It also conveniently detaches from the camera body and swivels out into multiple positions to aid in atypically angled shots (although not through as wide a range as other cameras offering this feature).

All of the controls within this camera are adjustable, including aperture and shutter priority, Panorama, special effects, etc., as well as programmable into a My Mode, letting you customize your most oft-used settings. Captured images were incredibly detailed at the highest resolution of 2560 by 1960 (large enough for printing out at 13 by 17 inches). You can also capture video clips complete with sound with lengths limited only by your storage capacity.

The myriad buttons and dials on the top and back of the camera might prove a bit daunting to the novice digital photographer, although the power and price of this camera will most likely be attracting intermediate or advanced users.

This isn't a camera to get for your kid's sweet sixteen present, but if you're looking for a digital cam with the performance and range of features to compete with a high-end film camera, the C-5050 holds its own. --J. Curtis

Pros:

Lots of features
High resolution captures
Video with audio

Cons:

Pricey and hefty
Menus have a learning curve

Amazon.com Product Description

With the Camedia C-5050, Olympus introduces a new professional standard within the compact digital camera class. With an exceptionally bright, high-quality 3x zoom optical system and 5-megapixel resolution, the C-5050 includes a full complement of high-end features. An ergonomic design and intuitively located controls further enhance this model. In addition to the optical real-image viewfinder, the tilting LCD monitor located on the rear of the camera is particularly helpful when shooting from difficult angles.

Optics and Resolution
The 5-megapixel Olympus C-5050 digital camera can produce quality prints up to 11 by 14 inches and beyond. It boasts a 3x optical zoom lens and 3.3x digital zoom for a total zoom of 10x.

Storage
This model is compatible with the new XD memory-card format (it includes 32 MB card), as well as SmartMedia, CompactFlash, and Microdrive cards.

More Features
Serious photographers will appreciate the versatility of manually adjustable aperture settings and shutter speed, as well as the manual focus. Sharpness control can of course also be left to the camera's automatic TTL iESP (intelligent Electro Selective Pattern) contrast-detection focusing system.

White balance can be fine-tuned via nine preset options, including four fluorescent settings, and may also be regulated manually or automatically with the TTL iESP II system. Five preset scene program modes, such as sport, landscape, and portrait, provide users with settings that reflect the typically optimal photographic parameters for a range of common situations.

Two impressive continuous shooting speeds are attainable: either 11 images at 1.7 frames per second, or 4 shots at a fast 3.3 frames per second.

In addition to its powerful built-in flash with numerous modes, including first- and second-curtain synchronization, the C-5050 also incorporates a hot-shoe for connecting an optional external flash unit, and works with slave strobe lights.

Loses its Settings Every Battery Change / False Battery Low Warning.......2006-11-03

Purchased C5050-Zoom in August 2003, refurbished. Worked great for about 2 years. Then when switching batteries, date/time is lost every time. I searched internet, no info on getting a 'base' battery replaced or details on type of battery. Sent e-mail to check on service, and told to send it in an it would cost a lot of money ($170 comes to mind).

My children know how to operate and take photos/movies. Ages 20 - 6. Has advanced features for more experienced users.

Around Aug. 2006, I noticed that after putting in fully charged batteries, after taking a few pictures (with or w/o flash) that the 'low battery' warning was blinking. If I power on/off, it goes away for a few pictures. I tried this just yesterday (31 Oct 2006) on 'low batteries', ended up taking 118 pictures with it. Most were without flash, and did not use LCD viewfinder.

Used a C-2100 Ultra Zoom for over a year in 2000-2001 which I why I picked Olympus. 2 other family members purchased Olympus on my recommendation. I hope those models turn out better than the C5050 and Olympus support is better and more reasonable.

For the expense of servicing, I'm just riding out this camera until it stops working. Will then put money towards a newer/better/cheaper model. Other family members have Kodak Easy-Share models, have not heard problems with them. Great photos, easier to charge on base and copy files to computer.

Camera Loses its Settings Every Battery Change.......2006-07-20

This camera takes excellent photos and in particular I like its ability to take photos in low light conditions. However, I can not recommend it based on my experience. After less than two years the capacitor that maintains the date, time, and user-mode settings failed. Now everytime I change the batteries, no matter how quickly I change them, the camera loses these settings. It's very annoying and in my opinion a serious product defect. Based on my Internet research I am not alone in having this problem and Olympus apparently has no interest in offering a reasonably priced repair. Very disappointing.

I will never buy another Olympus product........2006-07-12

My Olympus C-5050 is less than two years old. Two years of very light usage, and it's already broken. I sent it to the Olympus Service Center. They replied with an estimate for $197.96 but no mention of what was wrong with the camera. (The $197.96, incidentally, only buys me six more months of warrranty.) A call to their "service representative" yielded no further information. I was told that their was no one I could speak to who could tell me what was wrong with the camera. They did know, however, that it wasn't the bad CCD issue (a covered repair) because my serial number wasn't in the batch of cameras that had that problem.

I was given the option of paying $197.96 for a camera that would then be guaranteed to work only six more months or trading in for a cheaper camera for $240. The cheaper camera is an Olympus SP310 which Amazon sells for $243. Some trade-in, huh?

Not surprisingly the C-5050 has been discontinued but don't be another Olympus victim. I would urge anyone thinking of purchasing an Olympus product to read some of the other Olympus Horror Stories here and other places before sending these people any of your money.

Consider yourself warned.

For me this camera has been a lemon.......2006-07-10

My husband bought me this camera for Christmas in Dec 2003 at $979 Canadian for the basic camera before cards and warranty.

I love the photos when the camera is not in for warranty (luckily he purchased extended warranty for $79) work:

1/ Sept 2005 - the camera just stops working - noted that the camera is in clean condition; repair printed circuit board; repair electrical system; replace command unit.

2/Jan 2006 - camera stops working - it is noted as clean; repair printed circuit board; repair electrical system; replace mode dial.

3/ Jun 2006 - camera stops working - is noted as clean; repair printed circuit board; repair electrical system; replace mode dial.

The sad part about this last warranty is that I was on a trip to Australia for 1 month and it died on day 3!! I had to purchase a $300 digital there to get me through the trip.

I can't wait to sell/trade/give away this camera as it has been nothing but a heartache!

Great Camera but can't figure out how to print date and time on pictures.......2006-05-23

I'd like to give this 4 3/4 stars, with the 1/4 being that I can't get the date and time stamp to show on pictures.

I've had the camera for about 3 years. I love it. Good quality prints every time. Easy point and click so my kids from 6+ can use it. It has a ton of features that I don't think I'll ever use.

The only thing is...I could never get the date to print on the pictures, which was one of the reasons why I bought this camera, because the spec metioned "Date and Time stamp".

I did not want to edit the photographs which would be a pain. I take a lot of family pictures and with my old 35mm camera the date & time appeared on the photographs. It was great to look back at old photos (baby pictures) and see what year they were taken.

I looked at manual, very vague. I researched forums and still nothing. Not even sure if you can do this w/ C5050.

I also took a lot of closeup jewelry and flowers and the macro mode works wonderfully for this purpose. I also have one wide angle and one zoom add-on lens which work well also for nature shots.

The LCD screen flickered and the camera produced green/purple pictures at one point and stopped working. I went to Olympus site and read that there was a call-back for certain models, so I sent mine in and they repaired it for free. Even paid for packaging and shipping.

Product Description

The Linksys WUSB11 USB Wireless Network Adapter is perfect if you're looking to start a wireless network, or just want an easy way to connect to an existing one. With this external adapter you can access a wireless 802.11b from any notebook or desktop's USB port. Free driver/firmware upgrades Free technical support - 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (for North America only) Includes - USB cable & driver utility CD-ROM

Amazon.com Review

If good things come in small packages, the WUSB11 from Linksys makes a great addition to a wireless network. Measuring about the size of a deck of cards and weighing just shy of 3 ounces, this little device fits nearly anywhere and is easily stowed in a notebook computer case. Simple USB connectivity makes it compatible with any modern PC, and also makes it easy to swap from one computer to another.

Provided you already have a wireless router or Internet gateway set up, installing the WUSB11 is a snap. We plugged it into a USB port on a test PC, executed the installation program on the included PC, and once the system rebooted we were connected to the network without being tethered to any wires. The unit draws its power directly from the USB port, leaving users with one less cord to lug around and one less device to plug into a wall outlet. We tested the device on a PC located 40 feet laterally and one floor above the wireless router and didn't even need to extend the tiny antenna to get good reception. Should you need to use the antenna, it extends at either 90 degrees or 180 degrees, meaning it will work whether the unit is sitting flat on a desk or mounted vertically on a wall using the included Velcro strips.

Performance was impressive. As an 802.11b product the WUSB11 supports a maximum speed of 11 Mbps and real-world speeds hovered around that mark in our tests. The signal was strong and consistent, making it great for gaming or transferring large files without worrying about a disconnect halfway through. There are only two indicator lights on the unit itself that tell you it's working--a power light and another light that blinks when data is transmitting--but the included software tools allow for a much more detailed picture. Using these utilities we were able to keep an eye on the signal strength (it never dipped below 95 percent), configure the built-in encryption settings, and perform other security and monitoring tasks.

The device is designed to fall back to lower speeds instead of cutting off trans missions completely when it reaches the limits of its range or experiences signal problems. In a normal-size home you should have no trouble maintaining the 11 Mbps signal, but if you wander outdoors with a notebook or are plagued by signal interference, overall transmission speed can step down to 5.5 Mbps, 2 Mbps, or even 1 Mbps depending on conditions. Even at the lowest speed the device is fast enough for speedy Internet browsing (most users won't see any slowdown at all in that area, even for downloads), although transferring files across the network is painfully slow at the lower speeds.

No matter what, if you plan mainly to transfer large files over your network, you'll probably want the extra speed 802.11a or 802.11g devices offer. Of course, you'll also have to absorb the extra cost associated with those products. The WUSB11 is a fantastic 802.11b device for the money, working perfectly straight out of the box, and its low weight and small size make it a viable alternative to a PCMCIA wireless network card for notebook users. Just make sure the computer you want to connect it to doesn't use Windows 95 or NT, because the unit is incompatible with those two operating systems. --T. Byrl Baker

Pros:

Simple installation and configuration
Mounts either horizontally or vertically
Included software provides useful details without overwhelming users with mi nutia

Cons:

So light that the weight of the USB cord can pull it off a desk
Maximum 11 Mbps transmission speed may be too slow for some users

Amazon.com Product Description

One of the world's smallest, lightest 140mm zoom cameras, the Stylus Zoom 140 QD enhances photographic performance without sacrificing portability. The fully automatic operation includes quartz dating, autofocus, autoexposure, and auto loading and rewinding. The multi-autofocus system ensures focus accuracy even when your main subject isn't in the center of the frame. Its clamshell barrier design provides worry-free protection against the elements.

One of its best features is the variable-power flash for natural color tones. The red-eye reduction flash mode emits a series of pre-flashes right before the shutter snaps, allowing the subject's eyes to adjust to the light level of the flash, which reduces the red-eye effect. Night scene flash mode automatically lowers the shutter speed to ensure that both foreground and background are properly illuminated for night scenes. Fill-in flash mode softens the sharp contrasts for a more natural look in photos where your subject is in both bright light and dark shadow. Flash-off mode is available when flash photography is not permitted, or for special moody effects using available light.

Other features include macro close-ups from as near as 24 inches (wide-angle) and 35 inches (telephoto), and a self-timer. All this makes it easy to just relax and take the picture.

Worst camera I've owned - - I threw my money away .......2005-01-11

In July 2004, just a month after I got the 140 QD CG camera, it started jamming when I'd extend the zoom lens. Made a series of horrid clicking sounds when I'd extend it, or try to pull it back in. Put in fresh battery (again), tried again - - jammed up, wouldn't rewind the film at the end of a roll, lost all photos. Boxed it up, sent it back to Olympus at my expense, and received it back about 3 weeks later, with a xeroxed piece of paper - - no letter of explanation as to repair or problem - - just a schematic of the film case, yellow-highlighted, and all I could gather from this lack of information was they were trying to tell me I was loading the film incorrectly. That would make the zoom lens and lens cover jam and click and take out-of-focus photos? I think not. So, back from the factory, I proceeded to try again, and the camera worked for about a month - - by December same problems were back - - several rolls of film later, photos still coming back out of focus, zoom lens jamming, lens cover jamming. Haven't decided yet whether to return it to Olympus and tell them they've lost me as a customer, or throw it off the highest cliff. Don't waste your money on this product. It was disappointing to find out that Olympus doesn't seem to care about communicating or making things right. This was my first and last Olympus product, even though I'd heard great things about their stuff.

Wonderful! Simple to use, great photos........2003-11-23

The two most important features to me are the quality of the photos a camera takes (with and w/out the zoom), and how quickly the picture is taken when you press the shutter and quick speed between photos. This camera delivers both those features.

I had an Olympus Stylus for years, then a year ago thought I should get a new autofocus camera and read snappy advertising by Nikon about their special glass lens technology for incredibly sharp pictures blah blah blah. I was sold. That camera took terrible fuzzy or grainy photos with the zoom, and not that great without the zoom lens. And the worst part was the wait time between photos with and without the flash. We'd press the shutter also, and there would be a few second delay before the photo was taken. By then all the kids had moved and we had to set everybody up all over again. Do not buy a Nikon lite touch.

I love the Olympus. We've taken it to the ocean and snapped four rolls of film. Every photo was sharp, colorful, and good quality. I cannot tell you how releived we were when we got the photos. Olympus makes a great product at a great price without a lot of pomp and circumstance.

Very Good Camera.......2003-10-15

It doesn't suck. I cannot believe some of the negative comments about this camera. I've had one for a while and it's always taken great pictures. The only problems that I've had is when the people at Eckerd screw up the processing (but they have ALWAYS reprinted at NO COST) to correct the problems. For a point and shoot, it does a great job of focusing. 1 last thing, use Fuji film. I have always had better results with it than Kodak.

Too bad it didn't last!.......2003-04-20

I bought this camera about 2 1/2 years ago. I was very satisfied with the picture quality under a variety of conditions. Unfortunately, a couple of weeks ago it quit focusing. As it turns out for this type of camera all photo repair shops send the unit in to Olympus to have it repaired. If you want you can send it to Olympus directly yourself. The problem is that regardless of the problem, the repair is a flat rate ... which is rapidly approaching the cost of just buying a replacement camera. Disappointing...

Excellent!.......2003-04-01

I think it is great! It is the kind of camera I've always wanted. Very light, compact and easy to use. The images are perfect!! The zoom function is perfect and it is NOT noisy at all. I am very pleased with my purchase. Thanks, www.Amazon.com for the good recommendation!
