Amazon.com Product Description

The Canon Sure Shot Owl is a lightweight, fully automatic point-and-shoot camera. It offers a 35mm f/4.5 optical glass lens equipped with three-step autofocus technology to give you sharp images from as close as 2.6 feet. The Canon Sure Shot Owl also provides an oversized viewfinder that's three times wider than a normal viewfinder, allowing for easier-to-see images and easier focusing--especially for people who wear glasses. The simple-to-use mode dial lets users quickly switch to one of four built-in flash modes, including red-eye reduction and a self-timer mode. The Canon Sure Shot Owl offers a choice of four shutter speeds and also features built-in autoexposure, auto film load, and auto speed setting with midroll rewind possible. This model also offers a five-mode date imprinting feature so you can always keep track of when a picture was taken.

The Canon Sure Shot Owl measures only 4.9 by 2.9 by 1.8 inches and weighs 9 ounces with batteries, so it's compact and light enough to slip into a pocket or purse.

Canon offers a one-year warranty on parts and labor for this camera.

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.

Okay, but..........2000-07-10

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

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!

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.)

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.

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 =(

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.

Good hardware, worthless software.......2006-09-28

This drive is well made, reliable, and simple to use. However, the Dantz Retrospect HD software bundled with it is worse than useless. It's in that annoying zone of appearing to work, just enough to cause the unwary to waste a lot of time trying to get it to work, without ever succeeding. After several months of on-again off-again results, I have abandoned the Dantz software altogether, and will just use Windows XP to copy the files I want to back-up. I will never use another Dantz software product again.

A MUST for data Back Up.......2006-07-22

I do all my work on a 60 GB laptop, and with all the writing, reviewing, web work, and digital photos I keep on the hard drive, a better-than-good backup system is a MUST.

While worrying over this, I heard on "Website Wednesday" on the Steve and Johnnie show (WGN 720, Chicago) that their expert highly recommended their product. I did the research and agreed. Not only is this device small and handy, but it comes bundled with Retrospect software, which makes the back up process a breeze. It goes beyond the old copy/paste routine by intelligently recording new info and not overwriting old material that wasn't changed. This might not seem like a big deal until you consider that it means recovery will be a lot smoother, should--God forbid!--your system totally crash.

*Knock on wood* I haven't had to use it in this capacity yet, but I have confidence in it. And with the compact design, it doesn't take much desk space. It can either lay flat or sit on its side in a handy little holder.

It's quiet and unobtrusive, and you'll be glad you have it.

**NOTE** In case of disaster, it's IMPERATIVE to have off-site storage. If you can afford a second unit, I'd recommend you keep a copy in safe deposit box storage. If not, look into online storage.

I am very pleased with the results of my Maxtor One Touch. It performs exactly as I wished, and is fast and efficient.
It arrived when I was informed it would, and I would purchase more products from Amazon.

Plug and Pray.......2006-03-17

I bought several of these to copy data to some of our clients. I tried installing the drivers from the CD first, then hooked up the drive. Nothing. Just a message from Windows that it does not recognize the device. I don't have the time to mess with searching for drivers for what is supposed to be a plug and play device. I will never buy Maxtor again.

I purchased this back up drive to back up my laptop computer. The drive was easy to hook-up and the software downloaded with ease. Everything seems to be working just fine. I may have to buy one for my home system. Its nice to have the security of this back up drive.

Amazon.com Product Description

Combining the power of General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) with the convenience of Family Radio Service (FRS), the Midland G-15 two-way radio offers powerful, easy communication with family and friends.

The Midland G-15 UHF/FM two-way radio features a total of 15 GMRS/FRS channels with up to a five-mile line-of-site range with GMRS channels. The clear, backlit LCD display offers easy reading in low-light conditions. The G-15 radio also features a removable, flexible antenna, key lock to prevent accidental channel changes, and vibrating call alert.

The hands-free VOX feature has six levels of sensitivity, enabling you to set how loud you need to talk to activate the VOX circuit. By activating the VOX you only have to talk into the front of the radio or use an optional headset to make the radio transmit.

The Midland G-15 incorporates 38 CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System) codes and 83 DCS (Digital Coded Squelch) codes that, when activated, prevent you from hearing other radios that aren't communicating on the same subcode. These codes do not make your conversation private. If you are using the G-15 where interference from other radios or electrical devices are present, enabling the CTCSS or DCS codes will usually mute the interference.

The G-15 is powered by a rechargeable NiMH battery and comes with a drop-in desktop charger.

Important note to customers: All two-way radios that use GMRS frequencies require an FCC license. For licensing information and applications (form Nos. 605 and 159), call the FCC forms hotline at (800) 418-FORM or check online at www.fcc.gov. For questions concerning the license application, contact the FCC at (800) CALL-FCC (225-5322).

Why buy the Leica c11?.......2002-11-18

This is a GREAT camera!The author is a serious advanced amateur, having two Hasselblads, a 4x5 rail camera, Canon EOS 3, Leica M3, 25+ lenses, etc. Did I mention a Nikon Coolpix 800? So, where does the C11 fit in? NOTHING is as small and light. This camera is about the size of a deck or cards! The lens is great for the 4x6 prints (if I want 16x20, there are better choices). But it is great for snapshots! Why is it better than the Coolpix? Better lens resolution AND the batteries aren't always dead!
The flash works well to about ten feet. You can just pick this up, turn it on, and take a nice photo in about three seconds. I have lots of cameras that can take good photos, but it takes half and hour to get ready.This camera is easy to hold (I really like the round bulge on the side, very gripable). All the unique APS features are present (panorama mode, date, mid-roll change, etc.).I bought this for my mother-in-law and had to get one for myself! You rarely go wrong with a Leica product; the C11 is another winner!
