Amazon.com Product Description

The Casio QV-2000 Plus digital camera is a 2.11-megapixel camera offering 1,600 x 1,200 maximum resolution for still photos as well as 320 x 240 movie capabilities. It provides a 3x optical and 2x digital zoom lens, a 1.8-inch HAST LCD screen, and a cursor pad for user-friendly menu selection. Other features include auto or manual focus, autoexposure, auto white balance, a built-in quartz digital clock, an automatic four-mode flash with red-eye reduction, and nine special shooting modes.

While all these features are relatively standard with comparably priced digital cameras from other manufacturers, what sets the Casio QV-2000 Plus apart from its peers is its memory storage capabilities. It offers CompactFlash card capability (with an 8 MB card included) much like other digital imaging devices, but also supports a 340 MB IBM Microdrive (included), the most powerful method of storing digital images to date. With an IBM Microdrive, users can snap up to 400 high-quality images or 19 minutes of 7 frame-per-second video without having to switch memory cards or download. One IBM MicroDrive could replace over 11 rolls of film. This storage capacity accommodates anyone who needs to take a large number of pictures or who plans on being away from a computer for an extended period of time, such as while on vacation.

The Casio QV-2000 Plus is USB compatible and works with PC and Macintosh platforms. It operates on either four AA batteries or an optional AC adapter. Along with the QV-2000 Plus, you receive a USB cable, a serial cable, a Macintosh serial adapter cable, a software bundle, a 340 MB IBM Microdrive, an 8 MB CompactFlash type I card, a video cable, a soft carrying case, and a strap. The included software bundle enables you to instantly upload your photos to the Internet, to convert files into e-mail form, or to edit your photos with ease.

Casio backs the QV-2000 Plus with a one-year warranty.

Casio w/IBM Micro Drive.......2000-07-13

I just returned from 24 days in Europe. Before leaving (and after an enormous amount of online research) I purchased the Casio QV2000 w/Micro Drive from Amazon.com. I also purchased a rechargable battery unit that included a car adaptor. Since this camera loves batteries-it was great to be able to put in freshly recharged batteries everyday (the battery unit was plugged into the cigarette lighter of my rental car). The camera (with micro drive) has the capacity for 400 high resolution pictures. I took 375 photos in 24 days! Now I am editing & captioning them using the software that Casio provides. This camera was perfect for a long trip. It's easy to use & the micro drive means you will never have to worry about running out of memory. In addition, I used several of its features with wonderful results: Panorama-the Schonbruen Palace and Lake Geneva; Night-Charles Bridge in Prague, Street performers in Florence; Landscape-Swiss Alps; etc. Highly recommended.

Excellent Buy.......2000-07-06

My previous digital camera was a Sony FD series w/floppy. I purchased it several years ago when the technology was just being introduced. Its lack of quality resolution,speed and capacity soured me on digital technology and I decided to wait a few years before revisting this arena.Well time has passed and after reading numerous reviews and checking out several cameras at retail locations, I decided to purchase the Casio QV2000. To be honest my main reason for selecting this camera was the Compact Flash slot due to my recent purchase of the Casio Cassiopeia PocketPC.Much to my surprise it is this camera which I have fallen in love with. Obviously the technology has improved and all the shortcomings of my previous camera have been addressed. I was just absolutely staggered by the ease of use, editing capability and picture resolution. There are two things which I dislike, 1) The lens cover slide mechanism feels like a disaster witing to happen, particularly when the camera is used by a newbie

2) Why don't they ship rechargeable batteries and make it so that you can rechargethem in the camera overnight with the AC adapter that should be shipping with this camera.

Great Camera - Software difficult.......2000-05-20

I just received my Casio QV2000. It's truly a great digital camera. Very easy to use and lots of bells and whistles. The Software that accompanies the camera is difficult, necessitating three calls to Casio Techsupport. I might add that they were excellent. User documentation is scarse, so call Customer Service and they will send the manuals. Call Casio for an AC Adapter. The recommended Olympus adapter does not fit. Otherwise, pictures are clear and well detailed. If you have Windows 98 Upgrade the USB cable connection to the computer will not work and you have to use the serial cable, which is slow and needs the AC Adapter.

Product Description

The Minuteman MCP-E series is a line of true on-line uninterruptible power supplies. Its sophisticated double-conversion online technology constantly converts incoming power from utility AC power into DC power to charge internal batteries and then back into clean AC power using built-in converters and inverters. So regardless of what happens to your incoming utility power, the MCP-E series continuously conditions AC current to its purest form as required by your sensitive electronics. Even if the incoming utility AC power falters, the UPS will simply convert DC power from the battery system into clean AC current without a break in power.The MCP-E series uses high-speed Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology with real-time sampling to create the cleanest sine wave output waveform available. With a maximum of 2 percent total harmonic distortion (THD) while still providing tight output voltage regulation of 1 percent it will keep your equipment operating at peak performance. The Power Factor Correction (PFC) technology used in the MCP-E models is designed to correct the power factor of input current. This correction prevents any decrease of power quality and loss of virtual power. PFC also keeps load-generated harmonics from being reflected back into the line source, thereby protecting other equipment in your environment from potential damage.

Radiantec, just not radiant........2006-12-17

What can I say? I am, to say the least, mildly disappointed. I suppose perhaps my expectations were too high after the marvelous black that Radiantec was able to pull off (with help from EPSON...see my other review), but somehow the magenta just doesn't measure up. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but could Radiantec (should be UNRadiantec) be spending their R&D dollars on cyan?

It may seem trivial to most but having an accurate (and yes, radiant) representation of magenta matters to me when I am adjusting the tint on my pictures of Ruby (my cocker spaniel). I don't know, if it's just me I'll shut up.

Amazon.com Product Description

Vivitar ViviCam 3930 - mystery of the battery solved.......2005-06-29

The Vivitar ViviCam 3930 is a decent quality compact size 5.25 megapixel digital camera with a 3x optical zoom and 4x digital zoom. As in all other digital cameras I've tried, the digital zoom produces a very blurry, grainy, mostly useless blob of a picture - fortunately, the 3x zoom proved sufficient for most of my work. For better long-reach photography, choose a digital SLR with an accessory zoom lens or a larger camera with a larger optical zoom.

This camera suffers from rather short battery life due to the rechargeable Li-Ion battery's compact size, not quite allowing one to completely fill a 256MB SD card (about 80 pictures) at best resolution before recharging or swapping. Part of the power problem is the default ON setting of the LCD preview screen, which can't be defaulted to OFF, although it can be switched off manually each time the camera is powered-up.

With much research, the elusive battery type used by this camera was found to be the Fuji NP-60 type, a very compact Li-Ion rechargeable shared by the newer ViviCam 4000 and dozens of other compact digital cameras. This information is not provided in either the Vivitar-provided owner's manual, at the Vivitar website, nor at dozens of online battery e-tailers' websites. Vivitar's tech support, if you can get hold of them, will tell you that it is a proprietary battery you can only buy from Vivitar tech support at a cost of $25 each. But if you ask for the 3930's battery part number, and the part number for the 4000's battery, it is the same part number - and the 4000 webpage conveniently lists the battery type as the NP-60. I was able to find generic NP-60 batteries for $12 each on the Web, and they worked and fit exactly like the original. Buy several spare batteries as you will definitely need them!

Overall, the ViviCam 3930 is a good general purpose camera once you get past its few failings.

Buy a spare..........2005-04-29

I purchased this camera and have had no problems with it. As far as the battery issue goes, if you're planning to take THAT many pics in one setting than I would suggest you spring for a $39 additional rechargeable battery to have on hand. Everyone knows that no matter what camera you have (especially digital) the batteries are gonna ge drained quicker than you can blink so just get a spare. Teh pics are great quality and I love the fact that you can record mini videos/movies to share via email.
Everybody has different experiences with equipment, I can't say that I've found anything wrong with the 3930 so others will have to make up their own minds.

Battery issues.......2005-02-08

The product information is WRONG. The Vivicam 3935 takes 2 AA-size alkaline or NiMH batteries, but this model, the 3930, takes an odd Li-ion battery that Vivitar themselves do not sell! The only option for battery replacement is an expensive Duracell non-rechargeable model.

Battery issue?.......2004-05-08

I don't have this camera but-

One reviewer complained that he couldn't find rechargable batteries for this camera. But the product information says it takes 2 AA NIMH batteries which are the most commonly available rechargable batteries there are. So one or the other is wrong.

You cannot buy batteries for it.......2004-05-01

It comes with 1 rechargable battery. Do you want to take a few pictures then have to wait overnight while it recharges? Its manual does not state the model number of the replacement rechargeable battery to ask for much less where you can buy them or how much. And Vivitar's web site does not offer replacement batteries.

The manual DOES state you can use a NON rechargable Rayovac CP1 battery in lieu of the rechargable it comes with. Do you want to have to buy a fresh battery each time you shoot pictures? Moreover, Rayovac doesnt even currently sell that NON rechargable battery much less local stores.

In short, buy this camera and you will be limited to the length of its one battery and then have to wait overnight while it recharges. You will not be able to buy even non-rechargeable extra batteries for it. And IF Rayovac ever starts to sell the NON-rechargeable batteries, they will likely be very expensive and not widely available, and since they will be non-rechageable you will have to buy new expensive batteries each time. Pity. It would be a winner product otherwise.
