Customer Reviews:

Very happy with it.......2005-12-04

We have been very happy with this camera. We bought it a year and a half ago. Large screen. Good pictures. Small size.

Buy extra rechargeable batteries, so you always are ready to put in a fresh pair. The flash will use them up fast.

I selected four stars because I would have liked it to be a little quicker to take the picture, and quicker to charge the flash. You will probably only get those features on a digital SLR at a much higher price, however.

good for the price, but service is a hassle.......2004-10-01

It's hard to complain for the price, the QV-R51 is very good in most ways but I have some gripes. Using the internal HTML album generation, the metadata came out all garbled (must be a software bug). It comes with other bundled software for generating albums offline though, which is adequate (it generates HTML that works with IE Explorer, but not fully with Mozilla). As far as the other bundled software, the autoloader is ok, but they include a lot of other stuff which is junk, you'll waste an hour looking at it and then throwing it away. Just pay a few bucks for better software.
The focus is pretty unstable in movie mode.. the movie feature is just there as a freebie I suppose, but lack of sound and focus limits their usefulness. Usually the snapshot auto focus is good, but it is slightly off often enough (even in good light) that you are forced to zoom in on the image in playback mode if you want confidence that you won't be disappointed with some shots when you get home. It would be nice if it did a zoomed-in review of just the target/focus area for you automatically so you could quickly see if it was good enough without pushing a lot of buttons (manual focus mode does something sort of like this).

My main gripe however, it that it suddenly quit working after 22 days of gentle use. Casio has a one year warranty, but dealing with their customer service is a hassle... it's hard to track down a human Casio rep, and they won't pay for shipping to their service center.

movie with no sound.......2004-09-22

The casio qrv-r51 take wonderful still pictures. I really love the 2 inch screen. The movies look perfect. I rated it a three because the movies have "no sound"! No where in the description does it say "no sound". This is the 21st century. You do not expect to make a movie with "no sound". The owners manual talk about transfering audio files. How do you do that if there is "no sound". Beware the company will not take back or even exchange for a higher priced camera. I love the still pictures. I hate not having "sound". I will purchase another camera. "Not a Casio".

My Newest Obsession.......2004-08-14

I can't say that I am an extremely credible source on the subject, but I know high quality when I see it. The Casio QV-R51 is by far the best digital camera I have ever encountered, and although it has its faults, it is definitely the best around for the extremely low price range. Not only is this camera a 5 mpx gem, the photos (if you have any SKILL to those posting reviews below) come back with incredibly high quality and breathtaking detail. 2560x1920 images and a 2 inch LCD, who could go wrong?

I have had this camera for three months, and I have used it so much that one would assume that I have had it for over a year. So far, after thousands of images, I have encountered no major problems that would ever make me even consider sending it back.

On the negative side, every camera has its faults, the first being that the zoom isn't as large as I'd like, but it works well, so it's not a major issue. Second is that the red eye doesn't work in all cases, but it is not a function that I normally use, so I don't have problems with that either. The majority of the cameras I have encountered have problems with resolving red eye, and I am still convinced that my little sister is cursed with red eyes that simply cannot be avoided. There is also the issue of having video mode with no audio, but seriously, if you really have a need to be taking a 60 second video, it must be something so interesting that audio is not necessary. This is a digital camera, not a video camera, so don't use the function if you're going to be nitpicky about it!

All in all, with the bestshot functions, video functions, manual focus, AA batteries, and every other thing about this camera, faults and all, I still reserve five stars to my newest obsession! Trust me, it will be more than well worth it for the price.

Returned after 2 weeks.......2004-07-22

What can I say... This one disappointed me. I did a lot of research before buying a digital camera and seeing the first 3 reviews I figured it is a good camera.

The good things first. The big LCD is really a plus. It is really difficult for me to go back to a camera, which has a smaller LCD (we DO get used to a good thing too quickly). However it lacked clarity especially in the dark (my friend had an older 3mp-cybershot camera from Sony and the quality was incomparable).

The size is nice.

I expected the batteries to last longer but it was ok. Plus I do have 2 other pairs of rechargeable batteries so it was not a big inconvenience.

The picture quality was OK...Neither nor... some pictures were blurry some were very good... red eye reduction didn't really work on all the pictures. Nighttime pictures weren't that great.

The video without sound that was a really bad one. I understand that this is not a digital camera but what is the use of a video without sound.

The next thing, which convinced me I should return the camera, is the way it looked after a couple of uses. I was really careful with it however after a few days the camera looked as it was used at least for a year. The zoom and the shot button silver paint were wiped and you could see the ugly yellow plastic. I would have expected it after at least a year of extensive use but not after 100 pictures.

As a result I just shipped the camera to Amazon.
Hopefully they will honor the 30-day return policy.

Customer Reviews:

Excellent for beginners.......2006-01-30

Binoculars are excellent for beginners to amateur astronomy - they cost less than telescopes and they give you a great deal of freedom to scan the sky. I bought these for this reason and I've been very happy with them. The magnification is low enough that holding them in your hands doesn't produce too much jitter, but it's high enough to bring out celestial objects you wouldn't see unaided. I've seen galaxies, double stars, and Jupiter's moons with these.

The only downside is that the bodies of the lenses are very bulky and close together, so screwing in a tripod adapter is awkward and takes a few tries before it's in all the way.

Enjoy slim, stylish video images from Sharp's feature-packed, high-tech 13-inch LC-13E1UW Aquos screen. The monitor comes with a built-in cable TV tuner and measures less than 3 inches deep. Even when it's positioned near a window or other high-glare location, its proprietary Advanced Super View panel with black TFT antiglare coating makes it bright enough for you to view its brilliant colors with ease.

The LC-13E1UW is an Aquos E-series model, which means it has a sleek and minimalist style that's ideal for wall installations, with speakers on the bottom of the TV and a narrower body than other Sharp Aquos models have. It also includes a removable easel-style table stand.

An electronic PLL tuner handles over-air reception of TV programming. The monitor's energy-efficient design consumes 60 percent less power than a conventional television with the same-size screen consumes.

sharp 13 in lcd.......2004-05-24

beautiful picture, nice and lightweight; I also got the sanus 2 way wall mount which is excellent, strong and I also highly recommend

You Won't Find Better 13" LCD.......2004-04-18

We were looking for an under-cabinet TV for a new kitchen project. We couldn't have found a better choice than Sharp's 13" Aquos.

The white model worked best with our kitchen decor (other choices are silver and black).

The Aquos is incredibly well-designed. You can set it on a surface with the default stand, or mount it to hang under a cabinet with the included mounting kit.

Installation was a little tricky. I really wanted to hide all of the wires and TV cable up under the cabinet. The under-mount includes a stylish, color-coordinated box for this purpose, but getting all of the wires inside was a bit of a challenge. I ultimately made a trip to the hardware store for longer bolts as those included were about 1/2" shorter than needed for the thickness of our counters.

With this small hurdle cleared, I was able to under-mount the Aquos, and then really began to appreciate the design. Wires and cable are completely hidden. The TV cable and electric input flows down through the inside of the swing arm to the back of the TV. The rear of the the Aquos has inputs anything you could connect to a full-sized TV. A snap-on panel reveals the inputs and hides them once you've attached whatever wires you need to connect.

With setup done, sit back and enjoy the Aquos' crisp LCD picture and clear sound. The stylish Aquos is a joy to behold, and quickly becomes the centerpiece of your kitchen.

The Aquos is not just beautiful; it's a perfect marriage of form and function. The LCD rotates 180 degrees left to right, and the swing arm folds up to stash the unit under the cabinet, thus freeing up a little extra cabinet space. I never fold it up, however. It just looks so gorgeous hanging in its normal spot. A stylish remote is included.

Even customer service is great. I had an issue that I couldn't find in the manual (I accidentally reset the audio to receive the Spanish language translation on some channels). I left an e-mail with customer service, but didn't really expect much help. To my surprise I had an e-mail within two hours that solved the problem.

Bravo, Aquos!

Great anyplace you don't have a lot of room.......2004-04-17

This is a fantastic TV! I was a little unsure whether an LCD TV would be OK in a room that gets a lot of sun, but I am most impressed by the brightness of the picture. The colors are vibrant, and the clarity of the picture is amazing. I mounted it to the wall with a Sanus VM2 wall mount, which it allows you to swing out and tilt the TV when you are watching it and push it back flat against the wall when you aren't. It looks fantastic in my kitchen and is very unobtrusive and attractive when laying flat against the wall. I am delighted with this purchase, and found the 13" was plenty big enough for viewing in the kitchen.

Perfect for Kitchen.......2003-08-08

Ideal kitchen counter size, vibrant display color, sharp picture quality and easy set-up characterize the Sharp LC-13E1U Aquous. I debated 13" vs. 15" and am very happy with the stylish 13". Sound quality is exceptional. Recommend highly.

Twice the picture size in half the counter space!.......2003-06-13

Great picture and nice styling, I am very impressed with this Sharp flat panel TV. Lots of features, compact, and reasonably priced. Best of all, Sharp's EASY SET-UP feature had this puppy out of the box, hooked to the cable, and working, in about 10 minutes - fully programmed.
