Amazon.com Review

The Creative Labs Nomad II C is one of those gadgets that are so much fun to play with, you find yourself forgetting they're useful, too. When portable MP3 players first hit the market, they were relatively simple devices good for one thing: playing MP3 files. Now, as companies have learned customers want more than just that, today's devices can no longer be described as just MP3 players.

The Nomad II C's most overlooked feature is that of a digital voice recorder. Since voice recordings aren't the memory hogs that music files are, the Nomad II C can record up to four hours' worth. This feature is perfect for dictating messages to yourself or for the fledging journalist recording interviews, and you can even upload voice files from the Nomad II C to your PC.

From an audio perspective, the Nomad II C couldn't have performed any better. The equalizer had good settings, and the ability to program user-defined settings was awesome. Furthermore, a wired remote control and bass-enhanced, behind-the-head headphones completed the package.

MP3 players are great for music lovers on the go. Because they have no moving parts, they're well known for skip-free music. To test the Nomad II C, we loaded it up with some hip-hop and headed down to the local BMX spot in San Francisco. With the player clipped to a belt, we put it through its paces over a multitude of jumps and with more than enough crashes. We did our best to make it skip, but it performed perfectly (though beware--the Nomad II C isn't scratchproof). Only after the battery started to get low (the Nomad II C offers eight to 10 hours of playback) did performance degrade. But this was easily remedied by dropping in a new AA battery.

This version of the Nomad II C has 32 MB of onboard memory, but it does include a slot for SmartMedia memory cards. As additional memory is still relatively expensive, and most of us don't have extra cards lying around the house, there will come a time when you'll tire of the songs on the device. And without the presence of your PC--and no additional SmartMedia cards--you're at a loss.

MP3 music, like everything else technology related, is in constant flux. Recognizing that, the Nomad II C ships with reprogrammable firmware that should enable it to support digital-audio formats and software extensions as they emerge. So, you should be able to enjoy your Nomad II C for years to come. --William O'Neal

4 out of 5 stars Oldie but a Goodie.......2003-11-16

I had bought my Nomad II (32MB onboard) sometime in 2001 for $69. I cannot beleive that I got it for that price and still it stays at that price two years later. It has great sound and with a 128MB card you have plenty of music to last you. It is a great piece and everytime I look to get a new one or a better one, I can't find anything that is much better for the price. I am keeping my mine until the price of MP3s drop drastically.

4 out of 5 stars excellent mp3.......2003-07-27

i love my mp3 nomad IIc. my sister tried mine and had to buy one. it beats working out and having to listen to alot of talking on the radio. i love the ability to download music and re-download to change the music. the only drawback i have found is that my headphones did not last very long. i blew out one side of the headphone speaker and ended up buying a new one. i would like to upgrade my 128mb with a 32mb card but i dont know if its really worth it to do that for one hour more of music. a friend of mine has a rio brand and ive seen an rca brand, these do not compare to the nomad IIc. its has great sound, very compact,easy and convenient to use and download!

5 out of 5 stars Oh Man this is Nice.......2002-04-07

Ive had i think two or three MP3 players and this is the best one ive ever had. Normally i have no luck with computer/electronics but this is as easy as breathing, and for those of you who have trouble breathing, then its as easy as eating. I put a 32 megabyte Smart media in it and it was the easiest thing ive ever done but then the card got stolen, so i got a 64 and that was soo nice, now i can hold 33 songs so wherever i go, im set i recently flew to Washington D.C. and i wasn't mad that i didn't have enough songs at all, the one drawback is, but i think this happens on every mp3 player is that the clock uses the batteries even when it is turned off. You're Welcome.

4 out of 5 stars Excellent Entry Level Player.......2002-02-16

If you're not up for paying big bucks for an iPod, this is a great unit. I connected it to my iMac right out of the box and iTunes recognized it's 32mb of internal memory and the 64mb smart media card I added so I could immediately start transferring tunes.

Mine didn't come with phones so I bought some Koss earbuds that have foam earpieces and small tubes that channel the sound into your ears. This was better than other phones I tried because they seal out the outside noise. By tweaking the sound settings on the Nomad llc, I get the crisp highs and nice clean bass. Perfect for my Miles Davis MP3 collection.

I reccomend this unit highly. It has excellent features, small size, awesome battery life, and a great price.

4 out of 5 stars A great little player.......2002-02-13

I bought the Nomad II C from Amazon at Christmas and got a great deal on it, and I only paid $.... The 32MB built-in memory isn't really enough, so I recommend that you add at least another 64MB of memory (Amazon has some great deals on SmartMedia cards too). The sounds quality is brilliant but some don't come with headphones, and the ones that come free aren't that good, so I suggest you get a new set of those too. Only other complaints are that you need to take the battery out to the remove the SmartMedia card (if you need to, say, clean it), and that the instructions on how to use the voice recorder are minimal, if not non-existant. I still haven't figured it.

The best things include the quality of the sound, immense battery life, compact size, easy navigation of the menu and the fact that the headphone jack is tight enough to hold onto the MP3 player if you drop it - almost like a safety cord.

I won't lie - this thing isn't stratchproof, and the lack of a leather case is a bit galling, but the silver finish is great and really makes this MP3 player one of the best going for this kind of price.

        3 out of 5 stars Adequate for general purposes.......2004-05-05

        Not bad for the price. Adequate for email attachments and snapshots. The picture quality depends largely on the amount and type of available lighting. It seems to work best outdoors on bright days; not nearly as well with indoor lighting. No big surprise there. However, the major drawback is that the batteries continue to drain at an alarming rate, even when the camera shuts off. A word of advice: if you don't want to lose your stored photos, upload them to your PC as soon as you have the opportunity. Leave this one sitting around for a day or so and you'll find that you've wasted your time taking those pictures.

        5 out of 5 stars I like the idea - a pen-like camera ........2004-01-31

        It's simply a all-right webcam. It's tiny and well-made.
        For its resolution, I don't think it's good enough. Put
        differently, it's a webcam with the extra function as a
        simple digital camera.

        3 out of 5 stars Don't want to pay too much?.......2003-04-08

        I bought this camera because I wanted an affordable, digital camera that was small to carry around. I don't have any trouble with the viewfinder. All pictures matched what I took. But battery life wasn't very good. A good idea would be to get a couple RECHARGABLE AAA batteries. The pictures are OK quality. The best is outside. Otherwise, this is a great lil camera if you want to get started and don't want to pay too much!

        2 out of 5 stars You get what you pay for............2003-01-20

        I was looking for a camera that was affordable and had decent resolution for taking pictures for my auctions. I ran across this camera and picked it up. The package boasted great image quality for pictures and also worked as a webcam.

        The picture quality was not too bad when you can get it to take pictures. If you take alot of indoor pictures, make sure you have a 500 watt halogen lamp handy. I could only occaisionally get pictures taken under normal household lighting. Outdoor daytime pictures generally came out great in either image mode (high resolutio- 27 pictures....low resolution-107 pictures). What I could never understand was the image quality and light sensitivity was perfect when used as a webcam. I also found that this little camera had a nasty tendancy to suck up batteries at a fairly costly rate.

        Another annoyance is the viewfinder. No matter how I lined up the shot in the viewfinder I was bound to cut the top off of a head, or the side of a box.

        If you are looking for a camera to take some quick outdoor shots, or a webcam that you can use to take some pictures on occaision, then you might enjoy this camera. Quirks aside, the compact size and picture quality (under good lighting) is generally good.

        Hopefully Aiptek has improved on later versions of this camera. I would not suggest paying retail prices for this camera. If you can find one in the [$$$] range, it might be worth it.

                  Product Description

                  Samsung's new DVD711 brings advanced features and premium performance to a popular price point. In order to meet the highest system requirements, the DVD711 uses the latest component Video output terminals, High-resolution Audio and Video DACs, and DTS compatible Optical and Coaxial digital audio output terminals. A dual Laser Diode allows playback of CD-R discs. Key components, including the Dual Laser Diode Pickup, compatible with CD-R, the Disc Mechanisms and key LSI devices were developed by Samsung engineers specifically to enhance performance first. Of course, advanced features are also included, from the ergonomic universal joystick remote controller and jog shuttle functions, to the new On-screen display that makes controlling elaborate DVD features simple. There is even a screen saver function to prevent involuntary damage to your TV Screen when no disc is present. The DVD711 is your best choice when cost-effective performance is your goal.

                  Amazon.com Product Description

                  The Samsung DVD711 high-resolution DVD player incorporates a 10-bit video digital-to-analog converter and a 96 kHz, 24-bit audio digital-to-analog converter to ensure precise playback and pristine audio quality from every disc. Left/right audio output terminals let you use the unit with a Dolby Pro Logic receiver, so the typical six-channel Dolby Digital signal is mixed down to a compatible Pro Logic signal. The virtual 3D sound system uses 5.1-channel DVD information and simulates surround sound using just a pair of standard speakers.

                  The 2x audio playback allows any soundtrack to be heard even when you are fast-forwarding the video at twice the normal speed. You can also magnify portions of any image either two or four times the normal size without affecting playback. The Samsung DVD711's dual laser diode pickup system provides accurate playback of both DVD and CD sources, enabling the player to read both CD-R and CD-RW discs.

                  Standard S-video, composite-video, and optical digital outputs are included. The set of component-video outputs provides an optimum connection between the Samsung DVD711 and a TV set with component-video inputs. The universal joystick remote control comes with two AA batteries. Additionally, the jog-shuttle dial control system lets you scan forward and backward or pause quickly and intuitively.

                  Samsung offers a one-year warranty on parts and labor.

                  4 out of 5 stars Good product.......2003-06-04

                  Had it for a couple of years with no trouble at all,wide range of features,great picture

                  5 out of 5 stars Great Product!.......2002-07-18

                  I received this DVD player as a Christmas gift in Decemeber of 2000. It has worked almost flawlessly since, and I only had one DVD not work with it (Moulin Rouge), but I returned it and got another copy that did work, so I guess it really wasn't the player.

                  I am a huge fan of Samsung's remote control which has a little joystick--its a lot of fun to play with. Unlike Sony players, Samsung's fast-forward and reverse give you much more control (up to 32x) and actually tell you the speed (not just FF). The jog dial on the unit is also a nice touch, but I wish it could go frame-by-frame in reverse. The preouts (DTS and DD) are very clean sounding and will certainly suit the audiophile. The 3d sound is also very good. I already had a 5.1 speaker set up, but the 3d sounds adds another dimension of ambience and warmth. After reading a review on this very page, I learned that the Samsung was MP3 audio compatible despite the information on this site and the Samsung manual. After trying it for myself, I was impressed, although it can only play 100 tracks, which is still very good (especially for a player thats 1.5 years old).

                  The picture is just as good as the sound. I am using component video on my 32" flat-screen and the quality is superb--much better than the Apex models.

                  1 out of 5 stars Samsung DVD Model 711 - AVOID !! AVOID!! AVOID!!.......2002-04-13

                  My wife and I received this as a wedding gift and really apreciated the gesture at the time. We have now owned this miserable excuse for a DVD player for over a year and have successfully watched maybe 3 DVD's out of dozens without it skipping and refusing to play the disk. I've heard stories about the US versions of this player skipping and the European one doesn't but don't take a chance. It skips on new and used DVD's. I can't think of many things more frustrating than finally finding that movie you have been wanting to see for weeks in the video store and renting it only to have it stop playing 3/4 of the way through. ... Do yourself a favor - don't buy one of these.

                  3 out of 5 stars Acceptable DVD Player.......2002-02-23

                  This DVD Player is not that great but acceptable. I have not had any problem except it skips sometimes. OK for general use, I guess.

                  4 out of 5 stars My parents love it!.......2002-01-28

                  This was a Christmas gift for my parents. My only complaint was that the instructions on how to set it up weren't as clear as we (the electronically handicapped) would have preferred. However after consulting my brother-in-law we got it to work. The picture and sound were great and now my parents go DVD shopping at least once a week.

                  And I have yet to buy MYSELF a DVD player....
