Amazon.com Product Description

The electronic equivalent of a Swiss army knife or Leatherman multipurpose tool, the GPX TVWB534SP packs as many goodies as it can into its stylish, durable housing. The device centers around a 5-inch black-and-white TV--with vertical hold, contrast, and brightness controls--that's great for catching ballgames at a tailgater or keeping kids entertained in the back seat. That's certainly not all, however. The unit also comes with an analog AM/FM radio for listening to music or news reports, an instant weather band receiver that picks up weather alerts and storm warnings, a flashlight and a lantern for lighting up a dreary campsite, and a thermometer that keeps you informed of the outdoor temperature. And is if that's not enough, it even includes an emergency siren and a compass--a couple of handy items should you get lost in the mountains or the countryside. Users who want to pare down their supplies while going on sundown hikes can remove the flashlight from the plastic housing, which makes the light source far more portable. The housing charges the flashlight independently, though the light does require two rechargeable ni-cad batteries (not included). As a lantern, meanwhile, the unit offers a two-way adjustable fluorescent beam that's ideal for reading, eating, or as a general background light.

The device is appropriate for a variety of casual and serious uses, from serving as a tailgater accessory, an all-in-one emergency tool for home power failures and natural disasters, a camping gear space-saver (several camping necessities in a single package), and a survival kit for vehicle breakdowns in the desert or a mountain pass. Users have the choice of plugging the TVWB534SP into an AC wall outlet or a DC cigarette lighter adapter, or conversely they can add nine C-size batteries (not included) for portable use. Adding to the unit's convenience is a molded carrying handle and an adjustable/removable shoulder strap for longer totes. The device also includes an audio/video input (for plugging in, say, a portable DVD player), an external antenna jack, and a stereo headphone input.

What's in the Box
TVWB534SP TV/radio/flashlight, AC adapter, DC cigarette lighter adapter, removable shoulder strap, user's manual.

5 out of 5 stars Wow!.......2007-05-31

I bought his for the hotel where I work. They loved it. It took less than a week to receive. We plan to put it with our emergency kit, we're preparing for hurricane season.

5 out of 5 stars Love It and highly reccommend it to others.......2007-02-04

We recently had a power outage here in Syracuse, Ny. I was looking forward to watching my favorite show as the power went out. Emergency T.V. is the best!! Although it takes 9 batteries, it sure came in handy. My husband also hooked it up to our cable t.v line and it worked.

      I bought this portable tv.... I loved having it on my kitchen counter so I could tune in to my favorite programs. However it ceased to work a year and a half after I purchased it. I am very upset about. I am currently trying to find another that is reasonably priced.

      i recently bought this tv because i am redecorating my room and i saw it in a catalauge. i knew i could get it cheaper on amazon,com. i have a 20 inch tv in my room, but i wanted this one to place on my nightstand simply for decorational purposes. but i find myself using it while taking a bath, because it is fully portable, and our electricity went out, and it was perfect! i have to say that i am not surprised in the quality f this product because i own many GPX electronics and that is simply a wonderful company

      2 out of 5 stars Don't Go Back In Time, Move Foward.......2001-07-29

      It's the year 2001 And we have lots electronic ablities. LET'S USE THEM!! I only gave the item 2 stars because it has the look of 2001, but as most of us should know looks aren't everything. If we have these tecnoligies we should use them. Why didn't you put color? Why not put black and white? Well most people these days I would say would enjoy siting down with a bowl of popcorn and watching a good movie on tv. (In color) People like it better because you can see more details. Like what kind of day it is. And what a beautiful blue (Color) the ocean looks today. I don't know about the rest of you, but from my point of view this item gets 2 stars.

      1 out of 5 stars Picture blew after Six Months -- big disappointment.......2001-06-18

      Bought this tv in December. Initially loved it. Fun color, perfect size, etc. BUT THE PICTURE BLEW -- WITH SPARKS AND SMOKE -- AFTER JUST SIX MONTHS OF USE!! VERY DISAPPOINTING.

      Don't be fooled by the pretty packaging. This tv is a LEMON. Three days ago, mine blew it's picture tube and nearly caught on fire in my living room! How long did I have it? 4 MONTHS! Save your money and buy a brand that's built to last.

      4 out of 5 stars Good size to take around with you.......2001-01-12

      This is a great compactable tv. You can take this around with you anywhere, even in the car on a road trip! You can also hide it in small places.

      I've had one of these for over a year now. I use it 30-45 minutes almost every day watching the news and weather in the bathroom while showering and getting ready for work. Never had a problem with it. Good picture. Okay sound.

      Cute tv - very good for the office, but after about 6 months the button to switch between tv & radio stop working. So now I don't have a tv or radio to listen to. Save your money, buy something else.

      1 out of 5 stars If you like the smell of smoldering plastic... buy this tv!.......2001-01-23

      I bought this tv last Aug/Sept, here it is a mere 4 months later and it is already kaput. The first thing to break was the antenna. It was held in place by a dinky little plastic tab which promptly snapped off after a few times adjusting for reception. Three days ago the picture tube blew and I mean it BLEW. First a puff of black smoke and then the tv nearly caught fire in my living room! I could smell the wires and plastic melting. BUYER BEWARE! This is a real lemon and a fire hazard.

      1 out of 5 stars Unhappy customer.......2001-01-17

      I bought this little TV for my husband for X-mas 12/2000, within two weeks the TV will not give us a picture for any station. The first two weeks we thought it was the best product that we bought, but now we're very disappointed.

      4 out of 5 stars not bad.......2000-10-08

      THis T.V. is very handy for traveling ang keeping kids occupied in a long car trip but the reception isn't that good. It gives you a good selection of channels but you have to turn a different angle for a channel. My cousin once had to watch t.v laying down! Overall, I think this is a good product and anyone with kids should buy it.

      2 out of 5 stars short life.......2003-11-04

      My GPX 5" portable b/w TV is slightly less than 3 years old and has died a slow death over past four months. First, the screen started to roll and no amount of tinkering with the back of the TV would stop it. This has not been a huge problem since I use this TV largely for sound while I am doing household chores. In the last two months, the on/off switch has become increasingly unreliable. Sometimes I have been able to get the TV to click on but at other times no amount of clicking will kick the TV into gear. Last week, for four days in a row, it refused to turn on (the switch for the radio still works). So I have given the TV a proper burial. Should I have expected more from a $30 TV? I have purchased a different brand of 5" TV and will see if I get more than just over two years of good service from it.

      Product Description

      With the PENTAX ZX-M, manual doesn't have to mean complicated. With the convenience of easy-to-read dials and the control of manual focus, even beginner photographers are assured fun while achieving creative results. A multi-mode exposure system, advanced light metering system, and easy-to-use exposure compensation provide flexibility and maximum performance in a variety of situations. And a built-in film winder, depth-of-field preview button, and memory lock feature provide extra convenience and ease-of-use. Super-compact and lightweight, the 10.8 ounce PENTAX ZX-M is the perfect choice for SLR novices wanting to learn the basic skills of photography.

      Amazon.com Product Description

      Though the Pentax ZX-M SLR camera shares its compact dimensions and easy-to-use features with the Pentax ZX series, this model lets you switch from a completely automatic mode to a completely manual mode. In addition to the user-friendly features, this camera incorporates a wide variety of functions, including a multimode exposure system, an advanced light-metering system, and a 1/2000-second high-speed shutter. The Pentax ZX-M uses the Pentax A-series manual focus lenses, the FA- and F-series autofocus lenses, as well as a wide range of optional accessories to satisfy the photographer's creative needs.

      With its four exposure modes: Aperture-Priority AE, Shutter-Priority AE, Metered Manual, and Programmed AE, you can give this camera as much or as little control over your pictures as you want. You can use the Programmed AE for those shots that you want exposed with no guesswork on your part, while Aperture-Priority AE and the Shutter-Priority AE give you partial control over the shot. Or, for complete control, switch to the manual mode and capture the shot exactly the way you want it.

      The Pentax ZX-M lets you check the depth-of-field for a given aperture with just the push of a button. This feature ensures that your picture will have the visual effect that you want, before you take the shot. You can even use this feature when the camera is set in automatic mode. The external LCD viewfinder display features the Pentax Natural-Bright-Matte focusing screen, which gives you a sharp, clear image and lets you confirm all of your settings with just a glance.

      5 out of 5 stars Great camera.......2006-08-09

      This camera is great. It was the first "real" camera I bought for myself when I started photography back in high school, years later I still have and use this camera. It's simple and easy to use with out being just a point-and-shoot. Perfect camera to learn on, and can use most of the older Pentax lenses.

      5 out of 5 stars it's just plain great!.......2002-05-15

      i have had this camera for about a year and i am yet to take a bad picture with it. it does lack a flash though and the lense that mine came with did not have auto-focus, so it is a camera for those who are into serious photography. it does have many automatic settings though, so it is easy to use overall. i hope that other people enjoy this camera as much as i have.

      4 out of 5 stars Pentax ZX-M does have a self-timer.......2001-08-24

      This camera does have a self-timer.

      5 out of 5 stars Best SLR for the money!.......2001-07-04

      The ZX-M is a solid camera with almost every feature you will need. I've owned it for almost 2 years and the only complaint I have is that it needs a flash or it is almost useless indoors, so be prepared to buy one and carry it around. It also lacks date imprinting if you're into that. It is a great camera though and is otherwise pert-near perfect!

      5 out of 5 stars I love my Pentax.......2001-03-21

      I love my Pentax ZX-M. I bought it a little over 2 years ago because I was a beginner and thought I should start with a manual focusing camera and also because it fell into my price range. I've loved every bit of my camera. It's easy to use, takes great photographs, is light enough to carry around your neck, loads film very easy, and has understandable features. One problem I've had is finding a lense that will fit my camera. From what I understand is that I need a lense with a K mount and those have been a little difficult for me to come by. And another problem that I found is the bulb attachment was a tad bit on the expensive side [all because it was electronic]. Other than that, I love my Pentax. It's definately a great camera for beginners!
