Amazon.com Product Description

The HP Pavilion zd7260us notebook isn't just a PC, it's a portable audio player, DVD player, digital media center, and TV all in one. With a super fast 3.20 GHz Pentium 4 processor with Hyper-Threading technology, an 80 GB hard drive, and 512 MB RAM, it can handle nearly everything you throw its way. It features the HP TV/Personal Video Recorder to watch and record live television, and a combo CD-RW/DVD+RW drive so you can record to your favorite media. Plus, the expansive 17.0 inch SXGA+ high definition widescreen integrated display will let you watch DVDs, video, TV, and view photos in bright, crisp, realistic color.

The Basics

Hard Drive: An 80 GB hard drive has ample room to store your digital photos, audio, and video files, and handle all your day-to-day applications.
Processor: The 3.2 GHz Intel Pentium 4 processor features Hyper-Threading technology, and it has a 512 KB L2 cache. Hyper-Threading helps a PC run multiple applications at the same time, which enables the processor to execute two threads (a part of a program) in parallel, boosting performance. This results in more efficient software performance (such as faster reaction times in gaming applications) and enhanced multitasking.
Memory: 512 MB DDR SDRAM (in two slots) speeds up the processing of applications--even games, digital audio, and digital video software.
CD/DVD Drive: The CD-RW/DVD+RW combo drive can record to DVD and CD-RW media, and can write CD-RW at 16x and rewrite at 10x speeds.
Keyboard & Mouse: It has a notebook keyboard with scroll bar, integrated numeric keypad, and touch pad.
Display: The 17.0-inch SXGA+ high definition widescreen display with HP BrightView technology is ideal for watching TV (with the integrated TV tuner) and DVDs.

Customer Reviews:

I Hate This Laptop.......2005-10-16

I have had this laptop for over a year now, and at first I thought it was the coolest thing in the world, but now I see it is nothing but a big pain in the butt. There are several design flaws. First, the charger cord keeps pulling out the little prong from the inside of the laptop that makes them connect. This has happened twice to me and it takes about two weeks to get repaired. Second, the speaker part of the laptop should not be in the front because it gets SO dirty from your skin cells inevitably getting in the tiny little holes. They should move the speaker to where it's not being touched or make the cover for the speakers removable for cleaning. There is no way to clean it, and the holes are too small to even poke a needle through it. It always looks disgusting. Last, there is some kind of short in screen connection, because A LOT of times when I open it, I can hear the noises and I know that the system is on, but the screen is black. The battery when fully charged lasts barely two hours, and not even that if you are using CDs or DVDs. I have owned 3 HP PCs before this laptop and never had any problems. It's cheaper and less of a hassle to just buy PCs for everywhere you go than to buy this laptop!

DVD burner.......2005-09-20

I loved this notebook and used it almost exclusively for making dvd's of my trips and other events but now I find out that you can't purchase 2x blank discs from most places and HP does not have a solution to use the new 4x discs. So based on that my notebook is not so great anymore.

Nice.......2004-07-17

Visually stunning (better than my comparable desktop) sharp display, good speed. I like the full keyboard if only because it feels more like typing on my normal machine - my hands do not feel cramped at all using this machine.

Not a fan of touchpads, but this one seems pretty good. I use a mouse anyway.

Very quiet machine, good design. Battery life is not spectacular and the AC adapter practically glows with the amount of power it uses, but you get what you pay for. Widescreen display is gorgeous. Might be a tad big or heavy for some people.

Plug 1 or 2 pairs of headphones (not included) for private listening--perfect for keeping the kids happy in the backseat while you listen to a CD or radio up front. A vehicle DC power adapter helps you conserve battery power when you're on the road, while electronic skip protection minimizes viewing and listening interruptions (4 seconds for DVD, 45 seconds for CD, and 120 seconds for MP3 CD).

Product Description

Photographers in the know agree that the FAST CAP is a must have. This unique product from OP/TECH USA is lightproof, waterproof and dustproof, thanks to its integral semi-"O" ring seal.

Customer Reviews:

Great idea, but don't buy it.......2006-04-07

Cap is well made and a great idea. The lid is on a hinge that just flips down and so you don't have a lens cap dangling on the end of a leash. However, there are 2 major downsides and they are the reason I am returning the cap to the seller. First, the threads are not long enough to secure it to the threads on my camera. The threads start to catch, but there are not enough of them on the product to hold it secure to the lens threads. A little bit of pressure on the lens cap is all that is needed to pop it off. The second drawback is that the front of the lens cap ring is not threaded to allow the addition of extra filters or lenses. So every time I would want to add on my polarizing filter or 2x lens, I would have to remove the lens cap assembly to access the threads on my camera. The design on this lens cap does not allow for the addition of extra filters or lenses.

So skip this product until the manufacturer fixes these issues. Its a great idea, but sure needs some refinement to be truly useful.

Customer Reviews:

Note that it needs a cable!!!!!!!.......2006-11-16

Just got it. This is very annoying. Nowhere does it say in the descripton that it needs a cable. Now must order one and pay the extra shipping.

Good for vocals only!.......2006-05-16

The first rule of microphones is that, "No one microphone is perfect for every purpose." Rule two is, "Experiment with different mics in different applications to find your signature sound." I've used Shure SM58's along with their ancestors and relatives back to 1968. I primarily used them for broadcasting and recording spoken word content but I have used (and still do use) them for singing some back up vocals. The SM58 does one thing well and that is vocal performance when used very close to the mouth for public address use. Some people, me included, actually sound better and more comfortable in a live performance setting when using another mic, the Shure SM-57. The SM-58 is a very good vocal mic and for some people probably the best choice. For example, anyone who can not resist putting the mic right up against their lips while singing will probably want the SM-58. People with softer or weaker voices will want the SM-58. The SM-58 is highly directional and has a noticable yet manageable proximity effect (which means the bass increases the closer you get.) This mic does not pick up well from much over 8 inches away. The reason so many singers think you are supposed to shove microphones practically inside your mouth is because the ball type Shure vocal mics require you to get them very close or they don't sound right. On the other hand, the SM-57 sounds best several inches away from the user's mouth and works fine up to 12 inches away. While the SM-58 is certainly the number one professional PA vocal mic, there are precious few other uses for it because it has a colored sound with a prominent frequency response boost in the upper midrange plus a sound source has to be very close before it is picked up clearly. It works ok for conga drums and the like, but the SM-58 is about the last thing you'd want to use to mic a sax or guitar. Personally these mics are not the best for my mic technique or the basic nature my voice, but for some people they sound great. The live vocal mic that works best for me is the Shure SM-57 with a windscreen. However for other people the SM-58 works better. It depends on your voice and what you want the mic to do. If you have a very deep voice, the SM-58 might be the second best choice after the SM-57 which has a better low frequency response. One certain advantage of the SM-58 is the excellent gain before feedback capability. This mic can be turned up louder than almost any other mic without that annoying PA squeal. Another advantage of the SM-58 is that it is still available (at a slight extra cost) with a built-in on/off switch. The SM-58's ball shaped grills are very sturdy and even if you should dent one you can get a replacement which screws right on for about ten dollars. I've seen SM-58's dented, rusty, dusty, smoked up, spit into, with pieces missing and slammed into a hardwood stage with the full weight of a boom stand adding mass to the fall and yet I've never seen but one stop working and that malfunction was due to an on/off switch that got dirt in it. All the pro-line Shure mics are top quality. The pro line Shures also hold their value well. If you buy one and decide you don't like it, you can get about what you paid for it on eBay. I would compare as many mics as possible before buying one. Senneheiser's EVOLUTION mics sound really good too and are worth a look. The SM-58 will be the number one on-stage vocal mic for the forseeable future because most people follow the crowd instead of actually trying out different mics and picking the one that works best for their particular voice. These things are so durable that even if they stopped making them today they'd still be around for another 20 years at least.

Tested and Proven.......2006-05-07

For vocals in a live performance, you just can't beat the rugged, dependable accuracy of the SM58. Just wish the quality of my voice was as good as the quality of this microphone.
