Great quality almost a stolen price.......2007-03-31

I just bought this for about $190 at the local PX. I am impressed so far. I was going to buy the GS180, but for the sale price I would be crazy to pass this up.
SO far the low light is much better than a single CCD. The video playback is quiet compared to a few other camcorders that record the motor noise onto the tape.
I plan on buying an extended battery and a tripod today at the same sale.
I will use this camcorder mostly for home videos of my son and vacations we take around Europe. I look froward to using this camcorder a lot!

Beware of support / Warranty on this Camera.......2006-05-14

I bought this camera in January and have been very happy with the performance. Bang for buck, you really can't go wrong.

HOWEVER, please look at the warranty on this camera before you buy. Panasonic has 12 months warranty - but the FINE PRINT says that after 3 months you, the consumer have to pay any service charges. Now we are into May, the camera mangles my tapes continually, and I have to pay for labour charges to get this fixed on a camera I have barely used and is still under warranty.....

Panasonic does pay for parts - which are of course virtually free to Panasonic.... You will then need to send the camera away to a random 3rd party that may or may not fix the camera, and may or may not charge you a fortune for labour.

Seriously sucks.....

Easy to use, competent camera .......2006-03-26

Having just finished a half-hour video documentary using the Panasonic GS65 means I've seen the good and not-so-good. First, let me say that viewed via LCD projector on a giant screen, the color and image quality were satisfyingly rich. And I found the joystick controller terrifically easy.

Along the way I racked up hours of interviews. The principal problem I found was a basic one rather than a Panasonic one: shooting with a bright background surrounding the face of the interviewee - backlighted - rendered uncomfortably dark faces. Still, I think better cameras (I had a top-of-the-line Sony for 6 years) are less severely affected by this common lighting situation.

The good news for amateurs who need to rescue unintentionally-silhouetted footage is that today's software will allow you to boost the brightness in a scene as you edit. I use iMovie HD on my eMac and it proved an effective tool for tweaking both audio and video.

I found the GS65's mic input and hotshoe to be essential for my interviews. I used an Azden clip-on mic with 9v-powered transmitter and receiving units and was very happy with my audio. And, by the way, I hope you realize that audio is one of the most difficult factors in bringing home a watchable video.

One last bit: I noticed a bit of extra headroom on every shot despite composing tightly. I suspect that allowance needs to be made for a discrepancy between the view provided by the viewing screen and the camera's actual capture.

I'm afraid the lure of Better Video via the 3-chip technology was only partially realized. Thank goodness the GS65 cost less than $400.

Serious amateurs (skateboarders, teachers, etc) probably ought to save their money for a higher quality unit.

Great Camcorder for the money.......2006-03-02

I bought this camorder around 3 months ago and so far I am very happy with it. First off let me say that I am a complete amateur when it comes to camcorders. I did a lot of research online though before buying this particular camcorder and saw nothing but positive reviews and for a 3 CCD camcorder I only paid $400 for it, which is the same as a good 1 CCD camcorder. I have a 20 month old baby and I use it primarily for home video footage. I was able to take it out of the box and use it very quickly. I keep the setting on 'auto' most of the time and that works just fine for me. The picture quality is excellent, the colors and vibrant and the camcorder is easy to use. I read a lot about camcorders not performing well in 'low light situations' and this camera does pretty well, even though I do notice that when I shoot video in my basement (which is not very bright) the picture is slightly grainy. However when the room is bright or when I am outside the picture is incredible. The zoom is not great but I am not shooting more than 10 feet away anyway, so that doesnt bother me. I am going to buy a video light and see how that improves my indoor video. Overall, I am extremely happy with this camcorder and highly recommend it.

blurriness.......2006-02-25

I have purchased the pv-gs65 and everytime I use the camera with autofocus it makes everything blurry and only stays in focus for about 3 seconds. I returned my camcorder and got another one (pvgs65) and I am still having this problem. everytime i have used the camera i have to use manual focus.

If anyone else has had this problem or knows how i could get this fixed please email me or post another review.

Ok, this CD player is great, it's soo cute, and you'll fall in love with it as soon as you put a cd in it. You should buy this CD player if you love listening to music more than anything. I love this CD player, but I wished mine worked better. Mine dosn't work so well because I'm a clumsy teen, and either me or one of my friends are dropping it all the time. But it's still great, I want to buy another one.

Product Description

Heavy-Weight performance in Feather-Weight package They said it couldn't be done, but like so many other times in recent history, Thermalright accomplishes the impossible, while leading the way in innovative and spectacular design and performance! While the XP-120 is Goliath in size, it properly utilizes a 120mm fan to cool not just your CPU, but also your motherboards MosFET's and Chipsets under its enormous wingspan.Constructed with lightweight aluminum fins, the XP-120 is 150 grams lighter than our venerable veteran the SP-94, that's a weight loss over 27% (Atkins would be proud of us). By using aluminum fins, the XP-120 did not just merely reduce HSF body weight, but they also take full advantage of the higher specific thermal capacity of aluminum as the XP-120's weapon against the thermal dissipating energy produced from modern and future performance CPUs. Our Heatpipe construction was also redesigned to eliminate any gravity effect and to unleash the capability of the XP-120's performance to operate at 100% in any direction you mount it. XP-120 is also the first Thermalright product to work well with either suck/blow fan orientation, resulting in less than 1°C in performance when tested at Thermalright's in-house lab with a 110 W heat source, truly impressive for any CPU HSF design. Designed with eXtreme Performance/Proficiency in mind, the XP-120 is Thermalright's statement or call to arms. Our outright challenge to Thermalright's air-cooling competitors to keep up and come up with good, logical thermodynamic designs and products, and stop thinking of adding more mass to their "performance" products.

With more power than most of us had in our PCs less than 20 years ago, the TI-92 Plus graphing calculator is the machine of choice for students and engineers both at the desk and on the go. It comes with over 500 KB of memory and software for working through algebra and other mathematic problems quickly and easily.

With the TI Graph Link accessory (not included), you can connect to computers and even download software upgrades. Solve linear and nonlinear equations, use the Pretty Print feature to see equations in textbook format, and work with 3-D surface graphs in real time. The QWERTY keyboard is rugged and easy to use, the 128 x 240 screen is easy on the eyes, and the calculator comes with a durable shell to protect its face when you're traveling or in the field. Additional accessories can turn the TI-92 into a mobile data-collection station, but it's just as useful at home.

Students beware: Some professors and teachers discourage, or even ban the use of calculators like the TI-92 in their classes, so make sure it's OK before you buy. Once you're set, the manual is clear and straightforward--you'll be programming in no time. Ultrageeks will love the assembly-language option, but the rest of us can get by just fine with the regular interface. The old timers might still cling to their slide rules, but anyone who needs a calculator for school or work can see why the Texas Instruments TI-92 is so popular: Its versatility, power, and portability give you the number-crunching power of a computer no matter where you are. --Rob Lightner

Great buy if you can find one cheap.......2007-04-24

Now that the vastly superior Voyager is out, this calculator should come down in price (theoretically). While I think it's ergonomically superior to the Voyager, it's tragically lacking in Flash memory (which the Voyager has in spades!).
The 92 Plus' ergonomics literally allows you to crunch numbers at speeds that to non-QWERTY users would be unthinkable. Like I said, if you can find this calculator for $80 or less, it's a steal. Otherwise, go Voyager and you will never look back.

thanks for the calculator...
calculator was good as new one, even though it was used one and right now I am using this calculator for all my college maths and science calculations. I would really like to thank you Paul...for such calculator....and for your kind co-operation for shipping twice due to my fault providing wrong address and not charging shipping charge twice...

Never a better caluclator in existance.

Used it all thought Calculus classes and Computer Science. It does everything. Fast, smooth, pretty print flawlessly and more memory then a herd of elephants. Even does 3D graphing excellently. Spherical trig? not a problem at all and fully graph it, slice it up and zoom in.

Also a few sites on hacking the TI-92 Plus that you can google for anyone intrested.

Greatest Calculator Ever!!.......2006-06-16

I am not too happy that TI stopped releasing operating system updates since it's basically the same as the 89 and voyage 200. Other than that, its awesome. The QWERTY keyboard and function key layout is good. The large screen is good. It takes AA instead of AAA batteries so it lasts longer. Pretty print, symbolic manipulation, algebra, and calculus... just awesome. It also does a lot of stuff with units which has been very helpful in several of my enigneering courses.

I'm sure the capabilities are wonderful. That's why I bought it. But, it was so difficult to use - because I couldn't see what was on the low contrast (even with adjustment) display - that it wouldn't have mattered if it had outclassed a Cray. I couldn't program it without getting a headache from eye strain.If it had a decent display, it would be great. Without reasonable input and output display, it is just a piece of junk!
