New OEM Verizon HTC Incredible 2 Shell Holster Combo w/ Kickstand

New OEM Verizon HTC Incredible 2 Shell Holster Combo w/ Kickstand
  • Shell Holster Combo

This is the same product Verizon wanted to sell for double the price. Fits my droid inc 2 perfectly and gives it a little more protection without much bulk. The holster works fine, easy to remove but not so loose that it will drop out if turned upside down.

Just what I was looking for and at the right price. Verizon store wanted $25 for this and I got this for under $10 including shipping. Any way I can lessen what I pay Verizon is a good thing!

First for the price you can't beat it. Fit extremely well. The holster seems a little flimsy but does the job. The only time the phone has inadvertently come out of the holster has been in the car with the seat belt pushing on it.

Bottom line; I'm glad I got it.

Want New OEM Verizon HTC Incredible 2 Shell Holster Combo w/ Kickstand Discount?

I purchased my original phone case/holster with kickstand from my phone carrier and paid a lot more money for it! This product is brand new and exactly what I was looking for to replace my broken one. I feel like I have a brand new phone now because the case looks so nice! It really protects the phone well and the kickstand option is great for watching videos or even just chatting with the speakerphone on or using bluetooth. I love that I have my phone clipped to me all the time and I can't even feel it or tell it's there. I used my first case for almost two years; it's a great product and you can't go wrong with this purchase!

This works just the same as the one for $30 in the phone store. It is great protection for the phone.

I love the holster's clip for my belt or purse strap or I can carry it in my pocket or purse without

the holster, but still with the protective case on the phone back and sides.

The only problem with the original phone store one was the kickstand on the holster.

It had little tabs to hold it in the track. They were fragile and I think this will be the same.

BoxWave Leather Clutch Apple iPhone 5 Case - Synthetic Leather Fashion Wallet Case with Detachable H

BoxWave Leather Clutch Apple iPhone 5 Case - Synthetic Leather Fashion Wallet Case with Detachable Hand Strap Wristlet and Card Slot Holder - Apple iPhone 5 Cases and CoversI bought this for my daughter to use on her vacation cruise. The magnetic clasp erased her room card and credit card. Kind of defeats the purpose of the clutch. It might be ok if you just used your drivers license phone and cash but people don't really carry cash and to have to have a credit or bank card reissued is problematic.

ViewSonic 3DV5 Pocket 3D HD camcorder with 5M FF Lens

ViewSonic 3DV5 Pocket 3D HD camcorder with 5M FF Lens
  • Pocket 3D/2D HD Camcorder to capture 2D/3D still images and videos
  • 2.4" 3D LCD panel with LED back light, 5 Mega-pixels, CMOS 30 frames per second for video
  • USB Plug for easy access to PC/NB and recharge, Instantly enjoy 3D playback in Red-Cyan format on regular PC/NB
  • Intuitive interface to instantly upload and share favorite videos on YouTube 3D in Red-Cyan format
  • Supports most 3D HDTV with Side by Side format, Supports SD/SDHC slots

I think the previous reviewers of this amazing camcorder don't know how to use this camcorder. If you really wanna see the amazing quality of this camera then go to yout*** and type in viewsonic 3dv5 and see for yourself. This camcorder is basically same as Aiptek 3D camcorder then how come aiptek has good review and this not. Problem is with the users and not the product. I would like to request here that please don't give bad name to a product if you don't know how to use it. Thanks

Since this camera is the same as the aiptek 3d camera and it had great reviews after the firmware update, I tried it on the viewsonic. I downloaded the aiptek 3d firmware update from the UK site and it applied to the viewsonic just fine. Still has the viewsonic startup screen after update.

Without the update the pictures were a little blocked and only seemed like it was a 10 frames/sec. With the update applied the pictures look a little grainer but no blocky and the frames per sec seem around 25 or so which seems to be a big improvement in quality.

I attempted the update because I was not happy with the way it came out of the box and the video it took. Pictures were good video was bad. After the firmware update the video is good and the risk paid off with a good camera.

I recently received the ViewSonic 3D cam, and so far I am very pleased with it. The 3D images it takes are very good, specially for a camera that was less than 100 dollars shipped. The software that ships with it is very nice for viewing the videos or still shots, but if the video is very long, it takes a looong time to edit, even on a decent computer. I've found that if you keep the video length under 5 minutes, it does fine. The camera itself is very easy to use, it's def a point and shoot camera, because there are virtually no user adjustable settings...you can change the time and date, and format the card, but that's about it. But that's not a bad thing; to those people who are overwhelmed by all the cryptic settings on some cameras. The camera also has a digital zoom, but with all digital zooms, you lose resolution the more you zoom. I've found that zooming halfway still leaves a fairly decent image, anymore and it becomes too pixelated to suit me.It's also very important to frame your shots well, a cut off subject too close to the cam causes that headache inducing blur.Battery life is about an hour shooting video, but Amazon has generic batteries for this cam cheap..I bought 2 spares and a multi-use charger for about 14 dollars shipped. Overall, I think this is a very good 3D camera, and a great way to start 3D filming.

Want ViewSonic 3DV5 Pocket 3D HD camcorder with 5M FF Lens Discount?

As others have suggested, this is (at best) a "work in progress" and was not ready for market item. I bet ViewSonic and others ( COME ON FLIP 3D !!) will perfect this to a level where one could get acceptable results. Unfortunately, we are 'not quite there'.

The screen on the back is novel, and can be fun to show-off for short periods of timeyou (somewhat oddly) se INTO the picture, rather than things popping out, you can demo this as you switch between 2-D and 3-D. When not viewed on the camera itself, it is a bargain basement version of red-blue tech that was around 50-60 years ago.

The smallish screen is a conversation starter to be sure, and this might be enough for some consumers this is NOT the type of camera you see 'everywhwere'.

The picture quality is ok on the small screen, but suffers when shown on a computer or TV. The red/blue format is hard to shoot with high level cameras, and requires a LOT of light (well positioned at that!) for the effect to work at all. The grainy result you get with this sort-of works, but only as a novelty and is taxing to watch.

On the plus side(grin), the blurry picture can make your 'cast' appear to be ageless, I suppose. (who needs BOTOX,when you have THIS?)

The camera is plastic and rather bulky, does not particularly feel or look high-end it is a virtual twin of the Aiptek 3D unit ( which is slightly better reviewed..)so much so, that I wonder if they made it, and put the ViewSonic name on it.

ViewSonic is a brand that is trying to re-position itself, much like the Vizio brand has done honestly, most consider ViewSonic to be a club-store/drugstore bargain brand, for the moment. BUT, I see them creating exciting new products such as mid-to-high end tablets, and much nicer TV's. My guess is that this imperfect product was rushed to the market.

In conclusion, unless you must be first on the block ( and some of us are!) for some tech, you might want want to wait until ViewSonic comes out with an improved 2G model.

There are several outstanding 2D pocket cam's out there, certainly from Flip and Kodak. Hope this helps! This is NOT is not horrible cam, but it may not be one that you use every day.

Too bad I can't give this product a -1 star. It can record in 3D for sure and the glasses LCD screen is kind of cool but overall this product is not ready for the market.

Problem 1: There are no easy way for you to watch the 3D content on your 3D TV.

Hook up to your TV using the build in HDMI. It only send out video only signal so your 3D video will have no sound. Photo works better but the device lacks a slide show feature or a remote. Therefore unless you have a VERY long HDMI cable you will need to walk up to the unit to change picture.

Hook up to your TV using the USB port. It works for videos and now you have full sound. But because it does not store the photo in 3D photo standard your TV will have no idea how to display it. So now you can watch video but no 3D picture.

Using it on a PC. Unless you have a Nvidia 3D setup on your PC, the build in software will default to red/blue glasses display. The problem is this camera lacks any AWB function so the color are way off to begin with. The red/blue tint added by the software make the picture/video completely unwatchable.

Problem 2: Picture quality

For 2D it is actually not bad. The picture quality will be roughly the same as a camera phone or low-mid end Flip. Is not great but is passable.

For 3D picture it get a score of "D". The color are way off, picture is very noise but the 3D quality kind of balance it out. However, 3D video is a totally different story. Even with no digital zoom the video is VERY block-ie. The picture will be completely mosaic if you turn on any level of digital zoom.

Orbiter Electronic Listening Device

Orbiter Electronic Listening Device
  • Listento voices and sounds from 300 feet away
  • Digital Recording allows 120 second Playback
  • High Quality Headphones
  • See things up close with viewfinderand 10X prisim

I was impresed by the look and bought this item some time ago. You can only hear what you can hear through your bare ears with this. If you can hear through the walls without it, by placing both your palms on your ear, then you can hear it with this device too. There is simply no advantage in it. If you relly need to get long range listening devices, they are expensive and they're rarely available only on hi-end spy gadget places. Save your money.

Buy Orbiter Electronic Listening Device Now

This is a pretty cool device. You can hear really well with it turned all the way up. You can hear about 200 feet away really well, after that I guess you can hear okay but not as clear as 200 feet away. Birds sound so beautiful with this, but if a dog barks while using it, look out, that hurts your ears! It picks up even your neighbors talking outside. Very cool for kids pretending to be policemen, or just listening to animals in the wild. Fun and easy to use. Requires one 9 volt battery.

Ion iCade Mobile Game Controller for iPhone/iPod Touch (ICG07)

Ion iCade Mobile Game Controller for iPhone/iPod Touch
  • Adds physical buttons and d-pad to your iPhone and iPod touch gaming
  • Rotating cradle allows for landscape and portrait views of gaming action
  • Connects using wireless Bluetooth technology
  • Works with Frogger Decades, Temple Run, and hundreds of games
  • Ergonomic design for hours of comfortable gameplay

I normally don't write reviews, but I noticed that I bought this product before it had any reviews and now it still doesn't. I use this with a jailbroken iPod Touch to emulate old video game systems wherever I want. Playing NES games using a touch screen just doesn't work. This does. Set up is easier in some emulators than in others. It set up without a hitch for emulators for: Genesis, NES, Gameboy and Gameboy Color. It set up easily with the SNES emulator with one caveat; there aren't enough buttons....it is one button short. This means that either you don't I assign the least used button for a game, or you don't assign an "emulation menu" button. The MAME emulator is a pain to set up with this, but with perseverence it'll work. That being said, my iPod Touch 4G doesn't seem to have enough internal power to connect to Bluetooth and run the MAME emulator so it crashes anyway (this is a limitation of the iPod, not the controller).

Overall I gave this 5 stars. The "one button short" issue I described with the SNES emulator is an easy work around. The controller was much more responsive than I expected. I've noticed no lag (except for MAME, which is a hardware issue) and can play some of the more intense button pushing games without any button pushed not registering.

The biggest con with this controller is that the battery case has to be unscrewed to change the batteries, which means if you want back up batteries, you'll need a backup screw driver as well.

One suggestion to the Gomadic Company: publish the connector "tips" the way a user can understand how many devices use the same tip; other recommendation, to Amazon: publish the tip codes that come together with the station, not only the number of tips that come. This has made me order tips that already where in the packet.

to say it works fine just plugged in the nano receiver and in 2 seconds it was working fine. Smooth

scroll wheel and the buttons work fine..It came with a double A battery installed so it was ready to

go right out of the box..I ordered the light silver one because it matches the color of the 11.6" Chromebook.

It's the perfect size for my large hands plus the wife says it's the right size for her also..Video

I was unable to get this device to work on either ATT or T-Mobile. In a careful check of the devices specifications and frequencies, I found that it doesn't cover the frequencies used by either T-Mobile or ATT.

I was able to connect at 2G speeds with T-Mobile, but the T-Mobile system sees the device as a phone, not a mobile hotspot. Thus it is not possible to buy a Data only plan. The T-Mobile forces this device to a Voice and Data Plan, which is expensive and I didn't need.

Perhaps others have had success, but not me.

  • A MUST Have for all Apple iPad 2 / The new iPad 3 Owners!! Available in Black, Grey, Magenta, Pink and Red. Search: rooCASE iPad 2 / iPad 3 Executive Portfolio

My wife searched for ages to find just the right case.

She wanted something sturdy because we have a 3 1/2 yr old and a 1 1/2 year old. This case is sturdy.

She had also been convinced that she needed the ipad to be able to stand up and to have the option of having the ipad propped up horizontally or vertically. This case does both greatand I am sure it will come in handy when viewing photos or movies.

The color is perfect. Was exactly as pictured. My wife LOVES it.

The customer service was unreal. First, the screen protector wouldn't stick, so we informed the company and they sent us a new one straight away. We still can't really get it on correctly (without tiny air bubbles) but it's much better than nothing at all with our kids touching the ipad with messy fingers regularly. Then, we noticed that the velcro was on the wrong side (sticky side on back on part of case attached to ipad, so when it was on your lap it stuck to your clothes). My wife had asked the company about this prior to ordering and had been assured the case they were sending out had the sticky part of the velcro on the portfolio side, but they were wrong. Contacted them and they put a new case in the mail straight away. Great customer service.

Basically, the case is awesome. My wife feels totally safe when she wraps it in the portfolio and tosses it in her handbag. We feel fairy safe when the kids are toddling around with it with just the case over the ipad. Price was awesome. Slam dunk. Thank you!

I have had this for a year and still really like it. I have dropped my I pad and travel with it extensively with no damage to the ipad. Easy to take in and out of case. The only complaint is that one of the zippers broke with about 6 months use. There is a 2 way zip so now I just use the one zipper and it works just fine. I would highly recommend this if you do not mind a bigger and heavier case.

The look of the case is the color that I expected (fushia-ish), and I read other reviews that noted the annoyance of the Velcro circles on the back of the removable iPad case so that wasn't a shocker. But after months of use it is still very stiff, the double zippers open completely (tend to get lost in the creases at times) but even then it doesn't lay flat. I guess if it was real leather this would be a bigger deal -but it's not real leather. At the median price of about $50 I think it's similar to many others on the market .. If you're looking for a cute yet functional case this would fit the bill .. just don't pull out the iPad case a let it touch anything other than jeans!

  • Full 1080p HD Video in Stereo Sound with a dedicated Movie Button and HDMI Output for HDTV viewing

This was a quality purchase and I did a huge amount of research as well as visiting and speaking with reps at both Best Buy and Frys. And I would've actually bought on Amazon had I had more time before going on vacation but I bought it at Frys Electronics.

First off, I did many comparisons to other Canons recently released. This camera has all of the features of the 320HS except for the WiFi and the touch screen. This camera is identical except for those two features. And at the time of this purchase, those features were $30 more on that camera. But I also considered that the possibility of hardware failures increases the more features you add. Also, I didn't want to "miss a moment" waiting for the lag of a touch screen. I wanted to be able to push a button and have the picture snap. I also hate giving the camera to someone to snap a group photo and them not knowing where to touch on the screen. The traditional shutter button was a plus in my book.

As for other features, I did a side by side comparison of the 520HS, 320HS, 310HS and 530HS. I opted for a higher resolution and a lower optical zoom because but with the Digic5 processor because, for casual photos, 5x optical should be sufficient. If I want to get a higher resolution with a greater optical zoom, I will just upgrade to a DSLR camera.

I've also owned Canon's for many years and I was happy with previous versions. With the 110HS I took a couple hundred shots on a recent vacation and several videos in HD. The videos came out great with good sound quality for a point and shoot. And the photos were exceptional for the price point.

Personally I also like the auto focus features and the fact that it seems to calculate exposures and makes adjustments when I don't have the flash on. I did find that turning the flash off gives a much more natural look and with it on my photo subjects seemed to run "hot" so I opted to have it off except in low light situations. The button configuration to toggle the flash on and off is both ergonomic and intuitive.

Additionally, the menus are standard Canon-type, so if you are used to them, you will enjoy a familiar interface. If you are not used to Canon cameras, it won't take long to learn.

Also, the quality of the hardware is good overall, but it does have a sort of plastic-ish feel. Not bad, as it keeps it lightweight, but be aware that some may find it chintzy feeling. I, personally, think it feels light and nice. The battery lasted for about 2 days taking a combination of videos and pictures but I always kept it off and in the storage case (for power conservation) when not in use.

Finally, I do have to admit again that I bought the camera at Fry's Electronics in Burbank due to the fact that I was going on vacation the very next day. I bought the SquareTrade warranty direct from SquareTrade, which I felt was a great deal for about $50 bucks for 3 years. It's the same on Amazon's site or going through them but you cannot get the 2 year warranty if you go through SquareTrade directly and it seems you can get 2 years full coverage on Amazon, which I would have preferred.

All in all, this is a quality camera with a reasonable battery life, good quality pictures and videos with an intuitive interface. I give it 5-stars and am very happy with my purchase.

PS: I also got a SDHC 16 gig card, class 10 and it seems to be pretty speedy. I'd recommend getting one of those or larger as this camera does not include storage. Also look at picking up some sort of a case. I bought a CaseLogic case with a plush interior (from K-Mart for $10) and am happy with that as well.

Buy Canon PowerShot ELPH 110 HS 16.1 MP CMOS Digital Camera with 5x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom 24mm W Now

In preparing for a trip to a remote area of East Africa, I needed a camera that would fit in my pocket. I have a nice Canon Rebel with all the lenses, but the fear was that if I packed that in my luggage it would be stolen, and it is too bulky to fit in my very limited carry on bag. I purchased the Canon Powershot in the hopes that it would take reasonable pictures. My expectations were that it would not do as well as what I had come to expect with my full size Canon.

The bottom line was that I was blown away with the picture quality and functionality of the camera. I was shocked at the brilliance, contrast and sharpness of the images. I took several thousand pictures on the trip and did not get one bad shot.

Also due to limited space in my carry on bag, I was not able to take a separate video camcorder. I was pleasantly surprised with the video and sound quality from this small unit.

Very rarely have I been as pleased with a product as I am with this one. It gets my enthusiastic recommendation!

Read Best Reviews of Canon PowerShot ELPH 110 HS 16.1 MP CMOS Digital Camera with 5x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom 24mm W Here

I originally purchased as a gift the Canon PowerShot A3400 IS 16.0 MP Digital Camera with 5x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom 28mm Wide-Angle Lens with 720p HD Video Recording and 3.0-Inch Touch Panel LCD (RED BUNDLE) which included the red camera, a case, and a memory card.

Instead I ended up purchasing for her the Canon PowerShot ELPH 110 HS 16.1 MP CMOS Digital Camera with 5x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom 24mm Wide-Angle Lens and 1080p Full HD Video Recording (Silver) and returning the A3400.

Having been a Canon fan and owner for many years, since my first Elph, here were my reasons.

The 24mm wide angle zoom combined with 16.1 MP, DIGIC5, 1080P video, image stabilization, and 5x optical zoom, along with a great array of Canon special effects make this an unbeatable package in a Canon PowerShot Elph.

The 3-inch LCD is nice and bright at 461,000 pixels. It is pocket-sized at 3.67 x 2.24 x 0.79 in.

Overall, this camera produces snappy, bright, colorful shots in a surprising variety of lighting conditions, all in a tiny little package. It has fun effects like Toy Camera, Miniature, Sepia, and Black and White.

The Elph 110 HS records video in HD 1080p at 24 fps or 720p at 30 fps.

Who should get it:

* If you like to shoot in low light. (see note below)

* If you want to shoot HD video in 1080p

* If you want a wide angle lens, this one has a 24mm wide angle lens

* If you'd like a Super Slow Motion Movie Mode that records video at high speeds to allow playback in slow motion.

* If you want that "real film" feel this one supports 24p movies

* The Elph 110 HS has a high resolution LCD screen

Battery life:

* Battery life is not the best I've seen this camera is rated by Canon to get 170 shots out of a battery -your experience may vary if you are shooting video. You may want to keep a spare battery on hand.

A note about photos in low light:

At first glance, the images appear to be good in low light. And for MOST purposes, it IS good in low light. But if I zoom in at an image to look at the details, I can see that finer details in the image are missing at higher ISOs. I use Photoshop though, so I zoom in really large on an image. Expect some detail missing if you are shooting in low light at higher ISOs. But for most general purposes, this camera will do fine in low light.

Some other cool features of this camera:

* Color Accent You pick one color to accent in your picture, and leave the rest of the picture in black and white. You pick out the color that is present in your scene before you take the photo. Everything in your photo that is, say, the color red, will show up as red, and everything else will show up as black and white.

* Face ID Detection Allows you to keep track of 12 faces (grouped as babies, children or adults), which you "register" by recording them with the camera. You can then search for photos with these people in them. For parents with babies, if the camera recognizes your baby is smiling, it will take 3 photos in rapid succession instead of a single shot. It has the ability to detect if your toddler is sleeping: if the camera detects this, it will turn off the flash and silence the shutter.

* Super Slow Motion Video Recording great for recording video of sports events. It records at 120fps or 240fps and plays back at 30fps which gives the effect of slow motion. It only records at 640x480 or 320x240.

How it compares to other Canon Elphs:

The Elph 110 HS is very close to the Canon Elph 320 HS, except the Elph 320 HS has a touchscreen, wifi and a larger viewscreen. The Elph 110 HS has a slightly faster high-speed burst mode and is a little lighter.

The Elph 310 HS has an 8x zoom and has better macro. It can shoot at 3.5 fps continuous shooting vs the Elph 110 HS's 2 fps. The Elph 310 HS has DIGIC4 whereas the Elph 110 HS has DIGIC5. The 110 HS has the better 24 mm wide angle lens.

The Elph 520 HS has 10.1 MP, a 12x optical zoom, and a faster 1/4000 shutter speed than the Elph 110 HS. But it has the decreased MP and it doesn't have the wide angle lens of the 110 HS. The Elph 520 HS's aperture is also wider at f3.4, so it doesn't let in as much light.

The Elph 100 HS is slightly cheaper than the Elph 110 HS and has 12.1 MP and DIGIC4, slower shutter speed at 1/1,500, and about half as many dots on the LCD screen; however, its continuous shooting mode is 3.4 fps versus the 110 HS's 2 fps and in high-speed burst mode the Elph 100 HS is 8.2 fps versus 5.8 fps. The 110 HS has the wide angle lens; the 100 does not.

What's in the box:

* PowerShot ELPH 110 HS

* Battery Pack NB-11L

* Battery Charger CB-2LD

* Digital Camera Solution CD-ROM

* "Getting Started" Guide

* USB Interface Cable

* Wrist Strap

What you will need:

* Camera case, such as the Caselogic TBC-302 Ultra Compact Camera Case with Storage

* Memory, such as the Transcend 16 GB SDHC Class 10 Flash Memory Card TS16GSDHC10E

* A memory card reader or memory slot

Conclusion:

Overall the Elph 110 HS to me is the best point-and-shoot that Canon offers as of this writing that meets most needs at a reasonable price point. One could also consider, depending on what you are looking for in a camera, the Canon PowerShot ELPH 100 HS Digital Camera with 4X Optical Zoom or the Canon 320 HS. The A3400 is another good value if you can find it on sale, especially the "red bundle" (red camera, case plus memory card) which is currently being offered. Good luck in your quest to find the right camera for your needs.

Want Canon PowerShot ELPH 110 HS 16.1 MP CMOS Digital Camera with 5x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom 24mm W Discount?

I purchased the Canon ELPH 100 HS camera last year to try out the Canon HS System. I was impressed with the relatively clean-looking images that can be taken in low light, compared to the noticeably noisy images taken with my older cameras. However, when I zoomed in on parts of the images to look at details, the images were soft and lacking the detail I wanted. The ELPH 100 HS also did not have an optical zoom for video only a digital zoom, and only if the still image aspect ratio is set at 4:3. I considered getting the ELPH 300 HS, which had a 24mm wide angle lens and which did have optical zoom for video, but I decided to go for the models with the newer DIGIC 5 processor, which Canon described as follows:

"The Canon HS SYSTEM lets you take bright, clear photos in an even wider range of shooting situations. Beautiful low-light shots are possible with minimal noise and maximum detail in highlight and shadow areas. The system is the result of two technologies brought together in PowerShot cameras: a high-sensitivity imaging sensor, which is able to capture more light; and the DIGIC Image Processor, which actively reduces noise with high-speed image processing. The 16.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor in the PowerShot ELPH 110 HS digital camera incorporates advanced light reception technology that enhances sensitivity. The DIGIC 5 Image Processor provides a major boost in noise reduction, expanding the usable ISO range to an amazing high of ISO 3200. The Canon HS SYSTEM takes the frustration out of low-light shooting, delivering clear, blur-free images."

Based on the representation that the DIGIC 5 processor "provides a major boost in noise reduction," I decided to pre-order the ELPH 110 HS at $249 on Amazon.com. the 310 HS has a longer zoom lens range, but starts at 28mm and did not have the 24mm wider angle that I wanted. The 110 HS is also available in black, whereas the 100 HS and the 310 HS did not have a black model. The 310 HS also has the DIGIC 4 processor, not the newer DIGIC 5 processor that provided the "major boost in noise reduction." Then I read the review by PC Magazine:

"I used Imatest to measure the sharpness of photos captured by the Elph 110 HS, and the results were actually quite good. We consider a sharp image to be one that contains a center-weighted average of 1,800 lines per picture height, and the 110 HS exceeded that--recording 2,189 lines. In this regard the camera ran circles around the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH27 ($229.95, 2.5 stars), a camera that only managed 1,548 lines.

High ISO performance was another matter entirely. We consider a clean image to be one that contains less than 1.5 percent noise. The Elph 110 HS was only able to keep noise under this threshold through ISO 200, a surprisingly low setting. That said, it only registered about 1.6 percent at ISO 400 and ISO 800, so it isn't going to produce terribly grainy photos at higher ISO settings. That's the good news. The bad news is that the camera applies some pretty aggressive noise reduction to hit even these just-ok numbers. Detail is slightly diminished at ISO 400, but you can still make out textures and fine lines in the image. At ISO 800 it's bad, and at ISO 1600 it's pretty terrible--any semblance of texture is gone from your photo by that point. The Canon PowerShot Elph 310 HS does a much better job both in terms of image noise and preservation of detail--it keeps noise under 1.5 percent through ISO 800, while managing to do a great job with image detail through ISO 400. At ISO 800 it's not that bad at all, although at ISO 1600 the 310 HS is also a victim of some heavy-handed noise reduction.

. . . .

The PowerShot Elph 110 HS is a good compact camera, but not a great one. Its lens is sharp, but Canon's decision to cram 16 megapixels onto a tiny sensor results in noisy images at higher ISO settings. The camera attempts to counteract this with noise reduction, but only serves to kill detail in photos at higher ISOs. This won't be a problem on smaller-size screens, but if you want to share your photos on larger LCDs or prints, the lack of texture and detail at higher ISO settings will be noticeable.

Canon also turns out to be its own worst enemy here--if the PowerShot 310 HS wasn't available for a mere $10 more, the 110 HS would be easier to recommend. The 310 HS, which earned our Editors' Choice award for midrange compact cameras, features a nearly identical design and a more impressive 8x zoom lens. It does have fewer megapixels and its lens doesn't provide the extra-wide 24mm field of view of the 110 HS, but when you consider the noise reduction that the 110 HS requires to shoot images at ISO 800 and above, you really aren't losing much in terms of image quality when shooting in anything but bright light."

This review was disappointing apparently, instead of producing a "major boost in noise reduction," the DIGIC 5 processor in the 110 HS was noisier than the DIGIC 4 processor in the 310 HS. Now the question was whether I should cancel my pre-order of the 110 HS. I put off the decision, because the "release date" for the 110 HS was not until March 31, 2012. On March 30, I noticed that the price had dropped by $20, so I decided to cancel my pre-order. But then I saw that my order of the 110 HS at the original price of $249 was labeled as having been shipped, so it was too late to cancel. [UPDATE JUNE 30, 2012 -two months after the release date, the price of the ELPH 110 HS has dropped by $50 or twenty percent -it does make my decision to pre-order the camera and not cancel the pre-order in time look pretty bad -that will be the last time I pre-order from Amazon.com a new Canon camera model. UPDATE AUGUST 5, 2012 -four months after the release date, the price of the black ELPH 110 HS has dropped by another $30 or a total of $80 or thirty-two percent from the original $249 that I paid! If I had known, I would have waited four months to save $80 or thirty-two percent.]

Since receiving the 110 HS on April 2, 2012, I have been using it as my everyday carry camera it is as thin and light as my 100 HS. The images taken in bright daylight look fine to me. The images taken at higher ISOs do look a bit noisy, but they are sharper than the images taken with my 100 HS. When I zoomed in on the images in the camera and on the computer, I could see more detail, even in the images taken indoors. So there still is the trade off between sharpness and noise on the balance, I prefer the additional sharpness that I get with the 110 HS, even though there is more noticeable noise. In addition, the 110 HS provides the wider 24mm angle and provides optical zoom during video.

Unfortunately, the 110 HS is the same as the 100 HS regarding the limitation on the use of digital zoom digital zoom is only available at the 4:3 still image aspect ratio, while I prefer to shoot at the 3:2 still image aspect ratio to match the 4 X 6-inch prints that I usually order. I was surprised to find that the images taken with the digital zoom looked better than the images taken at the maximum optical zoom and cropped on the computer to match the magnification of the digital zoom, so now I set the camera at the 4:3 still image aspect ratio with the digital zoom turned on in case I want to take quick snapshots with the digital zoom. I compared images of a FedEx truck taken through an office opened window with the digital zoom of the 110 HS and with a 70-300mm (at 300mm or the 35mm equivalent of 450mm) lens on a Nikon D5100. The image taken with the D5100 was less noisy and sharper than the image taken with the digital zoom of the 110 HS, but all of the letters and numbers on the side of the truck could be read in the digital zoom image taken with the 110 HS, except the Grumman name plate on the side of the truck, which could be read only in the image taken with the D5100. I was pleased to learn that I could take usable photos with the 110 HS when I am not carrying the DSLR and zoom lens with me.

If you are looking for a thin, light, and not too expensive [UPDATE -especially at the $169.99 price as of Aug. 5, 2012; on Nov. 29, 2012, the prices on Amazon.com range from $129 to $179 depending on the color of the camera] everyday carry camera with reasonable sharpness, with a lens with the 24mm angle of view at the wide end of the zoom, and in the color black, the ELPH 110 HS may suit your needs. I decided to keep the 110 HS, which is my fifth Canon compact camera (but the first one in black). The 110 HS is a good compact camera that is my current everyday carry camera to have handy for quicky snapshots of various things and people, but, as PC Magazine said, it is "not a great one." If images with lower noise are desired, there are other camera models around this price range and size that should be considered and, of course, there are more expensive cameras with bigger sensors that will provide images with lower noise.

I'd previously had the IS1400, and loved it -so sleek -but it was co-opted by a family member. Figuring this was a sign from the cosmos that I should update for an upcoming trip abroad, I checked out tons of cameras, and almost went with a similar Panasonic that had just come out. In any case, the 110 won out for the simple reason that it boasted not only terrific specs (HD video and a healthy pixel count for photos) and was truly pocketable, but because it did NOT have a touch screen. Many people had commented negatively on the absence of dedicated buttons for accessing menus and prior photos, and I have to agree with them: you don't want to be futzing with a touch-screen just to quickly access a capability that a dedicated button would instantly allow, especially in strong daylight.

The photos and video I took (over 2000 so far) in full daylight have been nothing short of stunning, much better than the already-terrific IS1400. If this is your main use, don't hesitate. Photos in modest lighting were also quite good, due to the new sensor and specialized Low Light setting. Night photos were again better than the last generation, but not nearly so good as a camera designed for that capability (e.g., the S90-95-100 series).

Even though the camera is tiny -you can carry it in your pocket and literally forget it's there -there were a couple of very minor drawbacks. First, it's somewhat boxy in shape; the IS1400 was incredibly slim, with rounded edges. The 110 is very thin, but entirely rectangular, with squared-off corners. Second, the battery lasts for about 200-300 shots. This is sufficient for lots of situations, but not if you cannot recharge it daily, or even more often; I took along a spare (easily obtainable for 1/5 the Canon price from multiple vendors), and am glad I did. Lastly, the screen isn't touch-capable. For that, it seems you'd need to give up the dedicated buttons, which I absolutely didn't want to do. All very minor, as I said.

If you're looking for an idiot-proof, truly pocketable camera that takes first-rate photos and HD video, you won't be disappointed. Just buy an extra battery and try to get as much ambient light on your subjects as possible.

Epson LabelWorks Standard LC Tape Cartridge ~1/2-Inch White on Espresso (LC-4NWT5)

Epson LabelWorks Standard LC Tape Cartridge ~1/2-Inch White on Espresso
  • Over 16 feet of tape (5M)
  • Features a split-back design for easy peeling
  • Durable, hard plastic casing for safe storage

They do exactly what they're supposed to. The split backing peels off easily and the labels go on with no problem.

Buy Epson LabelWorks Standard LC Tape Cartridge ~1/2-Inch White on Espresso (LC-4NWT5) Now

I use this with my Epson LabelWorks LW-300 Label Maker (C51CB69010). It is a very nice black on white tape. The backing peels very easily. The tape itself seems to be pretty waterproof. I have used it to put my name on plastic waterbottles, and the tape stays on even after I put the bottles through the dishwasher. This would probably also work well for people who leave their kids in daycare and have to put their name on bottles, tupperware, etc.

The tapes also peel off of must hard surfaces without leaving any residue. I have some file cabinets that I use these on and I can easily pick off the labels (after many months) without leaving any marks whatsoever.

30 feet is a nice length much better than the 9 foot starter cartridge that came with the Label Maker.

This product works as advertised. It makes nice labels, and the back is easy to peal. I just don't feel like the price represents a very good value. That is a big price for something not much more than a role of tape. I am sure they charge what the market will bare, but I am not satisfied with the value I am receiving.

Other than that, the labels work well.

I was dissappointed that there was no clear seal strip OVER the lettering like the Brother P-Touch.An oldie but goodie...still works...circa about 1990, I think....that makes it about 23 years old....These Epson letters smudge....at least on the starter cartridge it came with...black on white......Only three stars because of that.....sorry. ....Hobbiehubbcapp.

I went with Epson instead of Brother because of the reviews. I'm glad I did. No waste of tape between labels.

Socket Mobile Serial I/O CF Card with 16550 UART

Socket Mobile Serial I/O CF Card with 16550 UART
  • Works in the CompactFlash slot of Pocket PCs, Windows CE-based PCs, and Handheld PC Pros
  • Acts like a Window COM port
  • Compatible with external high-speed modems
  • 115.2 Kbps baud rate
  • Includes a removable cable with industry-standard DB-9 connector

Socket Communications keeps bringing the handheld market some of the lowest power consuming PCMCIA and CF devices around, and the Serial I/O CF card is no exception! I use it primarily on my HP 200LX palmtop when I need an extra serial port for a mouse, and it has almost no noticeable affects on my battery life! My friend borrows it to connect his HPC (which doesn't have serial ports) to his cell phone whenever I'm around. He should buy his own already! And of course, it's small enough to keep tucked away in your carry bag unnoticed just in case of an emergency.

Overall, this is a good product, but I do have one suggestion to consider. I have purchased both the ruggedized and non-ruggedized version of this product, and I am satisfied with both. The non-ruggedized model works well, but it requires the user to be more careful/gentle than you have to be with the ruggedized model. The difference between the two is the non-ruggedized version has a extra connection where the cable meets the CF card, and allows you to disconnect the CF card from the cable. The ruggedized version does not have this connection, and is built more sturdy at this point. If you have no reason to disconnect the CF card from the cable, I would suggest buying the ruggedized version.
