Fits perfectly for the W-Series Sony Cybershot, 2008-08-14
Not much to talk about for a camera pouch. I purchased one of these to fit my Sony Cybershot W-130 camera. Honestly, the camera fits perfectly and is just slightly bigger than the camera to make the pouch very portable and fit the camera perfectly.

The pouch is very soft in the inside to avoid scratches to the camera and very comfortable to hold on the outside. Overall the pouch has been designed very well and is definitely a worthy buy. Threes also a pocket in the front of the pouch to add additional camera accessories. Worth my money.

Sony Bravia 26" Digital TV, 2008-08-12
After reading various reviews, I ordered this TV on Sunday by free delivery and received it on the following Friday. Setting it up was a doddle (I am a pensioner). It was recommended to me by my son who had just purchased the same TV. I have a Video and DVD Player from Sony already and am impressed with the quality of their products. The TV replaced a 14" analogue set in the bedroom and I had been looking at various TV's, bearing in mind the digital switch over in my area next year. I am really impressed with the digital reception. I had been told I would need a new aerial to receive digital (I have an indoor aerial)but reception is exceptional. The price was very competitive considering the quality of Sony TV's. I am now thinking of replacing my Mitsubishi 22 year old set in the living room with a similar product. I would recommend this TV to anyone who struggles with new technology. My daughter is now thinking of buying the same set. I am now enjoying the Olympics in style!

Don't bother with the others, 2008-08-06
Bought this along with my Sony DSC-W200 as it has 12.1 mega pixels the size of the images is relatively large so I needed large capacity storage. I have had it for over twelve months now & even when taking it on holidays have not managed to fill it.

I have had no problems with it & would recommend it to anyone with a similar camera or indeed any device that requires storage of large files.

Cannot believe the cheap price, 2008-06-10
Having read all the previous customer reviews I was anxious about purchasing this Sony card.However I noticed it cost £44.99 in Argos and with Unique-estore offering it for £6.49 + P&P I thought 'what the heck'.I ordered it on Wed evening and it was delivered Friday am.Excellent quick service.It is the black Sony card, it looks to be genuine amd more to the point it works very well with my Sony Cybershot camera.I have already downloaded my first photos to the computer.I am more than pleased!!

Very Happy Indeedy, 2008-08-10
Had this for about a week and I'm really impressed with it. Pictures look very good (yet to print anything off mind!)& the x5 zoom is excellent. I was very surprised by the size of this little gem, much smaller and slimmer than I thought. Have had lots of laughs with the smile detect feature(which actually works). Quality of video capture is also excellent.

Only negs are it can take a second or 2 to focus when zooming in & the vertical streaks that appear on the screen during bright settings (a built in feature of the camera)take a couple of seconds to disappear but certainly wouldn't put me off purchasing it (if I hadn't already!)

Overall, excellent camera at a great price.

Consistently reliable and good value tapes, 2008-06-12
I have been using Mini DV tapes from a number of brands since I purchased my Panasonic NV GS-120 3CCD camcorder five years ago. After much experimenting the one brand and tape I now rely on is Sony's Premium Mini-DV tape. It is also very cheap when bundled together - per tape it works out at least half the price that supermarkets and other outlets charge.

Great, 2008-06-26
I brought this camera a little over 1 month ago, and after extensive testing on a holiday to Berlin was very impressed with the features on this camera, only down side is the smile feature! i tied it out, and you need to be grinning ear to ear to make it work! but apart from that it is a good camera. Battery life is very good, and there is an internal memory just in case you run out of space on your memory card, i have a 4gb memory card and have found this sufficent for at least 4 days worth of photos, picture quality is very good as is the video recording. i would recomed this camera as it is light , looks good and packed with features.

It just blows them all away, 2008-08-10
It would be easy to just jump into the anti-Apple corner and send this Sony player up without anything concrete to put it there - but this is not really helpful to people looking for facts.

Initially I was going to buy an older model of this about 2 years ago, but when I found out there were some rather nefarious issues with the bundled software and formats supported I switched to an I-pod at the last minute. This was the beginning of a 'hate hate' relationship with one of the most awful devices made by man.

I had frequent crashes of the software on the I-pod itself, it would randomly do odd stuff. The control of the unit with 'that' dial was just rubbish - especially if you had anything other than the exact required amount of moisture to dirt on your fingers. The top mounted headphone socket had that wonderful 'fill me with water when it rains' design 'feature' to it. On the plus side it had big storage, albeit of the delicate moving-parts HDD variety.

Where the I-pod experience was totally awful was I-tunes. I could start the program and go for a twenty minute jog before the thing had finished scanning my large library on my home PC. It's buggy insistence to keep trying to calculate useless playtime information and download cover art was infuriating. It crossed my mind that by requesting cover art it was telling Apple Central just what I had on my home PC and a TCP dump of the communication taking place pretty much proved it. Then followed weeks of trying to find third party replacements for I-tunes to integrate it with Windows (I gave up with it on my native Linux box as it would not play). After finding expensive plug-ins that corrupted the device from Media Player I finally found a godsend called 'Anapod Explorer' from Red Chair Software. This allowed the basic explorer to i-pod drag and drop needed. Problem is the seeds were sown for me. With the dial being awful (navigation,volume and all user functions being dependent on it, and the sound quality not really being all that I gave the thing to my daughter and hunted for a replacement. Enter stage left this tiny Sony.

After checking reviews on Amazon I found that it no longer had any of those nefarious software issues left over from the great root kit scandal. The box had a bit of weight to it, but after extracting the tiny player this was all down to to the various documents and packaging. I wanted this player to be quick and easy to use without having to put any software on to my computer, and without the need to read the manual. I got what I wanted.

Now, being an awkward customer I run a Linux PC (Ubuntu as it happens). This makes any hardware a bit a of a challenge to say the least. In went the USB lead and presto! It appeared on my desktop as a 'Walkman'. I was able to drag and drop mp3's to it in seconds (yes us Linux users have desktops too - it's not all command lines). It took about 3 minutes to transfer 150 tracks onto the player (all 320kbps I'm fussy). Not the fastest transfer, but considering I-tunes would still be booting I was not put off.

The battery was all but charge out of the box so I was able to test the unit at once. Navigation was simple and a breeze. The layout logical and positive. The display was bright and welcoming and every function was logical without the need to look at any manual. There was no nasty 'dial', just positive buttons. It is also half the size of an I-pod (seriously, it is). I stuck in the included headphones and the sound quality hit me as miles better than the Ipod. On full pelt it did not start suffering from distortion in the output stage. But then it's a Sony init!

My one disappointment came in the volume. It was not loud enough for me and I did not like the in-ear cans that came with it (I'm old school). With heavy heart I stuck a cheap pair of Panasonic cans into it expecting it to get worse, not better. To my surprise the volume jumped up to a level that someone as deaf as me could enjoy.

So after all this waffle and a-b experience comparison, what is the conclusion? It blows the I-pod away. It is out-of-the-box compatible with multiple operating systems appearing as a 'drive' the way it should. The sound quality is awesome, video is crisp if you really want to waste storage looking at it. The build quality feels better, the design over-all is just better by miles.

The tradeoff? Well, of course it does not have masses of storage. But it has plenty for people who rotate their music and want a good on-the-go player without the delicate hard drive to trash when they drop it. In the land of the MP3 player, if you get the basics such as usability, availability and sound quality right you have a winner. A lesson Apple need to learn.
