    Editorial Review

    Weighing in at a respectable 4.9 pounds and featuring an 800 MHz PowerPC G3 processor, a 30 GB hard drive, and 128 MB of RAM (expandable to 640 MB)--plus AirPort wireless networking and FireWire, USB, and Ethernet ports--the iBook connects to hundreds of peripherals designed to fit your life.

    Included is a CD-ROM drive for playing games and music CDs. The 800 MHz iBook ships with a 30 GB hard drive that provides exceptional storage space. In addition, this system comes with the ATI Mobility Radeon 7500 graphics accelerator with 32 MB of DDR SDRAM and AGP 2x support for gorgeous 3-D graphics.

    5-0 out of 5 stars The ultimate computer companion
    As a writer for LowEndMac (http://www.lowendmac.com/), I know my Mac. I've had this comptuer for a few months now and absolutely love it! While it's not my main computer, I use it to take to class and around campus. Paired with an AirPort card it's awesome. For the price, this provides every I'd ever need. The small size is great to take around campus or anywhere, and everyone thinks it's so cute!

    5-0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Wonderful...
    This is my first ever Apple notebook computer and I must say I am terribly pleased. At first I was worried about not having a G4 processor in it, but after recieving my G3 800 iBook and running osX and a few games I must say, I can barely ever discern a difference between this and my imac G4.

    I ordered 256mb of ram with my iBook because this speeds it up significantly. You probably wouldnt notice many differences until you try to run more than one application at a time, then you start to feel a little sluggish.

    This computer is great, I was worried that maybe it was one of the crappy logic board ibooks but nope, the serial number is far newer than the ones that are at risk for bad logic Boards.

    And finally the look of the ibook is seriously cool. I can't wait to go to borders and study for awhile. While everyone else has the same colored gateway laptops plugged into the wall power that borders provides I can cruise with my trusty awesome looking ibook on battery. Also, the power adapter is small, and the thing about people saying the keyboard feels like plastic I disagree with, it is kinda ... hmm, hard to explain, but definitely a plus in my book. Im used to the hard cruching key boards and this one is much less crunchy.

    Also, the 12 inch size is simply the best size for a laptop. Anythin bigger and portability almost seems like a hassle rather than a joy.

    Awesome computer. Dont forget to pick up that extra 256 mb of ram to get it up to 384mb making it much smoother.. actually, completely smooth... Heaven on earth lol.

    5-0 out of 5 stars Absolutely spectacular!
    First thing I should mention: I bought this laptop at a spectacular sale price. I paid $729 for this machine with 640mb of RAM (maxed out) and an Airport card with it. I highly recommend that you do max it out. I played with the 128mb version of this in Compusa and I noticed it to be significantly slower. When maxed out, this machine will run significantly faster than my 1.67Ghz Windows XP desktop in any task you will throw at it. On top of that, the Mac OS is far superior to anything ever put out by Microsoft. It's stable, easy to use, it just works. I have OS X Panther on this and I highly recommend it. I could never live without Expose, Apples far superior answer to the PC bar at the bottom. For those who are not familiar with it, this new feature in Panther will allow you to push F9 on the keyboard and show every window that is open. It will show exactly what is happening in that window at the moment, meaning that if I were to have a video running on it, the video would play on the tiny window as I look for the window I want. I click the window and it goes back to normal, only with that window on top. VERY USEFUL.
    Besides that, this machine is very well designed. The ports are on the side, no more reaching behind to plug it in. Its got a thick layer of plastic casing, yet is just over an inch thick. The 12 inch screen is amoung the clearest I've ever seen, and is suprisingly easy to use. The speakers are just okay, but you don't buy a laptop for speakers anyway. The snow colored design is absolutly beautiful, and is a nice plus. The screen is on a solid bar, not one of those flimsy PC hinges. This is the most solidly built, yet lightest, thinnest, most compact laptops I've ever owned or used. I have had several PC laptops before this one, and this is, by far, the best machine I have ever owned.
    By the way, the battery life on this machine is, to sum it up in one word, unbelievable. Ican get about 4 hours of battery life while watching VIDEOS on this, surfing the web I can get upwards of four and a half or more! The low power consumption of the G3 processor makes this an ultra-portable machine.
    For those who are considering switching. Don't be discouraged by the OS right away. It is something you will need to get used to, but after a few days you will never know how you ever lived without it. I now go back to my PC and just absolutly despise it every second I use it. I have now gotten used to the Mac and enjoy it more than I ever did with my PC. You know what they say, once you've gone Mac, you don't ever go back.

    Well, to sum it up, this machine is perfect. I have yet to come across any sort of flaw whatsoever. Mac has thought this thing through, their attention to detail is amazing. Everything down to the little hook that comes out just as you close the lid to lock it shut has been designed perfectly. This isn't something that has just been scrapped together by Dell or something, this is a powerful piece of computing genius that has been designed for people out to make the intelligent choice for their computing needs. If you're stupid, go the ways of the PC world and conform to the ways of Bill Gates If you're smart, buy a Mac, you won't regret it. I guarantee! ... Read more

    Editorial Review

    This combination tricycle/stroller offers an excellent solution for ambivalent preschoolers who want to pedal one moment and be pushed along the next. As with all Radio Flyer rides, the Voyager is built to last, with a durable steel frame and heavy-duty treaded tires. The trike’s unique feature is its steering and pedal lock that allows kids to either pedal or just sit back and let parents do all the work. For parents’ ease of use, the Voyager has a comfortable stroller-style push bar that adjusts to four different positions, and a snap-on snack tray that holds two drinks and a set of keys. A removable nylon backpack with a waterproof interior is attached to the stroller with velcro, and provides just enough space to carry diaper bag necessities. Kids will love the ringing bell and bucket on the back of trike. Parents will love the adjustable seat and safe turning radius that helps to prevents the trike from tipping. --Cristina Vaamonde ...

    3-0 out of 5 stars Fragile Tricycle
    My two year old daughter and I used the "Ultimate Trike" for a week until one of the steering cables broke. (I could turn only to the right). Big disappointment to spend $80 in a tricycle from Radio Flyer that last one week.

    I visited the RadioFlyer customer service web site (http://www.radioflyer.com/support/customer_service.html) and filled out a "part replacement" form. The next day a Customer Service Representative (Anshu Aul) contacted me and informed me that she will send me a replacement cable for free. She also explained that RadioFlyer made an improvement on the cable to make it more robust.
    In summary:
    Great product (when it work), but shame on RadioFlyer to introduce a fragile product to the market that doesn't represent the brand image (Good, robust, quality products almost indestructible). I hope that the improvement on the cable save the reputation and the performance of this tricycle.

    1-0 out of 5 stars Disappointed with Radio Flyer
    My son received this as a gift from grandma.We thought, being that it was Radio Flyer, that meant quality.Boy, were we wrong.The steering was completely stripped after one use by my 2 year old.I took it back and am awaiting a new Kettler to be built.Hopefully, this one will be better.I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS BIKE!!!Very poor quality.
    I also called Radio Flyer before returning the bike and they offered little assistance.However, at the store it seems to be a regular problem as all of the Radio Flyer trikes that they carried had stripped handle bars.

    5-0 out of 5 stars 2 Year Old LOVES it!!
    We got this trike for our son for his first birthday. He basically just sat on it for the first year and now that he is close to two, he loves it! We use it for walks through the neighborhood and he can now pedal. Although it is hard to steer, we've found it to be great. I highly recommend this for toddlers that are outgrowing their stroller days! ... Read more

    1-0 out of 5 stars Broke the first time I used it
    The first time I used it, I hit it about 20 times before the ball broke off and went flying into nearby woods.

    My Mom had ordered it from Sharper Image.She called them and they said the would replace the ball.They never did.

    I have not found a place to order replacement parts.

    4-0 out of 5 stars Good Tempo Trainer
    I recently bought this product, and I find it a good trainer. <br /> <br /> I've used a much more expensive analyzer at a golf shop, when getting fitted for clubs, and the swing speed shown on this unit is within a couple mph of the golf shop machine. <br /> <br /> The yardage shown on this unit seems to be short, but when one remembers that yardage is dependent on so many factors--type of ball, temperature, humidity, elevation, wind, one's particular physical state on each day--that imo, yardage matters much less in practicing than a consistent readout of swing speed.<br /> <br /> When I bring good tempo to my swing, the result is immediately visible on the readout. Get off tempo, and my swing speed invariably drops. Using this analyzer has helped me groove my swing, and even add a few mph. <br /> <br /> The unit is best suited for teed up shots, as the instructions discourage you from hitting down on a ball as with an iron. And the ball can't be set flush with the "grass."<br /> <br /> Even with that drawback, I've had lots of fun working on my game, with the Golf Channel on, and snow flying outside my Montana living room.<br /> <br /> All in all, I'm pleased with the product.

    1-0 out of 5 stars This product is a waste.
    I don't recall ever being quite as disappointed with a product as I am with the Swing Groover II. Last night I went to the driving range to check some yardages of my clubs, just so I could verify the accuracy of the Swing Groover.

    I was hitting my 5-iron between 180-190 yards most of the time, occasionally hitting 200. My 7-iron was flying about 165 yards. Tonight, I just finished setting up the Swing Groover. My first few swings with a 5-iron produced readings of 133 yards. I warmed up a little more and started hitting the 7-iron. These swings produced readings of 121 yards, with an average of 121.

    This product is designed to indicate swing speed and yardage hit. The yardage is off by about 50 yards, but believe it or not, I think the swing speed indicator is probably pretty accurate. With the 5-iron, it was indicating a little over 70 mph. I've had my speed tested before with the driver and it registered a little over 100 mph, so this number of 71-73 with the 5-iron sounds reasonable.

    I'm not sure if I just got a defective machine or what exactly the problem is, but I'm very disappointed. I'm very inclined to think I just wasted $150.

    My suggestion is to keep looking for other products, because this one is horribly inaccurate. ... Read more

    iRobot Roomba Pro Intelligent Floorvac Robotic Vacuum
    Average Customer Review: 3.5 out of 5 stars
    Kitchen (15 October, 2003)
    list price: $229.99
    US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France

    Editorial Review

    An intelligent vacuum that uses robotic technology to deliver barefoot-clean floors in-between more thorough cleanings, iRobot’s Roomba Pro follows in the footsteps of the original model (the first automatic vacuum available in the U.S.). But it also adds some great new features, including Spot Clean. Selecting this option sets the Roomba Pro spiraling around a small area up to three feet wide, great for cleaning up dry spills or extra dirt. Thirteen inches in diameter and lighter than your average bowling ball, this innovative vacuum will roam a room devouring dust, dirt, pet hair, and tidbits left behind from everyday living.

    Setting up the Roomba Pro for its first sashay through the living room is fairly easy. First, the battery needs charging for at least 12 hours before its maiden voyage; simply plug the AC adapter into any outlet and it will shut off automatically when fully charged. After that, the indicator light’s different colors will show the battery’s charge status. The Roomba Pro can clean two to three medium sized rooms on one charge, approximately 60 to 90 minutes, depending on floor surface. Although it may look more like a Frisbee than a vacuum, the Roomba Pro cleans carpet, wood, linoleum, and tile, transitioning smoothly between those surfaces. It even senses and avoids stairs, and glides easily under beds.

    Next, remove any clothing, papers, cords, and fragile items from the floor. You may choose to set up one or both of the fist-sized Virtual Wall units, which emit a beam to redirect the Roomba Pro, keeping it out of unwanted areas. Set the Roomba Pro in the center of the room, and press the green power button to turn it on. Then select the corresponding button for a small (10 by 12 feet), medium (14 by 16 feet), or large (15 by 20 feet) room. The Roomba Pro plays a few musical notes of greeting, then begins moving.

    When the Roomba Pro starts cleaning, it travels around the floor in a spiral pattern. When its non-marring bumper touches a wall, the Roomba Pro follows the wall for a short time, then crosses the room in straight lines. It repeats this pattern until its cleaning time has elapsed, providing maximum cleaning coverage.

    The Roomba Pro’s breakthrough three-stage cleaning system uses side brushes, two main counter-rotating brushes, and a high-efficiency squeegee to pick up everything from fine to large particles. The particle bin removes for emptying. The unit comes with an easy-to-follow manual and two replacement filters. Additional Virtual Wall units, battery packs, and a rapid charger can be purchased separately. Two D batteries (not included) are required for each Virtual Wall. The Roomba Pro is covered by a 180-day parts and labor warranty. --Rhonda Langdon ... Read more

    5-0 out of 5 stars Love it!
    I love everything about this little dynamo because I hate everything about vacuuming!It's so cute, and even beeps when it is finished.I love how you can use the guides to keep it contained in one area.The only con is that it doesn't do windows!;)

    3-0 out of 5 stars It Depends On...
    It's usefulness depends on a few issues.I have a rapid charger so that helps.I do not depend on this to do my deep cleaning, but it's great for surface stuff.It's also GREAT if you're back is killing you or some other handicap prevents you from using a real vacuum.Mine runs forever and picks up a lot of dog hair, though not ground-in hair.I cannot leave the house and come back and expect it to be done, 'cause it's always getting caught on something (a throw rug or piece of furniture), but works out great if I'm at home doing other chores. It saves no time due to the fact I must spend 15 minutes cleaning out the dog hair once it's finished. But I use it when I'm lazy or hurting and save the cleaning out part for when I'm up too it.

    2-0 out of 5 stars Low power, short life
    Hi,

    The battery in my iRobot Roomba Pro Intelligent Floorvac died after eight months of using it twice a week on hardwood floors.I might consider buying a new battery, but to spend $60 to keep the little guy working just isn't worth it because it won't clean my carpets.

    I was very disappointed when I first got the vacuum.It just did not have the traction to keep moving on my carpet.It would go about ten feet and die.I have a plush carpet that is somewhat thick.I had heard that the vacuum did not work well on heavy carpet, but I thought they meant that it didn't do deep cleaning.I didn't realize that it would not work at all.I wasn't worried about the lack of deep cleaning.I just wanted it to handle the surface dirt and planned to do deeper cleaning using my regular vacuum.

    I must say it worked fine on my hardwood floors and I used it weekly for them.It also seemed to work OK on rugs left on the hardwood floors--even those that were quite thick.

    I'm giving it an overall rating of 2, but the breakdown would be:

    Calphalon Commercial Hard-Anodized 6-1/2-Quart Saucepot with Pasta Insert
    Average Customer Review: 4.5 out of 5 stars
    Kitchen
    list price: $221.00
    US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France

    Editorial Review

    If you've ever suffered a steam burn draining your spaghetti through a colander, you'll appreciate this three-piece pasta set. A 6-quart insert sits inside the saucepan, so when your pasta is appropriately al dente, just lift the insert for instant drainage. The 6-1/2-quart saucepan has a pure aluminum core for fast heat conductivity so the water will boil faster. Because aluminum can dent, warp, or discolor easily, a hard-anodized coating protects the saucepan and increases its durability. The lid is also hard anodized, which means the oxide film of aluminum has been thickened to protect the pan. The insert is stainless steel, so it won't react to food and will retain its shape through a lifetime of use. The set includes a collector's edition recipe card to get you started on your pasta-cooking adventures. While most metal utensils are safe with anodized surfaces, avoid sharp tools, such as knives. For optimum longevity, this set should be hand washed. --Laura Cuthbert ... Read more

    5-0 out of 5 stars Perfect for corn or pasta
    I love this for boiling corn or pasta.It doesn't have the nonstick surface like the 2 1/2 quart saucepan, but I bought this for easy draining and it gets the job done well.

    4-0 out of 5 stars Heavily used in our household !
    I bought this set over a year ago.Although it is on the smaller side, I have to say it is probably the second most used pot in our household (the first being the 2 1/2 qt shallow commercial anodized sauce pan!).It works well for meals for my family of four.I routinely boil 1 pound of pasta or approx. 5 lbs of cubed potatoes for mashed potatoes.I have made soup, chili and spaghetti sauce in the pot as well.It's the right size for enough of these dishes for my family, plus some leftovers to freeze for another full meal.I don't find it as "narrow" or difficult to use as my 8 qt stock pot - the height seems perfect for the width of this pot.

    3-0 out of 5 stars Nice, but small
    This is a nice pot and fits the burners on my stove without hanging over.

    There are two disadvantages:

    1.The 6 1/2 qt. size is barely sufficient for 16 oz of macaroni.An 8 qt. pot with insert would've been better.I know Calphalon has an 8 qt. stock pot and an 8 qt. insert, but they don't appear to offer these packaged together, making a set prohibitively expensive.

    2.Contrary to what Top 100 Reviewer Michela says above, the stainless steel insert does get hot, and you can burn your hands on the insert handles if you're not using towels or mitts.

    Water, aluminum, and stainless steel are fairly good conductors of heat, so all of the elements of this set get hot (which is what you want) EXCEPT for the silverstone handles on the stock pot.

    I have mixed feelings about using an insert.You usually have to dispose of the macaroni cooking water anyway, so dumping the entire contents of the pot into a colander makes sense, rendering unnecessary the insert.

    Also, if you sauce your macaroni in the pot in the traditional Italian fashion, you're not going to want the water in there, again eliminating the need for an insert.

    Alton Brown makes a good point in his new book about getting the biggest pot for making macaroni that you can fit in a cabinet.He suggests going with a cheap aluminum job from a restaurant supply store, because you want it to be as light as possible when filled with water and macaroni.

    As other reviewers have noted, 6.5 quarts is sufficient for 16 oz of macaroni or less.If you routinely need to cook more than a pound, you're going to need a much bigger pot.

    I have a monster 16 qt. Farberware stainless steel stock pot for times like this.It may not be quite as light as Alton Brown's suggested non-anodized aluminum restaurant supply store model, but it will hold up better over the long term and probably didn't cost too much more. ... Read more

Useful for meditation and healing rituals, the chime can be struck in front of the body, then moved from one side of the head to the other for asurround-sound experience. Three polished aluminum rods of different lengths are fastened to a smooth, cherry-finished hardwood base that measures approximately 8 by 3 inches, small enough to keep on a desk or by the bed.

    Editorial Review

    Large enough to roast two Cornish game hens, cook a rump roastwith all the trimmings, or hold up to an 18-pound turkey, this15-by-11-inch roaster is a staple for holiday or family dinners. Partof Cuisinart's Nonstick Stainless line of cookware, this roaster isconstructed of mirror-finish 18/10 stainless steel with a layer ofaluminum encapsulated in the bottom for quick and even heating. Thedurable Xylan Plus nonstick cooking surface in the pan's interiorprevents foods from sticking and helps make cleanup easy. Wide handleson either side of the roaster are secured with stainless-steel rivetsand provide a steady grip so you can easily lift heavy roasts. Thedomed lid offers additional height for cooking larger roasts or turkeysand seals tightly onto the pan to keep meat juicy and flavorful. Aunique steam vent in the lid pops up to let excess steam escape,ensuring that roasts come out perfectly cooked every time. Includedwith the pan is a sturdy lift-out roasting rack, which allows forproper drainage and circulation of heat during cooking. This cookwareis dishwasher-safe and oven-safe up to 550 degrees F. It is covered bya lifetime limited warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde ... Read more

    4-0 out of 5 stars Love This Pan!
    I bought this pan a few months ago based solely on the Cuisinart reputation.I was a bit surprised that it was so thin and light but it hasn't affected the way it cooks.I have used it for everything from a half ham to a gigantic lasagne and have had wonderful results each and every time.If you're looking for a good roasting pan, I recommend this one.

    4-0 out of 5 stars pretty darn good!
    I needed a roaster but found none with a cover in two major stores so decided to order online.I found this quickly here on amazon, and the price is pretty darn good!
    I read all the reviews and own this item for 3 weeks, and used it 4 times.Here's how I think it sizes up:
    DRAWBACKS:
    1-the only drawback I read about was that the rack rusts, and this is very true.I decided to buy the item anyway, as I really needed a roasting pan and didn't think I needed the rack.It is very dangerous to eat rust so I am surprised and disappointed in Cuisinart for this.The rust does wash right off, and I still do use the rack.I'd just recommend removing it promptly after cooking.
    2-i did not see anyone mention that the handles are connected to the non stick bottom and POKE THROUGH TO THE INSIDE.This is a design that I avoid when buying any pot/pan because it makes it harder or impossible to clean.It is so far no problem to clean.

    I love this pan as do the other reviewers.The size is perfect (I roast two large, whole chickens with lotsa veggies around) the non-stick works great, the weight is great, and heats VERY evenly.The cover is domed which is perfect for roasting as you start out with a big buncha meat which shrinks as it cooks.

    I would, despite the drawbacks, buy this again, and if I ever need a bigger one for a turkey I'll be getting the larger sized one for sure.

    3-0 out of 5 stars Scratch and Dent
    Unit just arrived and it seems to be a nice roaster with the exception of 3, sharp dents on the inside of the lid that extrude to bumps on the outside of the lid.

    No wonder these are going for such a good price.Apparently they are scratch and dent stock that should be listed as such.I'm not up for the task of the return and replace process. ... Read more

    Bodum 6-Piece Kenya Coffee Press Gift Set, Black
    Kitchen (01 September, 2003)
    list price: $41.50
    US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France

    Editorial Review

    For the coffee aficionado in your life, give this elegant French press gift set. The press method is considered by many to be the best way to make a perfect cup of coffee, since no paper filter absorbs and removes the essence of the flavor. Bodum’s 32-ounce Kenya press features a borosilicate glass carafe, heat-resistant polypropylene cradle and lid, and a stainless-steel filter. A battery-powered turbo frother is included to whip milk for cappuccinos and lattes. Two graceful glass cups with curved polypropylene handles, two 8-3/4-inch-long stirring spoons, and a plastic coffee measuring spoon complete the set.

    To make coffee with a French press, remove the plunger/top ensemble, add coarse ground coffee to the glass carafe, add hot (but not boiling) water, stir with a non-metal spoon, and position the top and plunger in place. Allow the coffee to brew for about four minutes before slowing pushing down on the plunger. Pushing too hard or too quickly may cause hot liquid to squirt out. The flat lid features two spout covers: one slotted for pouring, and one solid for heat and aroma retention. When holding the handle, hands are thoughtfully protected from the hot glass by a vertical bar of the heat-resistant cradle. To clean, simply scoop out the used grounds and pop the entire unit into the dishwasher. Made in Denmark, the press measures 8-1/2 by 5-1/2 inches and the cups measure 4-3/4 by 3 inches. --Ann Bieri

    Editorial Review

    Enliven your living room and merge your computing with your home entertainment using Samsung's broad, 50-inch HPN5039 plasma flat-panel television. The set delivers brilliant color, extraordinarily high contrast, and high-definition compatibility with HD sources. Its native resolution is 1,366 x 768, and its direct-digital DVI input works with compatible DTV
    The Benefits of HDTV
    Standard TVs (SDTVs) display a maximum of 480 lines using the interlaced scan method, which creates a picture with alternating lines of information.
    Enhanced-definition TVs (EDTVs) display a maximum of 480 lines using the progressive-scan method, which creates an image using consecutive lines of information for a crisp, flicker-free picture.
    High-definition TVs (HDTVs) display a maximum of either 1,080 interlaced lines or 720 progressively scanned lines for the sharpest possible image.
    set-top boxes and PCs. There's also a standard RGB computer input. A built-in analog tuner, a pedestal stand, and a generous array of audio/video connections make setup a snap. Further, the set's widescreen (16:9) display is specially configured to accommodate the native aspect ratios of your favorite movies, either from DVD or from HDTV broadcasts when the set is hooked up to a DTV receiver (not included).

    With a plasma screen you get vivid colors like you've never seen before, extremely wide viewing angles (wider, even, than those of most LCD screens), and easy placement due to a plasma monitor's slim profile--the HPN5039 is an astoundingly slim 3.1 inches deep, perfect for desk or wall mounting (the set includes a convenient pedestal stand, pictured). Brightness tends to be extremely uniform across plasma screens, which are also impervious to the picture distortion and negative color balances that afflict CRT monitors when placed near lighting or sound systems.

    Additional inputs include one HD component-video input (480p/720p/1080i) and one SD component-video input (480i) as well as one each S-video, composite-video, and RF. Samsung's proprietary video-enhancement technology, Digital Natural Image engine (DNIe), performs 3D noise reduction and detail and contrast enhancement for all interlaced (non-HD) sources.

    The also set houses a 10-watts-per-channel audio amplifier for use with optional speakers, such as those in your existing stereo or home theater, or Samsung's matching PSN5030 speakers. Other optional accessories include a wall-mount kit (WMN4230) and a pneumatic floor stand (FS500).

    The set's NTSC two-tuner picture-in-picture (side-by-side, split-screen) grants convenient, simultaneous viewing of two TV programs, and a fanless cooling system ensures quiet operation.

    More about DNIe
    Digital Natural Image engine(DNIe) that could take a signal from any kind of source-not just conventional or high-definition digital broadcasting, but even DVD, Camcorder, PC and games-and turn it into a stunning picture on any kind of screen. The input signal passes through a series of four advanced processes that form the core of the DNIe technology.

    The first of these processes, the Motion Optimizer, is responsible for noise reduction. the visual data are automatically broken down into signal and noise and analyzed through a combined spatial/temporal process. DNIe‘s noise reduction technology permits a startling level of sharpness even in minute details and rapidly changing scenes. Unlike conventional noise reduction methods, the Motion Optimizer combines a motion adaptive temporal filter, which detects and reduces noise in the temporal space between successive frames, with spatial noise reduction applied to the two-dimensional image space.

    After passing through the Motion Optimizer,the visual signal is sent to the Contrast Enhancer. This process automatically adjusts contrast and brightness to natural levels, producing an extraordinarily rich and vivid picture. In scenes of motion or rapid change,a separate contrast value should ideally be set for each visual signal, but this presents great technological difficulties. DNIe’s Contrast Enhancer process has overcome these difficulties by applying over 1 million criteria for contrast and automatically determining the optimum contrast level for any kind of visual data. The Contrast Enhancer can also analyze up to 70,000 local images within a frame to preserve contrast in the smallest details without affecting overall color or brightness.

    The next step in the signal's journey from input to high-quality output is the Detail Enhancer. DNIe's Detail Enhancer uses its own specially developed technology to dramatically improve sharpness just where it matters. The slightly unnatural appearance that results from conventional uniform detail enhancement is re-detected and re-adjusted to produce a strikingly sharp and convincing image. Conventional detail enhancement is based on the artificial amplification of the input signal, but this inevitably produces small areas of noise boost-up and flicker.

    The final process undergone by the input signal is the Color Optimizer. For each scene, the Color Optimizer analyzes the hues of the input signal to determine and preserve the overall level of brightness. The colors are adjusted and improved, without unnatural intensification, to give vivid tones corresponding to the living shades of nature. By calculating the color saturation of red, green, and blue in each scene, the colors are optimized to the shades that the human eye accepts as natural.

    HP PhotoSmart 945 5.3MP Digital Camera w/ 8x Optical Zoom

    Editorial Review

    The HP PhotoSmart 945, featuring an 8x optical zoom lens and a 7x digital zoom (for 56x total), is one of the most affordable "big zoom, big megapixel" digital cameras on the market. Geared for the advanced amateur, it features a 5.3-megapixel resolution, advanced photo features, and a wide variety of manual controls. But it also has such automatic features as an on-camera wizard for getting the best shot, direct printing, and HP's Instant Share.

    Optics and Resolution
    With its 5.3-megapixel resolution, you can snap bright, detailed images with the PhotoSmart 945 that can be enlarged to poster size. It features two resolution options: 2608 x 1952 (5 MP) and 1296 x 976 (1 MP). The Fuji Photo lens has an 8x optical zoom that's coupled with a 7x digital zoom for a 56x total zoom. It has a focal range of 7.6-61mm (35 mm equivalent: 37-300mm).

    Movie Mode
    In addition to taking still photos, the PhotoSmart 945 can also record up to 60-second movie clips with sound at a 288 x 208 pixel resolution. The QuickTime Motion JPEG format offers a limited resolution, which is great for capturing a short movie that can be e-mailed to friends and family, but is no replacement for a true camcorder.

    More Features
    The 945 also includes HP's new, exclusive Adaptive Lighting technology, which balances brightness relationships between bright and dark areas in a photo, preserving gentle contrasts but compressing harsh contrasts. With clear and easy to use "low", "high" and "off" settings, the camera automatically balances shots by lightening specific areas within a photograph.

    HP's on-camera help allows you to access quick and clear guidance on how to take the best picture with the HP PhotoSmart 945 digital camera's wide ranging functions. In addition, its enhanced manual controls allow concurrent photos to be taken through "burst" mode without having to wait for the camera to prepare before each shot. Other available creative controls include aperture, ISO, shutter speed, exposure, white balance, color and sharpness

    With HP's Instant Share feature, you can customize your camera with e-mail aliases and distribution lists of your family and friends. For each picture, you can designate up to 14 destinations, including e-mail addresses, compatible printers, and more.

    Other features include:

    • Large 2-inch LCD monitor
    • Built-in flash with auto, on, off, night, and red-eye reduction modes
    • Print photos directly to select HP PhotoSmart printers and all-in-one devices via include USB cable
    Optional Camera Dock
    The PhotoSmart 945 is also compatible with the HP PhotoSmart 8881digital camera dock, which enables you to easily transfer images to your PC or charge a set of included rechargeable batteries. Cutting down on desktop clutter, this convenient remote-controlled device enables you to easily transfer image files to your PC, print photos, or even view images on TV--all in one easy step

    Storage and Transfer
    The PhotoSmart 945 is compatible with Secure Digital (SD) MultiMedia (MMC) memory cards; a 32 MB SD card is included. When shooting in Best mode (2608 x 1952), you can store 11 images on the included memory card. Images can be downloaded to either a Mac or PC via USB 1.1, which means the camera can be connected to any USB-based Windows Me/2000/XP and Mac OS 8.6 or later computer without installing any software.

    Power and Size
    The camera is powered by 4 AA batteries (alkalines included, rechargeables recommended). It measures 4.84 by 3.35 by 3.35 inches and weighs 13.7 ounces excluding the batteries or 15.7 ounces when loaded with batteries.

    What's In The Box
    This package includes the HP PhotoSmart 945 digital camera, 32 MB SD memory card, neck strap, 4 AA alkaline batteries, USB cable for camera to PC, USB cable for camera to printer, and dock insert for use with optional HP PhotoSmart 8881 Camera Dock.
