Kodak CX4200 Digital Camera Reviews

The Kodak CX4200 is a 2 megapixel camera with a maximum resolution of 1632x 1232. Its rounded contours fit nicely into the palm and is light enough to be carried in the pocket. The buttons are slightly tacky to feel but are well-placed. The optical viewfinder is at the extreme left, just above the lens, so you have to place your fingers carefully. It has a 2x digital zoom that lets you shoot close-up photos despite the absence of optical zoom. It has a 1.6-colour TFT LCD, but it darkens in the sunlight. The camera has a Video Out jack and a USB port and includes a video con-nector RCA cable along with a USB cable. It has 16 MB inter-nal memory and can accom-modate 20 to 23 pictures at maximum resolution. You can increase the capacity by using
a 64 MB Compact Flash card. The camera supports a wide range of power options with an in-camera charging option through the camera dock, two AA lithium or Ni-MH batteries or one CRV3 lithium battery.
The camera comes with an optional docking stand that also serves as a charging dock. A file transfer button on the dock makes sharing files very simple. The only sore spot is that Kodak did not provide a cover for the camera. In our tests, the CX4200 was able to capture all the details but without the flash, the picture looked dark. In the resolution test, the
image came out hazy. Though the camera has good colour reproduction, the overall image quality is poor. Overall, this camera pro-duces sharp and colourful images when used in well lit
conditions, but if you want clarity and picture depth at high resolution, then this cam-era is surely not for you.
SPECIFICATIONS:
16 MB internal memory, MMC/SD slot, 2 megapixel res-olution, 2x digital zoom, 1.6-inch TFT colour LCD screen, 220 gm weight, JPEG/EXIF v2.2 compression...

Mercury HT 5800R Home Theatre 5.1 Channel System Reviews

Though this 5.1 channel system has a 5,800 watts PMPO, it has only 25 watts RMS for the satel-lites and 50 watts RMS for the subwoofer. The RMS power gives you an idea about the actual sound output that the system can achieve without distortion, whereas the PM PO output indicates the maximum out-put achievable by the system, albeit with distortions. The wires are long enough,and speaker stands and wall mountings are provided as well. One shortcoming is the ridiculously short power sup-ply wire. The system provides good performance and at Rs 7,000, it offers good value for money. The subwoofer is quite powerful and you can crank up the volume with-out experiencing too much distortion. If you’re looking to own a 5.1 speaker sys-tem, but are constrained by your budget, the Mercury HT 5800R offers a decent enough solution. How- ever, if you cannot settle for anything less than perfectsound, give this one a miss... SPECIFICATIONS : Four satellites at 25 W RMS, one subwoofer at 50 W RMS, w...

Mercury HT-4500 Reviews

The HT-4500 is a 5.1-chan-nel speaker set and each of the five satellites pumps out 6 watts RMS, while the subwoofer is capable of 20 W RMS power output. The black satellite speakers are compact and subwoofer. Also, the cable for the front channel speakers isn’t long enough for the speakers to be placed suffi-ciently far apart. The cable connecting the woofer to the soundcard is of the same colour, which can cause some confusion. The speakers give a good surround sound effect with reasonable clarity for a good home theatre experience and can also be connected directly to a DVD player. The performance in the low and mid frequencies is also good. However, the speakers are not built to listen at full well-designed, though a tad heavy. The subwoofer has the volume and fade controls on the front, which makes it dif-ficult to access these settings, as subwoofers are generally placed near the feet, with the front face ideally facing a reflecting surface. Another inconvenience is the power swi...

Che-ez Spyz Digital Camera Reviews

Spyz is slightly larger than a matchbox and comes in sil-ver and metallic blue. It bun-dles a dog tag and an USB cable, but oddly, misses the battery. The software bundle comprises the Che-ez manag-er, Arcsoft Photo Studio 2000 and the driver CD. The manual explains fea-tures such as sound beeps, LED and LCD displays very neatly. The device can take up to 26 photos in the high-resolution mode of 640 x 480 pixels, and 107 photos in the low resolu-tion mode of 320 x 240 pixels. Other features include a timer and continuous capture that turns the camera into a cam-corder. The Che-ez Manager also lets you convert frames into a movie in AVI format. The Spyz can also act as a Web camera when used with the Che-ez Manager or MS Netmeeting. However, some-times the manager does not recognise shortcut keys such as the [Alt] + [F4] combination for closing the program. The interface is also very basic and below par. The price tag may justify all the features of the Spyz, but the management software...
