User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars The best PMP on the market.
First, I want to clairify that I say the zune HD is not the best microcomputer(itouch) but that it is the best media player in its field. While in some ways the zune HD competes with the itouch it more specifically targets the rest of the mp3 player market.
The touch screen is just as sensitive as a G1 or iphone would be but its 3.3″ OLED (organic light emitting display)screen gives it beautiful video playback with true black and beautiful color, although the screen is a little on the small side. Its browser works fairly good and can render pages correctly on most websites, (gizmodo, Engadget,politico,ect..) and will hopefully only get better development with time.
HD radio increases overall quality and signal strength of FM radio for those who are die-hard FM listeners, and the few games and apps. that are available are of the highest quality and FREE. ON the software side the potential uses for the zune pass as well as great podcast integration and mixview and smart dj round out the best music experience of any service available today.
The build quality is top notch and the glass, aluminum construction make the device light but strong. It has a unique brushed aluminum feel thats unique to zune. Aside from the screen this thing could take a heavy fall on its side or back.
The optional dock also makes it a great media center and playing HD 720p content from the device is very nice. The interface is smooth and videos look great. Wireless sync is very handy also.
Overall this is a well rounded device that incorporates, radio, video, podcasts, and music into a small and lovely device. Anyone who isnt strongly craving an apple branded device should look into the zune community because its unlike another music experience (itunes, rapsody, ect) that I have tried before. While the zune HD isnt the computing powerhouse (apps, games) that the ipod line is, the promise for future applications, browser support and rich multimedia abilities make it a strong contender. I bought this thing on the 15th and I Im never looking back.
5 Stars Outstanding
This device is wonderful. I have to admit that I have never owned an IPOD of any sort, but I have used friends IPODs and Phones and in my opinion this is a superior device. Every single aspect of the Zune experience is fantastic. I’m not going to go into detail on each feature, it has been done and they are all correct. Do not listen to the negative reviews that were copied and pasted from an IPOD fan site, check out YOUTUBE, other reviews on here, and make sure they are independant. There are fanboys from both sides who will say anything for their company. There are more than enough positive reviews of this device to convince you that they are not all biased.
I love my new zunhd but since I and stationed in Japan there are alot of features I can’t even use because of the country restrictions. I can’t use the HD Radio, or rent movies, but even without those features It’s still great. I can’t wait till I get back to the states and try them out. My fiance is deployed to Afghanistan and I’ve ordered her one as well. She wants it for watching movies and playing games cause she doesn’t have a laptop. She’s planning on getting the zunepass to have all the music she wants.
Bottom Line: If you want the best media player with the best service, this is it.
5 Stars EXCELLENT
Got this yesterday. Let me tell you ive had a great experience with this product so far. The excellent design and small feel makes this an excellent touch screen to own. The interface is absolutely beautiful. After owning several generations of Zune’s this is by far the one to own. With the Xbox intergration coming later this year, it will only become a superior product.
5 Stars Best Zune ever!!!!!!!
Wow!!!! I am speechless with this Zune HD. It is by far the best Zune that Microsoft has come out with. I love everything about it. What i like most is the visualizer it shows after a while. It displays the background picture of that artist and the info on that song. Awesome!!!!! I am really satisfied with my Zune HD. The only improvements it needs are the apps and a better browser but I’m sure Microsoft will soon have an update to improve it. So far my Ipod Touch will be collecting dust because now my Zune HD has replaced. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
5 Stars Excellent PMP
Everything about this release shows that the Zune (brand) has now matured. The 4.0 software has much needed features, and is even more fun to use than the last version. The player itself is like a quantum leap from the previous generation Zunes. It’s fair to say that the Zune can now compete with the iTouch.
Pros:
OLED – movies/games/navigation are all extremely vivid….even the music with the cover art and scrolling info are a nice visual touch
Apps – even though the offering is meager right now, it won’t be long before some great games/apps start appearing on the marketplace.
HD Radio – this to me is still a must have for a PMP, especially with the ability to identify a song and purchase via the marketplace just by hearing on the HD Radio
Browser – while it’s not the latest IE, it’s still great to be able to browse the web via the same device
Navigation – the quicklist, the drill-down screen views, and the natural touch movements make this very easy to get used to
Cons:
Left button media control – this is actually harder to press than I originally thought, and this button comes in handy….it’s not bad placement, it should just be either raised or as wide as the device itself
Screen size – I watch movies when I travel, and I wish the screen were just a tad bigger. The Zune80 had a good movie viewing screen.
Memory – Right now I have many pictures/podcasts/mp3’s and I can only fit 5~6 movies. On the older Zune I had everything plus was able to fit an additional 30-40 movies. Would’ve been nice to offer a memory card slot, this would be a huge competitive advantage.
In any regard, this is far exceeds my expectations and so far I’m completely satisfied.

5 Stars Great qualitey of DV Tapes
I always re order this tapes from Amazon because they have the best price and the quality is outstanding on SP mode. I would Highly recommend this product and I use it with my Canon Digital Camcorder.
Written by: Josef Holzer
1 Star Wrong product, unlcear product descriptiom
Never owning the type camera as I was given as a gift, the product I order appeared to be the type of tape for my camera. When I received it, it was the wrong type of tape. Company had no policy for exchanges nor a phone number someone would answer.
5 Stars Sony Digital video tapes
I received the DVC tapes in good time. I was pleased with the tapes and their cost was quite acceptable.
5 Stars No complaints
Product works as advertised and video images were beautiful. I think this is the standard MiniDV videocassette and I’m happy to keep using this product rather than paying an arm and a leg for a ‘higher type’ quality MiniDV. This product will suffice for the average Joe unless of course you’re Steven Spielberg.
4 Stars Works fine for basic home video
I have ordered these a few times. So far they have worked fine for me. I am just using them for basic home video recordings. But so far, so good.

5 Stars Even more than what T hoped for…
I decided to get this tripod because I really needed one but could not afford to buy a high end $200us type.
I am more that please, it’s sturdy, well built and all the parts are highly adaptable for any situation.
I love the fact that the top can be detached to change the camera position from landscape to portrait
without having to rotate the camera and therefore scratching it.
The levels really didn’t make a difference for me but I’m sure that for most people would, also the legs
have a good grip so you can set it pretty much everywhere.
I is a little heavier that what I hoped and does not folds as small and I expected but this is all due to
the fact that, again, it has a better quality than what I though it would have.
Overall, this is an awesome deal for the price!
5 Stars Great Product
I’m very pleased with this tripod. It’s extremely simple, lightweight, and handles everything I need. When you lift it and hold it, it seems delicate and very breakable, but as long as you take care of it, you will be very pleased with this product.
4 Stars Good for the price
So the first thing to remember about this tripod is how much it costs. It didn’t cost much at all, as tripods go, so we can’t bash it and say it was a rip-off or that it sucks. It is actually perfect for me. I take it on road trips in the back of the car and it is great. I am a bit of a youtuber and it works awesome for shooting videos inside and outside. I just use a small digital point and shoot for both stills and videos. This is no good for a professional or for an abusive/harsh environment. But, for that matter, if you use a tripod that much (i.e. professionally) you are probably not going to even look at a $30 tripod. This thing is great. I don’t have to set my camera on books or anything anymore!
4 Stars Opteka 70″ Full Size Tripod
Nice, well build very good price. Good hight no need to bow down especialy when using binoculairs.
5 Stars You can’t beat this tripod for the price…
This tripod is light weight and very portable. It is solid and easy to use. This price is right and the quality is good.

1 Star Expensive disposable camera
Bought Dec 2008 – died Oct 2009. Comes with 90 day warranty but only an offer to retrieve videos after that and no repair option at all. Unreliable product, even more unreliable customer support. Stick with manufacturers who have a stake in their product – this will be a short-lived company with only a little longer lifespan than their cute but shoddy product!
5 Stars Flip Micro HD video recorder
Works very well for its size. Give good images on computer and software makes it very easy to create movies and share either by email, internet or social networks.
Charges quickly and battery has long life.
5 Stars Simple with Quality
This digital recorder has to be the easiest product to use in its class. The picture quality is above the standard of any MPG producing device at the price that it was purchased. The best part of it is that there are no accessories required to ever be bought in support of this device. Even the most computer illiterate will be able to use the on-board programs to conduct minor edits and send videos to friends and family. The down side to this easy-to-use software suite is that it is not very powerful and will not give the wiz-bang results that the more savvy require. Overall, a great deal for anyone looking for an easy solution to get self-made videos on to your computer in a quality that is good as the old tape recordings.
5 Stars Great product! Love it! Perfect for new parents. 
Great product! Love it! Perfect for new parents.
Fits in a pocket. Only need to know 2 buttons. Super easy to plug into computer and upload videos. Fast, convenient and quality. Can’t wait for a version that takes still photos in addition to video.
1 Star Clever idea; terrible quality
I normally don’t write reviews this bad, but this product really deserves a bad review…
I received this Flip MinoHD for Christmas last year. The concept is great: an iPod-like device that records HD video. When it works, it does this admirably. I don’t think the image quality quite looks HD (grainy, and blurry), but it’s more crisp than I expected from shuch a small lens. The touch buttons are finicky, and sometimes you can just lightly touch them like an iPhone, but other times you have to press down firmly as if pushing a regular button.
A couple months after I received it, the thing crashed completely. It won’t turn on, and my computer won’t recognize it. I tried all the reset techniques proposed by the company and others found online, and none of them work. It’s a fancy paperweight now, and it’s outside the mfg’s 90-day warranty.
In all, I got about 30 minutes of video from this product before it crashed. Future buyers beware.

4 Stars It is a good case
It is light and beautiful product and it seems to provide some water protection. The only downside is that could be a little thicker considering it is an item that you buy separately.
4 Stars Good for what it is.
This is a nice, attractive case that fits the Webbie HD snugly, leaving only enough room to squeeze in a few flash cards on the side. The material has a plastic/rubber feel and a soft sheen, probably giving the case a bit of light water resistance. The padding is sufficient for what it is but will not protect the camera as much as I would have liked. (Perhaps OK for a 2 to 3 foot drop.)
The only serious issue I take with the case is that it has a Velcro belt strap. A clip would have been better since I would have liked to leave it dangling from my jeans pocket instead of wearing it up high on my belt. On the other hand, it’s easier to secure it to another piece of luggage, so it makes up for it I guess.
4 Stars Excellent
Great product, high quality.. could be a little bigger to hold some of the cords, too
5 Stars Well Made
Very nice case. Fits the MHS-CM1 very well. I was actually pleasantly surprised when I received this case. It’s well made, has a smooth zipper and adjustable handle/loop. It’s a good value.
4 Stars webbie case
The case is cool looking and seems durable but it is a little tight for the camera. No wiggle room at all hard to jam in there

5 Stars Fantastic Camera!
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3KEVYUGI4HFDC I don’t know much about photography, but I am so pleased with this camera. I made this video with the Sony DSC-HX1 and was delighted with the results. I started experimenting with still shots and found that quite easy to understand. I wanted to try the video feature, so I made this video of myself playing the piano in my home. When I played it back I could hardly believe the results…the video quality is simply outstanding. I am extremely pleased with this camera and plan on trying many of the other features because it has a lot to offer. Anyone who buys this camera should be very happy with it.
5 Stars The best Camera
This is the third HX Sony camera I own, I have always like the inclination on the Lents before and the screen now the image quality is superb, and the new features are just great, it is smaller than their predecessors which makes it great for traveling and you don’t lose all the features of a big professional camera, I have taken some pretty amazing photos with the panoramic feature and it is really easy to use, the camera is beautiful and ergonomically well design.
5 Stars Love This Camera
Bought this camera two days before taking a trip to Egypt and with no time to read the manual or “play around” with this camera I still managed to take some amazing photos. As much as I hate to say it, the easy and auto functions did a better job of taking photos then the manual settings did (due more to operator error then anything). I am sure once I get to learn the nuances of the camera that will change. Two real cool settings are the twilight setting as well as the anti-blur setting which are amazing for taking pictures of something moving at a high rate of speed. I found that with a little planning and a little luck I was able to take incredibly clear pictures from a moving automobile at over 120 kph (about 70 mph). It worked much better and much faster then the burst method of taking pictures. The anti-blur and twilight settings take a “burst” of 6 photos and combines them into one amazingly clear photo. Also the zoom is incredible. I could take pictures of things from such great distances and they still come out clear. I also used the zoom for a macro shot of some wildlife and the pictures looked like the shot was taken from inches away instead of from many yards away. This is a great “bridge” camera. Meaning that while it might not be a DSLR it is as close as one can get in the point and shoot category. One last side note, I watched someone take an amazing photo with what would be a similar camera but DSLR, while I was amazed by the quality of his shot, I was more amazed by the fact that it took him nearly 2 minutes to “set the shot up”. I handed him my camera and said just push the button. The pictures were identical and he asked me where he can get one like it when he goes back home. In summary this is probably the best all around camera that can be bought for a reasonable amount of money.
5 Stars Love my camera
I am enjoying the ease of use of this camera. I love hikes and taking the panoramic shots and they are absolutely beautiful images…I’ve posted them on my Facebook and people comment that I could make my own calendars and posters. The video is very good and easy to use. I am not expert in photography but everything is easy to find that I feel more comfortable to try out the other options. I’ve wanted a camera with a great zoom and this one sure has it. I’ve been able to get fantastic shots – the camera fits right in the hand so it is very easy to hold. It is a bigger camera – not anything that can slip in a pocket – but if you want fantastic zoom and quality pictures you have to sacrifice the camera size. I hike with it and it is light and has not been in inconvenience yet especially when I see the quality shots I get. Best I have had yet.
5 Stars great purchase
This camera really worths the amount spent.
Its very easy to use, so if you are not an expert, you will still be able to take great pics.
