Panasonic KX-TG5633W and KX-TG5632M
1 of 1 found this helpful Reasons I bought this model
Reasonable price, compact size, conservative styling, Panasonic brand, 5.8GHz technology
My Opinion after I used it
I have owned it for a few months now and so far I do not regret the purchase.
I bought 2 sets of these KX-TG5633W (1base+2ext) and KX-TG5632M (1base+1ext) because I need like 6 phones between my household and office. I am using 1 base and 3 ext for the household; the other base I use at the office. I found that this model is quite easy to install and use. The features are very adequate. The menu system is very capable. It comes with a monochrome LCD. I like the phone book feature, including ease of data entry and editing. Also the ability to copy entries to other hand sets is really great. You can even download ring tones but I don't use that feature.
It has limited expandability per base; only a total of 3 extensions can be registered per base. If you need more than 4 phones in the house you need to set up more bases. With each base you can add 4 phones.
Battery life is acceptable.
Voice quality is clear but a little tinny, with or without the VoiceEnhance feature. Speaker phone voice quality is good.
Extension handsets can be moved from base to base, just by registering it to the desired base, depending on your need. I thought that was quite important to me.

Pentax 645 Medium Format Film Camera
6 of 6 found this helpful Having owned modern digital SLR cameras, going back to this is like re-discovering the good old days.
The construction of the camera is top notch. I cannot find any faults. It is quite heavy (lighter than my 67ii), solid construction and clean lines make the appearance very appealing.
The operation of the camera is excellent too. It uses the Pentax 645 lens mount system, which upon my examination, is quite an advance mount. It rivals the modern DSLR mounts that have contacts for aperture auto mode. (The newer 645N even has the auto focus mechanism added to the mount system)
The body is a unique box shape, deeper than wide, unlike SLRs. It incorporates a built-in grip with shutter release and an On/Off switch. The incorporation of the grip handle allows me to hand hold it like an SLR, which I thought was a great advantage over other MF box cameras.
View finder is bright and is eye level. It is not changeable. I find it adequate for my kind of work, which is landscape and nature. One corner of the view finder has a red LED display for metering infomation. There is a dioptre adjustment on the eye piece. I have a large eye cup on the eye piece and optionally a magnifying eye piece can be attached to it for work requiring more precise focusing. The focusing screen can be changed for different photographic need.
On top of the camera body is a cluster of buttons and an LCD display to change and display exposure mode, ISO setting, etc. Exposure modes supported are B, M, Aperture Priority and Shutter Priority. There is control for +/- exposure compensation. A stop down lever for viewing DOF is on the right side of the camera body. There is no built-in selftimer on this camera.
A hot shoe for attaching a flash sits on top of the view finder. It has contacts to support Pentax dedicated flash units in TTL mode.
This camera uses 120 or 220 film. There are separate film holders for each type of film. You load and pre-thread the film outside of the camera in the film holder and then insert the film holder into the camera. The film travels vertically instead of side to side. Once the holder is locked, and you press the shutter button, the camera will automatically wind the film to the first position. You are now ready to take pictures. When the last picture is taken, the camera will wind the film into the take up spool. You then unlock the film holder and remove and seal the film. 120 film yields 15 frames and 220 yields 30. There is a mechanism that allows you to make multiple exposures on the same frame for creative purposes.
There are 2 tripod mounts; one on the bottom and one on the left side of the body.
The camera uses 6 AA batteries for normal operations which I find it to be really convenient. You can use rechargeables if you desire. There is a back up button cell battery for keeping settings. This battery is a factory service item, so if you need to replace it, the camera must be sent away. This battery will last for a few years.
The Pentax 645 system has a good collection of lenses and both body or lenses are currently a bargain on the used market. Further Pentax has been touting a Digital version of the camera, so your investment for these lense can be carried forward into the MF digital application.
