Excellent product - top of the range and well worth the cash. Extremely pleased with it.
Was a little difficult to install on my own given the weight (and therefore quality) of the product, but with the cunning use of an upside-down flower pot I managed to get it into position so that I could attach it to the flange. EXCELLENT product. The last model I had was fitted over 20 years ago, so if this one lasts as long I'll be chuffed. Didn't have an air switch on the last one but decided to fit one, which is SO much more convenient (and safer) than using the wall isolator all the time.
it's HUGE compared to the last one, yet when it's fitted it doesn't take up all that much more space.
When in use, especially running with nothing in it, it's silent. Only makes a slight noise when you feed it. HIGHLY recommend this model - well worth the extra couple of quid.

Catch a bargain now these excellent tablets have been reduced in price
39 of 41 found this helpful It's indeed a shame that HP has discontinued this product. However, the price reductions that have followed mean that as long as you can get your hands on one, they're exceptionally good value for money. The build quality is up there with the iPad2, but now at a fraction of the price. Having had one of these myself, I took it when I went to visit friends, and this review is as a result of me buying them one too! The product is a good size, wth good battery life and a very clear display. Charging the product is easy if you get the optional charging dock - this sets this (and the Pre range of phones) apart from the competition because you don't need to many any physical connections, just rest the device on the charger and forget it. When that happens, various applications can be configured to go into "exhibition mode", so that your photos can be displayed just like a digital photo frame.
Connectivity is taken care of, with WiFi and Bluetooth. Unusually for an American produced product (and unlike some laptops unless the drivers are changed) it has no problem in connecting to WiFi networks using the European range of channels which is a wider spectrum than allowed in the US.
WebOS itself is a brilliant operating system - its future is somewhat uncertain though, due to the recent announcements by HP. It may well be that it's bought by another company and developed further; it may well be that it stays as it is today (and this is a very stable implementation). Alternatively, in time, it's possible that people develop an alternative operating system for this hardware (work on an Android port has already begun).
All in all, this is an excellent product and absolutely no way could I have justified paying nearly £500 for an Apple product equivalent given the relatively limited use/requirements I have for a tablet. This meets them all, and I would thoroughly recommend it.

Affordable, portable, compatible with great results
1 of 1 found this helpful So I was planning my holiday, often thought about a camera but put off by the idea of tapes, disks and the like. Was really interested in a camera that I could either connect to the computer or pop-out the memory card and into the computer to save off my videos. Being realistic, most of the prices put me right off, it wasn't that high-priority a purchase. I started looking at these "generic import" cameras and initially chose the 50z model. On further looking, it seemed that the 120z was a significant upgrade, but without a significant price hike, so I went for that one.
I e-mailed the company to ask if 32gb cards were compatible as it stated 16gb ones were, and knowing that the real threshold was at 4gb (where cards became SDHC) I couldn't see any reason why not. The reply I got was less than useful: "Well you can try it, and if it works, then it's compatible". Gosh, really? :-)
I'm pleased to announce that they are indeed compatible - but have learned to my cost that not everyone on eBay selling 32gb cards is honest. Mine turned out to be a rebranded 2gb card, as that's all that it could write before corrupting the file system, and I'm not the only one having that issue I notice.
The camera performance is very good, although I've definitely seem smoother results since moving down to 720p and upping the frame rate to 60fps. I found it a little too jerky on 1080p at 30fps. I've tried the dual-recording mode, which is useful for uploading quick videos to Youtube etc., but I have to admit that in these days of massive storage, fast broadband and the ability to upload HD into YouTube, it's less of an issue than it was even when this camera was designed.
Best results are in good light - it performs quite poorly in bad indoor conditions, and the white LED on the front is pretty ineffective. Great for outdoor or brightly lit indoor work though.
The controls are pretty easy to use although a pet peeeve of mine is the location of the button to take the picture when in still mode though - it's quite awkward to keep the camera steady AND press this button at the same time. I don't know why the designers couldn't have re-used the Start/Stop filming button when in stills mode. Incidentally the quality of pictures in stills mode can be really quite excellent - tripods or a flat surface can really help in this, as can the ability to take the picture using the remote control. They really are very good results.
All in all, an excellent buy. Once I'd worked out that it was the memory card that was faulty rather than the camera (I lost results after the 2gb capacity, which really peeved me), I really do enjoy using it. It's a sub-£200 camera so if I lose it, well I won't be happy but I won't need to remortgage. The ability to pop in a standard mini-USB and connect it to any computer as a mass storage device means it's infinitely compatible, and I can always stick the SDHC card straight from the camera into my laptop reader and transfer things over that way if I want. The files are in JPG for stills, and AVI for movies - I haven't bothered installing the software that came with it yet, I just wanted to try out the camera itself. I have a NAS at home that I can dump my content onto and play using a DLNA player, so this camera fits nicely in with the strategy and I don't waste time converting between formats.
Excellent buy, for this price I couldn't have asked for anything more. Highly recommended.
