To kick things off this week, I've got another digital photo frame to cover today, and it's from a brand we should hear more out of, but somehow don't.

Sanyo VPCX1200 Camera Review–It’s Not Much Better Here

I'm really starting to develop a downright Pavlovian response to the combination of words "Sanyo" and "VPC", and every time I see them together I start snarling.  I have yet to encounter a GOOD Sanyo VPC that isn't either bargain-basement crapola or so overpriced for what you get that it's almost a joke.  Sadly, that's ...

Ality ALM1DC Digital Photo Frame Review–Brushed Steel Beauty

It's not terribly difficult to review a digital photo frame, because what you see is eighty percent or so of what you get.  There generally aren't many functions, so most of what you judge is pure looks.  And the Ality ALM1DC digital photo frame is a beauty in its own right. The Ality ALM1DC is a ...

Samsung SMX F34 Camcorder Review–It’s Not Good, Samsung.

I'm not happy. No sir, I am all sorts of not happy with today's review target, because frankly, it's not giving me a lot to work with.  And most of what I have to talk about is entirely negative.  Today I'm talking about the Samsung SMX F34 camcorder, and I am not at ALL happy. The Samsung ...

Panasonic HDCTM15 Camcorder Review–Not The Simplest

I did not have a very easy time with the Panasonic HDCTM15.  I'm not sure why, I was just having a rough time getting the controls down.  Maybe I didn't spend enough time with it.  Maybe I didn't raise it right when it was a little camcorder.  I don't know.  All I know is that ...

JVC Announces New Everio–Five Hundred Bucks Worth

I've had the opportunity to review several JVC Everio camcorders, and I can tell you this much, they're EXCELLENT camcorders.  But a new Everio, just announced a short time ago, just might be the best one yet.

Panasonic SDR H80K Camcorder Review–Lots To Love Here

Granted, the name sounds a little ominous.  The last time I saw "HK" together was in the Terminator series, describing those really big rolling death platforms.  But you can rest assured that the Panasonic SDR H80K will not try and exterminate you and the rest of humanity, but will instead do a fantastic job of ...

HP DF780A4 Digital Photo Frame Review–Looks And Works Great

Normally, HP products can be counted on to do their jobs well and look pretty good while they do it.  I should know--I've been using the same HP inkjet printer for the last five years and it's still running great.  And so, when I got my hands on an HP DF780A4, I discovered that the ...

Kodak S730 Digital Photo Frame Review–Yet Another Great Kodak

You've got to love Kodak's stuff--really, you've got to, it's entirely too good NOT to love.  There's so much to like about this particular model that it fits in so easily with Kodak's entire line of products.  It's safe to say, any time you pick up a Kodak, that it'll be a good piece, and ...

Insignia NS-DPF9G Digital Photo Frame Review-Nice But A Bit Overpriced

I have to admit, the Insignia line of products is steadily growing on me.  I never thought of them as having a quality line of equipment.  Frankly, I never thought of them much at all.  But I'm definitely warming to them, and the Insignia NS-DPF9G is a quality piece. The Insignia NS DPF9G is an LCD ...
