Recording, The Next Generation.......2007-07-08

With all the hype of getting the next wave of electronics, we're only thinking about getting HDTV's. While that might seem like the only thing we need to change, we would also need to change our DVD and VCR's as well. The new signal, ATSC is what we're going to have to go into in all our electronics, as of 2009. Although it isn't as much of a hastle if we have HD in cable or other services like Direct TV. Sadly though, there are some of us who are unable to afford the services, and have to rely on just the antennas. Fortunately, there are new waves of DVD recorders that are capable of the new needs.

The Sylvania ZV450SL8, is a DVD/VCR recorder that takes full advantage of the new digital tuner, ATSC that is compliant, at a convient price. You can playback your favorite DVD's and record your favorite shows onto DVD's. Not only that, you can also dub your favorite shows from your old VCR tapes, and copy them onto the DVD discs. It is simple, and easy to operate, and you can easily set it up, without too many problems. You can record your favorite shows on DVD in either the standard Video mode, which is compatable to all DVD players, or the specialized VR format, that you can easily use to edit commercials and explicitive content from your certain movies.

Sadly though, like most DVD recorders, there are a few disadvantages with this DVD recorder Sylvajnia made. The first one is that you cannot playback certain DVD's that are in the DVD+RW and +R capable. It also doesn't playback Blu-Ray or HD DVD discs, because they are both new formats that aren't completely standard yet. They also aren't compatable in any of Sylvania's DVD recorders. The second problem deals with discs recorded in the "VR format", or specifically displayed "RW Compatable". Although you can easily record onto these discs and finalize them, they really aren't compatable in most DVD players, unlike the Video format. You'd have to look at other DVD players and specific brands like Zenith and JVC that are specifically capable of playback and recording in "VR mode". Otherwise, it might damage other DVD players.

Still, Sylvania does make some excellent DVD recorders that do deliver not just in price, but in convience. I absolutely recommend the ZV450SL8 a whole lot. It records great High Definition TV, at a affordable price. It delivers great quality and convience for anybody who is looking into a new way of simple recording, that is worth a single push of a button.

An Excellent Product.......2007-12-23

This compact external FireWire hard drive has performed flawlessly as a backup device. I use it with Mac OS X Leopard's Time Machine application to make hourly backups of my files and it never skips a beat. I'm thrilled to have purchased it.

very useful,lightweight,and dependable.......2006-05-09

I've been using this hard drive for over 2 years with no problem. I travel for a living so it has been through a lot of abuse. It actually outlived 2 powerbooks that haven't been able to handle the wear and tear. It also survived 2 waist-height drops.
The small size and light weight make it ideal for my lifestyle.
The dual firewire ports make it convenient to daisy chain to my ipod.
Definitely recommended!

Just what I needed for Backups.......2005-08-13

I learned the hard way about the need for regular backups. I'm using this drive to back up my entire computer on a regular basis. It's big and fast and, so far, absolutely plug-and-play dependable.

Great little drive.......2005-02-21

I've had one of 20GB versions of this drive for a long time and I love it. Small, very quiet, and I've never had a problem with it. I'm thinking about getting a bigger one, though. I use it with a Mac PowerBook G4, which has a six-pin connector, so mine draws power from the computer just fine. As for Dustin's frustration, it's not really SmartDisk's fault if you don't know that a four-pin connector won't supply power (that's the purpose of the extra two pins).

I keep having to buy more accessories! GRR!.......2004-08-27

This seems like a nifty cool little lightweight drive... the price is great for a reason though. The drive comes with nothing but a 6 pin to 6 pin firewire cable, and an install CD.

That meant I had to go back out and buy a 6 pin to 4 pin cable for another $29.99 so that i could plug it into my laptop. So I finally find one locally and go get one.

THEN, it turns out that the drive is no longer bus-powered when it's plugged into a 4-pin port, like the one on my laptop... so now I'm expected to buy yet another $29.99 for an 'optional' AC Adapter so I can finally try using this drive. I ordered from Amazon so I could get the drive right away, in 2 days expedited shipping... so I got it, and now 3 days later I'm still having to buy more stuff to find out if the drive even works.

If these things are necessary to operate the equipment, they need to either include the accessories, or make it CLEAR that you have to buy these things before you use the drive.

NOT COOL.

Product Description

Sigma 100-300mm f4 EX APO IF HSM is one of several EX-Series lenses. This telephoto zoom lens provides a large constant F4 maximum aperture at all focal lengths. The use of Apochromatic design and 4 SLD (The Special Low Dispersion) glass elements (two SLD glass elements are utilized in the front lens group and two in the rear group) for full correction of chromatic aberration and providing a high level of optical performance. The AF drive for Sigma SA, Canon and Nikon cameras is equipped with silent, responsive and high speed HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) as well as fulltime manual focus. A removable tripod mount is provided with the lens. This lens incorporates an internal focusing system, which eliminates front lens rotation, allowing the use of a Perfect Hood and easy to use circular polarizing filter. Since focusing and zooming do not change its overall length, this lens is easy to hold and use. It is also possible to use this lens with Sigma 1.4x EX and 2x EX Apo Tele Converters to make ultra tele-zoom lens. The lens materials used in this new lens are lead and arsenic free ecological glass.

Sharp, Colorful, Awesome Bokeh, Heavy.......2005-11-23

Sharpness: 9/10
Focusing speed: 9/10
Focus accuracy: 9/10
Bokeh: 9.5/10
Color: 9/10
Weight: 7/10
Construction: 9.5/10
Value for Price: 9.5/10
Comparable alternatives: not many at this range. The closest one I can think of is the Canon 70-200m f/4, which only goes to 200mm. Overall, this Sigma is a winner and the only problem I have is the weight. But, its an internal focusing lens, so it doesn't grow longer. Build quality is excellent, sharpness and bokeh are OMG. In short, its an excellent lens for the price.
