OK, but it doesn't work now.......2007-08-19
This DVR was OK for what we used it for, but now (for the last year almost) it only intermittently records DVDs. it seems to be a heat related problem, and I've done the best I can to separate it from other equipment. It often works in the AM on one or two programs and then quits. This is the second SONY DVR i've had that is heat sensitive to recording and the 3rd overall that just seems to quit after a year or so of service. It's out of warranty and I'm not sure what to buy anymore.
Will not buy again.......2007-06-29
I have had nothing but trouble with this unit and I just bought it last year. We purchased a sony b/c it was compatible with our sony camcorder and now we cannot even burn our information on to a CD.
I will preset the recorder for programs and it will not even record at all. It will only record when you press the record button for immediate recording. Even then it will sometimes only record a portion of the program. I guess it has something to do with the copyright protection I keep reading about.
I have a Samsung recorder and it hasn't given me any trouble. I will not buy this Sony product again.
Exceptionally Unreliable.......2007-05-05
I have many Sony Products -- a television, a minidisc player, an AV receiver, a VCR, etc., and I have to say given my past experience that I still it find it hard to believe that this piece of junk says Sony on it. This recorder is very good at making coasters. Of course, you may not even get to make a coaster because there are times when I have difficulty getting the tray to even come out. I've been in the demeaning position of sitting there and hitting the eject button 10-15 times before getting a response. The motor is working but the door is stuck or unresponsive from day one. The DVDs it does make "successfully" can't be played on any other piece of equipement under any circumstances and the thing sometimes won't even play the DVDs it burns itself. While it used to finalize DVDs in the past, the DVD recorder has essentially decided it no longer wishes to perform that work. The Remote Control is the most awful and ill conceived remote I have ever had the misfortunate to hold in my hand. Key functions are essentially hidden away in a strange compartment. I made the huge mistake of buying the recorder without doing any research only because I have purchased so many Sony products over the years. In any event, this DVD recorder is good if you are looking to burn $200 for no reason and I am utterly over my brand loyalty to Sony and will look to another manufacturer when I finally do replace this garbage. Run fast and far away from this one.
The best DVD recorder is.......2007-03-20
I am so happy with the Sony DVD Recorder RDRGX315. Originally I had purchased the Sony RDRGX330 and was not satisfied because I could not edit out the commercials.
After I purchased the RDRGX315 recorder and started using it I was in heaven. Sony needs to bring back the RDRGX315 because it is better than the other one.
It works. .......2007-01-10
I bought 2 bargain recorders that had to be returned for repairs within weeks. Both had frequent burn errors and were real particular about the brand of disk I used. Some disks were unviewable after finalizing. One recorder broke again right after the warranty expired (90 days) and the other had to be sent back again just before the warranty expired. While it was in transit I bought the Sony and put the "bargain" recorder in a closet when it came back. After 100's of recordings and nearly a year of constant use I have had 2 bargain off-brand disks that would not finalize properly . I have tried -R, +R, -RW and +RW of various brands with no problems. I only wish there was an easier way to name the titles. When it wears out I will get another just like it.

One Touch Happiness.......2007-01-10
This hard drive OneTouch III is so easy to use. It is everything that is told plus more. I never again have to worry about backing up things ever again.
External Backup System.......2007-01-04
Very good product-& it looks cool too. Very easy to set up. The one touch feature makes it very easy to keep your backup current. The system will even remind you if a new item has been added to the main hard drive, that you may want to backup. Very good product!
Maxtor OneTouch III 200GB External Hard Drive USB 2.0.......2006-09-14
Got a great deal from Staples, you can't pass it up for $99 plus free shipping. I saw other sites mention that the software causes crashing, lack of a driver or something, so I did not install the backup software. Just plugged it into a USB port turned it on and selected what files or directories I want backed up by using drag and drop. It's very fast, about 500Mb a second. Great for backing up stuff at work (Win XP Pro), at home (XP Home) and in the basement(Win 2000, Wing 98se).
Buy it for those Digital Pictures and Income Returns, all those MP3 files you paid .99 for. Forget about backing up to CD or DVD.
Get with the times!
Hopeful!.......2006-07-11
Was very well reviewed in the PC literature, have one and it SEEMS to work. The only problem is that I'll never really know unless/until my computer CPU or hard-drive freezes up - hopefully, it doesn't.

Low available light can be one of the most frustrating conditions in which photographers are forced to work. The lack of contrast and image definition make it difficult, if not impossible, to bring your subject into sharp focus. Heavy shadows, dimly lit rooms and evening shooting schedules often result in soft images, not to mention tired and sore eyes. Beattie Intenscreen bright focusing screens help eliminate these problems making it easier to get the perfect shot.If you have ever shot a wedding, you know that dark churches and poorly lit reception halls can make focusing a nightmare. With a brightness gain of 2 to 2½ stops, Beattie Intenscreen makes a world of difference in medium format shooting.
