The Panasonic KX-TS105W corded phone combines flexible features, sturdy construction, and a value price.

Great phone, fantastic price.......2007-12-21
I needed a phone for the home office that was a speaker phone. I did not need a cordless unit. This does NOT need a power cord to use the speakerphone, only to use the memory dial. So I use it only with out the power cord and it works fine. The only issues ( and the only reason it is a 4 and not a 5) is that the speaker phone will not activate by the "button" on it's own with out power. You have to lift the handset and then push "speaker", then replace the handset, then it works normally. I would buy this again in an instant especially at the very reasonable price.
Panasonic the way to go.......2007-12-10
If you are looking for a old fashion phone/with afew up to date features.
This is the phone. It has bigger buttons,speakerphone is great,for no hands talking. It has memory speed dial. The selling point for me was it has a ringer that can be turned off. Have a 3rd shift sleeper in the house, and we can turn it off. (It's in the bedroom)
The 2nd selling point, was it's corded. So if the power goes out, the phone will still work, unlike a portable.Service was very fast. Over all
good phone for the money, I have another Panasonic in the cellar, and it's over 15yrs old, and is simular to this one.
Best speakerphone for the price........2007-11-06
I have been on the market for a decent phone for a while, and this one is simply the best bargain in ages.
Its styling looks outdated, but beside that, it's just what you'd want. Sound quality is ok, speaker is loud, volume easily adjusted, mute button accessible, just simple and functional.
I am a remote employee, and do a lot of conference calls, and this phone is just what I needed. The speakerphone function just works, which is quite remarkable, from my past experiences.
It requires batteries, however if you don't install them, the only thing you lose is the phonebook function (which I don't use). The speaker phone still works.
There is a headset plug, which I haven't tried yet, but it can only work better than any Plantronics junk (what a pure waste of money).
This is the type of product you just hope will stay around, and not be canned because it doesn't look good anymore... it just works!
Panasonic KX-TS105W.......2007-10-23
We recently purchased a Panasonic KX-TS105W to replace an aging but similar Durabrand (Wal-Mart) corded one line desk top speakerphone which had developed poor audio (line noise). We were specifically looking for a low cost no frills (no caller ID, no answer machine, no silly display, etc.) corded one line desktop speakerphone. The Panasonic KX-TS105W can be set on the desktop or wall mounted and comes with a special bracket for wall mounting. We have only owned the Panasonic KX-TS105W for about three weeks now but we are generally pleased with it. Its best features are the large buttons for dialing, redial feature, and of course the speaker phone. It also has features we probably will seldom use but can be handy including mute, hold, speakerphone volume control, handset/headset volume control, and 10 one-touch memory dial buttons.
Another key reason we purchased this model - and we researched a few low cost desktop speakerphones in this price range - was that the ringer volume can be set to high, low, or OFF! We prefer the off position as we have a wall phone in another room that is easily heard throughout our house and this phone is near my young sons room and we did not want it to ring. However, even if we could not hear the other phones ringer the Panasonic KX-TS105W has a red light that flashes when the phone is ringing - even with the ringer set to off so you can 'see' that a call is coming in - a nice feature. I dont recall another no frills one line desk top speaker phone that had a 'ringer off' feature.
Panasonic is usually a good brand name with decent quality/reliability but only time will tell how long it will last. We paid $33.53 with free shipping thru Amazon.com which we thought was a good price for what it is.

Panasonic Phone KX-TX105W.......2007-09-27
Purchased to install in a home occupied by a 94 year old. Extremely easy to operate and buttons of sufficient size to be useful. Speakerphone and other amenities work well. The phone has two registers for saved numbers - upper and lower with a button to select between the two. This caused problems if she accidently hit the button because suddenly the saved numbers would not work. We solved this by programming the same number next to the same button on both the upper and lower register. Now if she hits the select button it does not matter as the speed dial button will dial the number no matter what. Great value.

Customer Reviews:
truly value for money........2007-09-30
Has worked well. simple...effective and great value for the money. Got another one for my sis as well. She has had no complaints as well.
Good buy!.......2007-07-31
Used this product for the past 2 years without any issues. I got it for $25 then. Its no good for desktop PCs, but a great buy for laptops. The video quality is very decent.
Sufficient.......2007-07-16
This is a cheap, no frills webcam. I bought it specifically because it WAS so cheap and because I wanted a simple webcam to put on my desk at work to act as a spy to see who was going around stealing things off people's desks after hours and I wanted it to be cheap in case what they stole next was my camera.
I think its mere presense did the job of deterrent. It did catch some people eyeballing it suspiciously before wandering off, but neither it nor anything from my desk ever disappeared again.
That said, here's my breakdown:
Included software: Very good. Comes with software "motion detection" which is what I use to record movement around my desk, but also has time lapse and photo modes in addition to actually just being a webcam. There's also some way of setting up the camera to monitor it remotely but the firewall at the office was blocking that function so I haven't tried it.
Camera quality: "Sufficient". Not great. The camera seems to have minor "fits" that will throw glitches on screen once in a great while. This isn't really noticable until you use motion detection. The motion detection function would frequently capture an image of a blank wall doing nothing very exciting and it took me a while to realize that what sets off the motion detection is sometimes just "noise" which I presume to be a result of a poor quality camera. Like it gets a moment of static which trips the motion detection software and it ends up recording a short stint of absolutely nothing happening. (Edit: I was able to greatly reduce the incidence of this by turning off the automatic light settings. Turns out, at some point the software decides that the lighting is too light or too dark and makes an adjustment, which cause enough of a picture change to trigger the motion detector... setting it to manual removed about 75% of the "noise" hits I was getting.)
It would also be nice if the motion capture had a small 1 or 2 second buffer so that it will always record the event that tripped it. As it is, sometimes it will also trigger from something going by fast enough that the software gets tripped but doesn't start recording fast enough to catch what tripped it.
The camera's max resolution is pretty low, as well, though I guess that's about on par for web cams. On the bright side, you can record quite a lot of time without taking up a lot of drive space but on the other hand, it's going to be low quality stuff.
Still, not bad for the price. I'm happy enough with it. The plastic stand is nice, too, giving you a decent chance of finding a place to set it or hook it (the bottom "leg" you see in the picture can swing out to act as a claw if need be, e.g., to place on top of a monitor or cubical wall...)
I might even be tempted to call it "5 stars, relative to other cameras you could get for this cheap" but I'll leave it at 4 stars, mainly for those glitches that interfere with motion capture.
You can certainly find a better web cam out there, but if you're looking for something cheap and sufficient, this one will probably do the job.
DON'T BUY IT!.......2007-02-22
This is a piece of junk, especially the software. It hung up twice on trying to install the software, and the video portion got hung up so badly I finally had to simply shut down my computer to turn it loose. I sent it back pronto!
Good webcam, poor software.......2007-01-11
This webcam is good for anyone who wants to skype or IM with video. The resolution is okay and the webcam works pretty well even in poor lighting. The only downside to this product is the software that comes with it. I couldn't get the software to run on my computer even when plugged into the USB 2.0 ports at the back. The software looks nifty but is slow.

Good Buy!.......2007-01-11
This is for sure one of the best buys I'v got involved in. Very good web camera, not too good for the still picture feature, but excellent for online chat programs such as 'SKYPE' & 'MSN'. Good Buy. A++++
Average webcam.......2007-01-05
There is nothing too amazing about this webcam, standard features with reasonable frame rate. I've bounced it around since having it and it still works fine.
Product Description
Introducing a revolutionary new way to say hello. iSight delivers picture perfect video, crystal clear audio and an innovative design that makes video conferencing over the Internet as natural as face-to-face conversation. Families can stay in touch from thousands of miles away. Students can hang out and talk with their friends like they were in the same room. And business travelers can tuck their kids in to bed from the other side of the world. It's the next best thing to being there.iSight doesn't just look good, it makes you look good with a high quality video image.

Just plug in iSight and iChat AV automatically launches and gets you chatting in seconds.iSight is made out of the same aluminum alloy as the 12" and 17" PowerBooks, which makes it incredibly durable while keeping it extremely lightweight (weighs just 2.3 ounces).

Customer Reviews:
Apple sometimes makes me angry.......2007-02-14
So i am not sure if they stopped making i-sights because new MacBooks have it built in or because it was some kind of health hazard, either way i needed it and so do thousands of apple owners. Thanks for the fast transaction.
this is the cam.......2005-10-01
Wow. Everyone needs to have this as their computer cam. Just plug it in and you are off and running. Has great audio too.
iSight is an ideal complement to iChat AV.......2005-02-20
As webcams go, the iSight provides the best image quality. Its design and build quality are top notch, too. The iSight uses a Firewire connection, not USB, for improved performance.
The camera comes with four different mounting devices (stands and clips) to use it on a desktop, atop your monitor, or attached to your notebook computer's LCD screen. Another thoughtful touch is a little cylinder to store/protect the iSight when you take it on the road.
The iSight has two internal noise-cancelling microphones that provide crisp, clear audio. The folks with whom I videoconference have remarked that I sound like I'm in the same room as they.
One area where the iSight could be improved is control over manual adjustments. The camera normally works in auto mode. The aperature, focus, color temperature, video gain, et cetera, are adjusted automatically based on the room's lighting conditions. But I've found that there are times when the picture is a bit too dark or too bright, or the hue is a tad too red or blue. Fortunately, there's a cool $8 shareware utility called iGlasses (do a Google search to find it) that gives you full manual control over the camera. iGlasses appears as a floating pallete within iChat AV. With it, you can tweak the iSight's settings to your personal preference.
The iSight and iChat AV go hand in hand. I can't imagine using one without the other.
Fantastic.......2005-01-17
I bought one of these for my dad for xmas and another one for myself (adhering to the one for you one for me policy). We both live on different continents and I figure it would help to cut down on phone bills. Tried it out for the first time this weekend and I'm impressed. The resolution is quite good; not crystal clear of course but not too bad (we both have cable modems). It was easy to set up, just involved getting a subscription to the .mac website (free trial 60 days, no need to put a credit card down either!), plugging it in, and typing my dad's email address as a buddy...that's it...next thing I knew he was on the screen talking with me. Pretty sweet.
Love this cam.......2004-12-02
I have owned this webcam for a few months now and love it. I have kids in college and we video conference frequently. The sound and picture are worth the money. Apple makes this easy to install; plug it in. AIM is our software along with the Ichat-AV version. The pictures are clear and have no time delay. This is my third webcam purchase and by far my favorite. I even bought another one for the office. This is the Porsche of webcams. Can't someone help the poor Wintel folks have a real webcam. Is this Mac only or will it become like the Ipod, for all platforms?

Customer Reviews:
You get what you pay for.......2007-03-09
Great for still shots but almost totally unusable for any motion. Blurs even the slowest motion. Software installation was fairly time consuming but straight forward.
Cam was $9.99 plus $5.74 shipping
You get what you pay for !!!.......2007-01-19
Set-up is easy and comes with a LOT of great software!! For under $10 (when I bought it) it is WELL worth the money - just remembering that ALL video capture devices will 'drag' your system when in use. Easy to 'snap' a photo and record video to your hard drive. Good 6foot cord so it can be placed most anywhere. Works very well in a 'hub.' Great 360degree turning radius and decent vertical adjustment. The picture quality is OK for most uses like online chat. It LOSES a 'star' for one issue: the main component is NOT going to hold to the base as it is all plastic; easy solution - get some super-strength glue to keep the capture mechanism attached to its base !!
Great Entry Cam, Real Value For Money.......2007-01-10
I was very surprised when I received this product that it came with a software suite with so many functions. Live web broadcast (Skype, NetMeeting, etc.), snapshot picture, greeting cards, panorama pictures, still shot and video email direct from the EZ Cam interface and more. Picture quality is acceptable to good, though not suited for full screen use. As you might expect, rapid movement blurs the image, but colors are fine and auto-adjust for lighting is surprisingly OK. It has manual focus but focuses from 18 inches to infinity. Considering what it's selling for on the web, it does it's job.
JUNK JUNK JUNK , unacceptably S-L-O-W .......2005-12-18
Easy setup, but who cares, when the end result is a very slow video. Sort of reminded me of Jim Carey in the movie "The Mask". When he whips his head from side to side and you see the "blur", THAT'S what you see with this webcam! Don't waste your money. I'm sending it back tomorrow!
easy to set up and use, fairly good quality.......2005-11-26
I got a few sets of these and sent as x-mas gifts for family so we could stay in touch. I chose this cam because of how easy it is to set up regardless of your computer/technology ability. Great Gran could even do it with little trouble!
Highly recommend. If you are on dial-up, the quality could be a bit diminished. Highspeed, it is pretty clear and does the job! Also recommend that you get a headset with a mic.

Customer Reviews:
Nice idea, flawed execution.......2007-10-29
We bought two of these to monitor the kids while sleeping.
One was dead on arrival, and, after a lengthy call with Motorola support, was exchanged.
The other lasted six months before suffering the same fate -- you can connect once, but subsequent connections are refused until the camera is disconnected and the battery removed and replaced.
There also seems to be a bug -- sometimes when we connect, the camera emits noises, even though the phone is monitoring, and not sending, audio. We wondered why our younger one was waking up a few minutes after we turned the camera on, until one of us was in the room when it happened.
This particularly phone system is ingenious in conception, but all of the different units have serious bugs of some sort. Moto should have done more testing before releasing it.
Cool camera.......2007-01-10
We use it for our baby. We can also talk to her at the same time. It's little limited on its perspective, but it's very handy and can be placed anywhere. We're going to get another one for our other daugter, so we can see both in their beds up close.
Works well, range could be better.......2006-11-12
I bought the SD7500 phone system so I could use this camera to monitor our baby and add the bluetooth dock to use for my cell phone calls when at home. For those two conveniences alone, I love the system.
The SD7504 camera is really easy to setup and use with the 7502 phones (I still don't know why Motorola doesn't sell a base unit with the 7502 standard!). The image quality is pretty mediocre, but is about what you would expect for such a small screen. The low-light feature works great, and the unit doubles as a great audio intercom for the room. The interface was smartly designed so that no sound is made in the room when you check the camera from a remote phone, but with a simple button press you can talk clearly through the 7504. You can definitely have some fun confusing your baby by talking to him through the 7504 while being in another room.
Summary:
Pros - Great interface, excellent quality two-way audio, easy to mount and easy to detach in "wireless" mode when you need 3-4 hours of monitoring of another area without a power cord attached.
Cons - Mediocre image quality, range is not as long as phones are. Mine didn't work with my base station on the other side of my 2000 sq. foot house, but works great when I moved the base station closer to the center of the home.
I'd recommend the product even with the small downsides.

This thing is great!!!.......2005-08-21
I read the other reviews & I want to know what these people want. For a $30 camera, this thing rocks! I borrowed my brothers camera so my daughter could talk to grandma. I plugged it in, downloaded the driver from the web & was video conferencing on MSN Messenger in about 2 minutes. I'd definitly buy another one!!
A basic budget Cam. Functional but not great.......2005-03-30
Compatibility:
--------------
Read many reviews saying that they had compatibility issues. But mine hooked up fine on XP Home (make sure you dont connect the cam before you install the s/w - this is mentioned in the instructions).
Image quality:
--------------
Image quality is a little grainy, but for $20 its OK. Does not handle bad light well. With good light its fine. I do not use it for anything other than doing cam-chats with folks faraway. Though it came with a lot of bundled s/w, I did not install any coz i dont need it.
One surprising thing is that, with its own software i get a decent enough refresh rate and better image quality, but when using it with yahoo msngr on DSL, refresh rate is real slow and the image becomes grainy. But i guess this is not the fault of the cam since it works better with its own software.
Build quality:
--------------
Build quality is not impressive but passable, especially the legs look weak and as if they'd break if i was a little rough with them. (but if one is rough with a budget cam then one is rather stupid). Legs do a good job of holding on to my laptop screen and i had no trouble with them. Swiveling angles of the head are adequate to place it almost anywhere one might reasonably need to.
Verdict:
--------
So overall, if you have to make a choice between this webcam and no webcam, go for it. But know that this is not a performance product & you should be happy. I am.
This Camera Overall = Crap.......2004-10-23
The image quality is poor, it reloads every few seconds and it was difficult to install.
update- how to increase camera photo quality.......2004-09-30
I'm not sure if this is in the instructions manual, but for those that have complaints about photo quality, here's one thing you can try- twist the blue lens cover. This changes the focus of the camera which may resolve any image quality issues. Hope it helps
USB Compatibility.......2004-08-17
This is actually NOT a review & rating was given just on average. I'm just wondering if this device is compatible with a high speed USB 2. Because it says it requires USB 1.1. So, can anybody suggest me on this matter? I appreciate any suggestion. Thanks.

Product Description
It's time to get closer with live video. Or, for a truly amazing interactive experience, add high quality, hands-free audio to your video - your friends and loved ones will thank you for it. And, you can do so much more: create multimedia greetings, set up your own live "spy cam", or just send a high resolution snapshot at a moment's notice.If you're looking for a camera that's easy to install and fun to use, but has the video and audio quality you need to make a memorable impression, the WebCam NX Pro is a great choice.

Great Webcam, so-so stand.......2006-03-15
I have had my camera for over 2 years and it still works great. The image quality is good and frame rate is adequate. I use it primarily for video conferencing on msn messenger with friends and family abroad. Seeing the person adds another dimension to the conversation, makes it more personal. Installation is simple, you don't need the cd as windows xp recognizes it. Now for the flaw, the stand. The stand folds to sit in 3 locations: open to sit on top of the monitor and point down, folded to sit on the table top and point up, and semi folded to sit on the screen of a laptop or lcd monitor. Although versatile the stand doesn't provide enough stability, it topples over easily as the head and cord coming from it are too heavy for the relatively narrow base. Creative should have made the base wider.
Overall a great camera but needs more stability.
Creative Labs WebCam NX Pro.......2006-03-01
This webcam was worth every penny. I used similar logitech webcam ealier, this one is far superior quality for the same price in same product line.
Simply Superb..!!.......2005-10-27
I had done some research before buying this webcam...it is better than logitech ones that I have seen. My family back in India can see me very very clearly...
Am happy with the product. I would recommend this for anyone looking for a good webcam. Go for it..
3 cheers for this one..!!
preety good overall, well worth the price, some minor quibs.......2005-10-14
Overall,
I think this camera is worth the price as the color reproduction and image quality in natural light is amazing. As with all relatively cheap webcameras, however, it does have problems maintaning the proper contrast ratio with artificial or darkened rooms. However, if your planning on using this with a good overhead lighting source, shouldn't even be an issue.
My only other gripe is that the camera is so light that the cord pulls it and knocks it over and makes it difficult to adjust.
Overall, well worth the price.
