onewanda says "Awesome" about Canon - PowerShot SD750 Digital Camera

onewanda — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 07:28:17 GMT

This camera has great picture quality. It is easy to use and has many features. The movie feature has good quailty and will record as much as the SD card will hold, currently I have a 1 GB installed. I have used it mostly indoors and have taken great shots at an aquarium for which it also has a setting. Even pictures where you are not allowed to use a flash come out good. I bought this camera on sale and was hesitant to actually use it as it is bigger than what I actually wanted but it won me over with its quality and features. I would recommend it to anyone. I have also found that even when the low battery indicator light comes on you have plenty of battery power left so don't change those batteries right away....

onewanda says "poor suction" about Roomba iRobot Vacuum

While visiting my son, I seen the Roomba advertised on t.v. Well, it just seemed like the miracle I was looking for so I went straight to the phone & ordered it. Could not wait for my little robot to arrive to clean while I worked. As I got it all set up, I thought this is going to be great.....put it down & let it do the work. NO WAY! It got tangled up in my drapes, it got into my wiring, it feel down the foyer steps though it claims it will turn if it gets on the edge of something, it got tangled up in the bedskirt as it tried to go under the bed & I finally said "Okay, you've done enough damage....go home". So, I boxed it back up & returned for a full refund. I truly wish they would work this thing out that it would work but it just does not pick up the dirt the way it says it will & was a constant worry while running to the point that I couldn't do my other work. It was like having a 2 yr. old going through the house to see what it could get into....

onewanda says "What a great deal" about Magellan - Roadmate 2000 GPS Device

Simply put, this GPS is AMAZING! I love this thing. I have gotten my moneys worth 10 times over. It is a reat gift for someone as it is pretty expensive. It actually gives you directions, phone numbers, and helps when you need it the most.

I travel solo for a living so you can imagine how helpful this has been for me. I cannot believe I waited so long to finally ask for one.

One negative point that you would never think of is that it loses satellite reception in the city. I recently traveled to L.A. and Chicago. Living in Florida, you don't have those skyscrapers and even being near one in metro places, it goes out. Not to mention when you are in the middle of the city and really need directions, you cannot count on it with this (or any) GPS. It then proceeds to take too long to get the reception back and you are out of luck.

My advice, just keep trying to get the reception back. It usually picks up when you least expect it to.
