reviewmaw says "Great phone with camera and Mp3 player!!!" about LG - VX8100 Cell Phone

reviewmaw — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 17:05:47 GMT

I just switched from this phone because I had a credit towards a new phone....but I love the VX8100. Not only is it a great phone but it takes good pictures and has a nice Mp3 player too. Obviously, the camera is not comparable to an 8MP digital camera, but for a 1.3MP cell phone camera, the pictures were impressive. The video option is good too....only I wish it would take videos longer than 15 seconds. There is a slot for a mini-SD card to upgrade your memory....works well if you're going to take lots of pictures or want to transfer some music to your phone. The Mp3 player works well...there are play buttons on the front of the phone so you can listen to music w/o opening your phone...however, these can get accidentally pressed if the phone is in your pocket or purse....don't freak out if you start hearing music coming from your pants pocket! The dual speakers are excellent for music...they play loud and clear!

reviewmaw says "Great alternative to an Ipod!!!" about Creative - Zen Vision M - 30G MP3 Player

If you're looking for a good Mp3 player for music, pictures and video but don't want to spend a small fortune for an Ipod, then check out the Creative Zen Vision. I love being able to hook it up to my laptop and transfer my pictures, videos and music and take them with me everywhere. It's easy to use and works great...I love it!!!...

reviewmaw says "Transformers...more than meets the eye" about Transformers

So, I was part of the generation that grew up watching the old school Transformers cartoon on TV. When the movie came out, I thought "great, they're going to mess up yet another good ol' school show by making it into a movie".....anyone remember the Dukes of Hazzard movie? But I have to say I was wrong! They did a great job of expressing the story of Transformers while using some amazing state-of-the-art special effects and computer graphics. It was exciting, fun to watch and funny! So, whether you were a Transformers fan back in the 80s or not, you should definitely see this movie!!! ...

reviewmaw says "Who says God doesn't have a sense of humor?" about Evan Almighty

So, I wasn't sure about this movie when it came out...I didn't want to see it because I figured it would be another "hey, let's make fun of God" type movies. But after talking to a friend that had seen it, she encouraged me to watch it. I'm glad I did!!! Not only is it a really funny movie, but there are also some really cool things about God in it!!! As a Christian, I appreciate the way they produced the movie and helped reveal some of the character and personality of God. Sure, God has a sense of humor.....otherwise, why would He give us the ability to laugh?...

reviewmaw says "Amazing camera....if not for the E18 error!!!" about Canon - PowerShot A620 Digital Camera

I was really impressed with the Canon Powershot A620 digital camera. It takes great photos with amazing detail and has a good zoom. Even if you're not very familiar with photography, the automatic settings work well.....and they have plenty of settings to change for those of you who understand that kind of stuff (that would not be me!!!). There are specialized settings for fireworks, nighttime shots, kids/pets, snow, etc. and the macro feature lets you take amazing photos of up-close objects. Macro is definitely my favorite feature! Also, you can make panoramic photos using the software that comes with it or you can change the colors on photos as you take them. Another great feature is the swivel LCD screen which allows you to take photos angled up, down or even toward yourself.

The only problem I came across with my camera is the E18 error. Basically, something goes wrong with the lens so that it won't come in and out of the camera when it turns on. I've heard reports of...
