Great card for the money
1 of 2 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulPros: Easy Install
Cons: Took longer to install the software
A great full-feature PCI card for less than $80. Installation is a snap and the documentation that comes with the card is very thorough and easy to follow. Simply update the AGP drivers for your motherboard, unistall the drivers for your old video card, out with the old, in with the new, and Voila'... you're done! Just start your machine back up, pop-in the install CD, then enjoy an upgraded video experience. If you're familiar with this type of software install opt for the custom option so you can choose less stuff. I really mean it when I said it took longer to install the software than the card and I picked the "Express" install... yeah right :)) Anyway, really good deal. ...

Canon 20D
Pros: Advanced features like those of more expensive cameras
Cons: Navigation of custom feature menus, TWAIN driver
This is an amazing camera. Having an older Canon A1, this was like the fast track to the future. The camera has many of the features that one would find in a much higher end unit such as the multiple focus points and mirror lock up. It is very responsive in terms of start up time, focusing, and image capture. Haven't found any real negative points with the camera itself. The only thing I had trouble with are remembering the associations between the custom feature (cf) numbers and their functions. Also, the TWAIN driver used to connect the camera to your PC is a bit clunky to use. Otherwise, this is an excellent piece of photographic equipment. ...

Bluetooth networking
Pros: Very easy install and config
Cons: None noted
This was a great find just for connecting my desktop to my phone to keep things sync'd. It offers a whole slew of other connectivity features such as compatibility with wireless stereo headphones (my next purchase). You can find other adapters for around $40 or more, but this one works just fine for me and offers other features that I may use down the road. ...
