User reviews

Advantages: extremely portable, great for music/movies, looks nice!
Disadvantages: I honestly can't think of any

I picked this model as it seemed the most portable and lightweight, as well as the best for leisure use - internet, email, movies, music, and it hasn't disappointed. I take it with me on most days, and its incredibly light-weight, the battery time is excellent too - I've used it for up to 7 hours straight with multiple applications running. I don't care what the manufacturer specs say - they often aren't exactly true in reality, but these are pretty ...
...of control buttons on the front, allowing you to control DVDs/music without having to go into the program itself while its running. The sound quality is top-notch, and it too is controllable from the front buttons. There are 4 USB points, as well as the usual modem/ethernet connections, and a memory card slot, so there really isn't much need for extra connections or adaptor. I can't offer an in-depth technical analysis of the attributes of the 630m, ...

Most Helpful Customer Reviews

good battery.. doesn't take very long to recharge either
This rechargeable battery came with my Olympus C-50 5MP digital camera, and I'm quite satisfied with it and don't feel the need to buy a spare battery. I am not a photographer that goes out taking shots for hours on end, but I do occasionally go on picture-taking sprees on pretty days or party weekends. I haven't run into problems with the battery dying on me so far, and I've had this battery for almost 2 years now. If you know you're going to be taking a lot of pictures, leave home with a full battery and you should be fine.

Good rechargeable. A little pricey though.

I have owned several digital cameras, including numerous Olympi.
I do Kite and Balloon Aerial Photography. The camera is usually several 100 feet above the ground and a pain to bring down to change out the batteries. So, I'm very concerned with battery life.

Three of the Olympi have used the LI-12B. I still have three of these batteries (one is an aftermarket clone from Thomas Distributing) and two chargers. With my Stylus 410, I was able take about 300 pictures without flash and LCD display on one charger. The jury is still out on my new Stylus 800. I can't seem to turn off the LCD display on the 800. This sucks because the LCD is big (2.5") and probably draws alot of juice.

All in all, it seems to last comparbly to the C123/dual-AAs in my Pentax Optio S55 but not as long as the four 2500mAh rechargeable AAs in the Canons.


I purchased extra batteries to use on my trip with the Olympus Stylus 800 digital camera. The batteries worked very well. I changed the battery in the camera after 200 shots, but hadn't seen the low battery warning yet. I probably could have gotten 400 shots out of each one. Take a few extra along for those remote trips, but you probably will need fewer than anticipated.

How to Buy an Olympus Camera

Olympus offers both digital SLR (single lens reflex) or compact cameras and 35mm film cameras, and according to the Olympus website, the company has been a leader in innovation for years. Among its achievements was the first wide angle lens-shutter camera, the first camera with interchangeable lenses and the first auto-connect USB camera. Follow the steps to learn how to buy an Olympus camera.

Instructions

Step1
Find an electronics store or website to compare the Olympus line of cameras. Browse Olympus's official website, and search for stores such as Best Buy and Target which also have websites with printed product information and convenient comparison grids.

Step2
Consider the type of camera you wish to purchase: digital or film, SLR or compact. Shop while thinking about what you will use the camera for, and the size that would work best for you. DSLRs and SLRs are great for versatility and professional quality photos, but are expensive and bulky. Compact cameras are usually cheaper and fit better in a purse or pocket.

Step3
Keep any lenses and other accessories you already have that can fit onto a new camera. Many Olympus lenses mix and match with older models, and often USB cables and other accessories are interchangeable.

Step4
Check and try out the resolution and optical zoom of the camera before you purchase it. For a digital camera, look for at least 5 megapixels—most Olympus cameras are equipped with 6 mp or higher—if you plan to print photos to 11 by 14 or larger. Look for an optical zoom of at least 3x—most Olympus cameras have this. The EVOLT E-410 and E-510 and Stylus 1000 are equipped with a 10 megapixel resolution.

Step5
Decide whether you want an upgradeable camera. If you buy an EVOLT DSLR camera, you can easily buy better lenses, flashes and other equipment to better your photography. If you aren't sure, go with a moderately priced SP or IS model or lower priced compact FE, Stylus or Trip model.

Step6
Know what else you might want to focus on, such as LCD size, anti-shake, semi-automatic modes, rechargeable batteries, built-in or add-on flash. Most digital models have a 2.5-inch LCD screen, with the Stylus730 having an impressive 3-inch LCD, and many use digital image stabilization to make fuzziness and blurriness nonexistent.

Step7
Stick to your budget. Be sure to think about extra expenses such as a camera bag, lenses, filters, batteries, digital image software, memory cards and extended warranties

Canon IXUS 50 digital camera review : Beginning of this year Canon introduced a complete new range of digital cameras, amongst them the new Canon Digital IXUS 50. This extremely compact digital camera, designed on the basis of the previously introduced Canon Digital IXUS 40, is placed in a neatly finished metal housing. Despite its small appearance the Canon IXUS 50 has more to offer than you'd think at first glance. The Canon Digital IXUS 50 doesn't yield in anything to his big brother the Canon IXUS 700.

Canon IXUS 50 - Successful
The Canon IXUS 50 digital camera is the logical next step in the flourishing IXUS digital camera range. The Digital IXUS guaranteed success from the minute the digital camera was introduced. If it wasn't for the compact size, then it was the beautiful design the consumer went for. And some years later we have come to the latest Digital IXUS sibling; the Canon Digital IXUS 50.

Canon IXUS 50 - DIGIC II processor
There are hardly any limits encountered when cropping a captured moment, thanks to the image sensor with 5 Megapixel resolution. The appliance of the advanced DIGIC II processor, which is also found on the latest Canon digital SLR cameras, makes speed a convincing term on the small compact IXUS camera. The second generation DIGIC II processor should guarantee improvements concerning colour graduations and precise white balance and should also enable complex processing algorithms without diminishing the overall performance of the Canon IXUS 50 digital camera. Moreover; the fast startup time and the high processing speed of storing the images will make photographing a pleasant activity.

Acer Aspire 3000 laptop

Acer Aspire 3000 laptop

Product summary

Specifications: Processor: AMD Mobile Sempron (1.8 GHz) ; RAM installed: 256 MB DDR SDRAM ; Weight: 6.2 lbs ;

The good: Very low price; fairly lightweight case; broad keyboard; big touch pad.

The bad: Dreadful battery life; comes with only 256MB of memory; lacks some important ports and a media-card reader; lacks multimedia controls; limited tech-support hours.

The bottom line: The inexpensive Acer Aspire 3000 delivers bargain-bin components and battery life and lacks some key features; if you desire anything more than absolutely basic laptop functionality, keep looking.

Starting at less than $600, the Acer Aspire 3000 is one of the least expensive laptops on the market. Though it has an unremarkable design, the Aspire 3000 features a big 15-inch standard-aspect display and weighs right around six pounds--too heavy for regular travel but fairly lightweight for a laptop of this size and price. That said, the Aspire 3000's measly specs aren't going to set any records, and this machine delivers absolutely terrible battery life; furthermore, it lacks some basic ports and connections. If you're looking for a laptop that's portable enough to move around the house for lightweight computing tasks--e-mail, Web surfing, and word processing--the Aspire 3000 may fit the bill. Still, we recommend that you consider shelling out a few hundred more for one of the stronger systems we profiled in our $1,000 roundup a few months back.

Acer backs the Aspire 3000 with a one-year warranty, which is standard for consumer laptops. Acer's tech-support phone lines are open only Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. and on weekends from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT. The company's online support could stand some sprucing up; it currently lacks helpful features such as forums and real-time chat with a tech-support rep.

Problems with Acer Aspire 3000 PC Notebook?

Acer Aspire 3000 keyboard failing

A:My acer aspire 3000 keyboard seems to be failing. I've had to attach a usb keyboard and mouse to use the laptop.
Keys on laptop are almost non-responsive (they have to be hit numerous times before working) and the cursor is jumpy and hard to navigate - if at all.
My daughter reformatted the HD last week with the acer restore disks thinking that would solve the problem, but it still persists.
Any clues what the problem is?

Q:Try disabling the "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Battery Method" in the device manager to temporarily resolve the issue.

Q:Yep I took out the battery after almost reinstalling windows now it works. The battery sucked from the beginning. I have an acer 3003wlci and was about to take a hammer to it. thanks forum.

Q:The reason that the battery trick works is that when the battery is too weak and trying to charge the combined current draw of running the LT at the same time causes the 5v rail to drop below threshold. Good 5v is required to run the keyboard.



Original boot discs

Q:I have an acer aspire 3000 running xp home. I recently installed an xp professional which came with my pc and I thought it would go on any computer. Now the acer can't install any updates which I think is due to the xp pro. I want to reinstall the original discs that came with the acer but can't seem to. Is there any way I can do this without losing data on the acer or do I have to completely format the drive and start again.


A:I'll try..:) but i suggestion looking in your manual also.

1. Backup your important files in the D: drive.

2. To install Windows XP start by starting the computer from the Windows XP CD-ROM, insert the Windows XP CD-ROM into your CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive, and then restart the computer.

3. When you see the "Press any key to boot from CD" message, press any key to start the computer from the Windows XP CD-ROM.

4. At the Welcome to Setup screen, press ENTER to start Windows XP Setup.

6. Follow the instructions on the screen to select and format a partition where you want to install Windows XP, this would be you C:\ drive.

7. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete Windows XP Setup.

Canon PowerShot G3

Canon PowerShot G3

* 4 megapixel CCD (3.87 effective) for 2,272 x 1,704 pixel images
* New 4X optical zoom lens, f/2.0-3.0
* Auto, Scene Program, Program, and Manual exposure modes
* Unique tilt/swivel LCD panel
* MANY user interface and feature enhancements.

Manufacturer Overview
Canon U.S.A. has long been a dominant player in the film and digital camera markets, well-known for their high-quality optics, technical innovations, and aggressive product development. Over the last few years, they've developed a powerful lineup of digital cameras, ranging from surprisingly feature-rich entry-level models, all the way to the extreme high end of professional digital SLRs. Last year, their PowerShot G2 prosumer model was one of the top two or three cameras on the entire Imaging Resource site, a fact I attribute to the superb job Canon did in designing and producing it. - The G2 was one of those rare cameras that really hit all the right notes with the "enthusiast" crowd, offering a rich feature set and excellent image quality.

Now, Canon has updated the G2, calling the result the PowerShot G3. To the surprise of many, they eschewed the five megapixel sensors employed by many of their competitors in high-end prosumer models, choosing instead to stay with the proven four megapixel chip first seen in the G2. (I'm told the reason for this is that Canon was unwilling to accept the image noise tradeoff that the current crop of 5 megapixel CCDs require.) While the sensor has remained the same, numerous feature and user interface enhancements (including a new 4x zoom lens with fast f/2.0 maximum aperture) combine to result in a noticeably different user experience. Read on below for the full story, but based on my early look at the new model, I'd say Canon has come up with a very worthy successor to the wildly popular G2.

High Points

Canon PowerShot G3 Battery Life: No spec from Canon yet, but my own measurements indicate roughly a 15% improvement in worst-case battery life over the G2.

Unique focus bracketing mode.
Digital telephoto as high as 3.5x.
Full Automatic, Program AE, Shutter Priority, Aperture Priority, and Manual exposure modes, as well as three preset exposure modes, and two user-programmable modes.

Digital cameras: Transferring pictures from older digital camera to newer

I have some pictures, which were taken with a Powershot SD700 IS digit camera. Would like to transfer the pictures to a new model Powershot SD 950 IS.Tried to transfer the pictures using Canon Camerawindow application. However pictures will not transfer to the Powershot SD 950 IS.Can I, or how do I transfer photo's from a older digit camera to a newer model. Please help!Thanks,~M-->

1.You cannot write to a camera through the USB cable.The camera treats it as a one way street; from the camera to the computer.The camera does not want any outside source to write to the camera.If you have a card reader/writer, you can write to a memory card.But, it is unlikely that the camera will see anything that you add to the card. When the camera writes to the card it also updates the FIB (file information block) on the card, so that it can keep track of the pictures it takes.Also if you have ideas of taking a card from one camera and putting it in a different camera and taking more pictures to that card, you can get into trouble. Being two similar Canon cameras, it might work but I would suggest you make sure that you have a back up copy on the computer before trying it.The proper way to reuse a memory card from a different camera is to copy all the files to your computer.Then Format the card with the new camera before taking any pictures.The Format will deleted all pictures on the card.If you want to carry around pictures for others to see, I suggest you get a multimedia player.

2. want to do that ?It seems that you are going about the wrong way to achieve somethng .... Unless your camera can be used as a mass storge device (i.e. like a hard disk) which requires the installation of the appropriate drivers supplied with the camera, picture files cannot be freely transfered "in camera"-->

3.She's the type that will do that. She uses hers as a picture viewer and taker. With the 2GB card in the camera that's some 1000 pictures so it's a mom's idea of how to use this tech.Oh the days with your 35mm and rolls of 27 shot film. We used to think before clicking. Now it's click, click, click...Bob-->

4.I would never even think about keeping all my pictures on one card.But after hearing from people who want larger and larger capacity memory cards, it is apparent that many people do just that.But the frightening thing is, many of these people do not have a copy of the pictures on their computer or saved to a CD.Absolutely no back-up.That sends shivers up my spine.

The Chemistry of Laptop Batteries Explained

Laptop batteries come in all shapes and sizes also differ in their chemical composition. The chemistry of a battery refers to the chemical make-up of the cells inside the outer casing. The most common chemistries used in laptop batteries are:

NiCad (Nickel Cadmium) This is the oldest technology and is the least commonly used nowadays. NiCad batteries are prone to the "Memory effect" and are heavier than the newer technologies. NiCad is not environmentally friendly chemistry as it contains heavy metals, which cannot be disposed of in landfill sites. Most manufacturers have stopped producing batteries of this type chemistry. As an end user it will be increasingly difficult to source these batteries. The best alternative is external battery packs.

NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) these batteries are less likely to be prone to the memory effect and have a much better power to weight ratio than NiCad. This is a commonly used chemistry. These batteries are also being phased out by most manufacturers. However, many have lithium-ion versions that are compatible. Always consult the manufacturer or a reputable laptop battery supplier.

Li-Ion (Lithium Ion) - This is becoming the dominant technology due to its excellent power to weight ratio. Such considerations are becoming more important as mobile devices become smaller and lighter and battery weight becomes significant. Another plus point for Li-Ion is that it doesn't suffer the memory effect at all. These batteries do have a tendency to lose charge quickly towards the end of their effective life span. If this starts to happen the battery must be replaced.

These three technologies are quite different in the way they charge and therefore should not be substituted unless the device has been designed to take different chemistries. The owner's manual will describe which batteries are suitable.

Care for Laptop Batteries

Care for Laptop Batteries

Lithium Ion notebook batteries wear down because of two factors:

1. active usage in your notebook battery
2. natural aging of the notebook battery

Both will wear down your laptop battery over time; the trick is to minimize their impact while still getting the performance out of your laptop battery that you need.

The most important thing to understand about laptop batteries is that they are always losing a small bit of their charge. The hotter the temperature, the faster notebook batteries loose their charge. So rule number one is: keep your notebook battery cool. Notebook battery manufacturers store their products at around 60F.

The second most important thing to understand about notebook batteries is that their capacity decreases
with each cycle of charging and discharging. By itself, this is not surprising - but when combined with the previous point, it leads to a surprising conclusion.

When laptop users
leave their laptop battery inside the machine but leave the computer plugged into the wall, the laptop battery is going through a constant charge-discharge cycle. The notebook battery is sitting unused inside the notebook, discharging a little faster than normal because of the notebook’s heat. Once its charge level drops to a predetermined level, the AC adapter provides extra juice to “top off” the notebook battery. As the laptop battery gets older, it tends to self-discharge a little faster, which accelerates the process even further…

Lithium ion notebook batteries normally offer 600 to 800 charge/discharge cycles over 1.5 to 3 years of useful life. When you use your notebook battery as described above, you are needlessly using your supply of recharges.

One additional note: many people recall that older notebook batteries on early computers worked best when they were fully discharged before being recharged. While that remains true for Nickel Cadmium technology, today’s Lithium Ion notebook batteries work best when they are recharged when they still have 10 to 20% capacity remaining. So if you are using your notebook battery on a long flight, try not to get in the habit of using the notebook battery until it has almost no charge. Your laptop battery literally won’t be the same when you re-charge it the next time.

Some Guidelines for notebook batteries:

1. Remember that new batteries generally arrive in a discharged state; you must charge them up for at least four hours before their first use.

2. Keep your laptop battery cool, but do not put it in the refrigerator or freezer
3. Don’t use the notebook battery if you don’t have to! Many people keep their laptop plugged in most of the time. They can preserve their battery life by storing the battery outside the laptop in a cool place.

4. Try to avoid running your laptop battery all the way to zero
5. Don’t charge your computer battery before long periods of inactivity
6. Much as we’d like to sell you more laptop batteries, don’t buy spare notebook batteries for later use. The longer you hold them, the less useful life they provide
