To reduce then number of people being pissed about false alarms.

This looks like a pretty good camera for the price, anyone have experience with it?

12/19/2008 1:25:46 AM

Well, they have been making cameras for 30 years..

12/19/2008 2:52:49 AM

dpreview.com is all you'll ever need for digital cameras.

Looks alright to me, but I'm also merely skimming, dog tired, and don't know what you'll want your camera to do.

i need continuous pleasure

12/19/2008 3:02:41 AM

good thread

12/19/2008 4:18:00 AM

i like dpreview.com... but i wouldn't say its all you will ever need. its always good to get multiple opinions.

I personally have never had very good experiences with the pentax digital cameras. maybe some of the dslrs but not the point and shoots. and 12mp on a tiny sensor... waaaaay overboard and would probably do more hurt than help.

with that said... its only 120 bucks... it could suck and still probably be worth the investment.

Just using this thread to bump the woot of the day, because i care about you people


Polaroid High Definition Digital Camcorder
$129.99
* + $5 shipping

Condition:
New
Product:
1 Polaroid DVC-00725F High Definition 720p Digital Camcorder (5MP still)

$130 for an HD camcorder is pretty solid. I just bought one. Granted, it's only 720 but good enough for me

also, the description of today's item is tip-top

Honestly, can’t you even make an effort here? At least you turned on the anti-shake image stabilization and motion sensor. But tonight’s footage is a total loss.”"

HAHAHAHAHA

reviews seem to be all good (though i wouldn't have thought so)

the floorstanding speakers are a good buy if they only came WITH the sub.

some of the comments on this LED light are funny.

save up for ~5 months and buy a laptop when windows 7 is released. it is much, much better than vista.

3/19/2009 7:10:56 AM

^ Good point. I'd rather wait till September anyway when I can look at the laptops in the store.

For all you AntiPod people... 30 gig Zune for $85!

5/13/2009 1:10:41 AM

Creative Zen is the better Antipod.

(its also better than the iPod)

5/13/2009 1:52:28 AM

I have an 80 gig zune, it's awesome. But the 30 gig version is like a brick.

Plus 99% chance you get the brown one.

5/13/2009 2:51:43 AM

The iPod anti-theft kit is an iPod shell that looks like a brown Zune.

first time I actually go through the process of buying something from Woot, and the particular item I want is no longer available (m-audio 49-key studio)

Deeeja vú
Asus EEE 900 16GB/1GB on sellout, $185

izzat worth a damn?

6/15/2009 2:13:26 PM

^ if you're cool with the 8.9" size...that's way too tiny for me and i don't have big hands at all

6/15/2009 2:18:03 PM

all of those notebooks are tempting, but i've never used one and idk if the tiny size is worth it.

but i'm mighty tempted to downgrade my POS smartphone to a simpler one and get a netbook or whatever they're called.

6/15/2009 2:26:44 PM

it'd be quite the contrast to the 23" monster connected to my desktop

6/15/2009 2:27:25 PM

^^ wait until the dual-core ones come out...and stay away from anything smaller than 10"

at least, that's my take on it...i realize the procs in those things aren't meant to do much, but the new dual-core intel atom procs use less 90% less power and do more (including playing HD content and supporting DDR3 memory)...and anything less than 10" is difficult to type on

that said, the new ones won't cost less than $200 so it's like comparing oranges and grapefruit...close, but not the same thing

[Edited on June 15, 2009 at 2:29 PM. Reason : .]

6/15/2009 2:28:26 PM

^ 90% less power than what?

I woulda bought the one on sellout if it had the ATOM instead of the celeron. now i just gotta something similar (larger SSD, Windows XP) with the ATOM for under $200 (plz to help)

6/15/2009 2:47:30 PM

hey synapse I think there's already a woot discussion on hardocp.com, maybe you should move this thread to old school

6/15/2009 2:51:48 PM

^^ the new dual-core atom procs that are supposed to be used with intel's new moorestown platform are supposed to use 0.2w instead of 2w (too many supposed to's in there, i know )

i'll see if i can find the exact article, but here's some basic info on moorestown: http://www.umpcportal.com/2009/06/intels-moorestown-platform-from-smartphone-through-smartbook-and-beyond

at the very least, an nvidia ion board with a dual-core atom supports DDR3, which is my goal

haha you're being such a baby.

and to make matters worse you were obviously wrong.

sad.

6/15/2009 3:09:02 PM

I love my Dell Mini 9. I have big hands and I would never use this to type more than a few e-mails, but I do not have a problem using it for web-surfing/watching movies. I keep it in my book bag at all times and never worry about it being damaged. Definitely one of the best things I've spent my money on in a while.

6/15/2009 3:16:55 PM

20" LCD w/ 16x10 res, $105.

6/27/2009 2:16:19 AM

^ nice high gloss screen though, personal preference but I love mine being in a non glare area, the colors are very vibrant and it gets a lot of compliments on being "one of the nicest monitors i've ever seen"

6/27/2009 3:52:02 AM

yeah, i don't get the high gloss screen thing, they do it on most laptops now, i thought it was pretty well agreed upon that glare was a bad thing.

6/27/2009 12:04:21 PM

80 gig Zune for a buck fiddy... perhaps not in brown!

7/15/2009 1:19:40 AM

I was just going to post this.

This is a great deal. I have one of these zunes, much better than the original bricks. Plus the headphones they come with are actually quite good.

And yeah they only come in black. no brown.

Not, not a game. Practice.

7/15/2009 10:12:48 AM

yeah, this really is a good deal...the car pack for $15 on sellout is pretty decent, too (though i'd only use the charger, which you can probably get on ebay for $5)

7/15/2009 10:15:48 AM

Sucks that I don't see anyone else with a Zune. The Zune 80 is awesome.

I also have high hopes for the Zune HD.
