Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (Great for sub photos.) 『When taking deep depths photos, you loose all hot color, this filter corrects this and makes it easier to retouch your photos.
My photos got really better after I started using it.』
(The Filter Was Worth The Price) 『I went diving in the Great Barrier reef and on the first dive all the pictures were very blue and did not look all that great since I didn't have the filter on the first dive. The second dive I had more time and went to get the filter and what a difference. We dove roughly 65 feet and the filter added color back to both pictures and video I took on the remaining dives. The filter saved the dive pictures and created very nice memories of the dive. Highly recommend.』
(Good) 『If you are going for snorkling only, you may not need this. However, if you are planning for scuba diving, this is a must because this is excellent for deep diving pictures』 『VF-MPTA is a color filter kit for marine pack which includes convenient carrying pouch. It balances the color shift when shooting underwater.』
IPhone 3G used's review (color ink/paper) 『This provides three ink cartridges and 3 sets of 19 sheets each. The price was right the shipping was a little costly. You can find this product in Walmart.』
(Selphy printers excellent quality) 『The Selphy printers need this paper/ink combo, but the results are very difficult to tell apart from store labs. Buying them in the large packages can get the cost down to where it is comparable, and not having to go to the store makes it well worth it for snapshots.』
(canon KP-1081P ink jet and printer paper) 『I highly recomend this type of printer paper and the ink jets that come with it as I have the selphy printer. I take pictures with my canon digital camera and it is so easy to print my pictures at home or I can carry every thing with me when I visit my family and print out pictures to give to them. This is a lot cheaper than having to wait for a photo shop and the pictures are fantastic. I highly reccomend this deal through Amazon as you always get a good product and great service.』
(Canon) 『Amazon.com is the best. Tryed them all always come back. The competition does not compare. Amazon is the most easy site to use.

Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (Scanning?) 『I was happy with this all in one until I found out that if you scan a 10 page document to pdf, it will open 10 seperate pdf documents. Hence forcing you to do the work of combining all the documents into one pdf. That's annoying! Does anyone know of a setting that can be changed so that it will automatically put all the scans from a "single" "mutli page" scan into "one" document?
Plus it doesn't scan across the network. That's annoying and it sux.
The upside is that it's a laser printer. Prints fast and faxes fast and clean. No probems with Printing, Copying and faxing. Scanning is missing a few bolts.
』
(I love this machine) 『Although I did not buy it from amazon, I feel this is the best place to review it. I bought this printer cheaper than it probably should have been. There was an easyrebate involved. So I was thrilled about that. When I got the box opened it took about 5 minutes to set it up. I installed the drivers and everything was up and running in no time. It was a real breeze. I have it set up via USB connection, so I cannot comment about its network capabilities. I did run a series of tests on its scanning however.
There are a couple of different parameters to set for the scanner. There are the resolution and color settings. For resolution, obviously the higher the resolution, the finer the image. If you are scanning text however, it doesnt require very high resolution. I found all the text on my utility bills legible at 200dpi, just one setting above the lowest resolution. A 2 page document takes up roughly 200kb in grayscale mode when saved as a PDF. IT TOOK ABOUT 5 SECONDS TO SCAN A PAGE THROUGH THE DOCUMENT FEEDER.
2 things surprised me when I scanned this document in the other color modes (true color, 24-bit color, black and white): 1.) The file size remained about the same across all color modes. 2.) The scanning time became much longer for the other color modes.
There is an OCR program included with the software and it requires a resolution of 300dpi, which doesnt make a huge difference in file size or scanning time. But when the OCR program is finished and the document is saved in word format there is a HUGE difference. My 17 page lease took up a mere 285kB when converted to word format. You should only run the OCR programs on pages that are just text though. Running OCR on documents that contain alot of pictures or on poor copies can be problematic. For that just save the scan as a PDF and you'll be fine.
In the first 3 hours of owning this beauty, I had scanned every important piece of paper in my apartment. I even scanned all of my notes for a current semester at an Ivy League university.
I love this machine, and so will you. 』
(Decent wirless printer... but only scans via USB) 『I am pretty happy with the networked printing... and even faxing (though I don't need that feature). But what really let me down is that this printer cannot scan via the network connection... only USB. I've confirmed this with Samsung's Tier 2 support. They claim they never marketed it as a networked scanner... but I have to say I feel misled.』
(Best thing going) 『I purchased this product strictly because of the price. It is wonderful. Scans are easy. Just use a program to acquire the image with the supplied twain driver, which by the way, is a nice piece of software. And fast. Got my samsung hardwired to my network. My wireless laptops can print to it no problem. Wakes from sleep fast, prints fast, and its quiet. Nothing to complain about. It really is like having a full blown office machine in your home.』
(Does everything perfectly) 『We needed to replace a 5 year old Xerox all in one and decided to go with the Samsung 4725FN. The price was hundreds below everything we looked at from HP, Lexmark and Xerox and we're extremely happy with our purchase. The unit prints very quickly from our mixed Mac and Windows network and the print quality is superb. Setup took less than 5 minutes without looking at the manual. Overall, we highly recommend this printer. The only negative is that you may have a bit of trouble locating toner locally so be sure to keep extras on hand, since you can't just run over to the corner office supply store and expect to see it on the shelf. Overall a great printer/fax/scanner at an amazing price.』 『Imagine all the attention that makes your office exclusive.Toner Save Mode of the SCX-4725FN reduces toner consumption by up to 30%, giving you more print outs per toner cartridge. This mode not only remains the print quality, but also saves papers for draft copies.Store a few functions as 'Favorite Copy'. Instead of requiring multiple steps to select copy options, pressing the 'Favorite Copy' button requires only one step to complete the assigned special copy. As fast as it gets.SCX-4725FN sends a fax document directly from your PC through SmarThru software. You can just sit and watch everything being done.』

Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (HDMI) 『Make sure you buy an HDMI cable. Much better than composite or S-video. Plus you only need one cable for both video and audio. Great picture. Make sure your cable box has HDMI output. If not call cable company and ask for a swap.』
(BEST YET) 『You need to have a good source of hd programming in your area to get the full benifits this tv has to offer. its breath taking. a blu ray player gives full 1080p.but even with 1080i that most cable broad cast in its great to see bright bold colors. it wont make you sea sick on fast pace sports or action movies with the added 120hz. im still in awe of its beauty. if thinking of buying sony dont do it .Samsung is a step above and for less $$$ the 650 is just as nice with a couple less feature not much different for most users.』
(Amazing TV) 『This is an incredible TV. After previewing it at a store, we decided to purchase it online to save a few $$$$. The picture seems to be almost better than when we saw it in the store.
Delivery was a little slower than expected, but, it arrived only one day late. Box arrived with no visible damage at all.
This is a great TV for a bright room. The display is very crisp. Colors are incredible. Sunlight in the room does not take away from the colors on the TV. Setup of the TV was fairly straightforward.
WLink option takes some "tweaking" to get it to work. We are now able to display pictures, play movies and music from our computer directly to the TV. That was a big selling point for us on this TV. Be sure to download the latest version of the share manager software.』
(Awesome all around TV with a little more) 『This LCD TV is amazing. I spent months looking for the right TV for the right price. The color contrast ratio is one of the best on any LCD TV. Playing games, watching HDTV, and Blue Ray is stunning. I only really looked the visual capabilities of the TV's, but was surprised when I turned on the sound of the TV. It's clear and crisp.
The auto motion plus is simply amazing for sports. It's a totally new experience. With 4 HDMI ports there is plenty of to go around for all devices.
The TV has many extra little features like USB side mount that allows very easy access to set up all those home movies.
The info Link is a cool little feature that allows you to see the weather, stock, and news. This is a cool little feature that is just nice to have.
My only negative to this TV has nothing to do with the TV, but the remote itself. It always seems to stop working at random time and work at others. The remote is not nearly as sleek as the TV. But get your self a universal remote and that is simply taken care of.
』
(Great HDTV!) 『I have this TV mounted on my wall using a Peerless Universal tilt wall mount for 37" - 60" flat panel TVs. The TV is great, no problems with shipping, or install. The picture is just fantastic, I have the Direct TV HD with all the bells and whistles. The sound is pretty good when using just the TV, but better with a surround sound receiver and speakers. I have the network hooked to it, and a LACIE NAS drive with all my music and pictures. It all works as expected. I also purchased the Samsung PB-D1500 Blue ray player. This combo is nice as the player is in a cabinet and the TV transmits the remote control signals to it without an additional repeater. I have read other reviews which seemed to suggest that the touch of red was annoying. The Touch of Red does not even light up, it's so subtle that you can only see it when direct sunlight hits it. I'd recommend this TV to anyone I know.

Touch of Color
Inspired by designs from the automotive and fashion industries, Samsung’s unique unique Transparent and Opaque Color molding process creates a clean, smooth finish infused with a hint of a translucent color during the manufacturing process for an ultra-sleek appearance.
InfoLink
Up-to-the-minute access to weather, news, sports and stock information is just a cable and a click away through the HDTV’s Ethernet port and new InfoLink RSS service. An all-new user interface with digital contents management guide provides intuitive navigation and access to both internal and external content.
Auto Motion Plus 120Hz
This technology doubles the frame rate from 60 to 120 frames per second (120Hz LCD panel) without repeating the same image to make more frames. Instead, the TV intelligently calculates the‘middle’ image between frame A and frame B and inserts it in between (Auto Motion Plus 120Hz processor), making a fluid transition from one frame to the next.
Super Clear Panel
Samsung enhances the clarity of select LCD HDTVs by replacing the light-diffusing plastic face of traditional LCD HDTVs with a natural black panel with a clear anti-glare shield. Reduced reflection of external light creates a new dimension in image clarity, highlighting black and darkened areas, enabling vibrant, more compelling colors and a brighter, clearer picture. Black will never again appear grayish. Black details will show in vivid black even in dark scenes.
The latest version of Samsung’s breakthrough super clear panel technology makes colors appear more vibrant and blacks even deeper than ever. Enhanced films reduce glare and optimize off-angle viewing.
50,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio will give you a picture better than you ever thought possible, with whiter whites, blacker blacks and a nearly infinite subtlety of gradations in between. As two of the most important determining factors in overall picture quality, contrast and brightness levels achieve new heights in this latest generation LCD panel. Samsung’s new LCD TV’s give the most stunning realistic picture quality ever.
Full HD 1080P
Full HD, or 1080p, contains 1.5 times more scanning lines than conventional HD TVs. More scanning lines mean more pixels, more details and a better picture. The new Samsung LCD TV with resolution that is approximately 2 times greater than conventional HDTVs, creating the most perfect picture imaginable.
Samsung’s 1080p panel uses a new high-speed liquid crystal to cut response time to 4ms. The fast response time, coupled with Samsung’s Auto Motion Plus 120Hz motion blur reduction technology dramatically reduces motion blur and judder.
Digital Natural Image Engine
DNIe™ The Samsung Digital Natural Image engine. This exclusive Samsung technology dramatically improves the picture by enhancing the contrast, detail, white balance and reduces.
Wide Color Enhancer/Cold Cathode Flourescent Lamp
The NTSC (National Television Systems Committee) has established the color standards all TVs in America try to meet. And typical LCD TVs only meet about 72% of this standard. Samsung LCD HDTVs use Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp backlights to give you 92% coverage of the NTSC standard, ensuring truer, more breathlessly vivid colors.
Samsung’s exclusive Wide Color Enhancer technology delivers more brilliant colors, even in bright areas of the picture where blues and greens are washed out on conventional screens. The system displays wider color reproduction, showing you truer colors – the fresh green of spring foliage, the intense blue of the summer sky.
Connectivity
To make the Series 6 a true entertainment hub for any home, Samsung has incorporated advanced HD connectivity and networking capabilities that expand the HDTV’s functionality. A wide variety of multimedia devices can be connected to the set through any one of the four Simplay compliant HDMI 1.3 inputs (including one on the side), and the handy HDMICEC feature lets you control all your CEC-enabled peripherals using just one remote.
Connect HD digital devices like disc players, game consoles, and satellite dish components into the 2 rear connections and use the side-mounted input for cameras, camcorders, and laptops. HDMI is the best performing interface for displaying an HD source on an HDTV.
Once connected, users can easily access device menus and manage and display content through the newly redesigned Wheel Key Remote control and the HDTV’s sophisticated content management interface.

Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA)
You already know something about digital living. There’s the TV and digital video recorder in your family room. (And another set in your bedroom.) You have a PC and digital printer in your office, along with a network attached storage device. And you’ve copied all your music onto your portable music player and haven’t had to open a CD case for years. But getting them to talk to each other can be pretty tough. Why is it still so difficult to send digital content from one device to another?
Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) is a collaboration of the world’s leading consumer electronics, PC and mobile companies that has created design guidelines for a new generation of products that can work together — no matter the brand.
Think for a moment about all of the photos "locked away" on your home PC that you wish you could access while entertaining your friends and family. Now, thanks to DLNA enabled devices, a DLNA-enabled PC can be accessed from the comfort of your living room or family room via a DLNA-enabled HDTV, where you can enjoy your memories with friends and family, without having to deal with the hassle and non-intuitive "PCexperience".
Or, say you recently downloaded your daughter’s birthday party video from your digital camcorder to your PC. Now you want to share it with your parents who are visiting. Without DLNA, you probably have to burn a DVD of the video or hook up the camcorder to the TV. With DLNA, you can just use your TV’s remote to call up the video on your TV. That’s it.

Audio Features
TruSurround is a patented SRS technology that solves the problem of playing 5.1 multichannel content over two speakers. TruSurround delivers a compelling, virtual surround sound experience through any two-speaker playback system, including internal television speakers and headphones. It is fully compatible with all multichannel formats up to 5.1 channels. High-quality virtual surround sound can be experienced with just the two hidden, downward-firing side-mounted 2.2-channel dome speakers built into the TV.
SRS TruSurround XT technology delivers an amazing, simulated 3D effect with clear dialog and powerful bass.
TruSurround XT audio also adds three audio enhancement technologies to produce an amazingly immersive sound experience.
Dialog Clarity brings movie dialog into Focus during the playback of any surround-encoded material to make speech much clearer and crisper.
TruBass creates incredible deep rich bass allowing a person to perceive significantly deeper, richer low bass tones that are far beyond the physical low frequency capabilities of the speaker itself.
The SRS WOW feature widens the soundstage by processing standard two-channel stereo material as well as multi-channel encoded material for a dramatic improvement in the playback of any stereo audio over a two-speaker system.
Stereo broadcast reception is offered for MTS and SAP with 181-channel capacity. A sound leveler keeps audio volume consistent during channel changing.
Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room?
With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience.
If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get.

Cons: Scan software only remembers the default location for images. Card scanner can't print card images or list. Locked in to Fujitsu's card mgmt software.

(perfect for archiving all those bank statements) 『easy to set up. Great to archive bank statement or pay slips. Organize them in their correct order, feed them to the scanner in batches of 10 or so (i wish it would accept larger amount of paper at once) and it will scan it on both sides very quickly. You can choose to get one pdf per page or 2 pages or one pdf for all pages, including more that 10 pages. When the computer is idle it will ocr the pages so you can search the text. The data is archived in directories so it's easy to organize and backup on a mozy account for example. you can then thrash all the paper and get rid of the huge filing cabinets. Love it.』
(First one DoA, but totally happy nojw) 『The original scanner shipped with a one of the duplex sides all messed up, so I e-mailed Amazon, got an RMA and a new device, dropped the broken one into the box the new one came in, printed out the shipping label and send it back, and the new one was everything I could hope for. In my opinion, this is an amazing product for people on the road who get "hard copies" of documents and documentation and want to digitize them, and it's a wonderful full duplex scanner for anyone who wants to digitize old medical records, etc.』
(This thing rocks!) 『I am the first to admit that I am horrible when it comes to paper management and physical item organization. Electronic organization is anothor thing.
This beautiful piece of technology is slowly but surely liberating me from the paralyzing piles of paper stacked here and there.
This scanner is unbelievably quick. Think of it like sending a document through a fax machine memory. But it scans both sides. Got a two page document? Put the blank sides facing each other and voila! It's scanned!
If something goes in crooked as it is scanning, no worries. The unit self corrects the scanned image to one that is perfectly straight.
Our health care statements come in double sided: one side is portrait&one is landscape. Lo and behold it knows which orientation each page is and saves it that way in the pdf file.
The filing software that comes with it is easy to use.
If I had one design I would like to change on it is the side height on the paper tray feeder but who cares as it straightens out anything that goes in crooked!
I demonstrated this to a couple of co-workers and they have already ordered ones for themselves! As I showed them the features I kept hearing, "No way. No way." :-)
Way to go Fujitsu! Brilliant, brilliant little machine!』
(Great scanner) 『It's fast. Accurate. Small form. The only "complaint" I have about it is that when you put papers in it, it doesn't feel like they're in there securely. It's not like they fit in a slot (like a printer might). Other than that though, great product. Would definitely buy again.』 『Take document scanning to a whole new level with the ScanSnap S300 mobile scanning solution.

With its extremely useful high-speed ISO 400 rating, it provides faithful reproduction of neutral grays with sharply improved fidelity over a wide exposure range from under- to overexposures. It produces superb skin tones with smoothly continuous gradation from the highlights to the shadows, and gives an excellent three-dimensional feeling in such details as fabrics and other textures.

Tiffen
Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (So-so) 『The only thing this filter is good for is protecting the lens from physical damage (dust, prints, scratches, water spots, etc.) Some say that cheap Tiffen filters degrade the quality of the images, but I haven't noticed any degradation. If you want a filter that will actually improve your images, do not get this filter, go with a circular polarizer or a neutral density filter instead. It's better to crack this filter than crack your lens.』
(Simple UV Protector) 『It's just a protection filter. It's does a good work by day though it can create weird flares by night if you are trying to picture below a bright light or if there's one pointing towards you. It also has a weird glass finish in the edges that make it look cheap (even though it is)』
(can't beat it for the price) 『I basically use these more to protect the lens and have never really taken enough photographs without one to know if they make a difference. These can be considered as very inexpensively priced insurance items for your much more expensive lens. I have one of these on every lens I own.』
(Very nice filter) 『Very well made and terrific item. Tiffen is one of the best companies and I have several filters made by them. Very reasonably priced. Tiffen is a great company and their products are top notch!』
(Tiffen Circular Polarizer - This Rocks) 『I went to my local camera shop looking for a filter that would give me the deep blue skies and the nice green landscapes. The 58mm Tiffen was the recommendation but the costs was $70 and that was a bit more than I really wanted to spend.
Of Course, Amazon was the logical next stop and I spent less than 1/2 as much for this lens and it turns out it was worth the price I would have paid at the camera shop. I felt like a thief, but buying smart often seems like this, so I just enjoyed my purchase.
The Camera shop was right, this is the best filter on the market, Tiffen Rocks.』 『Often you want to balance light intensity between two areas within a scene.
