Canon Sure Shot 105 Zoom 35mm Camera Review

I bought a Canon Sureshot (I too thought Canon would be a good bet) and unfortunately, waited over a month to use it. After using it 3 or 4 times, the camera went on the blink for no reason. It just stopped working and would flash a mysterious "H". Still under warranty, I took it to a repair shop, which said they fixed the "O" ring on it. Well, after using it a couple of more times, it stopped working again. At this point, I decided there was something defective about the camera and I just wanted my money back. I could not return it to the store I bought it at as it only had a 30 day return policy. So, I sent it directly to Canon with a letter explaining my problem. Canon said that it did not give refunds and wouldn't even send me a replacement. They assured me they would fix the problem for free (as the warranty states) but then they tried to charge me $80 for it (even though it fell well within the 1 year warranty period and I had only used it for 4 or 5 rolls of film). After much hassle, they finally returned it free of charge and told me they had fixed it. Well, it worked for about 5 more rolls of film before it stopped working again, only this time, I was in the middle of a several month trip in South America. I ended up discarding the damn thing and then had to fork over a fortune for a cheap 35 mm in Ecuador.
In addition, when the camera did work, it didn't seem to work all that well either. There was too much lag time between trying to take the picture and the camera actually taking the shot and the flash was constantly going off- even in broad day light.
So, the camera sucked and Canon's response was even worse, which is why I will never consider buying another one of their products again.

The Canon Sure Shot 105 Zoom is an automatic 35mm point-and-shoot camera that delivers advanced 3x zoom capability at a size and price you might expect from a 2x model. Its feature set includes an automatic flash with red-eye reduction, a self-timer, and fully automatic film loading.
The 38-105mm, f/3.8 to f/9.9 lens enables you to shoot subjects as near as 2 feet or as far as infinity. Whatever the distance, the real-image zoom viewfinder assures accurate picture composition and subject placement. The Sure Shot 105 Zoom takes the guesswork out of focusing with its three-point Smart Autofocus system, providing crisp shots, even when your subject isn't perfectly centered. Film transport is fully automatic with the option of midroll rewind.
This camera comes with a one-year warranty on parts and labor.

X6 Adsl Modem/router Review

X6 Adsl Modem/router
Average Reviews:

I am a DSL user and it seems there are not too many companies catering my needs, which are a combined modem and wireless router. I made the mistake of getting such a box (2wire) from ATT. It would broadcast about 1 meter (I am not kidding), meaning that I had to use an ethernet cable. My next mistake was to get a linksys router to put in front of 2wire (using the 2wire as a modem only). Everytime there was a storm or electrical surge, one or the other reset and claimed the same IP address. I had wires running everywhere and learned more about windows networking than I ever wanted to know. I had to go static IP addresses and bypass DCHP to get anything to work. So, I was trying to choose between d-link and zoom and saw one favourable review for zoom (Lopez), so I took a chance on it. As he says, it works as advertised and I am down to one small box and very few wires. The wireless is faster than the linksys. I only give the warning that, if you are like me and have other things installed that you are switching out, you should uninstall any software and get rid of old network connections. Also, this router has an on/off switch that is set to off. I suffered a momentary heart skip when I plugged it in and no light came on. The manual is fairly good (pdf) but is not savable on hard disk which is not too reasonable (you can print it). Now, if ATT would bundle a quality product like this, it would surely enhance its image as an IP. Does that notion require a Harvard MBA?
