Monster 300 for HDMI cable.......2007-12-25
Fantastic cable, using it with my HD DVD Player to my HDTV and it looks absolutely amazing!
NOT RATED FOR 1080P!!!!!!.......2007-11-29
The cable didn't earn the single star, Amazon did.
The technical details said:
"For high definition video (720p, 1080i, 1080p) or standard video formats."
This is an outright LIE! The package itself says specifically that the cable is for "up to 1080i". That doesn't mean this cable can't handle 1080p, I'm sure it will, I'm just angry because I bought this cable because the details said 1080p and that is what I wanted to buy.
This HDMI cable works!!.......2007-10-22
This cable is not a scam...For all those that think it is you need to get your eyes checked or get a better quality HD TV. I purchased this 300 cable brand new from a third party here on Amazon. I will admit I was a bit skeptical when I hooked it up to my Samsung 1080 40" (LNT4061F). I was using my Verizon FIOS's 3 cable component that came standard with the set top box but was not getting a real good HD picture on my HD channels. I noticed what I feel is a huge difference that HDMI hookup offers in clarity in HD. I was really amazed. If you have the HDMI hookup, i strongly advise you to get an HDMI cable for it. Why spend $[...] on a TV and not want to spend that extra $[...] that Amazon is selling a brand new Monster 3ft. HDMI cable for?
Ultimate scam.......2007-09-26
First off, no, I didn't buy this product. I didn't need to simply because I already knew how the scam works; Monster's marketing thinks (correctly) that their customers are either gullible enough, or just plain stupid enough to toss out 500% more money for "oxygen free", gold-plated connectors. Even if the extra manufacturing was worth the added cost (which of course it's not), there is NO NEED FOR IT WITH A DIGITAL SIGNAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Digital signal are checksum-corrected. You either get a freaking signal at 100% of the source quality, or you get nothing - period. Digital signals don't "degrade" like analog. You can toss all the oxygen-free copper at it you want, but you might as well toss it in the garbage for all the good it'll do you.
Those gold-plated connectors? LOL!. I can guarantee the inside of your set-top box is tin and maybe nickel if you're lucky. It's simply a waste of money. If you spend $5 for an HDMI cable it's going to have the exact same quality as a $800 cable. Go ahead, toss out the green... Those people hallucinating about how their color is more saturated on this cable or that cable are the same people who respond to placebos in FDA testing. If you paid $800 for YOUR HDMI cable, of course you need to justify your stupidity somehow.
Bottom line is these are digital cables for digital signals. Not optical, not analog. Color doesn't "degrade" because "color" is a zero or a one.
WORTH MORE THAN THREE STARS.......2007-09-04
SOME OF YOUR OTHER REVIEWERS FEEL ALL OF THESE SPECIALIST CABLES ARE A
WASTE OF MONEY AND THAT VIRTUALLY ALL CABLES PRODUCE THE SAME IMAGE
QUALITY REGARDLESS OF PRICE.MY OWN EXPERIENCE IS THAT THIS CABLE MADE
A NOTICEABLE DIFFERENCE TO THE QUALITY OF THE IMAGES PRODUCED BY MY
BUDGET SONY LCD AND HD BOX.IMAGES WERE SHARPER AND COLOURS MORE NATURAL
AND VIBRANT COMPARED TO THE CHEAP HDMI LEAD WHICH I HAD USED PREVIOUSLY.
IT SEEMS TO ME THAT SOME REVIEWERS HAVEN'T EVEN BOUGHT THIS LEAD BUT
SIMPLY WANTED TO DISPARAGE ALL SUCH CABLES.I AM SURE IF YOU BUY THIS CABLE
YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED.IT IS ALSO VERY WELL CONSTRUCTED.TRY IT OUT!!!

Decent Starter Digital Camera.......2006-08-13
Bought this for my son and myself - considering what it is, it works great! Basic starter camera with decent quality and flash, and no film to develop. Should you need it, it includes an SD slot. My personal opinion on some of these other reviews is expectations were too high...
I remember when $50 got you a 640x480 worthless digital camera. If you can get this for under $30 you are getting a terrific deal! (I wouldn't pay the suggested retail of $50-60 myself)
Don't bother using the included software; just plug in with the included USB cable and windows XP will pop up and see the camera as removable media.
My first digital camera was a 1.3 MP Sony Cybershot that cost $400. Nowadays, $400 gets you a much better camera, but 1.3MP still gives you a decent picture. My Cell phone supposedly has 1.3MP quality, but this batman camera is better.
I use mine for my blog (works great on the go, don;t have to sweat dmaaging my $300 "good" camera, and for my son - well, my first camera as a child was a 110 camera. This is much better as 1) it has flash
2) quality is about the same and
3) no wasted film development becasue the 5-year-old took a picture of his thumb.
Face it, if you're going to blow money on a disposable camera or a first camera for a child, you cannot possibly do better than this for under $50.
Coming from a Batman-obsessed 20-yr-old female.......2006-04-25
I would like to start off by saying this: I have a very nice Olympus camera, 4.0 megapixel, Swivel 2.3" LCD screen--beautiful camera.... Then I thought my dreams came true when I found the Batman camera at WalMart, where my boyfriend and I were looking for a gift for his nephew. I was very much eager to purchase the item as soon as I found a register!
I wanted a "just-for-fun," cute camera that I can show off to my peers. The first thing I noticed upon opening the package was that it was less durable than I thought it would be. Long story, short...I placed a 256 SD card inside and took about 30+ pictures. When I turned it on again to take more, I pressed the shutter button and found that all my previous pictures had been erased! It was for some unknown reason! I took 30+ more pictures and came to the same conclusion! I realized that as I turned it on more frequently, the menu sometimes went straight to the "Format Memory Card" mode!! I was infuriated for quite a while...but I had already bought the camera, and it was a hit with my friends, so I'm deciding to keep it. So, unfortuantely, I'll just have to keep an eye on where the menu would just suddenly jump to. It's such an odd little camera, but you get what you pay for......even if I've had better cameras for the same price...I wish they would come out with a better Batman camera that looked just as nice.
By the way, the 1.3 megapixel is the same as my phone's camera...so maybe that should have told me something in the first place...??
Get real people...........2006-04-22
I just recently bought one of these cameras (actually bought two of them), when I ran across them in the bargain bin at the local Wal-mart. Picked them up pretty cheap. Had been looking for a small cheap digital camera and these seem to fit the bill. Prior to getting this camera, I looked at another cheap one that was being sold as an impulse item next to the cash registers - a really small digital camera that was on a key ring. Anyway the price for the Batman camera was in the same range and it had a number of other features that the other camera didn't. Anyway, that's how I came to buy this thing.
Now for my thoughts on the camera itself. The packaging states that this camera is suitable for kids 5 and up. I'm not sure that is the case. The camera's outer shell is made of some pretty insubstantial plastic - what you might typically find used in the construction of most typical toy items. I don't know if the camera would hold up to the abuse that I've seen most 5 year old (and older) kids put their toys through today. My guess is the sliding cover that protects the lens would be the first to get snapped off. Also other problem I can see a child having is getting this camera wet. The case has numerous places where it would be possible for dirt & liquids can get into the insides of this case. Overall, given how I've seen the average child treat their toys (and pretty much anything else they are given) - I think the minimum age for this camera is more around 13+. Adult supervision might make for them saying the camera is suitable for a five year old.
All that said, I actually found this camera to be something that could possible work for what I need it for. I know a number of the other reviews slammed the picture quality and there is some justification for that - but I think it's more of a case of unrealistic expectations. Personally, I think that many people today (especially those under 40) have developed some unrealistic expectations - either that or they just don't think things through very well. One of the first things I noticed about this camera is it says on the front of the camera "1.3 MEGA PIXELS", about five-six years ago I bought a pretty expensive camera that also had the capability of doing 1.3 mega pixels images. But there is a huge difference between what that camera was capable of doing and what I suspected (and found) this Batman camera was able to do. One reason for that is the lenses, the expensive camera has a pretty large lens - one that I suspect is made up of high quality optic elements. The Batman camera on the other hand has a very small lens opening and I'm guessing some fairly so-so optic elements (wouldn't be surprised it was made of plastic or at least cheap glass). I noticed right away just looking at the camera in the store that the lens was pretty small. Another difference between the expensive camera and the Batman one - the Batman camera doesn't appear to have any auto-exposure capability, it seems to be set to somebody's guess at an average light level. All of this added up to my expectations that the camera wouldn't be giving me the same quality of pictures as what the other camera could. The images that the BM camera does produce are at time somewhat out of focus and somewhat over/under exposed. But given that it has a small lens and that can amplify any camera jiggle and give you blurry pictures that's to be expected. Outside during the day or inside in a well lighted area (and who wants kids to play in someplace not well lit) the camera pictures are fairly evenly exposed, the only problem is in places where the overall light isn't very even.
As I mentioned above, there are some unrealistic expectations I think. Back when I was a kid, the camera that we (kids) got to use was usually one of the cheap 126 style cameras (these were the ones that took the square pictures) and then later the 110 cameras. Most times those cheap cameras also suffered from the same problems as this BM camera - small / cheap optics and no way to manually set the exposure. To see what 'great' quality these pictures were - get some of your parents / aunts or uncles to dig out some of their photo albums from the seventies and look at how out-of-focus and grainy the pictures were.
Bottom line, you want high quality pictures - pay the money and get a really good camera - one not dressed up as a toy for a 5 year old.
the hideous beeping..........2006-03-10
i bought this because i wanted a cheap digital camera to take photos with. when i finally got the thing turned on... it beeped for about 30 seconds and then shut itself off. many many times.
i called tech support, and they said they'd exchange it because the camera was eating batteries. finally, after a half hour on the phone. all i have to say is... batman would not approve of this camera. it's loud, unrealiable, and bundled with irritating software. do not buy it.
Could this thing possibly be worse?.......2006-02-12
We just bought this camera for our five year old son at Wal-Mart for $20. We have been wanting a camera for him and this sounded like a great buy. Unfortunately, when we brought it home and tried to use it, we could not get it to work at all. We tried using both an MMC and an SD but it would not work with either. After inserting the card, the camera would not do anything. It even locked up a couple of times, requiring the batteries be removed to turn the camera off. After doing this, the battery cover would not go back on and stay on.
Needless to say, Wal-Mart will be getting this back! It's too bad I can't give 0 stars on here!

THIS IS A 2 CHANNEL HELICOPTER.......2007-07-28
The description is ABSOLUTELY FALSE/MISLEADING. The helicopter contols only consist of a thottle (up/down) and tail rotor (spin lt/rt). IT DOES NOT HAVE FORWARD AND BACK CONTROL. The helicopter is (apparently) balanced so that in flight, it has a slightly forward tilt which results in a forward motion. It appears to be fairly stable, but I cannot tell for sure because the tail rotor did not work on mine, (NEW RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX.)
I have bought four different RC toys via the internet. NONE of them have worked.
