Don't waste your money.......2007-08-03
This is the product that was recommended to me when I purchased my MP3 player. Although, I told the salesperson that I had a aux. for MP3's in my vehicle. I don't believe he understood me. I thought I would give it a try. It is totally worthless to me. There are four FM stations to choose from. You are supposed to choose the clearest one that does not have a transmission. The problem is, there are stations on all four choices in my area. If I drive around I can pick up the MP3 occasionally. I just received a MP3 Musicconnect by Monster that I ordered through Amazon and it works perfectly.
Meh..........2007-04-26
Range is not that great. In close area's with not a lot of frequency usage, it's great. Not good for volume either...Definitely worth the cost though.
Doesn't work in urban areas, I keep getting static........2005-07-11
The low frequencies (
<90 MHz) seem to be tied up in Seattle. I have a XM radio that can also transmit FM at the higher frequencies (106.5>), and that works much better. Stay away from this product, buy something that can do both the low and the high frequencies.
needs some work done on it by the consumer..........2005-06-20
I bought this, and i didnt like the idea of having to pay $10 more for the tunecast 2 at walmart. So i bought the TC 1. This thing sucks out of the box! It is in desperate need of an antenna for starters... Well, i used it for about a month, then, it just started going downhill-sound got crappier, kept eating batteries...just a pain...
So a few weeks later...me, being the adventurous person i am, took the product apart to see the 'goods'inside. Upon getting inside, i spied an 'Inductance coil' smothered in wax. As any electronics hobbyist will tell you, DO NOT touch these as if you accidentally move one of the wraps of the coil, the frequency changes. Wellllllllll, i just had to! So i did, and guess what-The whole coil fell off into my hand! I was sitting there thinkin "jeeze, im really screwed now!' So that was late at night. The next morning, i was digging thru my closet and found an old nonworking car cdplayer that my friend gave me about a year back. Just for kicks, i took it apart, and what was the most glorious thing i saw inside?? AN INDUCTANCE COIL! I immediately grabbed my soldering iron and de-soldered the 3 coils off the board. I then, brought them over, and soldered them onto the back of the mainboard of my tunecast. (i had to put them on the nubs of the old solder on the back of the board because i couldnt get in the small space with the soldering iron, if i would have put it on the front with all the other components) Well, i had it all soldered on, turned on, and hooked up to my cd player, i turned my cdplayer/radio on, to a station i desired (i picked 102.0, just because i wanted to...) and took my pocket knife and proceded to spread apart the wraps of the coil, one by one. (there are about 7 wraps) Basically, you just screw around spread one here and spread one there, do a few in the middle pretty soon you'll hear the song playing on the radio! Congratulations you have just tuned in your signal. Now, most likely, you will hear your song, but when you remove the knife from between the coils, you'll loose everything. DONT GET TICKED-IT HAPPENS!. Just spread the some a little more, if you see some that look too wide, close em up! pretty soon, youll have a signal that you dont have to hold the knife in to hear. You should also note that doing this modification overrides the 4 station selector switch-it will do nothing. If your tunecast currently works, you risk killing the thing all together. Also, when you put the new coil on the back of the board, you can no longer fit it in the case. it looks trashy but it works. Just put a drop of superglue on the headphone wires where the go on, and a drop on the wires going to and from the battery's and the on-off switch, just to make sure they dont come off. Also, DO -NOT- put a drop of superglue or ANYTHING on the coil to hold it down. The solder will have to do a good enough job. For the curious ones out there who want to know what happens if you DO put glue on the coil: It messes up the inductance properties of the coil and changes the frequency. I made that mistake the first time, with the first coil-I had my station all tuned in to what i wanted and i put one small drop of glue on it, and it faded right out. Now, im searching for a way to put some sort of antenna on this. All the attempts i have tried have involved melting the solder holding the existing antenna wire on, and slipping another one in there. That didnt work...but im still spawning ideas. Basically just play around with it, if you like feeling adventurous. And yes i know, if its working pretty good, but not good enough and you do something that messes it up, you WILL kick yourself, all the while saying 'why cant i leave good enough alone!?'...Dont worry, i did it too, a few times....
Good luck and happy modding....
Poor for big cities.......2005-05-20
The previous review was right - this transmitter is NOT FOR BIG CITIES. I live in Houston and all four of the preset stations are actually already being used here (hard to believe, but true). The weak signal of this device cannot overpower the FM stations here in Houston and so what you get is mostly static.
However, Belkin makes a better model that has the entire FM dial avaliable, and I have had a pretty good experience with it. It is called the TuneCast II FM Transmitter (F8V3080. It costs a few dollars more (I think it was $50, whereas I paid $30 for this cheap one) but it is worth it if you live in a big city. The Tunecast II allows you to find stations that are available as you drive around the city, and it emits a stronger signal (at least it seems to) than this model.
BTW, if anyone can find the older, analog FM transmitters, they actually have a stonger FM signal and always worked great for me back in the 90s...

This stinks for the price.......2005-12-28
This item advertised that it held most 7inch screen DVD players. I bought Polaroid brand for my kids for Christmas. Unless you only want to carry the player itself and one unprotected DVD (Cases don't fit in the compartment for DVDs), forget it. The only other accessory that does fit it the remote which isn't of much use when traveling since the player isn't far from you. This case is a total waste in my opinion and I was very disenchanted. I would recommend buying a case specifically made by the company that made the DVD player that you purchased.
My whole reasoning for buying a case was so that my kids wouldn't lose all of the components and they don't fit in this one so I defeated my purpose altogether. I guess they can use them for gameboys or short travel.
Too Small for the Accessories.......2004-03-05
I needed a case for my cyberhome portable dvd player and this case seemed the logical choice. The case itself consistes of four compartment: 1. Cable Storage 2. Remote Storage 3. DVD player storage 4. DVD-ROM storage. After unpacking the case and loading it up with the dvd player and accessories, it was apparent this case will not hold all the accessories that came with the player. I even tried using the DVD-ROM storage area. However, the case will not close if that pouch is too full. I think this problem would have been solved if cyberhome had added an inch or so to the width. In retrospect, I would not have purchased this case.
Very Nice.......2004-01-02
This is a great carrying case for your cyberhome dvd player. It is very stylish and good quality and holds all your parts for the dvd player and even has a little extra space for some dvds. Mine came with the dvd player but this is sold seperatly here- but it is worth the money and is nice carrying case.
Product Description
Casio EXILIM EX-S 2 is just perfect. Super thin and stylish, it is also incredibly functional. A high-resolution megapixel CCD provides 2.0 million effective pixels (2.11 million total pixels) for images that print beautifully. Fixed focus eliminates the need for lens movement, which shortens startup time and shooting time. Simply select the sample scene that matches the type of image you are trying to record and the camera performs troublesome setups automatically for beautiful pictures every time. DCF (Design rule for Camera File system) data storage protocol provides image intercompatibility between the digital camera and printers.
Amazon.com Review
Casio calls their Exilim EX-S2 a wearable card camera, and it lives up--or should we say down--to that name. About the size and heft of a deck of cards (at .44 inches, it's even a bit thinner), the EX-S2 can be worn around the neck and barely be noticed.
And Casio packs what it can into the tiny frame. The camera captures 2-megapixel still images and AVI movies (without sound) at 320 by 240 pixels. Its 1.6-inch TFT LCD is bright enough to use for framing shots and viewing captured images in daylight. And the built-in flash carries about six feet--some indoor images taken farther than that from our subjects appeared a little dark.
But, otherwise, images proved to be bright and crisp, with rich and realistic colors. Outdoor images were as good as much larger and more expensive cameras, while indoor shots within the EX-S2's flash range were sharp enough to print out.
The tiny docking station that ships with the camera recharges the battery and provides a link to your PC (you can't connect the camera to your computer without going through it). The EX-S2 includes 12 MB of internal memory that can be expanded by purchasing an optional Secure Digital memory card.
Of course, the small size does constrain the camera features. There's no optical zoom on the EX-S2--only a 4x digital zoom instead of a preferred optical zoom. And the 2-megapixel limit is best for snapshots and medium-quality enlargements up to 8 x 10.
But if it's portability and ease of use that you want from your camera, you won't find many that will fit as snugly in a pocket or around your wrist than this miniscule yet still powerful device. --J. Curtis
Pros:
- Extremely tiny and lightweight
- High-quality images
- Good features for its size.
Cons:
- No optical zoom
- Only 2-megapixel resolution
Amazon.com Product Description
With a super-slim design and having the height and length of a credit card, the Casio Exilim EX-S2 is sure to have heads turning as you effortlessly snap high-quality digital photos. Don't let the size fool you, the EX-S2 is equipped with a 2.11-megapixel sensor, 12 MB of built-in memory, and full-motion movie recording.
Optics and Resolution
The 2.11-megapixel CCD sensor captures sharp and brilliant images of up to 1,600 by 1,200 pixels, creating prints with sizes of up to 8 by 10 inches. Focusing is fixed for effortless operation, and the 4x digital zoom brings you up close to the action. Most other digital cameras are slow in operation, but the Exilim's speedy start-up time, lens, and CPU get to work so that, when the camera's turned on, a photo is taken in 0.01 seconds of pressing the shutter, capturing that otherwise lost moment.
Storage and Transfer
Images are stored on 12 MB of internal memory, which stores about 24 images with settings at normal resolution. If you want more memory, the expansion slot is compatible with any MMC or SD memory card. You can quickly and easily transfer your files onto a PC or Mac using the USB port for computer editing and sharing with friends and family.
Movie Mode
In addition to taking still photos, the Exilim can also record AVI movie clips. The movie can be as long as 30 seconds at a resolution of 320 by 240 pixels.
More Features
Many of the Exilim's settings can be modified, such as programmed exposure, white balance, and flash. When you shoot in the "best shot" mode you can select a stored photo that looks similar to the photo you want to take and the camera automatically sets up to achieve that look. You can easily keep track of all these modes using the large 1.6-inch color LCD screen.
Power, Size, and Contents
The Exilim comes with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, which has an approximate battery life of 65 minutes. The camera itself measures 3.46 by 2.16 by 0.44 inches and weighs 3.1 ounces without the battery. Other standard accessories are a hand strap, CD-ROM with imaging software, USB cradle and cable, and AC adapter for cradle.
Customer Reviews:
Poor customer service.......2006-09-27
Casio has a history of poor service after the sale. This camera will work for a while, but don't expect to much more than give it a toss if it malfunctions. I bought one of these Casio Exilim models 3 years ago. Since that time, the viewer cracked and the cost of the repair was 90% of the camera's price. Then the software began to malfunction, intermittently, by that time out of warranty. I find Casio has great features on paper but after the sale service not at all satisfactory. Now I have a very simple 5MP Kodak Easyshare. And judging from user reviews, Kodak will turn around a broken camera in 48 hours. I'll take that over a bunch of bells and whistles anyday.
SUPERB CAMERA FOR TRAVELERS.......2005-02-19
I got my Exilim for taking pictures while traveling, mainly around Europe for three months. The best feature is the small size, small enough to slip unnoticeably in my pocket T-shirt pocket. Pick pockets are abound in Europe, tho violent crime is far less. Being able to carry my camera unnoticeably was great. If you want to make large prints of your travels, a camera with 5 or more mega pixels should be the choice, but the postcard size 4 X 6" prints I made of the trip were excellent and comparable to the 35mm point and shoot cameras I have used. There are many options, such as setting the white balance, which is very useful, that you wouldn't expect on such small camera. Pictures taken in very low light conditions, such as in a darkened night club, are not good, but you do get severely grainy, off color images if it's necessary to take a picture. The 30 second video clips are much lower resolution than 2MP but can be fun to use. I cannot complain about the 3500 pictures I took in Europe and more than that in the US in the first six months of ownership. The battery allowed my chip limit of 120 or so pictures, as long as I could keep from constantly checking to see how the days shots were working. Do all the editing at the end of the day. I did have my laptop with me to download the days pictures. It takes 483 pictures with my new 512MP chip. Enough that my trip to SE Asia for a month later held most of what I took, with no laptop to download to. No more wishing I had a camera on hand if that special moment occurs.
Quick Shot & Size is ultra-convenient.......2005-02-14
I can snap away at those precious shots that we normally lose due to slow shutter speeds. Just be careful, this thing is so small and convenient that I have taken too many pictures. Hopefully I will print most of them before they get lost. The clarity of 2 MegaPixels is amazing... =).
One the negative side: Flash is a bit weak so taking group photos in low light is not a good idea.
By far the best point and shoot i ever owned!.......2005-01-13
I absolutely LOVE this camera. I would label myself as an "advanced" photographer, having done studio work, shows, and used various formats, but i never forget my roots in why i began liking photography- SNAPSHOTS!!! Nothing is better than coming back from that fun night of dancing and having hiliarious shots of you and your friends busting a move. Or remembering that you have a camera in your pocket when you run into an old friend or some other unique situation. This camera is so tiny, you can shove it in your pocket even when wearing tight clothes, and it's barely noticable. It's also extremely durable. Being the klutz that i am, i have dropped this camera a billion times and even spilled POP on it, and it still works perfectly. Also, i have never even purchased a memory card for it. The ten megs of internal memory is good enough if you are just takign shots for the web/online photo albums. I set my resolution lower and i can usually get about 60-80 pics out of the 10 megs. I have even tried printing some of those pictures, and they actually came out pretty decent.
I wouldn't recommend this camera to someone who is taking precious shots of their baby and they want to print them and put into an album, but i would recommend it to anyone who wants fun snapshots on the go, has always been bogged down by the inconvenience of NOT having a pocket-size camera, and views most of their photos online. This thing is fun, hip, and extremely convenient for the spontaneous snap-shotter.
Well thought out design.......2004-06-16
I bought this camera around Christmas time and I have absolutely loved it. I needed a point and shoot digital that I wouldn't have to think about adjusting, and this camera is perfect. It has the little signs of being designed well: really fast start up time, very quick shutter response, it retains settings on shutdown (my first camera chraged the flash all the time and ate batteries like there was no tomorrow), and the list goes on. It has the feel of a well thought-out product, the way something like an ipod does. I highly recommend it!
