2 out of 5 stars Works but flawed.......2007-12-23

The product works but seems to need to "warm up" before the picture comes in without blanking in and out.

1 out of 5 stars Does not work as advertised - I returned it.......2007-12-01

This device would not "let go" of an active input, even with manual switching and so the second input would never be active. I literally had to uplug one HDMI input to get the other to work - useless! I returned it to Amazon and bought a Radio Shack 3 x 1 HDMI switch that can be remotely controlled from my DVD player's remote. That works perfectly. Stay away from this one.

4 out of 5 stars Video Switching is good..........2007-05-30

I used this switch for the video portion only and it worked without any problem. Both inputs have good image and the automatic switc worked fine.

5 out of 5 stars It works for me - but I dont use the Audio feature of the HDMI.......2007-04-16

This switch works very well for me. I have an HP Plasma TV with only 1 HDMI input, 1 HDTV Cable Box, 1 PS3, 1 Sony Receiver with 3 Optical Audio Inputs.
So, I have the Cable Box and the PS3 HDMI cables going into the Smart HDMI Switch - and 1 HDMI cable going from the Smart HDMI switch into the TV.
The picture quality is just as good as it was before (when I have either the Cable box or the PS3 going into the TV) - despite the fact that the signal is now traveling through 12 foot of HDMI cable (Someone told me that the HDMI cables shouldnt be longer than 10 feet or they lose quality).

The reason why I dont need the audio feature is because I have optical audio cables going from the Cable Box / PS3 into the Sony receiver.
I had it setup like this from the beginning so for me its not a problem.

About the Smart Switch: It works just like it says it will, if the Cable box is powered on then I get the cable signal. I switch the Cable box off - and turn the PS3 on and the Smart Switch goes into the PS3 signal.

Just like that! Now, I have read other reviews saying that there may be a problem with the audio signals. In this case make sure that you can return this Smart Switch without any hassles - if it doesn't work for you.





1 out of 5 stars ZERO Star would be better choice if available.......2007-03-30

To be expected from a parent company that produces low end car audio equipment. What good is a product that for me too fails on Audio with DTV-HD receiver. Only in my case, no degree of work arounds make it even usable in a handicaped mode. I will be seeking a return on this ASAP.

    Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX1S 8MP Digital Camera with 4x Image Stabilized Optical Zoom (Silver)

    Product Description

    Panasonic's Lumix Digital Camera automatically starts with an edge. A LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT Lens delivers superior optics and an astouning 28mm (equivalent) focal length for a wider visual angle than most other digital-camera models offer. The DMC-LX1 features a 4x optical zoom with a 28 to 112mm capability (35mm equivalent). This and a 1/1.65" diagonal CCD with 8.4 million effective pixels give you superb image quality over a wide shooting range. The Extended Optical Zoom, which minimizes the image degradation that normally occurs with digital zooming, gives you up to 5x zooming power. Normal hand jitter is a common cause for blurred results. The DMC-LX1 has a built-in gyrosensor that detects any hand movement and relays a signal to a tiny microcomputer inside the camera, which instantly calculates the compensation needed. A linear motor then shifts the Optical Image Stabilizer lens as necessary to guide incoming light from the image straight to the CCD. You won't even notice it working--all you'll see are the outstanding results. Multiple aspect ratios result in different still picture resolutions - 4 - 3 Aspect Ratio (Still Image) up to 2880 x 2160; 3 - 2 Aspect Ratio (Still Image) up to 3248 x 2160; 16 - 9 Aspect Ratio (Still Image) up to 3840 x 2160 Video movie capture up to 640x480 2.5 Bright TFT LCD screen with easy to follow menu operation 2 Self-timer modes PictBridge mode allows printing images without a computer Audio with movie and still capture modes (up to 5 seconds per still picture) Uses SD Memory Storage (32MB included) (J&R suggest purchasing an optional SD memory card of 256MB or higher for practical use) Includes Rechargeable Battery - Up to 240 pictures per charge (CIPA Standard) and AC Charger, Data Transfer Software, USB and AV Cables, Lens Cap, Strap Unit Dimensions (H x W x D) 2.20'' x 4.16'' x 1.01'' / Weighs about 8 ounces

    5 out of 5 stars Best in class........2006-09-12

    I've worked for many years in the photo/video business as a camera operator for some of the top news shows on television and can honestly say this camera is current technology at its best.

    It is small, solid and able to take stunning photographs and save as data - raw - for the best in image preservation. Having raw data is to digital what having the original negative is to film.

    After using this camera for about a year now I can't report one negative... it is the best point and shoot camera.

    It does have small chips and all the attentive drawbacks like low dynamic range, noise at higher iso, blooming highlights, etc.. All digital still cameras under $2000 use small chips.

    Use your photography skills to work around the limits and you'll be rewarded with technically outstanding photos... I know a National Geo photog who regularly uses one on assignment. Another friend shot Katrina with one for AP.

    It is a very sturdy camera, highly portable, well designed with intuitive controls, and capable to taking fine art quality photos. The wide end of the excellent leica lens is comparable to 28mm in the 35mm format and very clean. In the end analysis, it is a very well engineered piece. In fact, Leica is selling basically the very same camera, but with a titanium body, as the D-lux2... the electronics and glass are the same.... for quite a few more $$$.

    One of my all time favorite cameras (and I regularly shoot with cameras that approach six figures - Pro HD video and have worked with stills from hasselblad, nikon, mamiya, contax, leica... )

    4 out of 5 stars Panasonic Lumix LX1.......2006-08-11

    I love this camera as an alternative to my Nikon D200 whenever weight or space is an issue. It is one of the few pocket-size cameras on the market that can give you the option to shoot in RAW and offers extensive manual control. The Leica lens is superb and so is the picture quality. Manual control is available for most features I would like to have control over. The controls are easily accessible and intuitive despite the small size of the camera. The 16:9 picture format is great for landscape shots. I use this format most of the time. Image stabilization works very well. Noise is not really an issue if one shots in manual mode with a low ISO. The price is a bit heavy. However, I could not find a comparable camera (RAW format, manual controls, small size etc) at a more competitive price.


    I wholeheartedly recommend this camera to any photographer who is looking for a pocket-size camera with extensive manual control and the possibility to shoot in RAW.

    3 out of 5 stars So So! Very bad video! Sorry Panasonic!.......2006-07-20

    I have had just about every digital camera you can mention - but this is the first review I've written. I really wanted to like (actually love) this camera - could not wait to get it! Wow - I.S., 8MP, Leica lens - what else could you want! Well - I also bought a Canon SD700 a few weeks ago too (both cameras still within return dates) so I put them to the test. Bottom line - the Canon won hands down! By the way, I also have a Sony P200 - the Canon is still much better. Back to the Panasonic review - pictures were OK - actually not bad, nothing really special - the 16:9 is nice but the pictures appear smaller so you need to zoom in a bit. However the Canon was just as good even at only 6 MP! I use the video option a lot and don't even bother with my old Video Camera anymore. Over the last two week I went to two weddings and produced very nice little videos for the couples only using the Canon SD700 (no shakes to make people sea sick). Clear and sharp video with that little SD700 (you can even zoom in although it gets pixilated a bit). Unfortunately, the Panasonic is pretty very bad at video, no zooming, blurry, and jumpy - and you also must use .mov format to view vs. the more common .avi for the Canon. On the outside - the Panasonic is larger than the Canon and the lens sticks out and use an old fashioned lens cap - now that would be acceptable if the other functions of the camera we good. All in all - I've returned the Panasonic and will keep the Canon - just one man's (I mean person's) opinion!

    5 out of 5 stars Best camera under $800.......2006-06-27

    If you need a better camera than DMC-LX1 you will need to buy a $800 camera or more...

    5 out of 5 stars A terrific digital camera........2006-05-08

    This camera is very useful and practical it basicely has alot of functions some which I haven't used yet but I'm getting there. If you are a regular customer looking for the highest quality photos with amazing clarity and thats entirely versatile for landscapes, people and everything else then I highly recomend this Panasonic Lumix LX1 Digital Camera, based on a recomendation from the electronics store and a friend and the fact that it was cost efficient I didn't regret buying this pocket sized camera. It has an Optical image stabilizer which means that the images do not appeare blurry even if your not an expert and the 28mm wide angle lens has an aspect ratio of 16:9 with 8.4 Megapixel LEICA DC VARIO Lens, this camera also has 4x optical zoom with a wide 28mm field of view (35mm) when shooting in the 16:9 aspect ratio at 8 megapixel resolution you also have a quick choice of three aspect modes that you can use this from a switch at the top of the lens barrel you can switch from a normal 4:3,wide 16:9 or the 3:2 used in film cameras.
    The manual exposure and manual focus can be used from the small joystick thingy on top of the camera, you'll have a menu system that sets the aperture, shutter speed and focus with your thumb while viewing the LCD monitor. The 2.5 LCD monitor has a high resolution 207,000 pixel and is also good for night time shots you can see everything with the brightness veiwing.
    There is a function used in the flexible single switch focusing which includes five modes, there is another function which I thought was pretty awsome The Mega Burst consecutive shooting, you can get 3 frames per second with 5 images in fine mode and 9 images in standard mode.
    When I played the images back on the PC I didn't see any faults with the pictures which I thought was amazing since I'm not the best at photographing but I have improved with this camera, it makes things a whole lot easier. I cannot recomend this camera highly enough it is absolutely brilliant and good for traveling or taking pictures indoors its allways going to be usefull. These are some of the contents in the box when you purchase this item you get a battery pack, battery charger, SD Memory card, USB driver, USB connection cable, a cd-rom Lumix simple viewer ect.
