One arrived defective.......2000-07-23
One of the two cables that I ordered arrived defective. The one that worked is working fine.
I love the Madness Extension Cable.......1999-11-26
This extension cable allows a lot more freedom when using the Dreamcast system. It makes for better gameplay and can improve your ability while using the game. The price is perfect and well worth it I reccomend this product to all Dream cast owners or buyers, especially if your going to bye Resident Evil.

Amazon.com Product Description
Combining advanced Pentax lens technology with a detailed digital imaging system and some advanced features, the Optio S40 is well-suited to be the family's digital camera. It's encased in a compact aluminum body designed to stand up to the knocks and dings of travel, and its features make it accessible to photographers of all skill levels.
Optics and Resolution
Featuring a 4-megapixel CCD sensor, the Optio S40 delivers photo-quality prints at sizes up to 11 by 15 inches. The camera has an smc Pentax 3x optical zoom lens, which is equivalent to 35-105mm lens for the 35mm film format. Combined with 2.6x digital zoom, the S40 can magnify images up to 7.8x.
Movie Mode
The Optio S40 can capture short video clips with sound in movie mode. The maximum length of the movies this camera can capture is governed by resolution settings, framerate, and memory card size, but generally these movies are a few minutes in length. While they aren't camcorder quality, these types of video clips are fun and convenient, and they're perfect as e-mail attachments. You can even watch and listen to them on the camera's built-in color LCD screen and speaker.

Customer Reviews:
This is not a good camera.......2007-08-05
We bought this camera 1-1/2 years ago. It was being discontinued and we got it for what we thought was a good deal. We very quickly learned that the pictures come out very dark, sometime almost black. Not just indoors either, pictures taken outside are very dark too. Videos are quite difficult to see when playing back. About a week ago, the camera died completely. We've always been very careful with our camera and have never dropped it or anything. The screen doesn't work and we can't take pictures now. I suppose it's a good thing because now we can actually get a good camera.
Good camera for the price.......2007-05-30
I was given this camera as a gift and it has been a really reliable camera. It takes very good pictures and has functions that are helpful. It takes pretty good movies as well. The fact that it uses SD memory cards is good being that SD memory is cheap. I bought a Kingston 1GB SecureDigital Flash Card ( SD/1GB ) (Retail Package) and that has worked very well. It is actually a very versatile camera too. I've had it in Iraq with me for 10 months, taken hundreds of pictures with it, dropped it, sat on it, let it ride all over the place in a duffle bag, and spill soda on it, and it still works as good as the day I got it. It is fairly small, so it fits in a pocket or in a cupholder great. It takes AA batteries which I was kind of skeptical about at first, but I bought some Energizer AA Lithium Photo Battery - 4-pk. and they have worked very well. The first set of those batteries lasted me 4 months before they needed replacing. The zoom works well except if you are trying to zoom in on something really far away (100 ft or more). The only complaint that I have with this camera is that it is slow booting up and lags in between taking pictures. It's a little slow, but dependable with good quality overall.
Nice camera,but battery does not Last!.......2007-05-26
This is a nice camera and it takes great pictures! I have had it for over a year. I don't know what these other people are talking about. The pictures are beautiful! i just wish the batteries would last longer.
This was my first digital camera.I think I am going to get a 10 MP so i can get a better zoom. I also would have liked a bigger LCD screen.
UPDATE:
I just found out that you have to buy special batteries for this camera-not AA batteries but CRV batteries. NOW THIS CAMERA WORKS PERFECTO!
my first camera..........2007-02-12
My parents surprised me with this digital camera as a present and it has been a great camera after I put the manual down and started taking pictures. I wound up teaching myself how to use it (the delete function has been a primary learning tool!). I figured out what works best with the multiple settings and options via trial and error...kinda a challenge for a beginner but~I love it now. The only issue I've had is how sensitive it is with movement. If it's not still for particular shots a slight shake or vibration and the picture turns out blurry or distorted. I have been Using a tripod which reduces this and have discovered which settings are less "touchy." I am having fun and getting great shots as well. In addition I enjoy being able to record audio and videos. I can record approx. 1 hour of video with my 1 gig memory card. I like the filters and extra settings for shooting different environments. Overall it has been a good camera for me. I am hard on my equiptment and this camera has endured. I would recommend this camera to anyone who already has experience using digital cameras and wants a fun compact camera loaded with interesting extras. Good luck.
HELP FOR BATTERY PROBLEMS.......2006-07-10
The Pentax Optio S40 was designed to operate with the 3 volt crv3 battery even tho Pentax says you can use rechargeable NiMh batteries which are rated at 1.2 volts each. A AA size NiMh battery in good condition will deliver about 1.42 volts which in my experience operated my S40 for about 18 months with regular recharges. Now they do not work even when fully charged.
Interestingly the S40 works fine with plain old Duracell AA batteries, but keep in mind they deliver 1.5 volts each (actually more when new). The problem seems to be there is a capacitor in the camera that seems to require a charge even for simple non flash operation and it appears the capacitor can be degraded with long term low voltage battery use.
My NiMh batteries began to work once again after a short period of S40 use with the Duracells. My theory is the Duracells at 3+ volts total, had the power necessary to charge up the capacitor to the point where the camera will now operate with the lower voltage MiMh batteries (about 2.8 volts total when fully charged).
My latest approach is using a Lith ion rechageable crv3 from Radio Shack which delivers 3+ volts. I suspect this will permanently solve the problem.
OF COURSE the eye piece is there for a reason....using it rather than the LCD will greatly extend battery life.
Product Description
This is a two room tent. One room can be used as a chart or computer room or can be used to sleep in when camping or attending a star party. The other room is the observatory which houses your scope. There is a zip out roof. There is a rain fly on this tent. It goes right down to the ground and, can be rolled back over the observatory side and tied back. The rain fly will now come in a matte silver colour to allow some reflectivity of the Sun's heat, thereby keeping the tent cooler about 1 hour longer than usual. This will allow someone, who has been up late observing, an hours extra sleep before the tent gets too hot too sleep. The tent has a full floor so that the tent may be used for any camping trips where astronomy is not part of the itinerary. Because it has a full floor, any tripods that have pointed feet will need some kind of weight bearing pad beneath hem to protect the floor from being punctured. The observing slot unzips from "south to north". This will allow the slot to be partially opened so that wind or light may be blocked. There is also bug nettingin the roof of the observatory that can be unzipped. This will allow you and your friends to sit in the tent and keep the bugs away while you keep an eye outfor breaks in the clouds when the weather is marginal for observing. There is also a door in the "east" wall to make it easy to get equipment into and out of the observatory. It also allows you to leave the tent without awaken
