Wet and wobbly.......2007-06-17

Very well built, high quality, small, but highly versatile camera.

We bought this camera because of its underwater capacity rather than its other spec. Underwater - snorkelling on holiday, in boats, beach etc, where it would otherwise be no go or high risk for many cameras; it is excellent. Large rear screen helps compose underwater shots, which is otherwise far harder than you might imagine

Very well built [metal not plastic] and easy to clean - important when wiping away salt water, sand etc.

Like many new digital cameras, it has far more program features than you can use on a regular basis, but nevertheless, they are useful on the rare occasions that you might.

The large viewing screen is power hungry, so if you review your pics a lot, you will struggle to get a day out of a battery - so get a spare, cheap at 15 quid or so.

Final comment, is that small size and design is such that you have to be careful when taking a picture to hold it steady and avoid camera shake when pressing the shutter button.

The Mju 720 sw pink from olympus weighs in at only 149g and features a 7.1 megapixal ccd that will alow the user to enlarge their images up to a3 in size in truly stunning quality. The camera has a 3x optical zoom, a 5x digital zoom and so therefore the camera has a total zoom capability of 15x. On The reverse side of the camera there is a 2.5 inch (6.4cm) crystal clear lcd display, which is helped by olympus's brightcapture technology. This helps when in dark conditions by brightining the screen by up to 400% compared to other cameras alowing you to see what they are taking even in extremmely dark conditions. This makes previewing or viewing back photos a brease. The menus are not cluttered and are extremmely easy to use and understand. The camera comes with 19.1mb of internal memory which will only give you around 11 photos on hq mode and only 5 photos on shq mode so i reccommend that you would need to buy at least a 256mb xd card to get the most out of this camera. The best features of this camera has to be that it is waterproof up to a dive depth of 3m (if you want the camera to be waterproof up to a depth of 40m then buy the optional pt-033 waterproof case) and that it will not be damaged from a fall of up to 1.5m, these features make it a truly robust camera. Other features of this camera are; it has 4 flash modes which are auto, red eye reduction, fill in or off, A macro mode that can take photos to a range as close as 7cm, movies with sound up to a maximum vga resoloution of 15fps. The mju 720 sw has 24 scene modes which are; Portrait, Landscape with Portrait, Landscape, Night Scene, Night Scene with Portrait, Sport, Indoor, Candle, Self Portrait, Available Light Portrait, Sunset, Fireworks, Museum, Cuisine, Behind Glass, Document, Auction, Shoot & Select 1, Shoot & Select 2, Beach and Snow, Underwater Wide 1, Underwater Wide 2, Underwater Macro and Underwater Snapshot. The camera also has an image stabilisation mode and a red eye reduction mode, all of these modes allow the user to fine tune there photography to get the perfect shot. In the box you get the Mju 720, neck strap, rechargeable Lithium battery, battery charger, USB cable, Video cable, Olympus Master software, Instruction manuals and a Warranty card. The Mju 720 sw from Olympus is a fantasticly stylish and robust digital camera that is brimming with top class features. In my opinon there is only two tiny weakneses and that is the lack of case and the small internal memory but i do not feel that this is reason enough for this camera to lose a star so it keeps its 5 star rating. A superb camera, a must have buy.

Fantastic & Comfortable Phones ......for the price.......2007-11-24

I managed to destroy a pair of Etymotic ER6i headphones by getting them caught in the seat reclining mechanism on a flight a couple of weeks ago and was a bit reluctant to go out and spend another £70 replacing them after having them for only 5 months. I decided on these CX300 phones which claimed to do a 'similar' sort of job at a quarter of the price, and although I've just received them I have to say I prefer them! I know everyone's ears are different but I've found these phones more comfortable than the ER6i's plus there is more bass end response. They seem to do a pretty good job at blocking out a lot outside noise although I'll have to wait for my next flight to road test them properly. They come with 3 sets of different size ear buds. The cable is a little bit flimsy and seems a little on the short side.
All in all a great set of phones for the price.
They arrived totally overpackaged which is ironic as they are titled 'Eco' with 'STOP Global Warming, environmental loving package' printed on the cover, I know it's all recycled cardboard but the bulk of it was totally unnecessary.
One other thing regarding delivery times, I know I opted for 'Super-Saver-Free Delivery' and I obviously didn't expect to the goods to arrive the next day but it took 10 days for the goods to arrive from being ordered. Amazon need to be more honest about their delivery times before people press the 'BUY' button as I bought these phones from Amazon as they were quoted as being 'in stock'.

*****.......2007-11-22

These are literally the best headphones i have ever bought, the warm bass is outstanding, they fit perfectly into your ear, amazing treble, a very full sound, and very cheap for such quality, outstanding, they made me fall back in love with music.

have to get used to it.......2007-11-22

The sound is great, especially the bass. It's great for listening on public transport as the isolation ensures that your neighbour doesn't get annoyed with your music and you don't have to hear the noisy teenagers in the back. However the in-ear effect is irritating, a slight movement of your head when there isn't enough cable free pulls the earphones out of your ear and you basically lose all sound. I thus find myself constantly adjusting the earphones in my ear. Can't jog with earphones or make any fast movements as it falls out. I find it slightly scary walking around with earphones as you'd never hear the bus come that sent you to hospital. I still give it 4 stars as it serves the purpose of providing good bass and clear sounds, but sometimes I miss my broken iPod earphones. Oh, the earphones double as earplugs when trying to sleep on the airplane.

Good but not great..........2007-11-12

The eco packaging on these headphones was a definite draw and in the main it's very good, although the 'eco-ness' of the product was let down by a clear plastic bag that it was all wrapped in and two pastic/metal ties - only minor, but it could have been perfect! The rest of the packaging is entirely made of cardboard.

Using the earphones for the first time on the bus, the noise reduction was impressive and cut out all conversational noise and most of the bus noise. Sound quality is good and volume can be reduced because of the noise reduction.

When I then got off the bus and was surprised by the terrible thudding that my walking produced! Push your fingers on your ears to block out noise and walk around - it sounds like that but much louder! The only way this can be reduced is by pulling the earphones out of the ear a little way so they aren't stuffed in your ears any longer - this will stop the noise reduction that results from having them in your ear canal and also reduce the depth of the sound quality.

So they are excellent if you want to use them without walking!

Too lazy to run, so they sound great to me........2007-11-08

I bought the CX300's from Amazon, and for the money no other headphones come close. The clarity of the sound and the punch of the bass really is a cut above the rest.
Another bonus of these headphones is that, along as you use the correct size buds for your ears they hardly leak any sound at all. So you can listen to your music at a very loud volume and not inflict your music on anyone in the same train carriage, unlike the millions of mp3 player owners who insist on using the standard headphones.
Also, some of the people that have reviewed these, have mentioned that one of the leads is longer than the other. They are SUPPOSED to be like this! The longer right ear headphone lead is supposed to go around the back of your neck. Try it you might like it.
