Garmin nuvi 200 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator From Garmin

Physical
The Nuvi 200 is almost the exact same size as the Nuvi 300 series. It has virtually the same width and height, but is just a sliver thinner than the 300 models. It also comes in at virtually the same weight.

Like its siblings there is a power button across the top, but the operation of this power button has changed. Rather than a push style button it is a slider. You slide the button to the left and release to turn the power on or off. You can also move the slider to the right that locks input to the device, much like a hold button on an iPod. I’m not really sure why a hold button is necessary on this device unless they have it in mind for the pedestrian mode. Perhaps they will use this on future Nuvi models which include an MP3 player (The Nuvi 200 does not include an MP3 player).
The SD card slot has moved from the right side to the left side. If I had a choice I would prefer it on the right since sometimes I place the GPS up against the left side of the dash, but without an MP3 player it isn’t likely you would use the SD card slot all that much anyway, so no big deal. The right side and bottom have no buttons or connectors. The only other item is the USB/power connector that has been moved from the right side to the back of the Nuvi 200. Since there is no MP3 player there is no headphone jack.
The only other physical difference is that Garmin has finally gotten rid of the “flip up” GPS antenna. As much as I didn’t like the flip up design, being able to disable the GPS did have some advantages. The other Nuvi devices can only calculate routes starting at your current location unless you perform a weird workaround of disabling the GPS, setting a new location, and then calculating a route. Without a way to disable the GPS on the Nuvi 200 series, even that long workaround becomes impossible. I often fly for work and I like to calculate how long it will take to get from my destination airport to the hotel. This isn’t possible with the Nuvi 200 series.

Mount
Another interesting change in the 200 series is the suction cup mount. I’ve praised the mount on the 300 series as being the absolute best mount in the industry. Unfortunately Garmin changed the mount slightly in the new Nuvi series. The mount is still easy to assemble, easy to adjust thanks to the ball and socket joint, compact, and a nice simple design. What sets the other mount apart is that the power cord connects to the mount and then the mount feeds power to the Nuvi. That is gone in the 200 series and instead the power cord connects directly to the device. So now when you take the GPS off the mount you also need to disconnect the power cable and have a power cable dangling inside your car. It just isn’t as clean as the mount for the 300 series.

Customer Reviews Garmin nuvi 200 GPS


1.By Justin Paxton "CLOWNZ IN MY HEAD"

After using the popular TomTom One for six months (and being completely satisfied with it) I decided to give the latest in Garmin technology a try. Garmin's newest line of Nuvi's (the 200, 250, and 270) appears to be designed to combat the basic (and extremely popular) TomTom One, as they are designed with the utmost simplicity in mind. Garmin has finally done away with all the bells and whistles of their past GPS models and stripped down their latest releases to the bare essentials. But don't let the simplicity of the Nuvi 200 fool you, it still packs quite a punch. The first thing I noticed upon purchasing this product is it's size...very, very small. The unit ways only 0.33 pounds (5.2 ounces) which I found very convenient. Also the Garmin Nuvi 200's wallet sized dimensions, 3.8 x 2.8 x .8 inches (W x H x D) make for easy transport from car to pocket once you have reached your destination.. Because the Garmin Nuvi 200 doesn't come with a carrying case I found the unit's basic rectangular design very handy when searching for a protective case to envelop the unit when not in use. Basically any small camera case at any department store will fit this GPS unit nicely. I found one for $7.00, a real plus considering the unusual design of the TomTom One and it's customized $30.00 carrying case, consumers (of course) had to buy separately. The Garmin Nuvi 200 lacks the text-to-speech function of it's big brother, the Nuvi 350 and also has no MP3 technology (remember this is a basic unit). However the unit has managed to shed the little flip-up antenna that Garmin owners have been used to seeing on older models, such as the Nuvi 350. Everything is now neatly packed away and internal giving the Nuvi 200 an even sleeker look. Enough about what the Nuvi lacks, on to what is has. Although the unit is simple in design Garmin has managed to pack in a few extras for it's customers. The Nuvi 200 has a JPEG picture viewer, a calculator, a currency converter, a unit converter, and a world clock just in case your wondering what time it is in Tokyo. Some users may use these features more than others, while others may find them plain redundant but hey...it's always nice to have extras. The battery life is excellent compared to the TomTom One's weak 2-hour expectancy. The instruction manual brags it can last "up to 5 hours" so you won't have to scramble for the vehicle power cable as often as with other units. The Nuvi 200's 3.5 inch screen (with 320x240 pixel count) is beautiful, bright and detailed Very convenient for such a small unit. Of course I have to mention the high-sensitivity WAAS-enabled GPS receiver that was able to locate it's position in under 30 seconds on it's first start up. I've even managed to get satellite signals while indoors, quite impressive. The only fault I could find with the unit was (surprisingly) it's maps. Although Garmin uses NAVTEQ maps I found them very lacking compared to the TomTom (Tele Atlas) maps I'm used to. The clichéd' argument is that because Garmin is a North American based company their maps for The United States should be more accurate then the European based Tele Atlas maps which TomTom uses. This was quickly disproved by a simple drive around town. There were some streets in my home town which have been completed for over 5 years that still aren't registered by the supplied NAVTEQ maps the Nuvi 200 comes with. I never had this problem with my TomTom One. The Garmin Nuvi 200 gets a well-deserved 4 stars. Although it's maps are sometimes lacking they were always accurate and managed to get me home safely. Garmin is a quality name in GPS and anyone looking for a simple yet powerful unit should give the Garmin Nuvi 200 a chance. Here is what comes in the box: - The Nuvi 200 unit that comes preloaded with maps of the lower 48 states (plus Hawaii and Puerto Rico) - Vehicle Suction Cup Mount (instead of sticking this mount to the windshield, I break tradition and mount the suction cup to the driver's side window down near the rearview mirror then just turn it towards me. I find it is much easier to operate and it doesn't obstruct my view.) - Vehicle Power Cable - Dashboard Disc - Set Up And Go Guide (not very detailed)

I ordered the Garmin Nuvi 200 from Amazon and expected it would come with the new map software (City Navigation North America NT version 2008) as others had received, but unfortunately, mine came with the old map (version 8). I called Garmin support and they wanted $75 more for the updated map. I'm very disappointed at Garmin's new marketing tactic because the last time I purchased the Street Pilot 2610, they provided me with the FREE update software within 30 days of the purchased date to bring my GSP to current map info. How do you know which map version you have? Go to Tool>Setting>Map>MapInfo on the Nuvi 200. There is no info on the box or in the box to indicate which map software version a particular Nuvi 200 has. However, some people reported in GSP forum that the Nuvi 200 with serial # 14H06xxxx and 14H10xxxx have the old (version v8) map software, and the ones with serial # 14H15xxxx and 14H17xxxx have the new (version 2008) map software. My Nuvis 200 serial # is 14H10xxxx and I have the old map software. The serial # are printed on the outside of the box and also on the bottom of the Nuvi 200 unit. I checked my local BB last night and they had mostly Nuvi 200 with the new map, but a couple with the old map (based on the serial #). So be careful when shopping for the Nuvi 200. I heard the same situation is with the Nuvi 660 as well. As an engineer I used to admire Garmin for their product and technical support, but I think their new marketing strategy is unethical and stupid (i.e. Garmin is trying to squeeze another $75 out of uninformed/unfortunate customers for map update). Afer using the Nuvi 200 for a day, I would give Nuvi 200 four stars (missing the compass direction that I am used to on the 2610), and ZERO star for Garmin marketing policy. Thus 3 stars.

4.By Van T. Tran

This is a solid entry level GPS from Garmin. After a week of testing the Nuvi 200 with a similar entry level GPS from Magellan--the Maestro 3200, I had a hard time deciding which one to keep. In the end, I went with the Nuvi, not because one is superiorly better than the other, but down to more personal preferences. Here are some positive and negative factors for each device: Startup and Satellites Acquisition: In my car, the Maestro takes 40 seconds from startup to acquiring satellites, whereas the Nuvi takes 50 seconds. (Your results may vary depending on where you are.) Furthermore, the Maestro takes less than 5 seconds for the main menu to appear, whereas the Nuvi takes closer to 23 seconds from startup to main menu. So that on the Maestro, user is able to start inputing much sooner. Once satellites are acquired, both devices are able to hold on to the signal exceedingly well, even indoor. Screens, Menus and Interfaces: Both devices have a gorgeous 3.5 screen that is very bright and can be viewed from extreme angles. I do find that the Nuvi screen is more pleasing to look at though. Menus and interfaces are very intuitive and user friendly. Most users would not have to read the manual to start using both devices. All the important categories are represented by large icons and easily accessed by touchscreen. In term of layouts, fonts, and color choices, I prefer the Nuvi as the overall design is more inviting. Also, as you navigate between menus and input text, the Maestro would announce your every input such as "Back," "Next," "Cancel," letters and numbers, which I find quite annoying. On the Nuvi, it just "beep" to confirm your entry. Features: Instead of comparing all the features for each device, I will just list those that I find important. Both the Maestro 3200 and Nuvi 200 are preloaded with map of the lower 48 states, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. If you want map for Alaska and Canada, consider the Maestro 3210 and Nuvi 250. However, the Nuvi has the ability to add more maps such as Europe, Australia, and parts of Asia through SD card. As far as I know, the Maestro is not able to add more maps. I love the usefulness and convenience of the "Points of Interest" database, and thus the more the better. The Nuvi has close to 6 millions compare to 1.3 millions on the Maestro. That means you would be able to find more businesses and attractions wherever you are on the Nuvi without looking up on a computer, phone, or Yellow Pages. For example, the Nuvi lists all the major retailers that do not appear on the Maestro. Both devices allow custom POIs from users to upload. When searching by POI name, the Maestro is able to bring up the result(s) much faster though. I did a search for a restaurant that is 15 miles from my location and the Maestro took less than 2 seconds to display the result. Whereas, the Nuvi took an excruciatingly 48 seconds to find the result. However, finding businesses that are within a 5 miles radius to a user's location will show up only slightly slower than the Maestro. The Maestro features a multi-point routing called "Trip Planner" that allows user to input multiple destinations and optimize for the best routes for the entire trip. So, if you do a lot of errands or plan a long trip with multiple destinations, the planner would come in very handy. On the Nuvi, you can only add one additional waypoint at a time while traveling to your final destination. To get around this, Nuvi user can first search all the destinations prior, as the addresses would automatically be put under the "Recently Found" folder or choose to save under "Favorites." Then as you reach each destination, recall the next address under each folder. It's not an elegant solution and your entire trip is not optimize like the Maestro. The re-route and detour functions are available on both devices. So, if you miss a turn, both GPS will automatically re-calculate and get you back on track. I often find that the new route is generated before reaching the next block. As for detour, the Maestro has a much more robust feature. When using detour, user can specify 3, 5, 10 or custom miles from the main route. On the Nuvi, there is no user specification, just an option to detour. Both have customizable route methods, such as "Fastest Time" and "Shortest Distance." The Maestro has additional methods of "Least" or "Most Use of Freeways." I find "Most Use of Freeways" to be a valuable option. During the time of day when there's little traffic, I can use this option even when Maestro recommends surface street under "Fastest Time." I prefer travelling on freeways rather than through all the stop lights and signs on surface streets. The Nuvi does not have this option. The Nuvi has an "Off Road" method that I doubt I will ever select. Under a sub-category, user can specify to avoid toll roads on both devices. On the Nuvi, user can further select to avoid u-turns, highways, carpool lanes, unpaved roads, etc. As for the navigation, routing, and map display screen, this is where I ultimately prefer the Nuvi. The Nuvi renders the 3-D map beautifully with bold outlines, excellent color schemes, sharp fonts, smooth anti-aliasing and shading, and polish appearance. Street name for next turn is clearly displayed on a horizontal bar on top, for example, "Turn Left on Main Street." By clicking the top bar, another screen will appear that display a turn-by-turn preview to your destination. As you approach a turn, the map will slowly zoom in with an arrow prompting a more detailed section of the turn. After the turn, the map will zoom out to the normal display. The whole process is very fluid and instinctive. On the left and right hand corners show "time of arrival" and "distance to the next turn" respectively. There is no option to customize the display such as showing time or distance remain to your destination. There is another screen that you can access for those info. When clicking anywhere on the 3-D navigation map, a detailed 2-D map will appear to give you more information and layout of your current location. Your arrow vehicle can be customize to show a variety of vehicles, from race car to even a tank. More choices can be downloaded on Garmin website. This might seems superfluous to some, but it just adds another level of user experience. After viewing Nuvi's 3-D map, it's difficult to go back to another competitor. The Maestro's 3-D navigation map is not ugly by any standard, just not as refine comparing to the Nuvi. The Maestro's map display is more cluttered, but with more information available to the driver at a glance. For example, the horizontal bars on top and bottom will display the name of the street that the driver is on and the street for the next turn. There's also an icon to indicate the next turn and compass. User can also customize to display anything from "time of arrival" to "distance remain." On the Nuvi, driver would have to exit the navigation screen for additional info. I also really like that the Maestro will display selected POI icons, such as nearby gas and ATM, on the 3-D map. Furthermore, user can customize what POI categories will display on the map. However, the more categories are selected, the harder it will be to distinguish the icons on a busy street. Like the Nuvi, the Maestro also display a turn-by-turn preview to your destination. However, the Maestro goes a step further by allowing the user to exclude any of the street on the list. So, if you know a street is under maintenance or prefer not to travel on, just exclude that section and the Maestro will re-route when possible. As for the 3-D rendering, the map outlines are a bit jagged but very detailed with sharp fonts. As you approach a turn, the Maestro will split the screen vertically and show a close-up of the section along with the normal view. Having tested the Maestro and Nuvi for a week, I find both GPS very capable in their routing algorithm. Both devices don't always give you the identical routes to your destination, but I can't really say one is better than the other. However, I observe that the Maestro tends to calculate routes with more turns. On the Nuvi, the voice guidance does indicate whether your arriving destination is on the right or left hand side of the road, which I find helpful. Both GPS have its quirks, such as sometimes calculating longer routes than necessary or the destination off by a block. However, for the most part, the routes on both are very accurate. Another thing for me to consider when choosing a GPS is the battery life. Both the Maestro and Nuvi can be powered using the included vehicle cable. However, when driving around town, I prefer not to have the unsightly cable dangling from the windshield, especially if you have other devices that use the vehicle power, like an iPod. The Nuvi rechargeable battery is rated up to 5 hours comparing to 3 hours on the Maestro. Both do not come with an A/C charger, but can still be charged using USB to mini-USB on a computer or alternatively charging by car. The speakers on both are pretty loud, but I much prefer the voice on the Nuvi as it sounds more warm comparing to the very robotic pitch of the Maestro. I have yet required customer support, but from what I read from other users and reviewers is that Garmin gives better support to their products. For example, Garmin provides a free WebUpdater software that will automatically update the GPS with the latest software. When I purchased the Nuvi and ran the software, it automatically update my GPS system version from 3.4 to 3.5. That to me instill confidence that Garmin will continue to support their devices. In summary, the Maestro 3200 and Nuvi 200 are excellent entry level GPS that I have no problem recommending. I decided on the Nuvi due to the excellent 3-D map, interface, large POIs, route calculation, overall design, and battery life. However, the Maestro has more features such as trip planner, a robust detour, faster search, and "Most Use of Freeways" option that some might consider more valuable. Prices are comparable and really come down to personal preferences. You can't go wrong with either one.

5.By Anthony Saccullo "Tony Saccullo"

I ordered a NUVI 200 for my son as he was planning on taking his car back to college. I have a NUVI 350 which is a great GPS system but I wanted a no-frills GPS that was less expensive - my target price was $250. Although Amazon had the best price around I had to pay a little more than my target. The unit arrived within a few days and is a good no-frills GPS that is very compact. One problem I had was the unit not being able to hold a battery charge. It worked fine on car power but the battery would go dead in under two hours and would charge over 2 of the five bars. I sent a note to Amazon customer service explaining the issue and I mentioned that we needed the GPS for a car trip in three days. Within the hour, Amazon notified me that a replacement would be sent out as using next-day service. They also clearly explained how to return the faulty unit. The next day at 10AM I had a new unit that worked perfectly - I sent back the faulty one with an Amazon generated UPS label at no cost to me - Amazon provided me feedback the next day when they received it. Amazon Customer Service also gets 5 Stars for this quality of customer care. My son and I drove from CT to Charleston, SC and the NUVI 200 worked perfectly. We're very satisfied with it.

Editorial Reviews Canon PowerShot SD1100IS
Manufacturer Description
Color communicates. It introduces you before you say a word, making the Canon PowerShot SD1100 IS Digital Elph the ultimate image-maker. Five fashion-forward hues expressed in pure aluminum add a new burst of excitement to Canon’s Perpetual Curve design. Of course, a camera that brings out the best in you also delivers Canon’s most advanced technology features. Call it style with substance, for a new level of picture taking pleasure. PowerShot SD1100 IS Digital Elph Highlights
8.0-megapixel Digital Elph with 3x optical zoom and optical image stabilizer With 8.0-megapixel technology at its heart, the PowerShot SD1100 IS Digital Elph brings you high-resolution images that maintain their sharpness and vivid impact even when they’re enlarged and cropped. The 3x optical zoom is a clear winner when it comes to getting up close and personal. And Canon’s invaluable Optical Image Stabilizer reduces the blur of camera movement, even in tricky, low-light situations.
With Canon's Face Detection WB (right), skin tones are not affected by overall lightingEnhanced Canon Face Detection Technology Canon's powerful Face Detection Technology delivers even better results with the new SD1100 IS Digital Elph. The Face Detection Technology continues to recognize faces in a scene, and concentrate exposure (daylight or flash) and focus upon them. But the SD1100 IS Digital Elph adds more: Face Detection WB means the camera concentrates upon faces when calculating white balance for the best possible skin tones. Face Select and Track lets the SD1100 IS Digital Elph user highlight one face among several in a scene, and the camera concentrates on that person, even as they move around the scene. Face Detection Technology is a powerful contributing factor in Canon's new Motion Detection Technology. Motion Detection Technology automatically reduces blur Life doesn’t stand still for picture-taking. That’s why Canon included its advanced Motion Detection Technology in the PowerShot SD1100 IS Digital Elph. This sophisticated feature works in the background to instantly evaluate how fast your subject is moving. Then it automatically selects and sets the optimal exposure and ISO settings to keep everything looking sharp and clear.

When you need higher ISOs for action-stopping shutter speeds, Motion Detection Technology provides it. But when no movement is detected, it allows lower ISOs for excellent color and detail. So whether you’re shooting a bride walking down the aisle, a ballet recital or even a child’s soccer game, you can relax and shoot with confidence knowing you’ve got the picture you intended. Selectable Shooting modes With 18 Shooting Modes including 9 Special Scene Modes, you’re ready for whatever shot comes your way.
2.5-inch PureColor LCD II for bright, accurate color The PowerShot SD1100 IS Digital Elph gives you large 2.5-inch LCD screen for excellent control when framing your shots. Canon’s PureColor LCD II offers more spectacular color, resolution and contrast even when viewed at an angle (compared to PureColor LCD). The screen is highly durable and easy to see in any light with a scratch-resistant, anti-reflective coating. It also features Night Display for easy viewing in low light -- a perfect feature for gathering friends and family around to see your images. DIGIC III Image Processor for sharper images and improved functionality With DIGIC III, your images boast superior quality, the camera operates at top efficiency and battery life is enhanced. What’s more, DIGIC III enables Canon’s Face Detection Technology and Red-eye Correction to give you better, more true-to-life people shots. Simply press the Shutter Button halfway down, and the camera automatically pinpoints the faces in the scene and chooses the ideal focus point. The camera controls exposure settings and flash to keep every face looking bright and natural. Red-eye Correction can be handled in-camera, in two ways. The entirely new Red-eye Correction during shooting uses the Face Detection Technology to recognize and remove red-eye from flash images as they're taken, before the file is written to the memory card. It's also possible to correct red-eye during image playback, using simple settings in the SD1100 IS Digital Elph's menu. iSAPS Technology is an entirely original scene-recognition technology developed for digital cameras by Canon. Using an internal database of thousands of different photos, iSAPS works with the fast DIGIC III Image Processor to improve focus speed and accuracy, as well as exposure and white balance. Red-eye correction Red-eye Correction provides three options for removing red-eye from subjects in flash pictures.
The new Red-eye Correction during shooting actually identifies and corrects red-eye in human subjects as pictures are taken.
The SD1100 IS Digital Elph can be set to automatically detect and correct red-eye during image playback.
The user can manually locate any red eyes in a scene during image playback on the LCD screen, and command the camera to remove them. High ISO The PowerShot SD1100 IS Digital Elph features ISO 1600 and High ISO Auto settings that reduce the effects of camera shake and sharpen subjects in low-light situations, giving you greater shooting flexibility. The Complete Print Solution The PowerShot SD1100 features a Print/Share button for easy direct printing and downloading, plus ID Photo Print and Movie Print with select Pixma photo printers and Selphy compact photo printers. The PowerShot SD1100 IS Digital Elph's Print/Share button makes direct printing easier than ever. Simply connect the SD1100 IS Digital Elph to a Canon Pixma photo printer or Selphy compact photo printer or any PictBridge compatible photo printer, press the lighted Print/Share button and print! Also use the Print/Share button to transfer images to a computer (Windows and Macintosh). Print your own ID photos in 28 different sizes or use the Movie Print function to output multiple stills from a recorded movie on a single sheet with a Canon Selphy compact photo printer.

Customer Reviews Canon PowerShot SD1100IS
Canon 1100 I love this camera!!! It was shipped fairly quickly and was exactly what I was looking for at an amazing price. It works fantastic and takes great pictures
Excellent take anywhere camera A lot has already been written about this camera. It has met my expectations for a pocket snapshot and video camera...clear pictures and video while always being just the right size to fit into my small purse or my pocket. There are better cameras that are larger, but they would get left at home due to their inconvenience.
Pretty good I don't know if it's the greatest camera in the world, but I'm very happy with it. It's my first.
Video Like most point-and-shoot digital cameras, the SD1100IS offers a video mode. This shoots at up to 30 frames per second. I found the video quality to be good for a digital camera and on par with other Elphs I’ve shot with. The video is shot with audio, which is good quality but not very loud during playback on the camera. I can hear it much better once the video is transferred to my computer. Battery Life This camera takes a proprietary lithium-ion rechargeable battery; the NB4L. The benefit to this type of battery is that it lasts significantly longer than AA alkalines or lithiums. I have been consistently able to shoot over 350 images on one battery charge, even while reviewing the images repeatedly (what can I say? It’s my new toy…). The first fully charged battery I used in the camera lasted me over a month's worth of shooting, despite my review-happy ways. The down side to this type of battery is that you always need one charged on hand. If your battery dies and you have no time to charge it before an event, you can’t run to a pharmacy or grocery store and pick up a pack of Energizers. I always recommend keeping an extra, charged, on hand as a backup. I actually keep three charged spares on hand (I know, I’m crazy). The battery is included with the camera. Spares are available from Canon for $55.00. I purchased three Digipower CN4Ls (their NB4L equivalent) for $39.99 and they last longer than the factory battery. Each battery takes a little over an hour to charge from full discharge. The battery compartment is located at the bottom of the camera and is easy to install and remove. Memory The Canon Powershot Elph SD1100IS uses Secure Digital (SD) memory cards. Canon has been consistently using these cards in their cameras for the last few years along with Nikon, Kodak, HP, and Casio. For this reason, and the fact that my Dell Laptop has an SD slot, I prefer this type of memory. I use high speed memory in all of my cameras, allowing me to take full advantage of the camera’s continuous shot speeds. High speed cards often boast the ability to conserve battery life because of faster saving times. Previously, I was using a San Disk Ultra II 2 GB SD Memory Card which was more than sufficient for my needs. Somehow I still felt the need to purchase two new 2 GB high speed SD memory cards. I purchased San Disk Extreme III 2 GB SD Memory Cards and they’ve performed very well. I popped them into my SD600 before selling it and noticed increased performance in that camera as well. Storage capacity varies based on the resolution and compression of the image. The higher the resolution, the higher the image quality is. Compression is making the files smaller to conserve space. Low compression results in less loss of quality in the images. The camera offers six resolution settings and three compression settings for still photos. I always recommend and keep my cameras set to the highest resolution and the lowest compression for the best quality images. At these settings, my 2 GB holds 544 images. This card alone has sufficient capacity for my needs, though I keep two extras on hand in case. There are four video-shooting options to choose from. The 2 GB card holds over 12 minutes of video at the highest quality video setting. Durability Though I won’t test the camera’s durability first hand, it feels moderately durable. It is lighter than my SD 600, but has a metal case and feels like it would survive being tossed around. Canon makes a case to fit the camera exactly; the PSC-1000. I purchased one to protect my camera from any scratches. The case is form-fitting and adds negligible mass and weight to the camera, so it still fits easily into a purse. What’s In The Box? Canon Powershot Elph SD1100IS Digital Camera Lithium-Ion Battery NB-4L Battery Charger 32 MB SD Memory Card Wrist Strap CD-ROM USB Cable AV Cable A one-year limited warranty is also included, though I purchased the two-year extended service plan from Dell. Connecting It Connecting the camera to my computer was easy. Simply plug the USB cable in and turn the camera on. The software provided is easy to use, but I preferred to let Windows install its own driver and use my own editing software. Rather than connect the camera, I usually insert my memory card into my laptop or printer to transfer pictures. This also preserves the battery, since the camera need not be powered while pictures are being transferred. Price and Availability The regular retail price of the Canon Powershot Elph SD1100IS is $249.99. I was able to get the camera for $212.49, during a special promotion Dell was running. Dell is advertising the camera as being available exclusive to their site, but it appears to be available on other sites as well. The camera was an excellent value for the price I paid. Other Models Considered There were several other models that I considered before making my purchase. For those whom may be considering the same models, I thought I’d offer some perspective into my decision. All of the cameras I considered were Canon models with their Digic III image processor and image stabilization. Having personal experience with the Canon Powershot Elph SD950IS, it was one of the models I strongly considered. My father owns the SD950IS and it’s a great camera. This camera offers 12 megapixels (2 more than the SD1100IS), 3.7X zoom (.7 more than the SD1100IS), and .2 frames per second more continuous shot mode for $110 more. The Canon Powershot Elph SD870IS was another model I considered. This model offers a larger screen (3.0”) and 1X higher optical zoom for $130 more. The camera offers no increase in speed and no optical viewfinder, which is a deal-breaker for me. I wouldn’t pay more money for a camera without one and only a small bump in zoom. The last model I considered is the Canon Powershot Elph SD850IS. This model was only $70 more and offered .8X more optical zoom. There were several reasons I chose the Canon SD1100IS over all of the aforementioned models. One was a simple matter of price. It wasn’t worth $70-$130 jump in price for such small improvements. The SD950IS was the runner up, but the speed difference and slightly extra zoom was not enough to sway me. The other two had even less to offer for the price difference. The SD1100IS was the best value for the money. All three models followed the Elph’s new contoured design, while the Canon SD1100IS has the more boxy design which I both prefer aesthetically and functionally. It’s easier for me to hold. I also liked that the SD1100IS takes the same battery as my last camera (NB-4L as opposed to the NB-5L), allowing me to continue to use the same spares rather than purchasing new ones. I thought the choice of color was a nice feature as well. It makes it easier to identify my camera from others and gives it a little more personality. This seems to be the only Canon camera that is offered in several choices (other than the usual silver and black). Recommendation The Canon Powershot Elph SD1100IS is an excellent camera for any point-and-shoot user. This compact camera produces outstanding images with tons of features. This camera works well for those of us who love taking pictures anywhere and everywhere and even as a smaller companion for when more experienced photographers don’t have the energy to lug around a digital SLR.

Sale Apple iPod Touch 8 gb Lowest Price



Design For better or worse, the iPod Touch is clearly the iPhone's baby brother. Like most products that roll out of Apple, the Touch shows the love of committed designers, hardware engineers, and usability experts. The iPod Touch measures a slim and pocketable 4.3 inches by 2.4 inches by 0.31 inch, with an all-metal-and-glass design that feels as expensive as it looks. Because nothing will ruin a portable video player faster than a gouge across its screen, we're happy to see that the face of the Touch uses the same scratch-resistant glass found on the iPhone. Most users will still want to buy a protective case, however, since the iPod Touch feels a little fragile and the back is covered with the glossy, scratch-prone, smudge-loving chrome exterior common to most iPods.
iTunes Wi-FiBoth the iPod Touch and iPhone allow users to browse, preview, purchase, and download music from the new iTunes Wi-Fi music store. The store is limited strictly to music downloads--no movies, TV shows, podcasts, or games--at least, not yet. You'll have to hop onto an available Wi-Fi Internet connection to take advantage of the wireless music store, but once connected, you can search for any artist, album, or song in the iTunes catalog, as well as browse by genre, top sellers, featured artists, and new releases. Store purchases require you to enter your iTunes password as a security measure. Once the download is complete, the song is immediately available to listen to and will transfer to your computer's iTunes music library the next time you sync the device. The feature seems to work without any kinks. Even interrupted downloads pick up once a Wi-Fi connection is re-established.
Apple has also announced a partnership with the Starbucks coffee chain that will allow iPhone and Touch users the ability to access a Starbucks-branded version of the iTunes Wi-Fi music store when the device is used at participating cafes--without paying to use the hot spot. We doubt that anyone will purchase the Touch based on this added functionality, but it bears mentioning.
Final thoughtsWe think the iPod Touch is a great product with lots to offer, but its premium price tag should give some shoppers pause. Don't assume that Apple's most expensive iPod is the best solution for your needs. If you're planning on watching a lot of video, high-capacity products like the iPod Classic or Archos 605 WiFi will allow you to load entire seasons of your favorite TV shows. Also bear in mind that if you're not around an available Wi-Fi network, features like the Safari Web browser, Internet radio, e-mail, iTunes Wi-Fi music store, and YouTube video portal won't mean much at all. While the iPod Touch may not be the slam dunk we were hoping for, it is an unquestionably cool product that continues Apple's legacy of sleek, innovative design.

The ultimate in modern PDA's / media players - intuitive user interface! Apple iPod Touch 8GB Review (Firmware 1.1.5) In my quest for a modern Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), I evaluated several models including the HP Ipaq, Asus, and the Palm Zire Z22. I discovered that PDA's are all but extinct in 2008, being as they are rapidly replaced by versatile smart phones such as RIM's Blackberry and its competitors including the Apple iPhone 3G and Nokia/Motorola offerings. I also came across the iPod Touch only because of recommendations made by Apple iPod users. I assumed the iPod Touch was more of a portable media player due to the "iPod" designation, rather than a minicomputer or even a PDA. My generalization was very wrong. I soon discovered the iPod Touch was essentially an iPhone/3G without the phone, digital camera, or Bluetooth systems. The iPod still retained the touch interface, and was actually manufactured in a slightly smaller package. It was capable of playing videos, music, and even browsing the web using the WiFi network adapter. Apple is selling a firmware update for 2.0.x for $9.95 on iTunes, which adds many more features to the iPod. Since my iPod came with 1.1.5, it already met all of my expectations and I did not see the need to pay $10 to use lousy apps at the time. I may upgrade in the future if I see the need, but for now - on to the meat and potatoes of the review. From the exterior, the Touch is slightly larger than a credit card and about as thick as a stack of credit cards (8mm). There are only two mechanical buttons on the outside of the unit. One is to turn the unit off, put it to sleep, or to wake it. The other is the "home" button, labeled with a simplistic square icon. The back of the Touch is polished metal. Many users complain that it gets easily smudged or scratched. I find that it makes it rather attractive and possibly adds some heat abatement capability for the battery during charging. Even though it has a Li-ion battery pack, batteries in general like to be kept cool during operation and charging. I never owned a regular iPod other than the Shuffle, but I was told the Touch uses the same cable as the regular iPod. There is also a 3.5mm stereo jack on the lower right of the Touch. I am amazed at the amount of stuff Apple was able to cram into the tiny Touch. The battery life was not that impressive though. When WiFi is enabled, the battery life drops dramatically especially while being used. Apple claims up to 22 hours of operation for listening to music, and up to 5 hours of operation while watching a video and I tend to agree with this. If you want to maximize battery life, I recommend turning off the WiFi until you need it. The first time you connect the Touch to your computer, it asks you to load up iTunes to register the Touch. The main menu shows 12 icons on the top, and 4 icons on the bottom. They are self-explanatory, but the key features are the Safari web browser, mail, calendar, and settings icons. You can use iTunes to synchronize the contacts list with your Outlook or Gmail contacts. You can also use iTunes to synchronize the calendar with Outlook or iCal. The Touch also allows you to check your Gmail account, Yahoo account, or even set up a custom mailbox. The Google maps and Yahoo Stocks applets also come in handy when you have access to open WiFi. The touch interface is EXTREMELY intuitive and easy to use. The only complaint I have is that I tend to tap the wrong key on the virtual keyboard while trying to input text. A stylus would make it very precise, but I think Steve Jobs wanted an all-inclusive portable minicomputer that did not require external apparatus for inputting data and I feel he accomplished this feat. You can flip the Touch sideways in most modes and it will automatically rotate the screen. The virtual keyboard also becomes wider in this mode. You can set a pass code for unlocking the Touch in the event you want to prevent prying eyes at the office or in your home from viewing your information. The compact size and minimal weight of the Touch makes it extremely portable. I highly recommend it for people who travel a lot, since it is easier to handle through airports and offers the bulk of what you need to maintain contact with the rest of the world: your schedule, email, web access, YouTube, weather, and contacts list. Granted you do not have an optical drive, applications like Microsoft Office or other software you would need to conduct business, it still allows you to communicate with people as long as you are in an open WiFi area. Many hotels, airports, and even municipalities now offer free WiFi access. I visited a contracted work site and was able to request guest access to their WiFi, allowing me to send emails and search for topics on Wikipedia all without having to schlep around a 3-6 lb notebook computer. The video quality, resolution, and speed were astounding. Watching YouTube clips shows how powerful the Touch is, especially for such a small device. Overall, I feel that the Blackberry and similar smart phones will become obsolete in the near future as they are replaced by the iPhone 3G and similar devices that offer superior usability and intuitive user interfaces. The navigation wheel and keyboard on the Blackberry is so 2000s, the iPod Touch and iPhone 3G just blow them away. Pros: Extremely compact, sleek, stylish, easy to carry around especially through airports. Perfect for the traveler, commuter, and office worker. It does the job of a PDA and a small computer when in the vicinity of a WiFi signal; otherwise, it still performs superbly as a PDA especially with its intuitive Touch interface. Cons: Apple wants $10 to upgrade the firmware to 2.0.x, and you may want a $20-$30 travel charger that can charge the iPod through 12 VDC (auto) or 120/240 VAC (home), along with a $10-$30 case. The screen and metal case is easily smudged. The virtual keyboard keys might be too small for people with large fingers, although the widescreen keyboard is easier to use. Battery life is quite impressive but still drops dramatically when being used and with WiFi enabled. Li-Ion chemistry also means the battery itself has maybe 2-3 years tops before you have to replace it. Overall: The ultimate in modern PDAs and is not just a media player. If you want a cellphone, digital camera, and Bluetooth capability, look at getting an iPhone 3G instead. The HP Ipaq and Asus "PDAs" are huge compared to the iPod Touch and I feel the Blackberry is obsoleted by the iPhone 3G. Note: I make comparisons between the iPhone 3G and iPod Touch because they are quite similar in many respects such as the user interface and overall appearance.
Problems Ordered for my son's birthday. The Ipod had several bad pixels. Returned it for a new one. Same problem. Had to send both back.

Editorial Reviews Canon PowerShot SD1100IS
Manufacturer Description
Color communicates. It introduces you before you say a word, making the Canon PowerShot SD1100 IS Digital Elph the ultimate image-maker. Five fashion-forward hues expressed in pure aluminum add a new burst of excitement to Canon’s Perpetual Curve design. Of course, a camera that brings out the best in you also delivers Canon’s most advanced technology features. Call it style with substance, for a new level of picture taking pleasure. PowerShot SD1100 IS Digital Elph Highlights
8.0-megapixel Digital Elph with 3x optical zoom and optical image stabilizer With 8.0-megapixel technology at its heart, the PowerShot SD1100 IS Digital Elph brings you high-resolution images that maintain their sharpness and vivid impact even when they’re enlarged and cropped. The 3x optical zoom is a clear winner when it comes to getting up close and personal. And Canon’s invaluable Optical Image Stabilizer reduces the blur of camera movement, even in tricky, low-light situations.
With Canon's Face Detection WB (right), skin tones are not affected by overall lightingEnhanced Canon Face Detection Technology Canon's powerful Face Detection Technology delivers even better results with the new SD1100 IS Digital Elph. The Face Detection Technology continues to recognize faces in a scene, and concentrate exposure (daylight or flash) and focus upon them. But the SD1100 IS Digital Elph adds more: Face Detection WB means the camera concentrates upon faces when calculating white balance for the best possible skin tones. Face Select and Track lets the SD1100 IS Digital Elph user highlight one face among several in a scene, and the camera concentrates on that person, even as they move around the scene. Face Detection Technology is a powerful contributing factor in Canon's new Motion Detection Technology. Motion Detection Technology automatically reduces blur Life doesn’t stand still for picture-taking. That’s why Canon included its advanced Motion Detection Technology in the PowerShot SD1100 IS Digital Elph. This sophisticated feature works in the background to instantly evaluate how fast your subject is moving. Then it automatically selects and sets the optimal exposure and ISO settings to keep everything looking sharp and clear.

When you need higher ISOs for action-stopping shutter speeds, Motion Detection Technology provides it. But when no movement is detected, it allows lower ISOs for excellent color and detail. So whether you’re shooting a bride walking down the aisle, a ballet recital or even a child’s soccer game, you can relax and shoot with confidence knowing you’ve got the picture you intended. Selectable Shooting modes With 18 Shooting Modes including 9 Special Scene Modes, you’re ready for whatever shot comes your way.
2.5-inch PureColor LCD II for bright, accurate color The PowerShot SD1100 IS Digital Elph gives you large 2.5-inch LCD screen for excellent control when framing your shots. Canon’s PureColor LCD II offers more spectacular color, resolution and contrast even when viewed at an angle (compared to PureColor LCD). The screen is highly durable and easy to see in any light with a scratch-resistant, anti-reflective coating. It also features Night Display for easy viewing in low light -- a perfect feature for gathering friends and family around to see your images. DIGIC III Image Processor for sharper images and improved functionality With DIGIC III, your images boast superior quality, the camera operates at top efficiency and battery life is enhanced. What’s more, DIGIC III enables Canon’s Face Detection Technology and Red-eye Correction to give you better, more true-to-life people shots. Simply press the Shutter Button halfway down, and the camera automatically pinpoints the faces in the scene and chooses the ideal focus point. The camera controls exposure settings and flash to keep every face looking bright and natural. Red-eye Correction can be handled in-camera, in two ways. The entirely new Red-eye Correction during shooting uses the Face Detection Technology to recognize and remove red-eye from flash images as they're taken, before the file is written to the memory card. It's also possible to correct red-eye during image playback, using simple settings in the SD1100 IS Digital Elph's menu. iSAPS Technology is an entirely original scene-recognition technology developed for digital cameras by Canon. Using an internal database of thousands of different photos, iSAPS works with the fast DIGIC III Image Processor to improve focus speed and accuracy, as well as exposure and white balance. Red-eye correction Red-eye Correction provides three options for removing red-eye from subjects in flash pictures.
The new Red-eye Correction during shooting actually identifies and corrects red-eye in human subjects as pictures are taken.
The SD1100 IS Digital Elph can be set to automatically detect and correct red-eye during image playback.
The user can manually locate any red eyes in a scene during image playback on the LCD screen, and command the camera to remove them. High ISO The PowerShot SD1100 IS Digital Elph features ISO 1600 and High ISO Auto settings that reduce the effects of camera shake and sharpen subjects in low-light situations, giving you greater shooting flexibility. The Complete Print Solution The PowerShot SD1100 features a Print/Share button for easy direct printing and downloading, plus ID Photo Print and Movie Print with select Pixma photo printers and Selphy compact photo printers. The PowerShot SD1100 IS Digital Elph's Print/Share button makes direct printing easier than ever. Simply connect the SD1100 IS Digital Elph to a Canon Pixma photo printer or Selphy compact photo printer or any PictBridge compatible photo printer, press the lighted Print/Share button and print! Also use the Print/Share button to transfer images to a computer (Windows and Macintosh). Print your own ID photos in 28 different sizes or use the Movie Print function to output multiple stills from a recorded movie on a single sheet with a Canon Selphy compact photo printer.

Customer Reviews Canon PowerShot SD1100IS
Canon 1100 I love this camera!!! It was shipped fairly quickly and was exactly what I was looking for at an amazing price. It works fantastic and takes great pictures
Excellent take anywhere camera A lot has already been written about this camera. It has met my expectations for a pocket snapshot and video camera...clear pictures and video while always being just the right size to fit into my small purse or my pocket. There are better cameras that are larger, but they would get left at home due to their inconvenience.
Pretty good I don't know if it's the greatest camera in the world, but I'm very happy with it. It's my first.
Video Like most point-and-shoot digital cameras, the SD1100IS offers a video mode. This shoots at up to 30 frames per second. I found the video quality to be good for a digital camera and on par with other Elphs I’ve shot with. The video is shot with audio, which is good quality but not very loud during playback on the camera. I can hear it much better once the video is transferred to my computer. Battery Life This camera takes a proprietary lithium-ion rechargeable battery; the NB4L. The benefit to this type of battery is that it lasts significantly longer than AA alkalines or lithiums. I have been consistently able to shoot over 350 images on one battery charge, even while reviewing the images repeatedly (what can I say? It’s my new toy…). The first fully charged battery I used in the camera lasted me over a month's worth of shooting, despite my review-happy ways. The down side to this type of battery is that you always need one charged on hand. If your battery dies and you have no time to charge it before an event, you can’t run to a pharmacy or grocery store and pick up a pack of Energizers. I always recommend keeping an extra, charged, on hand as a backup. I actually keep three charged spares on hand (I know, I’m crazy). The battery is included with the camera. Spares are available from Canon for $55.00. I purchased three Digipower CN4Ls (their NB4L equivalent) for $39.99 and they last longer than the factory battery. Each battery takes a little over an hour to charge from full discharge. The battery compartment is located at the bottom of the camera and is easy to install and remove. Memory The Canon Powershot Elph SD1100IS uses Secure Digital (SD) memory cards. Canon has been consistently using these cards in their cameras for the last few years along with Nikon, Kodak, HP, and Casio. For this reason, and the fact that my Dell Laptop has an SD slot, I prefer this type of memory. I use high speed memory in all of my cameras, allowing me to take full advantage of the camera’s continuous shot speeds. High speed cards often boast the ability to conserve battery life because of faster saving times. Previously, I was using a San Disk Ultra II 2 GB SD Memory Card which was more than sufficient for my needs. Somehow I still felt the need to purchase two new 2 GB high speed SD memory cards. I purchased San Disk Extreme III 2 GB SD Memory Cards and they’ve performed very well. I popped them into my SD600 before selling it and noticed increased performance in that camera as well. Storage capacity varies based on the resolution and compression of the image. The higher the resolution, the higher the image quality is. Compression is making the files smaller to conserve space. Low compression results in less loss of quality in the images. The camera offers six resolution settings and three compression settings for still photos. I always recommend and keep my cameras set to the highest resolution and the lowest compression for the best quality images. At these settings, my 2 GB holds 544 images. This card alone has sufficient capacity for my needs, though I keep two extras on hand in case. There are four video-shooting options to choose from. The 2 GB card holds over 12 minutes of video at the highest quality video setting. Durability Though I won’t test the camera’s durability first hand, it feels moderately durable. It is lighter than my SD 600, but has a metal case and feels like it would survive being tossed around. Canon makes a case to fit the camera exactly; the PSC-1000. I purchased one to protect my camera from any scratches. The case is form-fitting and adds negligible mass and weight to the camera, so it still fits easily into a purse. What’s In The Box? Canon Powershot Elph SD1100IS Digital Camera Lithium-Ion Battery NB-4L Battery Charger 32 MB SD Memory Card Wrist Strap CD-ROM USB Cable AV Cable A one-year limited warranty is also included, though I purchased the two-year extended service plan from Dell. Connecting It Connecting the camera to my computer was easy. Simply plug the USB cable in and turn the camera on. The software provided is easy to use, but I preferred to let Windows install its own driver and use my own editing software. Rather than connect the camera, I usually insert my memory card into my laptop or printer to transfer pictures. This also preserves the battery, since the camera need not be powered while pictures are being transferred. Price and Availability The regular retail price of the Canon Powershot Elph SD1100IS is $249.99. I was able to get the camera for $212.49, during a special promotion Dell was running. Dell is advertising the camera as being available exclusive to their site, but it appears to be available on other sites as well. The camera was an excellent value for the price I paid. Other Models Considered There were several other models that I considered before making my purchase. For those whom may be considering the same models, I thought I’d offer some perspective into my decision. All of the cameras I considered were Canon models with their Digic III image processor and image stabilization. Having personal experience with the Canon Powershot Elph SD950IS, it was one of the models I strongly considered. My father owns the SD950IS and it’s a great camera. This camera offers 12 megapixels (2 more than the SD1100IS), 3.7X zoom (.7 more than the SD1100IS), and .2 frames per second more continuous shot mode for $110 more. The Canon Powershot Elph SD870IS was another model I considered. This model offers a larger screen (3.0”) and 1X higher optical zoom for $130 more. The camera offers no increase in speed and no optical viewfinder, which is a deal-breaker for me. I wouldn’t pay more money for a camera without one and only a small bump in zoom. The last model I considered is the Canon Powershot Elph SD850IS. This model was only $70 more and offered .8X more optical zoom. There were several reasons I chose the Canon SD1100IS over all of the aforementioned models. One was a simple matter of price. It wasn’t worth $70-$130 jump in price for such small improvements. The SD950IS was the runner up, but the speed difference and slightly extra zoom was not enough to sway me. The other two had even less to offer for the price difference. The SD1100IS was the best value for the money. All three models followed the Elph’s new contoured design, while the Canon SD1100IS has the more boxy design which I both prefer aesthetically and functionally. It’s easier for me to hold. I also liked that the SD1100IS takes the same battery as my last camera (NB-4L as opposed to the NB-5L), allowing me to continue to use the same spares rather than purchasing new ones. I thought the choice of color was a nice feature as well. It makes it easier to identify my camera from others and gives it a little more personality. This seems to be the only Canon camera that is offered in several choices (other than the usual silver and black). Recommendation The Canon Powershot Elph SD1100IS is an excellent camera for any point-and-shoot user. This compact camera produces outstanding images with tons of features. This camera works well for those of us who love taking pictures anywhere and everywhere and even as a smaller companion for when more experienced photographers don’t have the energy to lug around a digital SLR.
