Easy Products Review

Win-Win Scenario. I have to agree with 2 of the other reviewers that out of the box the picture was near perfect with only minor tweaking and purchasing this set on Amazon was definitely a no-brainer. Why pay sales tax and shipping? I decided on this tv for the bedroom and installed Sony KDL37S5500U on the wall without any problems. Acturally Sony KDL37S5500U went a lot smoother than I had anticipated. After comparing Sony’s picture quality to other models at local stores and using Consumer Reports recommendation, I settled on the Sony Bravia 37″. I have had the tv for 2 months and could not be happier.

One of the best online deal I have ever done . The quality of TV is among the best. I recieved my order in a reasonable time. I love Sony KDL37S5500U .

Picture Perfect. Sony KDL37S5500U Sony Bravia 37″ HDTV is picture perfect right out of the box. The delivery was early and set up was friendly and fast.

Sony Bravia M-Series KDL-32M4000 32″ 720p LCD HDTV. Love it… Compare Sony KDL32S5500U with the same type Vizio 32″ 720p HDTV and there’s a big difference in tuner signal … I paid an extra 70 bucks for the sony and satified with the performance…

Beautiful screen, easy to set up and use. We purchased this TV through Amazon for our living room. Sony KDL32S5500U is not a large room (we live in a condominium), and this screen is a great size for us. The screen is easily viewed from all angles throughout the room. I was worried about how difficult Sony KDL32S5500U might be to set up after reading some of the other reviews, but I couldn’t believe how easy Sony KDL32S5500U was. The menus are easy to access and understand, and the connections in the rear and on the side are plainly marked and should suit the needs of any equipment a user might want to connect.

So far, I have connected a digital cable box/DVR, a DVD player, as well as my Macbook (to watch streaming movies via Netflix or Hulu). Sony KDL32S5500U works fantastic, and Sony KDL32S5500U is a snap to change to different input sources.

The picture/colors are gorgeous. Even on the non-high-definition channels, the exceptional quality of this screen is instantly noticeable. I love the feature that automatically calibrates the screen (widescreen, 4:3, or zoom) for optimum performance for the channel being viewed.

If I have a criticism, Sony KDL32S5500U is the sound. Sony KDL32S5500U isn’t bad by any means, but not great either. I purchased a Bose Cinemate system to go with it, and I now have the system I’ve been dreaming about for years.

If you are looking for a great TV for a smaller space, or don’t want a TV that will be obscenely large and dominate the room, this is perfect. The price is wonderful and quality is outstanding.

Fantastic LCD. Glad I didnt get any other brand….. Pros:

-Love the design, Piano black bezel and rounded corners. Always expected when buying SONY products.

-Great Contrast, color, and brightness.

-Fantastic digital processor, so I let the TV do all the work…I set my regular progressive scan DVD player to 480i and run Sony KDL32S5500U via a component cable to the TV. Dvd player is set to 16:4 Wide screen ratio, with a widesreen version DVD movie WOW Sony KDL32S5500U look AWSOME! I had to pick and choose which color preset looked the best, the cinema was great for me.

-Great menus, easy to read and use.

-Inset Speaker design not only looks elegant but sounds great!

Cons:

Not anything serious, juss things I think would have made Sony KDL32S5500U better.

-Adding 1 more HDMI input, maybe on the side?

-Swivel stand.

*I’m very happy with this TV, I have been waiting to pick up a HD set for some time and I’m glad Sony KDL32S5500U was a SONY bravia. I have always loved SONY’s designs and how they put things together….its always with class, something that is a must for electronics. Get this TV. I got a great deal at my local Fry’s, they were offering a instant discount and Sony KDL32S5500U came out to be cheaper than all online prices.

Sony dscw 120 digital camera. Needed a good camera that would fit into a shirt pocket yet still take great pictures. This one fits the requirement perfectly. The only downside is that those of us with large or clumsy hands may have a little trouble using Sony DSCW210P (I have to use the lanyard to keep from dropping it) but it’s the perfect size for my wife.

Good Camera. Very quality product. Takes great pictures. Has lots of setting for personal adjustments. The smile shutter is a fun tool. And I have even dropped Sony DSCW210P once and Sony DSCW210P held up great. Not even a scratch. Very durable.

Excelent Camera. Sony DSCW210P is an excelent camera, nice quality photos with the steady shot (no more moved photos) , really good autofocus, small size.

I recomend it.

Nice Compact Point and Shoot. We own two-a silver and a red cybershot, so that my wife and I will be able to take the photos we want particularly on an upcoming Galapagos cruise. The large LCD screen is bright in near-direct to direct sunlight, something that is completely lacking in my 2-year old Pentax Optio 6mp and one reason for buying this camera. Continuous shutter speed is fast for moving objects-again something totally lacking in the Pentax which has very slow shutter speed and produces nothing but blurs for moving objects. The large optical zoom is another plus. So far, nice pictures are produced in low light with and without flash and the Smile feature is interesting and works. Sony DSCW210S has 2 menus. The “Home Menu”, which is not the easiest to navigate, provides options like varying iso, smile, continuous shutter, etc. The hard copy operating manual that comes with the camera provides the basics; the software CD manual provides sufficient detail tho Sony DSCW210S would have been nice to have that in its 130-page hard copy version. Battery takes about 4-5 hours to recharge which is about the same as my for my Pentax but the charger is more compact and plugs in the wall rather than requiring a bulkier cord attachment. Cost downsides are the proprietary memory stick-duo–a 2gb which my camera onscreen indicates will be good for 800+ pics at the third or mid-range pixel setting good for 4X6 and larger, typically runs $20-25 and proprietary battery which in its o.e.m. version can be bought for about $15–about the same cost as aftermarket lithium batteries for my Pentax and more costly than the AA batteries used in a 1-year old Casio ExLim7mp that stopped working for no discernible reason and was not worth repairing. A U.K. camera review for the Sony says that this sony will take more than 2x the pics of an equivalent Canon elph before the battery has too be recharged-we’ll see. I went with an extra proprietary battery becuase an aftermarket battery,costing a few dollars less, produced a “no signal” message” on both cameras despite its being advertised as compatible with this model.

Great camera at a great price. Sony DSCW210S a great value. The Sony cameras are top in features and picture quality. The DSCW150 is easy to use and the steady shot feature works great.

Camera exelente. The product I come in mint condition and it(he,she) has a finished Exelente and of very good quality, I like to do business with you, for the near(next) purchases it(he,she) will not hesitate to contact and to communicate Sony DSCW210S Thank you. Noel pernia

Horrible quality of pictures. I got this camera after upgrading from a Kodak Easyshare 4.0 (which I loved) and I am so disapointed with the quality of pictures. Sony DSCW210G only takes nice pictures if you outside or in a very well lit area. Also, if your subject even moves the slightest bit, the pictures are blurry. I am really disapointed with the colors in the pictures. I had to set Sony DSCW210G to vivid color just to capture some brighter pictures. The colors are very dull and washed out. My Kodak Easyshare camera took way better pictures than this. I am very dispointed in this Sony product.

Skimpy internal storage. The internal storage of the Sony Cybershot DSCW120 is ridiculously small, and a “memory stick” must be purchased for an additional $30+ to provide a reasonable photographic capability. Though the internal storage is 15Mbytes, this translates into only 5 (five) actual images at the default resolution. Perhaps this information is buried someplace in their product manuals. Sony DSCW210G required a phone call to Sony for me to determine it. Even my old Olympus point and shoot holds 96 images at its default resolution

I see no reason the fact that the camera’s internal memory can only hold five images. Sony DSCW210G is even more “curious” that this fact is not clearly stated in Sony’s product documentation. Could this be just a marketing scheme to sell a memory stick “accessory”"?

Very Happy!!. I bought this camera after our fujifilm finepix e510 died on us. We wanted something that something that was just as good as taking pictures but something that wouldent be crazy expensive. This camera is a steal at such a low price. We got a 4gb memory stick and you can take over 1100 pictures even on the highest quality.

The camera itself is very good looking and very sleek. Sony DSCW210G also doesnt feel cheap(plasticey) and feels very sturdy. The buttons are easy to get to and the screen is clear and bright. Battery life is also very good. The battery does take a long time to charge but Sony DSCW210G really is more of an overnight charger.

The pictures on this camera for the most part come out great. Pictures outside and in good light should give you very clear pictures. The macro feature also works with well with close up shots. Picures in the dark come out good as well although some in very low light do come out a little grainy and some have a little color bleeding if thats the right word for it, nothing too major just not something that youd want to blow up really big. There is extensive adjustments you can make to help this. Also you can take a shot with flash and one without to see what comes out better. Video on this camera in the highest setting comes out suprisingly good. The flash on this camera is also conveinent and Sony DSCW210G taked 2 seconds recharge the flash. You can also adjust the brightness of the flash which i though was amazing. Amazon shipping was fast and the package arrived with no damage at all. If you are looking for a cheap quick camera this is the one. I highly recommend.

Very pleased. The computer was purchased for my son for graduation. He could not be more pleased! I love Sony VAIO CS21ZQ .

Pleased so far.. Picked Sony VAIO CS21ZQ up yesterday. I loved the clean look of this laptop and the screen looked very good, at least in the store display.

I had heard about all the Sony bloatware and was prepared to install XP on Sony VAIO CS21ZQ or at least reinstall Vista. However, so far, the laptop seems to be powerful enough to handle everything they have put on it. I did uninstall all the trialware and installed AVG free for virus protection.

The screen is very good, speakers not so much. Built-in microphone is weak and the camera is adequate. Speed/performance is very good. Laptop is a tad bulkier/heavier than I would like, I have a 14.1″ D630 from work that I carry around and am used to that weight which is quite a bit lighter.

Had no trouble with the laptop connecting to my wireless the first time, but after a while whenever I would shutdown/hibernate/sleep the PC, Sony VAIO CS21ZQ would have a lot of trouble connecting back or even finding my router. That’s a problem with the Intel wireless driver and using Windows built-in wireless manager. Sony VAIO CS21ZQ is the same chipset that I have on my D630 and had same problems. Ended up installing Intel wireless management utility and have had no problems. BTW, my router is US Robotics and I do not broadcast my SSID. I have heard that linksys routers do not have much of a problem. I plan on replacing my router with a 802.11n linksys router, so will update on that later.

Have not tried bluetooth yet.

Battery life could be better. I am used to 4-5 hours on my D630. This one will only go 2 or less with full brightness.

The point someone made about power connection interfering with the DVD tray is valid and I was also surprised that Sony made this design mistake, but not that big a deal.

All in all, I mostly like what I see so far. The price I paid ($849) seems to be worth Sony VAIO CS21ZQ so far.

Fabulous Computer, Short Battery. This comptuter had everything I was looking for.

I needed a work computer with Windows Vista Business. I needed at least 2GHz dual-core. I wanted HDMI output to connect to my Samsung 52″ TV. I wanted discreet graphics for games. I wanted Bluetooth. I wanted a large hard drive. I wanted at least 3GB Ram.

I’ve played Guild Wars on this computer and the framerate is around 40 fps. I’ve played WoW on this computer and the framerate can go as low as 30 fps, but can go as high as 60 fps, very much playable. The speakers are not very loud, so I recommend headphones for games or for watching DVD’s.

The computer is thin and easily stuffed into my laptop backpack. The power brick is not too big, but not very small either.

I would have prefered a 13″ or 14″ screen for portability, but this screen is way nice. The screen is bright and clear, although the glossy surface makes watching DVD’s less nice.

The battery doen’t last long. On high performance mode, the battery lasts 1.5 hours or so. On power saver mode, Sony VAIO CS21ZQ lasts 2 hours.

The trashware that came with the computer can be a chore to unistall, so I just left Sony VAIO CS21ZQ all there, eating my hard drive space and probably consuming processing power.

The laptop of my choice. I purchased this laptop because of the style, the sony brand, and I was impressed with my families vaio’s, and i’m very pleased I did! One thing to start with is the price, Sony VAIO CS21SR is very good and competitive (I did look around) also the screen looks so bright and the picture is fantastic. I have grown ever fond of sony in the past couple of years but only recently have I been this happy with them. Everything I have ever bought with the name sony on Sony VAIO CS21SR has lived up to my ever growing expectations, this laptop is no exception. If you are looking around for a laptop I would advise to give sony’s modles a look, they have such style and class in there design, and are packed with features and nice layouts. This is a great laptop, I am happy I bought it.

It doesn’t even deserve one star!. My husband purchased this laptop for me for christmas before he deployed so that we could stay in touch. I love Sony VAIO CS21SR at first I downloaded pictures and installed wirless so that I could talk to him when ever. Well 2 days after opening Sony VAIO CS21SR the harddrive fried, not to mention that Sony won’t take Sony VAIO CS21SR back since we live overseas. I HATE THIS THINK what a waste of money!

Exactly what I was dreaming of. Beautiful, fast, packed with features and software and ready to go in minutes right out of the box, I fell instantly in love with the thing. And being a longtime Mac person Sony VAIO CS21SR was a difficult decision to give a Window machine a try. So yes the sound is a little weak, surprisingly from a Sony object, and now I hope Sony VAIO CS21SR doesn’t break in 3 weeks, as I read a lot about Vaio problems… In the meantime I see in Sony VAIO CS21SR everything I need from a laptop. And Amazon offered an incredible price, free delivery that happened to be the next day. So far a top consumer experience for me.

Super Machine. I bought this laptop for replacement of my broken Dell Inspiron 700M. I really like this laptop so far.

This laptop is nicely constructed and Sony VAIO CS21SW is lighter than my Dell. This laptop is mostly made up of plastic and only the keyboard area are metallic. I am not sure what kind of metal did Sony used, maybe magnesium alloy as what they have claimed on their advertisement. The keyboard is really nice, Sony VAIO CS21SW doesn’t flex like many other laptops and Sony VAIO CS21SW is very quite.

The machine remains very cool even thought you have your setting on maximum performance. Sony VAIO CS21SW might generate little bit of heat on palm rest area, but Sony VAIO CS21SW won’t bothers you like my Dell. The fan is always on, however Sony VAIO CS21SW doesn’t make a lot of noise.

The screen on this laptop is best I have seen so far. Sony VAIO CS21SW is very bright and sharp. You can adjust the resolution if you think 1280X800 pixels are too small for you. there are 4 different of resolution you can change to.

wonderful laptop. I love the fashion looking of the vaio and especially the key board. the audio is not very good but I can accept that. I like Sony VAIO CS21SW .

A good, compact notebook with solid performance. I bought the Sony VAIO VGN-SR140E/B 13.3 inch notebook after 4 years with my old Acer laptop. The Acer was bulky and ran pretty hot, so this time I decided to get myself something more compact, since I want to be able to comfortably hold Sony VAIO CS21SW on my lap. I have to say that I’m very pleased with this notebook.

This VAIO is very small and light. Sony VAIO CS21SW weighs something like 4 lbs. Besides being compact and light, I also like the fact that Sony VAIO CS21SW doesn’t run hot. Sony VAIO CS21SW stays cool pretty much all the time. The fans are very quiet and barely noticable, even when they spool up (which happens once every two days, if that). The design of the notebook is very nice. I wish Sony VAIO CS21SW had more USB slots, but there’s always some trade offs with a compact notebook. The biggest drawback is that the screen is on the small size. If you have bad vision you’ll have a hard time with the screen resolution. Unfortunately the screen resolution can only be adjusted in such a way that Sony VAIO CS21SW looks like absolute crap if it’s anything other than the native resolution. I’m not a computer wiz, so I don’t know how else to explain it. Personally, the 13.3 inch screen works out fine for me.

Other than that, Sony VAIO CS21SW runs Vista without any problems. I haven’t experienced any slowdowns so far. Overall, I’m very pleased with my purchase. For those looking to buy one of the 13.3 inch VAIOs, make sure that you are Ok with the screen size, because Sony VAIO CS21SW may be a little too small for some people.

vaio fw or sr?. Sony has something that I love.I’ve purchased two vaios with almost same configuration.One FW 16,4 inch with 1080p and blu-ray drive(record and play) for home use,other 13,3 inch 1280X800 SR for moving around .Both 2,26 processor,4gb RAM and 320 with vista(witch takes from you almost 30gb of HD) 64 bits.Both are great on image, resolution and charming.Once more sony could let us choose witch software we really want, because lots of programs are confusing lowering still more the OS. Everyone would like to have a powerfull notebook, but nothing is more disappointing than speed of vista.In addiction 64 bits is incompatible with fhash player, and active x programs of security banks.Talking about this vaio, Sony VAIO CS21SP could have an hdmi output to hook Sony VAIO CS21SP in a hd tv. Only a VGA is a shame.The fingerprint password is more a game than security because sometimes you have to try twice or more times. We feel that something lower the performance of this 4gb of ram and 2,26 processor,that this pc could do more.It’s poor having to create recovery disks hidden inside the some partition of the HD.I recomend this brand because of quality and confiability, but the amount of software offered for two months could be choosen by the buyer.Why we have to spend $1300,00 for the note and more $500,00 for aditional software?

Small, Sexy, Powerful. This is my second laptop, upgrading from a Toshiba Satellite. Sony has done a lot of good and bad things with this one. Sony VAIO CS21SP is meant both for home and office. A powerful performer with a small size. As with other Sony products, Sony VAIO CS21SP is a beauty.

PROS:

1. Speed – The laptop I got has an Intel Core2Duo P8600 which is blazing fast and coupled with ATI graphics (128mb graphics card in my laptop) Sony VAIO CS21SP works perfectly fine. The RAM in this can be upgraded to a DDR3 (it comes with DDR2-800 standard).

2. Screen – backlit LCD 1280×800. The screen is awesome and vibrant, excellent colors and extremely bright (I keep the brightness to 4 out of 6 levels normally) and Sony VAIO CS21SP very good for watching movies.

3. Keyboard – The full-size VAIO-style (or Macbook-style) chiclet keyboard is great to type on. Well-spaced keys with low errors while typing. You know this when you start using it.

4. Touchpad – Ok. This is no Macbook with multi-touch but Sony VAIO CS21SP has a nice matte textured, large touchpad. Sony VAIO CS21SP is very responsive and convenient.

5. Switch-Mode – This is a new feature Sony has brought up. Sony VAIO CS21SP allows up to 3 custom settings for 5 buttons. For instance, you can have a setting for home use and specify 5 applications which can be easily accessed by 5 buttons located just above the keyboard. You can also set different wallpapers for each setting. Quite a handy feature.

6. Integrated webcam and microphone – These are pretty standard on laptops these days but the picture quality and sound quality from microphone is good.

7. Styling – The new Vaio design (tube-styling or whatever they call it) is amazing and Sony VAIO CS21SP looks pretty good. Overall the laptop looks sexy.

8. Construction – The laptop is quite sturdy and has a solid feel to it.

9. Cooling – This machine has ample cooling vents and at the right places. I can hardly hear the fan even when I am playing games on this (yes, I do play games and they run smoothly). The bottom hardly heats up and you can keep working with this on your lap for prolonged hours.

10. Wifi and bluetooth – Well, these come standard with wifi-n and bluetooth. I find Sony’s SmartWi application quite handy (don’t know why people complain about this). I can turn on/off bluetooth right from window’s sidebar easily and its easy to setup.

11. Battery Life – Well, don’t know if its really high but Sony VAIO CS21SP gives about 3-3.5 hours battery life with normal use, wifi on, bluetooth off and LCD brightness at 3.

CONS:

1. Sony bloatware – Well, a common problem with all the Vaio laptops/desktops – Sony’s pre-loaded softwares. I find some of them handy while some of them are junk and are just taking up space.

2. Speakers – The sound from the speakers is acceptable but not loud. Come on, this is just a 13″ laptop…you’re not going to make Sony VAIO CS21SP into a boombox.

3. USB ports – Sony VAIO CS21SP has just 2 USB ports, could have had at least 3.

4. No HDMI out – Well, I think the new systems have a better graphics card and HDMI out. My machine is a SR190 model and one of the earliest. The subsequent SR290 and SR390 (and similar numbered models) have better graphics and HDMI out, but 2 USB ports still.

5. LAN port and modem-port cover – I don’t know what Sony was thinking when they came out with this cheap idea of putting a flimsy, plastic cover on these ports. Sony VAIO CS21SP would have been better if they were open. The plastic cover hangs out once in a while with the slightest of touch. Quite annoying.

Almost Perfect……. The Sony SR250J is a good laptop. I bought Sony VAIO CS21SP for my father but find that I am using Sony VAIO CS21SP far more than he. The machine is reasonably fast and 4gb of ram really helps Vista move along. However I did not give Sony VAIO CS21SP 4 stars because I feel sony should have included a recovery disc and not make the end user create one. Sony VAIO CS21SP took 3 hours to create 2 recovery dvd’s. Now I am not sure if Sony VAIO CS21SP created Sony VAIO CS21SP from the leaner install (removed all the unnecessary software) or from the recovery partition that sony does not mention Sony VAIO CS21SP has. Turns out there is a recovery partition that can be accessed to reinstall the computer back to factory.

The other gripe I have with the laptop is that the screen collects finger prints and dust real easy. So have some screen wipes handy. Otherwise the laptop is great. I love it, however its not for me so i am going to have to buy myself one. Also if you plan to install Linux in dual boot, research Sony VAIO CS21SP since this is an vista 64 bit install and i cant seem to get linux to boot up.

Do not buy sony vaio laptop ( Worst’s laptop company in the world belive me). I purchase my laptop 10 months back and in that 10 months i sent my laptop to repair center 3 times,same problem in both the time i am not able to power on my laptop.customer service is very worst,they did not care customer problem and talk arogantly.So please do not buy Sony VAIO CS21SV product.

Shoulda Been A 3 1/2 Stars. I purchased Sony VAIO CS21SV laptop to work from home with. At first I was over charged $150.00 by Amazon. I got that settled. When I received the laptop, the CD/DVD door was jammed closed and I was unable to open it. I called right away and was sent a replacement and told NOT to send the defective one back until i received tne replacement one- I liked that, since you never know what can happen in the mail. The second laptop arrived quickly and appears to work fine.

Over all the laptop is nice, but the transaction with Amazon was a little sour.

ok. product came within specified timeframe, was in good condition cosmetically but crashed less than 3 weeks after reciept…so…. I enjoy Sony VAIO CS21SV .
