I hear a great deal about Carson and zen ray but I can't find any comparisons with the better known brands. how do they compare

These carson 3d binocs (TD-842ED is what I have) compare most favorably with the Nikon MK5's and the Vortex vipersI have looked at both and can say I see no real difference, Carson may even be slightly better. I look at things like close focus capabilty, speed of focus (how far do you have to spin the focus wheel to get from minimum to maximum), feel, durability, ease of use (how fast can you "get on" a target like a small bird, for instance) warranty (lifetime for carson, even if you are to blame for the problem!), etc. I don't know anything about zen ray! ew

For the money I think they are the best deal! I would say they are better than the monarchs and all others in that price range! I can see well beyond legal shooting hours with them. But it's only my opinion.

I have no idea. Both have proven very reliable. I've tried other brands and they frequently have unwriteable discs in the package...Sony rarely does. Ask Sony. Grandpa 6 times also!

Vuescan is fantastic and far more affordable than Silverfast which is outrageously priced. Mr Hamrick is great about support. He personally answers most questions in 24-48 hours via email. I would recommend the Pro version as it is much more flexible. I use Vuescan with my Coolscan 5000 and current Epson scanner.

vinpower digital make dvd duplication equipment, you will find them using a search engine. I use the 5280S which seems to be a model designed for duplicators. I find it to be very stable in PC based systems having several burners. The drives are good. On one of the 5280S drives I have, it says "Philips & Lite-on Digital Solutions Corporation". It also says OPTIARC AD-5280S. Optiarc is a sony brand. I do no know the relationship of names. I remeber seeing Sony on some of my others but I dont have one of those in front of me. Hope this helps!

Hands down the Philips Ariaz GO GEAR 16GB...I've had several and this is the best. If you are looking for something simple to use that let you create play lists and you can even search for genre, not to mention it's under 50 bucks. You just can't beat!

Your question is unanswerable, as I don't have other than the Tenergy Premium D batteries. Can't compare what I don't have. It's a question of whether one believes the advertised rating and description. It's a question of whether one buys both, compares for durability, sustained duration of charge, etc. Then, toss the inferior product and henceforth invest in the better one.

Sony CD's work very well. As long as the CD's say MUSIC (as in CD-R music) and have a purple wrapping label, they work very well, much better than any other brand. I even record them on my 1999 Gateway computer instead of my new computer. Also, if you record the songs at the SLOWEST POSSIBLE SPEED, they will record much better and be usable on many more types of players. All newer things are made for MORE SPEED, and don't work nearly as well as a slower speed. I don't like the way my new computer records songs so I use my antique computer. My 1999 computer has a place to record a CD and another place to play a CD. Newer computers only have one place to RECORD & PLAY a CD. Like everything else, older stuff is much better than new stuff, (be it cars, computers, or anything else). On my 1999 computer I can do so many more things working on a project than I can on my new computer, it is HARD TO BELIEVE. My 1999 HP all-in one printer is also much better than my new HP all-in-one printer. The only thing better on my new computer that is better is SPEED, not what it can do. I have tried all brands of CD's and "SONY CD-R music" CD's are by far the best in quality, what types of players they're played in, and how long they last. My CD's are recorded on my computer and work very well in my 1995 Trans Am, 2005 Bonneville GXP, either one of my 2 CD players in my Stereo, and in both my 1999 computer and my new computer. Memorex is about the only CD that you can buy in all stores anymore and they are not very good in quality or how long they last. SONY IS THE BEST.

I have used both the Norpro and Sunsella brands and find the Sunsella brand to be much better quality. The Norpro silicone is thinner and doesn't seem anywhere near as durable. It also doesn't feel like a full silicone product, it has a "plasticky" feel to it. Possibly not 100% silicone like the Sunsella brand. I also find the lids fit a lot more securely on the Sunsella brand, the Norpro lid is quite flimsy. I also performed the twist test on both products and the Sunsella brand retained it's color however the Norpro brand did not. So I would definitely go for the Sunsella brand! It looks like Sunsella have a special on at the moment and are selling theirs for $7.99 for 6 so work out to be cheaper than Norpro per mold too. Hope that helps!

I ending up buying the Mits wd-73835. It is the higher end model. Still a great deal vs plasma. The Mits bulbs are now only $99. On the other hand the Samsung at $1730 is a wicked deal and no bulbs to buy.

I can not help you with your question. I do not own those items. You can contact Carson Optical and they should be able to help you.

I don't have the gold, but I've researched it and they both seem like top-flight machines. My Pro is fantastic and I have a blast with it. It boils down to what you're looking for and how detailed a machine you want. The Pro is very detail oriented. The Gold, from what I've seen of people using it, is a very focused, get in and go machine. Not the answer you were hoping for, I'm sure, but it's the best I've got. This is a great hobby and however you may start you will find the right machine for your needs over time.

It's not worse then other brands, it's just not any better. It all depends on what you are looking for. Hope that helps.

i had the 4gb zen and i loved it so much, i sold it to get a bigger capcity. this is a very cool player and for the price, you cant go wrong. as far as the sd card goes, it is kept seperate from the internal library, which is good and bad. i personally like them to be intergrated, but sounds like you want to keep them separate, which is good for you. its like having two separate libraries! for example, i put over 800 songs on the Zen and i had a 2gb sd card ( only $15 on amazon) which i was able to put almost 200 songs and around 8 tv shows. so if i wanted to watch an episode of say, House, i select sd card on the menu and voila! now all the content i stored on my sd card appears. but if your playing music from the internal library and select "sd card" the music will stop and now your in the sd card library. pretty easy and straight foward player. i havent used the Unbox service, i just used Slysoft software called Clone Dvd Mobile to convert my own dvds to generic avi? i forget, but you have to select 320x240 res. or it wont work. that is the max resolution the zen can take. but its very sharp and clear and everything worked fine for me on the zen. but i can imagine if you press too many buttons at once, it could result in the player freezing up and i have done it before. not on this Zen, but on my old ZVM and ZV. so i learned to just be patient when dealing with any pmp or dap. hope this answers your question. ps: you might want to contact Amazon about the Unbox service and the ZEN. i read it was compatible.

They are great bulbs but they are not cheap. The quality of the light and the bulb are good. They used to have a better warranty. I tried Nokya and they looked good but did not last at all, even though they are cheaper they kept blowing out. If you do not want to spend the money then I would go with a Sylvania bulb. Hope this helps.

I agree with Betty, quality is better than orginal. Sorry I also am not familiar with that brand.

They are virtually the same. I've had both. I believe the super 3 is the "newer" design, but it's not any better than the other one. They both have the same list price, and like I said are virtually the same, so I'd go with the supertendermatic, since it's on sale.
