pretty junky. The settings are crude and entirely manual

I was immediately unimpressed when looked at the construction of this unit. It is basically the quality you would expect from a $20 film camera in the 1990's..pretty junky. The settings are crude and entirely manual. It has two small low quality lenses. It doesn't hold a candle to the Stereo  Realist I used to have. That being said, I believe it is the only product out there for taking simultaneous stereo pairs with an dslr. Overall I am pretty disappointed. I will probably snap a few shots then sell it on Ebay. I am glad I bought it used and didn't pay the full $200. Definitely don't pay $200 for this.

I know about technology. i know quite a bit about it. this isn't another one of those reviews where the person didn't know how to set it up and thus hates it. this is a review from someone who has many security cameras around the house and is quite familiar with setting them up.

if you have even a shred of networking knowledge, you can have this set up in literally 5 minutes or less. easy enough. but once it's set up, you see what the image looks like....not good. it's somewhat clear, but the colors are quite washed out. greens are more reddish and overall it's just bad. take the money you would have spent here, and add a few more bucks for bette quality. mine quit working within a few days.

I'm using this TV (42LV4400) as a computer monitor, not as a regular TV so I expected to read the manual on the more advanced settings.

The printed manual is VERY abbreviated. I then read the PDF on the CD provided. It has just a _little_ more information than the printed version. The LG folks are just really lazy about documenting the product. There are many unique-to-LG options none of which are explained.

An important setting is "Just Scan" which stops the TV from otherwise cropping off quite a wide swath of boundary pixels. Another is to turn down to zero the "sharpening" which is just plain silly when there is a digital signal. Noise reduction also makes no sense. The Gamma has several settings but their value is not defined.

At the very least LG should have provided an sRGB option that allows the display to be configured for general computer use with defaults that make sense OR write a decent manual.

This piece of junk made me feel so inferior that I couldn't sleep due to the complex.
Product with no insruction manual except brief cartoon with broken English. It is a joke.
I'm born with horse wagons and plow, not with nintendo and mcintosh. A pair of scissor I bought had better instruction MANUAL than this junk piece of techi. Destroyed my Window Media file and program as soon as I connected. I won't go by review anymore to decide what to buy.

I did the right thing at first - I read the user manual, even though I had to use a magnifying glass to read it. The author did not know much English - and knew nothing about writing a user manual. I kept going over the manual, and comparing it with the hardware (no easy matter) until I thought I was beginning to understand it.

Then I tried to use it. And found I could not. It may do all the things it claims to do (and it claims to do nearly everything) - but its user interface is so awkward it is hard to tell. It is clear that user testing was not done at all.

Which means, for all practical purposes - it is useless.

It needs a complete redesign, with the user in mind - and a decent user manual.

It's pretty mediocre. You get what you pay for here. It looks OK, but the instructions are garbage. What are the two extra seals for? I don't know, the instructions don't mention their existence!! I wound up having to teflon tape all the joints, which the instructions don't say you need to do, to prevent it from leaking like a sieve.

Only 2 of the settings are really worthwhile, rain or high pressure. The rest are kinda pointless because they lose too much pressure.

The picture quality is TERRIBLE.  I was worried that we had the settings set incorrectly, but then realized that there is NO customization of the settings.  There is a reason this camera is so cheap.  Not to mention EZ-Share is a ridiculous concept.

It's a pain in the arse. The instructions are so blurry and so vague that I never did figure out what they were talking about. I ended up just using them in a way that sort of worked. I'd just return both of them, but it's not even worth the bother.

Worst manual I've ever seen in an electronics product. Tells you all sorts of details of how to alter the crossover frequencies, and such. Doesn't actually tell you how to use the product. The user interface is, if anything, slightly worse. For example, there is a button called "analog". No idea what it does, but after you press it, you can never turn it off.
These guys need to get lessons from Apple.

Crude junk.  No instructions.  Push-pull zoom just like the $5 LED flashlights.  Low-High-Flash: Is that it?  Smells of oil.  FEELS of oil.  No clue as to the battery required for the free taillight...20mm something (CR20XX?), but you need to buy the battery and install it to find out.  Super crude circuit board for the tail light.  Mild rust on all the metal parts for the bracket.  This is just a $5 flashlight with another $2 of other stuff.

I sent this camera back after using it for a few days.  The images taken with the intelligent auto setting are frequently really awful. You can get good pictures if you take the time to set things manually, but I buy a point and shoot camera primarily to use on automatic mode.  I found the colors to be dull, the images to be underexposed, the dynamic range to be dismal and, at the long end of the zoom range, the contrast to be terrible.  For such an expensive camera, this is really unacceptable. Judge for yourself from the attached images, all shot on auto mode. I am an experienced photographer, having shot 35 mm for decades and don't mind doing manual settings. However, there are many times that it simply takes too long and the shot is missed if it is all done manually, especially given the clunkiness of manual controls on a camera of this type. Thus, it is critical that the auto mode gives reasonably reliable results..

First and foremost, Logitech's product information on their website is sorely lacking in any kind of meaningful information that would allow one to make an informed purchasing decision.  There's no user manual for the Harmony App, no documentation on the configurability of the remote, no details on how exactly one can modify Activities.

I ended up purchasing the unit to figure out some very basic aspects of what it can and cannot do.  What I found was a remote that is so cumbersome to configure that I gave up on trying to see if it could do the advanced things I wanted.  It has limited capabilities, designed for rather straightforward installations that are content with "watch TV", "watch DVD", etc.  But add in a TV that has variable delays at startup, a receiver that has FM presets tucked a couple of layers deep and the Harmony is anything but harmonious with the AV system.  Cute remote, but it doesn't communicate its status at all.  You don't know if you are controlling the inputs on the TV or the presets on the receiver.

I am an engineer who works with complex electronic systems for a living so the Harmony was by no means intimidating.  I think it suffers from trying to be a one size fits all product and ends up being unsuccessful, overall.

Basically both hardware and software on this thing are poor. You can see individual pixels which makes the images blocky. Doesn't always recognize the JPEGs on my cards. The sound quality is mediocre at best. The finish is cheap and plasticky. I returned it the very day I opened the box. It is a pity that you can't play music as the photos are being shown. You can only do things one at a time.

It's alright. That's about it. And I'm being generous because my kid got it as a gift that I didn't pay for. If I had paid retail price for this I'd be a lot less satisfied.

First off it says for 3 and up. No way. My 6 year old and I had a good time putting it together. But it's WAY to complex for a 3 year old.

It's kinda fun. But it won't teach you anything about how a car works. The joy is in bolting the pieces together and seeing the car take shape.

But it's not without it's problems.

The fenders don't bolt on properly. There are 3 bolts on each side. 1 of them doesn't line up with the holes on the car frame. It's a good inch out of line. That's not an installation error. That's a massive design flaw.

The headlights are a stupid design, to say the least. You push the headlight in to turn it on/off. But there is a red button next to the headlight that disables it completely until it's removed from the socket and a button on the side of the battery casing it reset. I ended up taping those reset buttons down so the red button doesn't do anything. That's just insane that it would do that. There is absolutely no reason for it.

The ignition switch is junk. It has another complex reset system that doesn't work. The key makes the engine starting sound about once every ten times it's turned. You may as well just save the batteries and leave them out of the ignition key. It's an insanely overly complex design for 1 purpose whatsoever.

The orange header pipes just sit there. Nothing holds them in. It took us all of an hour to lose one. And opening the hood knocks them off every single time.

My biggest complaint is the tools that come with it. It comes with 2 spark plug wrenches...for the 4 spark plugs. Why do you need 2 wrenches for 4 plugs? But it's got 25 larger bolts that hold all the other components together and no screwdriver that fits them. There's a wrench that's awkward to use. Thankfully I have a plastic screwdriver from another tool toy that fit and made this toy usable.

As far as the Matchbox cars ramp...why? It's an 18 inch ramp that goes straight down. It's so simple it's boring. What's the point? It has nothing to do with the overall toy. It's like an add on element that was poorly thought out.

All in all, it's not worth the money. If you get one free it's alright. I would never spend money on it.

Don't get it for kids under 6. It's just WAY too complicated. And it's poorly designed.

Its so frustrating when there is a decent product and lame manual (documentation or instructions).  The manual for this is mostly about wifi.  You won't get any info on the basic or more complicated functions of the camera.  To set auto shoot (the reason one buys a point and shoot), the instructions are unclear.  To turn the flash on or off, no instructions.  To do the most ordinary things, no instructions.  Should you want to branch out and use the "snow" effect or one of the other useless "effects" you will get no instructions on how to do that.  Once you start flipping through the assorted menus and functions, the camera will do things you can't get out of easily.  There is no ease of use.  You will want to return it.  This would of been different had the manufacturer taken some care with the manual.  Advice:  don't buy.

Crummy picture quality.
Loud fan.
Cumbersome controls.
Poor quality buttons.
A great bargain for someone who doesn't care about quality in any regard.
I wish I had saved my time and boughten a more expensive unit.

All flash and no substance.  From the fake VU meters and bright blue lights to the mediocre amplifier and even worse FM tuner, to the nasty acrid smell coming from the box that worsens when the unit heats up, this is less useful than a toy.
