Severely limiting2008-11-22
I've owned one for a good 6 years now (give or take) and it's a decent camera for the point and shoot minded photographer. While being an SLR, it's still a fully automatic camera. This means no light meter, no adjusting of aperture or shutter speed and little control in the way of adjusting for situations. It's the type of camera that a user will quickly grow out of. I personally found myself using it as a tourism camera, with a Cannon AE-1 for serious projects (until a more modern Rebel replaced them both).

It's a funny camera really. It has the capability to look serious until you notice it has only 5 buttons (one being a redundant autofocus button), and the camera is also very light and compact. I've noticed if the film is not put in juuust right, it can sometimes auto-rewind after a shot or two. It's no fun having to dig out negatives and/or throw away a couple shots sometimes.

I was honestly just a kid when I bought the camera, but I wish I took my money to something else now.
Beware refurbished Maxxum 3's2005-04-26
I bought a factory refurbished Maxxum 3 and immediately regretted it. Both rolls of film I tried, it spontaneously rewound the film after taking 4-5 pictures! Nice.
Excellent camera2004-11-11
I bought this camera because I love to take pictures. I started using the camera and I loved the way the pictures are so sharp and detailed. This camera is now attached to my hip and I take it everywhere now. Very good buy for the amateur or expert.
great camera2004-03-25
This camera takes perfect pictures. Every little detail in the photo is crystal clear. I can't believe how horrible all my pictures from my previous camera look compared to the pictures that the maxxum 3 takes. I highly recommend this camera.

Audio & Video Connections Guide
" For a list of all the ways technology has failed to improve the quality of life, please press three." - Alice Kahn This quote is certainly applicable to consumer electronics. From the very first commercially produced radios to the latest in high-definition television technology, the manner in which the components used to deliver our news, music, movies and entertainment are interconnected seems to have escaped logic. For both the newcomer and the old hand alike, connecting equipment in the most efficient and effective manner can be a painful chore. It is hoped this article will improve your background knowledge concerning potential A/V system connection schemes and where each is most appropriate. The next time you find yourself in a "connectivity quandary" perhaps the ideas shared here will help you to quickly solve the riddle of which wire goes where and why!

Core 2 Duo Scaling
Laptop Scaling Intel's Core 2 Duo is easily the best mobile processor on the market today, boasting sky-high performance and low power consumption. But which CPU is for you: the super expensive T7600, the bargain-priced T5500, or something in between? This article will first take a look at the various versions of Core 2 Duo that Intel has to offer. We will compare Core 2 Duo clocked at four speed grades: 2.33GHz, 2.16GHz, 2GHz, and 1.83GHz in a variety of benchmarks and let you know how to get your best bang for the buck. Note: We will refer to a Core 2 Duo “T7000�multiple times in this article. We were unable to get a Merom sample with 2MB L2 cache, thus we lowered the clock speed of our 4MB L2 model to 1.83GHz to perform near that of the T5600 (1.83GHz, 2MB L2 cache), resulting in our unofficial “T7000�nomenclature. The Core 2 Duo Processor Intel has two lines of Core 2 Duo processors: notebook and desktop. Core 2 Duo for notebooks is codenamed Merom, while Core ...
