Bought Refurbished2009-04-16
I bought this generation 5.5 ipod to use with an older video viewer I have. Unfortunately the video viewer will not work with the newer generation ipods. This one has 80GB which is plenty of room for the movie and video podcast files I have. I prefer to use the video viewer for trips and apple TV for home. As with all ipods I have owned, this one is especially nice for the price and for what I use it for. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles of the ipod touch but 5 to 10 times more room (for more movies). I've had some friends who have experienced this model locking up on occasion but so far I have not had this problem. Screen is much clearer than the zune, although slightly smaller I guess. Overall very happy with this purchase. The company I ordered it from was very quick, and it was well packed. Five stars for them too.
Great iPod2009-03-05
I used a 4gb mini ipod for about 4 years, until it was lost/stolen (not sure). I wanted a replacement to use to plug into the auxiliary jack for my truck's sound system. I always had to limit my music downloaded onto my ipod, but not so anymore. With the 80gb hard drive, I'm only filling about 15% of its usable memory, so there is plenty of room to grow with me. It functions great, looks great, and I'm happy with its navigability. Overall, if you want a music player that will also store/share photos, videos, show album artwork, and all backed by the Apple brand. Then this is for you.
Great design, good looking and easy to use.2009-02-13
My previous iPod lacked sufficient battery life and the basic video features. This one vastly improved the color screen and the functionality. Covers for artwork, podcasts, and far easier ability to access the videos. I really like the click wheel for operation.

The iTunes software interface is lightning fast. I mean it takes seconds to start ripping music. Also, Apple highly compressing the music so you can load a ton of songs quick and still have tons of storage capacity to work with.

Rockbox it2009-02-05
I would not have gotten this player except for the fact that it can be rockboxed (www.rockbox.org) and it sounds fantastic with the replacement firmware. I am currently playing FLAC and OGG files.
ipod review2008-12-29
I recieved an 80GB ipod. When I took it out, it did not work(maybe UPS didn't handle with care). Ipodzens paid for 3 day air mail back to the store and back to me at their own expense, so I could have it before Christmas. I was very pleased with their customer service. When I recieved the ipod for the second time, it worked and seems to be in perfect working condition. I am a very skeptical person, but I am pleased with their willingness to make things right. I would recommend buying from this company.

Digital camera batteries
Batteries are vital for all photography and makiing sure that you have a spare set is essential if you intend to take alot of pictures. Print digital also recommend that when deciding upon a digital camera keep in mind what sort of batteries it takes. Does it take rechargeable batteries, are the batteries built and do you have to plug it into the mains, or does the camera only take standard batteries, if so then it can become exspensive if you are a keen photographer and use the camera alot.
