Good charger for a good price
2008-08-05I love this charger. I don't know if it's just me or if this charger can charge a Zune faster that the regular USB cable. I thought it was pretty dumb that Microsoft didn't include an A/C cable with the Zune but all you have to do is buy this one and all your troubles are solved.

Great
2008-07-12Does what it is supposed to.
Does not work with the mini zune.

It Just Works
2008-06-12The Product Just Works. It charges the Zune and cuts off when its charged. Whats kinda cool is while its charging and ur playing music, the screen stays lit by default. Kinda Nifty. It does cut off when the music is done.

Works with my 30GB Zune
2008-03-20At first, this charger didn't work and the seller (Vortex Cable) sent me another one ASAP at no charge for shipping. The replacement works good so far. It was able to charge my 1st Generation 30GB Zune. The product description says there is a built-in IC chip to prevent overcharging. I haven't experienced this feature yet as I keep a close eye when my Zune charges (only about 1 hour max at a time so I don't over-charge the battery because replacing the battery is more expensive than replacing this charger).
I would definately recommend this product especially at such a great price on Amazon.

Not great...
2008-02-02This would have probably worked well, if they had bothered to mention that it doesn't work with second-gen Zune 30's.
They probably didn't mention it because they don't know and refuse to admit that there ARE a second-generation of Zunes that, like the Zune 8 and 80's, don't work with the old Zune 30 accessories.
This is one of those accessories. So, if you've bought your Zune 30 since fall of 2007, don't bother. You'll complain that it doesn't work, they'll ask you over and over if you're sure you have a Zune 30, you'll tell them "yes", they'll send you another one and the process will repeat.

A Quick Look At the Professional Digital Camcorder
Introduction
Professional digital camcorders are better than your analog camcorder, or even your digital video camera. The advancements that have been made in the camcorder industry are amazing. Just like everything else they keep getting more and more advanced, and shrinking in size. Even though we have seen much advancement, the price keeps getting more and more affordable. Professionals are not the only ones who can now enjoy the wonderful benefits of a professional
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A professional digital camcorder allows creativity and quality to meet, and the cost is far lower than it was only a few years ago. Even in the late 1990's most professionals were using Betamax professional quality analog recorders, though the professional digital camcorder was starting to come into its own back then.

Digital cameras are good for the environment
As we consider the digital camera revolution that has taken place over the last decade, most people think about it in terms of enhanced benefits for consumers. We can take a lot more pictures at much lower cost with digital cameras versus film cameras. We can also more easily manipulate and share those photos since they're all in the digital realm.
But one thing many people don't think about actually deserves mention as potentially the most profound effect of the digital camera revolution: how digital cameras greatly reduce the destructive impact on the environment compared to film cameras.
At first, you might think, "How can that be? My film camera didn't harm the environment!" Even though it wasn't your camera that harmed the environment, your film processing did indeed harm it. Any time you take your pictures to a photo processing center, that film is run through batches of chemicals. These chemicals are environmental hazards, and once they are used to process film, those chem ...
