Zip Drive performed like a dream straight out of the box (excellent packing btw). Connected to my Win 10 PC, displayed in Windows Explorer and able to copy from my old zip disks to my PC.

High quality, flexible and robust
The Canon Sureshot A560 produces high quality images and is extremely easy to use. Its controls are intuitive and readily accessible. The automatic controls are accurate and sensitive, coping with the vast majority of situations. The face recognition technology ensures the colour balance is accurate and that the key features of the shot (ie your partner, family or friends) are in focus. The manual settings provide control for difficult shots, such as those which require a fill-in flash or when you want to create effects such as motion-blur. The greatest asset for me is the viewfinder. I often find using an LCD screen awkward and, in bright sunlight, difficult to use. The screen also wastes battery power. Talking of which, being able to insert standard AA batteries is another great advantage over cameras which need to be plugged into a charger (not many of those on a beach or mountain-top!). There is also no time limit to the length of video clip (other than the size of the memory card). The quality of image and sound is good - sufficient to be edited into a TV quality video. It is slightly more chunky (but not much more) than some compacts - but this is to accommodate the AA batteries - which for me is a trade off I can live with - particularly as the image quality is far better than many more expensive compacts.

Great piece of kit for a first time user
I purchased my N40i as a factory refurb with 6 months warranty as I was not sure if I would make full use of a sat-nav and wanted to try one out without shelling out an enormous amount of money. I must say that I am impressed. It does everything it says on the box very well. I also bought a new T1 traffic module at the same time. For a one-off payment of £18.00 (ie no hidden subscription costs), it provides me with up to date news on hold-ups, road closures and detours. It recalculates a journey if it finds a traffic event on my planned route without making a fuss. When I was sold the unit, it came without the installation disks (which is why it was so cheap) but I was told these were downloadable from the website - they're not. However, I contacted Navman's UK customer care and once I proved I had bought the unit legitimately (from a recognised dealer), they provided me with a full set of disks for no charge. Now that's what I call service! My wife gets car-sick if she tries to read maps. This unit has already reduced the stress of travelling to unknown areas and improved our marital relationships - I wish I could say the same for all bits of technology! PROs - easy to set up, directions easy to follow including three different options for having the directions displayed, recalculates the route very quickly if you veer off course, cheap traffic add-on, customer care (see above), easy to use computer software for installing Points of Interest etc., built-in camera which enables you to take (1.3 Mp) images which then are mapped on to the location they were taken (and you can upload and download images from the NavPix website), well known TeleAtlas mapping system, pre-loaded speed camera data which can be updated (for a fee), SD card slot, reliability (so far). CONs - takes as long as three minutes to find your location (which I don't find a problem), doesn't have all the latest bells and whistles. Conclusion - if you want a cheap reliable SatNav which has the added feature of NavPix and is easily and cheaply expandable for traffic events, you can't go far wrong with the N40i.
