If you understand what you're getting with this product then, in my opinion, it has a very good quality to value product. Firstly, you're getting a number of sheets of clear, thin film, protector. It's a universal protector so it's supposed to fit a number of different products. The result of which is that you need a pair of scissors to cut the sheet to fit the screen on your phone, digi-cam, what-have-you. I didn't find it a big deal with a pair of reasonable steady hands to cut the sheet (so don't drink that 4-shot espresso drink before doing it). I also didn't have a hard time figuring out what size to cut with the grid lines for a guide. I applied this to my cell phone. Installation was as easy or hard as any other protector of this type where you have to roll it on while you squeege with the card simulateously to get the bubbles out. If you've done it a couple of times, then not a big deal. If it's the first time you've ever done this, it may take some practice. The only complaint I would have is that the card board squeege card is not the best. My technique is to use a plastic card like my Costco card and wrap a piece of tshirt cloth around it so the edge doesn't pre-scratch the film (but, even if I just used a bare card it's ok with this product...see next paragraph).
Once installed, there's likely to be a few small bubbles (depending on your skill) left over. Again, this is similar to other products that are similar. You can only really see them when the screen isn't illuminated. I can't see them when my screen is on. If you're expecting a screen protector that is completely bubble-less, then you will be disappointed (however, what do you expect for the price). However, if you know that you'll get a few and they aren't noticeable when you're actually using the screen, then no big deal. The one nice thing about this product in comparison to others is that the screen protector has two peel-away sides. First, you peel away the side that's going to stick to the screen. Then, after it's on your screen, you peel away the second throw-away side and you're left with the actual screen protector. The nice thing about this is that while you're squeeging away, you're not pre-scratching the screen protector itself. Other products of the same ilk do not have this second peel away/throw away side. Very nice I think.
Another thing is that if you're expecting not to have to replace the film occasionally, then you will again be disappointed. But, again, see price. Personally, I purchased it expecting to replace the film occasionally because it gets scratched up or begins peeling significantly. But, that's why I purchased the multi-pack. Also, I can get two cut-outs for my cell from a single sheet so double the amount of sheets in the pack (20 screen protectors for my phone).
So, overall, if you know what you're buying, I think it's a very good product with the right price. It's exactly what I expected.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 12 MP Digital Camera with 5x Optical Zoom and Super Steady Shot Image Stabilization (Dark Blue) Review

I originally bought a Sony DSC-S950, for around half the price of this camera, but I returned it the same day due to a faulty flash bulb. I decided to upgrade to the W290, because I wasn't very happy with the S950 - it felt cheap, and lacked features.
I've put together this list of pros and cons of this camera. Don't let the seemingly long list of cons scare you though, as they are all quite minor and not even important enough for me to rate this camera anything less than 5 stars. I just felt it was necessary to list everything I could think of. Sorry, I couldn't properly review the HD Video capability, because I don't have the HD cables (see below), and my computer seems to be too slow to properly play back HD video.
Pros:
-BRILLIANT colors! I am very very impressed with the colors in my shots, especially when shooting outdoor scenery shots (which is primarily what I purchased this camera for).
-Night-time shots using a tripod turn out very well also, giving as much detail as one could see with their naked eye.
-Smile shutter, as mentioned in previous reviews, works flawlessly. One thing that doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere, is that when it's in Smile Shutter mode, it will continue to snap photos automatically as long as it keeps detecting smiles, which is very cool. So if you are taking a group picture, and you're one of those people that likes taking 3 shots of the same thing "just in case", just keep on smiling and the camera will take care of that for you.
-there's a 3-shot burst mode, where it automatically takes 3 pictures when you click the button: one with your default EV, one at -1EV, and one at +1EV (or different intervals even, if you choose). That once-in-a-lifetime shot you take will have 3 different versions automatically, and you can choose the one you like the most and delete the rest later.
-The Intelligent Auto mode works fantastically, it takes a lot of the stress out of taken urgent pictures. The only time I ever don't use it is when I have plenty of time to plan for a shot.
-Startup time is great! I've seen other complaints from people that say this camera takes too long to startup and be ready to use, but those people must be the most impatient people ever, because this thing is faster than any other camera I've owned, digital or otherwise. When you click the power button, the lens fires out lightning fast and the screen immediately displays the picture and is ready for action. Probably takes about 0.5 seconds from pushing the button to being ready to use.Cons:
-Plastic cover on LCD screen protrudes from the camera body, making it more easily scratched. I would recommend getting some screen protectors, as I'm about to do.
-the jack for the all-in-one cable is on the bottom of the camera, which will be great once a dock is available, but in the meantime it's a very inconvenient place to plug in the cable. It forces you to lay to camera on either the lens side, or the LCD side (which, as mentioned above, is designed in such a way that it could be scratched quite easily without a screen protector)
-Doesn't come with HD video cables, only the typical yellow/red/white RCA analogue cables. Seeing as how this camera records HD video, it would be nice to be able to play it back in HD on my tv without burning it to a DVD first. You can buy the HD cables from sony if you really need them, though.
-Comes with an NP-BG1 battery, which disables the camera's ability to show you the remaining minutes. You have to buy the optional NP-FG1 battery to see that. That's the only difference, both batteries have the same capacity. It was obviously designed that way to force us to buy a second battery... but that was fine with me, since I planned on buying one anyways.I would definitely recommend this camera to anyone looking for a great quality point-and-shoot digital camera!
