This software is to control Nikon digital cameras. I use it with my D50 dSLR. Since it is ‘work horse’ software, its highest compliment is that it works. The interface is easy and I was able to take time-lapse photos without reading the instruction manual. Part of me thinks that Nikon should give this software away, maybe a mail-in card for people who need to do things like this, but I’m happy that I have the software. If you want extra control of your camera, you need this software.
FYI, if you do time-lapse, you need to plug the camera in directly to AC power. A fully charged battery was drained in 214 frames over 4.5 hours, whereas in normal shooting mode, I have taken 745 photos over 4 hours and still had 3 shorter shooting days (60, 100, and 240 shots) left in the battery.

Great!!!Accurate. Easy. Slip it in pocket and walk. This is my fifth purchase of a pedometer and the only one that has ever rendered accurate step counts. I’m not interested in how fast I’m breathing or whether it can count competition walking, I just want to work on getting nearer my 10,000 steps goal. This makes that effort easier.

Great product- I had no idea how much hair my cat was swallowing till I used this! It’s amazing and has cut down on shedding drastically. Just make sure you groom where you can vacuum later, because there will be A LOT of hair coming off =)

I’ve had this vacuum for a little over a month and have mixed feelings.

When it worked, it was quite loud, but sucked up everything I put in its path (including large paint chips when moving out of an apartment). It had no problem picking up hair from a carpet (handy with two cats) and didn’t require me to stop after completing a room and pull hair out of the belt like my preceding vacuum. No problem with the cord length but had a LARGE problem with the cord attachments. Namely, whenever you use one of the hose attachments, the main vac never turns off, so it’s sucking through the hose and through the bottom simultaneously (even when the handle is locked upright), resulting, sometimes, in dust shooting out of the hole where the hose connects.

The reason it gets two stars is my fiance went to vacuum last night with the hose attachment, went to move the vacuum so she could reach a spot, and accidentally went over the cord with the bottom of the vacuum for half of a second. In that half second, the cord was completely shredded and severed, caused an electrical fire, and burnt our carpet.

A call to Hoover informed us that this is not considered a manufacturer’s defect (even though having the bottom constantly running seems like a pretty big design flaw, idle or not), so we will have to pay to have it repaired ($25-40, depending on the vacuum). Needless to say, we’re not pleased.

UPDATE: Turns out the $25-40 is actually $80-90 with parts and labor. That’s more than it cost to purchase the vacuum in the first place. Hoover just lost a customer.
