www.cchr.co.za Review:

The first pen camera sent to me didn't work properly, so I contacted Crushers, Inc. as instructed by co-founder Ryan. He sent a new micro sd card which didn't fix the problem. He asked me to send it back to them and the pen would be replaced. I received the new pen camera and it works perfectly! It has a good picture. It would be a little easier to use if it was a one-button press to record, but I'm sure I'll get used to it with practice. I'm very satisfied with the value of my purchase and would recommend the Spy Pen highly. Good customer service!

I love this product but I had to uninstall my previous version to get the new one to work. Had I not read that in another review, I probably would have freaked out a bit. Anyone who buys should be aware of the fact that it might not just be a download and off you go process. Don't panic if it happens to you.

This thing is underpowered junk. When the front spindle gets burdened by about 10 minutes of tape, it becomes very sensitive to any changes in tension ... meaning it will speed up or slow down and create a lot of pitch distortion. I suppose that may be OK on some things (lectures? some genres of music?), but not OK for my purpose (classical). The head is also very sensitive to imperfections on tapes, bleeding thru strange changes in volume, tape hiss, and other things my original tape decks did not. You can edit out some, but not all; what a hassle though. I guess I will haul out my cassette deck left from my 1987 stereo and try to find a way to hook it up now (along with the turntable, just do everything at once).

Great magazine for travel dreamers. I think for the average person, the article will not see practical.

As often happens these days, several video distributors will release editions of classic films with pretentiously superlative labels, such as "deluxe", "collectors'", or in this case, "Ultimate Collector's".
