+{"text":"first of all , i bought this dvd as a christmas present for my girlfriend and i am somewhat disappointed .","label":0,"idx":119}

+{"text":"because of this , i am disappointed and would not recommend this product .","label":0,"idx":123}
+{"text":"after two weeks the picture kept freezing .","label":0,"idx":124}
+{"text":"apex sucks ! .","label":0,"idx":125}
+{"text":"unit worked great for 3 weeks then video output failed .","label":0,"idx":126}

+{"text":"output went black and white only via both s-video and composite connections , and with no v-hold .","label":0,"idx":135}
+{"text":"p . s the remote control does seem to get confused at times and doesnt respond but it may be just operator error ? .","label":0,"idx":136}
+{"text":"what the hell is wrong with this thing .","label":0,"idx":137}
+{"text":"forget about the sleek looks if it can 't play some of your real dvds .","label":0,"idx":138}

+{"text":"imagine my shock - and absolute instant disdain for any products made by apex .","label":0,"idx":148}
+{"text":"the 2nd dvd player had a faulty power supply which caused to occasionally not turn on .","label":0,"idx":149}
+{"text":"the ad-1600 did n 't work correctly from the start and the ad-1220 lasted about a week and a half before it started to act up .","label":0,"idx":150}
+{"text":"the front door is miss aligned on my unit and you have to manually life it up just so slightly for the door to close , a very annoying thing after ah wile .","label":0,"idx":151}
+{"text":"we tried the \" finding memo \" dvd and when we got to ~ chapter 28 , the frames started to freeze for no reason .","label":0,"idx":152}
+{"text":"i can 't rate it one star only because when it does work it 's pretty good .","label":0,"idx":153}
+{"text":"only owned it about two weeks so i expect we 're looking at getting another progressive scan dvd player of higher quality very soon .","label":0,"idx":154}

+{"text":"one still works fine , the other quit after one day .","label":0,"idx":160}
+{"text":"apex 's website is down and they wo n 't answer their phone .","label":0,"idx":161}
+{"text":"it seems to be a little slow when identifying a new disc that 's inserted - maybe 10 seconds of wait .","label":0,"idx":162}
+{"text":"when i hooked it up it only produced sound - a cd played fine , but with a dvd i only got the audio - no picture ! .","label":0,"idx":163}
+{"text":"seemed like a good deal , but this pps frequently can not recognize dvds and music cds -- takes a long time loading and then concludes , \" no disc \" .","label":0,"idx":164}
+{"text":"granted , i have only used this dvd player for about 2 hours setting it up for my mom for christmas , but that was long enough for me to find problems with this dvd player .","label":0,"idx":165}
+{"text":"first , the player did not allow me to access the menus of dvds .","label":0,"idx":166}
+{"text":"this is extremely lame .","label":0,"idx":167}
+{"text":"the remote is flimsy-feeling and awkward to use .","label":0,"idx":168}
+{"text":"in addition , it only seems to work if you 're about five feet away from the player , although that may have been just the batteries that came with it .","label":0,"idx":169}
+{"text":"after less than 24 hours it turned out to be a huge disappointment , for myself and for my parents , for whom it was a gift .","label":0,"idx":170}
+{"text":"it played only one out of three dvd 's without problems , the other two being afflicted by a number of glitches .","label":0,"idx":171}
+{"text":"both of the problem dvd 's would repeatedly freeze during playback , while the counter on the player kept going .","label":0,"idx":172}
+{"text":"one also exhibited extremely slow speed when going to the menu .","label":0,"idx":173}
+{"text":"the dvd door would scratch the top of the disc every time it closed .","label":0,"idx":174}
+{"text":"all in all , trying to save some money on this player resulted in me shelling a great deal more when i purchased a much nicer dvd vcr combo player to make up for blazing creepiness of this very embarassing gift .","label":0,"idx":175}
+{"text":"i was impressed by this very inexpensive player . for the first three hours , and then it died .","label":0,"idx":176}
+{"text":"there are a couple of quirks that were a bit annoying like having to actually press the power button before the tray will open ( my perv . machine did it automatically ) , and the fact that the external display is too small and too faded to read from any significant distance .","label":0,"idx":177}
+{"text":"i get to chapter 34 and everything freezes ! .","label":0,"idx":178}

+{"text":"i called apex 's support number numerous times but it just kept ringing .","label":0,"idx":182}
+{"text":"the build quality shows why its so cheap - small scratches on the base plate , something that you would n 't see on a sony and an overall plastic feel","label":0,"idx":183}
+{"text":"remote buttons are small and closely spaced , especially with the menu buttons .","label":0,"idx":184}
+{"text":"the one i purchased for a friend as a gift will not read any dvd disc .","label":0,"idx":185}
+{"text":"however , it has failed to deliver on quality .","label":0,"idx":186}
+{"text":"it does not only have difficulty playing jpegs , it even has trouble properly playing dvd movies .","label":0,"idx":187}
+{"text":"on several different occasions it has displayed \" no disc \" with a disc inside .","label":0,"idx":188}
+{"text":"i read in consumer reports that apex is a reliable brand , but with my experience and reading the other reviews , i think i will be doing a little more homework before considering another apex product .","label":0,"idx":189}

+{"text":"the reason i rated it a four is because of that darn diopter adjustment dial . its very small and hard to turn so you can 't get an accurate adjustment ( for those of you who do n 't know what a diopter adjustment is , it is to adjust the focus of the viewfinder to your eyesight . )","label":0,"idx":196}

+{"text":"the only knock i have is that the flash is underpowered .","label":0,"idx":250}
+{"text":"after reading reviews of lcd problems , cracked , black blobs etc , i figured that it was probably a very limited problem .","label":0,"idx":251}
+{"text":"after 57 pictures total the lcd went black except for the icons showing the settings .","label":0,"idx":252}
+{"text":"you can set the optical zoom before shooting and than while shooting video adjust a digital zoom in and out however due to the cameras light weight camera shake is a problem to contend with .","label":0,"idx":253}
+{"text":"the disadvantages of this camera is it has been having some trouble with its autofocus on a few occasional pictures , especially quick candid shots where you start up and shot as quick as you can .","label":0,"idx":254}
+{"text":"i would imagine this is a problem with any camera of a compact nature .","label":0,"idx":255}
+{"text":"also as someone who at least knows a little bit about the technical work of taking a photo i really miss having manual controls .","label":0,"idx":256}

+{"text":"there were many times when i clicked the automatic shutter and nothing happens .","label":0,"idx":268}
+{"text":"the controls are hard to manipulate , especially in the dark .","label":0,"idx":269}
+{"text":"the lcd screen is too small since there are so many cameras that have larger ones .","label":0,"idx":270}
+{"text":"the only thing i don 't like is the small size ( 8 meg ) memory card that comes with it .","label":0,"idx":271}

+{"text":"first off , the battery .","label":0,"idx":275}
+{"text":"this camera uses a lithium battery , i find lithium batteries to be highly inconvenient ; . because what if you are on vacation , where the nearest place to buy batteries is just a gas station -- there is no way that you are going to find lithium batteries there .","label":0,"idx":276}
+{"text":"not only is it inconvenient , but also the battery life span is short .","label":0,"idx":277}
+{"text":"this isn 't uncommon in cameras , though , just as long as you bring your charger and spare batteries , you should be fine .","label":0,"idx":278}
+{"text":"another problem i had with this camera was the zoom function .","label":0,"idx":279}
+{"text":"such a small zoom length that you would think that the zoom would be silent since it hardly zooms in . . . wrong ! .","label":0,"idx":280}
+{"text":"the zoom function on this camera is so loud that sometimes you will be unable to use it if you find yourself in a situation where you must be quiet .","label":0,"idx":281}
+{"text":"even just turning the camera on will move the lens a little , resulting in a noisy start-up .","label":0,"idx":282}
+{"text":"the flash is very weak .","label":0,"idx":283}
+{"text":"the last problem i found with this camera was the macro function .","label":0,"idx":284}
+{"text":"the auto-focus on the camera seems to have trouble focusing on the subject .","label":0,"idx":285}
+{"text":"to make matters work , there is no manual override to overcome this problem .","label":0,"idx":286}
+{"text":"it 's not my first choice in cameras ,","label":0,"idx":287}
+{"text":"1 ) it is perhaps too small .","label":0,"idx":288}
+{"text":"i find it a bit difficult to manage the very tiny buttons and impossible to read the icons without my reading glasses on .","label":0,"idx":289}
+{"text":"its size makes holding it steady for long a bit of a challenge ( not enough camera body to grip with more than your finger tips ) .","label":0,"idx":290}
+{"text":"2 ) the delay from the time you fully depress the shutter to the time the picture is taken is too long and may yield some fuzzy shots .","label":0,"idx":291}
+{"text":"this is due to the unusually slow autofocus system .","label":0,"idx":292}
+{"text":"3 ) the lack of an intermediate resolution setting , as other reviewers have suggested , is a problem , but that problem is meaningless with a larger compactflash memory card","label":0,"idx":293}
+{"text":"4 ) the camera gets really hot when you are busy snapping away .","label":0,"idx":294}
+{"text":"it is hot enough to be annoying .","label":0,"idx":295}
+{"text":"i left the camera in my car in maine ( not a very hot place ) and the lcd screen cracked ! .","label":0,"idx":296}
+{"text":"i then realized a major design flaw .","label":0,"idx":297}

+{"text":"the viewfinder does not accurately represent the picture being taken .","label":0,"idx":300}
+{"text":"the digital zoom is crap .","label":0,"idx":301}
+{"text":"the pictures are a little dark sometimes .","label":0,"idx":302}
+{"text":"the movie mode can only record a max of 30 seconds at 160x120 per clip and a max of 4 seconds at 640x480 .","label":0,"idx":303}
+{"text":"the price is $ . . . more .","label":0,"idx":304}
+{"text":"i originally gave this camera 5 stars . when i had windows 98 it was wonderful but i got a new computer last november with xp the usb software is soho . . . not compatible with xp","label":0,"idx":305}
+{"text":"the new drivers on cannon 's site do not help at all but try them if you want they have made me have to use the backup software .","label":0,"idx":306}
+{"text":"the adobe software also was wonderful in 98 but it will not let you print correctly with xp so you are forced to create your document then either print it from windows or export it to another application .","label":0,"idx":307}
+{"text":"the only thing i don 't like about it is that you have to buy a larger memory card , first thing ! .","label":0,"idx":308}
+{"text":"my only complaint and the reason i gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that the on-camera controls aren 't as intuitive as they should be .","label":0,"idx":309}
+{"text":"i 've often struggled to get something to work the way i want it , and hate to have to carry the manual with me all the time ! .","label":0,"idx":310}
+{"text":"all that said , i am a little disappointed with the quality of the pictures from the camera .","label":0,"idx":311}
+{"text":"when taking pictures of people , however , it shows every flaw in the subject 's skin .","label":0,"idx":312}
+{"text":"other cameras taking pics of the same subjects turn out looking much better .","label":0,"idx":313}
+{"text":"i will also say that it takes a very long moment for the camera to do its digital image processing between the time you press the button and when the camera actually takes the picture .","label":0,"idx":314}
+{"text":"i 'd give it 5 stars if the automatic modes were better and if there were true manual focus and exposure modes .","label":0,"idx":315}
+{"text":"for example , in auto mode you can 't use the flash redeye reduction , you must be in manual mode for that .","label":0,"idx":316}

+{"text":"the screen may be a little smaller , but it is very readable and does n 't come in the overused blue .","label":0,"idx":327}
+{"text":"it does n 't have firewire , not a real complaint since most windows users do n 't generally have firewire cards themselves .","label":0,"idx":328}
+{"text":"the only complaint i have is that when you push in the scroll wheel to select , you have to push straight in or it sticks .","label":0,"idx":329}
+{"text":"the only downside i see is that it does n 't look like you can manage playlists from the nomad , it has to be done from the computer .","label":0,"idx":330}

+{"text":"the other pail i used started to smell after 2 weeks of use .","label":0,"idx":631}
+{"text":"we found that when you put a dirty diaper into the top loader , there was a tendency to get streaks which would then get on the plunger which would then have to get cleaned each time it was used .","label":0,"idx":632}
+{"text":"we resorted to using small plastic bags to store the dirty diapers and dumping them in a trash can and using the diaper champ for wet diapers only .","label":0,"idx":633}

+{"text":"the adjustment knob seemed ok , but when lowering the router , i have to practically pull it down while turning the knob .","label":0,"idx":663}
+{"text":"the collet for the 1\/4 inch bits is a pain to get in and even harder to get out .","label":0,"idx":664}
+{"text":"then the most disappointing was trying to use viper raised panel bits that just barely fit , and i mean just barely .","label":0,"idx":665}
+{"text":"however , it is much bigger , bulkier , and heavier than my other router and i would not like to use it freehand ( i keep it mounted in a table ) .","label":0,"idx":666}

+{"text":"i built my own router table with a tilt up top & made a hand crank to replace the height adjustment knob & these two things make it easy to change out & raise or lower the bits .","label":0,"idx":670}
+{"text":"it 's not the heaviest around ( i think porter-cable has that distinction ) , but i found its combination of weight and power really too much to allow precise handheld operation .","label":0,"idx":671}

+{"text":"not so nice things : - a bit too much weight and power for easy handheld use - spindle lock makes for awkward bit changing ( outside of a table ) - the 1\/4 \" chuck sleeve requires much tightening to keep bits from slipping","label":0,"idx":673}
+{"text":"the only complaint i have is that the 1\/4 \" collet will not sufficiently hold any of my 1\/4 \" bits .","label":0,"idx":674}
+{"text":"the hitachi collet simply was not ground accurately .","label":0,"idx":675}

+{"text":"the only not-so-positive comment i have is about the depth adjustment , it is not easy to micro-adjust accurately .","label":0,"idx":705}
+{"text":"the major reasons i didn 't give it a five are : one , i didn 't think the fine adjustment worked well .","label":0,"idx":706}
+{"text":"i replaced it with a router raiser and it works much better .","label":0,"idx":707}
+{"text":"two , the single wrench just doesn 't work well .","label":0,"idx":708}
+{"text":"the sliding latch is does not stay in place .","label":0,"idx":709}

+{"text":"recently the variable speed control went out .","label":0,"idx":714}
+{"text":"it would work fine for a while then as the motor warmed up it would die .","label":0,"idx":715}

+{"text":"they last about 1 1\/2 years until the problems start .","label":0,"idx":718}

+{"text":"while transferring songs to the player , the interface has crashed a few times ( 4-5 times in a 4-5 hour period ) normally this would cause me major concern , but it appears that this bug is reproducible , which leads me to believe that creative will fix it with a patched version shortly ( or maybe it 's just my computer ) .","label":0,"idx":863}

+{"text":"it seems like you need to park yourself right next to a radio tower for the micro to pull in a strong sound .","label":0,"idx":904}
+{"text":"the battery , as others have said , also seems weaker than creative suggests .","label":0,"idx":905}

+{"text":"i did not want to have high expectations for this apex player because of the price but it is definitely working out much better than what i would expect from an expensive high-end player .","label":1,"idx":1055}
+{"text":"and the slim form-factor together with the mirror-like front panel sure makes the player look cool and pricey ! .","label":1,"idx":1056}

+{"text":"but for what i do use it is perfect .","label":1,"idx":1109}
+{"text":"owner 's manual has substandard troubleshooting guide .","label":1,"idx":1110}

+{"text":"the picture is perfect , although i 'm not watching on an hdtv .","label":1,"idx":1113}
+{"text":"but , dollar for dollar , this dvd player is probably the best out there .","label":1,"idx":1114}
+{"text":"the player does seem to play dvds adequately enough .","label":1,"idx":1115}
+{"text":"there were a few attractive features , such as the small size and the layout of the remote .","label":1,"idx":1116}

+{"text":"still , i was willing to overlook those things as this unit looks sleek and has a myriad of features ! .","label":1,"idx":1119}

+{"text":"it did play a dvd-r which was unplayable in my older philips machine .","label":1,"idx":1132}

+{"text":"either way , can 't go wrong with this price .","label":1,"idx":1145}
+{"text":"i am really impressed by this dvd player .","label":1,"idx":1146}
+{"text":"for instance , i made several back-ups of my dvd movies using dvd-r ( w ) and + r ( w ) and it plays the dvds .","label":1,"idx":1147}
+{"text":"no matter the format .","label":1,"idx":1148}
+{"text":"i recently purchased the canon powershot g3 and am extremely satisfied with the purchase .","label":1,"idx":1149}
+{"text":"the camera is very easy to use , in fact on a recent trip this past week i was asked to take a picture of a vacationing elderly group .","label":1,"idx":1150}
+{"text":"they fired away and the picture turned out quite nicely . ( as all of my pictures have thus far ) .","label":1,"idx":1151}
+{"text":"a few of my work constituents owned the g2 and highly recommended the canon for picture quality .","label":1,"idx":1152}
+{"text":"i 'm easily enlarging pictures to 8 1\/2 x 11 with no vi sable loss in picture quality and not even using the best possible setting as yet ( super fine ) .","label":1,"idx":1153}
+{"text":"bottom line , well made camera , easy to use , very flexible and powerful features to include the ability to use external flash and lense \/ filters choices .","label":1,"idx":1154}
+{"text":"i 'd highly recommend this camera for anyone who is looking for excellent quality pictures and a combination of ease of use and the flexibility to get advanced with many options to adjust if you like .","label":1,"idx":1155}
+{"text":"this is my first digital camera , and what a ' toy ' it is ! .","label":1,"idx":1156}
+{"text":"just a little overview , powershot g3 is the flagship of canon 's powershot series and its an slr-like camera , its 4 megapixel and ( almost ) full manual control gives the pictures a touch of brilliance .","label":1,"idx":1157}
+{"text":"whether you are a novice or an expert , its ease of use and functionality goes together .","label":1,"idx":1158}
+{"text":"overall i 'm happy with my toy .","label":1,"idx":1159}
+{"text":"in a word , \" awesome \" is how i would describe this camera .","label":1,"idx":1160}
+{"text":"i wo n 't go into the details here , as the online sites ( steve's digicams , previews ) go into great depth in their reviews , but i am very pleased with the features , the speed , the picture quality , the flexibility , the automation , and the functional conveniences this camera offers .","label":1,"idx":1161}
+{"text":"with the automatic settings , i really have n 't taken a bad picture yet .","label":1,"idx":1162}
+{"text":"i am absolutely in awe of this camera , canon put enormous quality into the g3 .","label":1,"idx":1163}

+{"text":"i have taken hundreds of photos with it and i continue to be amazed by their quality .","label":1,"idx":1165}
+{"text":"the g3 is loaded with many useful features , and unlike many smaller digital cameras , it is easy to hold steady when using slower shutter speeds .","label":1,"idx":1166}
+{"text":"despite this minor disappointment , i highly recommend the canon g3 anyone who is serious about digital photography .","label":1,"idx":1167}
+{"text":"i have only had this camera for one full day and i have to say that it is wonderful .","label":1,"idx":1168}
+{"text":"the photo quality is amazing and i know i 'm going to have fun with all the features .","label":1,"idx":1169}
+{"text":"1 ) slr like programming and exposure control gives you latitude to be creative , yet its program and auto exposure settings provide excellent photos if you do n 't want to bother with the settings .","label":1,"idx":1170}
+{"text":"excellent range of metering options as well .","label":1,"idx":1171}
+{"text":"it 's great to switch to spot metering and actually see it working on the lcd screen .","label":1,"idx":1172}
+{"text":"2 ) 4mp is about right for the target market of this camera ( semi-serious amateur photographer )","label":1,"idx":1173}
+{"text":"3 ) 4x zoom is nice","label":1,"idx":1174}
+{"text":"5 ) its focusing system is also very flexible .","label":1,"idx":1175}
+{"text":"you can move the focus range to almost anywhere in the scene with the push of a button , and it has an on-screen manual focus mode that would be really helpful if shooting a scene that is tough to automatically focus .","label":1,"idx":1176}
+{"text":"the camera has a wonderful set of features .","label":1,"idx":1177}
+{"text":"the lcd screen pulls out and rotates in any direction for easy pictures .","label":1,"idx":1178}
+{"text":"the optical zoom works great and the 14x digital zoom is a very nice addition although pictures at the highest digital zoom are a little blurry .","label":1,"idx":1179}
+{"text":"the highest optical zoom pictures are perfect .","label":1,"idx":1180}
+{"text":"i have not yet seen any of the usual problems with digital pictures ( purple fringing , etc ) so i am very pleased .","label":1,"idx":1181}
+{"text":"the canon computer software used to download , sort , upload and manage your digital pictures on the computer is very nice and very easy to use .","label":1,"idx":1182}
+{"text":"the menus are easy to navigate and the buttons are easy to use .","label":1,"idx":1183}
+{"text":"it is a fantastic camera and well worth the price .","label":1,"idx":1184}

+{"text":"those used to 35mm cameras will find the g3 very comfortable and friendly to use .","label":1,"idx":1189}
+{"text":"the extended zoom range and faster lense put it at the top of it 's class .","label":1,"idx":1190}
+{"text":"i recommend unreservedly the powershot g3 to any potential buyer looking for a first-class digital camera at a reasonable price - there is no better camera out there - period ! .","label":1,"idx":1191}
+{"text":"it gives great pictures , the controls are easy to use , the battery lasts forever on one single charge , the software is very user-friendly and it is beautiful in it chrome casing .","label":1,"idx":1192}
+{"text":"i began taking pics as soon as i got this camera and am amazed at the quality of photos i have took simply by using the auto mode .","label":1,"idx":1193}
+{"text":"this camera has canon 's great calorimetry , plus what you see in the lcd is what you get .","label":1,"idx":1194}
+{"text":"the prints are beautiful ! .","label":1,"idx":1195}
+{"text":"although canon 's batteries are proprietary , they last a really long time , recharge fairly quickly in the camera , plus if you want ' more power ' , you can even find a knockoff charger and spare batteries right here on amazon .","label":1,"idx":1196}
+{"text":"this is a great camera for you ! .","label":1,"idx":1197}
+{"text":"the canon g3 gives tons of control for photo buffs but still has an \" auto \" mode that makes it very easy for the novice to use .","label":1,"idx":1198}
+{"text":"i love having the option to manually control the f-stop , shutter speed and even focus .","label":1,"idx":1199}
+{"text":"i was able to take great photos of the 4th of july fire works , and got some amazing shots of the kids playing with sparklers .","label":1,"idx":1200}
+{"text":"but if you 've used a slr 35mm camera , the controls are very intuitive ! .","label":1,"idx":1201}
+{"text":"with a quick spin of the dial you can select shutter priority ( for high speed subjects ) , aperture priority ( for focal length ) or full program mode where the camera selects both for ideal photo quality .","label":1,"idx":1202}
+{"text":"the manual mode is easy to use with fast access for the selection of shutter speed and aperture without having to fumble through menu options .","label":1,"idx":1203}
+{"text":"this camera also has a great feel and weight to it .","label":1,"idx":1204}
+{"text":"you feel like you are holding something of substance , not some cheap plastic toy .","label":1,"idx":1205}
+{"text":"the more i work with it , the more i love it ! .","label":1,"idx":1206}
+{"text":"i did n 't think i would find this quality and ease of use for under $ 1500 - i 'm thrilled with my purchase ! .","label":1,"idx":1207}
+{"text":"this is my first digital camera , and i am very pleased with it .","label":1,"idx":1208}
+{"text":"seriously , this thing has everything that a pro or expert amateur could want .","label":1,"idx":1209}
+{"text":"but at the same time , it takes wonderful pictures very easily in \" auto \" mode , so that even an average joe like me can use it ! .","label":1,"idx":1210}
+{"text":"four megapixels is great .","label":1,"idx":1211}
+{"text":"it is a very amazing product .","label":1,"idx":1212}
+{"text":"i highly recommend it .","label":1,"idx":1213}
+{"text":"just received this camera two days ago and already love the features it has .","label":1,"idx":1214}
+{"text":"takes excellent photos .","label":1,"idx":1215}
+{"text":"night mode is clear as day .","label":1,"idx":1216}
+{"text":"i have not played with all the features yet , but the camera is easy to use once you get used to it .","label":1,"idx":1217}
+{"text":"overall it is the best camera on the market .","label":1,"idx":1218}
+{"text":"a ) the picture quality ( color and sharpness of focusing ) are so great , it completely eliminated my doubt about digital imaging -- - how could one eat rice one grain at a time : - ) )","label":1,"idx":1219}
+{"text":"i love this camera .","label":1,"idx":1220}
+{"text":"took hundreds of pictures and they were great .","label":1,"idx":1221}
+{"text":"great colors , pictures and white balance .","label":1,"idx":1222}
+{"text":"has 4x optical zoom which is higher than any other in the same price range .","label":1,"idx":1223}
+{"text":"when i took outdoor photos with plenty of light and the objects were n 't moving , the photos were awesome .","label":1,"idx":1224}
+{"text":"the camera was a marvel .","label":1,"idx":1225}
+{"text":"it is versatile and seems to be one of the best .","label":1,"idx":1226}
+{"text":"i chose the g3 because of its reputation for very high quality , clean images .","label":1,"idx":1227}
+{"text":"what makes the focus-lock lag time something i can live with is the extreme depth of field obtainable with these point and shoot digicams at f8 .","label":1,"idx":1228}
+{"text":"fortunately , the g3 has a hot shoe that can take an external flash , and fortunately for me , i already owned a one of the highest quality external flashes that money can buy : the met 60 ct-4 .","label":1,"idx":1229}
+{"text":"contrary to what ive read elsewhere , the g3 does sync at 1\/250 of a second with third-party flashes , just as it does with the dedicated flashes from canon .","label":1,"idx":1230}
+{"text":"what this plug-in reveals is the truly stunning quality of the raw g3 hardware .","label":1,"idx":1231}
+{"text":"without any tweaking at all , if the exposure is accurate , the colors are as realistic as ive ever seen produced by film , and this is a raw image ! .","label":1,"idx":1232}
+{"text":"but at least you re starting with the most photo realistic images ive ever seen from a camera .","label":1,"idx":1233}
+{"text":"i am stunned and amazed at the quality of the raw images i am getting from this g3 ( in conjunction with my professional flash system ) , and can easily put up with the cameras limitations , because ive never seen anything better within its resolution limits .","label":1,"idx":1234}
+{"text":"i 've had this for 3 months now , and i am pleased with my decision .","label":1,"idx":1235}

+{"text":"i did not conduct a rigorous test , but just took some identical shots in identical lighting with both cameras , and the canon won hands down .","label":1,"idx":1341}
+{"text":"sharper pictures .","label":1,"idx":1342}
+{"text":"the canon is very small , definitely pocket size , but still easy to hold firmly .","label":1,"idx":1343}
+{"text":"it powers up quickly , so you won 't miss that quick shot .","label":1,"idx":1344}
+{"text":"good image quality .","label":1,"idx":1345}
+{"text":"all i have to say is that the pics i get with my sd500 are both rich and color and high in detail , the user interface is awesome , the battery charger is tiny and super light and sd cards are relatively cheap and getting cheaper all the time .","label":1,"idx":1346}
+{"text":"camera is a paper weight .","label":1,"idx":1347}
+{"text":"i have been very impressed with my purchase of the sd500 i bought it at the beginning of the month as the ultimate pocket camera and have shot 300 images so far with it .","label":1,"idx":1348}

+{"text":"powerup is quick , and you can even set your favorite image to display for a second or so as it turns on .","label":1,"idx":1350}
+{"text":"i have especially enjoyed the 640x480 mode , while not a replacement for a dedicated video camera , its quality easily surpasses that of my old hi-8 camera and is perfect for quick clips of things that still images just dont describe ( max 8 mins at 640 30fps on a one gig card ) .","label":1,"idx":1351}
+{"text":"audio is mono and fairly acceptable , quiet also with little distortions .","label":1,"idx":1352}

+{"text":"great video clip quality for a digital camera - so much better than my old one ( canon a60 ( ? . ) . . . the 2 . 0 megapixel one ) .","label":1,"idx":1363}
+{"text":"i connected my camera to the tv and played some video clips and for a digital camera to take such good quality clips , i give it 5\/5 stars = ) oh and btw , while you take video clips , you can zoom it too ! . ( digital zoom only though ) . . . but still . . . ( my old one can 't do that . . . you have to zoom it first if you want then take the video clip . )","label":1,"idx":1364}
+{"text":"photo stitch ( merge pictures to create a panoramic one . . even my old one can do this and it 's really cool to have it now still )","label":1,"idx":1365}

+{"text":"it 's such a great camera ! . i think it really was worth the investment = )","label":1,"idx":1369}
+{"text":"if you haven 't noticed , they designed it so that you can also take vertical pictures when you do the self-timer .","label":1,"idx":1370}
+{"text":"they made the other end of the camera flat so you can put the camera upright on a flat surface if you don 't like to take the usual horizontal pictures using the self-timer .","label":1,"idx":1371}
+{"text":"i bought this camera two days ago , and i 'm very pleased to say that it has been worth the money .","label":1,"idx":1372}

+{"text":"i take a lot of pictures and this camera is my first choice .","label":1,"idx":1378}
+{"text":"i still have my s70 because i like the wider lens sometimes , but in general , if you are looking for a small camera with the whole package , the sd500 is the only one you should buy .","label":1,"idx":1379}

+{"text":"i like to take pictures when i go out at night and perhaps some people would complain that noise levels are high at higher iso 's but i don 't really care that much , i think it gives the pictures a certain real-life quality .","label":1,"idx":1385}
+{"text":"the flash is surprisingly good and even the video quality is excellent .","label":1,"idx":1386}

+{"text":"i 've printed several photos and the prints look as good as the screen views .","label":1,"idx":1393}
+{"text":"as any digital camera owner knows is that when you go to take a picture of a moving object to expect some blurring but with some preliminary testing we had simone move there hands back and forth under the lense and another person take the picture and suprisingly a crystal clear image appeared on the decently sized screen .","label":1,"idx":1394}
+{"text":"another thing i like about this camera is the way that you can swap colors around and the impressive video quality i would advise any person in the market for a camera to pay the little extra on the hefty $500 price tag and get a quality camera .","label":1,"idx":1395}
+{"text":"moreover , apart from the plastic cable cover , the camera has a nice , solid feel about it , and it 's so tiny , i take it with me wherever i go .","label":1,"idx":1396}

+{"text":"in low light with flash i found it clear better then the sony p200 ( too much red , colours overall not as natural but fewer red-eyes ) .","label":1,"idx":1415}
+{"text":"i found best results in most situation with manual\/center auto focus , manual mode , iso 100 ( shorter aperture-time , so more often sharper images as with iso 50 ) , auto white balance ( auto white balance is better than of the other canon cameras i have and they already do very-well ) .","label":1,"idx":1416}

+{"text":"i don 't believe this camera is still available . but if you can find one , you might like to get it .","label":1,"idx":1457}

+{"text":"i discovered that the camera has a manual mode that gives you total control over exposure , white balance , flash ( red eye , person against bright background , flash on , flash off , flash automatic ) .","label":1,"idx":1467}
+{"text":"it fits in your pocket .","label":1,"idx":1468}

+{"text":"but this does work even if you turn off the lcd viewing -- great battery saver .","label":1,"idx":1479}
+{"text":"a great camera , but here are some points which i don 't notice in most of the reviews here , which may be of concern especially to the more advanced amatuer :","label":1,"idx":1480}
+{"text":"i purchased the elph s100 mainly because i thought it was cool .","label":1,"idx":1481}
+{"text":"the camera does a great job with exposure and prints made with my professional printer looks great ( not as good as prints from my pro digital camera , but still very good ) .","label":1,"idx":1482}
+{"text":"but i was ready to upgrade and when i discovered that canon was going to come out with an even smaller digital camera with a higher resolution , i had to have the s100 .","label":1,"idx":1483}
+{"text":"this is my second digital camera , but i 'm much more impressed with the canon s100 digital elph than i ever was with my kodak dc240 .","label":1,"idx":1484}
+{"text":"this camera is so light and tiny that i literally carry it everywhere with me , which is great considering i 'm an artist and like to capture interesting items for future painting .","label":1,"idx":1485}
+{"text":"the software that comes with the digital elph is very nice and intuitive .","label":1,"idx":1486}
+{"text":"the photostitch software is very cool if you want to do any 360 degree panorama shots .","label":1,"idx":1487}
+{"text":"other than that , i love this camera .","label":1,"idx":1488}
+{"text":"the pictures are uniformly excellent and color rendering is perfect .","label":1,"idx":1489}
+{"text":"the good : small size ; . durable-seeming metal case ; . easy to use ; . visually distinctive ; . good picture quality ; . fast usb connection ; . mostly intuitive operation ; . really cool photostitch software that knits pictures together to give wide panoramas .","label":1,"idx":1490}
+{"text":"if compact size is your highest priority in a 2-megapixel camera , the canon powershot s100 digital elph is a standout choice and aptly named for its diminutive design .","label":1,"idx":1491}
+{"text":"the s100 's image quality rates in the middle of its class , but it can still be a reasonable choice for students , families , or small businesses looking for an ultra-portable camera that weighs less than half a pound with media and battery pack .","label":1,"idx":1492}
+{"text":"i purchased this camera before it went on sale , and while i wouldn 't have minded keeping the extra $$$ , it was definitely worth it .","label":1,"idx":1493}
+{"text":"i have been absolutely , completely satisfied with the product and its capabilities .","label":1,"idx":1494}

+{"text":"second , it is incredibly easy to use .","label":1,"idx":1504}
+{"text":"i just went on a quick photo shoot in nyc 's central park today , and what a bunch of beautiful photos i took , if i do say so myself ( and i do ! . )","label":1,"idx":1505}
+{"text":"the camera is as easy to use as a point and shoot , and with instant review on the lcd screen , you can retake any flubbed shots on the spot .","label":1,"idx":1506}
+{"text":"the two-times optical zoom operates smoothly and quietly , and lo and behold , a two-piece shutter-like cap automatically slides closed over the lens when you turn the camera off .","label":1,"idx":1507}

+{"text":"really like it , easy to use , great images , very intuitive , fits in my jacket pocket .","label":1,"idx":1511}
+{"text":"i was looking for a compact , rugged ( i carry it hiking , skiing , boating , etc ) camera which is easy to use .","label":1,"idx":1512}
+{"text":"i wanted standard memory expansion ( cf cards ) , macro mode , and if possible , a waterproof housing ( for kayaking ) .","label":1,"idx":1513}
+{"text":"even with the waterproof housing it is small .","label":1,"idx":1514}
+{"text":"the lens retracts and has its own metal cover so you don 't need to fuss with a lens cap .","label":1,"idx":1515}
+{"text":"the metal housing seems very rugged .","label":1,"idx":1516}
+{"text":"the macro mode works well , although it takes some practice since the camera doesn 't clearly indicate when it can 't focus .","label":1,"idx":1517}
+{"text":"the white-led backlit lcd is very bright and crisp , even in sunlight , and relatively easy on the battery .","label":1,"idx":1518}
+{"text":"the panorama modes are wonderful .","label":1,"idx":1519}
+{"text":"it 's so small and light , even with a spare battery , you really can take it anywhere .","label":1,"idx":1520}
+{"text":"in auto mode anyone can use it as a point and shoot camera .","label":1,"idx":1521}
+{"text":"the manual modes give you a lot of control over exposure and white balance ( but there is no manual focus or manual exposure ) .","label":1,"idx":1522}
+{"text":"there are better cameras but none anywhere near as light and compact .","label":1,"idx":1523}
+{"text":"1- small .","label":1,"idx":1524}
+{"text":"very small .","label":1,"idx":1525}
+{"text":"i 've had a lot of cameras , but this one is actually being used , and not stored in a desk : it 's all ways in my shiest pocket .","label":1,"idx":1526}
+{"text":"2- excellent picture quality and so simple to use ! . ! . ! .","label":1,"idx":1527}

+{"text":"6- small but very clear tft screen .","label":1,"idx":1531}
+{"text":"don 't care about sunlight : it 's tft .","label":1,"idx":1532}
+{"text":"7- 360 panoramic pictures are a very big deal .","label":1,"idx":1533}
+{"text":"i researched and researched between getting the canon s20 or the canon s100 , and of course i got the latter ! .","label":1,"idx":1534}
+{"text":"i was looking for something that wasn 't too complicated to use and to help the pics i post on ebay show more detail .","label":1,"idx":1535}
+{"text":"this camera is great , wonderfully small , and has attractive hi-tech casing .","label":1,"idx":1536}
+{"text":"very easy to use for someone like me who 's just hopping on the digital camera bandwagon .","label":1,"idx":1537}
+{"text":"the controls are easy to understand and big enough that they are easy to see and use .","label":1,"idx":1538}
+{"text":"the optical and digital zooms combine to give an effective 4x zoom .","label":1,"idx":1539}
+{"text":"this is enough capacity and capability to do a complete household inventory , for example .","label":1,"idx":1540}
+{"text":"so , why the small digital elph , rather than one of the other cameras with better resolution or picture quality ? . size[+2]","label":1,"idx":1541}
+{"text":"after getting one for christmas from amazon , i 'm now a believer : the digital elph is truly the world 's smallest digital camera that shoots great pictures .","label":1,"idx":1542}
+{"text":"i 've had this camera just over 2 years and it takes pretty good pictures .","label":1,"idx":1543}
+{"text":"the size is tiny , which i love .","label":1,"idx":1544}
+{"text":"this camera is so easy to use ! .","label":1,"idx":1545}
+{"text":"all the features are incredibly intuitive , even for a novice like me .","label":1,"idx":1546}
+{"text":"the pictures are beautiful , and the camera is so small you can carry it anywhere .","label":1,"idx":1547}
+{"text":"i , as many others , have waited for many years for the convergence of price , features , size and ease of use to hit that happy center point .","label":1,"idx":1548}
+{"text":"i bought this little guy a few weeks back , and i have to say that i never had so much fun with a new toy as this .","label":1,"idx":1549}
+{"text":"you indefinitely appreciate the small size .","label":1,"idx":1550}
+{"text":"while , there are flaws with the machine , the xtra gets five stars because of its affordability .","label":1,"idx":1551}
+{"text":"it is the most bang-for-the-buck out there .","label":1,"idx":1552}
+{"text":"like it 's predecessor , the quickly revised nx , this player boasts a decent size and weight , a relatively-intuitive navigational system that categorizes based on id3 tags , and excellent sound ( widely known to be better than ipod - not surprising considering the number of years creative has been in the audio peripheral business ) .","label":1,"idx":1553}
+{"text":"the xtra improves upon the zen nx with a larger , now-blue backlit screen , which is infinitely better .","label":1,"idx":1554}
+{"text":"i chose this one because from what i read , it was the best deal for the money .","label":1,"idx":1555}
+{"text":"another reason i got it is because you can put wma files on it .","label":1,"idx":1556}
+{"text":"the software is great .","label":1,"idx":1557}
+{"text":"transfering is easy , the software makes everything pretty easy .","label":1,"idx":1558}
+{"text":"even the battery life is great - it advertises 14 hours , it 's actually a little less but still good .","label":1,"idx":1559}
+{"text":"they player 's interface itself is also very easy to use .","label":1,"idx":1560}
+{"text":"get it , it 's woth every penny ! . ! .","label":1,"idx":1561}
+{"text":"i 've had it for a week now , do n 't regret the purchase one bit , and i never leave home without it .","label":1,"idx":1562}
+{"text":"software is easy to use ( although red hat software is better , but costs money )","label":1,"idx":1563}
+{"text":"much cheaper than i-pod good looking player ( beautiful blue back-lit screen ) if you 've read about the player , some have complained about the lack of a viewing hole for the face when the case is on , but this is good because the face does n 't get damaged \/ scratched fast transfer rate","label":1,"idx":1564}
+{"text":"the zen xtra sounds great with good headphone and well re cored mp3s .","label":1,"idx":1565}
+{"text":"at 8 ounces it is pretty light but not as light as the ipod .","label":1,"idx":1566}
+{"text":"the battery is replaceable ( a real plus ) and there is a leather case ( another real plus ) .","label":1,"idx":1567}
+{"text":"so far the software for the pc works easily .","label":1,"idx":1568}
+{"text":"by the way , it looks nice also .","label":1,"idx":1569}
+{"text":"it 's worth it .","label":1,"idx":1570}
+{"text":"my two main requirements were longer battery life and lower price : i found both .","label":1,"idx":1571}
+{"text":"the controls are on the side instead of on the front , which i like , because that 's where my thumb is when i hold the thing ! .","label":1,"idx":1572}
+{"text":"the scroll wheel is a big improvement over the ipod touchpad .","label":1,"idx":1573}
+{"text":"the included leather pouch is a big plus : it actually protects the unit well , something a lot of ' carrying cases ' fail to do with other audio devices .","label":1,"idx":1574}
+{"text":"other plusses : changeable battery , loads of presets for environments , decent construction , still quite small and light despite being slightly bigger than an ipod .","label":1,"idx":1575}
+{"text":"overall : small , sounds great , and less expensive than apple 's overpriced ipod ! .","label":1,"idx":1576}
+{"text":"( batteries last longer too ! . )","label":1,"idx":1577}
+{"text":"the creative labs zen xtra has all the features the i-pod has and if you get if from amazon your only going to pay $ 300 for this great player .","label":1,"idx":1578}
+{"text":"i 've had it for about 2 weeks and it 's the best player i 've seen , and used , ever .","label":1,"idx":1579}
+{"text":"the music is easy to get to ( all of the menus are easy to understand despite what alot of i-pod owners say ) and if you know how to search for an artist by name online , then you can do the same with the zen .","label":1,"idx":1580}
+{"text":"the screen is very easy to read and the blue light is bright enough to read at night , but dim enough so it does n 't blind you when you stare too long .","label":1,"idx":1581}
+{"text":"all in all this a great player that blows the i-pod away , with easy to use and understand features , software that is simple to understand and use , and a great sound ( which is all that matters in a mp3 player ) .","label":1,"idx":1582}
+{"text":"it 's a very intuitive program .","label":1,"idx":1583}
+{"text":"i had no problems following their installation instructions .","label":1,"idx":1584}
+{"text":"the menus are very easy to navigate .","label":1,"idx":1585}
+{"text":"the other controls are all very easy to use .","label":1,"idx":1586}
+{"text":"it has several play options , one of the best is an option to shuffle , based on all or a certain playlist .","label":1,"idx":1587}
+{"text":"it also costs a lot less than the ipod .","label":1,"idx":1588}
+{"text":"the earbuds that come with it are n 't that bad .","label":1,"idx":1589}
+{"text":"they 're pretty comfortable , stay in place and deliver a decent audio quality .","label":1,"idx":1590}
+{"text":"this is a good deal for music and data storage .","label":1,"idx":1591}
+{"text":"on the positive side , the sound of the player is pretty good , once you have everything configured .","label":1,"idx":1592}
+{"text":"i have n 't had time to really push this player to the limit , but audio aspects on the nomad are satisfactory , as should be expected from creative labs .","label":1,"idx":1593}
+{"text":"when it came down to it , the price on this player is hard to beat .","label":1,"idx":1594}
+{"text":"other than that this thing is great . . .","label":1,"idx":1595}
+{"text":"zennx 's replaceable battery was the deciding factor in my purchase of zennx over ipod .","label":1,"idx":1596}
+{"text":"the zennx will keep running for the price of a replacement battery , just like any other battery-powered appliance .","label":1,"idx":1597}
+{"text":"i love my new nomad , its great ! .","label":1,"idx":1598}
+{"text":"for some this might be a problem , but for the price of a 30 gig ipod , you can get a 60gb nomad , the ipod simply pales in comparison .","label":1,"idx":1599}
+{"text":"the software is very easy to use , and within 30 minutes of opening my box , i was out and about listening to any one of my 80 cds .","label":1,"idx":1600}
+{"text":"the free ( i didnt know they still did that ) carrying case is really protective , and to me its the only accessory you need ( except good headphones ) .","label":1,"idx":1601}
+{"text":"but if you want a great deal and a great mp3 player , get the nomad .","label":1,"idx":1602}
+{"text":"best electronic i 've bought since i was born .","label":1,"idx":1603}
+{"text":"so easy to set up , had some problems with my archos .","label":1,"idx":1604}
+{"text":"just easily drag and drop files into the nomad explorer and from there you easily alter id tags and sort your music according to your liking , by artist , song title , genre , etc .","label":1,"idx":1605}
+{"text":"not only is it functional and runs super smooth & fast , but it is also eye candy .","label":1,"idx":1606}
+{"text":"very sleek & stylish as well as the screen options and visuals it has .","label":1,"idx":1607}
+{"text":"the leather case it comes with is pretty nice , similar to a pda style case and does hold and protect it perfectly .","label":1,"idx":1608}
+{"text":"all the buttons & necessary lil ' gadgets are on the sides of the player which is nice for when you are holding it in the palm of your hand .","label":1,"idx":1609}
+{"text":"the sound quality is also nice . . . after i hooked up my sony headphones instead of those factory earbuds it comes with .","label":1,"idx":1610}
+{"text":"lots of sound options , has an equalizer almost like winamp with the options .","label":1,"idx":1611}
+{"text":"navigation is so smooth and finding files is a cinch .","label":1,"idx":1612}
+{"text":"also navigating while playing music is a plus unlike my previous player .","label":1,"idx":1613}
+{"text":"oh , and the screen saver feature is pretty sweet ^ _ ^","label":1,"idx":1614}
+{"text":"another plus in my book , no file limits ! .","label":1,"idx":1615}
+{"text":"i have over 2000 files in my playlist at the moment and the random does a nice job mixing it up .","label":1,"idx":1616}
+{"text":"i am quite happy having over 10 gigs of music stored on this baby as well as a few gigs of media files in the data folder .","label":1,"idx":1617}
+{"text":"i really have no complaints over this unit .","label":1,"idx":1618}
+{"text":"i really do recommend this to anyone in need of a new player .","label":1,"idx":1619}
+{"text":"i have no complaints with this mp3 player .","label":1,"idx":1620}
+{"text":"getting files onto it is quick and painless .","label":1,"idx":1621}
+{"text":"then sorting the files is easy as pie .","label":1,"idx":1622}
+{"text":"and it holds so much music and audio files .","label":1,"idx":1623}
+{"text":"my music demands are pretty intense and this handles those demands without problems .","label":1,"idx":1624}
+{"text":"the battery is nice .","label":1,"idx":1625}
+{"text":"the lcd screen was very large and readable .","label":1,"idx":1626}
+{"text":"compared to everything else in this category , this is most definately the best bang for the buck .","label":1,"idx":1627}
+{"text":"i gave the zen 5 stars because it 's excellent for the class that it is in and it 's not really appropriate to rate it based on players in a different class .","label":1,"idx":1628}
+{"text":"sound quality was the same between the two , but the zen did have more sound adjustments with the normal eax features .","label":1,"idx":1629}
+{"text":"i love this player .","label":1,"idx":1630}
+{"text":"i love this player and would probably go with creative labs again .","label":1,"idx":1631}
+{"text":"the software was great , as long as you have an administrative user account ( windows xp ) .","label":1,"idx":1632}
+{"text":"anyway , this player is a great deal and i really love it .","label":1,"idx":1633}
+{"text":"way less expensive than the ipod .","label":1,"idx":1634}
+{"text":"i find it pretty easy to use . . . and unlike the remote interface for the audigy 2 nx ( on the pc ) . . .","label":1,"idx":1635}
+{"text":"not counting the time i spent editing the songs ( i suppose i should 've done it anyway on my pc ) the transfer was pretty painless .","label":1,"idx":1636}
+{"text":"bought the 30gb xtra a couple of weeks ago , and so far it has been excellent .","label":1,"idx":1637}
+{"text":"i still have over 19gb left , and already have over 200 cd 's on it .","label":1,"idx":1638}
+{"text":"both are very easy to learn & use , and intuitive enough for even a novice .","label":1,"idx":1639}
+{"text":"ripping & transferring tunes is basic , and pretty fast ( even on a 1 . 1 usb ) .","label":1,"idx":1640}
+{"text":"people also have complained about the case not having a window , but that 's not really a big deal to me either -- the case is sturdy and offers very good protection .","label":1,"idx":1641}
+{"text":"it 's easy enough to pop it open to see what song you 're listening to .","label":1,"idx":1642}
+{"text":"the sound quality is excellent ( and i 'm fussy with that stuff ) , the unit looks cool , screen is bright and easy to read , and the replaceable battery means a major advantage over the ipod ( besides the price , but everyone knows that ) .","label":1,"idx":1643}
+{"text":"you of course have some good customization options with the unit as well ( sound presets , navigating options , playlists , etc ) .","label":1,"idx":1644}
+{"text":"all other buttons are pretty sensitive to touch and work well .","label":1,"idx":1645}
+{"text":"but i 've already emailed creative tech support about it , and gotten timely responses - they will fix it for me if necessary . . .","label":1,"idx":1646}
+{"text":"it still fits in the palm of your hand , and it 's not heavy .","label":1,"idx":1647}
+{"text":"bottom line . . . great product , unbeatable price .","label":1,"idx":1648}
+{"text":"i just received my 40gb zen xtra yesterday and i 'm extremely pleased with it .","label":1,"idx":1649}

+{"text":"the storage capacity is great .","label":1,"idx":1692}
+{"text":"the price compared to the ipod is great .","label":1,"idx":1693}
+{"text":"price , along with the replaceable battery ( which i understand apple charges a small fortune to replace - as well as the hassle of returning it ) were the two main factors on why i picked the nomad .","label":1,"idx":1694}
+{"text":"i 've had no problems with the software .","label":1,"idx":1695}
+{"text":"i found it intuitive to use ( i did n 't read any documentation for it and was using it successfully within a few minutes ) .","label":1,"idx":1696}
+{"text":"this is a nice feature ( i . e . it 's early in the morning and you rather listen to \" easy listening \" rather than \" heavy metal \" - no problem .","label":1,"idx":1697}
+{"text":"the software comes with plenty of defaults genres .","label":1,"idx":1698}
+{"text":"the sound from the player is ok .","label":1,"idx":1699}
+{"text":"this thing is great , i like to use it to pick up tough stains on my counter top and also to listen to my old 8-track records .","label":1,"idx":1700}

+{"text":"for the price and features it is really good .","label":1,"idx":1702}
+{"text":"the 30gb zen xtra rocks my socks , spills my beer , but does n 't wash my car .","label":1,"idx":1703}

+{"text":"i just purchased this player and i have to say that i love it .","label":1,"idx":1705}
+{"text":"the sound is excellent , the battery life is excellent , the fact that the battery is replacable is excellent , and finally the price , $ 200 cheaper than the 40gb ipod , is excellent .","label":1,"idx":1706}
+{"text":"the nomad is not ugly , it is not that big , it comfortably fits in my pocket , or heavy , and the controls are not hard to get used to .","label":1,"idx":1707}

+{"text":"- the unit is easy to use and intuitive .","label":1,"idx":1718}
+{"text":"- uploading music is quick and easy .","label":1,"idx":1719}

+{"text":"- the unit itself its well structured , with just the buttons you need and none you do n 't .","label":1,"idx":1721}
+{"text":"as often mentioned , the scroll tab is average , however , not difficult to use or horrible .","label":1,"idx":1722}
+{"text":"the screen is large , defined , and easy to read , and the silver unit is naturally cool .","label":1,"idx":1723}
+{"text":"there are lots of interesting features included such as eax , and customization .","label":1,"idx":1724}
+{"text":"- the replacable battery is great since once it eventually wears out ( as all lithium batteries do ) , you will be able to buy another easily .","label":1,"idx":1725}
+{"text":"also , the nomad 's 14 hours of battery life versus 8 is handy .","label":1,"idx":1726}
+{"text":"- equipment included is average , but that is n 't a big deal since thats not what you are buying it for .","label":1,"idx":1727}

+{"text":"i have the software working fine now and the mp3 player is fantastic .","label":1,"idx":1731}
+{"text":"so once i worked out the problem with the software this mp3 player is worth the money it cost .","label":1,"idx":1732}
+{"text":"i 'm very pleased with my zx so here 's a quick review .","label":1,"idx":1733}
+{"text":"it is small overall , bigger than the ipod , but keep in mind that this is because different , less expensive but not necessarily inferior technology is used in the zx .","label":1,"idx":1734}
+{"text":"the zx boasts superior sound quality than the ipod , however it compromises a bit of the unit 's size in doing so .","label":1,"idx":1735}
+{"text":"the lcd is larger than the previous model , the nx , and has a bright blue backlight which illuminates the screen more successfully than the nx 's green backlight did .","label":1,"idx":1736}
+{"text":"the scroll wheel is easy to use and works great for me , however many have complained that the wheel is cumbersome and difficult to operate .","label":1,"idx":1737}
+{"text":"the sound is excellent as one would suspect from a creative product .","label":1,"idx":1738}
+{"text":"the included eax support is useful at times , especially when you listen to a variety of genres , as it will adjust the equalizer for you which can be a big hassle .","label":1,"idx":1739}
+{"text":"the signal to noise ratio ( the ratio of detectable , useful data to unusable garbage in , say , a radio wave ; . a larger stn ratio is better ) is nice and high at 98 decibels , and it should be noted that apple refuses to release the stn ratio of any of the ipods .","label":1,"idx":1740}
+{"text":"the software has n 't been a hassle for me at all .","label":1,"idx":1741}
+{"text":"lastly , the price is fantastic :","label":1,"idx":1742}
+{"text":"i uploaded the drivers and new software in 15 minutes - no crashes or problems .","label":1,"idx":1743}
+{"text":"usb 2 . 0 - very fast","label":1,"idx":1744}
+{"text":"but the sound is very good ( and loud ) and works well on my portable speakers .","label":1,"idx":1745}
+{"text":"and for those that are int rested the recharger works anywhere in the world ( and is quite small ) .","label":1,"idx":1746}
+{"text":"it looks very cool , and seems quite small to me and very light .","label":1,"idx":1747}
+{"text":"the scroll button seems ok , i have no problems with it .","label":1,"idx":1748}
+{"text":"i am very pleased so far .","label":1,"idx":1749}
+{"text":"very simple to use .","label":1,"idx":1750}
+{"text":"all in all suprisingly easy to use .","label":1,"idx":1751}
+{"text":"lots of flaws , but exceptional sound quality , hd size , and price make it a good buy .","label":1,"idx":1752}
+{"text":"excellent sound - i found the music reproduced faithfully through the jukebox .","label":1,"idx":1753}
+{"text":"transfer through windows explorer - windows recognizes the jukebox as an additional hard disk , so it allows you to simply drag and drop files from windows explorer to a folder for the nomad .","label":1,"idx":1754}
+{"text":"i found it very useful for transferring large files to another computer .","label":1,"idx":1755}
+{"text":"huge storage space - even at 320kbs , you can store a ton of songs on this thing .","label":1,"idx":1756}
+{"text":"having usb 2 . 0 makes for very fast transfers .","label":1,"idx":1757}
+{"text":"i use it for ripping cds , which it does a pretty good job of .","label":1,"idx":1758}
+{"text":"overall , i feel that it 's a decent buy , and am happy that i own it .","label":1,"idx":1759}
+{"text":"for the price and size and features , you can 't beat the price .","label":1,"idx":1760}
+{"text":"the buttons and interface are very easy to use .","label":1,"idx":1761}
+{"text":"simple click buttons , back buttons volume and display are very easy to read , access and use .","label":1,"idx":1762}
+{"text":"with this mp3 player you get much more memory for much less than an ipod .","label":1,"idx":1763}
+{"text":"i have found that the interface on the nomad is very easy to use if you have a basic knowledge of a computer .","label":1,"idx":1764}
+{"text":"i have had no problem what-so-ever with this product .","label":1,"idx":1765}
+{"text":"the software installed flawlessly and without any problems on my windows 2k machine .","label":1,"idx":1766}
+{"text":"the battery life seems good , takes very little time to charge , it uploads mp3s quickly and there is no delay between songs .","label":1,"idx":1767}
+{"text":"took me a few tries to get use to the navigation , but it 's a very user friendly player imo .","label":1,"idx":1768}
+{"text":"i have n 't messed with the firmware at all , the player worked perfect for me right out of the box .","label":1,"idx":1769}
+{"text":"all-in-all , this is another excellent creative product .","label":1,"idx":1770}
+{"text":"it 's small , light and nice looking and the display is decent as well .","label":1,"idx":1771}
+{"text":"i would recommend this product to anyone .","label":1,"idx":1772}
+{"text":"before asking for the zen xtra specifically for christmas i researched many different mp3 players but finally decided on this one , and now that i have it i could n 't be happier and i 'm convinced it 's the best one out there .","label":1,"idx":1773}
+{"text":"many people have written about the software being its one downfall , personally i have n 't had a single problem with the software , i 'm running windows me .","label":1,"idx":1774}
+{"text":"the cd ripping to mp3 is so easy , and you can even rip the cd directly to the mp3 player , so it wo n 't take up space on your pc hard drive .","label":1,"idx":1775}
+{"text":"the software runs smooth , it 's nice to look at , it 's very organized , easy to follow and makes things very simple .","label":1,"idx":1776}
+{"text":"the controls on the player are very simple , no need for a manual .","label":1,"idx":1777}
+{"text":"the player is fast and sounds great , it also has many options like slowing or speeding up the music , or making it sound like you 're hearing the music in a huge auditorium .","label":1,"idx":1778}
+{"text":"the battery lasts very long when playing music , but writing files to the player drains the battery fast , so you need to have it plugged into an outlet when sending files .","label":1,"idx":1779}
+{"text":"playlists can be made on the fly , without aid of a computer , and you can use play modes like shuffle and repeat for your ' now playing ' selections or playlists .","label":1,"idx":1780}
+{"text":"the software could n 't be better and the mp3 player works like a dream , i could n 't give this anything but a 5 , i wish there was a 6 .","label":1,"idx":1781}
+{"text":"it is an extremely cool cozmo .","label":1,"idx":1782}
+{"text":"well i have to say that this product is very good i mean it might be a little big but it still fits in your pocket .","label":1,"idx":1783}
+{"text":"well surely this is a product that i recommend someone in getting rather than any other mp3 player ( at that size and the price ) .","label":1,"idx":1784}
+{"text":"not only is it more affordable , but its a better player for windows , which is what i have .","label":1,"idx":1785}
+{"text":"it hasn't gone below the second notch ( i charge mine whenever i 'm at home and not using it ) , so the battery life seems fine ( so far ) .","label":1,"idx":1786}
+{"text":"oh . . . and file transfers are fast & easy .","label":1,"idx":1787}
+{"text":"it 's easy .","label":1,"idx":1788}
+{"text":"the buttons are easy to use , and its easy to navigate .","label":1,"idx":1789}
+{"text":"the big backlight makes things easy to see , and the writing is big enough for people to see .","label":1,"idx":1790}
+{"text":"my favorite thing about the nomad is the eax feature .","label":1,"idx":1791}
+{"text":"its really cool .","label":1,"idx":1792}
+{"text":"sound quality is amazing . i was expecting worse , but its really good ( especially if your files have good sound quality ) .","label":1,"idx":1793}
+{"text":"you can also slow a song down & speed it up , which is cool too .","label":1,"idx":1794}
+{"text":"also , you can store data on it , which is a plus . for all you people who want to buy an ipod just to say you have an ipod , do n 't bother , this is a much better buy .","label":1,"idx":1795}
+{"text":"first i 'll start off by saying that this players hardware is pretty good . . .","label":1,"idx":1796}
+{"text":"while the ease of use was very impressive , i was put off by the price -- about $ 130 more than what i paid amazon for this player .","label":1,"idx":1797}
+{"text":"i have had the nomad jukebox for about three weeks now , and i am very happy with it .","label":1,"idx":1798}
+{"text":"the storage capacity is great for me --","label":1,"idx":1799}
+{"text":"the bottom line for me is that i am very happy with this product .","label":1,"idx":1800}
+{"text":"a lot of people complain about the creative software , but i actually find creative mediasource organizer to have some strengths over itunes .","label":1,"idx":1801}
+{"text":"first , the zen lets you sync to more than one computer .","label":1,"idx":1802}
+{"text":"the zen is an outstanding way to shuttle music between sources , you can 't do this on the ipod ( except for a cumbersome work-around using the ipod as a hard drive instead of a player ) .","label":1,"idx":1803}
+{"text":"second , the \" automatic \" sync on creative lets you review the songs before it begins its transfer .","label":1,"idx":1804}
+{"text":"the zen serves as a back-up device as well as a player .","label":1,"idx":1805}
+{"text":"third , creative software allows you to keep two windows open to look at both the content on the player and the computer .","label":1,"idx":1806}
+{"text":"for those of us that like to tinker , i think creative offers some advantages .","label":1,"idx":1807}
+{"text":"zen allows you to scroll up and down the song list selected on the player .","label":1,"idx":1808}
+{"text":"it also lets you remove songs from the play order .","label":1,"idx":1809}
+{"text":"if you bring up an album , but absolutely hate some of the tracks , the zen will allow you to delete that from the playing order .","label":1,"idx":1810}
+{"text":"its ability to serve as a back-up for my music collection is a huge plus .","label":1,"idx":1811}
+{"text":"i got this thing for christmas and i have been very happy with it ever since .","label":1,"idx":1812}
+{"text":"the software is quick & easy to use & i found the entire process very easily mastered .","label":1,"idx":1813}
+{"text":"the unit works great with my cassette adapter for my car & is also easily worked without taking your eyes off the road ! .","label":1,"idx":1814}
+{"text":"overall it is a great unit & hopefully creative labs or some other vendor will soon come out with some accessories for it .","label":1,"idx":1815}
+{"text":"this did n 't bother me too much because it 's still a decent size .","label":1,"idx":1816}
+{"text":"it comes with a good case that fits it snugly .","label":1,"idx":1817}
+{"text":"extremely convenient .","label":1,"idx":1818}
+{"text":"great price .","label":1,"idx":1819}
+{"text":"i thought the software was decent enough - it was n 't complicated to learn at all .","label":1,"idx":1820}
+{"text":"i 'm really happy with this purchase .","label":1,"idx":1821}
+{"text":"now he res the stuff you should know starting with the good things : the screen is really big and the blue light in the back is perfect , fast as hell in music transfer , controls are easy to use after mastering the scroll button , great sound and ive heard many mp3 players , a ton of different equalizer type deals on here .","label":1,"idx":1822}
+{"text":"but it comes with a tank of a case and if you cut a piece out where the screen is you can always keep it in the case and still access everything .","label":1,"idx":1823}
+{"text":"ive seen em all , the archos , dell , ipods , everything . . . good price and great sound makes this one the best in my opinion .","label":1,"idx":1824}
+{"text":"* price and capacity","label":1,"idx":1825}
+{"text":"* slick-looking design and improved interface","label":1,"idx":1826}
+{"text":"* removable battery","label":1,"idx":1827}
+{"text":"despite its being slightly larger than the ipod , i must say i was surprised to see how small it was when i unwrapped the box ! .","label":1,"idx":1828}
+{"text":"i am ripping my cd collection into 160 kbps wma files ; . this gives an average of around 60-65 mb per cd , good for about 900 cds in the ~ 57 , 000 mb of free memory available to me .","label":1,"idx":1829}
+{"text":"file transfers are fast , nearly a song per second via usb 2 . 0 .","label":1,"idx":1830}
+{"text":"to my ears , a 160 kbps wma file sounds just as good as the source cd , and the zen xtra sounds just as good as a portable cd player .","label":1,"idx":1831}
+{"text":"the eax features are pretty cool , as well , as creative has included a number of eq adjustments that , for example , compensate for the extraneous noise encountered in a car or on a train .","label":1,"idx":1832}
+{"text":"at the end of the day , what i wanted was a large-capacity player which allows me to easily play any album from my collection wherever i go , and the zen xtra 's combination of price , capacity and features easily meets those criteria .","label":1,"idx":1833}
+{"text":"i got this for christmas , and it is a great gift .","label":1,"idx":1834}
+{"text":"i have been ripping songs into it for the past few weeks , and the ease of use is wonderful .","label":1,"idx":1835}
+{"text":"the memory will hold an amazing amount of songs , my entire collection of cd 's will all fit on this great little tiny piece of digital fun .","label":1,"idx":1836}
+{"text":"plusses are the easy to remove battery and the terrific sound produced by the nomad .","label":1,"idx":1837}
+{"text":"ripping the songs , even with my 1 . 1 usb connection is still very quick , and the quality is very good .","label":1,"idx":1838}
+{"text":"considering the price and specs , this might be the best buy out there for a large memory mp3 player .","label":1,"idx":1839}
+{"text":"it 's really a shame , because otherwise , creative mp3 players are very good , and have the best sound quality of any players on the market .","label":1,"idx":1840}
+{"text":"after some consideration i chose the 40gb nomad zen xtra from creative , and i have not been disappointed .","label":1,"idx":1841}
+{"text":"first , the battery is replacable by the user , because creative intended it to be - unlike apple with the ipod .","label":1,"idx":1842}
+{"text":"it was easy enough to remove the front plate , and there was only one way the battery could be inserted .","label":1,"idx":1843}
+{"text":"the new organizer software that ships with the nomad zen xtra could n 't be easier to use .","label":1,"idx":1844}
+{"text":"you can create playlists , drag & drop songs and playlists to your player , and rip directly from cd to your player .","label":1,"idx":1845}
+{"text":"and with usb 2 . 0 , transferring music to your player is incredibly easy .","label":1,"idx":1846}
+{"text":"the sound is great , and the volume is more than satisfactory for commutes and shutting out external noise .","label":1,"idx":1847}
+{"text":"i thought i 'd have to buy a set of headphones to use with it , but the included earbuds work quite well .","label":1,"idx":1848}
+{"text":"they could be more comfortable , but no complaints in the sound department .","label":1,"idx":1849}
+{"text":"i 've played around with the equalizer settings and am satisfied at the range of choices i have there too .","label":1,"idx":1850}
+{"text":"1 . i achieved my basic objective ; . my entire cd collection is on a portable device with lots of room to store more .","label":1,"idx":1851}
+{"text":"the zen has minimal stoppage between tracks ; . when listening to music that continues from one track to the next the gap is just a hesitation - a slightly audible click ; . if i am not listening for the progress from one track to the next i do n 't even notice the click .","label":1,"idx":1852}
+{"text":"m3u files are used by most mp3 players like musicmatch and winamp , but not creative - without notmad you need to manually recreate your playlists ) ; . it does n 't care what software you use to rip or catalog your music - creative or any other company - all my 12 . 5 gb of music were transferred to the zen with correct tags - hooray ! .","label":1,"idx":1853}
+{"text":"given that i already have the zen the only reason i am happy with it is because of the notmad software .","label":1,"idx":1854}
+{"text":"now that i own it , however , i can 't imagine being without it ! .","label":1,"idx":1855}
+{"text":"i have stored around 60 cd 's ( at 160kbps ) on this and have barely touched the available memory .","label":1,"idx":1856}
+{"text":"the sound quality is fantastic ( cd quality ) and it is really great to carry this around instead of stacks of cd 's or tapes ! .","label":1,"idx":1857}
+{"text":"it is exceedingly simple to navigate around in this device .","label":1,"idx":1858}
+{"text":"i did n 't read a thing about how to operate it -- it was just intuitive .","label":1,"idx":1859}

+{"text":"value : comparing data storage with price .","label":1,"idx":1915}
+{"text":"the appearance is okay ed ( at least not ugly ) .","label":1,"idx":1916}
+{"text":"the size is small ( just a little bit bigger than an i-pod . )","label":1,"idx":1917}
+{"text":"easy to use : a lot of reviews has mentioned about this","label":1,"idx":1918}
+{"text":"the display is awesome , you can see everything you want and read it clearly","label":1,"idx":1919}
+{"text":"huge storage space , i loaded my entire collection of music , which isnt that much , 400 songs , and still have 26 gb , out of the 28 provided to you .","label":1,"idx":1920}
+{"text":"the sound is awesome , but if u put it too loud , depends on your sound quality , the sound might crack .","label":1,"idx":1921}
+{"text":"with eax on , you can modify your sound , with 4 different presets , which is pretty good , you can get different variations with it .","label":1,"idx":1922}
+{"text":"if you use software correctly , put in all the id3 tags , you will get an awesome database collection , from which you can easily access your songs .","label":1,"idx":1923}
+{"text":"i dont know what other people are saying , but the software is awesome .","label":1,"idx":1924}
+{"text":"battery recharge , is an awesome thing , because it recharges in only like 2-3 hours .","label":1,"idx":1925}

+{"text":"accessing files by artist and album ( i mostly look things up by artist ) is easy and intuitive .","label":1,"idx":1937}
+{"text":"possibly the biggest advantage this player has ( if price was n 't enough ) is the fact that the user can replace the battery him \/ herself by opening the lid and popping in the new battery .","label":1,"idx":1938}
+{"text":"since batteries do run out on everything , this will also be a big money-saver since ipods , rivers , rca , dell , all have built-in batteries that need to be replaced by a technician ( apple charges 100 bones for the battery replacement ) .","label":1,"idx":1939}
+{"text":"try before you buy if at all possible : although i am a mac addict now for over a decade and everyone i know has previously bought an ipod , the nomad zen xtra was a far better value and is just as easy to use with regards to both hardware and software interface .","label":1,"idx":1940}
+{"text":"i like the nomad 's color better , but it 's not terribly flashy .","label":1,"idx":1941}
+{"text":"i have had mine for a month now and have to say i have enjoyed it .","label":1,"idx":1942}
+{"text":"price ! .","label":1,"idx":1943}

+{"text":"i also liked the fact that you can save custom playlist you made on the player not just the computer ! .","label":1,"idx":1946}
+{"text":"have had the player since xmas's and love it ! .","label":1,"idx":1947}
+{"text":"great sound , very long battery life ( i routinely play it for 12 + hours ) , very fast recharges rate , removable battery , storage size , nice screen , firmware updates , and great price .","label":1,"idx":1948}
+{"text":"this is an excellent player , especially for the price , with features that are comparable to and even excel the ipod .","label":1,"idx":1949}
+{"text":"for a price that 's still less than even the lowest level ipod i was able to get this 40gb monster , and the best part is it works as great as it was advertised to and then some .","label":1,"idx":1950}
+{"text":"the system is terrific in size and design , imo looking better than the ipods .","label":1,"idx":1951}
+{"text":"it 's very solidly built , and has a nice dense feel to it .","label":1,"idx":1952}
+{"text":"i find all of the controls well-placed and not flimsy in the least .","label":1,"idx":1953}
+{"text":"the scroll wheel is better than the ipod 's as well , in that you do n 't risk giving yourself a cramp running your thumb around in circles endlessly - just a small nudge of the finger and you 're there .","label":1,"idx":1954}
+{"text":"the screen 's large and easily read .","label":1,"idx":1955}
+{"text":"sound : exceptional , though i can 't really compare it to the ipod .","label":1,"idx":1956}
+{"text":"interface - practically seamless .","label":1,"idx":1957}
+{"text":"yet after ensuring that all the id3 tags are in order ( with the software which is actually not as bad as people make it out ) it actually turns out to be really handy .","label":1,"idx":1958}
+{"text":"playlists can be generated on the fly ( which is a bit clunky but still a really nice bonus ) or by using the software , and there are a bevy of eq options .","label":1,"idx":1959}
+{"text":"as i mentioned before , the creative mediasource software is actually really robust despite what others have said , though notmad may still work better .","label":1,"idx":1960}
+{"text":"it 's easy to transfer , preview , and organize files .","label":1,"idx":1961}
+{"text":"the in-program id3 tag editing is a strong point , as well .","label":1,"idx":1962}
+{"text":"it was no problem for me to use their software .","label":1,"idx":1963}
+{"text":"overall , i 'm giving this 5 stars as i 've seen nothing of the problems people have repeatedly cried havoc over , but as i 've only had the player for a while i leave room for doubt if the headphone jack , hissing , or scroll wheel problems show up with me too .","label":1,"idx":1964}
+{"text":"please consider this much superior piece of equipment before plopping down half a grand for an ipod .","label":1,"idx":1965}
+{"text":"honestly , i love this player .","label":1,"idx":1966}
+{"text":"because other people that complain about this player are talking bull , this player is awesome , it just breaks fast , which is horrible .","label":1,"idx":1967}
+{"text":"the sound quality is very good .","label":1,"idx":1968}
+{"text":"having access to so much music where ever you go is terrific .","label":1,"idx":1969}
+{"text":"works great , no odor , and uses regular bags .","label":1,"idx":1970}
+{"text":"so far ( 3 weeks ) , we 've had no problems with the diaper champ at all .","label":1,"idx":1971}
+{"text":"it contains the smell from our baby 's diapers and we can use just about any kind of bag inside .","label":1,"idx":1972}
+{"text":"i don 't know if we 'll run into trouble down the road with odors , but so far i have no complaints and i 'm very happy not to have to buy those refills .","label":1,"idx":1973}
+{"text":"the diaper champ is the best we found ! .","label":1,"idx":1974}
+{"text":"there are no spec ail bags to deal with or buy ! .","label":1,"idx":1975}
+{"text":"we use the cheap $1 . 99 13 gallon vanilla scented bags from the grocery store but you can use any bag you have laying around .","label":1,"idx":1976}
+{"text":"we empty ours every day and we have never had an odors from it ! .","label":1,"idx":1977}
+{"text":"it is far better than just a trash can or the diaper genie and it 's fairly inexpensive as baby products go ! .","label":1,"idx":1978}
+{"text":"i love that you don 't have to purchase expensive refills .","label":1,"idx":1979}
+{"text":"if i had to do it over again , even with the cost savings of using any type of bag , i would go w\/ the diaper genie .","label":1,"idx":1980}
+{"text":"it 's far better than all others on the market .","label":1,"idx":1981}
+{"text":"it 's easier and much more convenient to use because it doesn 't have clumsy and confusing ( not to mention expensive ) refills .","label":1,"idx":1982}
+{"text":"there is no odor and extremely easy to use .","label":1,"idx":1983}
+{"text":"1 . it uses regular garbage bags instead of brand refills .","label":1,"idx":1984}
+{"text":"3 . it never smelled - at all .","label":1,"idx":1985}
+{"text":"the container is hard to open , which is exactly what you want when your baby becomes a toddler , and you do have to flip the handle carefully ( which has saved more than a few of her toys , too . ) i don 't consider these difficulties but features for the older baby .","label":1,"idx":1986}
+{"text":"this is a must have product for all new moms ! .","label":1,"idx":1987}
+{"text":"this is easy to work and easy to dispose of the dirty diapers .","label":1,"idx":1988}
+{"text":"it is much easier to fill and unload than the diaper genie , plus , why buy refills when you can use trash bags from the dollar store ? .","label":1,"idx":1989}
+{"text":"it also holds a lot more diapers .","label":1,"idx":1990}
+{"text":"look at the size of it ! .","label":1,"idx":1991}
+{"text":"i highly recommend this ! .","label":1,"idx":1992}
+{"text":"i have to say that i am very happy with it so far .","label":1,"idx":1993}
+{"text":"i am happy with the fact that i can use any bag in there and dont ' have to pay out the nose for replacements .","label":1,"idx":1994}
+{"text":"it 's also so easy to use and holds a great deal of diapers .","label":1,"idx":1995}
+{"text":"the bags attach inside the champ easily and all one has to do is cram the diaper down and flip the handle .","label":1,"idx":1996}
+{"text":"i bought this diaper pail when my son was just a few days old and i absolutely love it ! .","label":1,"idx":1997}
+{"text":"the diaper champ couldn 't be easier to use .","label":1,"idx":1998}
+{"text":"and the biggest plus is that you don 't have to buy any expensive refills .","label":1,"idx":1999}
