Logitech M100

The Logitech M100 is the most inexpensive mouse offered by Logitech. This mouse from the Swiss electronics giant is as basic as they come. It has just two buttons and a scroll wheel. This mouse uses optical tracking- eliminating the need for a trackball. My own story with the Mouse M100 began when the mouse that came with my PC finally gave up on me. I needed a new mouse, preferably one with a PS/2 connection. However, I couldn't find a good one that used a PS/2 connection. So I bought a USB mouse, and I bought the Mouse M100, shown below:


^ from: techshop.in - This is Logitech's most inexpensive mouse- the Mouse M100.

If you do not want to spend loads of money on a new mouse, the M100 may serve you VERY well. It is very inexpensive. I think I bought mine from a Wal-Mart (or Walmart) for about $12 (including tax). So if you need a USB-powered mouse and don't want to spend a lot for any other mouse, I would vastly recommend the Logitech M100. It will NOT disappoint you. The mouse works flawlessly for the most part. Moving the cursor is pretty seamless with this mouse. As long as you are not using this mouse on a sticky surface or a not very smooth surface, you should have no problem using the cursor with this mouse.

Sony MDR-V150

Allow me to take some time to recognize a pair of headphones I use and still use. The Sony MDR-V150 model headphones are headphones I have bought and used before (including right now). I've owned about two or three of these total. Should you consider getting these headphones? Allow me to fill you in with this blog post.

Notes About This Blog Post...

These headphones are now discontinued. However, this review of them still pertains to these headphones.

This review was posted initially on "John's Blog Space" back on August 8, 2011. It was last updated on April 12, 2012 from John's Blog Space. It is now its own blog post here on John's Shop Space.

--- Sony MDR-V150 ---

Before going any further, here is a picture of the headphones I will discuss in this post:


^ from: amazon.com - The Sony MDR-V150 headphones deliver studio-quality sound for much less than most other headphones.


Now back to the original question- should you (yes, you) consider getting these headphones? The answer I'd give you is... yes! Why? Among other reasons, the sound quality is superb for headphones that cost as much as they do. They cost about $25 US Dollars (give or take) at many stores. Three feet of cord allows you to listen to anything from a good distance. A shielded adapter is included for larger headphone jack ports. The ear cups are reversible, so you can listen to something from just one ear comfortably. Speaking of comfortable, they are comfortable to wear and adjust on the head and on your ears. I can't think of many reasons why you SHOULDN'T get these headphones.

What I love most is that these headphones deliver great sound quality while also being very durable. They deliver amazing sound quality for a pair of headphones that cost about $25 US Dollars or less from Wal-Mart. I've been notorious for messing up headphones back when I was going to my community college. These held their weight pretty well. In my view, why waste money on a super high-end pair of headphones when these do the job just fine for much less?

If you are looking for a pair of headphones, you can plunk down the money for a pair of flashy headphones with cool graphics or hyper-realistic sound quality. Or... you can purchase these fairly inexpensive and durable headphones that will last you at least a year or two. Trust me. Each pair of this model headphones have lasted me at least a year for the two or three I've owned. It is really worth the buy. They may not look flashy or have super impressive sound quality, but these do more than enough to hold themselves up for quite some time.





This is all just a recommendation for you music listeners out there. I hope you enjoyed my quasi-review of the Sony MDR-V150 headphones. Would you like your own pair (if my review has convinced you)? If so, you can find them at just about any electronics store, just about any electronics department of stores, and of course... Amazon. Have a look at these headphones on Amazon to learn more about their specifications and to buy them (I would appreciate your business if you buy from Amazon):

Sony Bloggie MHS-PM5

The Sony Bloggie replaced the Webbie in offering a much more complete and easy experience in making videos. Settings for video and picture sizes along with a bevy of extra options help make this camcorder one of the finest on the market. Many people have complained of many things about the camera (including its name). I don't think the name is silly at all. It isn't cute, it isn't annoying... if name means so much to you, stay away from this camcorder. Even though the Bloggie MHS-PM5 (as well as the MHS-CM5) models have been outdated by the new Sony Bloggie Touch, I still wanted the MHS-PM5. What you're about to read is my own personal review of the Bloggie MHS-PM5 along with various things you have to know about this camcorder.

NOTE 1: I wasn't requested or paid to do this review. You know I speak from the heart. The Bloggie MHS-PM5 that I bought came in White. Other available colors for the Bloggie MHS-PM5 include Blue, Eggplant, and Pink. If you order a Bloggie from Sony online, you can customize your Bloggie by having it engraved with certain designs.

NOTE 2: Most of this review was based on my review on "John's Blog Space" and edited specifically for "John's Shop Space."

--- Sony Bloggie at a Glance ---

Here is a picture of the Sony Bloggie MHS-PM5:


^ from: amazon.com - The Sony Bloggie MHS-PM5. Also available in Blue, Eggplant, and Pink.

As I mentioned earlier, the Bloggie is the replacement for the Sony Webbie HD. It was the cool camcorder before the Bloggie lineup came along. Whereas the Webbie offered up to 1440×1080 video at 30 frames per second, the Bloggie offers up to 1920×1080 video at 30 frames per second. It had capability for external media cards, but ONLY Sony's proprietary media card- the Memory Stick PRO Duo. The Bloggie allows for the Memory Stick PRO Duo along with basic Micro SD cards. That is a good thing because a Memory Stick PRO Duo can cost a bit more than a basic Micro SD card. A 16 gigabyte Micro SD card can cost up to ten US dollars less than a Memory Stick PRO Duo of the same capacity. So the Bloggie is more versatile in memory than the Webbie.

People have complained so much about the video quality of the Bloggie camcorders. Almost as if people were expecting an extremely powerful camcorder, yet get disappointed because this isn't some super-powerful camcorder. Before anyone complains, read this carefully: this camcorder is NOT for the one who wants a professional camcorder. The Bloggie is merely a point-and-shoot challenger to the Flip Video cameras (among others). Almost the proper intent of a camcorder like this is for the video blogger to make great videos. You are even able to photograph yourself by simply swiveling the swivel lens towards you. This camcorder gives you full control. If you want to make YouTube videos or if you want to shoot a quick video to share online, this camcorder will allow you to do just that. You could probably look elsewhere if you want something with better image quality (like the Kodak Zi8). But what if you don't want the Zi8 (or any other challenger)? Well, you won't be disappointed with the easy-to-use and utilize Sony Bloggie MHS-PM5.

Speaking of the models, the Sony Bloggie MHS-PM5 is the basic and completely useable camcorder. This version is easily pocketable, unlike the MHS-CM5, which is the more camcorder-like and easier to handle version of the Bloggie. Some say the MHS-CM5 is a better performer with better quality than the MHS-PM5. There are kits you can purchase for the MHS-PM5 to give the Bloggie some extra features. For one, you can purchase the MHS-PM5K. The Sony Bloggie MHS-PM5K/W features a unique 360° lens that is good for taking panorama shots. It's awkward in video, though. You'll know how awkward it can be if you look up "Bloggie MHS-PM5K" on YouTube and see how videos shot in the 360 lens look. The Sony Bloggie MHS-PM5/V features a special wide lens you can attach to the Bloggie to take wider-angle shots. I don't think it's sold in the United States, though.

To keep it simple, I will ONLY discuss the MHS-PM5 through this blog post.

--- Sony Bloggie MHS-PM5 Specifications ---

This section pertains to some of the finer points of the Sony Bloggie MHS-PM5.

Still Images.

All images are recorded in JPG format. There are five image sizes you can choose from:

• 640×480 (4:3, VGA)
• 1920×1080 (16:9, 2 megapixels)
• 2048×1536 (4:3, 3 megapixels)
• 2592×1728 (3:2, 4 megapixels)
• 2592×1944 (4:3, 5 megapixels)

With the Insignia NS-DV1080P I reviewed in the past, I noted the pictures having a very grainy appearance. With this Bloggie, the pictures appear clear, but rather soft. Color quality is wonderful without needing to fully saturate the images. Images can still sometimes be a bit blurry. Close pictures are not really recommended with this camcorder. One thing to be careful of is to make sure you press down on the camera shot thing properly. You may note some pictures may have some faded video quality as it attempts to re-adjust and recalibrate itself. Also, you may want to avoid taking dark pictures. Unlike my previous Insignia NS-DV1080P, there is no flash with the Bloggie MHS-PM5. So you are unable to take quality pictures in low-light situations. Also, you can not digitally adjust light to allow for better viewing quality in darker situations. It's perhaps best to have the beeping noises on because you can never really tell if your picture really flashed. You have to hold down the photo button for about a second or two for the picture to be taken.

With 5 megapixel (2592×1944) images, this camcorder delivers more flexibility in picture size as well as better quality images than the Insignia NS-DV1080P (which is fixed at 2592×1944 images). The color quality is better without needing to saturate the images to enhance the color quality. Pictures appear more grainy as you zoom in with the Insignia. However, the quality of images with the Bloggie MHS-PM5 is rather modest when zoomed in. The images may be a bit blurry sometimes. So rather than make images softer with the Insignia, I sometimes have to make images sharper with Bloggie MHS-PM5 images. I recommend that if you have to zoom your images, zooming to 2x is a safe zoom distance. Anything more than 2.0x will appear a bit too blurry.

Videos.

The Sony Bloggie MHS-PM5 allows for four different sizes of video. Videos are recorded in MP4 format. Audio quality is expressed in 48000 Hz with stereo sound. The microphone is fixed with mono sound (no external microphone support enabled) You can select from four video sizes:

• 640×480 at 30p
• 1280×720 at 30p
• 1280×720 at 60p
• 1940×1080 at 30p

The Bloggie MHS-PM5 has a very sensitive microphone. I once did a demo video walking around my house, and I could actually hear the steps I was taking as well as the breathing I was doing while recording.

One great thing about the Sony Bloggie is that you are able to use a monitor or TV to hook in. The Bloggie MHS-PM5 comes with a composite cable that you can use to hook into a TV. I was able to get this to work on the first try with the Bloggie, whereas I had tried and failed to hook in my Insignia NS-DV1080P to any TV. For owners of HDTV units, the Bloggie MHS-PM5 does NOT include HDMI cable support. There is not even an HDMI port for this camcorder. You can use a TV or monitor to view your pictures on your TV. All you need to do is tune your TV to its auxiliary channel (or AUX channel), hook in the Multi-AV cable to the proper slots, and just turn on the Bloggie to check out your material on any TV. It was great seeing my pictures and recordings on a TV unit. The TV or monitor serves as the screen for your Bloggie once you make the proper connections. Everything stored on your Bloggie or on some sort of external storage device is shown. You can use your Bloggie to show off videos and images stored on your Bloggie or in any external media device to be displayed on TV or on a monitor.

Why You Need External Media.

The Bloggie MHS-PM5 has 26 megabytes of memory. If you don't have an external media device, here is all you're going to get with this camcorder:

--- Still Images (without an external media device) ---
• 162 still pictures at VGA (640×480) resolution.
• 30 still pictures at 2 megapixel (1920×1080) resolution.
• 17 still pictures at 3 megapixel (2048×1536) resolution.
• 13 still pictures at 4 megapixel (2592×1728) resolution.
• 8 still pictures at 5 megapixel (2592×1944) resolution.

--- Video (without an external media device) ---
• 1 minute, 29 seconds of video at 640×480 (VGA) at 30 frames per second.
• 41 seconds of video at 1280×720 at 30 frames per second.

You somehow have to admit- these capacities not really that bad if you just want to use this to shoot some quick video or take a few pictures. If you want to make some more material or shoot better quality videos, you're better off getting an SD card or a Memory Stick PRO Duo.

What Comes With the Bloggie MHS-PM5?

The Sony Bloggie MHS-PM5 is now an older model, having been overshadowed by the new Bloggie Touch. Here is a brief feature list of the Bloggie MHS-PM5:

• 270° swivel lens
• LCD screen
• rechargeable battery included
• cable included to attach to the PC, but also includes a USB arm of its own
• multi-AV terminal cable included to connect to TV units (no HDMI cable support, however)
• zoom up to 4x (for most modes)
• support for Micro SD cards and Memory Stick Pro Duo; up to a 16GB(?) micro SD card or Memory Stick Pro Duo can be used.
• software on a CD that includes PMB software for porting over images and video.


These are all among a number of different things included.

--- Final Thoughts/Review ---

So all in all, the Bloggie (MHS-PM5) is a substantial upgrade from the Insignia NS-DV1080P. The Bloggie was everything I had hoped for, and it has even surpassed some of my own expectations. This camcorder and the NS-DV1080P are about in the same price range. When I bought my Bloggie at Target, I would recommend you also buy a warranty plan to cover it. I think I bought a 2-year warranty plan to cover it. The camcorder was about $150 USD from Target. Add on the 2-year plan, and it adds about $30 USD more to the price of the Bloggie. There is little to no doubt that the Bloggie is going to be an essential tool in making videos and taking pictures.

This is the camcorder for you if you want to take your own personal pictures and videos in point-and-shoot fashion. Its versatility and almost uncompromising usability makes it a worthy camcorder for all of your photo and video needs. It is perhaps the most versatile point-and-shoot camcorder on the market. Rather than relying solely on flash memory, you can use external media storage cards to port over your material effectively online or on your computer. You could simply shoot a quick video and then go post it online. You can even take a few quick pictures to quickly post on photo-sharing sites. The disadvantages are either minimal or moderate. If you want a more capable camcorder, get a proper camcorder. But if you want a camcorder good for point-and-shoot goodness, this is one of the best camcorders to get.

Even though the Bloggie MHS-PM5 has been recently surpassed by the new Bloggie Touch, this is still a very good and easy-to-use camcorder to use. Sony has really done a great job in providing a fun and easy-to-use point-and-shoot camcorder. The camcorder's many positives outweigh many of the negatives. For a point-and-shoot camcorder that costs about $150 US dollars, there aren't too many great point-and-shoot camcorders that is comparable for its price. There may be other camcorders that have better image and video quality, but none of them are as usable and pocketable as the Bloggie MHS-PM5. Do yourself a favor and go get this camcorder to boost your versatility in pictures and video.

--- Sony Bloggie MHS-PM5 Reactions ---

This is a notebook of ideas regarding the Bloggie. Have a look.

• You don't need to swivel the swivel lens to activate the Bloggie MHS-PM5. In fact, you don't even need to swivel the lens to turn on or off the camcorder. You can just press the On/Off button (with the lens in its off position) to turn on and off the camcorder. The Bloggie will still ask you to rotate the lens portion, but you don't have to. You can press the On/Off button and rotate the lens, and then press the On/Off button to turn off the camcorder. Just remember to put the lens back into its off position.

• For one thing, you can not attach the Bloggie to your PC while you still have an SD card included. You will need to take out your external media device and insert that device (whether an SDHC card or the Memory Stick Pro Duo) into the proper slot in your PC. If you have the PMB software installed, you will be able to use your Bloggie (with the card in the device) to upload media to your PC or to any number of online sources (like Facebook, YouTube, etc.).

• Set the memory feature to "Multi" to allow for usage of both the Flash memory on the Bloggie MHS-PM5 AND the Memory Card data.

• You can zoom up to 4x. It won't make your zoomed-in images any better, but you are able to record and take pictures from far away. It is a bit slow to zoom properly.

• The Bloggie (MHS-PM5) comes with a secondary USB cable to attach to your PC. This is great if you don't have a laptop or some easy access to the PC with a USB port. This camcorder seemed to be better served towards uploading to a laptop or netbook rather than to desktop PCs. The USB arm was my biggest concern with the Bloggie. Thankfully, having this extra cable helps greatly. You can charge the rechargeable battery by hooking it into your PC or with some sort of charger.

• You don't need much in the way of codecs as you do with the Insignia NS-DV1080P. It took a lot for me just to play back the AVI files from the Insignia.

• You can turn off the sounds of the Bloggie, but it's recommended to keep the sounds on, just to ensure that whatever is being recorded or photographed actually goes through.

• If you need to enhance your pictures, make sure to have a good program for which to edit images with. I needed to soften my images and then re-sample them with my Insignia NS-DV1080P camcorder. Don't forget that you can adjust the initial image sizes for pictures taken with the Bloggie MHS-PM5.

• You may want to purchase a tripod if you intend to do some professional-style videos from a set position.

Insignia NS-DV1080P

Before being succeeded by the NS-DV111080F, the Insignia NS-DV1080P was Insignia's top-of-the-line camcorder. It was also the first camcorder I've ever owned. This camcorder is capable of (by its name) 1080p resolution video. A trick flashlight is also offered for darker images and videos. You can slide in an Micro SD card (up to 8GB) for more storage space for your pictures and videos. As a post on John's Blog Space, my post on this camcorder has been pretty popular. Now here on John's Shop Space, I will offer my own review of this camcorder. Feel free to have a look and enjoy this blog post!

--- Insignia NS-DV1080P at a Glance ---

^ from: www.ghanaelectronics.com - Insignia's NS-DV1080P camcorder, capable of 5.1 Megapixel still pictures and 1080p video.

PLEASE NOTE: The following information comes from my post on "John's Blog Space" regarding this camcorder.

Insignia's top-of-the-line camcorder is the NS-DV1080P. As its name suggests, it is capable of video quality up to 1080p. For a budget-type camcorder, you do tend to get a lot. The camcorder has a swivel screen that rotates up to 270°. You can use the camcorder as you normally would, or you could even record yourself by pointing the camera at yourself and press Record. The camcorder features a unique light that can make it possible to do videos and pictures in low-light conditions. Still pictures can be taken with this camcorder. The pictures come out in a resolution of 2592 x 1944, good for 5.0 megapixels. The camcorder is even capable of allowing you to show your saved videos on a standard TV or (with HDMI cables) on HD television units. You can mount this camcorder on a screw-on tripod, and you can insert an SDHC card (up to 8 GB) to boost the amount of pictures and videos you can take. An 8 GB SDHC card gives you two hours of 1080p-resolution video. This camcorder is powered by a rechargeable litium ion battery.

The camcorder will activate automatically when you flip out the swivel screen. You can, however, turn on the camcorder manually using the power button after flipping out the camcorder. The camcorder will be turned off when you properly shut the swivel screen.

--- My Story With the Insignia NS-DV1080P ---

People recommended that I get a camcorder to make better-quality YouTube videos. I considered my options. The first option of mine was the Vivitar DVR 865HD. I wanted this camcorder because it had great quality while not being a truly proper camcorder. It was what I wanted to get... until I visited a Best Buy, when I saw an Insignia NS-DV720P. Before I thought about wanting to get it (because I had my mom with me), I wanted to do more research on the Insignia NS-DV1080P. As I got to do more research seeing videos on YouTube, I changed my mind from getting the Insignia NS-DV1080P. This video below was the clincher for me:



It was this video that convinced me to get this camcorder. It shown me that great-looking videos were very possible with this camcorder. A few days before my 27th birthday, I got this camcorder thanks to my mom. I somewhat conned her into getting the bundle package. The bundle package included this camcorder, a Dynex tripod, a 4 GB SDHC card from PNY, and a Lowepro carrying pouch.

I took this camcorder with me to do some videos and take some pictures. Some of my "Car Style" blog entries on John's Blog Space feature cars that I took pictures of at the show. I did about ten or so video clips averaging a total of five minutes. I was purely disappointed about the videos I did, not so much the quality. So when I was disappointed on the videos I did, I canceled my YouTube video project. Since, I've never made any real special videos with this camcorder.

--- Basic Specifications ---

Here is a look at what this camcorder is capable of.

Video Capabilities.

This camcorder is capable of five different video sizes, listed below:
• 320×200 at 30 fps - QVGA video with a 4:3 ratio at 30 fps.
• 640×480 - SD Standard with a 4:3 ratio running at 30 fps.
• 848×480 - Widescreen SD with a 16:9 Wide ratio running at 60 fps, the best FPS for this camcorder.
• 1280×720 - 720p High-Definition video with a 16:9 aspect ratio running at 30 FPS.
• 1440×1080 - 1080p High-Definition video with a 16:9 aspect ratio running at 30 fps.

The camcorder offers stabilization features when recording videos, but your options don't include stabilization at higher resolutions. One of the most disliked aspects is that this camcorder only offers a 2X zoom at the highest resolutions.

Videos can be recorded in either AVI or MOV formats. It ships in AVI format, but you can change the settings to do MOV format videos.

Picture Capabilities.

Still pictures can be taken at a fixed 2592×1944 resolution. The images appear very lovely on your camcorder. However, they appear grainy and have a lot of noise when you upload them to your computer. They still look great, just that you need to do some extra adjusting to make your pictures look their best on your PC.

--- General Overview ---

Here is a piece-by-piece look at this camcorder and its capabilities.

Pictures.

This camera takes awesome pictures. It's not a proper camera, but image quality is quite lovely. You start noticing all the grainy spots when you see the actual images, but for its quality, picture quality is quite impressive to say the least.

Videos.

I got this camcorder to test the waters of high-definition video. With limited success, I made 1080p and 720p videos. I assured my Facebook people that I would post some test videos on Facebook to see how they would look online. I did not install the MediaImpressions material or the ArcSoft material. I wanted to see how much I could do right out of the box with this camcorder.

You can record high-definition video, but don't expect high-definition quality. And forget about high-definition video if your PC can't handle HD video very well.

Device.

The biggest gripe I had about the camcorder was that I had to ram in this pathetic PNY SD card just to get it to stay in. I actually want to get rid of this PNY card and go for a much better brand- SanDisk. And I want to get an eight gigabyte Sandisk SD card. I later realized that PCs can read SD cards up to 2GB in size. You'll need an adapter if you want to hook in an SD card greater than 2GB in size (especially those SDHC cards).

Accessories.

I've been unsuccessful using the TV camera to show off what is recorded on my card or in my camera's internal memory. The Dynex Mini Tripod is rather small, only six inches tall. But it is pretty durable for what it is. The Loewpro carrying pouch nicely contains the Insignia NS-DV1080P. I've had lots of trouble trying to get my PC to load the stupid PNY SD card this bundle comes with. Even more so, I decided it's best to keep the SD card lodged into the Insignia NS-DV1080P.

--- Final Thoughts: Insignia NS-DV1080P ---

Overall, this is a great camcorder for what it is. The big reason why I still somewhat use this camcorder is because of its ability to take pictures and videos in the dark. It has a digital lighting system which brightens darker images. If you need extra light, the camcorder has a flashlight that shines light onto the target image for really dark images. Pictures will be grainy. It does have some very good battery life, so you can go for a good amount of time without having to worry too much about the lithium-ion battery going out on you.

If looking for an inexpensive camcorder that can be worked with and tolerated, look to Insignia and the NS-DV1080P. You can use a variety of programs and codecs to get images and things to work properly on your PC if you don't have the goods to edit your images and videos. The camcorder is otherwise very doable.




I recommend you visit my post on John's Blog Space to see many more things about this camcorder as well as some advice from me on using this camcorder. If you loved my review, take my advice in my much longer post on John's Blog Space:

"Insignia NS-DV1080P Review" - John's Blog Space

The NS-DV1080P is NOT offered on Amazon, but I may interest you in similar Insignia camcorders. You may shop for this camcorder by clicking on the items below to order. Thank you for supporting my work if you enjoyed this review.

• Insignia NS-DV720P (Black).
• Insignia NS-DV720P (Dark Blue).


I must apologize that the NS-DV1080P isn't offered on Amazon. However, the 720p version of this camcorder (Insignia NS-DV720P) is just as effective. You just don't get the chance to make 1080P videos with the NS-DV720P.

Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000

Logitech makes many wonderful products for many different applications. And if you are in need of a webcam, their Quickcam Pro 9000 class of webcams offer great image quality for still photos as well as high-definition video recording. I should know about the quality of this line of Logitech Webcams, as I have used the Quickcam Pro 9000 as my top-of-the-line webcam for my YouTube videos.

If you are new to John's Shop Space, I have recently decided to add product reviews as part of my range of topics just to get more people to visit John's Shop Space. Many of them are based on topics from John's Blog Space, my primary blog. I hope you enjoy this blog post. Make sure to subscribe if my work is appreciated by you.

About the Label: Product Reviews

All product reviews are done by me and are completely original. I have decided to make "John's Shop Space" more useful and to draw more readers by posting product reviews while also offering items online. Readers who enjoy my product reviews and want to buy online are free to do so. I will make sure to truthfully share thoughts and opinions on items. And thereafter, impressed readers may buy online.

Remember- I am not paid to do any reviews unless I actually was paid to do so. Even still, my opinions are absolutely real. I offer my own reviews.

--- Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000 Series: My Story ---

Before I tell you more about the Logitech 9000 series of webcams, let me share with you a story.

Here's how my YouTube career began. In September of last year days after getting power back to my house after Hurricane Ike, wireless broadband was set up in my house. With broadband, it was my chance to try to visit YouTube more often. On November 8, 2008; I joined YouTube. A week later, I made my first video. The webcam I used was a Creative Live! webcam, making 320 x 200 size videos. The quality was so-so, because I was not confident in making better-quality videos.

Then a few days before my birthday in January, with a lot of money, I was looking to make the next step by purchasing a new webcam. Until I got to become more confident making and releasing 640 x 480 videos, I stayed with 320 x 200. Afterwards, I tried mounting my webcam in a different position. I even sampled different things and different settings. I later became a bit more confident making High Quality videos without sacrificing too much space on my computer. I was able to find a setting with Windows Movie Maker which allows me to compress the raw video from a recording session I have with Logitech's webcam software, and compress the file by at least 29% of the raw video's size. For example, a 98 MB video can be compressed down to about 30-something or even 40 MB. All without sacrificing too much space on my PC. I've made as many as 20+ different videos on YouTube, maybe three or more High Quality-enabled videos on Facebook, and perhaps one on Myspace.

Now that you know my story on YouTube, let me get to the main point of this blog entry.

--- The Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 Series Review ---

The Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000 Series of camcorders look like this:


^ from: amazon.com - This is the Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000.

Basic Overview.

The Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000 series of webcams feature amazing visual quality for a webcam. Part of its amazing visual quality is because of the 9000 series of webcams to have Carl Zeiss (an industry leader for many years) optics. The webcam lineup is capable of Auto-Focus. So when objects appear close to the webcam, the camcorder will Auto-Focus to take crisp shots of whatever you put in front of it. Videos can be taken at resolutions ranging from 320×200 to 720p-style quality. Images can be taken up to about 5.1 megapixels. These webcams have an adaptable and sturdy base. The bottom portion can be adjusted any sort of way for it to rest on multiple surfaces. In addition to impressive visual quality, it also has a built-in microphone. You know when the device is active when you see an orange ring around the Logitech logo. The software for the Logitech 9000 webcam series allows you to play around with your pictures and your videos. You can distort the live image or even live video any way you like with the included software. I personally wouldn't recommend this unless you have either a good amount of RAM for your PC, or if (like me) you just don't care for the extra effects. There is also a version available for you Apple Mac users.

Final Thoughts.

I bought the Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000 and still use it as my webcam. I was even successfully able to use this webcam for my PlayStation 3. You can use this webcam for a number of different applications and services. For example, you could use this to make a quick video for YouTube or even go on Stickam with it. The only negative I would give it is that there is no protection for the lens when using the Quickcam Pro 9000. I had owned the Logitech Quickcam Communicate MP Plus, and I could simply let down the covering to protect the lens. The Pro 9000 camcorders have no such protection. So you need to make sure to protect the lens when using this webcam.

These days, the Pro 9000 has been succeeded as the top-of-the-line webcam by the Logitech HD C910 webcam line from Logitech. I have no experience with the C910, so I will not review this webcam unless I do get to experience and use it proper.


You may purchase the Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000 camcorder on Amazon. Please click on these items to buy on Amazon. Learn more about the item(s) and place an order on Amazon if my review was of help. I would greatly appreciate your business if you bought the item on Amazon after reading my review. Please help support my work any way you can. Thank you.



THIS LINE (from left to right):
• Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000 for PC.
• Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000 for Business.
• Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000 for Mac.

Even if outdated and succeeded, this is still a solid webcam from a solid company like Logitech.





If I can get to do more product reviews based on items I have actually used and/or owned, I will add more to John's Shop Space. Remember that most of my old posts from "John's Blog Space" comprise the majority of product reviews early on. Maybe if I get fortunate enough and be able to test out more items, I will make more posts on more products. At least you'll know what I think about these items here on JSS! Thank you for reading!

High-Low Skirts and Dresses

This "John's Shop Space" post is devoted to those who are interested in looking online for one of the latest skirt and dress trends- he high-low/mullet skirt and dress. The hemline up front is high, and the one in the back is low. Girly and feminine charm is guaranteed as you walk around in these lovely skirts and dresses. While there are other high-low garments and designs, the focus in this blog post is only on high-low/mullet skirts and dresses. Welcome to JSS!

NOTE: While they are sometimes called "mullet skirts" and "mullet dresses," I will refer to them mostly as high-low skirts.

--- High-Low Skirts and Dresses ---

So what kind of skirts and dresses are we looking at? Here are some pictures:


^ from: trendhungry.wordpress.com - A high-low/mullet skirt. Take note of how the skirt is high up in front but long in the back. It's one of the latest trends in skirts and dresses.


^ from: magazine.zankyou.com (best I could find) - This high-low/mullet dress demonstrates the elegant appeal a high-low/mullet skirt can provide.

The reason why they are often called "mullet" skirts/dresses goes to the deal of "business up front, party in the back." Well with high-low skirts/dresses, it's more like "hot up front, elegant in the back." These are sort of skirts and dresses for females who can't decide on wearing a short skirt or a long skirt (not necessarily maxi length). High-low dresses can be both playful and elegant at the same time. Some of these can be short skirts that have long ends; or they may even be short skirts and dresses with a somewhat longer end to them, essentially a short skirt that remains short- just with a long back to them. Some high-low/mullet skirts and dresses can be long (below the knees) and with a slightly longer back to them. No matter what, the high-low/mullet skirt or dress is designed to have a high front with a low back. These touches can be either comfortable or elegant depending on the skirt/dress and how they are styled.
