Review - Coby SNAPP CAM5002 HD Digital Camcorder #Travel-Friendly

There is no need for me to mention that we want to be able to record our trip to Nicaragua in December, because everyone that travels like to have digital memories. During our hunt for travel-friendly products, Coby has been a strong contender, as we previously reviewed the Coby VZon MP957 HD Media Player, which is ideal for the plane ride. Now we get to review another great Coby product I think everyone who is not too tech-savvy should have without sacrificing sleek looking device OR its ability.

I'll be recording our memories with Coby's SNAPP CAM5002 HD Digital Camcorder. Off the bat I will say this is a great digital cam for the non-tech savvy people. It is extremely easy to use. There is a switch on the top left hand corner that hides an integrated USB plug that allows you to easily plug it into your computer and upload whatever photos or videos you took. There is only 32MB of internal storage on the device, but there is a handy SD slot for an SD memory card (up to 32GB) to record much more. If you're not tech-savvy, chances are you can't get around to editing your videos, but Coby includes Muvee software which makes editing very simple, so simple my parents can actually edit videos.

On to the specifics of this device. The camera came handy with an A/V cable, USB extension cable, hand strap, CD and a handy black pouch to keep it from getting scratched up. The SNAPP CAM5002 comes with an integrated battery, so no need for AA or AAA batteries to carry around. It has a 2" color  LCD viewfinder to allow you to see what you're filming, 4x digital zoom, integrated speaker and the ability to take pictures (5MP) and record in 720p HD resolution. The battery allows you to record a little over 1-hour of video (when set to HD recording).

The SNAPP CAM5002 retails for about $99, but can be found for as low as $40 on sites like Amazon. We used a 4GB SD memory card and have comfortably recorded many things since we received the camcorder. We don't have a need to record for hours so its perfect to use on 10-30min. clips for us. I can't stress how easy it is to use. You turn it on, the menu is simple, then press the record button to capture it all. I can't lend my parents my iPhone 4 to record, but they can certainly use the SNAPP camcorder, as it is 1000x easier to get around. As for quality of videos, Its not HD channel on your TV-type quality, but the video is rich. When plugged into our HD tv it certainly shows rich colors, the zoom does not have a choppy effect on the video and the audio is very decent. The device is VERY light in your hand, so much that it feels a little unsturdy, but we have not had a problem with it. The only con I have about the device is that it does in fact feel light, as if there is a lot more empty space in there than should be. If that were the case, a slimmer casing would be ideal.

Overall, for the price, the Coby SNAPP CAM5002 HD Digital Camcorder is great! Especially for the non tech savvy people who want to capture special moment in life here or while traveling. I honestly can't wait to head to the Isletas de Granada in Nicaragua and video tape the boat ride on this device! A huge thanks to Coby for providing us with both great devices! They will be coming in handy on our trip! :)

T.G.I. Friday's Entrees for One + Fun Freezer Contest!

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of T.G.I. FRiDAY'S for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

T.G.I. Fridays is having a Fun Freezer contest  where you get to let out your creative self and decorate your freezer! Yup, dress is up, get some graffiti on there, give it a mohawk, anything you want! Just be creative, and if you need inspiration, you can follow the Fun Freezer contest link and look at some entries. Prizes are great too! TWO Grand Prize winners get a new TV and Home Theater System and an entire year's worth of the New T.G.I Friday's Entrees for One. What better way to have the man in your life watch his Football games? I'd be there watching too though!

So, the grand prize is a year's worth of T.G.I. FRiDAY’S “Entrées for One”, have you guys tried them? We got the chance to sample one of our choice, the boyfriend chose the Sizzling Steak Fajitas Entree. He likes himself some meat, so meat he got. The entree comes with seared steak, strips of bell peppers, onions, cheesy rice and 3 flour tortillas. All microwavable. The boyfriend loved it, I know so because he always licks his fingers (and the plate) when hes done. He said the steak was perfectly juicy and tender, the veggies were good with crunch and the rice wasn't too cheesy. He liked that he could roll it all up nicely on the flour tortillas. Men and meat were meant to be. T.G.I. Friday's has a lot of very tempting Entrees for One, including the Sesame Orange Chicken and Sizzling Chicken Fajitas the boyfriend was eyeing at Target.

We are big fans of T.G.I. Friday's and according to the boyfriend, the frozen Entrees for One meals were just as good as the food in their restaurant. We came up with a really fun idea for the T.G.I. Friday's Fun Freezer contest and can't wait to enter! Make sure you guys enter too, it looks like a fun contest with some GREAT prizes! :)

Review - Energizer Universal Wall & Car USB Chargers #Travel-Friendly

Continuing my journey of finding some travel-friendly products for our trip in December just gets better. There is nothing more convenient than coming across a products that you can use for traveling, and is JUST as handy at home. I found one! Energizer was kind enough to send over their Universal USB Wall Charger and Car Chargers. I have them in use now, and they will be in my bags when we leave as well.

The Energizer Universal USB Wall Charger and Universal Car Chargers are perfect for me. The majority of things I own or carry with my on a daily basis has some sort of USB cable I can charge it with, but along with each of those cables comes a bulky AC adapter. I was not looking forward to lugging all of those with me on my trip so the Energizer USB Wall Charger is a PERFECT product for me to have.

The Energizer Wall Charger I received to review was a double. The wall charger itself was a little bulky, compared to the smallest single one I have, which is for my iPhone 4. The convenience of being able to charge two of my electronics via one USB wall charger is absolutely great! It can charger USB powered devices up to 5W of power, this means most of your Cell and Smart Phones, MP3/MP4 Players, Digital Cameras, etc. The Energizer Universal USB Car Charger is just as great, but in a convenient single or double USB device you plug into your car's cigarette lighter outlet. For those of you who are international travelers, the wall charger is 100-240V, 50/60 Hz, meaning you can use it anywhere in the world, provided you have the right plugs.

They are available in single (MSPR $14.99) and doubles (MSRP $19.99), as are the Energizer USB Car Chargers. Both have a fold-out plug for easy storage and a 1-year limited warranty. They are worth the purchase, I highly recommend them if you have many electronics that require charging via USB. A big thanks to Energizer for the chance to review these great products

R.I.P. Netflix... Why Netflix Is Destined To Go DOWNHILL!

If you guys haven't heard about Netflix and their price hike recently, I'm sure you saw it on your bill and thought "...what the hell?". Their decision to hike the prices (for their mediocre service, at best) took a BIG hit on them. Their stock has fallen, they have lost many many customers, more than they even anticipated. NOW Netflix announced an "apology" stating that they are moving and rebranding their DVD-to-mail service to Qwikster "a Netflix Company". After the price hike, if you were one of the people who opted to keep both the streaming and dvd-to-mail service, you have been given no consideration whatsoever. Why? Because now YOU will have to different charges on your bill, how exiting! With that comes along different websites, different movie queues, different ratings, etc. They have changed things around, but the benefits are on their side, while the customer is left aggravated. As a customer, companies (that are around because WE pay for their service) should aim to make things easier for us, not "upgrade" to make it more difficult. That is the reason why Netflix is going downhill.

Netflix doesn't seem to care much about its customers, but they enjoy the $ that comes in. DVD rental is a service that is declining and will soon disappear. Common sense leads me to think that they renaming moving their DVD rentals to another company so that when it eventually happens in the coming years it won't be associated with "Netflix". Smart move? Perhaps. But this is one company I want to see wiped out. There are many other services around that can revive what Netflix was before AND make it much better. Where are you guys?

What do you guys think of this ridiculous rebranding? Also, do you enjoy Netflix? I unsubscribed before the price hike because I just didn't feel like watching movies older than myself and not having a good selection of recent movies released in the recent 6-months to watch. IMO, it was a mediocre service.
