good video, not so good audio

 

I like the usability and the video is good. My problem is the audio. If you want to shoot your kid playing soccer, this is a good camera. If you expect to shoot something where sound is important, this is not for you. In almost any setting, I get...

Nice, inexpensive headphones

 

These headphones work great as an inexpensive set that stay in my ears when I run or bike. I've also worn them skiing. I was not looking for amazing sound of quality -- I don't want to spend that much on headphones that are going to get wet with sweat,...

Junk

 

I have the red one and the touch screen is almost non functional. It supposedly has a touch adjustment but that hardly improved it at all. What's up with this? Everyone else has touch screens that work. Get with it Sony or you are history.

Two cheers....

 

I purchased a Flip Slide about a year ago but I returned it after (1) it developed a problem with its HDMI jack and (2) I learned that Cisco had dropped the product and will terminate support next year. Chose the new Bloggie Sport as the replacement...

Product Specifications

This preloaded, offshore chartplotter combines the power of networking with brilliant color and slim-line design. The GPSMAP 4208 has preloaded BlueChart g2 maps of the U.S. coast and displays them on an 8.4" VGA display with video-quality resolution. By connecting to the Garmin Marine Network, you can add sonar, radar and weather. The 4208 features highly-detailed BlueChart g2 marine cartography of the coastal United States, including Alaska, Hawaii and the Bahamas. This data provides detailed coastlines, shaded depth contours, navaids, port plans, wrecks, restricted areas and tide and current information. For other areas, the 4208 has a worldwide basemap with high-quality satellite images in place of more traditional maps. With the SD card slot, you can add additional maps without having to connect to a computer. The 4208's high-speed processor draws maps quickly, and its simple intuitive interface makes navigating easy. To keep tabs on your engine room or other area of your boat, you can also connect a live video feed with the 4208's video input and output options. The 4208 connects easily to the high-speed Garmin Marine Network, so you can interface with additional MFDs and add remote sensors. Once connected, you can share information between the 4208 and other chartplotters on your boat. You can also add high-powered radar, sonar and XM satellite weather and radio to your system. This product is bundled with GPS 17 with pole mount adapter.
