Digital camera reviews of Sony SRF-M97 Radio Walkman
Digital camera Review: Perfect size!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this item for my husband and he loves it. I was going to buy him an iPod, but he really likes sports and stated that he wanted a radio instead, so I started hunting for a small radio that he could use when he works in the yard and excercises.
His words, "It is great!"
Of course, I programmed his favorite radio stations before I gave it to him as a gift. Setting the stations to the memory is a bit tedious, but once you get the hang of it, it isn't too bad.
If you're looking for a small radio - this is perfect. I only wish they made one that is an MP3 and radio combo.
Digital camera Review: Perhaps not appropriate for this purpose
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this item specifically for use in the gym while doing lengthy step machine excercises. I wanted something to divert my attention away from the long boring workout and thus wanted to be able to tune into a talk show of some sort preferably on an AM band. Unfortunately, in the gym while on the step machine, the radio seems unable to bring in an AM station. It barely brings in a few FM stations. I have kept the item for the limited value it provides me, however, I am not satisfied with its performance in the gym environment. Perhaps with all the mechanical and electrical equipment in a gym, there is not a product appropriate for this use.Digital camera Review: Portable Sony AM/FM Radio
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a radio listener. I carry it when I walk my dogs in the morning and in the evening. This portable radio is the best so far. It has a neat digital screen that you can see even when it is dark. The reception is great for its size. If it ever breaks I will replace it with the same one. The price is not bad and I highly recommend it.Digital camera Review: Pretty slick little radio!
Summary: 5 Stars
Ever since my first transistor radio, in about 1960, I've been fascinated by them and this is easily the classiest one yet produced. That first radio was unbelievably pitiful in every way and actually cost the equivalent of much more than I paid for this one--a classic example of how the state-of-the-art is improving our quality of life. I see that most people are paying well over a hundred bucks for this radio which seems like a stretch even though it probably is the very best of it's type by a good margin. I was able to get one direct from Sony, as a refurb (looks and works just like new) for $35. and free shipping.
This is clearly an upscale product with nice chrome touches and remarkably high performance.
Digital camera Review: Right Price?
Summary: 2 Stars
I think the price of $148 is off by at least $100. I paid a little over $40 over a year ago. Now the on/off button had malfunctioned and works about once every 200 pushes. I enjoyed it while it worked, as long as I listened to AM, but it was never able to pick up FM stations.
