Digital camera reviews of Sony SRF-M97 Radio Walkman
Digital camera Review: WOW!!!! Talk about a price increase!!!!!
Summary: 2 Stars
I am currently on my third SRF-M97. I dropped the first one more than once, and it finally gave out. The second out wasn't dropped, but it wore out (I listen to the radio at work, walking the dog, getting ready in the morning...). I'm looking to replace my present one because although it will still get FM, for some reason it won't get AM anymore (and that's what I listen to -- go Randi and Stephanie!).
But there is NO way this radio is worth the new price. It's shocking that it's suddenly 3 times the amount of my 1st and over twice the price of the one I bought last year. The construction is REALLY, REALLY cheap.
I obviously loved this radio (buying 3 of them), but it's mostly because of the size. This price is ridiculous.
Digital camera Review: Works Well
Summary: 4 Stars
Definitely a small radio with a good signal. It doesn't work well at my gym but I don't think any radio would. My only complaint is the time displays on when it is off. Seems like a waist of battery.Digital camera Review: bad reception
Summary: 3 Stars
I wanted to replace an old aiwa radio because the reception was not no good but this is almost the same, if not worse.Digital camera Review: constant hiss and mediocre reception
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased the SRF-M97 to use while running in a metropolitan area. However before I even took it outside I noticed that if has a persistent hiss on FM stations and suffered from signal dropout and interferrence. Outside it is worse, especially when it's colder. I have tried different types of batteries, headphones, local/DX settigs. The sad fact is that my old analog micro sized Radio Shack model 12-893 is far supperior to the SRF-M in terms of sound and reception.
Digital camera Review: good value
Summary: 4 Stars
Product performance is very good, does the job and sound quality is satisfying. Pretty easy to operate and I like it much better than the more expensive Sony sports walkman.
