Best Point-N-Shoot On The Market Today
3 of 3 found this helpful Small, light, quiet, easy to use, hide-away flash, huge zoom, Nikon glass, and 1080p video @ 30fps. This is an incredible bargain. Professional results at hobby prices.
My complaints: Error occurs if you turn it ON before you remove the lens cap. Other than that, no hot shoe, no audio input, no 60fps p video. Not much!
Be *sure* to send in that warranty card!

Don't Waste Your Money
2 of 2 found this helpful A good idea that is poorly designed. The only way to produce the grenade-shaped ice is for the mold to be water-tight, which it is not. Avoid the frustration and just don't waste your time & money.

Looks Old-Fashioned But Isn't
3 of 3 found this helpful This mic is much better than I expected. I sing blues and a little R&B, and bought this for its looks rather than performance. I had been using the fantastic Shure SM58 prior to this purchase and loved its warmth, clarity, frequency response, and cardioid (anti-feedback) pattern. To my delight, the Super 55 (not the 55sh) uses the same R59 element and has the very same qualities.
So I got both the retro look *and* the great performance! Such a deal.
I have three very minor gripes: the grill cloth (not easily replaceable) is blue, there is no ON/OFF switch, and the cloth is not as good a pop filter as the mesh on the SM58. I purchased an XLR in-line switch, don't enunciate directly into the microphone, and have just learned to live with the blue.
It is a fantastic mic and I want to *strongly* suggest that you resist the temptation to buy a cheaper look-alike. This is an investment on which you should not skimp. Nuf' said.
