I bought this camera on the excellent recommendations from Ken Rockwell's site, as well as the Amazon reviews. However, upon receiving it, I got the 'Lens Error, restart camera' error and the camera is not able to take pictures.

I might up the rating when I receive a new one - this one

Product Description:

Raised by merlin young Arthur draws the mystical sword of Excalibur from the stone and becomes King. He grows to manhood and with his wife Guenevere and first knight Lancelot unites the country and founds the Knights of the Round Table. But the love between Lancelot and Guenevere and the treachery of his sister Morgana and son Mordred cause King Arthur's pride to jeopardize the kingdom. An epic battle between the knights of good and evil decides the fate of CamelotRunning Time: 163 min.Format: DVD HD Genre: SCI-FI/FANTASY UPC: 085391115199 Manufacturer No: 111519
This lush retelling of the legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table is a dark and engrossing tale. Director John Boorman (Deliverance) masterfully handles the tale of the mythical sword Excalibur, and its passing from the wizard Merlin to the future king of England. Arthur pulls the famed sword from a stone and is destined to be crowned king. As the king embarks on a passionate love affair with Guenevere, an illegitimate son, and Merlin's designs on power, threaten Arthur's reign. The film is visually stunning and unflinching in its scenes of combat and black magic. Featuring an impressive supporting cast, including early work from the likes of Liam Neeson and Gabriel Byrne, Excalibur is an adaptation of the legend both faithful and bold. --Robert Lane

Near perfection
7/15/2008
All in all, and after watching several recent versions and variations on the topic of Arthurian legends, Boorman's 1981 movie remains an almost perfect combination of script, acting, photography, and music. He takes the legend simply to an epic tale. I highly recommend this over any other of its kind. About the DVD itself, the NTSC version that I own provides a standard picture format only. I recently got a PAL version that is widescreen and the difference is meaningful, particularly when it comes to scenes such as the magnificent ending of the movie.

Thank You.

Interesting but LACKS EXCITEMENT!!!!
7/15/2008
MAN! When I saw this movie I thought that it would be the serious version of Monty Python and the Search for the Holy Grail but instead this one IS THE JOKE!

I don't usually complain about low budget films, but this one is much worse than that! I mean... The acting isn't good, the picture quality is poor, the battles were BADLY choreographied, the storyline is SLOW and long, the editing is HORRIBLE (you see most of the events in far view camera), there isn't to much action and adventure (is more blah! blah!blah!), and the production is VERY FAKE!!!!

Maybe the only cool things were the blood and gore, and of course, the story. But even so, they weren't THAT good, (I prefer the cartoon movie Sword in the Stone).
There are some superb low budget fantasy films like Beastmaster, Conan, Highlander or The Road Warrior and they are very exciting, but this one REALLY SUCKS and it doesn't even reach one level of excitement!! This is even worse than Sword and the Sorcerer!

Adios.

Thank You.

Doesn't work on my dvd player
5/31/2008
Okay..I have never claimed to be the brightest star in the sky! I bought this thinking it was a regular DVD and doesn't play on my player. Would need to buy the HD format player that is not being sold now. So be aware of your purchases. This is totally my own fault but don't want others to do the same 15.00 mistake.

Thank You.

The Full Story of King Arthur!
4/28/2008
From the lust of Uther Pendragon and the sorcery of Merlin is born the legendary King Arthur, the Once and Future King. Claimed at birth by the wizard Merlin and raised as the son of good Sir Ector, Arthur grows up to be a wiser man than his father, though still greatly swayed by emotion over logic. His royal lineage is made known when he pulls the sword Excalibur from the stone as a boy, and from then on, Arthur rules Britain in glory until the schemes of his half-sister, the evil witch Morgana, bring his world down upon him, first by exposing the betrayal of his wife Guenevere and his best friend Lancelot, and again by laying with Arthur and creating the bloodthirsty Mordred. The round table, the quest for the grail, the whole story of Arthur, from conception to death, is told in stunning and beautiful detail in the fantasy epic "Excalibur".

Appropriately made in 1981, a time when fantasy films were en vogue, director John Boorman's "Excalibur" is still the best film to turn to for the story of King Arthur. Cleverly balancing fantasy elements with a very believably grounded reality, Boorman's gracefully executed theme throughout the film is of the passing away of the old ways and the coming of the new. Though at times the film seems like it may have suffered a bit from covering so much information in 2 hours and 20 minutes (it is true what some have said, that the quest for the Holy Grail does seem to come out of nowhere), it is a majestic experience from start to finish and comes off as extremely lavish, despite the "shoestring" budget the director claims it was made on. The Irish locations used are glorious, the classical music is rousing, and the cast features the likes of Helen Mirren, Nicol Williamson, Gabriel Byrne, Liam Neeson, Patrick Stewart, Nigel Terry as Arthur, and many more fine actors. The DVD is unfortunately said to be incorrectly matted, and hopefully this will be corrected in a future release. Despite that, it's a movie that everyone should have in their collection and includes the theatrical trailer (I love those early '80's theatrical trailers!), a bit of text info, and a fine commentary from the director. He's not the most thrilling commentator, takes him a bit to get started and there's a big pause after he initially does, but once he gets going he gives tons of great info on the production. It's well worth listening to! If you have any interest in Arthurian legend at all, don't let your collection be without this one!

Thank You.

Not a showcase for HD
3/8/2008
This movie is a very entertaining rendering of the classic Arthurian tale with spirited acting and lots of familar faces. I own this movie on DVD and bought it on HD DVD hoping to get a brighter and more pristine looking copy. Sadly, the visual clarity of the HD version is not much better than the standard DVD version. There are scenes in the movie that look like they were cleaned up for HD but not enough so that I can recommend the HD version of Excalibur to fans hoping to get an exceptionally beautiful copy of one of their favorite movies.

Thank You.
