    On BF LR3 was at Newegg for $100 and Amazon was the same IIRC. I bought one copy. The egg price is now back to $280 and it is $185 at Amazon. :( What is wrong with NX2? I was thinking of buying that also for the D7000. The upgrade from NX is about $80.

    Damn, I think they were talking about the 40 inch TV I want. It is better to buy online. :)

    Now there is a Black Saturday? These stupid sales are out of control. It is bad enough that the businesses make people work Thursday night and early AM on Friday. :tdown:

    LED flashlights

    I've been looking around again for the next trip. Does anyone use the 468-lumen TK21 U2? I'm thinking it is a better choice for travel than the TK35. The weight is the same as the TK11. It is only a little larger and has twice the brightness, though at a shorter run time. However, the 180...

    Half Price REVO drive

    I think that is an older one. The STR is not so fast and it uses the ~2-year-old Stoneforce controller.

    Unrepentant? They should pay people to watch all that cheesy SciFi channel stuff. Well, most of it. :D

    Televisions as monitors: What are you using, and why?

    Increased Z (height) of the larger display may cause my neck to strain; C2 is the main concern. Removing the DVD recorder on which the 32-inch display sets would mitigate the situation to some degree, but the DVD must go anyway due to the greater weight of the larger display.

    That sounds like a good system. Around here the TV is spotty on some channels after they moved the HD frequencies around. :(

    Realistically, cheap products more often fail to meet user expectations.

    It could be a long wait and then the 5D III could be a dud.

    Presumably that is the point. With all the annoying children on screen it appears to target a similar youth market. After seeing a couple of the poorly written and badly acted episodes I was rooting for the dinosaurs to eat a few more of the actors. :mrgrn:

    The D800 will be out in early 2012 as well, although availability may depend on the Thailands being restored. The IQ will beat anything that Canon could muster if it really has a Sony 36MP sensor as rumored. However, a 5D III or D800 will be far more than $2K and many people using lesser...

    No, they are one of my home glasses. The metal separated in a weird way at the corner of the frame. I had the frames 8 years and lately they were feeling soft so I went in last week for an exam, etc. The two different kinds of new glasses are not ready yet. :(

    Televisions as monitors: What are you using, and why?

    I was thinking about getting one of these 40' TVs to the replace the 32-incher in the workroom, but I would have to lose the DVD player due to space limitations and cervical concerns. If I played DVDs through the computer video card would it uprez cleanly like the upscaling DVD player or look...

    Noise-Reduction Headphones...experiences?

    I received these noise-cancelling phones recently. Based on ambient and automotive noise reduction characteristics, I think they will fine for reducing turbofan engine noise during air travel. The $49 price is reasonable, but I would not listen to them indoors in a quiet environment as there...

    TV programs you like?

    I use the DVR quite a bit, mostly for recording regularly scheduled shows in case I miss them for some reason. I only have the one DVR on the main TV in the living room though. Having a TV in one bathroom helps too.

    Yeah and they have a deal with the 24-105 too. I dumped my 5D II long ago and would not get another.
