Inspired by real life events, Orange is the New Black stars Taylor Shilling as Piper Chapman, a woman in her mid-thirties who is convicted and incarcerated for a decade-old crime. The unlikely prisoner is a standout at the correctional facility and earns several enemies as a result -- as well as a unique group of friends, including her former girlfriend (Laura Prepon).

While this was not the most expensive HDMI cable, it has proven to work as needed. I wanted a quality cable, not the cheapest they had. I am not disappointed.

Sharp photos in a small package

I was looking for a camera that would easily fit in my pocket. This one is perfect. The pictures are incredibly sharp with both the wide angle and telephoto. Price was very reasonable.

Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18–300mm f/3.5–5.6G ED VR Standard Zoom Lens: Boasting the longest reach of any NIKKOR all-in-one zoom lens, this lens delivers the equivalent of 450mm focal length, enough reach to bring the most distant action up close. This single telephoto zoom lens can keep up with a wide range of shooting situations, from wide-angle groups to ultra-high-power zoom shots.

A great lens for landscapes and closeups
on May 17, 2013
Posted by: Cubfamily
from Appleton, WI
Verified Purchase:Yes
I love not having to change lenses to go from a wide angle shot to one needing a telephoto. The 18mm gives me an extremely wide angle. I use it for landscapes or for getting the "whole picture" at sporting events. The 300 mm telephoto zooms in to capture incredible details of things at a distance. I love taking pictures of birds, flowers, creatures, sporting events and grandchildren. I can stand four feet away from a flower, zoom in, and get a shot that looks like it was taken with a macro lens. The vibration reduction helps to give me a sharp picture; allowing me to take photos without the use of a tripod in many situations.
My Best Buy number: 0781675916
What's great about it: Sharp photos hand holding this 18mm wide angle to 300 mm telephoto.
What's not so great: A bit on the heavy side if carrying it all day. It is pricey.

Great Zoom. Photos are sharp. Beginner to Advanced
on November 5, 2012
Posted by: Cubfamily

Verified Purchase:Yes
I was looking for a camera that would fit in a pocket or purse that would have high quality photos. A short shutter lag was a priority. While I wish there was no lag at all, this camera is pretty fast. I have a Nikon DSLR, but it isn't always practical to take it with me for some occasions. I turn the flash off unless I really want it. The flash pops up on top, right where you hold the camera. When it is set to automatic, I constantly have my index finger in the way. I'm training myself to hold the camera in a different way, so that my finger is not on the top at all. The battery doesn't last very long. I had to change batteries after 111 photos when I had the camera set so it focuses constantly when the shutter is half way down. This setting, though, was perfect for action shots at the Packer Game. Virtually every photo was in focus even though I was sitting about 60 yards away from the action.
What's great about it: Small enough to fit in purse. Manual settings available.
What's not so great: Flash pops up right where my left index finger holds the camera.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Set up a seamless home entertainment system with this Samsung wireless rear speaker kit. Easy to incorporate with your soundbar, the units mount to your wall and connect wirelessly to eliminate unsightly tangles of wire. Low standby power consumption and a slim design make this Samsung wireless rear speaker kit an ideal solution for smaller spaces.
 

Can the volume on the Samsung SWA 8500s speakers be adjusted separately from the sound bar speakers?

I don't think so. Ours aren't very loud and would love to increase the volume, but haven't found any way to do that.

Is the 18-300 prone to "lens creep" like the 18-200?

I have not had a problem with lens creep on the 18-300. I also have a Tamaron lens, lens creep is terrible on that one. I sent it to fix it and it still does it.
