Can't beat it for the price

I currently have 4 other tripods, This one was a Birthday gift from my wife, Pros: legs will open flat for low level shots, The center post can be removed and inserted upside down for overhead still life and flower shots, The legs can be adjusted separately from each other for odd setups i.e 2 legs on the ground one on a wall, It works well in the studio as a tripod or light stand. Carbon fiber is a plus, Leg warmers are a nice touch. everything I wanted in a tripod for about half the money I was expecting to spend. Carry case is well made
Cons: a little bulky for day trips in my slingshot back pack
My Best Buy number: 2596145073
I would recommend this to a friend!

Enhance the lighting on your next shoot by using this Rocketfish™ RF-NIKTTL off-camera flash shoe cord, which lets you extend an on-shoe flash away from your camera's hot shoe while maintaining your camera's TTL functioning.

Sometimes it works..Sometimes it don't

I purchased this cord as a alternate to the Nikon version hoping to save some money, most of the time it works fine, But I have noticed the slightest amount of stress at the ends where the flash or camera mount stops the flash from triggering, The same thing happens with either my SB-600 or the SB-910 Speedlight and Both the D60 or D3000 in any combination..For a cheap alternative it's a good choice just don't expect high end quality. I guess you get what you pay for.
What's great about it: Cheap
What's not so great: does not trigger the flash 100% of the time
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought the SB-700 yesterday for my D3000, I also have a D60 and a SB-600 Flash that I have had for about a year, the 600 and 700 work great together, useing the 700 as a primary light and the 600 as a fill or back light
Next is light stand and umbrella
What's great about it: Wireless Commander mode, it can control other wireless flashes
What's not so great: Havent found it yet
I would recommend this to a friend!

So far,So good

Our main fridge died of exhaustion may 25th 2011, we ended buying this fridge the same day as display model, two days later I checked out the reviews on BB website and wasn't happy with what I was reading, a short trip back to BB and we purchased the extended warranty, so far the only problem we encountered was the ice maker, it shoots the ice out hard, the ice / water dispenser leaver has to be pushed back to the second detent to disperse ice, it's a little hard to push back, if your using thin glass the glass could shatter, we just put one finger behind the glass and push it back like that, crushed ice is a different story, it makes a mess all over the floor from shooting it out so hard, and we have had one incident where the ice maker wouldn't stop after the glass was removed, we filled a 10 quart bowl with ice before it finally stopped, then had to clear the ice from the chute inside the door and the ice maker by hand (Only happened once), the led lights are nice but not placed in the best locations, other then the ice maker, So far...So good, ...what else can I say it's a fridge, you never give them a second thought until they stop working
What's great about it: Size, Price
What's not so great: Ice maker

Cheap Filter, It reflects light back onto the camera lens, the image has the light reflection from the filter, pay the extra couple bucks and get a multi-coated filter
What's great about it: Protects the lens
What's not so great: Reflects light back onto the lens
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

LF: Blu-Ray/DVD Player/Recorder/Streaming

I am looking to buy a blu-ray with streaming + DVD Player + DVD Recorder

Are there quality products available that provide all of these features?

What are they?

Can they be integrated into my A/V Home Theatre system?

Thanks!
yes, players can stream from your A/V or Home network are pricey, Basicly Speed costs money, how fast do you want to go, the more features the more the higher the price

Can I play a regular DVD on a Blu Ray Player?

BR Players are backward compatable, most will upconvert standard dvd's to simulate HD

my dvd can't read the disc but the tuner works?

Try a couple different discs, if none are readable, the DVD is probably dead, or setup for a different region

Home theater system

I recently bought a samsung led tv and got a ps3 as a gift . What system can i get that i can run the t.v sound through along with my ps 3?
almost any home theater will accept the sound input from a game console, the denon system has surround sound settings for game consoles and they can be connected via the front V.Aux jacks, thats how ours is setup, in Gaming Surround, System sounds Great, It also has HDMI in/out for the tv along with coaxial and optcal, Some in/out connections on the back can be reassigned by the user to your custom configuration, hope this helps
