I need a cheap microphone to record my lectures at school. I am not in big classrooms so I won't need anything amazing. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks -mike

Now that I am in college, I find myself not being able to use my 225's as much because they do not isolate the rap music from my roommates. Being a rock listener, I can't exactly say I enjoy hearing this music over mine in my own headphones. I currently own a pair of Ultimate Ears Super.Fi 3...

Hey Guys, I was just informed of a new canon camera called the 50D. Canon EOS 50D: Digital Photography Review I'm currently shooting with a 40D and I was wondering if you guys think it would be worth the upgrade. (I would be keeping both bodies) I already have an ample supply of lenses...

I say got for it. My original pair had an unfortunate accident involving a puppy and I actually ended up buying another pair I enjoyed them so much.

So today my roommates and I were informed of a "cat fight" involving a group of our girl friends. A majority of us went downstairs to see what had happened. The big glistening smiles on our faces were soon turned into frowns when we have found out that they had pranked us in lying about it, just...

I was just wondering if anyone has an opinion on these headphones: Amazon.com: Panasonic RP-HTX7PP-W Retro Style Monitor Headphones (White): Electronics Would you say that for the cost they are a decent pair of headphones? My friend is considering picking them up and would like to know if...

As I am typing this, I am listening to my pair of SR60's that just don't seem to be pleasing me as far as bass and soundstage go. This realization came to me after listening to my friends SR125's. I was looking at some prices online and the trend seems to be that SR225's are only 50-100$ more...

I've done some revisions to the picture and I'm really pleased how it came out. Thanks for all the help.

Continue, we all do weird things.

I wish I was going to have an epic dorm like some of these next year.

Hey Guys, Just getitng back into macro photo and I'm looking for some criticism to help me know what to watch out for. Let me know what you think of this picture: 1/160 f/4.5 100 ISO

As far as Manual Settings goes, since my lenses do not have an aperture ring on them, would i still be able to choose custom aperture? One of my friends uses extension tubes, but he has an older lens with the aperture ring on it.

Hello, Since I can't find myself justifying spending $400+ on a macro lens lately, I need some help understanding the difference between these two extension tubes: Canon | Extension Tube EF 25 II | 9199A001 | B&H Photo Video Canon | Extension Tube EF 12 II | 9198A001 | B&H Photo Video...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone out there could give me some quotes as to how much a pocket altoid(c) box cmoy amp. A friend of mine is seriously considering having one made and I'm just helping him get a general price. If any more details are need I can provide them. Thanks, -Mike
