just a bit over 230mph in my bugatti veyron at some nevada desert strip.

The ATH-ES7 is a marvelous can. Looks great sounds great. Jazz and R&B are especially good with that warm and rich midrange. It sounds awesome with my iPod, but I don't use them anymore and am selling them here. Shoot me a PM if interested. http://www.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=220547

This Leica D-LUX 3 is a gem. Should be perfect for you.

The D80 is worth every penny. But don't buy from Circuit City. They are rip offs there. Buy from BestBuy: more honest, less hassles when you have a problem, better service, etc. The 18-135 is very sharp and fast. Though I feel it is a bit fragile and cheap, especially the extended part. The...

The D40 would be a downgrade for you, as the Canon G6 is a pretty high end point-and-shoot model. D40 has only 3 AF areas and can't do many things a true DSLR should. The D50 is pretty decent for a beginner photographer. I used to use one before I moved on to the D80. However, DSLRs are in no...

Because the 30D came out, the 20D body is fairly cheap now. My friend got the 20D + the 17-40 f/4 for about the same price as my D80 + 18-135. It's very solid. The body and the lens are made in Japan and not in Thailand, like my Nikon. 5fps is more than enough for any beginner. If you want to...

Impressive collection of images and cameras, stuartr. I would love to try out a leica one day.

These are my pictures from my photoblog Show with either D80 or D50. D50 pictures are shot with either 28-80 or 70-300. both crappy lenses but did their jobs. The following are shot with the D80 with the 18-135. Sharp lens but feels fragile and cheap.

The A700 is the jack-of-all-trades headphone, and since he watches movies and listens to music and what not, it would be better for him. The AKG may get uncomfortable for long periods of usage. Also, the A700 is made with higher quality material, and teenagers like me like tend to be less...

i pleasure myself. i won't tell you how.

the new nikon d80 lets you crop pictures inside the camera, and has filter effects, red eye and what not. very nice camera that i would get if i have the money.

all the technical stuffs mentioned are useless unless one can compose the picture. the angle from which the picture is taken, the steadiness of the camera while the shutter is open, etc. people need to start including the feet of people when taking pictures of them. just take a step back and...

yeah sticky this. great idea to start a thread like this facelvega. i'm kinda annoyed at new members coming in and keep asking for recommendations like "closed portable under $100" when the answer is so readily available if one just use the search function. if this thread does become a sticky...

i think 800 dollars is wayyy overkill, especially for your age.

those white lines are negative signs. they indicate which wire is the negative one.

http://product.pcpop.com/000029664/Index.html click on one of the pictures to see the gallery, you'll see a pair's on display. prototype or not, you be the judge of that.

ahhh. my apologies for the overreaction. but when you described the deal initially, it sounded like a scam in everyway. sorry about that.
