stunning bargain for the price

I've sometimes indicated, in my own work, that I consider myself a non-professional in terms of photography, and it is the type of work in this book that I am comparing myself to, and consider truly professional.

I don't personally know the authors, but felt the short commentary under each image is authentically felt, at times with a touch of welcome humor.

If one also considers that the cost to the authors to deliver to the reader, is based on the digital size of their book file, and see the number size and quality of the images in this ebook, at $2.99! it is, in my admittedly limited opinion, a bargain.

It's hard for me to believe anyone would be disappointed in sampling and having this photo ebook.

When I saw the price of this hand display I wasn't expecting much as far weight and quality but boy was I mistaken. The hand is ideal for photographing jewelry which was my need. I have a few others in flesh tone - but the stark white of this piece and gloss finish really make the stones pop.

The pose is eclectic and ideal, I've shot this piece with is laying palm down, up and on it's side. It's surprisingly heavy and well made - it would be a steal at twice the price.

Quality Touches:

* Petite in size - accentuates my jewelry and not the hand form

* Seamless - many hand displays have seams which make macro photography and or close ups look cheap. Not the case here it's a true cold cast designer resin free of seams or poorly finished lines of attachment.

* Wide open fingers accommodate virtually any size ring.

* Great for Bracelets too.

Well made and versatile this is an excellent piece at a tremendous value.

Highly Recommended.

Wow, I am just blown away by these headphones!!  For ~$50 they are truly incredible.  Pairing was simple once I stopped and read the instructions.  You have to hold the power button down a fairly long time.  The blue light will come on and blink, but you have to keep holding the button until the light blinks blue and red.  Computer and iPhone both picked it up instantly once the blue/red lights were alternating.  Piece of cake.

What really impresses me though is the sound.  Some reviews said good things, others not so great, but I can tell you these things have the range of a far more expensive set of phones.  Very nice, deep but subtle lows, scaled-back but clear mids and crisp, airy highs.  Lots of nice presence, again they just sound "expensive" to me.  I couldn't be happier, especially given their low price tag.

The phones fit over my ear and are just as comfortable as any other over-the-ear pair I've ever worn.  I can see them being more on-the-ear if you have larger ears, I have smallish ears and mine just fit over.

Nice amount of noise-canceling as well, not so much that if someone is trying to get your attention you sit there oblivious like more expensive, total canceling phones out there.

I'm not an audiophile by any means but I've always enjoyed quality-sounding music and these headphones are wonderful. Would not hesitate recommending them to anyone.

This set is a real bargain. I thought the Haydn and Mendelssohn were exceptional, thoroughly enjoyed the Beethoven and Schubert, and was mildly disappointed in the Mozart. For the price it cannot be beat for lovers of chamber music.

This case is a remarkable value for the money. It reminds me of the everready cases for my Leicas from the 60s, except updated by the decades of experience we've had since - topcap fully snaps off to leave the camera protected but available for immediate shooting, bottom screw itself has a screw for fitting to a tripod, back is wide open so that the prehensile back screen can flip out (though it can be a bit snug) (though it seems ungracious to even mention that given what a bargain this is for such high quality). It's also a thing of beauty - I have had a couple of folks remark what a lovely case it is -- and it is, next to the sleek black of the modern digital camera, it looks like a hand-tooled reminder of old-world quality. I'd get these for every camera I have if they made them.

If you set out to search for the best possible speaker for the least amount of money, you will most likely be seeing a lot of this model. The ability to bi-amp is a nice feature, especially at this price point.
I purchased these as my first set of floor-standing speakers, and they sound so rich that the lossy part of my music collection is highly discernible from the rest. Luckily for me, it is because my high end audio sources sound exponentially better.
When your playing Dolby TrueHD & DTS-HD Master Audio sources, the fidelity difference over the digital standard reminds me of the first time I listened to a CD. Live music performances are especially enjoyable.
You will need an equally capable sub woofer, but that is a given and doesn't detract from these speakers.
I would recommend these to everyone, but if your concerned at all by sound quality, these really need a decent receiver with the latest formats and a good sub. Worth every penny.

Absolutely amazing value for money!  Some color fringing, but nothing too bad.  Eye relief is pretty good, I can use both with and without glasses.  Lightweight and actually possible to hand-hold (just grip by the big end and brace against something).

I have been using the caps religiously, and yes, am waiting for them to disappear, and that would be a bummer, since I understand the front elements can scratch easily.

But all in all, amazing value.  If you think you want big binoculars, buy these, you really can't go wrong.

I used them both on astronomical and terrestrial targets.

As an audiophile who has had numerous very high end (Meridian, Cello, McIntosh, B&W, Proceed...) components in and out of my systems over the years, I can say wholeheartedly that the F-12 is an outstanding value for the $170-$200 retail price. I bought it for my 13x20x9 budget media room which is currently under construction but have been using it in my 2 channel system for kicks over the last two weeks. The low frequency extension is excellent(down 4db at 25Hz in my room) and I would consider it pleasantly musical with speakers capable of flat response at or below 80Hz (which isn't asking much). It is when this sub is paired with very small speakers that it begins to tarnish; typical of many ported subwoofers, it just doesn't play well above the 80Hz range. For example, Paired with NHT Superzeros, which fall off a cliff at about 85-90Hz, some of the "punchiness" is lost. This frequency response trough is most likely the reason why some reviewers claim that the F-12 sounds "muddy".

With the right speakers and set up correctly (with a decibel meter), the F-12 is an outstanding sub for the asking price. Truly a great bargain and one heck of a warranty.

This watch is stunning.  It goes well with casual clothes and a suit.  The diamonds are very brilliant and are very noticable to the observer.  The glass will scratch, but with a watch like this you need to take care of it anyways.  This is a beautiful watch and I have recieved numerous compliments.  If you are looking for a high end watch with a reasonable price this is the watch for you. The black and grey is stunning.  You will not be disappointed.

This is a staggeringly beautiful watch. For most adult men, this will sit perfectly on your wrist and just feels oh so right. I honestly don't think there's a more elegant or professional looking timepiece than this for less than a thousand dollars. I am thrilled with my purchase.
Since I just got the watch, the only aspect that remains to be seen is longevity and durability. But at this price, even if it doesn't last more than a year or two, I'd happily buy another. For the level quality evident in this watch, it's hard to understand how they can turn a profit.

This 2-piece set looks even better up close. The colors are just stunning. For the price, this is an excellent buy. I'm planning to hang these in my office to give it some color. They're just perfect.

This is an exceptional value in terms of features at this price. DVDs look beautiful through the S-video input, virtually unheard of at this price. The built in speakers are par for this range, not great, not terrible. But the audio line out is clean and crisp, so hook up your stereo and turn off the internal speakers. Multi-component remote works fine -I'm controlling the VCR and DVD player with it easily. The only complaint is slightly bowed screen edges. Only really noticeable sometimes when a channel's call letters are placed way down at the bottom corner and get slightly clipped. Was only looking for a cheap second stereo tv with audio line out -the nice s-video was a bonus surprise!...

WOW! BEAUTIFUL! I am just blown away at the quality for the price! I was certainly skeptical because of the affordable price.
