    Baja 1000 Tech Inspection

    The track has changed and now runs on the mountain side. Does not enter Erendira and does not run the ocean side until just before Punta Cabras when it comes out of the hills. A much more challenging course then last years 1000 and this years 500. A few days ago I rode the quad on the new...

    Does anyone have a Panasonic GF1?

    Lost. There is a seller on the worlds largest auction site that has made adapters for the GF1, the G1 and the GH1 that allows numerous lens systems to be used. I can actually use my old Konica AR lens if I wanted to go that way. If you do a Google search for "jinfinance" you can go directly to...

    Canon G11 - Impressions

    Canon S90 Rockwell recently reviewed the Canon S90. I was a fan of his but his constant plugging and urging others to buy the $9000 Leica (sans lens) when he constantly spouted " I am a film guy" rants leads me to believe he is more interested in reaping rewards from retail sellers and...

    ThinkTank Pixel Pocket Rocket Survey

    Would like to take the survey but when I click on the "take the survey" link I get this: " sorry you have taken the survey" and that´s it. Just my luck to take a survey and not remember. I think my brain is still rattled after 2 great wipe outs during that last swell. But I like the product

    Looking for an inexpensive HD video camcorder

    I don´t think the magnetic rings will work . Not enough metalase around the lens to attached a step up ring. You will be very happy with the underwater lcase and just the lens that comes with the Flip. ,

    Looking for an inexpensive HD video camcorder

    Chuck. I doubt the case will work with the step up rings. if you think you would use the waterproof case I would forgo the step up rings and wide angle conversion lens as I don´t see the Flip with the step up ring fitting inside the waterproof case. If I had the water proof case and conversion...
