There are a lot of choices of speakers at virtually every price point. I thought it best to avoid the bottom end of... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~439617031812 Sat, 2 Aug 2008 15:12:06 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_439617031812?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_429805375108?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author bogrod - When I originally bought my Xbox 360, I had already heard about this unit, both from online reviews and also from scanning the stock at local stores. I started to use my Xbox 360 with a pair of standard alkaline batteries. These lasted me roughly a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~429805375108 Mon, 12 May 2008 20:45:17 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_429805375108?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_411515653764?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author bogrod - I am a fan of the scifi channel show "Ghost Hunters", and I was very enthused when I had heard that this book had been published. The show "Ghost Hunters" is a show about a group of paranormal enthusiasts on the east coast. "Ghost Hunters" shows what... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~411515653764 Fri, 21 Dec 2007 00:59:24 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_411515653764?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_355701001860?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bogrod - I purchased this unit through Costco with a limited-time discount. I had read relatively good reviews (elsewhere) so I figured that, for the money, I was making a relatively good decision. The unit came to me and immediately impressed me with its... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~355701001860 Tue, 1 May 2007 01:52:27 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_355701001860?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_294855020164?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bogrod - The recommendation of prime Nikkors of the 28mm variety, before the 28mm f/1.4, was always to suggest the 28mm f/2.8 AI-S. That lens is very deservative of the accolades that it recieves (particularly its use as a widangle macro with the 8mm extension... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~294855020164 Thu, 21 Dec 2006 01:08:28 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_294855020164?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_277810024068?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bogrod - I was at the point where my car (Saturn SL2) was at about 65,000 miles, and the original tires were showing their age. As I almost always do with any major purchase, a ton of research was involved. I went everywhere from online to a recent issue of... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~277810024068 Sat, 11 Nov 2006 23:54:36 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_277810024068?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_227821260420?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bogrod - I purchased this unit factory reconditioned from an online retailer. I've owned it now for about a year and I've come to appreciate the unit's capabilities. First off, as far as I know it's still the only THX certified DVD changer. There were a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~227821260420 Sun, 23 Apr 2006 14:12:52 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_227821260420?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_221300362884?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bogrod - This record came off of the heels of "Monster"'s relatively dissapointing sales and relatively dissapointing critical reception, and at the time of its release most R.E.M. fans "yawned" over this specific release. I recall being very unimpressed with... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~221300362884 Mon, 20 Feb 2006 04:41:43 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_221300362884?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_195018526340?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bogrod - After recently purchasing a 200mm macro lens, I took the full plunge into "serious" macro photography with this flash. I had a little bit of anxiety about purchasing a macro flash, mainly because of the fact that so many photographers don't... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~195018526340 Fri, 2 Sep 2005 02:19:49 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_195018526340?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_186992070276?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bogrod - Wow - where could I possibly start when doing a review of this camera body? I guess I can only relate my own personal buying decisions with this particular camera. I went from a Nikon FA (which finally gave up the ghost) and I had to make a long and... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~186992070276 Sun, 26 Jun 2005 02:26:02 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_186992070276?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_179223826052?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bogrod - First of all I need to start this review out by stating that I find this optic to be nothing short of revolutionary. The whole concept of allowing the user to control spherical abberation and to choose whether they want a softer foreground or background... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~179223826052 Thu, 7 Apr 2005 02:30:05 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_179223826052?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_169317142148?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author bogrod - I recently re-viewed this film after not seeing it for a long time, and I couldn't help but take note of how your perspective on a film can change over the years. Overall, this movie has not aged well. There is a very "dusty" and dated feeling to the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~169317142148 Wed, 12 Jan 2005 03:25:30 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_169317142148?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_162268745348?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bogrod - This 50mm f/1.8 offering from Nikon is just about the best bargain that Nikon offers on their lens lineup. $99 USD will buy you an extremely useable lens in many, many photographic situations. I own a number of 50mm Nikkors, but this one has to be my... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~162268745348 Fri, 19 Nov 2004 19:56:05 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_162268745348?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_159277616772?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bogrod - Using a fixed focal length requires a certain degree of discipline when you are using it, but in the end you are forced to compose and think within a specific "frame" of composition. Foot zooming ends up being your only choice if you want to draw... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~159277616772 Sat, 23 Oct 2004 01:08:31 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_159277616772?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_155327303300?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bogrod - Jim Jarmusch's "Dead Man" was released into the theaters in 1996, and hit a resounding thud in the minds of moviegoers. I do not personally recall it even being in the theaters myself, even living in a major city. Of course, the film was eventually... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~155327303300 Wed, 15 Sep 2004 09:59:05 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_155327303300?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_154402524804?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bogrod - The title to my review specifically notes that this is the best work that King has *ever* personally contributed for any Hollywood production - television or film, whether that be writing/producing/directing in any combination. I was a member of the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~154402524804 Sat, 4 Sep 2004 19:37:40 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_154402524804?linkin_id=8003929
