Sound Buys Product Review By Don Lindich
Digital SLR is an extremely hot camera category, and an Olympus digital SLR is always one of the more unique digital SLR cameras you can buy. Olympus has long gone its own way in the world of SLR cameras, […]
Gotta hand it to my readers, they don’t miss much! Soon after posting the 42HL167 deal, I received this email:

Toshiba 42HL167
This deal is an absolute stunner! Onecall.com has the top-rated Toshiba 42HL167 1080p LCD HDTV for only $999, greatly reduced from the MSRP of $1,699. If you’ve seen the HD DVD endcap display at Best Buy, this is the TV they most commonly use to show off the format, and for good […]

Read my review and see them here. […]

I was wondering how you felt about extension tubes. I bought one that does not seem to work. I have a Canon 20D and was using the extension tube with my Canon zoom lens EF 75-300mm. I know you can’t use the autofocus so I did change to manual mode. […]
