By evaluating the Pre-flash, white balance can be set to the color temperature of the flash for greater color accuracy.

Live Histogram Display

The live histogram displays number of pixels at each luminosity making it easy to evaluate correct exposure.

5 Megapixel (2592 x 1944) Image Size

With its high resolution CCD, the DSC-V1 captures in 4 different image sizes, Fine or Standard JPEG compression.

NightFraming System

To capture beautiful color images in low or no light, NightFraming illuminates the subject with the NightShot system for proper framing, focuses with Hologram AF and lights the scene with flash.

Garmin GSC 10 Speed Cadence Sensor for Edge and Forerunner Series (010-10644-00)

Garmin GSC 10 Speed Cadence Sensor for Edge and Forerunner Series (010-10644-00)
A good companion for Garmin's Edge 305 and 305CAD cycle computers and the Garmin Forerunner 305 personal trainer, the GSC 10 monitors your cycling rhythm for up-to-the-minute results and later analysis. The self-calibrating, wireless unit measures both speed (in pedaling strokes per minute) and cadence , then provides feedback to the user for optimal performance. You can later feed the results to Garmin's Training Center software, which helps you tailor your workouts to meet specific goals and objectives.

Like the Garmin heart rate monitor, the GSC 10 attaches easily to your bike, where its sensors detect signals from your wheels and send the information wirelessly to your personal trainer/cycle computer. It's also backed by a one-year warranty.

Customer Review: What a training tool!!!

What a great training tool! I did not have a computer for my bike, but have been using my Garmin Forerunner 305 while running for some time now. I decided to purchase the cadence sensor, and am glad I did, what a great training tool and it has helped me improve my riding significantly. Highly recommended if you are serious about riding.

Customer Review: Homerun

This is my first cadence sensor so I do not have anything to compare it to. This cadence sensor combinded with my 305 has completely made my flightdeck obsolute. I was especially impressed by the auto-calibration for the speed sensor feature. No more need to measure your wheel size. Now, if Garmin can just figure out a cheap and acurate power meter there would be no need for more than one computer on your bike.

Olympus Floating Camera Strap - Orange (for 850SW and 1030SW Models)

Olympus Floating Camera Strap - Orange (for 850SW and 1030SW Models)
Compatible with Olympus Stylus 720SW, 725SW, 770SW, 790SW, 850SW or 1030SW digital cameras / Keeps cameras afloat and easy to find in the water

Customer Review: Works great

The floating strap for the camera is super lightweight and small, it works great. It has a tiny loop on the top of the orange part that I'm assuming would be good to hook keychains or to hang on a hook or something. I'm not really sure, I haven't found a use for it but you can just fit a finger through it. Otherwise, a great produc - you'll definitely need something like this if you're using an underwater camera in the ocean. I have an Olympus Stylus 1030SW camera and it goes up to 33ft underwater but if it were to sink lower than that it would basically die, so getting the floating camera strap was a necessity. I think it comes in other colors but the orange is what I have and it's great!

Olympus Silicone Skin for the Stlus 790SW and 850SW Digital Cameras, Clear

Olympus Silicone Skin for the Stlus 790SW and 850SW Digital Cameras, Clear
Durable, silicon protective skin protects your OLympus Stylus 790SW against dust, bumps and scratches while giving you complete control of all the camera functions. The built-in feet stabilize the camera on uneven surfaces. Color: Clear.

Customer Review: Silicone Skin Cover

I like the idea of the silicone cover so that I can put my camera in my bag without it getting scratched and I do not have to use another case for the camera. The only thing I have to say is a pain with this cover is that when you want to change the battery or plug it into the computer you have to remove the silicone skin. Overall it is not bad, after all other cameras do not even have this option.

Customer Review: sticky

This product is a great idea and a good investment to protect your camera but it would be nice if the material they used didn't pick up every piece of sand or lint or cat hair.

Customer Review: good value

Pros: Good sound quality. Many channel selections so you don't have to share the net with others. I've used them all day long without any battery problems. I can wear the included headset inside my ATV helmet if I cover my ear with my hand as I jam the helmet on. This makes communication with my buddies during an ATV ride much more convenient. I'll eventually buy the headset made specifically for installation in a helmet.

Cons: The charger doesn't automatically turn off when the batteries are fully charged. The VOX feature was frustrating to use. I tried it at several sensitivity levels while riding ATVs. It would either transmit while I wasn't speaking or not transmit at the beginning of whatever I wanted to say. Perhaps the VOX works fine without the noisy ATVs - I don't know.



Overall, a worthwhile purchase.

Customer Review: Good, except around hills

We got these to use around the farm so when one of us is down with the animals, we can still communicate with the other person in the house. For this, they work great. They have more features than we need so, if we were to buy 2-ways again, we'd probably go with a cheaper model. The reason we sprung for this more expensive set is that we figured if we were going to have 2-ways, we could also carry them with us when walking our dogs on the back of the property in case one runs off or somebody gets hurt, we could call to the person back home. But even just a quarter-mile from our house (let alone the 26 miles it's billed as working over), we can't communicate with each other. There's a hill between us, but again, it's just a quarter-mile of distance. I would've thought these could handle at least that, but no.

Internet Shoppers, as a rule, are not stupid. Although the Internet Shopper tends to be an instant-gratification junkie (like me), they will check around before pushing the order button. They are going to go all the way through your order process, until they get the FINAL price. Then they are going to cancel the order, and do some checking around. What are they going to check before they push your button? The same product on other peoples sites. Now, let’s assume that life is perfect, and you
