We got this one to keep tabs on one of our dogs when she's in our garage. It works well for this. The microphone button lets you speak to her, and the sound/video from the camera is adequate, even when the lights are off. I wish the stand/foot for the screen was a bit sturdier or allowed setting the screen at more angles, but for basic monitoring where you don't need remote access via internet or remote camera movement, etc, it works great.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Decent 9V Batteries, but Oversized

I got these 9V batteries for two applications:
1. My smoke detectors
2. My acoustic guitar pre-amp
Thry fit fine in the smoke detectors, but were too fat to fit in my guitar. Hold them up next to some of the "copper top" 9V (which guitar maker recommends) and you can see they are much thicker. So they're not a drop-in replacement for every application. Too bad. My guitar drains batteries much more quickly, so I'm a bit disappointed. Had good experience with the AA size batteries though.

Nice selection of good arrangements of both religious and secular Christmas songs. I got it as a gift and my wife loved it and had it playing for weeks leading up to Christmas. Then again, she's a big fan anyway! I enjoyed it though.

The case seems very sturdy and protective, however there does appear to be a point that could fail - the rubber seal covering the charge port. Other than that, the only issue I have with the Lifeproof case is the high price. That kept me from giving it a fifth star. Word on the street has been that if your phone is damaged in a Lifeproof case, that the phone will be replaced or repaired. I don't know where that came from, but that is NOT their policy. If you want your phone protected against all loss, you'll need insurance.

I bought this headset to quickly replace one of another brand that had broken. I must say that so far I'm very impressed. I've had no issues with comfort, sound quality, or battery life. You do have to remember to turn the switch off manually when you take it off, but that's not a big deal for me.

We've had good experience with the H&R Block software. The only issue I've encountered was that it may allow you to claim some deductions that you're no longer entitled to, if you've claimed them for previous years. The software doesn't ask how many years you've already claimed them. There's an extra charge to eFile the state return. It would be nice if that was also included.

Tolkien fans will enjoy this, however the length of the film is still pretty long to get all but true fans to sit through. So as much as I love the movie, I suspect I'll have to watch it alone most of the time. It's too bad so much was added beyond what was in the original tale.

What's great about it: Cool Plot
What's not so great: Lots of ads before main feature
Marvel proves once again that they can tell a good story. I love Captain America, and I thought this movie did the character proud. It was kind of fun to see Falcon in action in this one too, as well as the characters who returned from previous movies. I look forward to other Marvel films.
I wish they'd stop putting so many ads and previews on BluRay and DVD discs. I'd pay NOT to see them. Wait! I already did!

What's great about it: Great sound and they last a long time
What's not so great: More expensive
I've used Elixir strings for a long time, but I really like these newer Phosphor/Bronze strings, for at least on my current guitar they give a bit more volume and more balanced tone than the ones I used before. I play quite a bit, and these strings last a long time, thanks to the Nanoweb coating on them. The coating also helps reduce fretting/sliding noises, and the oxidation that can get on your fingers with regular strings.

What's great about it: Easy To Use
What's not so great: Pricey - But It's a Nikon
Works great. With TTL I can just shoot and not worry about settings. Rotating head lets you bounce light off of available surfaces for more natural look. This flash can act as a master for other flashes too, like the old SB600.

What is wrong with the monitor got white in the top of left side of the monitor

Hard to say from just the description, but if I had to guess, I'd say either there's something on the camera lens or receiver display (tape?), or the LCD display on the receiver could be damaged.

Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR Super Telephoto Zoom Lens: Designed for use with most Nikon cameras with an F-Mount, this super telephoto zoom lens lets you capture birds, wildlife, motorsports and events in crisp clarity. The f/5.6 constant aperture helps you achieve out-of-focus backgrounds and lets you shoot in dim lighting.
 

will this lens work on a Nikon D3400

Yes, it will work on the D3400. But since the D3400 is a DX (crop) sensor camera body, and the 200-500mm is a standard full frame lens there will be approximately a 1.5x additional crop/magnification factor. This means that images through this lens on a D3400 will be magnified the way a 300-750mm lens would appear on a full frame camera body.

I have D70s, and want to know if this SB-700 is fully compatible using the CLS functions?
I currently have the SB-600 unit.
Yes. It has just a few additional features compared to the SB600. With the D70, it supports:
i-TTL, M, GN, Advanced Wireless Lighting (Master, Remote, or SU-4 mode), Color filter information transferred to camera, FV Lock, Rear curtain sync, AF-Assist illumination, Red-eye Reduction, AutoFP high speed sync, Firmware update capable

I have both the SB600 and SB700, and they work well together with the SB700 as a Master. The controls are a bit easier to use on the SB700.
