| Would you cancel 3,250 deal cause 16 short? I wonder if the seller was looking for an excuse to back out of the deal? Spending $50 to return funds that were short by $16.00, sounds like a better deal was offered to the seller. The only other explanation that would make some sense is, the se... | |

| Audio as a hobby I've always enjoyed telemark skiing until I too, sretched out the ACL in my right knee. Whitewater canoeing, pool, hiking, scuba diving, and photography all fill the gap when I'm not listening to music. | |

It's all manual, therefore the photographer can learn and experiment with shutter speeds, depth of field, bright or dark background exposure control, etc. It also provides the photographer with comp... |
