Great tripod could'n be happier with it, I don't think you can get a better tripod for the price.

Great Lightweight Tripod

2008-02-24
I am pleased with my purchase! The Tiffen Tripod Traveler is very lightweight and comes with a nice travel case. I've been able to take it many places and successfully use my camera and video camcorder. An excellent product and the price is great!

Easily broken

2007-10-17
The hand crank on the tripod broke the first time I used it. Called Tiffen to get a replacement since they have a ten year warranty on their product. They said they would send out the replacement part, but after longer then a month I haven't received anything, which I'm sure will be the case until I throw the piece of c... out!!! Also, the camera moves on the tripod when the shutter is pushed. This seems odd since the use of a tripod is supposed to prevent this from happening. Dissatisfied customer. Don't buy if you expect to have the item repaired if it breaks within the warranty period, a laugh out loud ten years, or if your serious about quality. Better make that warranty ten minutes gentlemen!!

Good low price

Davis & Sanford Traveler Tripod Maximum Load - 4 lbs. Minimum operating height - 20 Folded Length - 21 Weight - 2 lbs. Includes Soft sided woven tripod bag

Flimsy but cheap

2007-06-26
This tripod is too short (I virtually always use it extended to full height, including the head), too flimsy (it struggles to hold my Canon 400D still, even with a small lens), and difficult to adjust (the same camera is virtually impossible to hold at much of an angle). The removable head is also a bit flimsy. However, it's also light, and ridiculously cheap. Don't pay more than $15 for it, and you won't be disappointed.

'Travel' tripod

2007-05-31
I have just received this item and am very impressed. The tripod is very sturdy and well built. The number of adjustments for a travel tripod is impressive. I am a little surprised at the size given that it is a 'Travel' tripod and would have liked something a little more compact.

Pretty OK

2007-05-12
The tripod is pretty decent for its price. It has everything I expected. It is light, easy to fold and unfold. I've been using it for a while and found that although it seem fragile, it has not been damaged as yet. The only issue I have with it is that it's a bit bulky to carry. But I guess that is expected from a 5' tripod. It comes with a nylon carrying bag that you can sling over your back. The strap is not adjustable though.

It does what I want it to do,so I'm satisfied.

Don't sneeze beside this thing... i'll move!

The only reason i give it 4 stars it's because i only paid about 8 bucks for it but it's a toy...

	Sony Cybershot DSCS90 4.1 MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom Review: "This Camera is one of the best in its price range. It takes beautiful clear pictures and can be used right out of the box, but its worth learning all its features. The included memory holds about 20-25 pictures so I upgraded to 128mb. I reccomend getting a 128mb card and the Sony camera case. Not only is this one of the best cameras in its class it includes decent software and rechargeable batteries that are at least a 20$ value. HIGHLY reccomend over canon,kodak, and fuji. One more thing this camera has CARL Zeiss lens (if you dont know, great lens) all the competetors have generic lens."

A couple of digital photography experts weigh the advantages and disadvantages of film vs. digital photography, and explain the basics underlying both types of photography. The Grottas provide reality checks on such issues as whether the number of megapixels really matter, and tips on camera selection, use, and e-mailing and organizing photos.

From the Back Cover The megapixel hype
The fact is a camera’s megapixel rating is only a measure of how many pixels (photosensitive sites) an image sensor has…. An image sensor is simply one component of an entire system that produces a digital photograph… So resist buying into the megapixel hype when you’re choosing a digital camera. From Chapter 1
