One level up from the Carlton set, good value.
By Rick V
Background you can skipI bought this set for myself and my kids so that we could play in the yard. I had seen the Carlton set for about 35$ in a store and did not like the quality of the rackets and the wobbly poles so I decided to buyt the slightly more expensive Salaun set, for 15 to 20 bucks more.About this setIt did not disappoint. The set came, like most other sets, in a plastic carrying bag and was complete:- 6 rackets of which 4 regular size and 2 short, in 4 distinct colors and made of aluminium- Net (poly)- Poles (steel)- Pole fasteners (to pull the net tight)with ground spikes- 3 nylon shuttles in a container- carrying bagThe rackets are very decent quality, certainly one grade up from the 7$ steel throw-away stuff. These are actually nice looking, very lightweight (aluminum) and durable. The string is tight and, again, these are worth the extra money over the Carlton set I looked at.The net was relatively easy to set up and I liked the fact it was set with steel poles. Doesn't mean it won't break if you manhandle it but certainly more durable than pvc.By the way, I posted a bunch of pics so you can look at the parts.Pros- Decent quality that will make this set last- Complete with 6 rackets and everything else you needCons- Little tricky to get the net right. Best thing would be a permanent net with poles set in concrete. These poles are always a little tricky with the tension cords but once set up they should stand up through the summer if you wanted to.Setting it up a few times will make it easier though. Minus one star for that but all sets will have that flaw.Final thoughtsHe/She who finds a simpler solution to the netting gets 5 stars. Consider buying a separate net solution if you are looking for something more permanent but if that is the case I recommend spending the 200$ or so for a semi-pro setup anyways. For your run of the mill home use this is perfect. With so many rackets it is a good party set.If you have the room in your yard or lots of wind interference consider buying a simplet Speedminton set. Tougher, faster game and loads of fund. Goes for 30$.

By D. Bentley
I purchased the Salaun Badminton Advanced Family Game Kit in June.It has been set up, taken down and set back up with ease. It was thoroughly used over the 4th of July weekend and withstood vigorous play to our satisfaction.The kit comes with 4 full-sized rackets, 2 short-handled rackets, 3-pk shuttlecocks, breakdown-able poles, strings and stakes, as well as strings to mark the court area.Rackets seem sturdy and quality-made. Birdies come apart with use and do occasionally find their way into the net. Net and poles could stay up well under most "windy" days, but not under a windy downpour of rain. Poles are rusting due to being left set up outside.Is it better quality than what I could purchase at a local store? I don't know, but I do consider it worth the $50 I paid for it.

By John Quillen
We play hard enough that we've distorted (bent) racket heads and loosened the strings of a couple of sets (not goofing around, just hitting the birdie hard). This set has taken everything we've dished out.The handle covers show no signs of wear and are comfortable; they seem like they'll hold up over the long haul.Very nice set and well worth the extra money. The net / poles are cheap, but the rackets are excellent and worth the price alone.

Short lived beauty !
By Gadget Guy
The necklace was beautiful, the engraving very fine and delicate. Made my girlfriend very happy, she loved it. Now a little over a year there are fine scratches on the back of the locket , and a small black dot. The chain is still in excellent condition. I have to say it is very disappointing to see something so pretty get tarnished so fast. She has had it a little over a year, gold being an inert metal shouldn't tarnish so easily , and 14K gold , isn't so soft that it will scratch this easily either.My only conclusion is that the quality of the necklace isn't very high quality. Its a shame however ,not too shocking looking at the price. You get what you pay for, and this is no different. I do feel a bit mislead by the description : "Gold-filled jewelry is composed of a solid layer of gold, bonded with heat and pressure to a base metal such as brass. Some high quality gold-filled pieces have the look, luster, and beauty of 14 karat (58 percent) gold. "This description has the air of something very high quality , and unfortunately isn't. Its a nice gift , just buyer beware of the heartbreak.

By IGot2P
This case was actually much better than I expected. You can't match the looks of it for twice the money. It could have used a "hold down" strap over the barrel but other than that a great product.

By Swar
I will agree with Richard C. with one exception. The tab on the center latch of my case came off the first time I went to use it. I was able to fix it, but the latches could be a little more secure. I would imagine that other cases in this price range probably use similiar latches. Otherwise the case holds your breakdown shotgun in a secure and nicely padded interior, with a separate space for extra chokes and another space for glasses or other small items or tools.

By Richard P. Cicciarelli
I am on a tight budget but I wanted to protect my investment. I did not own a Browning or a Beretta so I didn't really want a case with their name on the front. I was looking for a leather look, fitted case with locking latches. This fit the bill...and I couldn't find anything else that compared anywhere near this price point. The next best thing ran around $150. At under $100 you can't go wrong with this. I am quite pleased!!!

By E. Peterson
My wife loves it, but I thought I'd warn everyone... as I was putting the pictures in I dropped the little plastic covers that go on top of the pictures to hold them in place. I found one, but the other has completely disappeared, and because they're clear they're harder to find then a lost contact.

By David W
To be clear: This is a logger, not a navigation device. There is NO WAY to see your position(s) without connecting to a computer! This is by design.I got the DG-100 mainly (solely?) for geotagging photos. I received it at worked, charged it on my work computer and left it on driving home. It was crazy-accurate, even showing my lane changes. Once I changed the settings to track altitude, I found that the altitude is not very accurate, so I turned it off. I believe that is a problem inherent to this entire category of devices, not this particular unit though.EDIT: After reviewing log files, the altitude is accurate when you get a couple more satellites. If you filter out logs with only three or four satellite locks, the altitude is fine. End edit.I geotagged a bunch of test photos, and it took me a long time to get that right. I had to use the Globalsat software to export the GPX file, after which point you can use any software you want to work with that file. The manual wasn't much help to me; I basically had to trial-and-error it. My problem was that the "Export to GPX" was buried in a menu, rather than one of the more obvious toolbar choices (which are KML, CSV, or TXT). Once I got that right, I saved the GPX to my photo folder and used Google's GPicSync to tag the photos. It worked perfectly, and tagged the RAW files as well as JPGs (I use Canon 400D). All in all, within an hour of sitting down with the device I had tagged photos, and now that I know the process, it'll only take a few minutes at the end of each day of shooting.Edit: The Globalsat software cuts your logs into chunks of between 40 and 65 tags (advertised as 95? I haven't gotten 95 yet). You have to load the files, check them or select all from file menu, then load map points from Map menu, THEN export. This will export the points from all of the files, not just one, to the GPX. Cumbersome, but workable. Also, with Windows Vista the provided Prolific driver failed after I restarted. I uninstalled, let Windows find new hardware and search for the driver on the internet. That driver continues to work. End edit.Note: Older versions of this software did not export to GPX. Throw the CD that comes with it away and download the latest version, and it works fine.Pros:Charges through USB (also optional car charger)Very accurate (to be expected with SiRF III chipset, any SiRF III device should be equally accurate)Three fully-customizeable modesPush-button manual loggingLong-life, chargeable batteries, or regular AAs if you have toPhysically very solid build. I'm not afraid to throw it in my rucksack pocket and go hiking. (Edit: I have since dropped it. The battery cover popped off, but nothing broke and it works. However, I'm concerned that the battery cover is a weak point. I'd like to find out if Globalsat offers parts, so I can get a couple covers to spare. I'm pretty sure I'll drop it a few more times in its life. End edit)Can be used as GMouse. Not useful to me, but if you need it, it's there.Cons:Included software works, but is clunky (Edit: after a few days of practice, it's second nature now. End edit)Included software does not directly geotag photos (but this is minor, since exporting to GPX and then using GPicSync or other software is very easy)No bluetoothEdit: As of December 2011 I still use this every day, now with Win7, and it still works fine.

By Squix.ch
I bought this device a few weeks ago and I'm really happy with it: the produced GPS data is very accurate and the batteries held more than 30 hours of logging. The Windows Software that comes with it is ok, not great but functional. There are also some open source tools so that you even can make it work under Linux and maybe even Mac OS X (altough I didn't test that myself, I gave up because the USB-Driver made problems under Mac OS X). During a city trip to Munich I was using the DG-100 while taking pictures with my Canon EOS 400D and after this imported the pictures to Gallery2. Now a map shows all the places where I took pictures in Munich, amazing! If you need a step-by-step guide to geotag your pictures with GPS data from this device and how to use Gallery2 to show them on a map, you might want to read my blog on squix.ch Just have fun with it!

Buy Sigma EF-530 DG Super EO-ETTL II Electronic Flash for Canon EOSMost helpful customer reviews
22 of 23 people found the following review helpful.A worthy upgrade from a 500 ST
By Spencer
I bought the 530 Super to replace my 500 ST. It's definitely faster and quieter than the ST. So what's the main difference you ask between the 530 and 500 SUPER. I would say that the 530 adds more power to the flash. The ETTL metering seem's to right on the money. If you were to compare this flash with Canon's 430EX, I would rather get this one. Same performance with added wireless MASTER transmitter.
12 of 15 people found the following review helpful.Best thing for your shots!
By Pavel C
Sigma EF-530 DG Super is the best and most important investment you can get for your camera. Let me justify this. First, assuming you already have one, take a shot of an object with your on-camera flash, then put this baby on and take another shot, then compare your results. See the real skin colors and the life-like quality of image? It is night and day. On-camera flash is harsh and there is little adjustment you can do with it. This Sigma can be positioned to bounce the light in many artistic ways so you don't get an overexposed face and a dark background, etc.Another one, and I think it is totally amazing and worth any money, this unit has an IR sensor that when enabled will measure the distance to the object and report it to the camera body, which will focus the lens perfectly. No more hunting, no more issues with focusing due to low light condition or a slow lens, or lack of contrast at the point of focus. I have walked into a totally dark room, blindly focused on several objects, and shots came out perfect! I really like this idea - no more out of focus issues.Use it any time, day or night, inside or outdoors, it makes a big difference, believe me. And it is better than any Canon for the money, why spend extra. You noticed, I am a Canon guy, have been for many years. Canon is overrated, while Sigma and Tamron are two quality competitors that bring excellent products at a fraction of the cost. Of course, if you are a pro, your image is more important, so you go with all Canon, otherwise most people on the street will be easily impressed by your setup compared to their point-and-shoot. I am not about the image, I am simply looking for the best picture for the buck.Simply buy this flash, and you will never look back or feel the money was spend foolishly. Enjoy!

By ohiomom
This is a very good bathing system. The back and legs are adjustable. The description states the height can be adjusted with the person in the seat. That is not true. The legs pull out to adjust, no way can that be done with a person seated in the chair. I find it a little awkward to move because of the weight and height, I am 5'1" so that could be the answer for that. The back, however, does adjust with the person in the chair. Unless you have a small tub, you will definitely need the tub stand.
Buy 5/4/3mm Mens Billabong Foil Steamer Full Wetsuit - Size XX-Large (2XL)Billabong has completely revamped the Foil line of wetsuits this year, and they did a really nice job for the price point! This wetsuit features 100% superstretch neoprene for excellent flexibility in the water. They beefed up the stretch by adding top of the line "ZG300" superflex to critical pivot points, and eliminating some unnecessary seam panels. A new water resistant zipper, combined with internal zip flaps and sealed seams help keep the cold water from flushing the suit. The chest is lined with a thermal poly fleece lining that wicks moisture from the skin while adding some extra insulation. Also features: chafe resistant collar, adjustable neck, internal key loop, durable kneepads, and a FREE 3mm bibbed hood.

By Bruce Lawrence
I love this wetsuit. I live in Southern California where the water gets into the low 50's in the winter. And I am amazed how warm this suit keeps me. Others surfers are out there getting cold during the long wait for a set, but for me, the cold water is not even a bother. Many told me that they thought a 5mm would be too much wetsuit, too thick and bulky. But there is no compromise required for the extra warmth at all. The suit is amazingly flexible and easy to maneuver in. Highly recommended by this reviewer.

By emeron
Well built. I use it mainly for volume pedal and tuner. Stereo out is useful too. Most of the effects do not sound as good as a stomp box would so do not rely on it to replace a whole pedalboard. Balanced out would have been nice, too.. On the bright side, tuner works well. Just tuner, volume pedal and 2 outs makes it worth to carry around. Find a patch that you will like and that will be a bonus.
2 of 3 people found the following review helpful.Good Board with major limitations...
By David Baker
The marketing team at Boss and all the reviews I havde read fail to mention one big fault with this product in its literature. You can only stack three effects at a time, one per switch. While this might seem okay it is impossible to do things like use a reverb and delay at the same time as they are associated with the same switch. Look at the text next to each pedal. If you want any two effects listed in a row at the same time you are out of luck. One per column PERIOD.Also, wha pedal on/off takes more force than it should. You practically have to stand on it to make it engage. Requires additional $25 wall wart.Its a great idea, sturdy build, nice clean processors, at a good price with a major programming limitation. I will keep mine as it is the same price as a decent volume tuner combo and the verb and comp are decent, but I advise effect tweak heads to look elsewhere.

By G. Wright
This was my son's favorite toy from his 7th birthday. It quickly rose up in the ranks as a toy he plays with a great deal. It is well made, though the gun barrel comes off rather easily but it is also easy to re-attach.He really enjoys the action of the Chain gun lighting up and shaking, it is well done.You will as a parent find yourself inserting the soldier back into his harness as he is a bit too complicated for a 7yr old to install on his own after the soldier is popped out.But it is a very well made, thought out, and enjoyable toy for a little boy.
