Fine cable, but the wrong one for me
I bought this thinking I could run sound from my laptop to the XLR input on my audio mixer. As it turned out, this cable didn't work, but the one that did was 3.5mm TRS stereo to dual XLR. Since the 3.5mm TRS is a stereo connection, I needed stereo on the XLR end, and that means two XLR's are needed on that end. My problem may also have something to do with balanced/unbalanced connections. I'm sure this cable is just right for someone, but it wasn't what I needed, and unfortunately I didn't know enough about sound systems to get it right the first time. Fortunately, I bought the right cable and now my system works like I wanted.

Expecting great things from this camera
3 of 4 found this helpful I have owned quite a few film cameras, and then digital cameras over the years -- Nikon, Canon, Fuji, Panasonic, and one generic brand. All of them have been good cameras, and I have no loyalty to any brand.
The one prevailing thing that they have in common is that whichever camera is the newest one has the newest and best technology and is my new favorite. For the moment, that is this Nikon P100.
Let's start with video. Lots of digital cameras these days can take video. 640x480 (VGA) is very common. Many cameras can even take 720p video, which is very good. But there is just no substitute for having the best there is, and that is 1080p. The Nikon P100 does 1080p. Even if you don't have a 1080p TV or monitor today, you are taking video memories for the future. One short-term disadvantage to 1080p video is that it consumes a lot more memory than lower resolutions, but that will become less significant as memory continues to become cheaper and hard drives increase capacity.
Next is optical zoom. I LOVE zoom! I like to take photos of my son from way far away when he doesn't even know I'm there. Big zoom is great for sports and wildlife photos, too. Digital zoom is worthless advertising -- your computer can do that -- but optical zoom matters. This camera has 26x, which is really, really good.
When you have big zoom, you need the camera to help you take steady photos. Canon calls it IS - image stabilization. Nikon calls it VR - vibration reduction. They both accomplish the same thing and work about as well as each other.
This camera has a moveable LCD screen, but I don't know why. The screen doesn't move very much, and can't turn to the side like my Canon Powershot S1-IS did. The Canon was very handy (and surprisingly durable) to flip the screen around to the front so I could hold the camera and frame the picture with myself in it. It was definitely cool, and some of the Canon Powershots still have that same feature. Nikons do not.
My particular camera has a manufacturing defect, where the viewfinder display is messed up, but it doesn't affect the LCD or the photos, so I have considered it to be fairly minor. I have owned quite a few different brands of cameras over the years, and I have not noticed any of them to have a perfect or horrible repair record. So this one manufacturing problem doesn't scare me away from Nikon.

Got the broken screws out
While removing 32 brass jets from a cast iron burner, two of them snapped off flush with the cast iron. This set of four screw extractors was just what I needed to remove the broken parts.
