My question to the group: Any suggestions for a reliable dealer in the New York area with prices in the same range as B H? Or Boston? I've been dealing up until now exclusively with B H so I have no experience with alternates. Ive never heard of another place like BH. Best prices around,

No surprise here really. This research concludes that it's worth it for Google to pay the enormous Youtube cost's of serving free video since it brings so much traffic to the web. It's lile grocery stores losing money on eggs to get you into the store. It's a loss leader.

I would suggest going to a rental shop in your area or nyc. They are more then welcoming to let you look at the equipment, then just purchase it at BH. I have a friend that works at dvdepot.com n...@dvdepot.com On Mon, Jun 29, 2009 at 8:28 AM, Jay dedman jay.ded...@gmail.com wrote: My

What do you think would have happened to youtube if it wasnt aquired by a mega-company? Sure, it would have raised multiple rounds of investment to stay alive and figure out how to monetize. They would have had to launch their own ad platform, probably similar as google's auction based AdWords.

I made a promise to myself that I will never buy anything from BH no matter how desperate I am to get something or whether other stores don't carry what I want to get. BH simply became arrogant in their customer service as they achieved power. Let me explain; I have a Strida folding bike and

This year will be the most informative in terms who's truly innovative in online video hosting. I had a hunch that seesmic or imeem would not be around for long simply by initially checking out their UI and user experience. Not that I am happy that they are folding, but this is another example

I´ve never been to NY, but my first visit will probably include a trip to BH - everyone talks about that store. I understand your frustration, and you are right - its no small amount of money and you´re going to be stuck with that camera for a bit of time. But... if it makes you feel

[videoblogging] iMovie 08/09 VS iMovie HD 06?
