Found the InterspotProductions video review very helpful! Got the camera today from best buy. Pretty good other than waiting between photo taking.
Use good SDHC Memory cards at least 8GB with a rating of (10) That's the number in the circle. Also, your picture review time can hold up the process, so if you use the review, try to keep it short.
The flash might hold up the buffer time also, as can the fine image setting. The finer the image, the more detail, but if you're in a hurry try setting it at medium rather than fine.
Fine tune it to suite your needs, but if you get lost in your settings, there is a RESET to factory settings
Good Luck with you're new camera,
Joe Prete
Hi Joe,
I was going to buy a Nikon L810 for my 12 yr old son who wants a quality camera for nature shots (bird watching-feathered kind). Now after reading reviews will look at others. I looked at the fuji 166-793 and the fuji finepix HS25 exr. Price range is aprox $300 aus. Do you have any suggestions. Cheers, Janet
I bought one on black Friday. My family thought I paid too much. Yes, it costs a pretty penny. But, it was worth it. I've had for only a few days. Yet, I'm in love with it. The quality of the pictures is great. I haven't had any problems.
Depending on where you bought the camera, it is possible to ask for their price matching policy to adjust the price, if this retailer has this policy in effect. I have found lower prices many times, and about half of them did adjust the price. Now, Many credit cards are adding this to their list of benefits. (I try to always use credit cards that extend the manufacturers warranty by up to one year) American Express also adds 90 days theft, loss or breakage to their benefit. I try to shop at big name stores that usually have this policy in effect. It usually has to be within 30 days from the date of purchase. It's worth a shot to look into it. I wish you Good Luck with your new Camera,
Joe Prete
PS:It's human nature to check the prices after a purchase.
I am needing a camera for an upcoming mission trip. I want one that is not too expensive but also takes good pictures. Is this a good camera for me or will i regret buying it
Actually, there were two complaints for this camera from the start that I tried to help with, both did sound like grey market. Since then there were 3 here and 1 on another site that were very happy with this model and it's price. There's a Sony DMC H100 that seems to be the same camera under the covers. This is below $200.00 US You may want to Fine tune your search to make sure it "fits" you're needs. Also, if you've used a camera before the information might help. If you need more help my email is in one of the posts above.

Hi, I would love to start with photography but I really don't know what camera to start with. I don't have any experience with photography so far. Is this a good camera to start with? Or is there anything better in the same price range?
Thanks in advance!
I've never seen prices so low, for such high quality equipment. I think it's a great time to start. I would first consider the way that you will carry the camera. You may want a slim camera that can slide into a pocket that doesn't take up much room, or a larger one that you will have to carry in a case or a bag.
A slim camera can often capture great photographs way before anyone else has time to get their lens cap off. A bulkier camera like a Super Zoom can bring in the distant shots, subjects that you couldn't get to, can appear close up in your Pictures. Just think about how you see yourself using the camera and there will be way more than enough cameras for you to choose from.

Heck JoPrete - one cool 'Dude' - David Bailey eat your heart out. 10year old kid, made under instruction a 'pin-hole' camera and progressed from there to a Box Brownie. Continued through S.L.R. Zeniths with 'Helios Lens' 'Shoot' and everyone knew and continued onwards and upwards. L.810 is a lovely bit of pocket sized equipment which with care, produces great stuff. Jo boasts over £50,000 worth of equipment - clearly aint up to much - take much of what he say's with a pinch of snuff!
Guys, i bought this one from ebay after this review. its been a week now and its awesome. for a beginner like me you cant expect more.even the night time pictures are also damn good.first time i could zoom onto moon.thanks joe for your suggestions.
@ joe… bro one last question ,what camera should i go for? l810 or p510 for semi pro photography for a life time buy,,
What happend to the product image shot of the bottom of the camera? Photographyblog is always so good about showing all views, including the straight-on shot of the bottom of the camera. that silly angled battery shot with the door open tells us nothing.
The P510 is a much better camera than the L810, but it also costs twice as much. There will always be one better!
... Joe Prete
You're right. The picture of the batteries was not needed, it shows the batteries in the memory card photo. If you wanted to see where it was manufactured, Nikon states that they are a global company, and any of their cameras may be made in any number of locations.
... Joe Prete
joe please help me, my grandparents are buying me a digicam for my birtyday tomorrow and they are buying either the samsung wb100 or nikon l810.. after reading all the reviews which one of these is better in terms of performance and image quality? thanks hoping for a speedy reply
kindly email me ur fb or twitter addres or ur email ,,i will b thankful to u
Dear Joe,

1)Fujifilm FinePix SL300
2) Nikon CoolPix L810
3) Canon PowerShot SX160
4) Fujifilm FinePix S4500
5) Olympus SP 810UZ
What would you recommend? Please help me.
My first pick would be the Fujifilm S4500,
...the Second would be the Fujifilm SL300.
..My third pick is the Nikon Coolpix L810,
..Fourth pick is the Canon Powershot 160
and there you have it okay,

@Michael T Loose Post#112
Can you tell me the one obvious and significant
result, of a picture taken with a pinhole camera?
Take a guess,
... Joe Prete
I'm not sure of the pubah status; however, I will tell you that I am still using the old L100 Nikon and still love the quality of photos, the AA and shutter speed. In wanting to go purchase another camera similar, but newer (my USB port on the camera needs repair) I've checked out the P510, but would not purchase it for several of the reasons that you give as reasons to purchase the camera.
I prefer - no wait - dealbreaker is not having AA batteries. The P510 seems like a let's pack as much on a camera as possible and sell it as a digital point and shoot. I - and this is after all, all about me - don't want the viewfinder - I'm not a geocacher, certainly don't need GPS, and another moving part such as the moveable LCD is just something to break. Unfortunately, the 810 has everything that I do want, but the shutter speed seems to be (on paper at least) slower than the L100. I could be wrong, but I will know today when I take my L100 to the store and actually test the two cameras side by side. So, bottom line, there are a few folks left that are into the scaled down models - not all the fluff and to be perfectly honest - I have 3 point and shoot cameras and 2 video cameras and when I want to take a good picture - and I have some that I have taken that look like professional photos, I go to my trusty old L100. Unless the 810 is so much slower that I cannot get a photo of my two favorite models (a dog and a cat) the 810 would be exactly what I want for all of the reasons that you are suggesting the P510! Just thought I would add my 2 cents!
There have been next to no complaints about the NIKON P510, a friend, in the repair business knows the camera inside and out and he tells me that it's one of the best in it's range. I can have him speak to you, but not if you rush out,he is in a different time zone than me. THE L810 is a CCD BASED CAMERA, I don't have time to check the specs right now, but few people were happy with it, it only shoots JPEGS so their standards are very low. The camera can only shoot at very low ISO and the CCD is only still being used in the lowest price cameras. The CMOS replaced it YEARS AGO. the L810 has a SONY Name in India, but it is the same camera. I'm helping someone else right now, but if you give me some time, I can give you some guidance. If you think you know what you're doing, why did you take the time to post your plan, just do what you want…. Many people ask for help because haste makes waste! and I don't need to know what everyone is buying, unless they ask for help. Make up your mind. I'll check back later on today, If I don't see a request for help, I'll assume you don't need any. I don't understand why you wrote in in the first place! BTW, Optical viewfinders are fading away, but you can't use an LCD on a sunny day, and an LCD leaves you no way to steady the camera!. Later….

Hi Joe Prete,
I am wnating to buy a digital camera as i have an intrest in photography, I've never owned a digital camera before, I've been trying to figure out which camera to buy and what would be suitable for a beginner. i have a few selection,(the Nikon Coolpix L810 or the Panasonic Lumix ZS20). what would you suggest.
The most obvious difference in the two cameras you mentioned, is the physical size and shape. The L810 is not a camera to put into a pocket or small space. It will need it's own case to carry it. That would have to have a shoulder strap, or carry handles. This is a low budget Superzoom camera w/lowcost ccd. cost $195.00
The Panasonic is a much higher quality,more pocketable camera. It can be bought in the U.S. for about $250.00 it has a flatter more logical shape, and can be carried in a much smaller place. It also has a better sensor, the mos type. It has a LEICA lens and it has a decent zoom range, a wide 24-480mm Slightly shorter than the superzoom, this Bridge camera is not the most popular, but it beats the L810 in every way. Better to learn with and not as bulky and obvious. I'm surprised the price is so close to the L810. I did give the price for silver, all the other colors are more but I'm not sure why. Both prices are from New York City.
Wondering how you're doing, Have you gotten a price on the ZS20? If for some reason it's not the one, or if you have any other questions, it's okay to let me know. I want it to be right for you both as a camera, and in your budget. Sometimes the NEW YORK prices are much lower. Please let me know how you're doing.
... Joe Prete
Thanks for all your help, I think I'm going to get the Panasonic Lumix DMc-lz20, it's more in my price range and I have found it at a cheap price on the jessops website at £99.95 or at £113.00 including the SanDisk Extreme SDHC memory card 4GB
That's actually very similar to the L810, both in size, shape, weight and internal components, namely the sensor. A far cry from the Panasonic ZS20. Just remember, you pretty much get what you pay for, and it will show up in your pictures, every one of them.
Well, Good Luck with it anyhow.
Best Regards,
... Joe Prete

Hi Guys,
After lots of reviews, research and finally got convinced with this review and joe's suggestions, i bought Nikon l810,my first Camera.
Now i feel to give my experience and opinions on it as i ve used it for a while now.
first let me confess, i was lured by the appearance of the camera as it looks like DSLR and i cannot afford it now :D i thought lemmi buy this one.
now after buyin it, i am kinda disappointed and the only reason being its lil big to carry.
comin to features of it ,with out touchin the technical specs, let me tell you they are as more or less same as of any other point and shoot camera.
clarity is awesome,night mode is very good.
i took some very good pics, it is value for money but who should buy this?
here is my opinion.
-if you are a beginner and just looking for a good quality camera to capture some fine moments with family and friends on daily basis.and not serious to become a pro in photography then this is not for you.
Reason: it is lil big to carry than compared to other point and shoot cameras providin same features and u can tuk them in u pockets easily.
this camera, u always need to carry a bag, need to worry about the lens,battery and due to its size u cannot take pics on the fly.
now who should buy this:
people who travel a lot where u see some scenic beauty may be lil far from u and u would like to zoom then its for you. 26x optical zoom, belive me its awesome. i was able to take a close up snap of moon with good quality. due to the quality the pictures are great in low light also.
I recently used my friends camera which is also a nikon one with 12 mega pix and i found exactly the same features in it except the zoom then i understood the exact meaning of the name of this camera. long zoom :D.
so if u need a camera for day to day or frequent and rough use then dont go for it.
people who like close ups and extra zoom, its for you.
i feel Nikon could ve added some basic DSLR featurs into it but sad it din.
hope this helps.
Joe,please correct me if there are any mistakes.
guys to add lil more to my post above. if u want to start ur photography dont go with l810s looks, it looks lil like slr but there is nothing in it as slr has not even basic features. i would suggest P510 for beginners though it costs lil more or find a second hand on ebay.
thanks again.
I agree with Sap's Post above, I think it looks like the P510 a bit, and I don't agree with that move by Nikon at all. Apparently that was the intention. It is always advertised in the same color as the most popular P510 color, and that is misleading many people.
This Camera is at best a poor imitation, of a clear winner. Even their number designation is misleading. One would naturally think that an 810 is a newer and/or better version of a 510. I shoot with Nikon myself, but I'm one of the first ones to complain about them, most often about their advertising. There has been way too many complaints, even for a low cost camera, the reports about blurry pictures are still coming in. And their Podcasts are a real joke, well, a joke would be funny, but what they put on their Podcasts isn't funny, it is Bullshirt !!!
It also has an apparent twin under another label that is sold in india, and instead of giving them a decent low cost camera that they needed, giving them another brand of the same camera was a very low blow. They haven't come out with the refurbished L810 yet, but beware, That will probably be their next move.
Anyone considering this camera should be aware, there are much better cameras in this price range and with similar Zoom capabilities. Anyone who needs one, just needs to ask, and we can provide a list of several alternatives.

I have just purchased the L180 and have been testing it by shooting my husband. And its killing me I don't more nor change the setting and every photo comes out different.. I have 15month old triplets and am wanting to capture every moment but they move fast.. I haven't tried shooting them BC they are asleep, but I'm terrified to BC of all the blur in a still not moving subject…
Should I return it.?
What do you recommend for fast shooting none blur photos?
Rachel Sly,
Yes, RETURN IT OR EXCHANGE FOR A DIFFERENT MODEL!
The Nikon L610 is a good choice. I have heard of a few reports of blurry pictures with the L810 Apparently this is old stock. If you tell me what is available to you, I can try to help you to get the most for your money. If you read through page one of these comments, you can see some of the alternatives, and contact information for me if you can't get through on line. Under any other circumstance the first lines of your post would be funny, but no this isn't a good situation. Contact me and we will find you something and make sure that the price is right too!

I got L810 last month and I really do not know why the camera is taking so much of delay to capture pictures. Sometimes it goes on well and sometimes it doesn't work properly. Is there any setting to be checked in order to make this work fine. This is my new camera and I do not have that much of knowledge in Photography. Please help me.
Thank you,
The first thing you need to know is how to operate the camera. If you're in a focus priority mode, the camera will not fire until focus is achieved. If your SDHC Card is not fast enough, the images will be buffering and delaying the camera and it's ability to fire again. It could be any number of things, but I can't tell you without seeing it. If you read any part of the owners guide, you would know that calling Nikon for tech support is your right as a customer, but you will have to have read at least the basic guide. They will not read it to you, so I suggest reading that, and if the problem still exists, call them, and let them try to help you. If you have it two weeks you are probably past the return date, so I hope that you follow through with this before the camera winds up on a closet shelf! Don't think that it's the camera because at this point it sounds like the owner. There was a batch that had blurry images, the people that wrote in before you apparently bought old stock. I don't know how basic a guide they gave you, but you can read the full guide at Nikon's web site. I'm sorry but at this point only you can help yourself.

I am having trouble trying to get my L810 to start. Now I am hearing this is not unusual in this camera. I was told to change the batteries, change the media card, clean, blah blah blah. I had to reboot it when I first bought it in August, 2012 but this time is different. The on/off light goes on but nothing else happens. I really really liked the pictures this camera took and I am upset that it has gone on the fritz in the 4 months I have had it. I bought it because it was a step up for me and I wanted replaceable batteries, not rechargeable ones since I travel so much. I am upset and miss the Canon I had. Can you suggest a Canon comparable to this one with replaceable batteries?
So….My camera mysteriously deleted or is missing over 100 pictures. I didn't delete them…..Looked and they were there…..looked again and they were gone. It's a Nikon Coolpix L810. There was no delete button pressed! Hooked it up to the computer & still NOTHING….Except the very last picture taken. Any suggestions? All my Christmas pictures, GONE… :-(
ALSO - Keep having issues where I take either just one picture, or a few & then it says battery exhausted. Have to turn off and turn back on. & It does it again. Brand new batteries & camera. Also, took a couple pics & afterwards it says File contains do data, for that picture. What's going on??? Did I just get a defective camera? I lost every single Christmas pictures (over 100), if I can't recover these pictures….
While I don't have a question about this product, I have to say that I'm very impressed with the details and timeliness of your answers. You've helped the people asking questions better than any sales associate I've ever been served by, and you're commission free :)
Just bookmarked your site, and I'll be back when I have a question.
I agree with Mohammed 100%.
I have never seen anybody responding so patiently to the user queries which are mostly repeated questions.
Answering such questions over and over again is testing patience. if it were any other person they would have closed the post for no comments.
I sincerely appreciate Joe for his patience and answering all the user queries timely and most cordially with great amount of technicality in it.
I too have bookmarked it the first day i visited and i would recommend this site first for all those who want to buy a camera.
You are a Tremendous man and a whole heatedly dedicated to your work.
Keep it up and thanks a lot for your efforts.
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year in Advance my friend.
Hi Joe,
By reading your expert knowledge in the photography and the comments you mentioned to help out some of the confused folks around here :D .I would also like you to suggest me a camera which i dont need to upgrade till next 5 years.
As i am an early adopter of the big cameras i would like to ask you whether to go with a bridge camera or a lowend dslr .I dont want to spend too much on the lenses everytime.
Currently i am looking into the following cameras to make my choice:
1)Panasonic lumix dmc 150
2)Nikon P 510
3)Cannon 1100D
Could you please help me in buying a good camera.
hey joe,
how are you man? Nice effort by the way, your blog is great.
This camera(SONY DSC-H100) which many people are talking about has been launched only in india, you can see all all its details on (sony india)
i am confused between nikon L810 and sony DSC-100. Please help me
Mohammed and Sap,
Thank You for your kind comments. I'm glad that I can help you guys!
Stephanie Smith,
I would suggest calling the SD Card Manufacturers tech support.
It is possible many times, to recover lost images on the memory card. Even if the card has been Formatted again, but not if a card has been used to store images after the reformat. They may be able to guide you through it, or have you send it in so they can do it for you.
Many times this is the difference between buying No-Name discount cards, and buying higher quality brand name cards. Those few dollars that you save, will not be worth it if you have no Tech Support line to call. Some brands even supply the software with the card, so take the time to look when you buy your memory cards because your memories are what you are trying to save in the first place. But always remember to not re-use a card with lost images. I always suggest to get two 8GB cards instead of one 16GB. In other words, Don't put all your eggs in one basket!

You do know that the current model for Panasonic is the DMC FZ200, but it is about $500.00 US. There's nothing wrong with the earlier models, the FZ100 or the FZ150 but their price should be about half that of the FZ200. In many tests against each other, they all produce just about the same results. They are all good cameras. So assume it's about $250.00 US.
The Nikon P510 is also a very good quality camera. In the US the price is about $349.00 It has a slightly longer lens than the Panasonic's listed above. There are very few complaints about any of these cameras. They all will provide you with years of good quality photographs and few if any problems.
The Canon 1100D is different from the Super Zoom, Bridge cameras listed above, in that it is a DSLR. The 1100D aka the T3 is an entry level interchangeable lens camera. While it's price may be similar, you will have to buy lenses for it. A "Kit" lens usually 18-55mm is what it usually comes with, may only add $50.00 US to the price, when bought together but to get further range, like to shoot birds or wildlife, most people add a second lens like a 55-200mm which could cost you another $200.00
Don't get me wrong, the T3 (1100D) is a very good camera to start with. Years ago, when I started, film cameras were what we used, so the Superzooms and the Bridge Cameras were not even available, there were only Compact Film cameras. The results were seen days or weeks after taking the image, and spending $15.00-$20.00 a day for film & processing was very normal.
I do have a Pentax IQ Zoom 160 & a Canon Capture Z115, but I haven't used them in years, but we all started with an SLR very much like the 1100D. You have a big advantage, in that you don't need a film camera, hence the D in 1100D & DSLR not SLR.
If you are serious, and can afford even the 18-55MM Lens, I say Go for it. (Note the word SERIOUS) Even if it means having less of a range, for now, you may soon have enough money for that Zoom lens, in the meantime you will improvise (move in closer).
If this is the case, I suggest that you email me, so we can discus what to expect, also what is available to you. I can guide you through. It's no harder than the other cameras, it's just different.
Just let me know Tanay,

You need not be confused, the Sony DSC-H100, is the same camera as the Nikon L810. See Post number 113 of the SONY RX100 review on this site, as this was one of the first times this issue came up here. Cracking their shells open was my plan, but it seems that we'll never find a Sony H100 in the US while they are still in production. Afterwards, it won't really matter. Just about every camera contains parts made by other manufacturers. Most computerized devices have this in common. If you can, buy it new or refurbished by the manufacturer so you get a warranty.
... Joe Prete
To Tanay,
Sorry for the typo on your name, I actually had to cut a lot of the post just to get it through the Spam filter. Go figure!!!
Anyhow, if you go the DSLR route be sure to write me so that you can learn about what you're getting in to. I think it's great if you're that serious about Photography, but it's not as convenient as a Bridge Camera or a Super Zoom. See post 102 above for the email.

Hi Joe, found that your site is much helped people who need some advises for finding right camera including me. Wanted to buy Nikon L810 today but after read your reviews I better change my mind. But now I am confused to buy between these options: Nikon coolpix P500, Nikon P510, Canon Powershot SX500 IS, Canon Powershot SX40 HS or Fuji Film S4500.
I think I better wait to get your review first before I go to the store. Thx Joe
Hi Eka,
Thank you very much for the kind words. I'd like to set the record straight though, Mark Goldstein runs this site and aside from doing excellent reviews, he's also a very nice guy. The Nikon P510 is the current model (P500 is discontinued) and it has really proven itself. Problem free, quite a statement, but it's true. I can't find any complaints in my log. That would be my first choice. The zoom is from 24-1000mm with very good image stabilization. For Sure, My first choice. It will be about $300.00 But buy from a reputable dealer so that you don't get grey market! If you have a credit card with benefits, you should be able to extend the warranty up to one year, just by using that card. It's become a very common feature.
The second choice would be the Canon SX500, It sells for about $250.00 It's a scaled down version of the Flagship SX50HS($380)
The SX40 is too close in price to the SX50 so it will always be second rate! Finally the economy line of Fujifilm S4500 is very well worth the $149.00 that it sells for, but being the economy line it really doesn't compete. So, to sum it up, it's in this order
1)Nikon P510 at $300.00
2)Canon SX500 at $250.00
3)Fujifilm S4500 at $149.00
If you have any questions, I'll be around. Good Luck!

Thanks for your quick response,my regards to Mark then :)for his effort to provide this site where people like you giving knowledges and info for people like me (the amateur). I decided to buy Nikon P510. Asked some stores here in Bali, all of them saying they're out of stock, lucky me I went to one store and found 1 left there. But I'll just get it tomorrow as i refused to pay with the additional charge if I used debit card and so does with credit card, better in cash. Not quite sure if I used CC there is a benefit to extend the warranty but it has 1 year warranty (but am not keen to use my cc, if it isnt urgent thing) :p . Here it cost me around US$340. I am so looking forward to get it tomorrow. Had kodak digital camera but its broken, so I must have a new camera. Am not pro i just kind of person who is liking to take some shoots and hoping to get a great images as am living in paradirse island (people called so)where many things needs to be captured. including me, myself…haha! I might come back with other questions once i got my new camera, so be ready Joe :D THanks a lot for your kind help.
I'll answer any questions you may have. I'm glad I could help. And btw, the pictures are excellent with the P510 I'm sure you will find it well worth the money.

L-810 Nikon
Does the 1/2 shutter focus function on both (easy auto) & (auto) modes,or is the focus automatically set by the camera in the (Easy Auto) Mode?
THX, your remarks are appreciated.
Ron, Do you own this camera yet? If so, have you read the basic guide? Has it focused correctly at all yet? We need the information before we can answer any questions. Fill us in!
... Joe Prete
Sir, i want to know whether the fuzifilm s4500 indoor zooming is compatible with this nikon l810 because l810 lags behind in indoor zooming, it takes much time so i am confused between them…so kindly guide me to decide..and my another 2 options are sony dsc h100 and lumix lz20…i am concern about the zooming time…
Thank you…
Joe, Sent all info
THX for your response…......
Joe asked what you sent, and to who?
He's on a shoot that's ends the 23rd
On my Nikon L810 i have yet to find a setting that will give me a fast shutter speed. I seen on the review that is had a .08 second but i have yet to find that, can you help?
He said of course he'll help you! Just send him an email explaining the situation and he'll look at it when he gets back tomorrow. There is an email address above this, at post #102 and he will see what he can do for you.
...... Jr.
btw, if anyone sees the Canon SX50 HS at Below $400.00 US please let us know, at the email or in the comments section of the SX50,
It's for one of our readers. ... Thank you, all
Dear Joe,
Just searching for reviews on nikon l810 ,i hooked up this site . Infact I wanted to place an order for it ..but well seeing the review of nikon l810 i just dropped the idea. Can you just suggest in this range canon model ...how about Canon PowerShot SX160 IS ...but even dpreview has rated this 2.5 .......so bit ocnufesd what to buy as i my budget is around $250. ...i am lukin for options like RAW,MACRO… hope u will guide me
JR, seems like the posters are getting confused as to who is sending which posts so I'm backing out. Thanks for all the good info. I'm keeping my L-810 Nikon. To me it still has more pluses than negatives. None of the competition is perfect either. THX, Ron
This camera is giving me nothing but a bad experience. 1. Focus while zooming: images don't stay in focus. 2. Sound jumps out of sync when viewing video. Don't buy it.
Is it a recent purchase? If so can you exchange it? If not, you have your warranty, right? We've been warning everyone about this one,
I know that doesn't help you, but what are your options regarding Return/Warranty. I think Nikon is sending out refurbs. which can be free of these problems.
... Joe Prete
Sorry, I was on a shoot, I thought someone would've answered you. My email address is at post #102, top of this page. Write to me, I'll help you asap. I got RAW, MACRO & $250.00 What are you shooting (aside from macro) and where are you located, in the U.S.?
... Joe Prete
I bought the camera online recently, so should have a warranty. I have to check on this, cause I would like to get rid of the camera. Thanks Joe
Hi Joe,
Thanks for your response…...finally i dropped the idea of buiyng nikon l810 after reading al ot of reviews and checking thru dpreview.com,cameralabs.com…..since i was looking for a bridge camera in the range 0f around $200-215 ,i am now getting hooked on to the Canon powershot sx240 Hs whcih seems to be a better buy…it has got digic 5 processor also….i havenot bought it yet…...waiting for ur reply and a thumbs up for this….u can also suggest any other model of canon…..
Locate all your paperwork, and you will have to register it with Nikon, if you haven't done so already. They will give you a form to fill out (via email) and a Return Authorization number (RA). When you send it in, if they don't have a location that you can easily get to, you will give them a clear copy of your receipt, and photocopy everything, write your serial number and your RA number. Write the RA number clearly on the box, and send it insured for full value. I always Photograph the equipment, the papers and the box. Yes this is a bit of overkill, but you want to get it right. My email address is at # 102, just above. If you have any questions, write me anytime. (Get everyones name, when you
speak to them on the phone. -always a good practice!) If you keep the original box, get a similar one, and DOUBLE BOX!!!
Best Regards,
... Joe Prete
Please tell me what kind of pictures you like to shoot and I'll select a few from which to choose in your price range, also how you want to carry it. The L810 would have needed a Camera Bag of it's own. Also, please don't think that this happens often with Nikon, this was a very rare issue. They are one of the major camera manufacturers.
Best Regards,
... Joe Prete
Joe, I want to buy another camera, now that I hate the Nikon Coolpix L810. Please recommend one for shooting motion (usually skateboarders) and zooming from a good distance. I guess I can afford $450. Thanks Gary
Thanks Joe,
Pls dismiss the nikon l810…well since I live in India ,i want to stick to nikon or canon since service also matters in the area where i live…i want to do some street photography…may be a bit of flora….nature…......so can u suggest that fits my budget ...i donna bulky one…
In that price range, you can get a real nice Zoom, The Panasonic FZ200 (600MM Zoom) or the Canon SX50 HS (1200mm Zoom) Both Have excellent Image Stabilization and can shoot jpeg + raw The Canon is a lot easier to start shooting right away, and has features like Zoom follow focus brackets (keeps your moving subject in the frame & in focus) and Facial Recognition. Power Zoom, If you don't need the extra zoom, don't worry, it just comes with the package!
The Panasonic FZ200 Has it's basic modes, but it can be very difficult to learn, it's very advanced. These days 600mm doesn't seem like enough, but it's got some real nice features. You do need to be more of a Technical/Photographer They could have printed an easier manual. I sent mine back and got the SX50 HS and was shooting before I left the store

Just so you know, I had to cut 2/3 of my reply because the spam filter would not let it through. (I'm in N.Y.) There was more info about the Panasonic FZ200, the whole paragraphs covering Fuifilm & Nikon. Both the HS30 EXR and the P510 can be found at B&H FOR $310.00 Also, the brand new HS35 EXR and Nikon P520 That's the reason that I take these conversations Private. I hope that the cut down section gets through.
... Joe Prete
The Canon SX240 HS is a great choice! Everything you need in a much more compact body. Macro Mode, 25-500mm 20X Zoom, Digic 5 CMOS Processor. It wasn't on the U.S. site, but I found it on yours and like you said, it has everything you asked for.
Also it will be much easier to carry with it's compact body.
The price I read was INR 17,995.00 if that sounds right I say go for it. I'm sure you'll be okay learning it but if you have any questions we'll be here. Good Luck!
Best Regards,
... Joe Prete
Thanks Joe…
finally i freezed my choice…...with Canon SX240 Hs after u said ok with it….thanks….will look for some valuable suggestions again…....take care…bye
Hello Pete, you have a great blog :) I was going to buy a L810 but after reading all these posts I changed my mind. My question is, what´s the difference between the nikon p500 and the nikon p510. Thanks a lot in advance!
Hi Maggie,
Yes, please steer away from the L810. It's finally reached the end of it's production run!! The Nikon P510 is the newer version with a Longer Zoom lens (24-1000mm), a newer sensor, and a few other improvements. I would take the newer P510 over the P500 for sure, but is it the right camera for you? If you tell us what kind of pictures you like to take, and how you plan to carry your camera, we can help you to make an informed decision. Just so you know, Mark Goldstein is the Owner/Editor of the site. I am a Photographer/Writer, but I'll gladly help you to choose the right camera. (btw, the new P520 and L820 were just announced on 1/28/13 and they will soon reach the stores)
... Joe Prete
Nikon COOLPLX L810 26x optical zoom…
If you getting this camera for summer daylight use it's a great camera.
If your getting it for winter (cold weather) 4 wheel trips, hiking, etc. where its going to be out in the cold for a long time, or you do a lot of night time work… this is not the camera for you.. No manual focus, or other manual setting at all. This is the first time I've ever been sorry I bought a Nikon..
Sorry Nikon… This camera just doesn't stand up to the Nikon standards..
and YES I will continue to use NIKON camera's.. Just not this model..
Respectfully… Jim Stacy… Ohio
Hi Jim,
We tried to steer everyone away from this one, but the low price and it's similarity to the P500/510 lead to many impulse sales, but it's the only recent Nikon that we know of with such a long list of problems. I'd like to say that you should have returned it or sent it back for repair under the warranty, but I'm sure there was a reason. No doubt Nikon should have given credit or a replacement for this one. We cracked one open, and it seems to be the same camera inside as the Sony H100 that is sold in India. Those daring enough might try the L820, but I would recommend waiting for a review from one of the major Photo Gear Review sites. I should say that Nikon has covered every issue that I have had with their gear, NPS and Consumer. Buyers beware though, there are many L810's still available.
... Joe Prete
Thanks Joe… Your right I should have taken it back… But you know how that goes.. .seems like I couldn't find the time and when I did it was to late… Thats my falt… what can I say… But anyway thanks for getting back to me…
I was at the NIKON U.S. East Coast HQ. and I have the current Firmware Update list.
For the Coolpix L810 Latest Firmware version 1.1 Dated 11/20/12
is the latest update. Check yours to see if it's current.
... Joe Prete
Hello Joe,
I want a low end bridge camera. I find the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ20 impressive but sadly there are no reviews of it on the internet. Have you used it? Is it buyable? If you haven't used it, can you tell me by looking at the specs? I will mostly use the camera for outdoor photography and for weekend cycling trips.
The LZ20 came out about June 2012 It's an extremely plain 21X Zoom with a CCD sensor. I believe the zoom range was 25-525mm
You may find NOS in some stores but it might be a problem if you ever need repairs. I wouldn't chase after this one, it wasn't very popular. The more recently introduced LZ30 I believe has a longer 35X, 25-875 Zoom lens. I'm not sure where you're located, so I would need more information to find out if it's available to you. It might be worth looking into the Fujifilm Cameras too.
... Joe Prete
NOS-New Old Stock. ... Sorry
... Joe Prete
Hey Joe plz gice ur opinion
Thanks for this review Joe….i like to take snap of any beautiful things comes across me,also i have intrest in wild life and nature photography. im a beginner, first i like this camera because of its big zoom and NIKON name on it, but now my mind is changed, so plz suggest me big zoom camera with better image quality in range of 250 USD, also what is ur opinion about sony cybershot dsc-h200 camera.
Thanks :)
The H200 was just announced last month, I believe the release date is 2/26/13 (tomorrow) So there hasn't been much said about it yet. It seems to be a bare bones model, that's not a bad thing if that's all you need. In fact, it may be better! Once the reviews come out, you should compare it with the Zoom cameras that are in the same price bracket like the Nikon L820 and the Fujifilm S6800 It seems that you can get quite a nice SuperZoom in the $250.00 price range now. If you have trouble choosing, write back with the cameras available in your area and we'll help you sort it out. Don't buy the first camera you see, at $250.00 you should make an informed decision. Good Luck Pratik.
... Joe Prete
Thanks for reply Joe…I will surely wait for review
Hiii Joe
need ur suggestion..im getting used canon EOS 1000D and Nikon D3000 in around 292 usd…shall i go for them (which one)? or wait for latest point and shoot camera?
I must make a suggestion, to any of you complaining about the use of AA batteries, rechargeable batteries are a good (and, for digital cameras, necessary) investment. This is my first camera, I bought a brand called Eneloop, and have never had these babies die on me!
As for the L810, I am very pleased with it. The 26x zoom is wonderful, comes out clear, it's a good starter camera for an affordable price. I've never tried any of the other brands, so I have nothing to compare it to. If you're an advanced photographer, this model -obviously- isn't for you. I think given its audience, it serves its purpose as an easy, user-friendly camera.
My only complaints are that it does take a few seconds to record before you can take another photo—that and the higher the ISO settings come out grainy. Aside from that, I'm happy with it for now!
I have the spec sheet for H200 and a few others. What's this now with the Canon & Nikon request. Have you changed directions?

Hapuna Matata: A Beach Hotel with the Best Beaches
April 3, 2012
By: Christopher Roney
Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel: It means no worries for the rest of your days. At least while you're there. Which probably means that if you stay there, you'll end up extending your vacation indefinitely until you forget to return home, abandoning life as you know it to sit on a Hawaiian beach, relaxing to the soft sounds of waves lapping at your ankles as the wind ruffles your thematically appropriate tropical shirt. That sounds pretty good actually. Maybe we should all take a little more vacation. I know when I do, my next one will be to the Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel.
On the Kohala Coast, the Hapuna Beach Hotel shares 1,839 acres of beachfront property with the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel, another gorgeous five-star property. With that much space, you're practically lost in the wilderness. The rooms and property itself are wonderful, modern and understated, allowing the natural beauty of the surroundings to shine through and carry the experience of the true escape. The Hapuna Beach Hotel is the perfect Hawaiian getaway.
Mauna Lani Hotel Is Pretty Great. I'm Just Sayin'
March 13, 2012
By: Christopher Roney
Quiet! Do you hear that rustling? What is that there in the leaves? Ah, ha! Got it! It's the elusive combo hotel, and I'm showing it to you now, live, on national television for the first time. And what a beauty she is...Look at those greens, those bungalows, I've never seen anything like it. You can tell from the way she lies there that's she cold-blooded, all that lying around in the sun.
Now what exactly is a combo hotel? It's an incredibly descriptive term that I've just now invented to explain the incredibly elusive bungalow hotel that is also a golf resort. Now, normally when you think of bungalows, you get lost in an afternoon of daydreaming, but then you remind yourself that you were actually trying to remember where you might find them, and then you think of the Maldives, the native habitat of the quiet and reserved bungalow hotel. And then you imagine a golf resort, and it carries you across the world to Scotland, or any of the mainland courses from Kiawah Island to Pebble Beach. The Mauna Lani Bay Hotel and Bungalows is a holy union of these two concepts, bungalow housing with breaktaking ocean views and a golf course that hugs the shores like it loves them more than its own mother.
For the gender normative family, Mauna Lani's two championship golf courses give the guys a place to play while the children enjoy the Mauna Lani Camp and disinterested spouses relax at one of the "World's Best Spas" according to Travel & Leisure magazine. A less stereotypical family might send the men to the camp, the women to golf and the children to the spa, but I'm pretty sure that violates some kind of age requirement. Either way, you're sure to have some fun at the Mauna Lani, and I haven't even mentioned the farm-to-table dining at the Canoehouse, their signature restaurant. I better stop now before I get carried away. I've probably already oversold the place, and now they're going to be booked up when I try to reserve. To get in before I do, just head on over here to check availability and learn even more about the Mauna Lani Bay Hotel and Bungalows.

Privacy, elegance, and superb hospitality are of the most importance at this luxury resort, ensuring an extremely romantic and peaceful escape.
Auberge Du Soleil in Napa Valley, California

We Sell Swell Suites by the Sea Swells
September 20, 2011
By: Christopher Roney
This just in: The Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel is offering crazy deals for the fall season. Situated on the Kohala Coast in Hawaii, the hotel is home to 1,839 acres of scenic beachfront which it shares with just one other hotel. Its name is derived from a series of underground springs that used to bubble to the surface and form Artesian fountains, providing fresh water to weary travelers. Now the Hapuna Beach is home to an 18-hole championship golf course and offers a ridiculous variety of activities: swimming, snorkeling, outrigger-canoeing, sailing, kayaking, whale watching, and deep-sea fishing. Or you could just sit on the beach all day and enjoy the view of Hawaii's twin volcanic mountains, Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa.
Either way, the resort is offering some great deals, including getting your third night free. So escape the fall weather and check out this amazing island location. In no time, the headlines will be reading, "travelers tired of tourist traps try traditional, topnotch retreat."
The Waikiki Edition Hotel is Now the Waikiki Modern
August 30, 2011
By: Mary Winston Nicklin
The owners of the Waikiki Edition changed their locks overnight, according to The Wall Street Journal, installing new management, kicking out Marriott International Inc., even changing the signs. Marriott partnered with hotel pioneer Ian Schrager to launch the trendy new brand, but since the debut of the Waikiki property, it has floundered. The owners filed "a lawsuit in New York Supreme Court that Marriott had failed to make the flashy new Edition hotel brand a success, resulting in the Waikiki location underperforming relative to its market." Marriott has also opened an Edition hotel in Istanbul, and planned to open additional properties in London and Miami Beach. What's next in this dramatic hotel saga? Will Marriott regain control of the Edition? Only time will tell...

I think they were made by Winchester for Sear's Roebuck in the 60's and/or 70's. I'm not sure.
My local gunshop has a .22 LR rifle with such marking. Its a tube feed w/ built-in scope for $119. Its in prestine condition, looks really nice, but I don't think I need another .22 LR rifle. If you're interested I'll PM you their #.

It depends on what you have, Savage and High Standard also made JC Higgins for retailers (Sears, Western Auto, etc..) . I just got the new Gun Parts Catalog and in the back there is a cross reference guide. So what do you have?
May 5, 2003, 03:56 AM
A lever action 30-30(very Winchester) and a bolt action 20 gauge- I haven't seen to many bolt action shotguns, maybe they were popular back in the day. These both belonged to my Grandfather, on to my Father, on to me...
May 5, 2003, 08:07 AM
J.C.Higgins was an accountant for Sears and Roebuck, they liked his name. Sears bought guns from many sources, Savage, H.S., Marlin, Browning, Stevens, Mossberg, Winchester, etc., and private labled them.

K40, see if you can find a model number on the guns. It will be of the form NNN.NNNNN (the number of N's will vary on both sides of the dot). 10 to 1 the 30-30 will be model number 273.nnnn which were models made by Winchester for Sears including the 94's.
May 5, 2003, 09:30 AM
I have a JC Higgins bolt action 20gauge that used to belong to my grandfather. Nice little gun. Great for squirrels and such. I try to take it out once a year.
May 5, 2003, 12:33 PM
Some of the Sears centerfire bolt actions were made using FN and Sako actions. I have a Model 50 J. C. Higgins 30-06 with an FN Mauser action. It is a very accurate rifle.
May 5, 2003, 01:21 PM
I have a bolt action 22 "JC Higgins" rifle that was made by Marlin.
It is a Model 81, tube feed (like the Model 60 semi-auto).
Very similar to the Model 81TS that Marlin makes today.
Actually, I usually forget and just call it my "Marlin 22" ...
May 5, 2003, 03:48 PM
I'll get the #'s and get back, thanks for all the info!:D
May 5, 2003, 08:30 PM
Me, too.
My friend at work just refinished the gunstock.
The rifle was my Dad's .22. I hadn't seen it in over 40 years until one day I had a chance encounter with my late Dad's best friend.
He got the rifle out and gave it to me.
It's technically a Marlin 81 as referenced in the Gun Parts catalog.
On the barrel are the following markings:
I put on a Tasco High Country 4-16x40 scope and my B-Square bipod.
The stock had just been unprofessionally hand sanded by me and was bare wood. It now has a light walnut stain and gloss finish.
Note the peculiar shape of the plastic triggerguard.
I'm pleased to have it back in the family!
May 6, 2003, 01:28 AM
Have a JC Higgins 51L in 30-06 that has a Husqavarna (sp?) action. The stock and barrel are from High Standard.
The Higgins is to the rear:Dhttp://pic7.picturetrail.com/VOL188/1012473/2061961/24784004.jpg
May 6, 2003, 03:35 AM
I fired a J C Higgins 51L with a monte carlo comb stock and iron sights in the 1960s. It was a light 30-06 but fairly comfortable to shoot. The iron sights were excellent patridge type but the front looked unusual just like yours.
I have really searched for one like it. In all these years I have seen only one, a 243 WCF with a missing front sight and the funniest amateur checkering in the state. The gun show dealer proudly told me he would have to charge me extra because it was a rare Husqvarna. I declined.
The 51Ls had High Standard bbls with 1-10 twist for the 243, while the Husqvarna had a their own bbl with a 1-12 twist. I am still looking for a good one. The stocks were cheaper than the Husky. The Husky had an adjustable trigger, maybe optional, I think. Anyway -- nice rifle!

New Verizon phones due out by the end of the year
0. phoneArena 19 Jul 2009, 06:51 posted on
One of our tipsters informed us of some new Verizon phones that are due out over the next 5 months...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

If Verizon does have a stock pile of Omnias, the best way for them to sell them would be to exempt that model from the required $35 a month data plan, people would buy them up like hotcakes.
54. VZWProductTestr (Posts: 56; Member since: 03 Jul 2009)
That will never happen. they would be more likely to offer a BOGO. like when they were trying to sell through the Storm, Curve, and Pearl
52. patriotmc (Posts: 1; Member since: 21 Jul 2009)
Are there any rumors about a Dare 2? I'm also interested in a phone with a form factor similar to the Curver or Tour that has a qwerty keyboard and nice sized screen but does NOT require the PDA data plan. Would be nice if it had features similar to the Env Touch or Env 3.
53. VZWProductTestr (Posts: 56; Member since: 03 Jul 2009)
No word on a Dare 2 yet. I will let you know if I hear anything
61. Sethdras (Posts: 61; Member since: 22 Jul 2009)
Hey VZWTestr, appreciate the help on the info first off. I just wanted to see if you could let me know of the specs on the TP2? have you heard anything about the HTC LEO or MEGA? I have the new every two but i am waiting for a nice qwerty smart phone, probably either android or winmo, obviously the TP2 is at the top of my list right now. any release date info or specs would be much appreciated, thanks!
65. kjack628 (Posts: 49; Member since: 19 Jul 2009)
I think Might wait till Wm7 come out. I have been hearing rumors of a microsoft phone code name "pink" that name sucks and I hope it's not pink, but the rumored specs sounds sweet *cough* snapdragon!!..I think I might pass on the o2 but I still like it and they are saying that it's rumored for verizon to take on the iPhone. We will see
66. VZWfangirl (Posts: 71; Member since: 25 Jul 2009)
@ VZWProductTestr Do you know when we will see the Motorola Calgary and IF we will see the HTC Hero? I'm dying for some Android.
68. J (unregistered)
Question? Ihave been with Verizon before they were Verizon, when I update my service why can't I get a good phone free, instead of a cheap phone? Seems to me you would want to treat your longtime customers better than you do! Verizon works better at my home than the any one else, but I'm think about them just to get a good phone! Thanks

After more than 40 years in various capacities with the Altoona Area School District, Assistant Superintendent Mary Louise Ray is retiring.
Ray will retire Dec. 1., but she'll be scarce in the district as of today because she is using accumulated vacation days that will last to December, Superintendent Thomas Otto said.
"She is able to begin the well-deserved use of those vacation days," Otto said. "She will be in and out, certainly, helping me and the rest of the administrators transition to the various duties that she did. And I would like to express my appreciation for all she's done for me personally and for the district."
Article Photos
Ray was absent for the meeting Monday in which the school board unanimously accepted her letter of resignation. Members Cheryl Rupp and Judy Berryman were absent.
The board subsequently approved Luke Lansberry, director of curriculum and assessment, as acting assistant superintendent with no salary change.
"(Ray) met with me at the end of last week, and she submitted her letter of resignation for retirement purposes today," Otto said on Monday.
She is retiring at a salary of $132,722.
District Community Relations Director Paula Foreman said Ray was dedicated to students throughout her career.
"She has given all her time and energy to the betterment of education. With any decision, students have always been in the forefront for her, and she's always operated from that position."
In other actions taken Monday, the school board voted to approve the administration's recommendation to create a position for a full-time district attendance officer. A part-time officer was initially recommended by the district's administrative attendance committee in June.
Otto said he felt that the district had a need for a full-time officer.
Sharon Bream was the lone member present to vote against creating the position.
"I am not for a part-time or full-time district attendance position," she said. "I'm not for expanding the administration at this time. (The duties of an attendance officer) should be handled by people we already have."
The full-time attendance officer salary would be in the range of $40,000 to $50,000, Otto said.
More than a third of the district's student population, 3,021 students, had unexcused absences in the 2013-14 school year. The total number of days those students missed without an excuse: 16,054. And 1,358 students' parents or guardians were served a notice regarding their children's truancy. More than 420 of those families were prosecuted.

Weddings at Carson Ridge Cabins
Relaxed. Serene. Perfect.
It is the goal of all of us here at our Columbia River Gorge Cabins to help create a most relaxed, serene, and perfect wedding for our guests.
This starts with our location; though we are located just an hour outside of Portland, Oregon, our setting in the Columbia River Gorge feels remote and peaceful. It is convenient for members of the wedding party and guests to travel to Carson Ridge Cabins; and once here, the stresses and pressures of everyday life will dissolve so that the wedding takes central stage.
Weddings at our Hood River Lodging are relaxed because they may take place over the course of a day or several days. Many wedding parties arrive a day or two prior to the ceremony. The bride and her bridesmaids have time for a Bridal Shower, luncheon or tea, massages, or yoga classes. The bridegroom and the men who will stand with him have time to bond over an outdoor adventure like whitewater rafting or golf. The Wedding Party may enjoy a leisurely rehearsal dinner on site, and the bride and grooms may retreat to separate cabins prior to their marriage.
Hood River Weddings at Carson Ridge Cabins may take place in your cabin (ideal for elopements and intimate weddings), in our lodge by a wood burning stove (ideal for small winter or rainy day weddings), or on our Wedding Gardens overlooking the Columbia River Gorge and the Cascade Mountains (ideal for summer weddings of up to 75 people). There are few places in the Pacific Northwest so perfectly suited for outdoor wedding ceremonies and receptions.
Brides are invited to stay in our Mt Hood Cabin, especially for summer weddings. A path leads directly from the cabin to our new Wedding Lawn. Guests watch as she exits her cabin and walks to the alter and her new life as a married woman.
Our romantic Columbia River Gorge Cabins are ideal for honeymoons, too. Some couples spend their whole honeymoons here, while others spend only the first night or two as a married couple here, before traveling to far-flung places.
Relaxed. Serene. Perfect. That's what weddings at Carson Ridge Cabins are like.
Please call 877.816.7908 to speak with us about hosting your wedding here.

Hi there – I saw your blog on the GBB Facebook page. I am born and raised Washingtonian but moved to SoCal about 8 years ago. Your picture of the wedding space looked like my backyard when I lived in Shelton and made me almost wistful missing the green up there. Your cabins look beautiful!

Old Lunenburg Sour Cream Cake
Total Time
Prep 20 mins
Cook 1 hr 30 mins
This recipe was taken from the Jan/Feb 2006 issue of Saltscapes (Canada's east coast magazine). A lady from New Minas, Nova Scotia won third prize in the magazine's 5th annual recipe contest for this cake. Depending on just how tart I want the glaze and if I want more of it, I sometimes double or even triple it.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- 6 eggs
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1⁄4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1⁄4 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 cup sour cream
- 3⁄4 cup icing sugar
- 1 lemon, juice of
- In a large bowl, cream butter until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add sugar, beating well. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each one.
- Sift together flour, baking soda and baking powder; stir dry ingredients into creamed mixture alternately with vanilla and sour cream. Do not over beat.
- Pour batter into a greased and floured 10 inch tube pan, and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 30 minutes. Do not open oven door during baking time.
- Test the cake for doneness. It should be lightly browned, and a cake tester inserted in centre should come out clean. If cake isn't done, bake for another 15 minutes. Test again.
- Let cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then turn onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Combine glaze ingredients and paint on cake with a pastry brush. (As I tend to make more glaze than called for I simply spoon it on the cake and let in drizzle down the top).
Most Helpful
Incredibly rich & moist cake! I made this cake for a co-worker's birthday & unfortunately, ran out of time to make the glaze. But, I'm sure I'll be trying this again soon with the glaze.

2:10 Clinical Development of a Novel Pan-Histone Deacetylase (HDAC) Inhibitor, Romidepsin, from Phase I through Registrational Studies in a Range of Hematopoietic TumorsJean Nichols Ph.D., President and Chief Operating Officer, Gloucester PharmaceuticalsRomidepsin is a unique bicyclic peptide that has been identified as a novel pan-HDAC inhibitor. More than 600 cancer patients have received romidepsin as a single agent or in combination with other agents in clinical studies conducted around the world. Romidepsin has activity and is well tolerated in patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL), cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL), and multiple myeloma.
2:40 Development of the Pan-DAC Inhibitor Panobinostat (LBH589) in Anti-Cancer TherapyPeter Atadja, Ph.D., Group Leader, Novartis Institutes for Biomedical Research
The highly potent pan-deacetylase (DAC) inhibitor panobinostat (LBH589) has shown evidence of clinical activity in the treatment of both solid tumors and hematologic malignancies. However, the specific mechanisms underlying the anti-cancer effects of panobinostat remain to be elucidated. Panobinostat induces gene expression, protein hyperacetylation and significant anti-proliferative and anti-cancer effects in a number of cancer cell lines and in vivo tumor models, including lymphomas, multiple myeloma, and small-cell lung cancer. We have undertaken preclinical screening for panobinostat sensitivity to predict tumor types with potential clinical response and to discern the molecular events mediating the anti-cancer effects of panobinostat.
3:10 Progress in the Development of VorinostatVictoria Richon, Ph.D., Senior Director, Cancer Biology and Therapeutics, Merck Research Labs
Vorinostat (suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid, SAHA) is a nanomolar inhibitor of Class I and II HDAC activity. Vorinostat induces growth arrest, differentiation or apoptosis in a wide variety of transformed cells. The anti-proliferative effects of vorinostat are believed to be due to drug-induced accumulation of acetylated proteins, including the core nucleosomal histones and other proteins (e.g., bcl6, alpha-tubulin and Hsp90). Results from clinical trials show that vorinostat can inhibit its target enzyme, HDAC, in peripheral mononuclear cells and tumors, at doses that are well-tolerated. Anti-tumor activity has been seen in patients with both hematological and solid tumors. Vorinostat was approved by the FDA in 2006 for the treatment of cutaneous manifestations in patients with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma who have progressive, persistent or recurrent disease on or following two systemic therapies. Vorinostat is currently undergoing evaluation as a single agent and in combination in clinical trials in both hematological and solid cancers.

4:20 Overcoming Resistance to Targeted Therapies with Entinostat (SNDX-275) - The Oral, Class 1 Selective HDACiPeter Ordentlich, Ph.D., Director, Scientific Affairs, Syndax Pharmaceuticals
Resistance to targeted therapies in cancer can be de novo (i.e. absence of target) and can also be acquired (i.e. cell growth becomes independent of target). Both scenarios represent significant challenges to effectively extending the benefit of targeted therapies Two cases will be presented in which SNDX-275 is used to restore sensitivity to a targeted agent and the clinical applications of these findings will be highlighted. The first relates to resistance to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and the second to resistance to anti-estrogen therapy in breast cancer.

Sky Biotech Puritin™ and RedSee™ – Unique Tandem-Affinity Tags for Protein ProductionScott Gridley, Ph.D., Director of Protein Sciences, Blue Sky Biotech, Inc.,
Recombinant protein production continues to be challenged by difficulties in achieving satisfactory solubility and purity with many different target classes. Here we describe two unique tags developed by Blue Sky Biotech – the Puritin™ and RedSee™ tags. The Puritin™ tagging system is a novel tandem tag incorporating polyhistidine and a mammalian biotinylation domain that provides for rapid, parallel high-affinity purification. We have expressed SHIP2 with a standard polyhistidine tag or with our Puritin™ tag in insect cells, with and without co-expression of mammalian protein biotin ligase. While HIS-SHIP2 is predominantly insoluble and binds weakly to nickel-chelating resin, Puritin™ tagged SHIP2 binds with high affinity. Further, we demonstrate efficient in vivo biotinylation of the target protein which is dependent on co-expression of the mammalian protein biotin ligase. Currently, we are expanding the application of this tag to include rapid association of recombinant proteins with streptavidin-conjugated matrix, easily facilitating further protein purification or protein-protein interaction studies. The RedSee™ tag is a chromophoric tag that binds a commercially-available chromatography resin, thereby enabling visual tracking of protein purification during affinity chromatography. Furthermore, RedSee™ has been observed to enhance solubility of several enzymes expressed in E. coli. As a leading collaborative research service provider, Blue Sky Biotech continues to provide increased value to our clients through technological innovation.

In a wide range of preclinical models, belinostat has shown potent growth-inhibitory activity when used as a monotherapy and in combination with a variety of cancer therapeutics. Belinostat clinical development is focused on maximizing patient exposure and optimizing administration schedules when used in combination with other treatments. Oral, intravenous and continuous infusion schedules are under investigation with efficacy being demonstrated as a monotherapy, and in combination, against hematological malignancies and solid tumors. In addition, preliminary evidence for re-sensitization by belinostat of tumors refractory to chemotherapy will be presented.

Diaz's late goal give unbeaten FC Dallas 2-1 win over Timbers
By STEVE HUNT / Special Contributor
FRISCO — In a game in which each team finished with 10 men, a late goal by Mauro Diaz proved decisive as FC Dallas remained unbeaten with MLS' best record by beating the Portland Timbers, 2-1, at Toyota Stadium.
Diaz's goal, his second of the season, came in the 84th minute after Kellyn Acosta sent a ball into the top of the Timbers' area that deflected off Portland's Norberto Paparatto. Diaz gained possession and finished into the far side of the net from about 8 yards out.
"Well, a very exciting game," said FCD coach Oscar Pareja, whose team moved to 3-0-1 (10 points). "We felt the energy from the fans. The character and effort from our players was outstanding. We're very happy."
Portland, still winless at 0-2-2 (2 points), went down to 10 men in the 39th minute after defender Michael Harrington was ejected for what was termed a fight with FCD midfielder Je-Vaughn Watson. A minute later, Watson also was shown a straight red card for his role in the incident.
The referee's assistant on the far sideline, George Gansner, made the call to expel both players. Referee Sorin Stoica seemed unaware of the situation until Gansner called him over.
"The players were moving out from Portland's penalty area when [Je-Vaughn] Watson struck [Michael] Harrington," Stoica told a pool reporter. "Harrington struck him back. Both were off-the-ball [fouls]. Both players were sent off for violent conduct."
In the postgame locker room, Watson was flabbergasted at the turn of events.
"There was nothing there to give a red card for," Watson said. "Soccer is a competitive sport. He [Harrington] was pulling on me and I was pulling on him. It was on the ball the first time, so I don't see that's a red card. I was saying [to the referee] before he gave the red card, 'If you're going to do something, that's a warning. That's not a red card.' … I got a red card for nothing."
FCD pulled ahead right before halftime when Blas Perez scored his second of the season off a header at the far post in stoppage time. However, Portland would answer in the 66th when an attempted pass by Timbers midfielder Maximiliano Urruti ended up in the Dallas net when it deflected off the left foot of FCD center back Matt Hedges for an own goal.
Following the equalizer, Portland pushed hard for the go-ahead score and nearly converted on several occasions but fell short.
Dallas returns to the field Saturday with a match at in-state rival Houston.

Mobile chip giant Qualcomm (NASDAQ: QCOM ) has tapped fresh 52-week highs, levels it hasn't seen since the tech bubble. Still, Qualcomm has lagged the broader market so far this year, with its 10% gain underperforming the S&P 500. Investor sentiment has been negative, in part due to skepticism over where the smartphone market can go from here.
Concerns over smartphone saturation and deceleration have weighed on smartphone vendors, but that also carries over to Qualcomm. Unit deceleration is one thing, but falling average selling prices from competition also have negative implications on Qualcomm's lucrative licensing business. The company also fell after its last earnings release due to less-than-stellar guidance, but investors may be realizing that pessimism was misplaced. On top of that, competition is heating up as NVIDIA prepares to launch Tegra 4i early next year, and Intel is now shipping its first multi-mode LTE baseband modem.
In this segment of Tech Teardown, Erin Kennedy discusses Qualcomm with Evan Niu, CFA, our tech and telecom bureau chief.

IRVINGTON — A township man was killed Wednesday afternoon following what appears to have been a dispute with another man, Essex County's chief assistant prosecutor, Thomas S. Fennelly, said.
The 46-year-old man, who was not further identified pending notification of family members, was found by police officers on the 100 block of Western Parkway, Fennelly said. Police were responding to reports of a dispute there, he said.
The man was taken to University Hospital in Newark, where he was pronounced dead at 4 p.m., he said.
"The cause of death will be released after an autopsy is performed by the medical examiner," Fennelly said in a statement.
No arrests have been made at this time, he said. The prosecutor's major crimes task force and township police are continuing their investigation, he said.

Danny Boyle To Direct 'Trance'
To say Danny Boyle enjoys being busy might be an understatement. I think he feeds on it. The man is in charge of staging and directing the opening ceremonies of the London Olympics in 2012. But before he gets on that, he wants to film another feature, just for the heck of it. The project is called Trance and centers on an art heist gone wrong. Like his last two movies Slumdog Millionaire and 127 Hours, it's modestly budgeted in the $10-$20 million range. Of course, he'll just do most of the photography before working on the ceremonies and then once the games are over in August '12, he'll pick the film back up like nothing happened and hopefully release it in March '13.
Look, I'm sure Boyle is confident in his work with the games but after watching Beijing's opening three years ago? I wouldn't sleep wondering how I could top that. But I guess Boyle doesn't have much to fear since the Doctor will be lighting the torch anyway.

Home occupations are one of the activities that will be affected by an ordinance amendment recently approved by the Hopkins Township Board.
On Aug. 11, board members voted unanimously to approve Amended Ordinance 2-2014, which had earlier been recommended by the planning commission. The changes involve several sections of the township ordinance code, and will take effect on Aug. 29.
The previous home occupation ordinance, adopted in 1977, did not include many details about specific types of enterprises, but did require residents to secure a special use permit before starting a business at home.
It required all residents wishing to engage in a home occupation to secure a special use permit from the planning commission. Approval would be based on several factors, including the nature of the home occupation, the nature of the surrounding neighborhood and how it would be affected, the home occupation's effects on the environment, potential traffic congestion, and parking and traffic concerns.
The new home occupation rules also reflect those considerations, but add more details. There will now be a two-tiered system depending on the type of home occupation. Both are allowed with a special use permit in the Agricultural, R-1, R-1a, R-2, and R-3 zoning districts.
Type A occupations must be associated with a dwelling and carried on only by those who live there. The list of 22 occupations includes secretarial services, television and small appliance repair, architecture and interior design work, furniture upholstery, musical instrument instruction (within noise limits), sewing, home arts and crafts, accounting, cabinet-making, beauty salons and barber shops, a pastor's office, and others.
Type B occupations include those involving the use of a detached accessory building or which involve one or more nonresident workers. Also on that list are gymnastics studios, bed and breakfast establishments, veterinarian's offices or clinics if located on parcels of at least three acres, and machine shops.
Chuck Wamhoff, a township board trustee who also attends planning commission meetings, said the changes to the home occupation rules were designed to let township officials know "what's out there, so we have control ... this way we'll know where you are, and what you are."
In the past, he said, many residents were carrying on home occupations without applying for the required special use permits. From now on, new and existing home occupations will be notified that they must register by a specified deadline, or face a lengthy and more expensive application procedure.
"If you miss this window, you're going to have to go through the whole procedure," Wamhoff said. He did not specify when that date would be.
Other subjects addressed by the ordinance changes include camping, mobile home parks, recreational vehicle storage, and others. The complete amendment is available on the township website, www.hopkinstownship.org/ordinances.

Retailers' Descriptions
Here's what other sites are saying:
Rumor has it Colby West was determined to test out the waterproofness of the Spyder Operator Pant, so he famously took it for a dip in a pool in Portillo. And while we don't advocate such extreme measures, you can expect this stretchy pant to keep you right at the center of the action, no matter what the weather.
