I think I solved my tripod/angled center column dilemma (fingers crossed)!

Nice Denise!! Could you post some photos later on so I can look at how it looks in use. It sounds like you have made a great buy and that you've found some great service down the road. Vanguard sounds more and more like having a great quality/price ratio. Have fun with it!

Yesssss!!!! My experience exactly...kudos to Chris at Outdoor Photo Gear.....if you live within 100 miles of Lousiville Kentucky you should go see his place. It's not large bu the has alot of cool gadgets and he's fun to talk with.

Wow, you'd drive 100 miles for a store? I know I don't mind to pay a little more for better service, but up to 100 miles. That sounds like Outdoor Photo Gear must be doing something pretty good then. Kudos to them.

Here's a few shots taken with my old p&s. Keep in mind, I haven't used this thing in over two years! Also, I'm not used to loading directly from my computer so hopefully this will be big enough when you click on them.
