My Marantz PMD660 digital recorder was acting up again recently, cutting in and out when I would monitor sound through the headphone jack. The same thing happened last year while the product was still under warranty, and they very quickly fixed it. I had it back in a week and was very impressed with their service.I called the company the other day, ready and willing to shell out some money to get it fixed. I found out they don’t do out-of-warranty repairs. They referred me to a company called Superscope that could fix it. When I talked to them I found out it was a $175 repair. Ouch.I decided it was time to turn into a repairman myself. I ordered the part for $7.50 plus $7.50 shipping. After about 15 minutes, the machine was fixed and ready for action.

I photographed my first soccer game in quite some time this afternoon. It was kind of fun. I used a Nikon D2H with a 300mm and a 1.4x teleconverter. Not quite ideal, but it was kind of fun shooting Nikon again. I’ve been using Canon for the last few years. All of the criticism I’ve heard about the high noise in not-so-high ISOs on the D2H seemed to be true, though, despite the fact I shot on raw.
