MH lighting
Hi,
$80 for a ballast (cap and coil) sounds about right, but it depends on the type and model. Do you have the model number ?

I would like a coral: comments suggestions

Digital cameras what to get? Prices?

A50 is a fine choice, the only drawback is the batteries. They are the non AA variety. But, they do run on those lithium batteries that some SLR use.
