Review of Canon NB 5L Lithium Ion

More brilliance from sony.

Advantages: Brilliant battery life, looksa and size
Disadvantages: Probarably don't need a spare

...This battery came with the Sony Cybershot DSC-W55 and i have been using it for about 2 months and have not found a fault with it. It came free with the Camera (Amazom £139) but it can be bought separately for around £20. The battery charges up through a charger which plugs to a normal plug socket and takes around 4hrs depending on how charged the battery is. I got this charger with the camera and you should get it with any sony camera you get. The ...
...replacement but i have not found a need for one. I recently took just one battery on a 10 day holiday to Italy and found that the battery lasted all holiday, taking in excess of 200 pictures, and it was not dry at the end of it. As for the size of it, it is only 35mmx41mmx8 mm and weighes a megre 300g. This size not only means that the camera is that much more compact but also a spare is very easy to transport as is the charger. I know that it gets ...

Review of Sony NP BG1 Lithium Ion

Steadfast, loyal and true!!

Advantages: Reasonably priced, portable but very sturdy!
Disadvantages: could do with reaching just a few more inches at full height.

...photography too, starting with the Sony VCT-R640 tripod. Although this tripod is nowhere near top of the range it does pretty much everything you would expect of it and at a great price. Sony products are always of high quality and this tripod is no different. It can be used for still imaging cameras or video cameras as long as they do not exceed 3Kg in weight which unless you are using top end professional cameras with huge lenses they will not. ...
...what you are filming. The Sony VCT-R640 tripod comes with a quick release mounting shoe which means the camera can be removed and replaced on the tripod very quickly without it having to be unscrewed each time, simply screw the camera to the fitting shoe then attach the shoe to the tripod with one click and remove when needed and replace with simple one click motions. At its lowest height this tripod stands around 21 inches stretching to a massive ...

Review of Sony VCT R640 Tripod

...difference between each retailer Lowepro do some excellent bags for cameras and camcorders superb quality and sitched very well. Far better quality than quite afew bags on the market, they have a fluffy inside on all different sections of the bag which prevents scratches on your equipment I give this 5 out of 5 stars as i cant fault it. Well worth the price and i would say quality is superior ...

Review of Lowepro Rezo 160 AW Shoulder bag Digital photo camera

Very handy little thing

Advantages: Easy to use and robust!
Disadvantages: None found yet

...simple to use. On my Nikon D50, all i have to do is hold one button and swivel the dial a couple clicks and there, all set up. This allows the photographer to take photos of close up wildlife from a distance (so that they arent scared by some big human). It is also handy when it comes to astronomical photography. When the remote mode has been activated and the shutter speed turned right the way down until it reads "--", you can press the remote button ...
...until you press the remote button again - no timings whatsoever. You can determine the time the shutte is open. It is also very robust. I managed to drop it in a stream where it sank for a few seconds before i fished it out. I then threw it to my friend to dry off and he missed it so it crashed into the concrete path. It was perfectly fine - needed a little drying though. I highly recommend this item as it is so easy to use and yet so useful (and ...
